on training, to be positive

This Training which has been going on for five months  has really been pushing me to my limits. I've waited for it for a year and I'm in so much hurry that it end NOW. It is ending soon and I hope the soonest I get over this, the better.

I want to start another chapter of my life already.

I've never been as tired. Emotionally, physically, mentally and even my bank account is crying.

I pray for strength.

I pray for the positivism to keep going and FINISH this.


Dear Papa G,

Help us to end 2013 and start 2014 with positive feedback of our outputs.

iloveyou.

Trainee, Gayle.

on being happy for the simple things

While we were hurdling Ortigas traffic last night, Bab and I were discussing our thoughts and prayers from the Immaculate Concepcion mass we attended separately. We usually have these serious talks when we are on the road. It maybe because during these moments that we find silence in the midst of the noise from the road hustle.

I was telling him that I am happy. I may not have everything I want but I have everything I need at the exact moment. I have nothing more to ask, I told him. And he tells me, "Ung bar na lang."

I paused for a moment and remembered the dream and HOPE of passing the bar exams. I answered, "He did not bring me to this if He will not bring me through this." I know in my heart I will have that prayer answered in His right time. I will never doubt God's plans for me. His plans are bigger than mine. And I am taking it one day at a time.

As for everyday, I know my "thank you's" will never be enough for all the blessings He has continually given me and my family.   

I don't know why all of a sudden I got this "very" serene disposition. The past weeks were getting the best of me to the point of almost giving up work and just wait for better days. But then prayer really makes miracles. I left it all to God's hands.

These days, the material things don't matter that much anymore. Simple moments make me happy. Just spending time with Bab makes me happy. And last night, letting him know my heart's contents felt great.

Me: "Pansin mo lately hindi na tayo nag-aaway?"
B: "Ungae. Bumait ka, ewan ko anong nangyari."

Papa G, thank you for keeping me through all of my life's ups and downs. This life is a miracle. I am your greatest miracle. And thank you so much for making me happy.
