Clairest Of Them.....All (thoughts of a lighthouse )

"He brought me out into a spacious place ; he rescued me because he delighted in me." Ps 18:19 @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Since its Christmas season, not to say I gained a lot of pounds due to my negligence to exercise, I needed to take control again. Though there is a gym right where I am working, I preferred to stay out of my workplace on my rest days. I have tried brisk walking from my place in Boni Mandaluyong and a few laps to Mandaluyong Circle and at 4AM , I can still breathe the 70% pollution instead of the 30% fresh air. So on this next round, my destination is the Powerplant Rockwell. I wanted to experience the freshness of morning air while doing my regular meditation. Yes, it was an invigorating experience. Although I anticipated that I would need to pass by eye sore sights of the busy streets of Mandaluyong and JP Rizal, going to my destination is enough inspiration for me, plus the fact that I need to loose some pounds of course. So there I go, with my joggin...

One time while surfing the cable channels I heard a preacher said the reason we are looking for other things we think we lack such as: love, comfort, companionship, sex, money, joy is because we are really craving for God and needs God to reveal himself to us as our lover, our comfort, our companion, our protector, our provider. And instead of perverting those desires by looking at other places or people, we simply needs to nurture our relationship with God by asking him to be all of that to us. That strike a cord and a big note for me because sometimes I think those desires are natural but the 50% truth is that, God placed those desires so that he himself would be the one and can be the only one 100% capable to fill those desires. Also, the cause of low fidelity is that people tend to search for those things from their partner or other people which is really really wrong. Let me share to you a beautiful article me cell group leader/ mentor sent me: Dear friends, Here's an arti...

Amazing Grace Amazing grace! (how sweet the sound!) That sav'd a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now am found; Was blind, but now I see. 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, And grace my fears reliev'd; How precious did that grace appear, The hour I first believ'd! Thro' many dangers, toils, and snares, I have already come; 'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far, And grace will lead me home. The Lord has promis'd good to me, His word my hope secures; He will my shield and portion be, As long as life endures. Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail, And mortal life shall cease; I shall possess, within the veil, A life of joy and peace. This earth shall soon dissolve like snow, The sun forbear to shine; But God, who call'd me here below, Will be for ever mine. John Newton @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Yes! I'm out of the CSAT game and I'm now with the sales arm of my account! I am so relieved! Never really imagined how God has wor...

It has been a long time and may take another couple of months before I can add sumthin in my blog. Hopefully that would all change as Im being transferred to a sales account which is less tedious than the flight bookings that can really make the floor go crazy every shift. I am anticipating something good this year or at least before the year ends. I am also getting reunited with my galle friends which I have forgotten for 10 months to focus on my promotion. Nyways, whoever is erading this blog, hang in there because God has a plan far beyond what we can ever imagine and tests are meant not to test God but to test us on how we respond to situations. Well, Dra Joan got engaged as well as Adjeng. Ivy also got married. So that is 3 of my closest friend getting attached. That is the 6th event this year so far after Kirt getting married, Lilet getting married and Rose getting engaged. Ooops I forgot to mention Edel who got married last year as well. I am definitely next hehe. That guys mu...

What am I doing way past 2 in the morning??? I just can' wait but write what has transpired during my absence of blogging. It was a hectic season. Getting promoted is not all that, it means working 16 hours. At least for me it means contending with lack of sleep, challenging agents, unrealistic CSAT (customer satisfaction) surveys, stressed managers and supervisors, harassed agents, clueless newbies, uncalled for reactions of people who you don't know if they want to be your friends or who wants to get the best of you so because they are empty inside and they need some comfort. Well yeah, I did felt like a comfort woman (ha ha), in the sense that people usually find it cozy to talk to me. But ey! It took its toll on me. I hardly had time for godly fellowships, church friends and activities. Sometimes I felt like I have a different world because my job requires 200% of my attention (spiritually, physically and emotionally). People get to be touchy when they are not appreciated a...

"Haggard!!!” that's the common term used in the travel industry where I am now. I never thought that being in a travel account is three times harder than technical support. To think my previous account was the elite group in terms of technicality and highly skilled in terms of troubleshooting. Imagine the combination skills of dial-up, DSL, cable and web hosting rolled into one and yet Expedia.com is such a hard account. True it is more of customer service but the tools we use are highly technical (talk about worldspan), and the policies per airline, hotel and car vendor is way above my head. You need to be highly skilled or highly dedicated to master it. Never worked this hard my entire life although I've worked as QA supervisor but I am able to finish my task. This one keeps on piling and I can't afford to miss work. It's crunch time each time, every time. In terms of emails (200 plus a day), cases to be resolved, customer satisfaction ratings, co-workers, manag...

Walking with the clouds is the safest place on earth. When I say clouds, I'm referring to God's leading, his move, his direction. I'm excited to be now based at the Fort. I have been away from Fort for three years. I was assigned to do back up for galleria in the 9&11 team for two years and one year in the Saturday team. I am now coming back to my home after three years, not that galle wasn't my home for three years because I established and found my spiritually family there as well. I can sense a fresh start, like a newly cut grass that I can lie down. Like a break of a new day. I have a lot of new things this year. I'm moving to a new leadership group because my mentor is moving to Sidney and I'm brokenhearted but we need to follow the cloud, God's new direction. And I know that it's going to be a little awkward but exciting at first. I came from Edel and Richard's wedding and so far it was the most romantic wedding I have been through, actua...
