Dreamed About You
Twice I saw you in my sleep. I know I haven’t thought much about you lately, but for those two nights I saw you again.
You were on your usual mood, happy and wacky. But I noticed the peace and control that you have. The serenity I longed to see in you, and I was so glad to glimpse a moment of it.
Last Friday, I was reminded of God’s power on Ami Ortiz’s miraculous healing and recovery. Inspite of the explosion he suffered, he was perfectly restored and healed. While hearing his testimony I can’t help but think about you. Will you still be with us if we prayed the same way as Ami’s dad prayed? Will you still come with us to wherever we plan to go? Will you enjoy it bonding more with us, with me? But at that time, all I can do was to embrace your mom who was crying hard too.
I thought the flow of tears has stopped, but I was wrong.
Peth, I still miss you…

The Simple Things Just Are
I’m the kind of person who appreciates the simple things, well though not often verbalized, but I do love those simple things. The chirping of birds in the morning, the bright moon at night, the fireworks from somewhere, an unexpected short note from a friend, butterfly kisses from my nephews, warm embrace from loved ones, surprise visit from old friends – these are the simple things.
My former officemate, Nixon, never fails to surprise and touch my heart every year. We were not that close when he was still in the company but his simple ways of letting you know he still remembers, is what I appreciate the most. And though we have not seen each other since he transferred to another company, our communication is left open.
Based on the “love language test”, receiving gifts is not on the top of my list (this doesn’t mean I don’t like gifts, I love receiving them too!) and though Nixon doesn’t know this, he gives gifts when Christmas comes. The gifts may not be extravagant but they keep me excited every time I see his name on the card. Without opening the gift yet, I know that he touches my heart for always remembering. Somehow he manages to drop by or send the gifts to us girls (I assume that only the girls get these gifts, haha!) which the women termed it as “EFFORT”. Even if he is as busy as we are, he still finds time to shop gifts for us (Nix, or is it your wife who does the shopping? Hehe).
And for the longer time, I have managed to still keep his gifts on my table.
2005 – the red soccer-stress ball (hmmm, I haven’t used this yet. I’m afraid that I won’t be squeezing it when I get stressed because I might throw that ball to someone. Hahaha!)
2006 – tiny doggy toy (one hand is always on a high-five pose)
2007 – peach-dressed clown (with a lovely smile)
2008 – cellphone bag (this one I keep in my other bag, for I am still using it not for my cellphone but for my Ipod shuffle, hehehe)
2009 – very colorful and cutey paper clips (this is my favorite so far for they got my colors!)
Nix, now you need to think what would be your gift this year! Hahaha! More than the gifts, thank you for remembering and for keeping in touch. Hope we could go out one time with the rest of our friends here in Cargill. God bless you and do take care always.
And the simple things just are…

The Year That Was
While most of the people were happily celebrating the new year, I joined the rest who silently sleep and decided to quietly let the old year pass.
I have a lot in my mind as I start this entry but eventually chosen not to write them all. I could say that I started 2009 on high, and if I’ll base the year’s ending on my own, sablay. Fortunately, what matters most is my relationship with God. Inspite of my rebellion, Jesus committed to love me all the days of my life. I am secured.
Year 2009 was filled with so many unforgettable moments. Laugh, fun, hurts, pains, lost, kilig, excitements, disappointments, frustrations, surprises, adventure, love, tears, and so much more – all these I have experienced. Some may have been avoided, but all things happen for a reason.
It was a good year though for all areas in my life, and I’m looking forward to a better one this year.
