a quick thank you. :)

just a quick post to let you all know how grateful i am to my Heavenly Father who never left me all the way. my new life is already starting and i thank Him for all of these. truly, if you just believe you can do everything. i am so happy i'm finally living one of my dreams and i know a lot more will be coming true in the next few days. i am so excited on how i will be able to live my life and reach my full potentials in my new-found freedom. i love everything that i'm experiencing right now, i cherish every moments, challenging and tough times as well for i know this will all help me become the best version of myself. i so thankful to God for manipulating everything around me, for making me comfortable in the new environment that i am in, i know i can't handle all of these if not for His guidance and assurance that all will be better in His due time. 

this blog is a witness on what i really want in life and i am happy to share bits and pieces of information about living the life that was only a dream for me for so long. more accurate and picture posts soon! hopefully i find the time. :)

"where do i go from here?" it is never too late to change things. the thought frightened her as it excited her... somehow she'd been given a chance to start over...  - the choice

3 rejections.. and i know a lot more are coming...

i don't have an impressive resume, i don't have an impressive appearance and personality but i strongly believe i have a powerful God and i know He will help me overcome all the issues i have with myself so i can present myself better with every person i meet along this journey. my life so far here has been an exciting ride. though i've been let down and get hurt by my weaknesses, my inner self is still fighting and i'm grateful because my inner peace never left me. i am comforted by the thought that i am not alone and that i can fight all these fears that paralyzes my being whenever i'm faced by intimidating presence and circumstances. i know i have to experience all of these so i can know how strong i am on the inside and how much rejections i can bear in this life.

so, Lord. please be with me all the time. i thank You for this learning process i am in because i know it will help me in the long run. bless me indeed and enlarge my territories and knowledge..

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. :)
