dancing queen

Last night I had a blast! I was asked to lead the project in bar hosting for Metro Society's Anniversary Party. Oh, it was soooo fun. Everyone loved the drinks and cocktails we prepared. Plus, I get to go dancing! I realize...guys in corporate suits - dancing - oh, they look so cute! There were lots of couples dancing too....*sigh* *sigh*

Partying with Manila's finest, lots of Amarula Cream, lots of dancing - the perks of my job - suddenly, I'm having fun! =)

Do the hustle!

milenyo!

Driving to work on this bleak Friday morning....what a sad picture. Metro Manila in total disaster. I said a prayer. God will provide.

ESFJ - Erica Sulit, Friend of Jesus =) Hehe...beat that!

waiting for wednesday....

this is my own space here in the office. It's so clean, I love it! Great ideas, concepts, plans, strategies - all from the mind of the person who occupies this small cubicle.... =)

It's going to be a great week, I can feel the excitement! Yey! =)

Today, I can say.... I love my job! =)

'nuff said.

September 23 marks the first day of this year's Ramadan. The ninth month of the Islamic calendar, Ramadan is considered a month of blessing - and is celebrated by prayer, fasting, and charity. Ramadan emphasizes the importance of self-sacrifice and devotion to Allah (God). Sawn, or fasting is practiced to remind everyone of the suffering of the poor, to practice self-control, and to clean the body and mind.

I promised a Muslim friend that I will be celebrating Ramadan with him this year - minus some traditions that I don't really practice. I started three weeks earlier too. I have 3 intentions that I am praying for and I have made some "sacrifices" for Him to see how serious I am. Hear me, Oh Lord! I know that my God is faithful and He will grant the desires of my heart =)

* Note: September 23 is a special day for me too! guess why... :)

*sigh*

Ooh, ooh, child
Things are gonna get easier
Ooh, ooh, child
Things'll get brighter

Some day
We'll put it together and we'll get it all done
Some day
When your head is much lighter, yeah
Some day, yeah
We'll walk in the rays of a beautiful sun, yes, we will
Some day
When the world is much brighter .....

kid fears

Secret staircase, running high
You had a hiding place
Secret staircase, running low
But they all know, now you're inside

Today, I was once again reminded of the importance of being a responsible adult. Sometimes, when I look back and recall all the things I've been through, I can't help but feel.....I don't know...uhhhmmmm.....sad? happy? relieved? When you realize that no significant change took place, sometimes you wonder if it's all worth it. You wonder if all the tears, the sacrifices, the pain - all the effort - did it even matter? I really can't say.

Change of perspective. Maybe that's all I need. Life is good and I have many things to be thankful for. This too shall pass.....some piano music will do the trick!

And a feeling of sadness comes o'er me
That my soul cannot resist,
A feeling of sadness and longing,
That is not akin to pain,
And resembles sorrow only
As the mist resembles the rain.
Come, read to me some poem,
Some simple and heartfelt lay,
That shall soothe this restless feeling,
And banish the thoughts of day....

that's all

4 days in the beautiful city of Dumaguete! I love it!


Good food, great adventures, good friends...what more can you ask for? =)

all for you

no coffee for 30 days...will i survive? hmmm.... But that's not to say that I won't hang out in my favorite coffee shop anymore. I can always order tea....or water. Yup, water's good. =)

I just got back from my 4-day Dumaguete trip! Oh, it was so fun. ATVs, dolphins (just within my reach), and snorkeling in Apo Island. I felt God's love through all His amazing creations. We are so blessed! I'll post the pictures as soon as I get them from my friends. In the meantime, here's a picture of me ATTEMPTING to play the piano again. My goodness! The last time I played the piano was in 6th grade....lots of work to be done!

damn...

I am so emotional lately. Here I am crying my eyes out because Denny died! =( Sad, sad, sad.

"And now, I have this heart that beats, that works. I get to be like everybody else, I get to make my own decisions, have my own life, do whatever damn hell I choose.

Now here's the good part, so you listen close. What I choose is YOU. You're who I wanna wake up with and go to bed with, and do everything in between with. I get a choice now. I get to choose. I choose YOU."

Oh, if only things like these happen in real life....

sullen days

Flowers for you, on this lovely evening
Though they have no words they share my feelings...

The last couple of days....oh, it was soooo bad! I lost my wallet - with all the pictures, IDs, atm cards, cash. Then I spent 8 hours taking care of my replacement IDs. Waiting in government offices here in Manila can be depressing sometimes. Plus...sun's up. I think it's 32 degrees out there. Whew! Thank God that there are still things I look forward to...like coming home and finding 24 yellow roses - all for me! =) And talking on the phone with my lovey, no less.
This day, I was told some quite depressing news. Though I told myself not to be affected, I can't help but think about it. God has always been faithful. I claim, in Jesus' name, victory over this situation. I believe in His goodness and I trust His will.

Okay, enough of that. I'm stuck here in the office and there's work to be done so I gotta go and end this post.

Look at the stars,
Look how they shine for you,
And everything you do
Yeah, they were all yellow....

yahoo!

*sigh*

It's you
Nobody has to tell me so
It's you, it's you,
You're the angel sent from heaven above
It's you, nobody has to tell me so
It's you,
You're the angel sent from heaven above...for me

ain't no river wild enough

sometimes, i can actually believe that being in a long distance relationship is a blessing. no long nights, no eating a lot (no reason to diet and spend long hours of workout), more time to do your own thing, stay up late in the office.....but really, it sucks and it gets pretty lonely. thank God for technology and how it keeps people like me connected to my lovey. but thinking about it, technology only serves as our gateway to keeping in touch...what really keeps us together is the fact that we want things to work out. we believe in the goodness of what we have...the love that is there to share, and that beautiful promise of a future together.

now...this could be fun.... =)
