How Will I Know?

Many man claims to have unfailing love But a faithful man who can find? Love is an action not empty words Yet people would fall for anything That shows a promise for eternity But is it it’s all for convenience? Or am I really seeing you now more clearly? For how can you understand eternity? When you are unsure of your security You needed my assurance consistently Yet love always hopes, always trusts and always perseveres And who am I to judge you if God is the lawgiver Still I will say yes to you as long as He says it’s over Since God is Love and He says go, Him I will follow after all

Thank You for coming into my life this way

You are everything I hoped the “giant” would be You are kind and thoughtful in every way You did secret deeds I never recognized ‘til today You listened to me as if there’s no other day You looked at me with a smile that says, “I care” Thank you for coming into my life this way Amazingly you express your love to me all day What a joy, what a privilege, I feel light, I feel great! I appreciate every single minute with you and every single day God is so good to have allowed this friendship to stay At the surface it seemed we are opposite in every way Unknowingly we collide and differ in our taste Yet for some reason we chose to go past the surface Because deep inside we know, how we truly cared You and I just jibe and hit it off right away Despite my questions and hesitations to open my heart I look for you and believe in you without a doubt I realized that this is how God so loved us- That while we were yet sinners, he died for us I know for a fact, you are my assignment I’ll pray f

Anticipating the Great Reveal

It was the oddest of time when I first met you It was the oddest introduction, nothing special too If not for the outstanding deed you pulled out You constantly distinguished yourself from the crowd Unassumingly you are gentle, witty and kind You speak of things which I strangely care about For now I am evaluating carefully If the time is ripe you will say it confidently You are a rare breed and seasoned by time I wonder like me, did you wait for 'The One'? In so many things we are so much alike For some strange reason I like who you are Well, I recognize my taste is uncommon It's not the outside attraction I usually envision But looking in your heart so full of compassion I know very well that day - we'll carry on... Anticipating the Great Reveal I don't want to preempt but I sense it is near I pray that He will make it so clear I know you won't waste time, you'll claim me 'my dear'

Sonnet LXXXI

During life's lulls are lessons unexpressed but of colors and lines From that stillness, you'll know more of Him.... Sonnet LXXXI - narrated by Andy Williams and Julia Roberts And now you're mine. Rest with your dream in my dream. Love and pain and work should all sleep, now. The night turns on its invisible wheels, and you are pure beside me as a sleeping amber. No one else, Love, will sleep in my dreams. You will go, we will go together, over the waters of time. No one else will travel through the shadows with me, only you, evergreen, ever sun, ever moon. Your hands have already opened their delicate fists and let their soft drifting signs drop away; your eyes closed like two gray wings, and I move after, following the folding water you carry, that carries me away. The night, the world, the wind spin out their destiny. Without you, I am your dream, only that, and that is all. ~Pablo Neruda ( http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-lxxxi) (from The Love Poetry of Pablo Nerud

A Kimpossible Feat

It was a week when we were faced with the toughest of situation. It’s the 3 rd week and our team lead Norvic would be in Singapore for a family wedding. Aileen, our master props head director and Mike, our afternoon team lead won’t be available as well. It was kindda scary at first because our heads won’t be there. It was like an Impossible Mission. But God showed up because it was all about Him. As long as there are people willing to do his work, he will be there to bless the work of their hands. Everyone rose above the call of duty. Richard became more efficient than ever and so is Cendy who became the overall Administrator together with Vivian. Both alternatively danced and did admin. Vivian even brought the house down with her adlibs when she did the Villainess Shego part for pm services. As usual, Benj was great Drakken and so are the morning professional actors JC and Franco. Harvard of team 2 portrayed Ron and gave a very lively performance. It was not my first scr

Ain't really the type who make friends because of position. I treasure friendships and just love to shower them with affirmations with what they can be specially with Christ in them. Amazingly when I reviewed my friendships- most of them were agents then. Unknown, simple, haggard because of graveyard shifts. Yet I found gold in them. Most of them are now promoted after a year or so and the most wanted in our account. Some where doubtful in the beginning but I have an eye in recognizing greatness. In time, these people emerged to be the cream of the crop. Kat - is now an ADMIN. We were hang out buddies back when she was still an agent. Til now she has remained a friend. Chuck - he never became my direct report but we became friends back when he was an agent. Now, he is one of the most valued service nesting supes because f his tier3 expertise. Elmer - was my direct report prior to sales. I saw him flourishing there because of his jab skills. Less than a year, I joined him in t

(special thanks to Wood for his palm artworks used on this entry from his Prayer Series where he used Pocket Artist to create his masterpieces - http://woodaf737.multiply.com/photos/album/ ) I am growing and flourishing in my work too. Matter of fact, too much that I need to rest because I have been working 16 hrs daily including sundays for more than a month. The management is just too happy to give me one week leave. But then I am praying for a p romotion-anywhere, anyplace God will open doors for me. So far, during my vacation, I am realizing a lot of things: 1. We need rest so we can be more productive. 2. We need to enjoy our work because it is a gift from God. 3. All things changes and we live in every season. 4. To enjoy life, work and the fruit of our labor is actually a gift from God. 5. Since I am happy with my work, I am enjoying my team and I am enjoying my fruits, then I am blessed. - we may have other longings for the future but to be able to enjoy what you have now is

Marco’s wedding was simple and yet very memorable. Personally, I never attended a civil wedding and this was my first- my brother’s. I actually like it because it was simple, not expensive and we still had a sit down celebration with few close friends at The Room Upstairs in Reposo (the place to be for VCF singles on Saturdays). My mom and my dad were married civilly and although Marco and Jen will have their church wedding in Spain when they go back there, I wanted my own to be in the church or in a garden. It just felt like I was in a teleserye than an actual wedding because of the courtroom setup. It was an unusual crowd as well- David Bonifacio as the sponsor (youngest ninong I have met), Donita Rose as one of the sponsors too and for a minute there was laughter because the judge had to admit she was her fan. William and Tanya as the other sponsors (William has been with my family in all important occasion for my brothers). It was still a spiritual family gathering as a matt

Setting Sun

I had this conversation with a co-worker about sunrise and sunset. I used to love sunrise because it depicts hope and a promise of a new day. I was opened to the idea of the sunset’s beauty because it is romantic and it means soft lights, orange horizon and very dramatic. Since then, I never looked at sunset the same again. Lately, I am contemplating on Life’s Seasons. It is possible to miss out the purpose of today’s season if you are caught up in your future (next season) and your past (last season). And since nothing is permanent in life but change, seasons are sure to come and go. But God would always be faithful to guide us through every change and we get the purpose for that season from him alone. I see a different season unveiled right now before me. And sometimes, just when you are having so much fun at present, you don’t want to welcome the change that is about to take place specially if it means people you dearly love has to exit your life because they too need to follo

Here are some of the nesting pictures mostly from the last batch. The last batch was like a breeze and a holiday. We didn't feel stressed and they outperformed the last 2 classes and ended rank#2 in all nesting class history. I also included a couple of pictures from the first batch who holds the record of rank#1 in all nesting history for this travel account. My agents would love this! (From L-R: Peer Mentor Kristine, Trainer Joyce, Peer Trainer Minette, Supee Moi, Nesting SupeTin and Mege Peer Mentor) They are my powerhouse cast that made my every nesting successful - Kristine, Mege, Minette and also from my other nesting batch - Chie. You guys are amazing!
