Sex and the City

i don't know about you, but this movie made me cry. it's true, love could be illogical at times but when do u draw the line?

well, i guess part of the reason i cried was i could relate to carrie's pain. of all the girls there, i'm more of a 'carrie'. just like her, i find it hard to let go. didn't she love mr. big for years?

i'm a sucker for happy endings and reconciliations. LORD, please give me a happy ending with u-know-who. ;-)

going back, i think the movie's a mature version of the series. some scenes were kinda draggy but all in all it's a good one.

What's my Power Element (whatever that is!)

Your Power Element is Metal

Your power colors: white, gold, and silver Your energy: contracting Your season: fall You are persistent (and maybe even a little bit stubborn). If you see something you want, you go for it. You have a lot of strength, and it's difficult to get you down. Very logical, you tend to analyze everything going on in your life.

What's Your Power Element?

someone so fragile...

i feel my heart breaking for her. if i could just take the pain and bear it for her, i would've done so.

this could've been the right moment to say "i told u so!" but i know i shouldn't. i know she's hurting, though she didn't shed a tear while we were talking, i could feel her pain, her anxiety and all.

just take care of her, GOD. i could only do so much. YOU're the one who's in control, U know what's best for us... always remind her of that, please?

saw her

i was at this mall last friday, scared that i might run into him because that's his favorite mall. but instead of seeing him, i was side by side with the girl that i was jealous of (for no reason at all) at the ATM queue. coincidence or God's sense of humor?

good thing she doesn't know/recognize me, so i had the chance to really look at her good. she's really pretty which makes me wonder why he won't go after her. they'll be good for each other; same profession, little age gap and they're both europeans. well, only GOD knows.

heard from him yesterday... funny how the busyness made me forget contacting him for more than a month already. he updated me of the number change and all.

last saturday night, my friends and i checked in to a hotel to give one of our friends (who's getting married on the 28th) a bridal shower. we spent the whole night talking, singing, eating and just having fun. then we went to church the following morning. we should do it again! :-)

discrimination

i know that Christians will be persecuted one way or another but i still got shocked when the discrimination came from a friend. i didn't know that she dislikes Christians that much. she said that she'd rather hire people from other religions than hire a Christian. her reason? she doesn't want religious talks at work and she said that Christians have this tendency to think that they have the right to say what's right or wrong. if she despises Christians that much it makes me wonder why she always comes to me for advice.

i really feel bad about all these.

In the Presence of My Enemies

just finished reading "In the Presence of My Enemies" by Gracia Burnham, though her account of their experiences in the jungle's really heart wrenching, what really touched my heart was her love for Martin, her faith and trust in God and her forgiving spirit.

i wonder if us Christians will keep our faith if we're in that same predicament and will we be able to forgive those people who had caused us so much harm and pain?

and during those times of captivity, gracia realized that your true nature will come out once you're stripped out of everything you hold so dear.

what's really in my heart, LORD?

too much info

though i'm enjoying my work there are times when it feels like i'm having information overload already, like today. but things will be lighter after wednesday next week. can't wait for that to come! but we're gonna miss j.r., he won't be with us anymore come next week. he has this certain charm that makes everybody like him.

what else is happening to me? i've been asked by someone what will make me feel special, i didn't answer because i honestly didn't know the exact answer to that question... but a thought came to mind just tonight... i think one of the ways that you could show me that i'm special is through your being CONSISTENT. you have to walk the talk.

yeah, i require a lot because i am willing to give as much.

i kinda feel bad because a friend's already leaving tomorrow and we didn't even had the chance to meet up and do something together. i know that i haven't been around much for her but it's different this time because she's leaving and won't be back for a long time. GOD knows that i will try and make time for her despite my sched but it seems she got mad about something that i don't even know of. i tried contacting her and all but she just won't reply.

well, if you're reading this... i don't know why u got mad at me. i replied to your text message when u asked me what day/time i will be available for the following week.i'm not sure whether u got my reply way too late or u didn't get it at all but i sent u numerous text messages after that one. i also tried sending you messages through Yahoo! but it won't let me. you must've blocked me or something.i even called your house but your mom said you're still in bed. you see, i did what i could.

so i was really hurt when u sent me that forwarded message about giving up on someone. what have i done wrong?

have a safe trip though. praying for you still. Ingat!

BOOKS!

i am overwhelmed! today i received a generous gift/s from a friend. i was given not just a book but 30 pcs of books or more! my eyes almost bulged out while reading the titles, they're all good books and expensive at that. wow, what a blessing! now, i don't know what book to read first. my library's expanding, so happy about it:-)

enough of my books... i had another blissful day. i went to the worship service of course and as always my soul's been restored. our pastor spoke about the 23rd psalms. i know that psalm by heart but it's good to be reminded of what a SHEPHERD does to HIS flock.

anyways, after the service i had lunch with the choir people and proceeded to the hospital to visit my friend's dad afterwards. he has stage 4 cancer, but you won't see any sadness in him, in fact he even made us laugh....a lot. and he shared to us the goodness of GOD despite everything that's been happening to him. i was inspired. we stayed there till 7pm and really had fun. some people from our church's choir were also there and they sang and that's very comforting.

parted ways with my friends around 7:30pm and went back to church... that's where i received the gifts! ain't GOD gracious! :-)
