Paradox of a busy me!

I know that my posts are far in between. Of course, I would plead being busy. I should also say I have several drafts that I have yet to finish. I find it weird, though, that I feel the urge to write and blog just when I am busiest...

I should really go back to work just now................

A Royal Engagement

Truth be told, I do not think I am alone when I say my heart got broken yesterday when Prince William announced his engagement to Kate Middleton.  He just looks so dreamy. He looks every inch a prince charming.

Honestly, I got teary eyed. I think it is nice when someone gets engaged;  it is a testament to love and its power. I am happy for them. 10 years is a long wait for them both and yet love grew stronger. I felt sad for myself a bit. I suddenly longed for what they have. When can I find my own prince charming?

Questions and Reflections

For two prayer sessions in a row, my reflections have been in the form of questions. I seem to be wondering more and more instead of finding certain insights or answering the guide questions. It had led me to more questions. I keep on asking. Is this just my nature or am I entering the asking phase? Is this because I teach and critique for a living, that I seem to be trained to just ask.

Feedback time

Not that I hate feedback, but there is always a tingling sensation every time my  supervisor sends me an e-mail that says Feedback for a certain duration. I think it is quite normal, and it happens to everyone (or is it just me?)

Every time, I receive feedback, I try to read it through. I try to absorb  as much as I could before plunging in to work. The notes are helpful, by the way, because in writing there is always merit in having someone look in to your work. I just realized that after a feedback, I get too cautious. I sometimes take hours to do what needs to be done when it would have only taken seconds.   I try soooo hard. Is it just me? Is this normal reaction after a feedback and wanting to better one's self any chance I get?


One thing is certain, though, after I have adjusted and tried my best to overcome apparent weaknesses, I will be thankful. Work will be easier because I have learned a new trick or two. Work will be faster because I tried to adjust. Work will be a joy knowing that I am improving every step of the way. I hope that I can learn how to use all these feedback to my advantage; after all, is anything or anyone perfect?

God's Grace!

When God blesses your life, it is quite empowering. It makes you thankful in so many ways. You believe in life more...You believe in the power of prayers and that God loves you more than you deserve. It provides more dedication to work harder. God truly looks out for you.  =)

new template

I had not been posting for awhile now. I guess I just broke my new year's resolution, but I will be making up for it.

I saw this new templates thingy and decided to give it a try. I am not sure why the welcome note is justified left. hmmmm.

I like the color. It is quite bold and fantastic. I think I will use this for awhile...

Welcome back me!

Internet connection

After a month or so of not having my usual internet connection, it is up and running again. I wonder when i can reconfigure using the router. I feel like it will be busted again once I redirect it.

I, at least, do no have to buy load for my plug-its just so I can do my work...

More post in the next days to come. Hopefully, this internet connection works well.

There are too many things to do...

All at the same time...

That I just do not know which one to start

or even finish....

that i just had to moonlight.

or whatever you want to call what I am doing now.

about the wordless wed photo

I bought the X-Mini some 6 months ago. Every time, I was about to buy, it seems to be out of stock or the stores with the merchandise is selling at a higher price. I really wanted one, at that time, i really needed one. I was so happy after I bought this. The problem is I saw the red one that was released a month or so after i got mine....It was so nice...I want that one better! =( tsk tsk

Wordless Wednesday!!!!

That month...

It is February once again. It means V-day, Chinese New Year and Ash Wednesday.

As v-day approaches, it means I have to avoid going to restaurants on that weekend. Everything will be fully booked. Since that is the Chinese New Year weekend, I am betting I will really be at home. =)

Chinese New Year - means new linens and new curtains. more than 12 fruits on the table. Food that will bring luck, incense, and other stuff that will bring luck...

Ash Wed - At times, it means only one thing for me - No meat on Fridays!

Happy Feb!

Whataweek!

It has been a not so good week for me.
Got sick and still not flg too well...
a flood of not so good news tumbling one after the other....

God grant me courage...

grant me serenity...

mysteries of social networks.

In Facebook, whenever I post a status message or a pic, there are people who usually say a line or two. I can almost count on them to make me feel that whatever I said or did was worth their while, as well. Or they just have not seen me for a long long time. It could also be because they are too polite. =)

The funny part is this: My best friends are usually the ones who are silent. They would rather chat with me, and I think they know that the things that I have been writing down are a bit of small talk or a shallow part of my day or my life and what they really wanted is a deeper conversation. They wanted more than the one-liners I can share. I think the friends who try to comment, are also giving me a chance to be their good friend.

Another funny part is this: I checked out this application that says "who is checking your profile." I wonder how accurate that is because the people in the top ten has not been commenting or sending me a private message even. Glad to know that they too would like to know more about my life, too.

Whatever the reason, people are looking for a way to keep tabs with families and friends.

Quitting Social Networks.

One person I know told friends that her new year's resolution include using Facebook for only an hour a week. I wonder how she can do that when there are loads of things to do in Facebook, and at this point, she is not even down to an hour a day. I know cause I see her posts. I realized that Facebook has become among the guilty pleasures of this era.

It will be hard to let go of social netwroking sites if you are far away from family and friends. Facebook and the like makes you feel that you are having recess and listening to your friends tell you about their lives and the latest trends. It's a blast to find out what my friends whom I have not seen in years look like and how they feel at this point. This is so important to us Filipinos since most of us have family and friends who are working abroad.

Facebook has different games that people can play with. A lot of my friends are addicted to these games and the fact that you can like play with your other friends makes it look like you are back in the front yard running around or playing pretend.

In short, we are all in a social networking site because we want to connect with others. We would like to let them know how we are, and we also would like to find out about them. Social networking sites bridge the gap between and among friends, and makes the world a smaller and hopefully, a better place for all of us. =)

love affair with footwear

All girls love shoes and footwear. For a long time now, I have been quite a fan of flip flops because as they have become an acceptable part of an everyday get-up, it affords a person such a comfort. It is literally a breath of fresh air. I have almost forgotten some of the sandals or shoes that I have at home. Here are two of what I have been wearing the past month.








The first one is a pink beaded Sandals. It is quite cute. The second one are ballet flats that can be worn both ways. That, I guess, is the lure. If you get tired of the design in the middle of the day, you can just use the other side...and it looks like you have a different pair altogether. Cool.

A New Year's Resolution

I realize that I have not written that much..

My new year's resolution is to write in my blog at least once a month!!!! =)

Hope I can make good on that resolution!!!
