Can't Keep My Hands Off

Seriously, since I got my phone back, I couldn't keep my hands off blogging. I'm actually supposed to be asleep by now. But I can't help it. I'm just so happy. I bought a memory card and now I can stock up on all the Christian songs that I can listen to. I'm going to try to download a whole bunch while we're at Laine's. The Katinas have the most awesome music. It's incredible. I need exposure to more of these songs, helps me pray every night. Again, dear God, I want to thank you for everything you've given for me and for my family. You always provide and in the little ways, we are able to survive. I am thankful that we don't have anything bad to worry about for the moment. Please bless us and grant us your grace so that we may do things for you glory. Now I understand why a lot of people scoff at this idea: it's because they don't know what they're missing! So goodnight everyone! This for now, more for later!

Getting Back on Track

I'm so happy to have my phone back. I've been blogging from my email, and if anyone checked my personal blog, they'd also see a blooper which is when I mistakenly forwarded my blog to my own email, and then forwarded it back, causing my personal email address to appear. In any case, things have been so crazy! Just recently Jackie's dad passed away. He was feeling really down after Jackie passed away; he was very heartbroken, and I know it hurt us all to see what he was going through. I know it must be hard on the family; doubly hard on tita. well this for now, more for later. Got some texting to do..

At a Loss for Words

So I'm expected to write this speech for my best friend who passed away over three weeks ago.  I'm supposed to say it at her funeral.  But the truth is, I don't know what to say. After accepting the Christian Life, I have no words of comfort that might help anyone who knew my best friend.  Well, I know that she believes in God, and she knows there is Jesus Christ.  But does she know that she was supposed to ask for forgiveness for her sins? Did she know that it might do her good to read the bible? To pray? To believe that she went to Heaven or she was accepted by the Father? I'm no expert in the Christian Faith. I'm new to it, and I'd like to do everything I can to secure myself to make sure that I'm ready when I'm called. In the Christian faith I know that you must accept Christ as your savior (however that's supposed to be, I still haven't figured out if that means I realize that Jesus Christ is my way out, and I've got to do everyth...

Silent Treatment

I think we could all use a form of Silent Treatment.  Not the kind that you give to someone else.  In fact, the kind where you don't think at all, don't speak to anyone, don't accept feedback from anyone.  I think this is the best kind of treatment one could find to help themselves get over troubles that they're going through. I could sure use a lot of Silent Treatment.  Especially right now.  I don't want to think about the recent program that our company tried to implement which was supposed to help the business financially in the long run, and which trundled upon our morale in a big way.  I don't want to speak to anyone about that program, and I'm afraid that if I hang out with someone, I will have to speak to them about that program.  Please, please please spare me the agony of having to understand why you feel cheated, when in fact, you are going to get something at the end of your stay here? It's very unfair to everyone who won't be able t...

Talk About a Million Stress

It's so tiring what they're doing to us. The company offered to let most of the agents go on the promise of paying them a voluntary retirement package.  That's all nice for the agents because whether they take it or not, they will still receive it when the company says they can go. But for the team leads, it's a different story. To begin with, only 8 team leads can avail of the package.  Anyone else who wants to go can go by resigning.  It's so painful because they dropped the bomb on us by saying that whoever wants to avail of the package may avail of the package, and they're not going to limit it just because we've gone over the required number of people. The next day, they tell us, no we can't let everyone go. We can only afford to make 8 stay.  Well, right now, I'm the eighth. And the more painful part? Someone who needs it more than I do ( i need it, too, and she needs it just as much, if not more)  won't be able to get it. Tal...

The Real Challenges in Life

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Cynthia Maipid < cmaipid@gmail.com > Date: Tue, 20 Mar 2012 18:30:33 +0800 Subject: The Real Challenges in Life To: cmaipi.ondgo@blogspot.com I learned in a retreat that I attended that the Christian Life is not a life of fun and games. It is not a bed of roses. It is a battlefield. Man, is that ever true. This I know. I am currently encountering several battles. The biggest right now is my husband. My husband is Christian. He is what you call a backslider. See, I'm Catholic. I don't know what approach to take in helping get back to God. But I was told that prayers work wonders. I haven't been praying properly, I admit. And now is the time that I must learn to do that. I am afraid of that the time will come that my husband and my daughters will not be saved. And so I need to pray for them. I vowed to attend church every sunday and even that is becoming a struggle. I must think of a new way to fix my schedule in such a way ...

Because I Can

Well, yes, I'm not blogging because I have something to say, actually I'm just blogging because I can do so. Anyway, I got up today pretty hungry. Considering we had lunch at Tramway. The food was awesome, but I was able to have only 2 courses. Next time I go, I'm going to make sure I get a dose of everything! Oh, and I'll be wearing a big shirt! You know, for emergency purposes. I'm still pretty sleepy right now but Tyrese woke me up, saying that she was hungry. So I had to go and cook some rice. Which by the way I realized that she did not wake me up for food originally. She woke me up because she pooped. well, i'm just waiting for the rice to cook so I can eat cause I'm hungry, too.

FINALLY, IT WORKS!

FINALLY it works! I have been trying for the longest time to post this on the web. Now I have finally achieved the dream! Thing is, I tried blogging on Opera.  But for some reason, after three days of uninterrupted posting and updating  my life story, my account had been blocked.  I have no idea why.  Although from the very beginning, it was like joining an exclusive sorority.  Like an exclusive sorority /fraternity, you are given the goods on a silver platter to sample.  You get real fast connection. In the event of an error, you can go back and your post wouldn't be deleted (unlike some).  That's majorly my concern  in posting from my mobile phone. Well, when I discovered Opera blog, I thought, why shouldn't I try it? Besides, I am itching to post something. Anything. and so I did. So like I said, I was posting free of any problems. On the third day, apparently, my blog was disabled for posting inappropriate, vulgar pictures which I...
