moving out!

I've moved to wordpress!

During Santiago's cremation, my mom whispered to him: "Santiago, please help your Tito Jun and Tita Chie have a baby."

A month after, I learned I'm pregnant.

We love you, Santiago. Thank you.

waiting to be bored

Just like what I've gone through with other social networking sites, I am waiting to get bored with Facebook.

But that might take awhile because I love the way it keeps me in touch with my close friends and (most especially) my sisters.

I used to blog a lot, not because I want others to ready my thoughts, but because I've always found it therapeutic to write down what I feel and document mundane things that I do. But lately, I've been on hiatus. I still have my offline journal, but this pinayinsg journal has been inactive for the longest time. And the same thing goes for my other "outlets":

• I haven't read a decent book in awhile.
• I still haven't started on my "next chapter" scrapbook.
• I don't write e-mails and snail mails to people I love the way I used to before.

And because I've always believed in not making "work" your "world", I have decided that, before the year ends, I shall:

• Start the ball rolling on my scrapbooking project.
• Read and finish a decent book.
• Write some stuff on this blog.
• Do some spring cleaning in my hard drive.
• Go on a local tour (i.e. Duck Tours or something)
• Go out and shoot with hubby.
• Send out Christmas cards this week!

Although the greatest challenge would be some of my new projects at work and some other stuff for the Paddle-side, I vow to do all those in the list.

Busy, busy! I like!

Something I learned in 2009

Sometimes, the best thing you can do for other people, is to stay out of their business.

in that haze between sleep and dreams

Oftentimes, just when I am about to go into a deep slumber, I open my eyes a bit and I see you sleeping soundly beside me. Suddenly--despite all the arguments that day brought us--in the haze between my sleep and my dreams, I try to remember whether I've told you today that I love you. And just to be sure, I hug you and whisper my sleep-induced words of "I love you".

You probably don't remember it anymore when you wake up. But just so you know, in that haze between your sleep and dreams, you always manage to answer "I love you, too, Honie."

And that is how my day would officially end.

blogging hiatus

This has got to be my longest blogging hiatus thus far!

I still write in my personal journal but I suddenly miss blogging! I think now that I'm kinda getting tired with FB, I'll go back to blogging again :)

Gosh, ang tahimik sa multiply!!!

Stay With Me

Should my heart not be humble, should my eyes fail to see,

Should my feet sometimes stumble on the way, stay with me.

Like the lamb that in springtime wanders far from fold,

Comes the darkness and the frost, I get lost, I grow cold.

I grow cold, I grow weary, and I know I have sinned,

And I go seeking shelter and I cry in the wind,

And though I grope and I blunder and I kneel and I'm wrong,

Though the rose buckles under where I walk, walk along

Till I find to my wonder every task least to see,

Or that I can do it, pray, stay with me.

Stay with me.
