If only I can recall all the funny and witty conversation I had with Chy, I could have written it all here... She is an amazing 5-yr old girl, that thinks like an adult sometimes. And tonight, this was her prayer:
---
Thank You Jesus for the gift of Life. I love You Jesus.
(this is her normal/memorized prayer... then followed by her personal/impromptu prayer which kinda goes like this:)
Jesus, please keep the people strong and healthy so that they will not die young... like Mami Jo, Mama and Dada...(hahaha! this made me smile..)
Please keep all people safe in the streets, and everywhere..
Please make it sunny day tomorrow.... but not too sunny so that I will not feel hot... maybe a little windy. (hahahha! demanding ang lola!)
I am inspired to take pictures. I am probably a shallow person because what drives me to take more photos are the nice comments I got. I don't do it for money (who knows in the future?!?), but out of passion... so it's for free! Naks! Hehehe. Kidding aside, I would really want to buy my dream cam someday... the Nikon D90. But, I'd rather use my budget first on traveling....somewhere cold and somewhere I can try the Amish fireplaces to keep me warm.
Because when you are at your lowest you appreciate each person you have in your life. Their simple smiles, their laughs, their simple thoughts of you just means so much each day. And I want to appreciate these people everyday in my life and thank God for giving them to me. They act as my protective clothing every time I am pulled down without them knowing.
And everytime I experienced darkness in my life, I always have this fave quote in my pocket:
“I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness because it shows me the stars.” ~ Og Mandino
According to blogger, this is my 1001st post! Wow! I've been blogging for 5 years already and I can't believe I was able to maintain this space that long. This blog opened many avenues for me.... from friendships, home based business opportunities, and different experiences that taught me a lot of things. I am imagining I still have this blog when I am grey and old... Hahaha!
Well, to my readers (if naa), thank you. I know you don't agree on everything that I wrote here, but, the respect you showed inspired me to be honest and stay true with everything that I write. :)
It was one crazy sked the whole week, and it was tiring, but fun. I don't really have the energy to write the details, and sometimes, I need a little push to upload pictures. I felt the oldies' excitement the whole week, and I don't need a pulse oximeter to know that. Sometimes, I get envious... coz I want to feel that kind of excitement again.
I wish I could travel somewhere again. Japan. Vietnam. Australia. Any place that is new to me. I really need that travel therapy as of the moment.
There are better days, and not so better... and during those gloomy days, I wish I am just like those steel buildings, standing emotionless yet so strong. Sometimes, I feel like this one wave of negative emotion is trying to swallow me whole, and I have to remind myself over and over again that I am strong and this road I am taking right now is where I should be to reach my destination.
