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.

Post Christmas Happenings
Just came from Star City. Still Feeling a little tired from long hours of standing waiting in the line for our turn on a ride. The theme park was so packed with people. We even saw a lot of kids crying while being carried by the security guard to the reception. They're lost.
I started this day, of course, with going to church. It's the Lord's day and it has become the family's habit to go to church every Sunday. My week won't be complete without it. And besides, it really helps strengthen my spiritual self, and I get to mingle with people of my same faith and belief. Nga lang, late na naman ako :(. Kakainis nga eh. I can come to work early, and I'm even afraid of being late, but I seem to be so lax about my lack of time discipline during my weekly meeting with God's family. Makes me feel guilty always, but the thing is, I'm not even doing something to correct it. Well, since new year is near, I'm already thinking and organizing the resolutions I'd be making for the coming year, and one them is to have discipline in everything. I just hope I'd be able to do it.
After the service, I decided to commit my time in teaching in Sunday School again. It's been quite a long time since I took a rest in ministry, which I shouldn't have done in the first place. I joined the meeting and volunteered myself to take over the teens since they don't have someone to teach them now because their former teacher will be leaving. Also, this is an opportunity for me not only to get back into ministry again, but also to share what I know with the kids. I know this is a great responsibility but, I have already prepared myself for it (hope so) and I chose to take it, so go for it. :)
I also decided to join the ensemble in CCI naman. Another ministry. This one naman is singing. I used to be a part of the choir din kasi when I was still a bum. I joined because it feels great to sing for the Lord too. :) I enjoy doing it. Besides, our choir director at our church before invited me to join in. I was just hesitant at first because I don't know if I'd be able to give my commitment. But now, I guess I'd be able to squeeze it somehow in my schedule. Maganda rin naman pati syang stress reliever. :)
My siblings wanted to watch a movie so we went straight to Ayala malls after the meeting. There we watched Enteng Kabisote ni Vic Sotto. It's Filipino Film Fest so all the movies being shown are Pinoy. Maganda rin naman yung movie. After that, nagyaya naman sila to Star City. On our way outside the mall, I saw someone unexpected. I was so overwhelmed when I saw Ina Magenta in the movie Enteng Kabisote in the flesh. She, G. Toengi, just passed beside me. You won't notice her at first kasi she's dressed to blend in with the crowd and she looks like she's in a hurry and she's tagging a friend along. Cute nya in person. Hindi kataasan, but she's indeed sexy. Slim.
We arrived at Star City at around 7pm ata yun. I got a ride-all-you-can pass for all of us. Grabe, andaming tao. Hindi namin nasakyan lahat dahil mahahaba ang pila. Ubos oras na, ngawit ka pa sa kakatayo. Pero okay lang din. Kahit paano nag-enjoy naman kami.
I can't help but remember some of the memories I've had in that place last year. My folks spent their Christmas with my grandies in the province, and I having work, wasn't able to go with them. However I have my cousin Aireen with me that time and so we just went on to some gimiks with her boyfriend to at least enjoy the holiday. We went then to Star City, Aireen with her boyfriend, and me then with my "now" X (alam nyo na naman siguro yan no). La lang. It's one of those "getting-to-know" dates pa lang namin kasi. *Nya nya, nya nya nya.. goldi's becoming mushy... :P* Eh sa naiisip ko eh. Minsan, I can't help pa but to tell my sister some of the details I can still remember. Mabuti nga hindi ako kinantyawan nun. I see to it naman kasi na hindi ako naging over :D. Pero kung kasama namin sina Aireen, malamang unang banggit ko pa lang, tinukso na ko ng mga yon. Bakit naman kasi kailangan pang maalala yun. Haaay... Those were the days. :) Parang kailan lang...
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.
