It breaks your heart...

...when people you know became people you knew, when you can walk right past someone as if they were never a H U G E part of your life. you used to be able to talk for hours on the phone and now you can't even look each other in the eye. It completely breaks your heart to know good things change... and there's nothing you can do.


>Oo nga naman.. Agree ^^, <

I feel the need to repost!

this is quoted from jaja's post (july 31, 2007-Where do broken hearts go) in her blog Posh and Orange:

"...a heart should be wise, although broken. It should know where and who to run to when it has been let down. It should know what to desire when it has been left bleeding. It should not make the easy choice of being bitter.

The broken heart should go back home. In the palm of the One who created hearts in the first place. "

The weekend that was

Our internet connection's awful. It would start with strong connection, fast and okay then less than an hour later, it would become slow to intolerably slow to no connection at all!

Last Sunday, mom left for Pampangga. A day's outing with her friends. Since she left early and has mentioned that she'll be home late, she left me in-charged with the cooking. I am so delighted!

For lunch, my sister and I had macaroni & cheese, with hashbrown on the sides. The hashbrown was a disaster though. Nadurog! We end up spooning it. Haha. Since, I'm loving the kitchen, I decided to make Minatamis na Saba with ice and Evap for merienda.

Gelo, who's coming all the way from Manila volunteered to bring the sago and asked me to wait for him before I bought banana's and the veggies for the dinner. However, he arrived 4:00 in the afternoon! I'm glad that he bought not only sago but also the sugar and milk. We started cooking the sago and at the same time, boiling the beef for our sinigang dinner on the other caserole. It wasn't the best idea to cook "sago" when in a hurry to serve merienda. It took as an hour to cook those tiny sago! We finished cooking Sinigang na Baka and Minatamis na Saging almost at the same time. It was obviously dinner time when we finished cooking.

Anyway, it's worth the effort. We enjoyed our dinner plus the minatamis we eventually ate for dessert

Romans 8:35-39 (New Living Translation)

35 Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? 36 (As the Scriptures say, “For your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep.”^[a]) 37 No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.

38 And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,^[b] neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. 39 No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Strong Woman vs Woman of Strength

A strong woman works out every day to keep her body in shape…
but a woman of strength kneels in prayer to keep her soul in shape…

A strong woman isn’t afraid of anything…
but a woman of strength shows courage in the midst of her fear…

A strong woman won’t let anyone get the best of her…
but a woman of strength gives the best of her to everyone…

A strong woman makes mistakes and avoids the same in the future…
but a woman of strength realizes life’s mistakes can also be God’s blessings and capitalizes on them…

A strong woman walks sure footedly…
but a woman of strength knows God will catch her when she falls…

A strong woman wears the look of confidence on her face…
but a woman of strength wears grace…

A strong woman has faith that she is strong enough for the journey…
but a woman of strength has faith that it is in the journey that she will become strong

Unemployed

It's the season of resignation. Just kidding. It's just that several people I know was resigning from their work (you can include me to the long list, thank you). Now that I am unemployed (for an indefinite period of time), my mom asked me the question I've been dying to avoid. "So when are you planning to apply for a new job". I just resigned. I'm still hoping that I could use my time to breathe for awhile before I land myself to a new job.

Anyway, I received an offer from my dad. And no, it isn't about going abroad. He's offering to fund whatever business I would like to start. So there. Now I'm soon to be self-employed. But ofcourse not for long, just until I learn how to manage whatever it is that I should manage. But before that, I should do market research first. This is way harder than I thought!
