badminton ++
haha... for the first time in 2 weeks we have been beaten 4 times in a row without a comeback!
it's me and my aunt vs my mom and my uncle. It is quite scary when my uncle is in the front line of the court. We will definitely get a rebound with smash hits for my high and yet weak enough hits as I have to strike the shuttle from the back of our court and im not even a power hitter for that matter. My reflex actions are simply stunned. LOL.
anyway, it was fun in a way, it's just next time whenever my mom wakes me up at 6:30 am, I should make sure to drink some green tea or coffee to wake myself up. My arm is complaining of pain now, but at least it is more or less getting used to the pain.
-------
i don't like going out even if it's for shopping but here I am, out again because I will have to accompany my mom in this 4-hour long seminar. If not for the free snacks Im readily half-convinced not to go (well... as if I had a choice not too). But anyway, I hope I could get something from this! =P

poverty in the Philippines is severe.
this morning while I was about to take a bath I heard a loud "ayo" (a form of knocking in our dialect) and the whole house was quite. My mama said there's this big-bodied beggar who comes by the house everyday. Reminds me that he is the guy I saw a day before and I was too lazy to get up and getting disturbed while watching a good show on TV. He was a stranger after all. What bothers me though is that it is
"good to give to those who can't return it to you". But to a really big guy with a bulging tummy? I dunno, I feel like whatever help that is given to him all goes to his tummy and his personal gains like good clothes and all. I remember him wearing decent clothes when he came knocking at home (i was partly home alone then). Easy money for him... and I thought of possibilities... what if that guy gets mad and all??? and then this reminds me again of what Michael shared with us before,
"nobody owes you a living".
And now I got two contradicting phrases...
In a way both of them are agreeable no matter how different they are. Yet, one cannot live with those two together! Geez... I also could not find the middle of the two because you can always the other extreme to contest your actions.
hard hard.
i wonder if anyone knows what answer is the best for this...
or should I just use my own intuition?
hmmm...

=)
I failed to appreaciate something which I should have done ages ago...
Lord, thank you for the wonderful experience with the WIN Cainta short it may be. It was short and sweet. It's the kind of experience that I would surely miss, and while leaving the sanctuary in lavender with Kor, we thought of moving on because we have this don't-want-to-leave-now feeling. It has always been a wonderful experience to meet people who serve the Lord, feels like you have met your missing family member. =)
And to someone who thinks my blog is radical for posting Christian-related things. I do not care! You may be important to me and even if it hurts when you alienate me then and there, I would just not care anymore and treat such treatment from you like bubbles, they come fast they disappear faster. They do come back again but just like bubbles...not worth my time. i will end it here.
to the da-bomb twins who worship the Lord faithfully, keep up (although I have a feeling it is close to less than 1% you will be reading my blog).
to the tall 15-year old girls who thought Im also 15, thanks... haha... ok... just keep on growing in the Lord!
and to Jami and the pogi John (sadly younger than me :P ), keep up! you guys are doing good.
and to the rest (sorry we did not get the chance to mingle long enough), keep up too! you guys make me proud.
Christians can be cool too. and you guys showed that to us all =).
thanks thanks!
my course
electrical engineering sure got a lot of fields to focus on!
and it is pretty tedious to check the schedules of the ones you like and put them together in one semester... haha... as if i actually like them! all i could say, they sound doable for me! LOL
and to my minor... what am i going to do with you?
away from acads:
anyway it has been fun playing badminton against really good players and with really good players ;).
haven't found a good church in my place (in replacement of where i go to). I always forget to check possible addresses when i go online... but last Sunday, i was simply amazed... the particular church service that i attended has been ministered by the youth... and as an improvement, at least now i could understand what the minister has been saying and he at least got me a little interested with his sermon... that is a good start! i was planning to speak to him after the service but shyness got me first...well, not exactly... more like it's a hassle but it would be interesting... will attempt this coming Sunday!
tomorrow, im going to where i was born to accompany my mom in claiming my brother's corrected birth certificate... now this is what I call a hassle, one, i will have to spend for my fare, two, we aren't going there to tour! haha... but i will see big waves and get to travel 20 hours in the bus... now aint that a little adventurous? i will also get to accompany my mom to my birthplace... i guess it has been more than 10 years since the last time i was there :P
God bless our trip! =) oo nga naman, nasa kamay naman ni Lord ang lahat. I shouldn't be nervous and all =)
and to my bf, hello!
haha =)
it has been a year
it has been a year
but Davao is more or less the same...except that G-mall has extended some store chains in front and I am still about to find out what happened in the sourthern part of the city...
there are already 1.4 M people...has increased from the 1 M I know!
and uhm... family?
my clan has abandoned playing my fave game, but anyway they are in to my other fave game... badminton!
i gave a thought about it, even though it is rather more expensive (have to pay for the court as well aside from the easily beaten up expensive shuttle cocks that my aunt buys) you can enjoy it with at least 2 people... it is hard to get people nowadays, and so a handy game like badminton would do the trick of exercise and fun... btw, my aunt and uncle have gone healthier and for the first time in 4882346 years, i thought my mom did lose some weight! i think i sort of shed off some weight too because i get to control the amount of food I eat here... makes me feel great that I eat good food! hahaha...
last night, i happen to sit in front of the tv (so sorry me not a big fan of tv nemore), and watched the news...
i was saddened.. the world is not getting any peaceful by the second. =(
hay Lord... your coming seems to draw closer na talaga with all these tumultous signs showing up!
pero Lord. You allow these things to happen because you have in mind greater things of which we currently cannot fathom...
bahala ka na...
and to my bf, hoy magparamdam ka! =P
home!
even if I got delayed*stayed int he domestic airport for 10 more hours
IM HOME!
thanks Korinna for all your help! wav u :)
waa... long day at my uncle george"s wake/burial
we went straight there after i reached the airport so i only reached our home like tuesday night
but i had some fun although i was dead sleepy--> imagine 2 consecutive sleepless nights before reaching home
that is all, im sort of in a hurry
well then
enjoy all!
i love you rohit!
and most of all
I LOVE YOU LORD!
my world is spinning
read michael's blog...
and literally
nahilo ako sa post niya.
kasi naman it was
my lie that resulted to such a long post.
i told him i was kidding, but he nvr believed.
I'm starting to agree more on whoever said "you will only get what you are looking for". so there.
i guess that taboo word was something that could stop michael from asking me that same question after ~2 months.
and really
it made my world spin
it's the innocent Rohit who's blamed after all for the lousiest thought-process I've had in mind.
sorry.
i digress, THANKS MICHAEL AND ARTHUR FOR COMING. I DO APPRECIATE YOUR PRESENCE.
THANKS KAREN FOR INFORMING US ABOUT U NOT COMING EVEN IF YOU WANTED TOO. =)
paiseh.
i must pack na
it is 2 am...
sigh
im so
deadbeat
grabe
im also drunk of tiredness and frustration
I had a wonderful time of worshipping the Lord today
even so... even today isn't a perfect day as you can see.
but I still thank the Lord, for the challenges that we face, such things make us stronger and better individuals.
let the world know
that i love my Rohit =)
heee...
Im not really excited to go back home... At first I was, but after I found out about my uncle's death... It's sad. But like I said before, that's life.
Let the Lord do as He wills, he knows the bigger picture... as for me, I have got a limited viewpoint.
In time maybe, the Lord would show and use me, and play some part in that picture...or am I playing now?
hmmmm....
but anyways, I love Rohit. and the Lord knows that.
my blog vanity
one of the reasons why I added some extra country tracking in this blog is because I wanted to know if this person missed me so much that he reads my blog once in a while to check how I am doing. For the record, after 2 weeks, it is but nought.
it is annoying when he says he misses me, and then goes for a party and never checks my blog. also, it is annoying when i call him on the phone and he hangs up because he is still driving (i rarely get the opportunity to call him for free and he hanged up) and never checks my blog. it is also annoying that he emails me only when I get so much irritated with him and yet never checks my blog while he is online.
and the most annoying part ever is that I still love him even though he doesn't check my blog.
---geez...im starting to get utterly unreasonable here. but how could a prince make a princess wait and never checks her blog?
hahahahaha....
okay... shut up ibs.
-----------
anyway... thank you Lord for today, i have learned some new things.
oh there's something about black people that is quite appealing! is it their charisma or just their accent? hahaha... we had a speaker from Dubai today and yes, he was appealing (in his sermon that is) ^_^. but if you ask me, he has delivered his sermon well, and I liked how it was done... in the end i said to myself, "no doubt he taught Pastor Butch in Haggai"....
so cool...
news here and there
i bet most of us has gone through times like wallowing in the universe of dreams and then suddenly life slapping us in the face...
well... not exactly.
was gloomy this saturday afternoon for reasons that was uncertain of, i thought i was just cynic and a noisy environment just too much for me. not that I did not eat proper lunch too, subway is filling for me, but rather i don't feel like eating. I thought something in me has gone amiss and I was sorry to the Lord for being grouchy...and not enthusiastic about dance practicing.
at least in the evening i felt better when my sister called and i ate some good tasting jap meal--> TORI Q!
the news struck me when I was on my way, my aunt sent me a message that my other uncle died 5 pm. Im just sad. I think he is the fourth sibling of my mom that died. Our clan is getting older, there are newcomers and leavers. I'm getting used to it a bit but you can't help even with a slim bond with that person, you feel sad. Somehow too, I am relieved, at least that uncle of mine is finally freed from the torments of his weakening body. hearing alone how life goes by for him every week pains me, and so this event can be called a "breather" in a way. I just hope that his wife (who loves him dearly) is well prepared for this situation.
I pray too that the Lord will take good care of him, his family too.
haize...
my cousin is also getting married! waaa... supposed to be happy but obviously there will be mourning. sigh...
and yeah... my niece got a 0.8cm hole in the heart. =(...poor little rianna jasmine... =(
sigh... i have so much to pray for but i haven't been a good Christian. =(. I guess the only two things I can hold on for now is God's love and grace. =)
-------------------------------
ON THE HAPPY NOTE
KORINNA'S BACK! welcome back!
sorry wasn't really as jolly as I should be because of the news I've heard, but I am happy you are back safe and sound...me hoping you get well soon too... =)
