Workmates, Friends, Him over the Weekend

October 11, 2013 - Workmates

My weekend started quite early. In our office, we had a consensus decision to have a get-together to unwind. We opted to spend our Friday evening at Golden Bay Resort and Spa, Limao Island Garden of City of Samal. We departed from our office around 3:00pm and arrived at the venue around 5:00pm. It was quite windy, cloudy and drizzling when we got there but it didn’t matter because the view was breathtaking. As for me, seeing the scenery relaxed me right away.

It was a night of food, chat, karaoke and establishing relationships outside the walls of our work. We didn’t spend much but we were able to maximize what we contributed. Each of us was tasked what to bring and everyone complied religiously. The best part was of course the boodle fight which we shared saliva and dirt and karaoke which I was the main performer.

When the morning came, the fun continued. While some, including me, were sleeping, our older companions prepared our breakfast and lunch for that day. We filled our stomach with a very sumptuous breakfast in boodle fight, of course. When we were already full, we didn't miss to swim and make most of the sea water. We let ourselves got wet of the water and enjoyed the early morning sun. When we were tired of swimming, we played 1-2-3-pass card game which we was really fun before we had our lunch. And by 1:00pm, we left the place and brought along with us pictures and memories

As usual, I had an unplanned night out with my closest friends. I was with Norman, Theo and Cre. It is like we are always on the same radar and wavelength. We had our very seemingly endless life conversation. We laughed until our jaw and stomach couldn't take our exploding happiness. We made a toast for career, life and love. This night was good luck for Theo's new career and post birthday celebration of him and Cre. This was one of those nights that we couldn't care less of what was around us as long as we were enjoying and not harming others. 

October 13, 2013 - HIM

Of course, Sunday is rest day and time for God. I attended Eucharistic celebration at St. Jude Parish. I was alone then. However, I opted that way because from time to time I need time for myself to reflect and make conversation with the Lord. I cannot do that if I have a companion. The Gospel on that day was taken from Luke 17:11-19. The priest emphasized GRATEFULNESS on his homily.

My thoughts

I have to be grateful for all that I have and for experiencing life. God has His own of unfolding His goodness to me. All I want to do is to let Him in I should enjoy and savor every single moment and to be thankful for the gift of life, career, friendship and family.

Dreamer, seeker at the time of Friendster

Every year we turn a year older. It is inevitable. However, to look back at our younger days is quite refreshing. This brings the feelings of happiness and restlessness. I personally feel happy because there are aspects in my life I can say I am changing for the better. But restlessness immediately interferes because I feel stagnant in some areas which I really need to grow. Nevertheless, looking back, in totality, amuses me. It creates a smile on my face and laughter in my mind.

I am still caught off guard by my self-description on my Friendster account and I wrote this during the social networking’s peak of popularity. And I re-posted and affixed a title "What I become now" this on multiply account (social networking site that is now inactive). As I reread how I described myself then, it transports me to that exact time I wrote it. The emotions are coming back. Admittedly, all I have written is still me now.

What I become now...   Sep 21, '09 2:27 PM

(This is my updated Friendster self-description and i was surprised with this. It's a revelation)

I am my dreams and ambitions in life. I am the love of my friends, family and God.

I’m not good in words but I’m good in numbers.

To be morally right is my constant battle. When temptation comes specially if it's about my heart and love, it's difficult for me to survive. I deviate from the right track. However,  I still manage to return to it, when all things are clear to me and I resolve these issues by prayers and more prayers, nothing else.

I’m willing to submit myself to voluntary servitude to love but I’m always saved from it. Lately, I realized that when the right love will come i won’t suffer and God always reminds me that. Love is simple and never complicated. But its presence makes everything else very profound. It doesn't need to be discussed. It has its own voice and speaks for itself.

To do what is right and avoid what is evil is the basic reminder of God.  I just hope I’m faithful enough to heed His reminder.

I have never entered romantic relationships. I’m single but will never be alone. You may see me to walk on my own but I walk with faith that God is by my side. If my vocation in life is single blessedness then i will embrace it with no doubts and hesitations.

Self-Discovery is an endless process. What the future holds, nobody knows. The person i am now might be different tomorrow. But one thing I will strive to be permanent and that is I will love, serve, put HIM in the center of my LIFE. By doing all these, everything will fall into their proper places. I will not worry anymore.

MY ULTIMATE GOAL IS TO BE WITH GOD IN HEAVEN.

First And Hopefully Not The Last

“To new beginnings. To the pursuit of...somethingness.”

There are times that I feel the need to express myself in writing. If there's pen and paper within reach, instantly, I let myself to be drowned in words. After writing all my feelings, there are only two things I do with my works. It's either I'm going to keep and lose them eventually at some future time or I'd throw them right then and there.

So here I am and decided that I have to write my thoughts on some platform wherein it is not only me who would be able to read it. To share my insights, thoughts, reflections and all other things is such a pleasure. And my decision was made more concrete because I was inspired by my high school friend, co-campus journalist (way back then but I didn't pursue the journalism as a career :-D) and classmate Joyce (check out her blog-site nicajoice.blogspot.com).  Thus, the perfect medium for my intention of writing is through blogging.

This site is for my own pleasure and contentment. To inspire or entertain others is just a bonus but I will feel happy if I can influence though. Here, I will post whatever I can make public out of myself. Anything that I can think of worthy of blogging will be the subject. Happy reading! Cheers for new beginnings! God Bless us all!
