.:: 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.

Kailangan Pa ba ng Title Nito
Haay.. nothing worthwhile to blog about. Pagka magpo-post ako, lagi akong nahihirapang mag-isip ng title. Pag nahirapan ako mag-isip ng title, ibig sabihin, hirap din akong mag-isip ng isusulat ko. Baliw no? hahahaha!

Anyway, bago ako matuluyan, eto na. I just came from a sales training. A few select from our team was trained for a new account which is sales, which is so different from customer service, and I'm one of the few. Grabe naman oh, sabi nang ayoko nga ng sales eh, eto't napunta na naman ako sa pagbebenta. Dati kasi, I'm doing sales in my previous job, nga lang, local. But I'd say, mahirap. Hindi naman talaga magiging mahirap ang sales, kung hindi sa mga hinahabol na quota at conversion rates. Actually, masaya nga sya kasi para kang nagco-commercial. You have to deliver your product to your customer in a very appealing way. At nagbabasa ka lang ng script. The hard and not so fun part is, yung aabot sa point na kailangan mo nang mambola at magsabi ng kung ano anong minsan eh hindi naman totoo para lang makabenta.

Ngayon, we're already taking calls. And we only had 3 days training, including the nesting period. Ang tindi no? Sabi ko na nga lang minsan, bahala na. Minsan nga, hindi ko na alam ang sinasabi ko pag nagtanong ang customer. Basta, yes na lang ng yes. :D

Tapos ngayon, nag-iisip akong baguhin ang layout ng blog ko. Minsan kasi, nahihirapan akong mag-isip ng isusulat dahil sa theme ng blog ko eh. Nga lang, hirap din akong mag-isip ng layout, kaya hanggang ngayon, di ko pa mapalitan. Ang iniisip ko na lng, gagawa na lng siguro ako ng bukod na blog para sa mga nangyayari lang sa buhay ko, tapos 'tong blog na to, sulatan ko lang pag gusto kong mag-reflect sa kung ano mang napag-aralan ko about God for the day. So that means, masmadalang kong maa-update ang blog na to. Wag naman sana. Mas maganda ata kung may matutuhan ka bawat araw tungkol sa Creator and Savior, at sa values na gusto nyang gawin natin. Living a Holy and acceptable life ba.

Pero maganda na rin siguro kung dito ko na lang din isulat lahat. Ah basta, bahala na.

Christmas na. Hindi ko ramdam. Christmas na, at eto na naman ako, walang boyfriend. Hindi naman ako naghahanap eh, pero masaya din naman siguro kung meron diba. Pero, ayoko ma-focus ang utak ko sa pag-iisip lang ng tungkol sa boyfriend. Nga lang kasi naman eh, parang bawat makakakita sayo, lalo na ang mga friends, tatanungin kung may boyfriend ka. At pag nalamang wala, ang tanong agad eh, "BAKIT?" Bakit? Kailangan ba yun? Minsan nga, nakaka-rindi na eh. Pero minsan nga, naiisip ko din, masaya din naman ang meron. Pero, Matthew 6:33 muna tayo dapat. And Psalms 37:4.

Galing kami kahapon ni Nina sa Divisoria eh. Namili kami ng pang-regalo. Grabe, andaming tao! Nabugbog ang katawan ko ng dahil lang sa kabubunggo sa mga taong dumadaan at sa mga dala dala nilang pinamili. Hindi rin naman nakapagtataka eh, dahil sobrang mura sa Divisoria. Minsan nga, nagtataka ko kung paano nagawa yung mga paninda e. I mean, kung iisipin mo yung pwede mong magastos sa paggawa ng mga bagay na yun, eh parang wala pa sa puhunan ang presyo nila. At nagbabayad ba ng tax ang mga gumagawa nun? Ang mura kasi talaga eh.

Si Candy, na-Dengue. Kailangan daw ng blood transfusion. Worried nga ko eh, kasi alam ko, delikado ang sakit na yun. Pakitulungan nyo naman ako, kahit sa prayer. A prayer will be a great help. Sana maka-recover na sya. Tinawagan ko ngayon lang. Palabas na pala sya bukas eh. Thank God. Hope she gets well soon.

Mamaya naman, me gimik kami ng mga classmate ko nung college sa TUP Manila. Parang reunion ba. Alanganin nga eh, kasi may pasok ako kinabukasan ng maaga. Tapos after ng pasok ko bukas, Christmas Party naman ng company namin. Hay naku, kayanin ko kaya ito? Di bale, ngayon lang naman to eh. Buti na lang, rest day ko sa Monday.

I just wish I can write something about God naman here, ulit. Medyo I'm becoming spiritually down na naman ngayon eh. Please pray for me in that particular area of my life din ha. I mean, my spiritual life. Pabago bago talaga ang faith ko... Parang shifting sand.

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.

About Me

Hobbies & Interests: Jesus, music, books, journals, internet, computers, tech stuff, gadgets * sound tripping, singing, playing musical instruments (I know guitar and flute recorder, I just wish I can play them well), watching movie with a tub of popcorn drizzled with melted butter (yum!), reading * observing, pondering, reflecting, learning * laughing or making people laugh (though I'm not good at it) and laugh with them, make people smile, or just listen to their stories. 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.

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
