Just Like That

Just like that and it's already April! 

I'm 42 just like that

But the in between of the "just like that" taught me so many lessons.

Yes, I have time today to be with you -- time that I want to enjoy just listening to my silent world.

Just like that and I realized...

Just like that, I was too busy for so many errands -- that mostly not for me but for others.

Just like that, I was occupied by many things that I love but causes me to get tired.

Just like that, I suddenly want to slow down 

Just like that, I felt that I want to distant myself to the crowd and enjoy the presence of myself alone

Just like that, I missed the company of myself, laughing in front of  tv and crying over life story of someone and I'm happy I did it again.

Just like that, I want to travel alone to some place that no one knows me. A place that I can experience to live like romans even few days.

Just like that, I want to be connected with old souls in my life -- those people who I know a simple "hi" and "hello" and everything will be the same again.

Just like that, I enjoyed the hibernation in weekend -- to rest, eat, watch, laugh and repeat.

Just like that, I decided to cut my hair by myself -- a fringe bangs and I didn't regret it.

Just like that and I'm still looking forward to rain today, yeah literally rain.

Just like that and I'm thankful for everything  whether its a past, present, or plans and even the in between of my "just like that"

Just like that - random thoughts and emotions

Hello 2023, Welcome back to me!

So happy to be back here again! After 2 years or more at last I'm back. Thank you to Sofia for helping me  in fixing my account here. I thought I will never use this blogsite again, I'm almost giving up that I will never fix this site again and will become a storage of memories na lang but thanks God talaga. Well if it's your first time to be here, I'm honestly telling you - I am not a writer and I consider informal writing like this as a therapy wherein I can freely say what is in my mind and heart, so its up to you if you will back read some of the articles I wrote or if you will still continue to read. Yeah, that is a disclaimer.

HELLO 2023

My heart is overflowing with thanksgiving to the Lord for the past year. Ang daming itinuro ng Lord sa akin, ang dami Nyang ginawa sa buhay ko, ang dami Nyang ipinaranas. And to summed it all, He is good all the time - His goodness, His faithfulness and His love never ceases.

If only I have this site fixed last year ang dami ko sigurong entry baka magsawa na kayo sa kababasa or makulitan na kayo sa kwento ko 😁😂. And since its new year - let's start with a new slate. I know and claimed that this year will be another great and blessed year. Year lang ang nagbabago pero ang Lord who is the Giver of everything never change. His faithfulness and goodness remains kahit nga hindi natin deserve, ganyan kabuti ang Panginoon. 

Few days before 2023, ako lang ba yung maraming realizations and plans? I guess almost all of us may kanya-kanyang plans and goals for 2023. Its good to have plans and goals so we know the direction that we should take. But I hope the plans and goals that you jotted down didn't cause you to be anxious or brought you stress and fear. Instead of worrying, pray that the Lord will guide you this 2023, if will ng Lord yung mga plans and goals natin then sure yun whatever it takes it will be fulfilled. Sometimes we are impatient - ang gusto kasi natin timeline natin ang masusunod and even me guilty din ako minsan sa pagiging impatient. Sometimes dahil ang akala natin naipagpray na natin at may mga ginawa tayo na steps to fulfill it ay ok na yun. Minsan because we are in ahurry and we are impatient hindi natin naririnig kung ano nga ba ang sinasabi ng Lord at ano nga ba ang gusto Nya sa mga plans or goals natin. Sometimes kasi concrete na yung plans natin tapos dadalhin at paaapprove na lang natin kay Lord, nakalimutan natin na before ng any plans natin dapat nagtanong muna tayo sa Kanya, nagconsult muna tayo. The Lord is gracious that even sometimes nga may katigasan tayo ng ulo bakit pumapabor pa din sa atin - hindi dahil magaling ka it's because sa grace ng Panginoon.

As we start this year, may learn to surrender our plans and goals to the Lord. May our heart be submissive to Him - mangyari man or hindi ng lahat ng plans at goals natin, always remember na mabuti lagi ang plans Nya for us. Sometimes we are blinded to see na mas maganda ang plans ng Lord for us kasi we are over focused sa kung anong gusto nating makita which is yun ay ang plans natin. Always remember walang gusto ang Panginoon kundi ang mga bagay na the best for us. May mga times na akala natin pinapahirapan tayo ni Lord pero ang nakakalimutan nating panghawakan ay ang kabutihan at kataparan Nya. May times na ba sa buhay mo na pinabayaan ka Nya or pinahamak ka Nya? wala di ba, at end of the rope yung akala mo walang wala na andon pa rin pala Sya. So this 2023 mas magtiwala tayo kay Lord - faithing pa rin this 2023, lumalaban ng mga pananampalataya. Don't be discouraged if ever na di mangyari ang mga plans mo according to your timeline kasi for sure mas maganda ang lahat kung mangyayari sa timeline ni Lord.

God bless us all ^_^
