introspection.


@iamsuperbianca: i think 2012 will be a year of introspection. time to re assess and think about life plans...

introspection: observation or examination of one's own mental and emotional state, mental processes, etc.; the act of lookingwithin oneself.



introspection. i like that word now. every new year, i make it a point to reassess and reevaluate my life and determine what changes i am going to make for that year. last year, also did that but i still don't have any courage to pursue the change that i want for myself. this year, it's still on my plan but opportunity came earlier so i grabbed it already to make way for that change i am craving for so long.. 



this has been my inner talk eversince i've decided to change my path and i want to claim it already. this is gonna be cool and i'm sure i will learn so much from it.

the future is really scary, i admit, but with God at my side, nothing is impossible, right? i'm just keeping the faith and i know that all things work together for good so i know this decision of mine has a blessing from my Father in Heaven. i know He will guide me the whole time so i'm in good hands.. :) 

this year will be really, really hard - emotionally and physically, not to mention scary... but this year will also be awesome. it's time to get out of my comfort zone and the challenges of being alone. as the cosmo magazine puts it, "independence is sweet." it's time to explore so many places i haven't been to and it's high time that i get to realize every small and big dreams i have in my heart. 



as i face the unknown future, here are my armors to take:
"Suppose I had wings like the dawning day and flew across the ocean.
Even then your powerful arm would guide and protect me." (Psalms 139:9-10 CEV)
 
"We know that God is always at work for the good of everyone who loves him. They are the ones God has chosen for his purpose." (Romans 8:28 CEV)
 
"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." (Jeremiah 29:11 NIV)

Miranda Cosgrove - Kissin’ U 
Sparks fly 
It’s like electricity
I might die
When I forget how to breathe
You get closer and there’s nowhere
In this world I’d rather be
Time stops 
Like everything around me
Is frozen
And nothing matters but these
Few moments when you open 
My mind to things I’ve never seen 
Cause when I’m kissin u my senses come alive
Almost like the puzzle piece I’ve been trying to find
Falls right into place 
You’re all that it takes
My doubts fade away when I’m kissing you
When I’m kissin u it all starts making sense
And all the questions I’ve been asking in my head
Like are you the one 
Should I really trust
Crystal clear it becomes when I’m kissin u 
Past loves 
They never got very far
Walls up 
Made sure I guarded my heart
And I promised I wouldn’t do this
Til I knew it was right for me
But no one (no one)
No guy that I met before
Could make me (make me)
Feel so right and secure
And have you noticed I lose my focus
And the world around me disappears

I’ve never felt nothing like this
You’re making me open up
No point in even trying to fight this
It kinda feels like it’s love… 



I ended my 2011 sharing beautiful moments with people so special in my heart and started my 2012 with a happy heart! So it means I'm a happy and peaceful girl for the whole year! Yay. :) 


More kwento soon on my Holiday escapades. I'm a girl on a cloud 9 right now. Soooo happy!! :) :) :) :)

GO at least once a year to a place you have never been before.





This year, I did exactly the same, thrice. :) ♥ 


Hopefully this 2012, I can start traveling outside Palawan. I wanna tour the whole South Luzon, experience the food and the people as well. I want to widen my horizon and I want to get away from my comfort zone so this year, I really, really hope to travel more.


Please, Lord. Thank You in advance. ♥

sabang experience!


last friday, i was really lonely, as in i was really down. after i posted my last blog entry, i don't know what get into my system but i just stayed silent the whole day of friday. it wasn't my typical behaviour and yes, maybe it was because i'm tired of my routine? so that night of friday, i asked God to take away the burden i am feeling that time. He never did that night. so i just went to sleep, still lonely. 


the next morning, i'm ready to face another day and i decided to move on from yesterday's feeling lonely. and so i received an invitation to go to sabang... you know how much i love to travel, right? of course i grabbed the opportunity! it was a free vacation, how cool is that?! God really is the best. He knew i needed this vacation to just think and commune with nature so He gave me this. how awesome really is my God! ♥


although the weather is cold and rainy, i enjoyed my stay there nonetheless. i had plenty of time to just unwind and not think of work and responsibilities.


it was a nice feeling. :)








so i went home happy, at peace with myself, kinder, gentler, and eager to work again. the kind of feeling i had two years ago when i'm still so excited about living my life and looking forward to so many great things that will unfold right before my eyes. saya. :)

Saved in Order to Do Good

1 Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good, 2 to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and always to be gentle toward everyone.

3 At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. 4 But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, 5 he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, 6 whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life. 8 This is a trustworthy saying. And I want you to stress these things, so that those who have trusted in God may be careful to devote themselves to doing what is good. These things are excellent and profitable for everyone.


My silent moment/devotion with the Lord last night have these passages in the Bible. I was moved by the intensity of what God wants us to do as Christians. It made me realize that we have big responsibilities for our actions and the way we handle ourselves with other people around us. Then I realized I'm not so gentle and considerate anymore, that I get really impatient towards everyone who are so slow to talk and think. I realized, too, that my kind of work had left me jaded and unkind. I'm not the same anymore. I am jaded already? At this early age? I've still got a long way to go and it feels like I'm getting tired already. So these realizations made me really think of taking charge of what I really want to happen in my life. Next year will be now or never so I will really make all my dreams happen. Jesus never saved me to be unhappy with my life. He wants me to have eternal hope and to do good to others so before I get really burned with the things that make me sad, I'm breaking free. I'm now sure of this. I can do this. We can do this. Just thinking about this big decision I am going to make makes me happy now. It only shows that what I'm planning is the right thing. So dear Lord, I know You'll always support me. So thank You in advance. =)

Anyways, while I'm reading my Bible last night, I heard Stacie Orrico's Everything and it made me think, "uy sakto sa akin to ah. :P" The song is full of hope and faith towards the plan of God in her life when it comes to the person she is going to marry. It's like she really trusted God in that area of her life and I want the same for me just like everybody else. Nakaka-inspire. :)


Nagpapaka-soft na naman. Yihee. =)







Stacie Orrico - Everything. ♥

I said a prayer
That someday I would find a boy
And together we’d find joy
Maybe someday
And he would care
About the color of the sky
About the things that make me cry
Maybe someday

And if it happens this is what I’d say:

And I will give you my life
Together we’ll make it right
And I will say to you
What is for sure
That I’ll give you my world
And baby I’ll be your girl
And I will say to you
Everything I have is yours

I wonder if
If God has shown him
He is the one whose gonna marry me
Maybe someday
So, I’m gonna wait
‘Cause I’m worth waiting for
And what I’m worth is so much more
For that someday

And if it happens this is what I’d say…
Movies I am so looking forward to watch this 2012. ♥































I hope to watch them all in the cinema already. I'm so excited. =)
