Missing Ralph...

The Music Team admin were at Chinkee Tan's seminar (which is by the way the best seminar I attended so far) and Shaui was able to give the pictures from our company's family day. Shaui and Ralph are my guests and obvoiusly, Maybelle is Josh's (hehe). Anyway, after seeing our last pics with him before he went to Manila the day after, I missed him again... sad that someone who's dear to me (take note, we just met last February... hehehe) have to go... but I really pray that he'll get a good job to help his family...
Here are some pictures (and the PWT is shouting... we miss you, Ralph!)

Under the Sea.. part 2!

Thanks to Mellow (belated happy birthday again!) that I got the chance to see the gardens under the sea again... Yes! We went scuba diving today!

Forget the panic because of my breath losing (or should i say not using the breathing gear properly? hehehe), hurting ears because of the pressure (i am now a master of equalizing!haha!)... the corals, shells, fishes, etc etc are really really nice! It's like you don't want to go up anymore, it's much better under the sea!

I was with a new batch this time... Meong, Bunny, Yan2, Wewet, Aya and Ian... CDO peeps! :) People that I really miss in Cagayan de Oro... which makes me think, when is the best time for me to visit CDO? Hmmm... I have a very busy travelling sched starting next month... maybe after my Singapore trip... hehehe!!! I don't want to be alone though, so I hope to tag some along... hehehe!!! I will post the pics one I have it from Bunny, Aya and the divemasters :)

Emotions from the Past

In my previous post, I already mentioned that I've fully forgiven those who treated me wrong... including the man behind my past relationship. Thanks to Claire (hehe), what happened in the past 11 years went back (it's okay Claire, i'm so much okay to discuss it now)...

Eleven years... eleven years of fun, tears, anger and love... I know that most of the years that we were together, we loved each other. But it's not God's will that we be together, despite of the years.

How we parted ways (well, officially) and events after that were very traumatic. Looking back, I still feel the pain... i sometimes feel the anger... I still weep sometimes. But at the same time, I appreciated what I've learned after everything. In my Facebook notes, I mentioned that one of the things that I appreciated was my friends... friends who never left me in those trying times... for the words of encouragement and prayers, thank you... those really helped me a lot! Also my colleagues (friends) and my local team... I was actually surprised on the support they've given.

A bright light is now shining on me after the pain... and all because I have a God who's always there...


Btw, i'm currently listening to "Light of A Million Mornings" rendered by the Philippine Madrigal Singers... it's in my imeem playlist... http://www.imeem.com/people/ovsYFLE/playlist/LsTqod-K/the-one-and-only-madz-music-playlist/

A Prayer for a Friend

I talked to a friend and he shared his current struggle. I was actually shocked that he shared it with me. Though I am really happy because this will be the way that I can intercede.

I've prayed for him and also some of the people around me to be moved and go back to Him. I know that the Lord is doing it to my friend. So, I pray this short prayer secretly (coz we should not do it publicly... read the Bible)

Decade-long Friends

I am currently in Davao City, where I believe the Lord would like me to work and to serve Him. One fallback though is that I don't have my family and friends with me here to talk to whenever I need someone to talk to or a shoulder to cry on.

I opened my friendster account this morning and saw a message from one of my high school friends – who by the way is one of the good looking guys with a good voice, Henry. Our salutatorian, Richard built a social site for our high school batch. Suddenly, I went to reminiscing mode… hehe…

My high school life was not really as exciting as compared with college. However, I had lots of firsts during high school… I am so excited and happy when I look at my batchmates’ present pictures. Most of them looked successful – I know they are.

Then I saw one of my kumpares’ shoutout – his blogsite. I opened it and commented on one of his posts. He is one of my closest friends since 1^st year college. I am actually one of the godmothers of his daughter. Then I realize… wow! I have a number of decade-long friends and not all have those.

I am really so blessed - a healthy life, a good career, good friends, colleagues and subordinates. I just really hope and pray that I’ll stay here… (dot, dot, dot…)

With God’s grace, we’ll have victory! :)
