Welcome 2015


Two days to go and we will say sayonara for the year that was (2014) and say hello to the year will be (2015). 
It was indeed a whole lot of a year. For me it was all a humbled experienced before God and before men through all experiences that thought you a lot of things, Things about life that happen through the series of events that you and I may have been through this year. Experiences that make you laugh and cried. Experiences that makes you even more stronger and braver through all the lessons that you learned from it, a lesson you can bring with you to face the uncertain future ahead. 


oftentimes when you think about the future it's kinda scary, cause you don't know what lies ahead, you dont know what you expect or what will you face, you dont have anything but your self and thinking about it makes it even more scarier and feel more vulnerable, makes you feel weak and for a person like me who always want to be assured and secured makes it even more harder.

But when look back of what have this year 2014 thought me of? is that future always accompanied by uncertainty, of questions that can only be answered as you live your life through it, of things that may have been out our control until it hit you big time. 
But future is given to us not of a burden but rather more of  blessings, a second chance to prove ourselves, a new beginning, a fresh start, to answer the  questions like  what may have gone wrong? or what is lacking? Or what I have missed? What I should have done or did not do? Future is given to us to re assist ourselves, makes plan and make ourselves ready and God will determine our steps for way better year than the last. 
Personally, 2014 for me is  preparatory lesson for each of us for something big to happen. I can't say that I am ready now and that I am stronger and wiser but rather my mind is open to all possibility for all the best things and especially the worst. I still feel afraid all the time for whatever worst to come and I still feel vulnerable at times but I thought to myself that whatever happen in the year 2015,  whatever darkness of uncertainty ahead  I'll just say a little prayer and believe that prayer no matter short, long or elaborate it may sound, so long that you believe and offer it God with all your heart, mind and soul God will be with us every steps of the way.  

Prayers always work and answered at the right time and in God's perfect plan. Let us all face the year 2015 with great joy, excitement and anticipation that everything will just be fine and full of blessings, wonderful things and new lessons to learn and most of all another year wiser, braver, and happier. 

Happy and prosperous New Year everyone!!! 

To God be All the Glory

Christmas Madness


image

The wind is much much colder and the feeling of Christmas is definitely on the air. Guess there no stopping now for the most wonderful day of the year to come where everything is festive and the since of excitement is magnified.
Yes folks! its true cause wherever I go now I feel the rush of Christmas in every corner of the metro. The bumper to bumper traffic everywhere as if every living person in the Philippines is outside commuting or driving their own vehicles.

image Last Tuesday I went to SM north EDSA to meet a friend and guess what..? it took me half an hour for me to ride a bus and that's because of the traffic jam that most of the buses is stuck in some part of EDSA and people is stacking up as well waiting for next available bus and when it does? As if those sweet people turn in to MONSTERS just to get a ride and go home. Hahahahaha who can blame them? their just
 simply wanna go home.  and even if you have enough budget to get a cab so you can get relaxed mode of transport?  you wont believe the long line and there was no taxi available. Sigh!!! Indeed traffic jam in these day of the year is 10 times worst than the regular days.....
Also when you get to the mall wow!!!! That's the only thing that you can say people are jam packed in every corner of the mall... all of the restaurant are full, even those small once, the department store is full as if people is panic buying and who can blame them? They have all the means to do so...thanks to extra money coming from the 13th month pay and bonuses. Guess that's one of reasons why people love Christmas time where money is seem so abundant.

But no matter how worst the traffic jam is these days or how tiring to get to the mall and buy what you need to buy in preparations for the Christmas parties and exchange gifts? or how busy we can get let is not forget what really Christmas is and that is to be THANKFUL to our LORD GOD of all the blessings we got and for other chance of celebrating another Christmases with our love once, our family, friends, relative and  somehow in one way or another we can be a blessings to others....

Lets just pay our blessings forward

Merry Christmas everyone and prosperous New Year to all of us.
