"You had me at Pinky Swear."

Haha.

Just reading it makes me smile and utter the words, "I cannot believe.."

I never thought it was that long ago since he felt that way. It's weird. Haha. I was so clueless.

I have a lot of things to be thankful for. I know that. But sometimes I forget. Words like these make me get right back on track.

Love my life.

I WANT TO BE A TEACHER!

This is the mantra that I say to myself whenever I find myself overwhelmed with all the things that I have to do in the preschool and whenever homework surges in from grad school. How the hell can I have a life then?

But, I know, that if life was easy, then everybody would be happy. If studying and teaching at the same time were easy, then everybody would be doing it. It can be difficult to balance, but its relatively doable. There are times that we need to remind ourselves why we're doing what we're doing, so even if the road is hard on you, you can struggle out of it and proceed. we can't easily let go of our lifelong dream just because its hard one time.

Be stronger than you think you are. Extend more patience than you think you have. We are not perfect, there would be days when we feel weak, powerless and our temper is short, but let's not let that happen everyday of our lives. if not, what a sad life that must be to lead.

Think of what you can do not only for yourself but also for others. It's okay to plan for tomorrow, but it's not okay to let today go and not live in the present. Cos we never know when our tomorrows might end.

You Know Me Best.

God has plans for us, I believe that. But its always better than the best scenario you have imagined it to be. God knows you better. He knows you more than you know yourself apparently.. because he knows what you want even before you realize that its that particular thing that you want.

It can get confusing, since its masked by vague words and ideas. but seriously, think about it. when was the last time you bugged him about giving you something. As you wait and you wait for that moment to come, and he gives you something else, something that is so unexpected. It can be a disappointment but soon you will realize that all along, this is what you needed. And you wouldn't have given it a second thought if God did not give it to you in the first place.

Lesson of the story is, if there is one is Learn to Trust Him. He knows Best.

Cheers to my 27th year.

Most meaningful birthday present

Me on my birthday with fabulous friends!

This year, I realize that God has given me the best gift. And, he gave it to me months and months before my actual birthday! He has such impeccable timing I guess.

This gift is the GIFT OF EMPTINESS. The feeling of emptiness, being empty, makes us feel desperate to reach out for someone. Oftentimes, we reach out to him. He would never refuse your plea of help, but he would give that help in his own time. I knew it then and right now, I believe it more than ever. And this belief has gotten strong through out the months and months of questioning and of longing to get an answer. Of course I know that I would just have to learn to trust, to let go of something that I cannot control, which painstakingly I learned.

Now that I'm another year older and yes another year wiser, I really believe I've grown much more in the last few months, than in the some of my earlier years. I'm so content and happy with what I have now, with where I am right now and I honestly couldn't ask for anything else.

I love this feeling.
