To new friends and new adventures

I have not been very visible anywhere on cyberspace lately. I could give the typical excuse of being busy but I would be lying if I did. The truth is... I just didn't feel like writing anything. Oh yes, I wrote articles for work. But that's another thing altogether. Different motivations, different results. Or maybe I was just simply being lazy... I think that's the most likely reason. I'm not really very eager to delve into it right now. :P

Well, here I am now... trying to squeeze out something coherent from this lately seemingly airy head I have on my shoulders. I guess I'm still on that cliched "adjustment period" and so pardon me for the confusing prose.

Anyway, I now have a new job. Yay! I just celebrated my "month-sary" last October 20. I can't say I have fully adjusted, I doubt I ever will. I was never the sociable type, so having to always be nice and friendly to strangers is a huge challenge for me. Not to mention, most of these "strangers" are quite newbies to the English language. I have a suspicion I will forever feel out of place. But then I've always prided myself for my so-called "courage of spirit". So don't worry, I will not be flying the white flag anytime soon... I think. Hehehe.

By the way, out of all the upheavals I've had the past few months, I've gained some nice things, too. Well, it's always nice to gain new pals. And these pretty ladies certainly fall into that category.

The Real Deal about Truth and Freedom

For the past few weeks, I have been fortunate enough to stick to the routine of reading a verse from the Bible every morning and reflecting on its message. It has been wonderfully enlightening, to say the least. Last Wednesday, this was the verse that greeted me when I opened my Bible app... If the son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. ~ John 8:36 To say that I was stunned is an understatement... but then, I shouldn't have been. Ever since I can remember, whenever I'm struggling with some ethical or moral dilemma, I always get an epiphany of the answer. In my youthful pride, I thought "Wow, I'm brilliant." Not knowing it was not actually me but God who was guiding me to the answers. It took me a while to realize this and thankfully when I became an adult, I did. This time was one of them. You see, I was struggling. Four months and still counting, my father and I have been forced to endure each other's company for weeks on end. Outsid

A blessed month... this one we call January

Many of my friends and some of my family were born this month. I do not exactly know if they were born on gloomy or sunlit days. But I do know this, my world has been made more beautiful because they were. More specifically, four of my most favorite people in the world were January babies. *Bella Dona* (10th) She is one of the wisest and kindest people I know. She has both been a staunch supporter and chastiser in my world. She transforms into one or the other from time to time, whichever I need the most at that time. And she is among the first to turn 31 in our batch this year. Hehehe! But never you mind, Don. 31 is just a number. What matters is that your heart is in the right place. Right? Right! :D *Lovely Lola Natang* (25th) She was my first ally ever since I came out and greeted the world with my annoying baby cries. She was the one who first took care of me when my Mama immediately went back to work after my natal day. And she was always the first to enthusiasticall

Another Food Blog

Yes, I'm writing for another food blog; only this time I'm getting paid for it. Great gig, right? So for my friends out there, please check the said food blog... that is if you have any time to spare. (Click on the title or the cute pink cupcake.) And no, I'm not forcing anyone to read this. That would be beyond arrogance. Even I know I'm no expert on writing in general. But since the lady boss is happy about the articles, I'm pretty content about the whole thing... despite doubts. (And yes I'm aware of the contradictions in those statements. Moving on!) Hehehe.
