hubby downloaded the old tv series (i mean old, like i remember watching before reaching the age of 10!) that kuya randy and i used to watch before. if im not mistaken its in channel 4 that its being shown before. the series is titled - Beauty and the Beast, and the theme song of the said show is "The first time i loved forever", which i absolutely love.
anyway while we were watching the start of the series and i was telling hubby that that is the reason why i love the said song, he just blurted it out all of a sudden. he said why dont we get married next year, well in the vernacular of course. and all of a sudden i find myself out of words.
yeah im truly excited. and then he had a disclaimer saying that it's not the actual proposal. hehehe so i guess there's more to come.

Encouragement
yesterday i came to work and there seems to be a lot of things happening. a colleague of mine cant finish her load for the day and somehow i feel partly responsible. although in weighing things, i could say that i'm not even at fault. but then again, i feel bad that i couldn't help.
basically i was tasked to update the calendar that we have - training calendar that is. that includes the class roster and the officer's certification and re-certification dates if applicable. i am religiously updating that. on the other hand i dont go along well with MS Excel so i have difficulty updating the snapshot or the passing rate per class (i hope they can come up with a way to automate that in the future). now she is looking for the percentage rate and at the same time she needs the total number and percentage of officers who certified out of the old module and i dont have that data since i came on board only july of this year while she's been the trainer for 2yrs now. likewise, i was never told how to do it. although it seems sophomoric, i never really had a sit down session when i was told that this is what im suppose to do and how im suppose to do it. its not that im defensive (well it certainly sounds like, i know), its just that when i consider all those things i think that i really have no fault in that. she's not blaming me, in fact she remained nice. i guess im just guilty and paranoid.
when i got home yesterday, hubby felt my sadness. i was just too tired to tell him all about what happened that i said im just thinking of a lot of things. made me smile though that my husband is so attuned to my emotions that he could tell right away without me verbalizing it, which reminds me i need to post something else in regard to that.
this morning, when i came to the office i was given a little down time by God that the trainee i'm supposed to certify at 4am did not show up. i decided to open my personal email and this is what i found courtesy of my good friend Theyie.
Rejoice evermore, pray without ceasing,
In everything give thanks, for this is the will
of God in Christ Jesus concerning you

oh Lord please calm my restless soul and grant me contentment.

txt message from God
it was a slow part of the day of a particular work day in the office. i suddenly thought of browsing through ipams. then i found this really enticing job post. its for an executive secretary in the UAE and the pay is minimum of USD $2000 to a max of USD $2500. i got so excited that i decided to apply right then and there trying to justify whatever inner ramblings my heart is giving me at that time.
i went ahead and clicked on the buttons and filled out the information requested piece by piece and then the laptop froze. so there i wasnt able to apply.
when i got home i tried it again. and then when i was just about to finish it, the pc went kaput!
i called my dad to be my sounding board. apparently he doesnt agree with it. posing questions like to whom will i leave my son to and other things.
and as if i could not take a clue, i still went ahead and applied. despite all those things. then i went to bed. after probably a few hours, i woke up to the vibrating of my cellphone. and then i found this txt message from ate amee - kuya randy's wife.
Often, we get impatient and take things into our own hands but God said, "Be quiet, trust me. I know your needs better than you do. Just wait and give me a chance to work."
i was really stunned. God really speaks to us now in plain language. no more signs and enigmas. just that!
so there i took that plain and simple!
I'm glad i do have an awesome God!

TGI Friday!
Well there goes, first and foremost I'm grateful that its Friday once again. Which means i'll be able to spend time again with my boys - my son and hubby.
Had a great time today. Went to kuya Randy's house in the morning to bring the little things i bought as pasalubong for ate Enang and Tyong Cesar. We had a sumptuous lunch - kare kare, pansit canton (too full to try it out), lechon manok and lechong liempo. had a great time catching up with my cuzin, ate Enang via skype. They were all in awe of my Nathan, said he's so pogi. Ate Amee - Kuya Randy's wifey, said Nathan looked like he's a three year old kiddo when they saw him.
This evening we had another hearty meal at Sisdang in Dampa at Macapagal Ave. Kuya Randy and Ate Amee had the following dishes cooked for us (after they bought all of it from the wet market outside): sinigang sa misong Maya-maya, Tempura, Shrimp in sweet chili sauce, Crab in Sweet Chili sauce, baked Mussels, Sweet and sour Maya maya and Green Mango ensalada! We're filled to the brim! hehehe and then had a singing session with the rest of the gang.
Oh and wait, the other day, the Lord cleared off my debt at Standard chartered bank! I paid it in full, best of all the money used to pay off the debt is also a blessing. Plus there's an amnesty program that when you pay then, you could pay it 50% off. Great!
I pray that we get to clear off these loans real fast. =)

gratitude post
i know i said ill be consistent. but well, laziness gets the better of me every time. i have a list on my actual planner though on what are the things that i do thank God for. i'll blog about the other things listed there next time.
anyways in as far as i could remember these are some of the things that i really do thank God for.
oct 21
picked up hubby from work and greeted him happy bday. was really happy that he had a happy bday. turns out his new team - management that is, came up with a surprise for his bday. they bought him a yummy red ribbon cake and they announced his bday to the entire floor. he's very happy and contented now with his new program.
one of the days in between (forgot what date hehe)
my mom went home from her home town and gave me this fab charm bracelet watch from my aunt (her elder sister). and that's just the watch that i wanted. im not specific about the brand nonetheless i always find myself looking a such type of watch whenever we pass by a watch store. and i didnt even pray about is so imagine my delight upon seeing what i got. on top of that i got a victoria's secret body lotion and a simple top for a casual day. ^_^
yesterday upon going home, i dropped by meralco to pay our electricity bill. then before boarding a jeep going home, i saw a watch repair booth. since i have the watch that carmi sent me some months ago that needs adjusting, i asked the elderly man manning the booth how much it will cost. he said P20. so i did not hesitate anymore and gave him the watch so he can measure it and adjust. after the procedure, while he was fixing the part he took off on the bracelet, i saw this dark blue oblong shaped stone. i then asked him what is that. he told me its a semi precious stone. then he said since i like stones, he will give me one. he then took one small round container, its the one that comes with camera films. he took out a rectangle shaped stone that is really beautiful. he said he'll just give it to me. so i was shocked. i asked him if he's sure. and he said he is! he explained that when he sells gold he normally takes off the stones. and wow he just felt like giving me one that day! he is a very ordinary man - well with that i meant that he doesnt make fabulous money with what he does. on top of that he is disabled. im not sure what happened but he's sitting on a wheel chair. so i was humbled with how big his heart is. and so i thank God for people like him, who despite the difficulties they encounter in life, are still capable of giving to others.
when we got home yesterday, we we're half step in closing the deal of selling tito tony's house. =) which means i can now buy a simple car for myself. yey!
then last night im grateful that hubby drove me to work and before going to work we had a date. we hanged out at starbucks in corithian hills and tried to catch up with each other. we hardly get to do that anymore and going out with him provided the much needed lift i needed that night. (dunno but for some unknown reasons while we were driving from the house i was so sad that i did cry. good thing he didnt see it but well i told him anyway.) after having coffee we checked in a hotel and made passionate love to each other. thank God for
