"We just want to be HAPPY"

I had a dinner date with my two bestfriends..We chat for three long hours....talking about our career, family and lovelife....We've been experiencing oppressions lately but we remain positive in our outlook towards life...we're still blessed since we know to value what we have though inadequate in some areas of our life....

We always say, "We just want to be happy." And we want to get what we want and insist on that no matter what it takes...we're focused on our own happiness...though we're very loving in nature, we get frustrated when our efforts were not reciprocated...is this love or obsession? And we've realized that we're self-centered in some of our ways...We're quite demanding in nature - makulit ever!!! and we love to reason out....as women as they say should learn to humbly submit or compromise..Indeed, ARIES women have strong personality, ambitious, passionate and stubborn in nature...

Whatever we've gone through, we've learned our lessons....to seek God first, and focus NOT on our small gods because will just fail...So thankful that after our girl's talk, we have gained wisdom through our shared experiences..."the only real failure is to quit" and we won't give up trying to love and live life better each day and to avoid committing same mistakes....No regrets but keep on moving forward...

For all the guys we've loved and hurt, WE'RE VERY SORRY!!! We're not perfect but we have just loved that much.....

GOD is in control....

People get out of balance when facing a problem. Some have lost their sanity or committed suicide because they don't know how to deal with their predicaments.

They should have discovered the secret of living a fuller life as Christians. It's realizing that there are things that are beyond our control as human beings and only GOD can do. We should leave it to Him, surrender and trust that GOD IS IN CONTROL!

I thank and praise God for the gift of faith....

Wisdom of My Tatay

"It's not by what happens to life but how we react to it; not even by what life brings us but by the attitude to life because destiny is not a thing to be waited for but a thing to be achieved."

If there's one person who loves sending nice thoughts, it's my Tatay! I just received this text message from him and I felt guilty because it's been more than a month of not reaching him out....Whenever I receive touching message from him, I would show it to my friends and would brag about my loving father. There are times that his words of wisdom would make me cry especially when I have concerns that I opted not to share with my family. Of course, my Tatay knew me very well and he's gifted with an instinct to provide me with encouraging words via "text message" in times that I needed them most. I always believe in what he say but I'm not obedient all the time. But there's one thing that I keep in mind, his reminder since I was a child - "To Pray Always."

A Good Apology

A good apology has three parts:
1) I'm sorry
2) It was my fault
3) How do I make it right?

A lot of people usually miss the third part.

I received this text message from my friend Yam and it made sense to me. Because I'm one of those who can easily apologize for a mistake but seldom exert an effort to avoid repeating it.

My realization was no matter how I've tried my best to overcome my weakness, I still fail. It's true that changing our ways is not possible without help from God. It's only through God's grace - with fervent prayers and God's word as our weapon - that we could triumph over our shortcomings.
