Something to be Thankful for..

It's been exactly 2 years ago since we almost lost our Dad, our provider. My mentor and my everything. Time flies so fast I did not notice it's been 2 blissful years and every time I remember that dark moment of ours, I wince. I was not ready to experience such agony in my life. All I thought it only happens in the movies but it does in real life. I did questioned God -- his capabilities and why, why will he allow such dark moment to happen to us. Thankfully, he was discreet enough to bless us with wonderful people. The Nuns (Sister Corazon and the rest) who taught us to go back to God, to believe in him once more and to strengthen our faith in him. Sister Stella, the Charismatic group, who also helped us pray to God to heal my Dad and my family. My best friends, Tina, Yani, Choi, Jayr and Kikang who were all there to support and help me get through with it. Who saw me in my deepest time, thank you for the love and support. My Family, my rock and my shield. My shock absorber. Lastly, my dear God who gave us another chance to show my Dad how much we love him and to show him how much we appreciate him, everything about him. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You have been a generous and loving God. We may have disheartened you sometimes but you never fail to show us your unconditional love and still blessed us with so much. THANK YOU.

Before it all happened, my family was in chaos. My sisters and I were not talking to each other and I did asked God to help me bring my family back to him and to bring us all back to each other. And yes, what happened to my Dad was his blessing in disguise. His way of helping me, all of us. His own approach in letting us learn the lessons in life by allowing us to realize it ourselves that in order to find true happiness we all must face the hardships it may bring.

To GOD be the Glory!

Dog tired but Happy

Been a long time my friend. <3 So my schedule has been really crazy these past few weeks and going back and forth to the same place has made me a slight claustrophobic. My body's telling me to rest.. :| For 3 painful weeks we have been going back and forth to Davao and sure am now familiar with the place that I prefer to drive the car on my own. It's been hell. Problems has surfaced regarding our cargoes and I don't know why such people doesn't get contented with the monetary resources they get. (Go ahead and sue me with the new Cybercrime Law. Don't mind. :] ) So anyway, my workweek has started early on. YES, EARLY --  Sunday that is. Flew in to Davao last Sunday to resolve some "issues" regarding again with our cargoes and scheduled to go back to the Queen City of the South the next day at 10:05 in the morning. I was all giddy and excited to go back, though knowing I'd come home with tons of work to do. We were already boarded inside the plane awaiting for take off but then I noticed we've been sitting there for an HOUR and I knew instantly that there must be something wrong with the plane. Lo and behold, the captain has announced that the plane's wind detector is not functioning and they needed it fixed and it will probably take 3 painful hours to have it replaced since it'll be coming from Manila. Oh good Lord. Remind me again why I chose this airline? :|| When we were asked to deplane, I was in a hurry to look for another flight back to Cebu but the last 2 direct flights has left and the other one was cancelled. What a great way to start October. :) Our only option was to take the flight going to Manila and from there fly back to Cebu. SOUNDS SO TIRING. Yes, that is true. I was running around the airport, purchased immediately tickets for the 12:30 flight (good thing it was delayed) When we arrived in Manila, what's funny was that we still don't have tickets yet going back to Cebu and the available flight was scheduled to leave at 9:00 in the evening. Woah. What was I supposed to do with all those free time?! :| No choice but to purchase the Business class tickets from PAL scheduled to leave Manila at 6:30 in the evening. Yes baby, we're flying first class. :) I have been (always will be) a fan of Philippine Airlines. The friendly attendants and the care they give you is of course incomparable to that of budget airlines. Who else is happy to be flying first class than me? With all the comforts it can give, sure am one lucky girl. Indeed tried their yummy arroz caldo and the fuss is right, it is DELISH! So what with all the unhappy circumstances that has happened it was then relieved and taken away by my happy and relaxing flight back to Cebu.


Flying first class baby :)

No salt but still delish. :)
That gloomy weather in Manila. Always like this when I get there.
