I remember when Mom would prepare my lunchbox and upon reaching our classroom, there goes grade school politics and trading my food in exchange for marshmallows.  he he! Until now, this soft and fluffy junk food is still my favorite. It's best when paired with hot choco, coffee, ice cream and cakes especially on rainy days like these. Craving for those choco twisted ones right now.

Speaking of grade school days, Wave 89.1  is currently playing 80's - 90's songs. Perfect during our not so long ago field demo days! LOL

Faith Will Bring Me There

Don't aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally.

When this year entered, I've been working on my plans of trying my luck abroad. Singapore has been my target country, a place where I can start a good career path again, a place not too far from Manila so I can always go home whenever I missed my family and friends. A destination where I can really see myself. Canada is always right next to it, being a place where most of my relatives are citizens. But, I'm this person who takes myself anywhere I want, on my own. Personal fulfillment is my reason behind it and I'm just not used to asking favors.

DM's and I had a short conversation about this today. It is inevitable that we will soon have our own family, God willing. Future responsibilities are on hand, justifying why we really need to set our goals starting today. Trying to live independently now is my way of putting my plans into practice. Not later than two years, I'm sure our lives will greatly change. Soon, a married couple.

However, my future plans are becoming quite hazy now. Just when everything are vivid and almost settled, I was given a very good offer by our Company Director in my present job. Stepping up in my career ladder. An offer you cannot easily decline and something which will really bring you somewhere. Almost a perfect package, in short. I've been holding on to myself ever since this good news arrived. Humbled. The surreal feeling is still here, still trying to contain it.

Amidst this situation, I cannot help but think and ask myself as I look at the heavens, how can I gain a clear mind of what to pursue? The final decision is in my hands and hoping by that time, these uncertainties will be replaced by a hundred percent undoubting heart.

Thy will be done, Lord..

Jealousy

Jealousy is simply and clearly the fear that you do not have value.  Jealousy scans for evidence to prove the point - that others will be preferred and rewarded more than you.  There is only one alternative - self-value.  If you cannot love yourself, you will not believe that you are loved.  You will always think it's a mistake or luck.  Take your eyes off others and turn the scanner within.  Find the seeds of your jealousy, clear the old voices and experiences.  Put all the energy into building your personal and emotional security.  Then you will be the one others envy, and you can remember the pain and reach out to them.

NBA Finals 2010

Is it too late to create a post on this? Of course NOT!

Hailed as the 2010 NBA Champions, Los Angeles Lakers played amazing and heart pounding games during the finals. Pau Gasol and Ron Artest have been both brilliant. Kobe Bryant did maintain very good statistics since play offs but surely won't get the MVP title if not for his encouraging team. Credit is indeed due to all the members of the Lakers team.

Game 7 is what Lakers fans really waited for. I'm guilty for screaming too loud at our  office pantry during the last 5 minutes while bullying Boston fans. he he!

Kobe's really admirable for not getting low even if from the beginning, things don't  happen the way he wanted it to be. He clearly defined the true spirit of sportsmanship. Now, may I just share that one KB24 fanatic is not just happy for their victory but because I'll be awarding him the promised Nike shirt. It's supposed to be that bloody red one but I can't find it. Need to expand my search tools.

Mind checking this Yellow KB?

I find these items cute, too. Click here.

I can see SOMEONE smiling now!

The hours I spend with you I look upon as sort of perfumed garden, a dim twilight, and a fountain singing to it. You and you alone make me feel that I am alive. Other men it is said have seen angels, but I have seen thee and thou art enough.
