I'm back...

And so im back…

I guess it had to take a cold, dry cough and sore throat before I even had time to write here again, hahaha! Yeah, sometimes I get the message that God allows me to be sick sometimes so that I could have my rest, a mandatory one, that is. The first quarter of the year has been a very busy one for me. I was doing this extra “raket” at the end of December 2008 which kind of lasted til end-January 2009. It sort of overlapped with this another “raket” which started end-January . My February was a real busy and stressful one. Since we are supposed to finish this “raket” in a month, each day was counted as important one. Each day, I had certain tasks to finish and I had to juggle it altogether with my real job, which is teaching. My March was spent trying to catch up with my backlogs, yeah, trying to check some papers and other stuffs plus I still had to finish certain things with this recent “raket” as well, hehe! And there… boom… I got sick in the middle of this month… hahaha! It was funny actually, because I got sick during this time when I can relatively afford to get sick, hehe!

Despite it all, I saw how the Lord had been working mightily in my life. It amazes me whenever I would look back at the days that had just passed and I would smile… thinking… “Lord, I could not have done these without You.” It’s a blessing to be able to get through the day not worrying that things would mess up the next day because you know that God is with you and He is guiding you on what to do next. Oh, there were times when I would take a deep breath and say “Lord, I would do my best, please control the rest.” There were times when I would sigh and wonder how would I be able to pull this problem through, but right in the nick of time, God is there, sending His angels to help me; and rebuking me as if telling me “I told you I’ll help you.” I am in awe every time God would answer my prayers in ways that is way better than what I could have planned or imagined. Whenever I need to finish seemingly insurmountable functions, God would indeed send the very people I need in order to get the job done. Then I would look at God and say “You do know I need those people, don’t you? Thanks for sending them.” Of course there were still times when I would meet certain disarrays, but then again at the end of the day, I would see that God is teaching me some lessons, working on my character and maybe molding me for what He prepared for me in the future. He knows what I need and more...

Every time the ball rolls, I knew, God is there helping me carry my loads, guiding my path, preparing my trail and yes, teaching me lessons along the way.

God cares. He always does. He never faileth! God loves me! And it’s more than enough reason for me to smile… to be happy… to be just me.

Btw, for those who asked, yes, I was interviewed by Ka-blog, GMA in one of their episodes last February 2009, hehe! I was their resource psychologist on the topic of teen drinking. I never really told it to anyone except my family so to my friends who were quite upset, talagang wala lang talaga akong pinagsabihan, promise. Sabi ng ibang nakakita, kasama din daw ako sa commercial ng show na ito, since di naman ako masyadong nanonood ng tv, di ko nakita ang teaser ng palabas na ito, hehe! But yeah, I did try to find time to watch this show, hehe, and I took picture of it para naman may souvenir ako. Here…


Last year, April 2008, I was also interviewed for an article in Chalk Magazine June 2008 issue. I was their resource psychologist for an article about college kids overpartying, hehe! Yes, again, I didn’t tell it to anyone, hehe! While cleaning up my room, I saw the magazine and I did take some pictures of it, hehe! (oh yeah, I did highlight those phrases that were quoted from me, haha!)
