Sweet Dreams Baby Girl





Sweet Dreams Baby Girl

For the past years of my life, I have these dreams: For my family to stay happy together. To finish my studies (including masters). To end up happily with the one I love. To be able to afford the things that I need. To land on my dream job. So far, not all my dreams have been accomplished but I'm happy with whatever I have. Discontentments pushes me to go on.

Amazed, Happy and Hopeful
( Friday, February 06, 2009)



I'm not the kind of girl that goes to mass every Sunday. I just go to mass on Christmas eve and when I'm attending weddings however, it doesn't say I don't believe in God. I do believe in one and always thank for everything in my life. Somehow, all the things that happened during the past year just fell into their proper places and things are clearer to me now. There's no denying how God leads us to where we should be and He really makes everything better in time.

Who can imagine how friends can miraculously be there when one needs them? I never thought that this will be possible but it is. Opportunities lost rarely comes back but last month, it came back to me just like it was meant to be mine.

Last year, I thought I will be stuck forever helping out with my dad in his business. I love helping out my dad. It is actually one of my dreams but it was not my only dream so I was on the brink of giving up my other dreams then move on to the others. January came and I was still hanging there somewhere when I got the phone call that changed my perspective and maybe my life.

Now, I'm here, sitting on this chair at this dreamy office typing my blog since I'm just new and under training. I'm still observing how things go around here and seeing how things go around here in the office amazes me.

I love it here. The people are nice, my bosses and colleagues are really very smart and talented people. I adore them. I want to learn, I want to be one of them, I love what they do and I think this really is for me.

For my friends who told me to always acknowledge the signs and God will put everything into their rightful places, thank you! I love where I am now and hope things just keep getting better.

Life's Lesson
( Friday, December 12, 2008)



As the end of 2008 comes closer, I realized I have learned so many lessons this year. A year may seem to be a long time but every year has always passed by so quickly that time has never stopped for me. This year, it’s different. Time seems to freeze even though it was moving. I again have learned another lesson about life that seems to be simple but really hard to accept. So many things happened to me this year that it took a lot of time for me to recover each time a blow hits. I think the biggest blow happened today. It is really a wake up call for me. A friend of mine once told me I have always been lucky with the things I believe in and the way I see life. It is so true. This time, I’m not lucky enough and I really understand what she meant. Today proved everything. I’ve learned another life lesson and my views of life have permanently changed.

Check Point
( Saturday, October 18, 2008)



For a lot of people, I look quite productive for the past month but for me, I feel stagnant not because I wasn’t able to do anything but I’m at that point of my life where I’m facing so many difficulties that I just want to stand there. I’m driving around Manila to Paranaque almost everyday, being a foreman for the new house, helping out my dad with his work at times and reviewing for an exam I’m not even sure if I still want to take. The gimmicks I had with my friends were quenchers for the fatigue I gathered from all these personal stuff I’ve been doing. Actually, the only time I stopped and rest was that overnight stay I had in Tagaytay last month with Stella and Caca. All these personal things look simple enough but they actually occupy most of my time. After more than a month, most of these things will be done soon and I should face this point of thinking where I am headed to after these things are done. What do I really what out of my life? What do I really want to do?

Since I was a kid, I’ve always known what I want and those have become my dreams in life. After a life-changing experience, some of my dreams have changed and this has put me in a quite confusing situation. A friend told me that I’m growing old that is why my wants in life have changed and I should focus on what really matters to me. I do agree with my friend. I’m not as “walang pakialam sa buhay” as what I used to be. I want to grow old and become someone.
