i am a bit disappointed of myself of not being able to fulfill my promise. last h0ly week, i vowed for a 40day fasting but sad to say, it only lasted for a week because i was attacked by my hyper acidity. i was trying to fight it and pushed myself a little further but to my dismay, the pain worsen. so i just got a go signal from Him. it was during those times of struggles, that I asked God if he wanted me to continue on and asked for signs. and when He answered my prayers, not only did i lose 4 lbs and suffered pain and vomiting, i also had trouble fitting my clothes. :D it could have been a good sign if my goal was to lose those extra fats but seems like a not so good one for someone fasting for healing.
but looking back, it was also during that week that i felt freedom. i took one last shot of my insanity then slammed the door behind me leaving the past, the pain, the hurt, the hope, the love and even the memories. now i am free. all along i was holding on to something not mine anymore. all along i was trying to work out things my way. i told God i trusted Him but deep inside i was still keeping some of the pieces. so it crushed me at some point. but now i am back. picking up myself again. putting up together what's left of me. the little piece of self-respect and self-worth but with the abundant love i receive from family and friends.
everything was all worth it. even the most stupid things i did make sense. the experience pruned me to be a stronger person. it helped me realize that i am capable of giving such great love without fear and hesitations. it opened my eyes to the wonderful plan God has in stored for me. indeed its true that when God closes the door, He opens the roof for more blessings.
it was already the end of that cycle of my life and i have to prepare myself for something much greater. i am very much excited to witness God's plans unfolding before my very eyes.

i am inspired by these lines shared by different people. i just hope that anyone who gets to read this post, will somehow be inspired as well. we all have burdens to carry and problems to face in our journey but all these will come to pass and we will soon realize that we are better and stronger persons than before.
If there is a way, I will find one…
If there is none, I will make one…

Just Sail
As we sail through life,
don’t avoid storms and rough waters.
Just let it pass.
Just Sail.
Always remember,
Calm seas never make skillful sailors.
Follow Your Dream
Follow your dream…
Take one step at a time and don’t settle for less.
Just continue to climb.
Follow your dream…
If you stumble, don’t stop and lose sight of your goal.
Press to the top.
For only on top can we see the whole view
Can we see what we’ve done and what we can do
Can we then have the vision to seek something new
Press on.
Follow your dream.
Push Yourself Forward
Arrow goes forward only after pulling in to backward.
Bullet goes forward only after pressing the trigger backward.
Every human being will get happy.
Only after facing the difficulties in their life path…
So do not be afraid to face your difficulties.
They will push you forward.
Blossom Like A Flower
The realization of happiness happens only after experience of pain.
If we desire to blossom like a flower in the garden of life,
Then we must learn the art of adjusting our life with the thorns!
If there is a way, I will find one…
If there is none, I will make one…
Being Strong
The harder the knocks you go through in life, the more you learn and put them to use in the future!
Do not be discouraged by setbacks and failures…! They make you strong.
Answer One Question
In life, answer to only one question matters!
Have you chosen a course that leads to a destination which matters most to you?
Where You Take Life
Over the same sea, on the same winds;
A ship sails in one direction, another in opposite.
It is not the wind that decides which direction the ship goes;
Its the sails; how they are tied and how they are maneauvered.
Similarly, it is not fate that decides where your life is going;
It is all about how you take life and where you take it to.
Try Life
Smooth roads never make good drivers.
Smooth sea never makes good sailors.
Clear skies never make good pilots.
Problem free life never makes a strong person.
Be strong enough to accept the challenges of life.
Don’t ask life, ‘Why me?’. Instead say, ‘Try me!’

a promise
I Promise Myself
To be so strong that nothing can disturb my peace of mind.

To make all my friends feel that there is something worthwhile in them.
To look at the sunny side of everything and make my optimism come true.
To think only of the best, to work only for the best and expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as I am about my own.
To forget the mistakes of the past and press on the greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful expression at all times and give a smile to every living creature I meet.
To give so much time in improving myself that I have no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
To think well of myself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud words, but in great deeds.
To live in the faith that the whole world in on my side, so long as I am true to the best in me.

spending time with me
it has been a long weekend due to the Holy week holiday. if i was in cebu, i could have busied myself planning my vacation on the beach with my family but of course that would be after our annual "panata" of the bisita iglesia. but since i am in singapore and away from them, i decided to spend my holy week differently. gladly, i was still able to do my annual bisita iglesia but instead of going to the beach or going out after, i stayed at home. i can hardly believe it that i spent two days inside the house knowing the laagan in me. but i did it and that what matters to me now. it is a great accomplishment i must say because before i could only stay long inside the house if i'm sick but if i'm not, i'm out there having fun or looking for something else to do.
i promised myself last thursday that i will be spending the holy week with God and me. i never thought it felt so good; being alone in the house, surfing the net for reflections and inspiring articles, tinkering my new laptop, writing in my journal, talking to myself and to my God...wow, it was amazing! there were a few invitations from friends to go out somewhere but i don't want to end my reflective mode just like that. (i'll make it up to you guys, promise!)
in my solitude, i realized and learned a lot of things. i've come to know how powerful our thoughts are and how powerful we human beings are. so powerful that we can create our destiny and attract the things we like the most in our lives. what we should do is just think positively and believe that the things we want and think of will really happen. that is the law of attraction. this is just a teeny-weeny part of what i learned in my search for healing. but it does not stop there because it will always be an on-going process until i can say to myself that "i made it through the storm". on the otherhand, i had fun processing my thoughts. i created wonderful thoughts and goals inside my head that sometimes im having a hard time believing it but according to the law, one must believe for it to happen. now, i am all focused on this thought and i believe this will happen. maybe not so soon but i know it will.
in our busy lives nowadays, we tend to forget to really spend some quiet time with ourselves. we can think of spending time with our family and friends but the least would be with ourselves...alone. with what i've experienced these past two days, i wanted to do this "quality time with me" every month or maybe every week. it would be the best time to think, rethink and dumb-think of our lives, our goals and what we really want. it is a time where we can assess ourselves and hear what God is really telling us. it is a time to reconnect with our souls and just enjoy the blessings around us.

reflective mode
i wanted to start my holy week experience here in Singapore in a very reflective mode. tonight i will be attending the bisita iglesia organized by Singles for Christ. i am excited because we will be visiting and praying to 7 different churches together with other SFCs. i am grateful that my unit head offered her slot to me because i was again a late registrant. but since, many would still want to join the activity, the registration was extended.wohooo, praise God!
this may not be a better week for me but i wanted to turn my Good Friday to an Easter Sunday. that means, inspite of the trials and pains i have experienced, i will continue to do something good to others and to myself. i will take this opportunity to reflect on my life; my pain, my sufferings, my thoughts, my achievements, and my goals. i wanted to spend this week with God. i wanted to feel His overflowing love. i wanted to reflect on Christ's suffering on the cross and His obedience to His Father. this may seem late for the holy week, but they say, better late than never; i wanted to start fasting too.
way back in cebu, at this time of the year, i was very religious in my fasting. i was so in love with God that i offered to Him my craving for food and softdrinks. there was also a time when i was praying for something and i fasted for all colored drinks and only drank water. it was hard because i was used to drinking iced tea and juices. but nevertheless, i've survived! i have not been drinking softdrinks for almost three years now and i don't have any plan to try drinking it again. and today, i wanted to start fasting again. i know it's already Holy Thursday but i wouldn't care much as long as i could start it. i remember i promised myself to fast from chocolates, other sweets, junk foods and meat but i failed. maybe because my main reason for fasting such was to lose weight. i totally forgot what fasting is really for.
now, i am convinced, decided and convicted to start my fasting (notice, how many times i have repeated this.) i will start with a one day meal fast. i will only eat dinner at 5 or 6pm. i will avoid meat and oily foods. i will only eat veggies and fish and drink fresh juices and water. looks difficult for me but i am offering this to God so nothing is impossible (i just hope that my hyperacidity won't attack me.)
i don't have any idea yet when to end my fasting but hopefully not on easter sunday. i am praying for a 40days fasting...God enlighten me. i am doing this fasting by the way, for my healing. i wanted to eliminate all the toxics inside my body. not only physical toxics but emotional and mental as well. this month was just so surprising for me and i felt i have to do something for me to get over it. changing routines and activities helps but i felt like there's much more that i need to do. this fasting will be for my redemption from this emotional bondage, for my spiritual renewal and for my relationship with God. i think this will be the best thing for me to do. God has been so great and understanding with me. He lead me to the way where i could find answers to my questions. i know this path that i am taking will not be all easy but i have a God greater than my suffering and pain so i remain faithful.
may we take time to reflect on our lives and Jesus' love this Holy Week. fasting is not yet too late. you can fast anytime you want but most importantly, prayer should be its partner.
have a blessed and meaningful Holy Week everyone!

today seems not one of my better days. i slept with a wandering mind which brought me to some unusual dreams. i woke up with a heavy heart, confused of what to think and what to feel. i don't know, i can't exactly figure out why.
my conversation with ate che somehow gave me peace. she is always there to listen to me because we share the same pain and realizations. she is someone who inspires me to move on and let go. though she has her own questions and fears but she never fails to console me and share to me her thoughts.
as for me, i still have this thought why this painful experience has to happen. why this sudden?why is it so unfair?why it has to end?and i can go on with a lot of questions inside my head but i know i will never find the answer on my own. i realized that this has to happen to complete the plans God has in stored for me. i know i have to go through this pain for me to fully appreciate what has yet to come. this may seem difficult but God assured me of His loving presence. sometimes i question Him but He never complains, instead He assures me more. its hard. i am struggling everyday to survive this agony. sometimes its even harder to trust God completely because my human weaknesses is always at hand. but He said that His grace is unfailing and He will heal me as long as i offer to Him all the pieces. as long as i surrender to Him my brokenness and pain. as long as i surrender to Him my fears and doubts.
God's love is just so great and unfathomable. most of the times its hard to understand and accept His ways but we should always know by heart that all His plans are better than ours. that all the trials we have are His ways of strengthening us and preparing us for something greater. He has great promises for each one of us and He will fulfill His promise as long as we remain faithful to Him.

what makes you happy
It isn’t what you have,
or who you are,
or where you are,
or what you are doing,
or what you are going to do,
that makes you happy or unhappy.
Its what you think about.
or who you are,
or where you are,
or what you are doing,
or what you are going to do,
that makes you happy or unhappy.
Its what you think about.

another better day for me today. it feels good to receive such beautiful emails from friends. everyday i am getting better and everyday i am loving myself more. slowly, God is revealing His purpose why such painful experience has to happen.
i can't seem to clearly put into words what i am feeling. at a certain point, my mind is occupied with negative thoughts and blast from the past but God's grace is just so great and it gave me the peace that i need. all this time, all He wanted from me was to give Him my heart and offer to Him my pain and brokenness. but i was holding it for quite awhile not realizing that i am risking myself for more pain and hurt. until i decided to open my heart for His grace to empower me. it was then i felt the peace that i needed.

i can't exactly explain what i'm feelin' right now.
i feel better.
i feel like crying not because of pain but because of joy.
slowly i am moving on.
i am so much thankful for my friends who started my day right. (thanks to rachel and ate weng)
it feels amazing that inspite of the pain, i am still able to help and inspire others.
all the while i thought i will be doomed forever in this rollercoaster emotions but i was wrong.
everything really happens for a reason.
there are a lot of things we don't understand when we are in pain but one thing is sure, there's always a rainbow after the rain.
i feel so blessed with all the great friends i have who showed their care in their own little ways.
i am happy today and i don't want to forget this day.
it feels good to be happy and everyone deserves to be happy.

hope =)
If you can look at the sunset and smile, then you still have hope…
If you can find beauty in the colors of a small flower, then you still have hope…
If you can find pleasure in the movement of a butterfly, then you still have hope…
If the smile of a child can still warm your heart, then you still have hope…
If you can find beauty in the colors of a small flower, then you still have hope…
If you can find pleasure in the movement of a butterfly, then you still have hope…
If the smile of a child can still warm your heart, then you still have hope…
If you can see the good in other people, then you still have hope…
If the rain breaking on a roof top can still lull you to sleep, then you still have hope…
If the sight of a rainbow still makes you stop and stare in wonder, then you still have hope…
If the soft fur of a favored pet still feels pleasant under your fingertips, then you still have hope…
If you meet new people with a trace of excitement and optimism, then you still have hope…
If you give people the benefit of a doubt, then you still have hope…
If you still offer your hand in friendship to others that have touched your life, then you still have hope…
If receiving an unexpected card or letter still brings a pleasant surprise, then you still have hope…
If the suffering of others still fills you with pain and frustration, then you still have hope…
If you refuse to let a friendship die, or accept that it must end, then you still have hope…
If you look forward to a time or place of quiet and reflection, then you still have hope…
If you still buy the ornaments, put up the Christmas tree or cook the turkey, then you still have hope…
If you still watch love stories or want the endings to be happy, then you still have hope…
If you can look to the past and smile, then you still have hope….
If, when faced with the bad, when told everything is futile, you can still look up and end the conversation with the phrase… yeah….BUT.. Then you still have hope…
Hope is such a marvelous thing. It bends, it twists, it sometimes hides, but rarely does it break… It sustains us when nothing else can… It gives us reason to continue and courage to move ahead, when we tell ourselves we’d rather give in…
Hope puts a smile on our face when the heart cannot manage… Hope puts our feet on the path when our eyes cannot see it… Hope moves us to act when our souls are confused of the direction….
Hope is a wonderful thing, something to be cherished and nurtured, and something that will refresh us in return… And it can be found in each of us, and it can bring light into the darkest of places…
Never lose hope…
conversations inside my head
when will this end?
when you've completely let go of yourself
when will i know?
when you start your day with a smile
but depression is making a come back
don't you trust me enough?
don't you have faith in me?
i trust you...
i have faith in you...
so what are you afraid of?
i don't know
i know you love me and that should be enough
but...
if you trust me, there are no 'buts' and 'what ifs'
i just want all these to end
it will, just trust me
please grant me the grace to endure this pain
grace, i have given you ever since
just open your heart
you don't have control over this anymore
just let me be
i love you ever since
i know and i'm sorry
i will let you be
i will let go
i will hold on to you
i will trust you completely
when you've completely let go of yourself
when will i know?
when you start your day with a smile
but depression is making a come back
don't you trust me enough?
don't you have faith in me?
i trust you...
i have faith in you...
so what are you afraid of?
i don't know
i know you love me and that should be enough
but...
if you trust me, there are no 'buts' and 'what ifs'
i just want all these to end
it will, just trust me
please grant me the grace to endure this pain
grace, i have given you ever since
just open your heart
you don't have control over this anymore
just let me be
i love you ever since
i know and i'm sorry
i will let you be
i will let go
i will hold on to you
i will trust you completely

the cry of my heart
All that I am, all that I have
I lay them down before you, oh Lord
All my regrets, all my acclaims
The joy and the pain, I'm making them yours
Lord, I offer my life to you
Everything I've been through
Use it for your glory
Lord I offer my days to you
Lifting my praise to you
As a pleasing sacrifice
Lord I offer you my life
Things in the past, things yet unseen
Wishes and dreams that are yet to come true
All of my heart, all of my praise
My heart and my hands are lifted to you
What can we give
That you have not given?
And what do we have
That is not already yours?
All we possess
Are these lives we're living
That's what we give to you, Lord

you make me long for you. you make me desire for you. you make me crave for you. you make me cry. you make me smile. you make me want to pour out my soul to you. you make me rest. you promised me a good future. you strengthened me. you blessed me. you gave me hope. you want me to trust you with all my heart. you love me unconditionally.
you are my refuge. you are my hero. you are my strength. you are my defender. you are my mostest bestfriend. you are my peace. you are my everything and i am nothing without you. in you nothing is impossible.
keep on surprising me God! =)
everyday, you make your presence so vivid in my life. every single minute, you embrace me with so much love. every morning, you wake me up with a beautiful sunshine even if its raining outside. everywhere, i see your face.
you make me long for you. you make me desire for you. you make me crave for you. you make me cry. you make me smile. you make me want to pour out my soul to you. you make me rest. you promised me a good future. you strengthened me. you blessed me. you gave me hope. you want me to trust you with all my heart. you love me unconditionally.
you are my refuge. you are my hero. you are my strength. you are my defender. you are my mostest bestfriend. you are my peace. you are my everything and i am nothing without you. in you nothing is impossible.
keep on surprising me God! =)

love from above
i can't contain the love i am feeling right now. the kind of love so unconditional and so true. the kind of love that we usually take for granted. the love that saved us. and the only love that is giving us peace.
awhile ago, i watched this short trailer from the movie "Most" in www.GodTube.com. the message of the movie is to show how great the love of God for all of us that he sacrificed his beloved son to give us hope and a life. i didn't notice that my tears were slowly flowing down my cheeks and suddenly i felt that my heart constricted. i don't know why. maybe at some point i was guilty of taking his love for granted but at some point, i was full of joy knowing how unconditional his love is for me. grabe, you are so amazing Lord!
i could not ask for more. You are enough for me!

home searching
i never thought finding a place to stay here in singapore is that difficult. i mean aside from surfing the net for ads, negotiating with agents and searching the location is even harder. for heaven's sake, we are all at work and won't be available anytime to view the house we want to check and before we even know it, somebody else took it already. it pisses me off big time.
how i wish, i don't have to go through this hell and just stay in my comfort zone. but how would i ever know if i can be very independent if i won't at least try? i used to tell myself back home that i am the independent type of girl but as i evaluate myself right now, there are a lot of things that i am having a hard time letting go. for one, my i-wanna-try-to-forget-relationship and next is my first home here. adjusting to changes is a lot, more so adjusting to new housemates. maybe i was just used to the kind of home arrangement we have, my room and our set-up. a new house would mean a whole lot of adjusting.
but aside from this rant, i am also excited to stay in this new place with new peeps around me. we are still on the verge of finding this place that we will soon call home but i think we're not even close to it yet. more house searching on the net, agent negotiation, and house viewing to come. i guess we will be spending our weekends at home waiting for some agent's call.
it will be another brand new start for all of us. a brand new house. a brand new friendship. and brand new life to start with. i hope this home searching will be all worthwhile.

don't break
Don’t BreakLife is a mixture of good times and bad times,
happy moments and unhappy moments.
The next time you are experiencing
one of those bad times or unhappy moments,
Try your best not to let the situation get the best of you.
If the going gets tough and you are at your breaking point; show resilence.
Bend; But don’t break!
