Suffering the Consequences I did it! I did it! No one but me. It was me who did it! I did what I did and here I am suffering the consequences. I know the consequences but I still did it. I was so bold to do it. Now I am suffering so much. Not only me but my family and friends. I surrender my life to Him. He who has created everything. I will turn to Him and I will turn from my evil ways. So that I may be saved. This hell is so hard to bear. I don't know anymore my way out of…
Give me wisdom, I'm lost Lost in my own self. Lost because I am ignorant. I don't know anything. It seems I am nothing without You, oh, Father. Give me wisdom, so I may know what to do. How to battle my situation. I know that you will give me protection because you are my Father. I am afraid. But why should I? You are with me, Father. You love me. I am precious in Your eyes. I thank You for answering my prayers. My heart has been so heavy. I was so afraid. I was so ignorant.…
While you can, prepare While you are able to, do what you are able to. Do the necessary preparations, the necessary procedures, the necessary precautions. While you can, do all these. Do not wait for the last minute. During the last minute, not only the adrenaline will work but also all other parts of the body. Worse is when the heart and the butterflies in the stomach are involved. It will give us great stress and anxiety. When rushing things, we have the tendency of acting…
Thankful I can't believe I am enjoying the day doing house chores. I usually frown upon these things and that I always think that I have better things to do but now I have joy doing house chores. I turned the music on then I washed our clothes even though I was beside the washing machine. I was handwashing. For some reason, I don't like anymore how the machine washes. But after rinsing, there, I used the spin dry to remove excess water before finally hanging the clothes to…
Memories My daughter repeatedly plays the song 'Memories' on YouTube. The version where many kids are singing, there are also those who are beatboxing, those who give second, third, fourth voice, and many more who give flavors to the song. I was also very amazed by the effect of the song when I first listened to it few years back. Until now I still really can't believe that I am able to enjoy lazy moments, listening to the song that my daughter repeatedly plays. "Now my…
What does bagoong make you do? What does bagoong make you do? Me? It makes me gather weeds near our area. I cook the weeds (veggies actually) then I use bagoong as my 'sawsawan.' It's delicious and very Pinoy food. Sometimes, I go to my sister-in-law just to taste her binagoongan vegetables. She makes good combination of bagoong, little vinegar, then the other condiments that she knows how to cook. Sometimes, they invite me to their house because they know how delicious I…
Enjoying the Day at Home Hi! Have you ever wished that you will somehow find yourself working at home instead of doing the normal thing? It happened to me that while I was wishing to work from home, the pandemic suddenly happened. I never wished for the virus to affect the world but in some way, it became the reason for me working at home. It is really sad to have this situation especially when we hear of loved ones losing their lives triggered by this virus. My heart goes…
Hide and Seek Why do we seek for the ones that are not with us? And we hide from those that are with us? What I mean is, sometimes, when we have it, we wish to get away with it. And when we don't have it, we tend to desire it more than ever. Life is so good yet it is so harsh. I don't wish to feel that it's harsh but given my circumstances, I am having difficulty with my decisions in life. But ideally, what I wanted to do is to really be serious in evaluating my choices and…
Just keep going despite what you're feeling. Have you ever felt so empty? Have you ever felt like there is no joy in your life? Have you ever felt like you have nothing worthy to achieve? Have you ever wished that you were still in your parents' side? For some reason, I am very thankful. I recently overcame a crisis in my life. But of course, overcoming that was successful, thanks to the help of family and friends. I am thankful for the following reasons: (a) that I…
Stress is inevitable and we have to learn to live with it manageably. I didn't believe before that stress could either make us gain weight or lose weight excessively. I use to be very heavy. I was in a lot of stress and I would eat a lot and crave a lot. I always put on an unhappy face and I wasn't able to recognize the toll that it was giving me. Fortunately, I am feeling better now. My neighbor noticed that I lost a little weight as compared to my very overweight aura. I…
