Imagine ME without YOU

This song touched me deep inside. I heard this one on a video presentation of my friend  Jezreel  on his 21st birthday. The song somehow reached me through my deepest thoughts. There is something about the song that I can't explain and  somehow burst me into an overwhelming gratitude. It was really something -  DIFFERENT . I can't imagine my LIFE without  GOD .  I'd be a lost girl now if not because of HIM, that's why I thank HIM so much for giving me an amazing life. He is the one who gives me strength to face my battles. He gives me hope when I was running out of it. He is still my ultimate savior. As long as stars shine down from Heaven And the rivers run into the sea Till the end of time, forever You're the only love I'll need In my life You're all that matters In my eyes the only truth I see When my hopes and dreams have shattered You're the one that's there for me When I found You I was blessed And I will

Blue Days :(

The past few days, a very shocking and terribly news was announced. I'm so worried and super sad. It was something I never expected, I was alarmed. It occurred to me that this is something not to take for granted. Sadly, the company is facing a storm. I know the nature of my work and I know it's not stable. I am now aware of things like lay off and termination. But I'm blessed that I was retained. It was not easy, I was thinking about it the whole time. I have a good feeling though that I will stay for awhile, but it's a not a reason for me to celebrate.  Some of the people I knew was at the moment of panic and discomfort. If only I have the power to change the situation, I would do it, but sad to say I can't do anything to reverse it. It was meant to happen, it was a call. But It's how you see things in a good and positive way not the dark side of it. Everything has a purpose. The incident happened is just a way of saying there is still something ahead

Feliz Cumpleaños - Happy Birthday! This day is so special for the two "boys" who turns into a lovely "man"..haha! Well,this post is for them, cause they are very close to me. Happy Birthday to Jezreel and Grinly . Both of them influenced me in many good ways.  It's their 21st birthday so it's extra special. I know both of you are grown-up and I witnessed the transformation of your personality. You have now individual priorities in life, you take actions to achieve it , grew more responsible, more mature and willing to embrace challenges to seek development in your life. I'm so happy and bless that God has given me the chance to be part of your universe.   I'm so lucky to have two exceptional friends, the one who I always look up to as a brother and the one I love most as a partner - dear and sweetheart. I wish you both all the best things in life, I asked God to guide you in your journey, more faith to trust HIM and strength to face the

Mackenzie Foy as Renesmee in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn

Image
Renesmee is half human half vampire daughter of Bella and Edward in the fourth book Breaking Dawn. Stephenie Meyer cites in her official facebook page “Very excited about our new Renesmee, Mackenzie Foy”.  The little actress is shown in television series such as Flash Forward, Hawaii Five-0 and 'Til Death. I am excited to see her act, the character Renesmee seems astonishing. I believe the character fits her very well. I cannot hide the feeling of excitement to this fourth film,the fourth book though is more about several exchange of conversation, but it is always striking - for me ^^ . This time, Bella and Edward were married and eventually Bella was one of them - cold ones. What is fascinating is that there are plenty of new characters, though less fights. The Denali sisters, a coven of vampires in Alaska, are closer to the Cullen family. The Denali coven covers Tanya (Buring), Irina (Maggie Grace), Kate (Labow),Carmen and Eleazar are vegetarian vampires like th

Looking Back....

So funny, I always thought that how day by day nothing changes, that everything is so repetitive. haha! But I was completely wrong. Uhmm yeah..I had a very wonderful week-end. I hate surprises but it's inevitable. I was surprised and I felt so blessed. I never expected it nor think about it. I'm speechless. I think hard-works are paid off. Last Saturday, the 3rd quarter General Meeting of Sticky Media with the theme " It doesn't matter if you're black or white ", I received an amazing, unexpected recognition. This recognition is the " Employee of the Month " for the month of August and received a cash of PhP 2,000 (it's a big cash for me -- haha!).  Well if pwede palang ma collapse, na collapse nako sa stage, and I can't remember my message, lol moment.  I'm so happy the following day we had an advance celebration of my mother's 50th birthday!! I'm ecstatic, we're all present in the celebration, super complete

GOAL 101: Sparks All The Way!

The bestselling American writer Nicholas Sparks was born on December 31 1965 (44), in Omaha Nebraska. He has published 16 novels already and six of them adapted to films, namely Message in a bottle, A walk to remember, The Notebook, Nights of Rodanthe, Dear John and The Last Song.  Two of his books are anticipated of being made into films. The Book True Believer soon this 2011 while The Lucky One is expected on the following year 2012. Actually I made a promise to myself that I will buy all his books. I’m a fan of his works. He’s one of the writers I admire. I wholly admire his writing skills, which I secretly desire to attain. Anyway, most of the time I wish I had that kind of talent, how I fantasize to have an excellent writing, which I’m eager to learn. I know I can, I have to be positive all the way to accomplish my goal. All his romance fiction books are ideal, but I have seen those on films like The Notebook, A walk to Remember, Dear John and The Last Song. I haven’
