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.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">HELLO 2023</span></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9cObhckFFdtdldeZlonUUJ_lHhxjuHIJAApSRIr8ovRbWORry9vbE40PBhLFkb10Q0S0LCXwIJI8e20JXHAGxh6gMtDbmM1LujWr2CH22Uai8asvIVq9u-wu26PdzmUfXYE6xgdv_kKZoEQv4hsmm438I2v7OFk2wExBjd7Vc0IbF8KGqcpQuC4Nh/s2000/blog.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="1414" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9cObhckFFdtdldeZlonUUJ_lHhxjuHIJAApSRIr8ovRbWORry9vbE40PBhLFkb10Q0S0LCXwIJI8e20JXHAGxh6gMtDbmM1LujWr2CH22Uai8asvIVq9u-wu26PdzmUfXYE6xgdv_kKZoEQv4hsmm438I2v7OFk2wExBjd7Vc0IbF8KGqcpQuC4Nh/w452-h640/blog.png" width="452" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">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.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">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. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">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.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">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.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">God bless us all ^_^</p>Outspoken Mindhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16620752435555735131noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2215509816450973050.post-20157370406128656972020-05-25T23:52:00.001+03:002020-05-25T23:57:13.230+03:00Dream Now, Travel Later<div style="text-align: justify;">
The holidays started today in the gulf. Actually we started since yesterday so its really a long weekend for us since Friday. We will be back to office on Wednesday. Usually on this season people are out of the country and travelling but due to COVID its not permitted and not really advisable to travel. I miss visiting other countries aside from my native. I love seeing God's creation and masterpieces and how He put it artistically into each country.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It will cost naman talaga money depends sa countries na pupuntahan mo but for me especially when I reached my 30s mas naappreciate ko ang experience over material things. I still shop and reward myself after working hard sa mga bagay na gusto ko but part of growing up and "maturing" siguro kaya talagang nalessen. I'm not a traveler <strike>yet </strike> though I visited several countries na din naman but not as others are doing but God's will di ba I can travel again (after this pandemic).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lately I watch more on travel vlogs and I can't help myself wishing and imagining myself being on those places that I am watching - wishful thinking :)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Just want to share you some of so many countries that I want to visit (not in order) but my number 1 is really a dream since I was a child.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have a book named "Life & Leisure" that I received as gift sa isang kaibigan ng parents ko. Imagine mga 6 or 7 years old pa lang ako ganon na ang regalo sa akin :) Most of the places don sa book are European places but Czech Republic really impressed me a lot until now. I love architecture and detailed designs never to mentioned the castle and old historical buildings. Kapag may mga intricate designs sobrang nagiging interesado ako kasi I know how much effort ang binuhos don ng gumawa. Prague lang ang maapakan ko masaya na ako :)</div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Denmark</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It won (I can't remember the year) as the happiest place in the world and from then on I became curious and read some articles about the place. Few years ago I met a Filipina who is married to a Danish. I met her through a charity fund raising when she donated a painting to me sa ginagawa kong fund raising para sa isang maysakit na bata. Through her mas nagkaroon ako ng idea about the lifestyle and living in Denmark. She told me that equality in Denmark really matters - doctor ka man or farmer pantay pantay lang ang tingin sa inyo ng society. Ranking and status does not matter if your living in that country and when you marry a Danish hindi katulad sa ibang bansa na madali mong makukuha yung citizenship, no no no, according to her hindi ganon kadali ang kumuha ng citizenship sa Denmark.</div>

I love nature and I really love to see the famous alpine village in Grindelwald Switzerland. Waking up with the view with the smells of fresh trees and flowers, hearing the sounds of the lakes while sipping coffee and doing your morning devotion. Iniisip ko pa lang super naeexcite na ako :) And how about the Swiss chocolates that everyone love!<br />

Ever since I was a child I heard a lot of stories how beautiful this country is and from then I get interested to read about it though not that much.

Its every Christian dream destination to visit the Holy Land and given a chance to visit the place I will choose during pre- winter season, the weather is not that hot and not that cold. Siguro maiiyak ako when I first land my feet especially don sa mga places na kung saan lumakad si Jesus. According to some friends na nakapunta na iba daw talaga ang feeling. God's willing talaga I can visit.<br />

I still have a lot places in my mind that I want to visit - Spain also is in my top 10 but for now yan muna :)<br />
More than material things I learned now to appreciate and treasure memories. Memories that I can keep forever in my heart and mind. I learned that travelling is not a "luxury" thing and not a waste of money. God created each country with its own beauty. Each places has its own landmarks that everyone will remember. Travelling in other countries or even in local places is really a blessing. It may sounds expensive and its really is but if you will plan and really save for it, it will all worth it. For now while there's still pandemic, let us continue to pray until this end. Let's pray for all countries and their citizens too. The Lord continue to heal the world.<br />
Keep safe, healthy, and sane! God bless us all<br />

<span style="text-align: justify;">In midst of our situation today
we are so vulnerable to all kinds of negativity. Social media feeds are filled
with news that will make us feel down— the number of positive patients of COVID
are rising, just today dito sa Qatar 929 ang new cases, frontliners are getting
sick and dying especially sa medical fields, marami na rin ang mga nagsasarang
companies at mga small businesses na walang kita, isa na ako don as M is for
MINERVA is for the meantime no transactions but God's will malapit na ulit, and
marami tayong mga kababayan na makikita or nababalitaan natin na nagugutom.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
How to stand firm during this
tough time?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Have faith and continue fighting
with it.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Pray that the Lord will continue
to strengthen you-sa lahat ng bagay na ginagawa or gagawin mo. Pray to guide
you and give you wisdom sa mga decision making mo. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
And when you pray, you should
have faith. May faith ka na lahat ng ipinagpray mo kay Lord in His perfect time
and according to His wlll ay sasagutin Nya.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Huwag mong isuko ang iyong
pananampalataya. Minsan it seems na parang impossible naman na maflaflat pa ang
curve ng COVID halos everyday nga mas dumadami. Parang sa disyerto lang sino
ang magaakala na may mabubuhay palang mga puno, halaman at bulaklak dito.
Tingnan mo rin sana na may mga gumagaling, hindi man kasing bilis ng pagdami ng
infected rate pero merong nangyayari. Sometimes kasi masyado tayong mainipin,
kapag nagpray gusto kaagad instant answer. Di ba sabi nga, as we pray unti unti
nagbabago din ang heart natin. Kaya tuloy lang sa pananalangin and hold on to
your faith.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Ilaban mo ang iyong paniniwala.
Lumaban ka ng may pananampalataya. Matatapos din ang lahat. Maaring hindi na
bumalik sa dati ang mundo pero for sure magiging normal pa din ito.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
God will flatten the curve! Pray
and have faith<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
God will send healing! Pray and
have faith<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
God will provide, He will sustain
the world! Pray and have faith.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Have you ever heard the word
"faithing"? <span style="font-size: large;"><b>Faithing = faith + fight</b></span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Faithing or Pananampalataya

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Today morning when we are heading
to office, usapang blooming naman kami. Blooming as in not the temporary
blooming ka lang today or yesterday but yung blooming meaning "peak"<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
May mga times na maririnig natin
"ang ganda nya nung bata sya" or "mas gumanda sya nung
lumaki" meron naman "mas gumaganda sya habang nagkakaedad sya"
Every person has its own beauty, hindi dahil hindi sila ka pansin pansin sa
mata mo ay hindi na sya maganda. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder nga di
ba. But do you know that there is Someone na maganda tayo sa paningin Nya? Yes
ang tingin Nya sa lahat ay maganda. <span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">Map</span>uti,
kayumanggi or maitim ka man, maganda ka sa paningin Nya; matangkad, kulang ka
man sa height, payat or chubby ka man, singkit or pango ka man, maganda ka pa
rin sa mata Nya. Ganyan si Lord sa atin, masterpiece Nya ang bawat isa sa atin
at we are perfectly and wonderfully created.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
There are times na kahit tayo sa
sarili natin we tend to compare ang ating mga sarili sa ibang tao, may iba
naman naman wala ka ng maririnig kundi "sana all". Ang iba naman
lahat na yata ay gagawin at bibilhin maging maganda lang sya sa tingin ng ibang
tao.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Uulitin ko ha:You are already
beautiful <span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">❤</span><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">️</span>Maniwala
ka man or hindi pero yun ang totoo maganda ka!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Ang bawat isa sa atin ay may
angking kagandahan pero hindi lahat ay nakakaappreciate ng ganda na meron sya.
Maaring hindi pa lang fully bloom ang ganda mo pero you have beauty. Maaring
bukas or sa mga susunod na araw mag fully bloom ka na. While waiting for that
time enjoy the beauty that you have, be joyful everyday and that joy in your
heart will surely radiates on your face.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Imagine yang mga flowers<span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">🌸</span> na yan uulan, aaraw, magwiwinter at magsusummer pero
those flowers will bloom sa itinakdang season ni Lord para mamulaklak sila.
Ganon din tayo <span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">😊</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Wait for your season, wag mong
pangunahan si Lord sa itinakda nyang season para magbloom ka.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Uulitin ko ha, maganda ka<span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">❤</span><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">️</span>
repeat after me: <b><span style="font-size: large;">I am beautiful. I am wonderfully and fearfully made by my
Creator, Lord Jesus Christ.</span></b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
God bless you<span style="font-family: "Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">❤</span><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">️</span><o:p></o:p></div>

How's your weekend guys? I hope that though we are still under quarantine, you are still able to spend your time wisely - doing some chores, crafting or relaxing on a couch while reading your favorite book or watching your favorite series.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As long as naenjoy mo yung time mo at hindi mo narinig ang sarili mo na nagreklamo ka na "gabi na naman wala na namang nangyari sa maghapon ko" then you spent your time wisely. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I enjoyed my weekend, for me "gold" ang magkaroon ng 2 days off kasi every other weekend lang ako may off ng Saturday and I'm still going to office despite of the pandemic. I know that the Lord JESUS Christ will protect me and will give me strength everyday.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So ayun na nga speaking of weekend,sinulit ko talaga. Friday I attended online worship services and bonding with my family dito sa bahay and even sa Pinas. I enjoyed my bed, nakakamiss yung you don't mind time kung anong oras kang gigising kasi wala naman pasok. Hooray talaga yun for me! So today, one of the major accomplishment ko is to clean and sanitize some of my shoes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Recently there are some posts spreading that the COVID can live on the sole of the shoes for 5 days. So what we did, we have now shoe rack near our door kung saan namin iniiwan ang mga shoes namin, so additional to that I think that sanitizing shoes can be done also at least every weekend. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I love shoes, actually namana ko yata yun kay Mommy. Lumaki ako na kung anong color ng bag ganon din ang shoes ko pero since dapat talaga mabilisan ang kilos kapag OFW ka dito, sabi ko nga time is gold , minsan kapag papasok sa office kung ano na lang maisip isuot na shoes hahaha pero make it sure naman na color coordinated pa rin.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Let me share you some of my shoes na super comfortable talaga sa paa and you can wear whether in office, casual events or any occasion (hindi po ito paid advertisement ha). May ganon talaga ako na attitude I can stick to a brand basta nagustuhan ko or nastisfied ako. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm not fond of rubber material texture shoes pero from the start na natry ko yung Dumond brand made in Brazil nagustuhan ko talaga until I met Melissa.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here's a trivia I got about Melissa:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Melissa are made from MELFLEX plastic, a patented,
hypo-allergenic, recyclable, and extremely flexible PVC. The shoes are totally
cruelty free and devoid of animal products. The Brazilian-based company is
totally rad in its recycling of 99.9% of factory water and waste, and they also
go the distance by recycling overstock styles into next season’s collection.
Even better? Melissa Shoes employees are paid above average wages and benefits.</i><o:p></o:p></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today, I clean and sanitized my Melissa shoes. So guys if you have Melissa shoes din, super easy sya linisin and low maintenance talaga.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have a 5 pairs of Melissa. Well, nabili ko lang sya lahat ng nakasale (para ano pa na nasa Procurement line ako di ba) 2 of these shoes I bought 120 QAR from its original price of QAR799. Best buys talaga di ba? :)</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here are some tips on how to clean your Melissa Shoes:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1. Get a small basin with liquid soap, brush, sponge, soft cloth (cotton), alcohol in sprayer.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2. Wet the sole but do not soak into the basin. Clean the sole using brush and water with liquid soap.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3. Check the body of the shoes to find the dirt. Usually, since glossy ang texture mejo maitim ang dirt nya na nakakapit and since glossy need ng extra care.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Mi9SvMzrIcg/XojXyEb3_UI/AAAAAAABStI/DqSQVtUm6Wcq2sTrs6dPD5Owydcr4Pz0gCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/IMG_20200404_104948.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Mi9SvMzrIcg/XojXyEb3_UI/AAAAAAABStI/DqSQVtUm6Wcq2sTrs6dPD5Owydcr4Pz0gCLcBGAsYHQ/s400/IMG_20200404_104948.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
4. Use a sponge or cloth on the body of the shoes. Wipe it until the dirt is gone.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
5. Wipe it with dry cotton cloth. Its important na soft and cotton to avoid scratches.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
6. For the inside, yung small brush like old tooth brush lang then clean the lining part. If you will notice yun talaga yung sinisingitan ng mga dumi. You will see it visibly talaga yung mga natanggal na dumio.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Here's a bible verse that I want to leave you that you can meditate:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>“The one who says he resides in God ought himself to walk
just as Jesus walked.”<o:p></o:p></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b> I JOHN 2:6</b></span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">When we walk with the Lord we draw closer to the Lord with
all our heart. He becomes our focus. Our hearts longs for Him. Our heart seeks
His presence. Our desire to have fellowship with Christ and be like Him will
grow while our worldly desires will decrease.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
When people heard the word
"middle east" the other counterpart word that comes to others is
"desert" Try to picture on your mind how does the deserted country
looks like - puro buhangin lang, mainit, walang masyadong buildings at walang
nabubuhay na mga halaman. Well ganon yung napipicture sa isip ko almost 14
years ago bago ako pumunta dito sa Qatar. Stepping out on my comfort zone -
being away sa place na nakasanayan mo, people, friends and most especially
family na ever since namulat ka sa mundo kasama mo na. Far away from those
"independent" life before they become OFW, hindi ako talaga ganon,
hindi ako katulad ng iba na naexperienced magwork away from home or magdorm man
lang. In short 14 years ago I am totally out on my comfort zone. The only hope
I have that time is that <b>EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE</b>, its not because of the
courage I have in me but its because I entrusted everything to Jesus. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Back to what you have in mind
when you picture out the desert, ako din akala ko talaga walang puno or halaman
dito sa Qatar. Well, actually 14 years ago hindi pa naman talaga ganong kadami
ang mga trees and plants dito mostly talaga buildings lang talaga. And if may
mga halaman man talagang pricey sya pero buti na lang dahil marami ng supply
now, the law of supply and demand applies on its price na.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I love greens - trees, plants,
plantacions, farm. Kaya naman nageenjoy talaga ako kahit road trip lang na
makakita ako ng greens sa Pinas everytime na uuwi ako, nakakarelax talaga.<o:p></o:p></div>

At first glance para talaga syang
artificial. Everyone na nakakakita is pinching it just to be sure na totoo sya.
Some them will tease me, na pwede na daw ipang salad yung dahon nya kasi ang
lalapad then shiny and looks crunchy daw. Super fresh, buhay na buhay talaga
sya. Kung sa tao walang kastress-stress sa life nya and super blooming.<o:p></o:p></div>

I was away for a month sa office
pero bago ako umalis, ipinagbilin ko sa teaboy namin na pakialagaan ni Flying
Kathy. Low maintenance naman ito - 2x a month mo lang sya need diligan at konti
lang talaga, konting sunlight lang since mas nagblobloom sya kapag malamig kaya
indoor lang din talaga sya. I was back from my vacation on January and ganito
na sya...<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
See the difference? nagdry at
nalagas na yung ibang mga dahon nya. Yung dating super green, shiny and
"crunchy" leaves nya natutuyo na yung mga tip. Though may mga flowers
nya pero kapansin pansin na nabawasan yung ganda nya.Nalungkot ako ng slight
kasi I'm expecting na mas maganda ko syang makikita, I'm expecting na mas
magblobloom sya pero the good thing is she's still holding on to the ground
kung saan sya nakatanim. Parang she wanted to tell me na "hey I'm still
blooming where I am planted".<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Its like us there are times na
super energetic tayo, blooming at everything runs smoothly sa life natin. Pero
let's face the reality - may hurdles, challenges, problems, and unexpected
circumstances tayo na mga pinagdadaanan.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>How many times na nadapa ka na sa buhay? ang dami mo ng pinagdaanan pero
still see yourself now - courageously and hopeful in battling the challenges of
life. The Lord is good, He is good to all, and He is good all time, Sometimes,
He allowed us to experience na madapa tayo para matuto tayo in life. May mga
times na hindi natin naiintindihan ang dahilan bakit nga ba - bakit nga ba need
pa nating masaktan, madapa, magkaproblema. Pero naisip mo ba na sa bawat
pinagdadaanan mo may lessons ka na natutunan. I remember our late Pastor Vil sa
isang sermon nya na talagang nagrema sa isip at sa puso ko "hanggang hindi
ka pumapasa sa test ng pagsubok babalik at babalik ka jan, kaya sa una pa lang
na test ipasa mo na" Really true, may mga circumstances or problema naman
talaga na contributor din tayo, kung sa una pa lang itatama mo na and you will
allow God to be with you - to guide you, lead you at susunod ka then maiipasa
mo ang test and surely sa sunod na magdaan ka ulit sa test na ganon it will be
easier for you.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Sometimes ang dami nating reklamo
sa buhay, nalilimutan nating iappreciate kung anong meron tayo. May mga times
na hindi tayo natututong makontento at magpasalamat kay Lord sa kung anong
meron tayo. Naisip mo ba na ang lahat ng bagay na pinagdadaanan mo ngayon ay
may purpose .<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>And we know that in all things
God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to
his purpose - Romans 8:28</b></span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>BLOOM WHERE THE LORD PLANTED YOU!</b></span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<o:p> </o:p>Kung saan ka nadapa don ka rin
tumayo. Our Lord Jesus Christ is gracious to guide and lead you to the path
that He wants you to be BUT you need to listen to Him; allow Him to control and
be the driver of your life. Trust me, He will never ever fail you, never will
He leave you nor forsake you. Sa disyerto na mainit, maalikabok, maraming
restrictions ka Nya dinala, still BLOOM! Nagiisa ka man, malayo sa pamilya or
kaibigan mo, the Lord wants you to BLOOM! The Lord Jesus Christ has purpose
kung bakit ka nasa situation or nasa lugar kung nasaan ka ngayon. Hindi mo alam
kung anong purpose ng Lord, the ask Him, pray and He will answer.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Its almost 2 years since my last entry. I have so many stories to share with you but I really don't know where to start, for the meantime let's talk about the talk of the town - the Corona Virus or COVID 19. I know all people know who is "COVID". Everyone knows his capacity to break a person's health, to put man into grave and to create fear, anxiety, and worries to all.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sabi ko nga sa officemate ko kung ako ang papipiliin between a war and yung ganitong pandemic virus, I will choose war na lang. Bakit? at least sa war kita mo yung panganib, alam mo kung saan ka pwede magtago and yung prevention or precaution na gagawin mo nakikita mo kung may effect ba talaga, but in fighting the virus, para kang nakikipaglaban sa hangin - yung hindi mo alam kung nakascore ka na ba or mananalo ka ba talaga.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I just want to share 3 things that we can do in times like this.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
First, we should take an <b><u>EXTRA</u></b> care. If we are careful before and cautious on how we are taking care or health and keeping our hygiene, then we should make it MORE and MORE this time. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Since I am still going to office to work, minsan nakakaparanoid na talaga lumabas. Laging nakasanitized ang kamay, may mask especially outside office, using tissue in pressing the lift, sanitizing the printer, table, phone and lahat na yata ng pwedeng isanitize! As much as possible, kung pwede lang talaga ayaw ko makikipagusap sa iba not because ayaw ko pero mas tingin ko ok na yun. I'm working in Procurement - so what to expect laging maraming suppliers na nagiinquire and maraming documents, the good things since the virus was announced that its already pandemic, bawal na ang supplier bumisita ng office and no hard copies na kami, pero it doesnt mean wala na ako ginagawa mas dumami actually kasi need ko iprint lahat sa head office. Anyways, back to taking care, yung 1.5 meter distancing talaga need ipractice. Physical distancing and not only social distancing. When I reached home, I also taking hot bath and sanitizing pa rin. I'd rather do that than to be sorry for nor doing an EXTRA CARE.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HCmn0Rj8iLw/XoEK1EMLGlI/AAAAAAABSYs/siF0q4BvaPwAuP2vNA0EJvhwBkMyaY2agCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/91250790_626892368165965_9076204733349232640_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="360" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HCmn0Rj8iLw/XoEK1EMLGlI/AAAAAAABSYs/siF0q4BvaPwAuP2vNA0EJvhwBkMyaY2agCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/91250790_626892368165965_9076204733349232640_n.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Second, its not only our physical health that we should take care even our mental health. Worries, anxieties, and fears are only in the corner. Almost all people know so much information about the virus and social medias are feeding so much about it. Whatever information feeds our mind yun ang kadalasan nagiging carrier ng nagiging reaction natin. Kung everyday ang nakikita mo is parang results ng canvassing sa election na tumataas na bilang ng mga navivirus or namamatay, yun nag lagi mong iisipin and hindi mo namamalayan nagcrecreate na ito ng fear sa'yo. Once you have a fear, anxiety or worry mas madaling bumagsak ang immune system natin. So to avoid that, you can stay away sa mga news na ganon instead if you can't really stay away from social media subscribe don sa mga page that will boost your spirit. <b><u>BE MENTALLY HEALTHY.</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Third, we must be <b><u>SPIRITUALLY HEALTHY</u></b>. Pray and meditate. Before the pandemic virus attacked the world, ang lagi maririnig "wala akong oras" or "kulang ang oras ko" but now we have enough time. Meron nga na talagang bahay lang at nauubos ang oras sa social media or sa kakapanood ng mga movies, but have you ever allot kahit man lang 15 minutes to pray kay Lord. If there's best time to pray and to listen to Him through His word is NOW. People have a ton of excuses hindi tayo nauubusan ng excuses at gagawin kahit na sinasabi na naiinip at walang magawa still meron pa rin. The best weapon that we can have in this life, this time - is PRAYER. People may fail you, your mobile or gadgets may break but our gracious Lord will not ever leave nor forsake you. He can heal us physically, mentally, and emotionally.</div>

May 25, 2018, we celebrated mother's day in the church. Honoring the Lord on His goodness and faithfulness to the lives of our mothers. Daughters are also invited to attend the event, how I wish I could be with my mom to be on that kind of event - I miss her.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Just finished downloading, editing, and uploading 300+ pictures taken on the event and can't help to have some favorite shots. Thank you to bro.Nan for holding my camera ^_^</div>

I remember the first time I saw monks way back 2006 in Bahrain airport. I don't know why I am afraid to them, maybe because I was just shocked because that's my first time to see people who dressed like them and they seemed so serious and doesn't know how to smile.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Out of curiosity during our tour at Tooth Relic in Kandy, Sri Lanka I was one of the four campers who entered the temple. I asked first one of the campers if its possible to take photo with a monk. She told me we should ask permission first since like any other not all monks are friendly and will give way.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As form of respect, you can see some signs that selfie is not allowed inside and your back should not in front of their statues when taking pictures. And when they caught you to disobey the protocol, oh my immediately they will get your camera or phone, check it and if found selfie photos taken inside, they will immediately ask you to delete. When you are visiting anywhere, whether its a religious complex or anywhere, the key word should be obey and respect.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Its quiet inside the temple and though I really want to take a photo with the monk, I was hesitant to do so. I'm thinking - maybe its not allowed also since we're inside or what if they will reject us. So after roaming inside the temple, we go out as usual. But behind my mind I really need to have at least one shot of photo with a monk, since I may not have an opportunity to have one.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Good thing I have the boys - I don't know exactly who approached the monk. The next thing I know is Nan is asking me to stand beside the monk and taking picture.</div>

I want to ask questions to him but obviously (flower on his hands) he needs to go inside the temple. So I just asked the help of Wikipedia to answer the questions on my mind :) The traditional Buddhist wear robes. The robe is generally called civara. Antarvasa is the inner robe covering the lower body while for the upper body its uttarasanga. Other items that may have been worn are: the kushalaka - the waist cloth and the samakaksika, the buckled belt. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Guys if visiting temple is part of your tour, my advise for you is not to wear loud color shirt or dress. Believe me cos the guy next to me experienced it already, right William? Isn't William and the monk has some resemblance? Just thinking bagay siguro yung robe kay William hehehe.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
If someone asks you "Who are you?" what will be your answer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
That's the first question we encountered on the <b>Grow Beyond Family Camp Sri Lanka 2017</b>. The question sound so easy to answer. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Here's the exact answer I wrote on my paper:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I am Jennifer Cleofe Arellano</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I am a child of God</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I am a daughter of a King</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I am the eldest & the only daughter in the family</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I am an expectant from the Lord on this camp.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Its common to start by telling our name. Our name is our first identity for others to know us. But sometimes even our name is a duplicate of someone. I tried to search my name in google and voila there are some people holding exactly the same name that I have. How can our identity be our own if someone has it also?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The question is "Who are you?" We usually answered that I am a graduate of this course, I am a manager or employee, etc. or sometimes even stating our possessions and the like. But is that "who are you?" or "what you are?"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Sometimes we see and define ourselves on how others see and define us. We tend to forget that we are unique, we are peculiar and we are created in the image of our Maker. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
"I am not what I think I am and I am not what you think I am. I am what I think that you think I am"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Before, I really avoid looking at the mirror. I am afraid to see the image - the distorted image in front of me. But after the assurance I received from my Maker that I am fearfully and wonderfully made, and that I am created from inmost being and knitted together in my mother's womb, I know I have nothing to fear on the image that I see on the mirror. Through God who strengthens me and give me enough daily dosage of His grace, I can stand and conquer the fear that I have - the fear of rejection, the fear of being outcast, and so on. People may judge us for what or who we are and not, but Jesus will not. He love us for who we are. He is always ready to embrace us, all we need is to surrender ourselves to Him, have faith and give Him our full trust to manage our lives.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
May 21, 2017, around 11:20 pm after YAM in the church, feel so tired physically but my heart and spirit are fully recharged of His words and encouragements.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The topic on the service is about Mastering Emotions: Conquering your fears with the Lord. I didn't expect that at the same night, last night I will be able to apply what I've heard. I was stuck in the elevator. Tuwang tuwa pa naman ako kasi naka-zero so I will not wait for that long. I pressed 3 then wait to go up while browsing my phone and after a minute I stared at the screen since naramdaman ko na parang hindi nagli-lift, still on zero. I keep pressing the number but di sya nagfufunction, I pressed the open button but its the same. I keep on praying - Lord na-stuck po yata ako. The first that I asked sana Lord wag magblackout sa loob and I asked Him to give me peace and calmness. I saw a mobile number of the guard on duty and he anwered. While waiting for help I keep reciting Isaiah 41:10 "So do not fear for I am with you". I was reminded also by what we have discussed in YAM - where to look when you are in fear. I called my siblings in YAM to ask prayer and its one way also to have someone to talk with so I will remain calm. After I think almost 15minutes the elevator was forcefully opened. The struggle in getting up from inside (yung parang nahulog ka sa balon na kelangan mong umakyat). Thanks to the lives of AMNCO security guards in our compound, they responded fast. The first attempt to get up was failed, maybe dahil na rin sa ilang minuto na ako na nasa loob at kulang sa oxygen parang wala na akong energy pa na umakyat. So I asked them to get a chair, so after na makakuha ng chair I tried pero di pa rin, so one of the guard go down inside the elevator and after few attempts, I was up. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ang bilis ng application ng lesson about mastering emotions :-)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>God is good all the time. If we will seek Him and run to Him first, everything will always be fine.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Glory to God</b></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
People usually don't believe me everytime I tell them na mahiyain ako noon. Yup, I am super mahiyain, nagsasalita naman ako at nakikipagusap sa tao but not as approachable as I am today. I remember nga na kapag nagpa-followup ako sa mga companies na inapplyan ko, I asked my tita pa to do the follow up for me. I don't know if its the confidence that's lacking on me or there's a fear within me. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When I started to work abroad I really prayed to the Lord to give me courage to speak and tell people what's on my mind. My mom and other people who know me well was shocked when they saw on "friendster" my photo holding a microphone in the midst of people, me as an MC. From then on, little by little my self-confidence started to boost. Then one time there was an announcement in the church looking for an MC/ presider for Friday service. It took me few weeks before I decide to register for a training. Praise God from then until now by the grace of the Lord I'm still standing.</div>

I am a part of Program Department in the church which concerned mainly on the orderliness of church events and activities.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Last August 26, 2016 we had our first team building as well training for all the members of the Program Team - MC, ushers, documentary team, and service team.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm so thankful and happy seeing new faces of brethren who really want to be used for the glory of the Lord. It took me almost a week to prepare for everything - from topics, ice breakers and games.</div>

In everything that we do, we should know the reason behind why we are doing those things and we should be reminded often so we can strive and give our best more.<br />
For us, to <b><span style="font-size: large;">BLESS THE LORD, HONOR HIM and BRING HIM AN OFFERING THAT BEFITS HIM. </span></b><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
As a team and family its important to know each other not only by name but a deeper side of one another - not to gossip or judge but to accept and to love.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
People first instinct when you are in Program is that you have no stage freight or fear to approach and talk to others but its not, we all have fears that we need to deal and flaws that we need to polish. That's why we need a continuous learning and training for us to give the best talent that God gave us, so we can serve Him with excellence.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Communication is one of the key that really matters in Program team, and we can't deny the fact that even we know each other we're still lacking for communication. We believe its not only the language barrier that hinders us but the fear of being rejected or ignored, that's why even in few hours we tried to be at ease on how to approach others and introduce ourselves for what we have - our personal testimonies.</div>

After the team building -training, I am happy to see their happy faces and hearing their words of affirmation that they will stand and serve with the Lord with all their heart and strength. Ang lagi kong paalala sa kanila na lagi kong paalala sa sarili ko rin may naginvest ng time and effort sa akin para matuto ako, para makatayo ako and I want also na gawin din nila yon, - to share what they've learn and to teach others so they can be equip as well in serving the Lord.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Found this prayer in one Christian site for single and I want to share it with you guys. This is a good reminder for single persons like me. Though there are a lot of temptations everywhere but if we are connected and holding on with the Lord, then we can able to stand straight and firm. I always says it to the teens in our church and even to the "not so teens" - NEVER COMPROMISE YOUR FAITH. Circumstances and people will test you but be strong not to disconnect yourself to the Maker. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Being single is happy and free but it takes hardships and courage to deny all what this world is offering, but it does not mean that you can't. We can, as long as you are in the presence of the Lord, all things are possible. Pray fervently. Stay away from people and places that will forsake you into sin. Be friends with someone who will lead and accompany to you to the right path - to Jesus.</div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">One circle of strength, founded on faith, joined in love, and keep by God together.</span></b></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Meet my QICM Small Group Family - The Mighty Warriors of God. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am indeed blessed to have all of them. I consider them as my family within the QICM family. They are my comforter when I need shoulders to cry on; they are the one who rejoices with me when victory is at my hand and someone who never get tired of praying with me. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am away from my family - my Dad, Mom and siblings but being with this group I found a family away from home, I found love and belongingness.</div>

Christmas tree Oh my Christmas tree...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you are a Filipino, you know how happy the ambiance your house will be if you have Christmas decorations when "ber" month come along the way. Different sizes of Christmas tree - some are white and mostly are green, colorful lights and trees accessories to give life.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Though Christmas is one of the most important occasion that we are celebrating yearly, we don't need to spend too much just to make everything inside the house look stunning and extravagant. We can re-use the old Christmas decors that we used last year or recycled it to give a new look. Christmas season is your chance to be more artistic and creative, its time for another DIY-ing!<br />
I love photos! Every time I see photos along with it are stories - good happy old days. So since Christmas tree decorations like balls and trinkets are very seldom and expensive here in Doha, I decided to do my version of Pinterest inspired trinkets.<br />
I used photos of Doha Family from our previous Christmas - Year End gatherings. So here's another DIY to enjoy.<br />
<br />
What you need:<br />
Photos, Paper string, and Scissor<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2Bsk5_Trwzo/Vl7QP7RFEdI/AAAAAAAAHi8/2CW1FIm2iw8/s1600/IMG_20151125_224657.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2Bsk5_Trwzo/Vl7QP7RFEdI/AAAAAAAAHi8/2CW1FIm2iw8/s640/IMG_20151125_224657.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Dp9zYe2Jcr4/Vl7QPTZ2SMI/AAAAAAAAHi4/9FS2qijmLq0/s1600/IMG_20151125_230052.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Dp9zYe2Jcr4/Vl7QPTZ2SMI/AAAAAAAAHi4/9FS2qijmLq0/s640/IMG_20151125_230052.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
Choose photos of your choice and cut it depends on the sizes that you preferred.<br />
Punch a small hole on the photo<br />
Cut paper string according to the length that you want.<br />
Insert the paper string on the whole and tie it.<br />
<br />

Hello blogsphere! Yup this blog is still alive and existing. Its been awhile since I posted in here, sa daming nangyari at sa dami kong gustong ishare I don't know exactly where to start. But let me start to where I ended.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After 9 years of service with Sky Oryx Joint Venture, my graceful exit has finally served. May 30, 2015 I surrendered my company ID.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-U5FqQIykhdU/ViFE9SNDk2I/AAAAAAAAHhA/aZ7XWKDHbJE/s1600/11236857_10204900608769766_1437757683188232641_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-U5FqQIykhdU/ViFE9SNDk2I/AAAAAAAAHhA/aZ7XWKDHbJE/s400/11236857_10204900608769766_1437757683188232641_n.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Though nakakalungkot but I'm happy rin talaga kasi I really gained so much friends in the company, real friends pero it will not stop naman when you leave the place. I am really grateful and thankful na marami akong naging kakiala at kaibigan through SOJV. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Like what I'm always telling sa mga umaalis sa company "God will give you a better job, lahat ng umaalis sa SOJV maganda ang pinupuntahan" and I did it to myself. I claimed that God will bless me a new job whether in Philippines or in Doha. I have so many plans even before I left the company but even though I have so many plans in life still the Lord will determine if that plan is really for me. Minsan ang dami-dami nating plano, there were times na nadi-disappoint pa nga tayo kasi our plans didn't turned the way it should be, instead of planning ahead, why not pray first. I hold unto God's promises, I know nagiisip pa lang ako Sya may line up na ng plano for me.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://jenarellano.blogspot.qa/2013/07/seven-years-in-sojv.html" target="_blank"><b>SOJV</b> </a>is my comfort zone already. I used working with the people, following its procedures and policies, and dealing with my workloads. And now another start from the scratch but no worries, I know my God can supply all of my needs. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I will not get tired of thanking SOJV. Salamat for giving me the best of 9 years that I deserve, though may mga times na katulad ng iba may mga complaints ako still in my heart I am grateful and indeed SOJV has been a blessing for me.</div>

After our C.R.E.W (youth ministry) service last Friday, we hit Aspire park. Its actually Guia's request before her flight that night going back to Philippines for her college schooling. The weather is still quite good and the heat of the sun is still tolerable.</div>

Yay is that mean riding in the bicycle? Honestly I don't know how to ride in the bicycle on my own. I tried naman na matuto nung bata pa ako, Daddy even asked someone to teach me pero hindi talaga, as I've told you hindi nga ako sporty pang board games lang ako, hehehe. I asked these youngsters that I can be their photographer but since ang available na bike lang is for four seaters I joined them na rin, rider lang ako hahaha.</div>

Balancing is one of the most important thing you should learn in biking. If you don't know how to balance there's a tendency for you fall down especially if you'll pass by in humps and rough roads and yes bruises and scratches is part of the training. But as long as you really want to learn and you are dedicated I guess it will be easy for you. Well, I don't know on me why I reached at my age and doesn't learn how to. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Its just like life itself. There are times that you will get confuse on which to do first, sometimes you need to drop what's on your other hand so you can go on smoothly. Along your way you will bump and encounter problems and challenges but you never stop there cos you want to reach on the finish line.</div>

If you feel tired, don't worry you have friends to help you. Sometimes they are just quiet, they just want for you to try but never they will let you fall nor down.<br />

Some says life is a race, you need to rush in order to win. But for me, life is a gift to enjoy; you don't need to rush, all you need to do is go through it and walk on it smoothly. Just fight the good fight.</div>

I was so busy this past few days, actually I have a lot of things and activities to share with you guys but for now let me share how happy I am for what I've received from my favorite hotel here in Doha! Yes I am very vocal how I love to dine with them, my friends and colleagues know that, that I love Oryx Rotana Hotel. Among the hotels I visited, I feel so comfortable and at home with them. I don't know pero may feeling talaga akong ganon, aside from the food they have hospitable staffs that will let you feel that you belong to the place and nothing to feel uncomfortable especially if its your first time to experience hotel dine in. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Remember my last post about <b><a href="http://jenarellano.blogspot.com/2015/03/qatar-international-food-festival-2015.html" target="_blank">QIFF 2015</a></b>? If you are my friend in FB or follower in my IG account, you probably know what this post all about. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Just to have a souvenir photo and just for fun I posed and took picture on Oryx Instaframe and followed what it said on the instruction. I don't take it seriously, on the first place I know how competitive social media contests are but I jokingly said it my friends that night "namimiss ko na nga ang Choices malay nyo manalo ako" - words are powerful!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I already forgot that said contest, after I uploaded the picture that's it until on Monday when I reached home I opened my IG account and found out that Oryx Rotana posted a comment on my photo. I didn't read it immediately I close my IG again until I was reminded about the instaframe contest, I opened again and found out that I won!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
At first I am hesitant if its the real account of Oryx, I asked my friend who worked in Oryx Rotana to check the authenticity of the comment and the account used. He told me that yes it is Oryx account and to be sure the next day he asked their marketing executive.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I just want to share what happened a week before I win. Almost everyday I'm passing Old Airport Road where you can see a bit of Oryx. I told to myself "kelan ko kaya maiikain si Bjay dito" Bjay is my one and only sibling. Nung nasa Pinas pa sya everytime may mga pinupuntahan ako hotel, pasyalan or even some restaurants, naiisip ko sana I can the same with my family and I remember nung papunta na dito si Bjay I prayed na sana I can able to let him experience din na kumain sa mga fine dining or hotel. But since mejo tght ang budget, nagkasunod-sunod ang mga gastos I forgot it all. God always reminds me to prioritize things that need to be prioritize - in short its the "needs" first before the "wants". Last week is a National Siblings Day, though we don't really celebrate it, sabi ko talaga "Lord sana matreat ko yung kapatid ko jan sa Oryx kahit bago sya magbakasyon" but my mind will speak to me "Paano, may pera ka nga pero may mas mahalaga ka pang paggagamitan" </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To continue, I received email from Marketing Department of Oryx on Monday. And yes its confirm, I really won!</div>

God really do knows our heart's desire kahit gaano mang kasimple or kaliit ito. Minsan naiisip natin why do I need na ipag-pray pa, alam naman ni Lord na gusto ko, bakit kailangan pa na ipagpray ko e alam naman ni Lord na need ko ito? May mga ganong moment tayo na naiisip minsan di ba. God wants us to draw closer to Him, kung lahat ipagkakaloob Nya baka hindi mo na Sya kausapin, baka hindi mo na maalala na tumawag sa Kanya or baka nga even His name di mo na makilala.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yesterday, I passed by at Oryx Rotana. I felt the same feeling every time I visited them, yung kapag pasok mo pa lang nakasmile na mga staffs at igri-greet ka. I'm not saying this cos I won to their contest as I've said you can ask my friends how I am vocal how I love to be with Oryx Rotana. While I'm waiting for Ms. Gab, their Marketing and Communications Executive I met Ms. Valerie, parang sa mga hotel booking yata sya in charge, she's very approaching. I guess one of the secret for a hospitality business like hotels to succeed is for them to hired approachable and accommodating staffs. From the word "hospitality" staffs must be "hospitable". I had been to few hotels here in Doha but not of them have hospitable staffs.</div>

<b>Dinner in the Sky Zone</b> is one of the activity that made QIFF popular. This year its Qatar Airways who sponsored the Dinner in the Sky, serving in a business class style of the 5 star airline.Its expensive but I guess its the experience of eating in height that you're paying.<br />

<b>Live Cooking Zone</b> features celebrity chefs from different country but since I'm not much into cooking shows I'm not familiar to them. They have a big LED screen where you can see the actual scene of what they are doing in front as well as how the food was prepared and cooked.<br />

They really offers a variety of food - you can find a lot of sweets stands, ice cream as well as popcorn booth.<br />
Kung sa Pilipinas ang carpet sa loob lang ng bahay well here hindi cos even sa park na may damo pwede ring gamitin.<br />

Its a picnic everywhere scenario every time na may QIFF. What I also love about QIFF aside from the food of course is its one way for the family to have bonding and spend quality time with each other, nakakatuwa makita na kahit nakakapagod (sa tingin ko lang), parents don't mind na isama at habul-habulin ang mga anak nila.<br />

Don't worry about your calories consumed, since car nor taxi is not permitted to enter inside MIA park you can take a walk and burn again some of the calories that you consume. But before leaving the place, don't forget to take a picture on their #QIFF2015 and when you upload to social media put the same hash tag.<br />

Since I got back from my vacation last October 2014 I am praying to God to give me provision on what step should I make next. I'm not getting any younger and I really want a stable career. For almost 9 years I am working in an international construction firm; people from construction project based will understand me that the stability from such kind of business is not for lifetime, I mean all depends on the projects that the company will get.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Lord answered my prayer, He gave me provisions and use people as an instrument to take my first step in applying to the position that I really wanted. Even before I worked here in abroad I really want a job wherein I can directly help people. I even trade a regular bank position over a contractual government staff. I remember how people asked me why I chose to be in a public service over a job that is stable and earn high, at first I asked myself too "bakit nga ba?", I enjoy being with people, helping them even in the simplest way I can. Hindi ako mayaman and sometimes iniisip ko sana nga mayaman na lang ako so I can help more but in the end I'd still wanted to have a simple life, I'm afraid that I might be boastful when I become rich and famous, ok na ako sa kung anong meron ako though I'm striving to have more pa rin naman. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Last February, my friend asked me if I want to apply in a government position, to give it a try again. My friend knows how I really love to. I had a not so formal interview with the labor attache here. I really miss being in the public service, and as he brief me on the scope of job if ever I will be hired, sobrang naexcite ako since hindi na bago sa akin yong mga ganong trabaho and the most exciting part of it is I can have interaction to those distressed OFW under the agency's custody. After a week, another friends sent me a message confirming if I can go back as early as March 3to assume the position in a government agency where they are working too. To make the story short I wasn't able as I need at least a month to notify my present company but they told me that they will be giving me another chance and notify me again if there will be another vacant position.<br />
Two weeks ago I received the confirmation from Philippines regarding my application for the vacant position here, yes even dito ka magaassume ng position since its a Philippine government agency need na sa Pilipinas pa rin iproprocess lahat ng application. I submitted an incomplete requirements such as medical test, I need health card pa kasi dapat government hospital dito ang magcertify, I waited for 3 weeks and I'm getting a hard time to have it. Today morning the agency confirmed to me that the deadline is over.<br />
Honestly, after so many years ngayon ko lang ulit na-feel yung parang nadisappoint pero wala ka namang magawa kasi its beyond your control, yung ang dami mong tanong pero wala namang mahanap na sagot, yung okay ka pero bakit naiiyak ka. <br />
While checking my FB I saw that one familiar name commented on the photo I posted. Oh its my former boss and mentor to my previous government agency I worked with, parang kasi ngayon lang sya nagFB kaya for so many years I don't have any means of communication with her. All the memories I had with them flashback, bigla ko tuloy naisip what if magapply kaya ulit ako don this time as a permanent na.<br />
The only words that comes into mind is God's promise in His word in Romans 8:28<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

From the time I started my application, ipinagpray ko na and I always include it on my prayer. I entrusted it to the Lord, that His will be done kaya siguro kahit may konting panghihinayang mas madali ko syang na-let go. And at the same time God sent me an angle this morning, I found one of "ate" in church whom I look up to, I consider her as my mentor in the church. I am thankful for all the comforting words and sharing me word of God for me to see more clearly and hold on tighter to God's promises. I am really blessed and grateful that the Lord is always besides me - to catch me and comfort me; He is always ready before I utter that I need Him.</div>

Ate gave me a line from the song Trust His Heart and it really soothes my heart. Thanks Ate Agnes!</div>

To end and to welcome another year, here are 34 personal random thoughts that I learned and did from my 33 and looking forward to continue and create new ones at my 34.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1. Cooking is love . You exert effort and sometimes requires patience.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2. I survive without coffee. From my "old" lifestyle I can't stand the day without sipping at least 2 cups of coffee in a day but almost 6 months now, hooray for me I survive the coffee no more challenge! I am now a tea lover</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
4. Even men especially fathers can be in Kid's Ministry at church. I was so blessed to see that in other churches most of their teacher in their Kids Ministry are men.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pxLWb3AeDbM/VPwCJQ-JcxI/AAAAAAAAHQ8/m6PXM9fdjak/s1600/10952542_629879463824602_3928691055240738286_n.jpg" height="360" width="640" /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
7. And there are some who keep in silent and watch you and you'll get surprise they are the person who will catch you.</div>

10. Live according to what you have and what you can. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
19. I love to stay in home section area longer than in apparel's area.</div>

How about you any thoughts you want to share?</div>
Outspoken Mindhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16620752435555735131noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2215509816450973050.post-10994054311896150862015-02-28T11:45:00.000+03:002015-02-28T11:45:40.458+03:00I'm Excited!<div style="text-align: justify;">
Everyday is a new challenge for me - from the time I opened my eyes, dressed up and go to work. I always put on my mind that I need to be better that I was yesterday, I need to accomplish something not for myself alone but even to the simplest thing I can do for others. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today morning after I had my quiet times, I suddenly reminded that tomorrow will be the start of my birth month. Few days from now, the 3 will become 4 but honestly I'm not afraid to get old. I am always proud to tell people about my age whenever I'm asked, I don't mind the numbers honestly. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am a dreamer and planner ever since I was a child. I planned everything and trusted it all to God. I dreamed to be a lawyer - family lawyer to be exact. When a grade 6 teacher of mine asked the class who wants to be a lawyer when we grow up, only 3 of us raised hands. When one of my high school teacher asked me what course will I get in college, I told her that first I will enroll to a pre-law course, AB Political Science then I'll take Bachelor of Law after. At early age, I know what I want. But not all we wanted will be the best for us. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I graduated college at the age of 19. Though I thought its an advantage for me to get a job easily I was wrong. I remember that I was turn down to certain job vacancy because of my age. I passed the exam and interviews but when they check my age and found out that I'm only 19, they told me that I may not handle the position as I will working with older staffs than me. Instead of wasting time and to get bored, I tried other opportunities while waiting. I became a family tutor for 4 children. I really enjoy being with children, you can learn a lot from them - even in the simple stories they will share to you. There were times that I get depressed too, minsan I asked myself "bakit yung iba nakakakuha kaagad sila ng magandang trabaho, bakit yung mga dati kong classmate or batchmate na bumabagsak-bagsak at nakakilang retake sa subject sila pa yung naha-hire, bakit ako na ang gand-ganda ng grade ko, why its hard for me to get a job" Sometimes I even cry hard and ask the Lord kung ano ba, should I pursue my law proper ba but He knows that I will not pursue it without any job kasi alam Nya na magla-law ako if I have my own money to spend in my schooling. I keep on waiting.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I love and like to be in public office even before I took up my course. I saw my parents how dedicated they were on their own field. They were both government employees in department of health. My mom being a midwife even put a small clinic in her house. There were times na magigising ka na lang sa hatinggabi sa tunog ng doorbell or lakas ng tawag sa gate kasi may manganganak, though hindi sya connected sa barangay nor sa city kung saan kami nakatira she will do the duty, the next day kahit puyat she will still go to office likewise with my father. I remember he told us during the earthquake in Baguio that in public service you need to sacrifice and sometimes let even you loved ones to sacrifice for the welfare of more people. Nung dumating sya from Baguio at kinwento nya how tragic it was and even at night he's shouting on his dream to rescue the other victims. Its clear for me that sometimes I really need to sacrifice and deny even my own time for myself to serve others.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While waiting to get a job, I enrolled instead in Law into Graduate School. Almost all of my classmates are working - some are department heads of government agencies, some are politicians and some are scholars by their parents, and that's where I belong.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I learned so many things in my MPA but above all things I learned to communicate with people from different walks, I am molded to talk and be confident. Ang dami and I could say talagang may impact sa akin and additional are friends and best friends that I met and still have in me until now.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At the age of 22 I graduated from MPA, since I am a full time student mabilis akong natapos I even enrolled summer class kasi sabi ko sayang naman yung oras kesa mabored ako. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm very idealistic that anyone can have a government item position even
without "padrinos", though my parents told me that it going to be hard.
I tried several times and I failed but I keep on trying, I don't know
whats on government agencies or offices na kung tutuusin naman nga mas
malaki ang salary ng nasa private. I was hired as a contractual employee and detailed into DILG. I love working with people and reaching them to the best I can, it may sounds "showbiz" but yes there are still government agencies that really perform their duties I mean a genuine public service, well I don't know your opinion about that but I am blessed to work with DILG- Batangas City. Though I am a detailed employee on the department, I didn't feel that way, they assure me that I am a part of them. I learned so many things and I know I contributed in a way too. But since I am a city government employee there's no guarantee or should I say no way to be permanent in the position. My boss then offer to apply in DILG directly but I was not able to pursue cos my papers from my Aunt abroad already came out. My four years in public service ended but my hope that in God's perfect time I will come back never loose.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm now walking on my 9th year in my present company in Doha, Qatar. Though every day is a struggle and challenge to walk here as I am away to my family. I am thankful to the Lord for the everyday strength and guidance His giving me; for the wisdom, understanding and knowledge to perform my duties and tasks in my work and even in some activities I am doing. Though I'm used to the lifestyle here, I'm always looking forward, hoping and praying that soon I will be back home. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For several attempt I plan to resign to my work but still it didn't prosper. God I know has His plan better than mine. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Everyday, I'm longing to be with my family, to spend time with them and continue all the unfinished <strike>dreams</strike> ambitions that I once started. It's still sounds ideal to be back in public service after being away for almost 9 years but I trust the Lord that there's nothing impossible for Him - I have a big GOD may mas malakas pa bang padrino than Him? Though there were times lately na parang I want to drop na lang yung eagerness ko to apply in government office but every time na magaattempt ako, the Lord is giving me new hope that its still possible for me, na yung dream magiging reality, na yung ambition magiging possibilies.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tomorrow will be my birth month and I'm excited to God's surprise gift for me. More than any material things God knows the desire of my heart and I trusts Him that will give me the best and not the "pwede na ito". I'm excited that next time you will read my blog, may continuation na and nareceive ko na ang birthday gift ko from Him. As I approach on my birthday, kindly pray for me that the Lord will continue to give me wisdom especially in all the decisions that I'm going to make.</div>

The winter is not yet over but the summer is nearly approaching here in Qatar. And while the weather is still good and people can still enjoy to stay outside, Spring Festival was given way.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Its my second time to witness the Spring Festival. Last year I visited SF also but evening with friends, actually we didn't know that Souq Waqif is holding SF that time. And since I was informed this year, I asked my cousins to spent our weekend pasyal in witnessing the 2015 Spring Festival.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eeguu08TlJI/VMogTkSseJI/AAAAAAAAHM0/6QYm7D1GZQo/s1600/10403565_10204093426550715_6292838192204054193_n.jpg" height="500" width="640" /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
SF starts at 3:30 p.m. so if you want to witness the parade I suggest to you to go early. Though they have several sets of parade in the evening, it would be better especially for kids to see them in light. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They painted the Waqif in different colors! Colors really boosts happiness kahit nga nanonood lang ako yung feeling na natutuwa ka and you even want to follow them for no reason or just to have a picture with them.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Everyone are enjoying the colorful costumes and the joyful faces of the performer kaya naman bata man o matanda sinusundan sila.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They are also giving away freebies like kite. You can just go to the information center and ask for it. Unfortunately, we're not able to get but according to the staff everyday they are giving 100 pieces. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Since SF inside Souq Waqif, hindi kayo maiinip. They have several coffee shops and restaurants kung nagugutom, pwedeng pwede ang food trip, I suggest try their <a href="http://jenarellano.blogspot.com/2015/01/the-isaw-like-food-trip.html" target="_blank">"isaw"</a>. If you have budget, Souq Waqif is the best place to shop for souvenir items from key chains to ref magnets, accessories and shawls, house decors and more.And since its festival, you can see also food carts around and some vendors of balloons and other stuffs for kids.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The parade continues in the evening until 10:00 pm if I'm not mistaken. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
They have also some rides that will test your heights power, wala akong lakas ng loob subukan kaya we just remained in the ground and enjoy what they have.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So if you don't have any plan yet this weekend, visit Souq Waqif and enjoy the Spring Festival. Spring Festival will be until February 6, 2015.</div>
