Embracing Changes

Unexpected things happen for a reason. It can be from random situations like on your regular work days, during the rush hour on the road, while reading the news feed on facebook, killing time on bookstores, watching people how they walk, listening songs to your iPod on repeat, eating your favorite ice cream, or in anything you normally do that molds your lifestyle on a daily basis.

What stops you from your normal routine? It's simply losing it.

I find myself unprepared for what happened to me lately. It attacked my career. It suddenly stopped my daily motion. Yes, its unbearable and I should be saddened about it, but I don't know why I'm still at ease and grateful for what happened to me.

What is my source of joy?

"The source of joy defines your action and reaction. We lose our joy when we lose our source." I got this truth from Grace Manilao's preaching. One of her points was letting God be our source of joy. It is placing your joy to the one that never fails and gives you fullness of it. It was very timely..before the unexpected happened, I've already kept it on my grip and placed my source intact. :)

"If you do what you've always done, you are going to get what you've always gotten."

Maybe its a wake up call to change my routine and start doing what is rightfully made for me. I am not pretty sure where, when and how will I start doing it..whatever it is, I'm excited for greater things along the way.

"When you stop chasing the wrong things, you give the right things a chance to catch you."

You just have to stop in order to start all over again and keep your life on track. Just completely put your trust in Him. Embrace changes wholeheartedly and get ready to be moved.

The greatest therapy

Sleeping is my greatest therapy.  It gives you rest, gives you relief and it is refreshing.

The feeling of sleepiness when you are not in bed, and can't get there, is the meanest feeling in the world.  ~Edgar Watson Howe

I can sleep 12 hours in a day or more or even the whole day. Soft white blanket embraces me, my favorite pillows lean on me, sweet scents from my sheets relaxes me. I'll wait for the moon waves goodbye, until the stars lose their spark.

Zzzzz..

Alarm sets at 5 snoozes. Oh what a day!
It’s always such a lovely experience every time I woke up from long hours of sleep.

Start your day with meditation to keep your life on track.

A good laugh and a long sleep are the best cures in the doctor's book.  ~Irish Proverb

More than what I expected

"one morning waiting for the sun shine on my face"
(picture taken at Eastwood City Libis- view outside the office)

The 23rd year of my birth came, so as the unexpected things along the way.

I love surprises!! God never fails in doing so.

Here's what happened.

A week before my birthday I created my birthday wishlist.
Posted things that is attainable, just to make sure I can have it all on my day. :)

The first and the BIGGEST surprise I had was a promotion.

Now I can call myself a WRITER because now I am doing it professionally.

Here's a glimpse of how HE moved:

It all happens one chilly afternoon in the office..while searching data for our website being built.
Our SEO specialist asked who can write?..

Chills became giggles of excitement..then I told him I can.

He gave me a product model then write about that in 250 words.

Owkey then.
So, I took the challenge. Started writing with high hopes and full of faith.

Passed the article and wait for the reply....1..2..days..

Reply: "Very impressive". -by our Client

Hello sunshine rainbow ice cream orange lemons chocolate mallows!!!!

In short, Hello SUNSHINE and hello promotion. :)

Just amazing.

I wasn't expecting an early promotion from my almost 2month-old job.
This is His gift.
Getting the position was enough for me.
No more wishlist.
This gift is huge.
I am fulfilled.

But it doesn't end there, I was wishing for a 50mm lens..the package would cost up to 7k..then I was praying for this second hand item,that is almost new. If its for me, it can wait until my payday.

After 2 weeks..I got it half the price! :)

God is extraordinary.

Then on my birthday..some of my wishlist follows..bag, shirts, chocolates.

This is my new year celebration of His favor and goodness in my life.
God is so good, He have plans for us.

Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Just hold on to His promises and completely entrust your life to Him.

After hiatus moments while working,
(under the amazement of getting over on His mighty move)

I created this blog.

This uncontainable feeling should be shared.

This is HIS story.

GreenJoy

Affordable and tasty pizza is what Greenjoy provides to their customers. Their radiant ambiance and chillax place is simply delightful. They exclusively offer thin-crust pizzas so don’t worry about gaining carbs because you’ll burn it easily. Prices range from 55-275php (depends on what kind and size of pizza you will choose). They also offer burgers, french fries, tacos, hotdogs and pasta dishes. If you like to visit this place, I would recommend the most-frequent-ordered pizza “Super Greenjoy”. It’s a thin-crust cheesy pizza topped with ground beef, thinly-sliced mushrooms, embellished bell peppers, and pineapple tidbits. Yummeyy! And the grand size is only 275php. Believe it or not, we finished the whole pizza in 6 minutes!
I’ve known this place since we moved to Lagro, Quezon City way back in highschool. The place is just beside the known hub of Shawarma lovers called TriMo Shawarma store. Turn right and you will find Inasal Chicken with unlimited rice. Also, the popular Isawan and barbecue stands are just around the corner. Truly, Lagro Fairview is a food haven for food trippers and wise spenders. :)

Hey June!

" The flowers starts to bloom..

Cocoons became butterflies..

End start of life.

I didn't realized I got here here so soon.

Graduation day is the most perfect day to make a deep sigh.

A sigh arise from positive emotion called relief., while your mind saying  "sa wakas!" with a smile on your face.. It can be also a gesture of  "speechlessness" and giving it all up to God. :)

Graduation day is merely not the end of our sacrifices, its the start of the true race of life.
