Shabbath Shalom

Today is Sabbath, the Lord's Day that He specifically asked of us to remember and keep holy.

People, even born-again Christians do not honor this day as it should be.  Most of them simply overlook this Commandment and reason out that tradition has dictated what day we should honor God.  Their schedule and activities could not be bothered by a Commandment specifically given to us by God.  Their convenience is their priority.

The Fourth Commandment is about sanctification and relationship - Exodus 20:8-11.
God instructs His people to "remember" the Sabbath and keep it set apart for holy purposes to draw nearer to Him. God initiated the Sabbath rest at Creation, blessing and sanctifying the seventh day (Genesis 2:1-3). It's clear He expected continued observance.

i just haven't been feeling well...i skipped gym this whole week BUT i made sure i did my 5-factor fitness every single day at home.
today, jackie lou blanco was at the bsp to give a health and fitness talk!  my friends and i made sure we went and saw her and it was sooo worth it!  she's so pretty and sexy and she really carries herself so well, just like on tv!  :-)  It was just fun hearing her share her stories about family, life, and just about everything else.
i will definitely try wheatgrass AND will try to check her espadrilles shop at The Podium (have been meaning to for the longest time now.)

Off to watching Desperate Housewives (re-run marathon)....  

oops i did it again

Stupid me struck again!  Why can't I just be content and not screw and mess things up?????  Things are going just fine....and I have to act all mushy and cheesy and shitty and now this is what I get!!!!!  If I manage to pull out of this mess, I will make sure to keep my big fat mouth shut!!!!! 

Tell us what fills your heart with gratitude

Dear papemelroti!

My heart is filled with gratitude when I see simple acts of kindness.
When a young man gives his seat in a bus to an elderly or a pregnant lady.
When I see someone share their food and clothes to the less fortunate.
The sight of a newborn baby cuddling up to her mother, feeling so secure in the arms of her parent.
And even just seeing a rainbow after the rain fills my heart with so much happiness.

More than a year has passed

A lot has happened....
I have been liberated from "bondage" since July of last year.
Dj and I have been born again and it is the most wonderful feeling.  There is actually no word in any dictionary to describe it.  Wonderful, glorious, exalting are understatements...but our hearts are so full, that I guess, it's a word to somehow describe it.

The little girls are no longer little.....they have grown so fast!  So with Jonas and Milo!  Grandma turned 91 last October, and the whole family (well almost) celebrated with her!

Dj finally got his own TAMA drumkit!  Thanks to Tito Ben and an infusion of Dj's own savings :-)  His dream of becoming a really good drummer is now on its way! Mamimintakasi is their current name.



I joined the gym in October, but have not been there for a week now due to ill health.  But I am going back this week (hopefully!)  


Dj and I finally got our very own auto!!!!  Which we call "OTTO."  


Of course, we had our share of typhoon (Ondoy, Pepeng and Santi) stories....God bless everyone who helped and God bless the ones who suffered losses.


Good night for now...

MMM

i'm so missing my munchkin.....yesterday was just one of the best times :-) just spending half a day with him's more than i could ask for.....although of course i wish i could have more :-(

i just feel like i'm in high school except i'm not....i'm head over heels in love with him...i guess i thought i'd be able to make it through the whole break up, even though i did the breaking up....well maybe i could have survived it anyhow, but i'd still be feeling empty.....i wouldn't really be lonely or sad...but something will always be missing.....and so I had to go back.....actually I didn't have to....but I did...cos I wanted to.....I WANT TO.......he's still the love of my life, my prince charming come true to life....despite all the hurtful words, all the bad things that has happened.....one thing remains unchanged....that he is my munchkin and will forever be.....

random thoughts

sharing a story or a joke with my munchkin...the way his eyes sort of crinkle as he grins...taking in his scent (God I SOO love that smell!!!)

awaiting the arrival of my complete (well, almost) Ann Brashares' The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants....still need to hunt down the official scrapbook :-(
