Red Mango

It was my first time to experience the yogurt craze last saturday during my lunch date with my CSC berks. We decided to eat in Red Mango since Reg liked it so much. I just ordered the small one with one topping since it's my first time and it's a bit pricey.



Since it's yogurt, the taste is a unusual for me at first. I came to like it after 2-3 scoops. :)

Today, I shared it with Andrew. He said he liked it too. ;)

Till my next discovery!

State of Calamity

2009-09-26, the President declared that Manila, Bulacan, Cainta and other areas of Luzon is in the "state of calamity". It is reported that in Cainta, 100% of the residents experienced calamity in the area. The volume of rain that we Filipinos experienced that day is equivalent to 1month of rainfall. Also, PAG-ASA announces that it was the worst rainfall ever in the history of the Philippines.

I live in Cainta and fortunately our house is situated in a higher location in cainta. However, the road going to our house specifically ortigas extension is until now submerged in flood and reported that it is still not passable to light vehicles and people are already on their roofs waiting for rescue operations of the government. Some even stayed there more than 24hrs already and sadly some died because of hyperthermia. Until now, they are still doing the rescue operations and continually helping those affected areas in the Philippines.

This is so alarming to everyone. We've been experiencing different calamities all over the world. I heard that in Sydney, they experienced dust storms early this month. And now, in the Philippines.

We are then called to be united in prayer and help those victims of the calamities. We should always be prepared for calamities like this so that we can rescue ourselves and others too when it strikes again.

I hope everyone is okay by now. Let's continue to pray for their safety.

My Day!

Time to share our Blessings

Today, I really had a wonderful day. Thank you Lord for all the blessings you've given be every day of my life. :)




This afternoon, I had a chance to visit He Cares Foundation in Project 8. The September Celebrants in our company organized an outreach program for 50 kids. We had games, dance numbers from the "household girls and boys" then gave them jollibee spaghetti and chicken for merienda, and then giveaways like bag, toiletries, candies and small pillows. We are all tired but it was all worth it. This was my second outreach program for the year. I hoping for another one before the year ends. =)

After that, with some acting skills from my boyfriend. My sisters "surprised" me for an advance birthday celebration in East Ave. Infairness to them, I was a little bit surprised. Hahahaha. =) Thanks guys, you never fail me! :) By the way, had a free pizza from the restaurant. If I remember it right, it says "gaite de cour"?! Is that correct? hahaha. ;)



Oh well, I went home with a big heart and a big smile. :)

One Step at a Time

I’ve been going thru an emotional stress these past few months. I’ve stopped writing coz I don’t know how to express myself into writing when I’m down and depressed. My friend told me that I used to blog whenever I’m happy and inspired but never when I’m down. I reflected on it and thought that maybe I just don’t want to drag anyone with my life’s piece of shit that’s why I don’t bother to write about it. However, they told me that it could be one of the ways I can cope up with whatever I’m going thru right now. So here, I’ll try my best to express myself.

As I was learning the art of letting go, I found something that caught my attention. It was a card given to me by someone so dear to me 8yrs ago. On the card, it says:


One Step at a Time Is the Best Way to Go

When going through life and traveling in the direction of your dreams, the best way to get ahead is the simplest way: Take it one step at a time. Don’t look over your shoulder; if you do, You’ll feel the weight of all your yesterdays upon you. And don’t worry about what lies ahead. By the time you get to the bend in the road, or crest of the hill, you’re going to be better and stronger than you ever were before. Just go a step at a time, One day at a time. And you’ll find a rich, thankful life you never thought you could afford.
By: Adrian Rogers

As I was reading the card, there was a part where he shared something about his realizations in life. It was so inspiring that I want to share it to those who are feeling down and to those who just simply need some inspiration to continue their journey. Read on!

Sometimes, when I look back and think of all the could-have-beens in my life, I often wonder! Did I make the right choice? Did I miss a road sigh? Am I on the right track? CROSSROADS, they happen all the time. Saying goodbye to some, choosing only one. Letting go, holding on… settling for now, but facing what must come. Yes, in life we all reach a crossroad sometime. We make painful decisions and take some risks as we pursue our dreams. But one should not stay at the crossroads too long. For even the birds have to leave their nests some time and learn how to fly. Life’s road is long and rough and there are stretches when one has to do it alone. And should you meet the cross on the road, be consoled. Yes, more often than not, the road less traveled will surely bring you home. Face the light as well as the shadow that falls behind you. Turn your back and the shadow stays in front of you. Indeed, truth hurts, but it will surely set you free. The bitter pangs of parting will give birth to another moment called GROWING! So grow on… until it’s for you to move on… and face the crossroads again, knowing that God loves you and is in control of everything!


That says it all. Need I say more? Very inspiring! Even though it hurts to think that he’s the same person why I’m going through all this pain right now. It still gives me hope that someday, I’ll get over this and I’ll be a stronger person than before. There’s no easy way out. I have to undergo this process for me to be able to live the life that God wants me to have. There’s a reason for all of this. I may not know it right now but someday, everything will be clear. Everything will be all right. As the song goes, “There’s a rainbow always after the rain”. But for now, all I can do is to be strong. And of course, to have faith! Besides, I’ve got lots of friends who’ll be there for me ‘til the end.

Inspirational Song

Just wanted to share this song to all those who are hurting and finding meaning in their lives.

I hope this song will somehow make you feel better. Always remember that the Lord, our God will never let us down.



Touch Me Now
by: INGGO 1587

There are times when all my dreams just walk away and drift away
And often there to stay
And in this time I feel my world's just crawling down to the ground
I need someone to hold me through it all
I never knew that only you, my Lord, can help ease the pain
If only I would pray
And I never knew I only need the strength and ways to believe
I never knew you can teach me how to live

Refrain:
Touch me now my Lord
And ease the pain inside of me
Give me faith and hope that I may see
Touch me now my Lord
And put my love together once again cause only you can set me free.

Now I know that only you my Lord can help ease the pain
If only I would pray and
Now I know I only need the strength and ways to believe
I know that you can teach me how to live

(Repeat Refrain)

Bridge:
I never thought that you will give your life for me
Now I know I'm sure that there you are
I love I love I love you so much

(Repeat Refrain)

Touch me now
Touch me now
