Time to wake up

It's been a year that I went on hiatus from blogging. And for over a year, there are a lot of things that happened to me and obviously I cannot write them all in one entry. Haha. Well, let me see, here are the highlights of my life (ups and downs) since my last entry.

1. New Career - Yes. I finally gave up ony old job and took a bigger and tougher challenge. It's hard to say goodbye to people who've been part of my life for 4 years and to step put of my comfort zone but I guess I really need this so I can grow professionally and personally which I think I am now. This new job allows me to explore and to think even more for there are a lot of people depending on you. But what I like most about my new job is it allows me to be with my parents more frequently. They're not getting any younger and I'd like to spend more time with them.

 2. I am a certified tita's boy. When I was only 2 mos old, my tita started taking care of me. No she did not adopt me but nanay and tatay opted to give me to her so that they can work for all of us. Growing up in somebody else's supervision may feel weird and may result to a feeling of emptiness and the like but tita never allowed me to feel that way. She ensures that I will feel loved and protected. That I have everything that I need (well, even those things that I don't need hehe) Having said this, she's one of the reasons why I wanted to be assigned in Bulacan again. - to be with her and my parents. But all of a sudden, fate played his cards on us. She was diagnosed with lung cancer. stage 4b. too late to be cured. All of a sudden I felt that the heavens and earth fell on me. I cannot fathom the pain and sadness embracing my heart. But God is good. He enlighten us and allowed us to see the brighter side of life. Until last December, 2 days after Christmas, my tita joined the herald of angels and went to our Saviour. It was painful. I realized that the pain of losing someone isn't only the idea of not seeing that person again but thinking of all the memories you and that person had and knowing that these will never happen again. Until now, there are nights that I still cry myself to bed. Telling her how thankful I am to have her in my life. I know with God's grace, we will be okay. more than okay.
Time flies so fast that we need to savor every moment of it for not everything will happen again. No. Not the same degree or something like that. :)

Say a little Prayer

Image
Last Sunday, I attended our Church’s service. As always, I felt like Ptr. Bong was talking to me. He reminded us that God want us to pray at all times, for in praying we talk to Him. It’s our chance to tell Him whatever we would like to say. And recently, sad to say, I had less time to pray. I am guilty. I feel ashamed. Just like what the Lord told us in Thessalonians 5:16 - 18 16   Rejoice always,   17   pray continually,   18   give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. Regardless if we’re happy, sad, angry, terrified, lost, satisfied or anything, we have to pray. We have to pray to ask for guidance and most importantly, to glorify Him for everything. Starting tonight, I will try my very best to be more prayerful and to spare time for Him.

May oras ka pa ba?

“Anong pinaka sweet na bagay na ginawa ng partner mo sayo?” tanong nya. “Ang hirap isipin. Pero siguro during the time that I was assign sa Cagayan De Oro for a month and sinundan nya ko para samahan for one month.” Ang sagot ko. Bigla akong napaisip. Ano nga ba makakapag pasaya sa isang tao? Paano mo mararamdaman na mahalaga ka? Time. Mahirap ibigay ang oras. Mahirap maglaan ng oras. Bago mo pa maramdaman ang sweetness, ang thoughtfulness at lahat pa ng “ness” you need to spare some time. Mahirap naman magpaka sweet kung wala kang time, diba? Kahit sa phone, in person o sa chat pa yan – it all requires time. Ang pagbibigay mo ng oras sa mga taong mahahalaga sayo only shows kung gano sila kahalaga. Yung mga oras na ginugugol mo sa kanila, pwedeng pwede mo gamitin sa ibang bagay, sa ibang tao, pero mas pinili mo sya. Madalas, sa mga tao ngayon, hindi na napapansin ito. Akala maliit na bagay lang, na simple lang ang oras. Pero kugn tutuusin, halos lahat di pagkaakunawaan pwedeng mag uga

Twitter Holiday!

Image
I started using Twitter last May of 2009 primarily to avoid my ex then who used to work for Facebook. So I guess you can imagine what runs in my mind whenever I open my Facebook account then. I started with a handful of followers; got hooked following celebrities (yes! Certified fan boy! Haha!) and receive first hand chismis. Months passed by and before I knew it, I have more than 1k followers, been following more than 1k twitter users with less than 33k tweets. Whew!  I must admit I really really enjoyed the twitter world. I discovered a lot of thing about anyone. I met a lot of asshole people and a handful of good ones. But I guess there will come a time that I have to take a break. Twitter is no longer healthy for me or helping me. I can say that little by little, it’s tearing me apart and destroying me. So I guess I need to take a break. I need to stay away from people that will not help me improve and will just influence me to do bad things. I need to prioritize other things.
