happy weekend [again ^_^]

last friday, kuya don and i went to st. joseph, at the wake of kuya ian's dad. i missed talking to kuya ian and so i didn't miss the chance to chat with him. as expected, i gained something out of our conversation.

on sinning, changing, and becoming a better you: people often use this excuse for their shortcomings, "tao lang ako/i'm only human". and i admit, i have also used this a couple of times before. but i was enlightened by kuya ian's words. "Pag sinabi mong 'tao ka lang', para mo na ring minaliit ang gawa ng Diyos." oo nga naman. we can't really say that "we're JUST/ONLY humans." because we are God's creation, in His image and likeness. we cannot be "just/only humans", because our Creator is God - wise, perfect, amazing. ^_^

and because we (kuya don, kuya ian, aiza) missed each other, we can't let the night end without taking pictures. hehe.

on saturday, mae and i went to SMX Convention Center for the 29th Manila International Book Fair. but before that, we had lunch at Red Ribbon, MoA. nakakatuwa lang kasi unlike our previous date, tawa na lang kame ng tawa nung sat. at na-enjoy na talaga namin yung food (dapat lang naman kasi mahal yung pagkain, dapat sulitin. hehe.)!

dami naming nabili sa Book Fair pero pinaka-importante ang aming bagong Bible! wohoo! saya saya! ^_^

from SMX, tumuloy naman ako sa aking bagong tutorial. whew! umuwi saglit sa bahay para magbihis at kunin ang mga kelangan kong dalhin sa CLP, tapos pumunta na sa Rosario Church. tsk. tsk. ever since i became part of SFC, yun ang 1st Lord's Day na hindi masyadong "naramdaman" ang presence ko. sumaglit lang kasi talaga ako dun para ibigay ang mga dapat ibigay. sobrang pagod na rin kasi. when i got home, nag-ayos lang ako, nag-pray, nagbasa ng bagong Bible (yey! ^_^ i read Sirach 1.), nag-share kay mae, at natulog na. pero bago pala yun, i received a text from a brother which says, "sis, busy ka ba? hindi kasi kita nakita sa Lord's Day. hindi lang ako sanay." oh well, ako rin naman hindi sanay. [sigh.]

best sunday ever! i attended the feast with mae and with my whole family! yey! so happy. dumating din mom and ate ni mae so na-occupy namin yung isang row dun. hehe. saya saya lang. at mas natuwa ako ngayon kasi nabasa ko ang blog ng aking kapatid. (http://lovetoscream.multiply.com/journal/item/7/people_of_cross)
^_^ tama siya, i'm gonna blog about it. pero baka mamaya or bukas na kasi i have to leave in a while. tutorial uli. naisip ko lang, hindi kaya ako tinatawag magturo? hehe.

after the feast, i went to MoA (again) to meet with Marshee and Binoy. na-miss namin ang isa't isa! kaya lang, sa sobrang daming napag-usapan, hindi na namin nakuha pang magtake ng pictures. puro daldalan na lang. haha. but we all enjoyed the Book Fair (yes, bumalik uli ako dun. at nandun din sina Ate Jing at Kuya Don). Marshee was so happy kasi she subscribed to Reader's Digest tapos she got so many free stuffs. how i wished may P1500 din ako that time. hehe. pero malapit na yun! wohoo! nakakatuwa pa kasi may nakilala akong SFC from UP. ^_^

yun lang. really need to go. i have so many things to share pero next time na lang uli.

God bless everyone! ^_^

got this message this morning (thanks wewe!). medyo late na pero share ko pa rin: "Every morning, leave all your worries outside your gate.. because that's where they pick up the garbage. Seize the day."

at eto pa, last na bago ako umalis. hehe. daming hirit. salamat iho sa message na ito. ^_^
