1. Put God first in everything you do. Make Him your priority and He will give you your heart’s desire. Psalms 37:4
2. Know that the only thing that is constant is change, so adapt well with the given circumstances and find happiness in little things.
3. Don’t stress yourself with things that are pulling you down, instead rise up above the challenge and do the best you can.
4. When problems arise, know and believe that all things work together for good to those who love God. Romans 8:28
5. Seize the day! Make the most out of everything. Life is beautiful! Smile and be happy. You deserve to be! :)
** These are just some of my personal reflections. More to come!
I’m currently enjoying my third day in Iloilo. Yey! :)
I’m learning a lot from our Regional GMA co-workers. We get to observe real job operations, ask random queries, answer tough questions, get hands on experiences and totally immerse in our work.
I even get to bond and befriend co-workers from GMA Bacolod and Iloilo teams. They’re super accomodating and friendly. Simply Awesome! Haha.
I haven’t got the chance yet to explore the City nor eat the famed Lapaz Batchoy. I’m excited already. Come free time. I’ll scourge the city for a good find. Haha.
I’m currently working on a story today, researching and making a script to be shown on Sunday. Phew. It would’ve been waaaay happier if my GMA naga team were here too.
So far, I’m relishing every minute of every waking hour of this awesome experience!
I’ll keep you posted.
I miss Naga already. I miss you guys. *HUGS*
Ilang minuto pa, 21 na ko. Hmm. So? Wala naman. Di exciting. Same old routine. Pero sana bukas maging ma-swerte pa rin ako at matupad ang gusto ko. *fingers crossed*
Okay. So today, I had faced the inevitable. I finally faced my fear with needles. I had given 2ml of my blood for laboratory testing for medical purposes. I felt the needle as it was being injected through my cooperating vein. I could still feel my arm tingling as it sucked away my blood. I even felt nauseous. It hurt a little less more than I expected though and in 10 more seconds, it was over! Boy, was I jubilant! I felt free. Finally! Hahaha. I know some of you could never understand my reaction to these things but hey I am entitled to this. At last, it was over!

Thus, the picture conveys one of my latest achievements. Hahaha.
I felt even unusually happy today too. My cousin Che and I scoured SM Naga for great finds. We bought food supplies and had played pranks on things we found funny. We had even played tagged using the Anti bacterial hand soap and traitorously placed a handful on each other’s arms. Hahaha. We ended up in the rest room to clean up our soapy mess. But boy, it was sooo fun! Hahaha.

Finally, after spending the day out. We figured to reward ourselves with a job well done this day. We bought ready to cook Pizza Crust and cooked our home mad version of “Beef Pizza topped with awesome green bell peppers”. It tasted sooo good. We only spent Php40.00 for the Crust, Php15.00 for the bell pepper and the rest of the ingredients were stocks from our ref. Haha. Still, We have one more pizza to make for tomorrow. Super awesome. Haha.

One more funny thing that happened today was the epic tricycle we rode from SM to Centro. The horn was soOooo freakin’ loud that every time it beeps our heart do double back flips! Hahaha. Never did we stopped laughing for the entire duration of our travel. The man sitting infront of us were giving us annoyed looks and that got us even more riotous. Hahaha. So much for killjoys. Haha.

One last thing, I checked my face book earlier tonight and found one message from a stranger. A foreigner for that matter. It turns out that my dad, who’s now working in Dubai knows the stranger from work and told him about me. Uh oh. So much for maintaining low profile. Hahaha.

Super super last thing, I got another marriage proposal tonight from a “friend”. Darn. This is the third one I received since last year. Hahaha. Random conversations that trigger these unabashed proposals are creepy. So much for marriage. I’ll answer that 5 years from now. Hahaha.

I love love love this day. ♥♥♥
I’m counting the seconds, minutes and hours left to spend with you both. For surely, the next few weeks and months, all we’d ever do is spend hours virtually communicating via internet. It’d be different than talking to you face to face every minute of everyday as I want to. It’d be more complicated to ask petty queries and share to you the littlest things that bothers me. I’m preparing myself for the coming days, weeks and months I’d come home and I’d get to do everything as independently as I should. This is a temporary arrangement I know. In time, we’d all be together again in one country. Hopefully.
Rest assured, I’d be as disciplined as you taught me to be. I’d be as independent and responsible as the way I should be. This would work for I know God has plans for us, for our family, for our lives.
I love you both. ♥
In the next 24 hours, kiss and hug Ethan for me. :)
I pray for strength of will.. ..to painlessly finish the med exam. I pray for courage.. ..to fight my fear of needles. I pray for comfort.. ..to free the doubts in my mind. I pray for reassurance.. ..to know that everything will be fine. I pray for myself.. ..so that I could do it just fine. ** I made this entry out of the blue today. Well, I was feeling jittery and adamant for the unfortunate med exam, all my thoughts came pouring out. I freakin’ hate needles, injections, and the likes yet I have to face them ALL. Tomorrow. I have no choice. FML!
All it every took was:
One Glance.
One Smile.
One Wave.
One Hi.
And right then and there..
My heart melted.
My heart skipped.
My heart giggled.
My heart smiled.
