It’s my Birthday!

One of the important dates you will always remember is the day you were born. Today is my birthday! We had a lot of visitors from work, friends and family. I was the one who prepared most of the main courses. My sister cooked pancit and made the salad. I did the rest.

My friends and co-workers arrived first during lunch. They were almost 30. I was sorry for them since they had to share the small table that we have. We have little space since it is only an apartment comfortable enough for 4 people. TL Michelle and TL Julia brought me a sterilizer and a pillow set for my Cedric as gifts. Maureen, who is one of my floorwalkers before also gave Cedric 3 pairs of cute neat socks. I am thankful for these gifts. I am sure they will all be useful. Then my family from Guadalupe arrived. I am also happy to celebrate my birthday with them. My father-in-law said the prayers before we ate and they also sung a birthday song for me.

I am thankful to my parents for this day. Most of all I offer to the Lord what he has blessed me all these years. I hope he will continue to shower me with the blessings.

Jesus Take the Wheel

Jesus Take the Wheel is a song by Carrie Underwood. I often hear this being played in a cab on my way to work. At first, I was only interested about the music. The next time I heard it, I realized it was a story of faith and act of submission to GOD’s grace and love. I hope you love the message. I will be posting a video as soon as I know how…

She was driving last Friday on her way to Cincinnati
On a snow white Christmas Eve
Going home to see her Mama and her Daddy with the baby in the backseat
Fifty miles to go and she was running low on faith and gasoline
It’d been a long hard year
She had a lot on her mind and she didn’t pay attention
she was going way too fast
Before she knew it she was spinning on a thin black sheet of glass
She saw both their lives flash before her eyes
She didn’t even have time to cry
She was sooo scared
She threw her hands up in the air

Clash of the Titans

Perseus in the 2010 Film

Perseus in the 1981 Film

Just watched Clash of the Titans yesterday at SM Cinema 3 in Cebu City on a 3D Theater! We were one of those who came in last so the theater was almost full we have to sit in the rows nearest the big screen. It is not nice to watch it that way since you won’t be able to see the whole action considering the screen is like all over your face. But the film was nice. I was just a little bit dissappointed since I did not think the story would be different from the one I saw when I was in my elementary years. I thought Andromeda and Perseus were meant for each other just like what I saw before but it was not what I expected. But for my husband, there is still justice to it since Perseus being a demigod couldn’t take a mortal for a wife. The movie is nice but there is nothing much about it as a 3D film. I did not see much of a 3D effect. So for those who have not seen it yet on big screen, watching it in a 2D theater would just be fine.

April is here!

It’s April already! I am excited about a lot of things this month! First, I am expecting we’re gonna have a summer outing in our company. Hopefully there is enough budget for it. If I am excited about it then the agents are too. If we will not have it due to economic crisis then the TMs have already thought of PLAN B. We’re gonna have our own team outing. However, we have not decided when and where yet. Second thing, I am excited about this month is my birthday! I am going to be celebrating my 29th birthday this year. Is this something to be happy about? Well, it is but no! I am happy I will be turning 29, additional experience and lessons and of course I survived through thick and thin. But what is there to be anxious about? … I am getting old. That is it! I am getting old and it feels like I have not accomplished much. I have a lot of things to do but there is so little time. Anyway, life just doesn’t stop here. I know I have regrets about not being able to do things that I love to do but I am more optimistic now. I am now more on looking forward to what I can do today and tomorrow. I am more excited about my little baby boy. This is the most exciting month for me as I am looking forward to giving birth to a healthy handsome baby boy! I couldn’t wait for May to come!
