Perfect Match - surely not the end Yet?

Welcome to Las Pinas City
Last March 8, we move out from our small unit near Dela Rosa, Makati and transfer to a much bigger place - townhouse in Las Pinas. Well, it was not easy though since we don't have any help arround. It was just me and Tata, though we manage to leave Andre with her Ninang in Binondo. It was not easy but we are getting by. Thanks also to Joann, who allow us to rent her townhouse at a very affordable amount. Thanks to Tata's sister who help looking out for Andre while we are busy packing and unpacking. Whew. We are not settled yet, still a bit messy and things are still not in place yet though I am happy we are now living there.
Las Pinas is a bit far from Makati and the traffice is terrible. Yet, I have to be thankful for now since I am blessed to have officemates living nearby and I ride with them. Thanks to Eugene - our Director, who allow me to ride with him in the morning and to Libay - my officemate and a very dear friend who allow me to ride with her in the evening. Yey. So much to be thankful for and hopefully will settle soon.
My only wish for now is for us to find our permanent place after this. I hope this will be the last time we will be renting and hopefully we can have our own house too. Yeah! One day we will... soon!

Grey Day!
There are days we are confronted with real life drama... well... its all part of the journey. At the end of the day... all things will end and there will always be new beginnings. The good thing is the sun is still shining and setting to give us hope and reassurance that today will end and tomorrow will be another day. As Morrie said it: What one must do to grow: PACKING and UNPACKING!
For whatever it is and for whatever it takes... we are all fighting the good fight and someone would win our battles...
In you Lord, I submit everything!

Who Am I?
Yey... this is truly a song I considered so powerful - by Casting Crown
Who am I?
That the Lord of all the earth,
Would care to know my name,
Would care to feel my hurt.
Who am I?
That the bright and morning star,
Would choose to light the way,
For my ever wandering heart.
Bridge:
Not because of who I am,
But because of what you've done.
Not because of what I've done,
But because of who you are.
Chorus:
I am a flower quickly fading,
Here today and gone tomorrow,
A wave tossed in the ocean,
A vapor in the wind.
Still you hear me when I'm calling,
Lord, you catch me when I'm falling,
And you've told me who I am.
I am yours.
I am yours.
Who am I?
That the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
And watch me rise again.
Who am I?
That the voice that calmed the sea,
Would call out through the rain,
And calm the storm in me.
Not because of who I am,
But because of what you've done.
Not because of what I've done,
But because of who you are.
I am a flower quickly fading,
Here today and gone tomorrow,
A wave tossed in the ocean,
A vapor in the wind.
Still you hear me when I'm calling,
Lord, you catch me when I'm falling,
And you've told me who I am.
I am yours.
Not because of who I am,
But because of what you've done.
Not because of what I've done,
But because of who you are.
I am a flower quickly fading,
Here today and gone tomorrow,
A wave tossed in the ocean,
A vapor in the wind.
Still you hear me when I'm calling,
Lord, you catch me when I'm falling,
And you've told me who I am.
I am yours.
I am yours.
I am yours.
Whom shall I fear?
Whom shall I fear?
'Cause I am yours.
I am yours.

Christmas Dinner...
Last December 20, my grabeh friends... my second family in Manila had our annual Christmas Dinner. For sometime now, after everything, it used to be Kuya Alwell, Ate Vicks, Yuga, Gen and Me... This year is a bit different. We are happy to see more faces and new people coming in. Ate Meb and Kuya Tong did come to attend. Pretty usual thing, dinner, kwentuhan and all... Well, also happy to see Ali and Tin in there. So it is a Merry Christmas I guess!
My Christmas Blooper?
The holiday is about to be over. Wow... ang bilis talaga ng panahon... soon it will be 2008 and I guess... its been a JOURNEY. My last days in Manila was really hectic, dinner here and there, party is all over and weddings to attend to, and of course... WORK to finish.
I left Manila last December 24 and looking forward to the midnight mass since after 8 yrs I will finally be attending it. But guess what, I didnt wake up. I spent at the office overnight last December 23 and so I didn't sleep really. When I arrived home I thought of taking a nap that ended up sleeping and I woke up at 8am on the 25th. Well, glad to have rested really.
I am happy with my stay here and so in love!

Silver Year and Better Days!
The day went well. I was surprised by Les and Libay's Vi Bear...
Isn't he adorable? Hahahaha! I am still looking for a name and maybe you can suggest one... hehehehe!
I spent the day with a mass and dinner alone but not lonely at all! At 9 Bambi, Pao, Pio, Elle and Jong joined me at Cafe Breton. It was worth celebrating with them as they have been there in my journey through my spiritual life. Oh I missed Ate Bambi and Mommy Elle really.
My birthday is really a blast. There's more to celebrate life with. Kuya Tong, Ate Vicky and Kuya Gen treat me out for a dinner at Giligans and dessert at Cafe Breton again last Saturday, December 8. So this year is all about coffee and crepes... hahaha! Well... for the past years I have been celebrating birthdays with them and I missed Kuya Alwell and Kuya Yugs... well in spirit they are with me! But really, I missed you there!
And by the way, I received gifts from Alvin... as always, chocolates and a Mango Bag. It's a nice classy big black bag. What a surprise really and this bad travels all the way from Qatar. Well, what can I say? I am blessed having this person so miles apart yet so near in thoughts. Thanks Vin for taking time to remember! I appreciate and truly like it. Well... blessing are outpouring indeed: Friends, gifts, prayers and good life... what could I ask for? Thanks to those who greeted me. Thanks as well Ate Vicks for the nice wallet!
So here's to a more exciting, fruitful, colorful and truly blessed year ahead...
