Life in Motion Part I
A lot can happen in a month. A lot has happened in the past month. I don’t even know where to begin. I do know that in the past month my life has been moving at warp speed and though I try to slow down, it seems that life is always on the go. I [...]
When it’s right to say, “Indulge yourself”
Any existence deprived of freedom is a kind of death.– Gen. Michel Aoun “Freedom!” Imagine how protesters and rallyists say it, and right about now that’s how I’m saying this word. Perhaps because, for the first time in a very long time, freedom became very real to me, as though I can taste it in my mouth, [...]
Third time’s a charm?
“Familiar sight,” I told myself as I entered the Emergency room of Makati Med for a third straight time this month. The guard greets me; another one asks if I’m the patient. I go to the center aisle where the nurse assesses my condition. (In first aid, I learned this is called secondary survey). “Name?” [...]
Uncertainties
Nothing unsettles us more than uncertainties. The uncertainty of the future, of what is to become of our dreams, of what lies ahead. I admit: I am unsettled. For the first time in a long, long time, I’m suddenly faced with so many uncertanties and it’s very crippling. Do I leave my work? Will I [...]
Walking by Faith and Not by Sight
So goes 2 Corinthians 5:7. I was just reminded of this verse now that The Day draws nearer. I admit: I am prone to fear, to worry, to doubt. On my way home after a late night coffee date with Bernadette, we talked about trusting in God unreservedly, and no partiality. When you claim God’s [...]
Working for the Big boss
Just yesterday at our Wednesday bible study, we were talking about having a different perspective at work. The Bible says, “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men.” When you consider that God is your boss, you would give a hundred and one percent and [...]
Is the glass half-full or half-empty?
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. – John 10:10 The words that immediately draw me to this verse are “have life” and “abundantly”. In essence, what this verse says is that [...]
Babysitting diaries
Last Sunday, we went to Velasquez Park to babysit our cute inaanak, Han and Ike :-) We found ourselves being kids again, sliding, swinging, crawling through holes. We should cherish a happy childhood :-)
Punctuations
I’ll let the punctuations explain this week for me. [ ! ] An unexpected surprise had me jumping for joy this end of the week. All surprises work that way but this was really one GOOD surprise that I did not at all see coming. Just when I was making some plans and calculating life [...]
Run for your score!
Let me make a disclaimer first: I was prepared and ready to take my IELTS Speaking test, come what may. While I did not review for it (it’s a speaking test, and unless you recently joined a Toastmaster’s session, there would be very little preparation to do to improve one’s speaking), I did prepare the [...]
