Devotee

I really believed that things happen for a reason. Though the reason behind will not always come right after what happened. Actually, It sometimes comes late. So these past few weeks a lot of things really happened to me from my work, incident, etc etc. And this really test my faith, then I came to realize that Honestly, I don't have strong faith or bond with the Lord. I sometimes neglected Him.

Then one day, I went to the church and talked to HIM. In the church, I saw a lot of Banners about the newly canonized Saint Pedro Calungsod. I am not always fascinated or I am not a strong believer of Saints. Back in my college days when I tried attending other christian churches, they don't really encourage or believe on saints. But then that day,  I realize that, thats why people with lots of misfortunes or especially poor families back in my home country always look for something to devote not just to our LORD because I think, they feel that saints will guide and help them pray as well to the LORD and free from all these anxieties. This is not about being cult or pagan because we are not offering something like food etc. And that's what my realization now, that why not give this a try devoting myself not just to our LORD Jesus Christ but also to our Patron Saint of OFW Beato Pedro Calungsod. Nothing will lose not even myself.

And now every day I always say a Prayer for special intentions to Blessed Pedro Calungsod:

"My Lord, In your grace you have shown through your servant, Beato Pedro Calungsod, the sublime prize of following you; His youthful fervor on defending the faith that earned him the title to be called Blessed; thus in confidence, I humbly call unto him to pray with me, and to intercede for this urgent favor(make a request) and that through his glorious life I may try to emulate him together with Mother Mary, who have with out reserve said yes to your will. Amen"

Melodramatic

I don't know how to start this post but tonight I am so melodramatic. Actually, it started when I saw the latest video of ABS-CBN Christmas Station ID Song. And suddenly, my tears just rolled down on my cheeks and I was in another world. In a world of Drama, Melancholy and Loneliness that only me and myself would understand. Honestly, I realized that I am the only person now in this world, all my siblings got their own family and kids and that sums up to the people that I have been missing most - My Parents.

Actually when you get old and especially like me that I don't have my own family; I long for my parents companion as well as their love and support. My simple tears burst into loneliness etc. I kept on crying thinking that this buckets of crying will ease the pain or even lessen a bit of what I have been miserably longing. I let this tears keep on falling so I can savor every bit of it. Until it will naturally dries up.

My realization after that melodrama is that actually I have the choice. The choice of being alone for the rest of my life and be with my parents or the choice of joining the bandwagon of what is morally and culturally right that once there is an opportunity of finding someone who can bear and rear a child for me, I will not let it go. Or maybe looking for someone who is the same as me and be partners for life. Either or.

I really don't know what's on my mind right now but what I am sure of now is that getting old or aging alone gracefully is something miserable and lonely. If this is what GODs plan for me then I will accept it wholeheartedly and maybe taking a mission or something helping for the poor in an impoverished country is what I'd like to do maybe lets say ten years from now.  But I guess only God can really tell.

For now the music stops, once again I am back at my normal self and feeling hungry "Kalurks nakakagutom pala mag emote:-) ha ha ha ha".

REUNITED

I have to title this post "Reunited". Why oh Why?!  Because it has a lot of explanations as in to be explained ever gazud. For the past few weeks, I had been reunited with the past like my old friends or old places, etc. It takes a months or years to be reunited actually but seeing them again is a great feeling.

First thing that I reunited again is having fun in WILD WADI - When i use to live and work in Dubai, I have been in this place three times and since there is a promo rate for this fun-tastic place, I have asked my friends to come and join me reuniting again with Mr. WILD (I guess this place is a male hahaha because his name itself is masculine and he takes good care of us ). Well, there is a bit changes of the place actually. They have new exhilarating rides example the rides for two or three people that will twirl the hell out of it! OMG! Superfun!

Next thing  is bonding again with Ate April and Jeff. I considered them both as real and close friends. But due to some unforeseen circumstances things have changed. But still were in contact and keeping in touch. I am so proud of them because they are successful when it comes to career, love and marriage. For almost 3 months I have not seeing them - there still some lose threads but then recently upon seeing them both I am so happy -  They are all contented and grateful. They centered GOD in their lives and that is why I am happy for both of them because I believe that everything will really follow if you have constant relationship with GOD. I'm struggling with this but I am humble and thankful to GOD. 

So what happened during that moments; well that is my story here because its Daddy jeff Birthday, They invited me with a sumptous dinner in one of the restos in Park Hyatt Saadiyat (love the food and everything there) and then we went to Rays Bar in Jumeirah Towers and voila I love the party there so class and so much fun (well probably because of the fact that I haven't partied for a long period of time). We went home at 1AM and I am drop dead tipsy. 

And then the very next day, I went to join them in Park Hyatt Hotel, We went to the beach and then talked anything under the golden sun, but the most exciting part is when we play and catch those little sea creatures kicking and alive. We put them altogether and watch these small creatures run, walk and come out from their shells. What amazed me there is that this is my first time to see these little sea creatures coming out from their shells as in. And FYI, we just found out that these small creatures could not be thrown away easily by current or waves as they walked back towards the sea - their so willfully brave. And after the beach, we went to the their infinity pool. The Pool is so glam that we can't resist swimming or Dipping into it. Arabic Tan lines there you are.  Whatta weekend indeed! 

Thank you Briones Family! Kayo na:-) Siksik! Liglig! Umaapaw!
