.:: Goldi's Noted Thoughts ::.
Sometimes I believe all the lies
so I can do the things I should despise.
And everyday I am swayed
by whatever is on my mind.

I hear it all depends on my faith
so I'm feeling precarious.
The only problem I have with these
mysteries is they're so mysterious.

And like a consumer I've been thinkin'
if I could just get a bit more...
More than my fifteen minutes of faith,
Then I'd be secure...

My faith is like shifting sand,
changed by every wave...
My faith is like shifting sand
so I stand on grace...
Stand on grace.

I begged You for some proof
for my Thomas eyes to see.
A slithering staff, a leprous hand,
and lions resting lazily.

A glimpse of Your backside glory
on this soaked altar going ablaze.
But You know I've seen so much,
I explained it away...

My faith is like shifting sand
changed by every wave...
My faith is like shifting sand
so I stand on grace

Waters rose as my doubts reign
My sand castle faith have slipped away
I found myself standing on Your grace
It'd been there all the time

My faith is like shifting sand
changed by every wave...
My faith is like shifting sand
so I stand on grace...
Stand on grace.

Life can seem unbearable at times, but don't let it keep you down. Meditate on God's goodness, talk to Him, and know that He hears you. When life knocks you to your knees, you're in a good position to pray.

Haaaay... At Last, I Saw the Sun
Yey! Glad to be back in the morning shift again! Whoa! I've just been in the graveyard shift for two weeks and I felt like it's been almost a month! My schedules were ruined. I was not able to meet up with my cell group because I already don't have the time. I've had a hard time getting sleep in the morning and staying awake at midnight, talking to americans and answering their questions... though I am not doing much email as much as we do in the morning, I still find the graveyard shift more exhausting because you get to talk a lot, and that means you breathe a lot *grin*. Hehehe.. honestly, not only that. It's really very hard getting myself to sleep in the morning, when you know everyone's awake, and you hear a lot of noises like the TV, and the people talking, people coming in and out of the room (I share room with my sisters), my stomach grumbling... tapos anjan pa yung tatay ko na pag nakita kong gising pa, uutusan ako. Hello? Ala pa kaya kong tulog? But my father is not always like that naman eh. There are just times that he seem to be so insensitive.. at pag minsan, parang lalo pang nang-iinis. O baka it's just me so bugnutin (hehehe.. arte eh, no?)

Anyway, I'm done with the graveyard and here I am again, back in the morning shift. Graveyard shift is not really bad, kasi masmalaki ang bayad pag graveyard because of the night differential. I just had my activities planned with the morning shift in mind kaya I can't cope up with the graveyard shift these days kasi hindi pwede yung rest days ko pag panggabi. I will be having problems with my Church activities and other commitments so I'll have to choose a different rest day for the graveyard shift. Saka, masmarami akong nagagawa pag morning kasi syempre, normal hours yun. And I get to drop by the mall pa and buy the things I need whenever I want after my shift. Basta, masgusto ko ang morning. Siguro pag kailangan ko na lang talaga ng extra money, I'll go for the graveyard shift. :)

But right now, I'm still having a hard time getting everything organized again. I'm on the period of adjustment na naman (hay naku). Tinamaan ata ako ng katamaran eh. I haven't updated our support site yet, I can't seem to find the time (or I just tend to procrastinate a lot?) Argh! I don't like this! *Goldi??? You're getting lazy! That's bad!* I know, I know! I'm not liking it either... but it's just that my body is overpowering my will now... lagi na lang akong tinatamad. Oh Lord God, please help me...

I'll make some reflections later. This gets on my job's way. *Kung ano ano kasing pinaggagagawa mo Goldi eh, di mo muna unahin yang trabaho mo... talaga naman!* Opo. opo...

I'll get to work muna. I'll finish everything first para tuloy tuloy to. There are some more important things that needs to be done first. Kaya kayo, wag nyong sanayin ang sarili nyo sa manyana habit, o yung puro mamaya na.

*Sinabi nang mamaya na yan eh... /:)*

opo.

About This Blog
I don't intend this to be my life's chronicles but I might write some of my experiences here. Even so, everything that's written in here are either products of my excessive contemplation, or just plainly, pure boredom. In any case, I still try to write as sensible as possible, for what I really intend to do and I hope is achieved in every writing, is to impart or share some of the things I learn and sometimes, some struggles in life. Don't expect all seriousness in everything in here though.

In short, this blog is my outlet. My noted thoughts and reflections.

Minsan, trip ko lang din mang-asar =p

About Me: I'm a simple, idealistic but down-to-earth, & friendly person. Quiet most of the time, but friendly enough to have a nice talk (or even a hearty laugh) with anyone. "I myself no longer live, but Christ lives in me. So I live my life in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me." Galatians 2:20 NLT

Principles I live by:

"Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart." -Psalm 37:4

"If people talk negatively about you, live in such a way that no one will believe them."

"God is a God of happy endings. If you're not yet happy, it's not yet the end."

"It's not what we know but what we do that counts." -Our Daily Bread

"It is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities." -Dumbledore, Harry Potter 2

"Girls should assume that until a guy expresses interest, they're just friends." -J. Harris, Boy Meets Girl

"True love doesn't just wait; it plans." -Boy Meets Girl

"Eros will have naked bodies; friendship naked personalities." -C.S. Lewis

"Ideals are like stars; we will not succeed in touching them with our hands but by following them, as the sea faring man in the ocean, we will reach our destiny." -J. Harris, Boy Meets Girl
