A not-so dreadful Thursday

My Thursdays are always deadly ever since the second semester started. Having three majors a day, 3 hours for advance accounting and 3 hours of law plus 1 ½ hours of finma, it was too much to handle. But yesterday Thursday was different and I felt superblessed. =)

I received my first 100 in advac. I badly needed that one because my grades are terrible. At least for now, my average went up a little. Finma as always, wasn’t that stressful. Ma’am jackqui is really one of the best professors I ever had. She never failed to amaze me. And atty. D. , he did not conduct a recitation yesterday. Things just got a little off the hand when sir llave got angry and asked atty d to give us a quiz on our second meeting for that day. But atty d is very considerate and gave us the example he gave us as our quiz.

It was JPIA’s testimonial dinner last night and sir Joseph of P&A talked to me. He texted me this morning and asked me if I was still available and he’s inviting me to be an ojt there. Weeh. Instant ojt! And I was really overwhelmed and flattered by the things they told me last night in our meeting after the dinner. I had an unplanned night out with my friends in Timog. It’s been a while since the last time we talked like that. I really had a great time conversing with them talking about life, school and love. I got home around 3am. =)

I really don’t know if it’s about my perspective on things or if it’s about my relationship with God that I see things a lot better right now. Everyday, I really feel superblessed. I guess God really blesses his children and everyday, He never failed to let me feel how much He loves me.

My 2009 is starting on the right path. I hope that this will continue. Superblessed. =)

Keren's Yearender Special

It’s not yet the last week of the year but since I’ll be busy in the next few days and before everyone else starts blogging and reminiscing about their own drama this year, let me start mine…

Bfr and I described this year as EXTREMES. I really thought that 2008 would be a good year for me. Since it has 8 and for Chinese, it means good vibes. Well I guess it’s not applicable to me since I’m not Chinese. (lol) It did bring extremely happy moments, but it also brought the saddest ones.

As much as I wanted to tell everything that happened to me this year, this space would not be enough. So let’s just summarize them as the TOP 20 lessons I’ve learned (relearned) this year…

1. God has reasons for everything. We may not understand it now, but in His own time, He’ll reveal everything. We just need to keep our faith in Him and trust Him.

“That in all things, God works for good to all those who love Him, those whom He has called according to His purpose” – Romans 8:28

2. God gave you friends to show how much He loves you especially during the most difficult times of your life. Nurture the friendship. Love your friends. (I love you friends!)

3. Love your life. Seize the day. Live your life to fullest! Live to love! Leave love.

4. Family sometimes falls apart when the one who puts it up leaves. =(

5. Everything is just about perspective. We must always see things on the brighter side.

6. Feel it, then let go. There’s no sense of holding on if it will only bring the worst of you.

7. First impressions don’t last. Allow time to work its way to know the person better. They have a lot more to offer. Just learn to open up a little.

8. Trust your gut-feel. =)

9. The people that you look up to are not perfect. They all have their own mischief. Just respect them for who they are even if it will shake your beliefs. (waah)

10. Idealism brings peace. It’s just that people love the norms more than what’s ideal.

11. You’re the pilot of your own life. You make your own choices. You must take control! Don’t blame the people around you nor the circumstances. It’s not their fault. Take responsibility for your actions.

12. Don’t put the blame on the girl, after all, it’s not her fault. It’s HIS. (diba???)

13. Procrastination loves your time. Don’t indulge too much or it will eat you.

14. Distance will never ever be a hindrance to a real friendship, ACCOUNTING will. (waah)

15. Girls are hopeless romantic. Nowadays, they prefer vampires over ordinary men because vampires know what FOREVER really means. (Lol)

16. You may always find someone new but true love will lead you back.

17. Trusting entails a lot of patience and practice. It can sometimes break your heart. =(

18. Sometimes, you need to eat your pride just to make someone stay. Or if they don’t, at least you know now how far you can go for love. (Lol )

19.Letting go is harder done than said. But moving forward is the hardest part of all.

20. It takes a great courage for one to stay and wait. But it takes a greater courage to walk away from the person you love dearly. Walking away doesn’t mean one stopped loving. It means that one’s tired of hoping for something that will never happen.

For all the tears, heartaches, ranting, laughs and smiles, 2008 was EXTREMELY EXTREMES.

I survived the wild and crazy ride of my 2008. I hope you did too!

Happy Holidays! =)

happiness

Thursday is happiness.

Friday is more happiness.

Saturday is most happiness.

Sunday is real happiness.

I never felt this happy for the past few months of my life and I hope that this feeling will last. I know that happiness is a choice. But having things to be happy about gives a different story and more happiness.

I’m happy. Really. =D

superblessed sunday

Worship like there's no tomorrow.

Some people find it weird and unusual seeing people lifting their hands while singing songs of worship to God. But for me, that's what you call life. I'm a charismatic. My parents are members of the Light of Jesus Community for 24 years now and since I'm only 20, I basically grew up in the community.

Worshiping God is my way of thanking Him for all His blessings to me. And the privileged I had last Sunday was amazing. Three worships in a day: 2 during the K Con and 1 during the Katinas Concert at the dome. I was superblessed and He surely rekindled my faith. :)
