Toxic is an understatement

You sometimes think life can no longer get more tiring, more toxic and more hectic than it already is. But then again.... surprise! Just a month ago one of my colleagues hastily left the company leaving me and a few others burdened with all these responsibilities she left behind. It wasn't good, I considered her a friend. She had her reasons and maybe someday I will learn to understand what was behind all the drama.

Now I have a new role, a harder one in fact and I sometimes think I can't do it. But heck, maybe this happened for a reason. Maybe I should just grow and start learning the new ropes. Great! What a way to start the year.... Well atleast it's moving somewhere... we'll see how this turns out and maybe it's a good thing.... hopefully....

What Does Your Birth Date Mean?

My 30 minutes spent

I apologize to my blog for not updating it as often as I could. I have been so busy for the past few weeks, very very busy. I work double shift , take care of the family, my little son who is the most curious child, my husband and Josh..... Everytime I open my blogger, I just stare into the sceen hoping that even just for a few minutes I can put something but end up doing some other task.
Anyways, now I have some extra 30mins.....
Despite the busy schedule, my life has been really fine. The kids are doing well, especially Josh, and I am so relieved he is better.
My husband now used to his new job is doing very well too.
KC, the youngest, is still adjusting in school. He loves going there, every morning he would be the one to wake up Dad to get up early to bring him there.

Me I wish I had more time. TIME is all I ask for. I wish I could do the things I want so much. I still love to travel but work never permits me. I love to scuba dive and go to the beach but again no time. I want to go to Cebu visit my relatives I have never seen for years. I want to travel to other Asian countries and experience their culture.

A friend of mine said that ... I should "make" time.... which sounds easy... believe me in my case it is not.

Anyway, if I do have the time, I'll be posting some tips and ways I have gathered the past few months that may help people save money... with the rising cost of gas and living.... everyone needs to save. For Moms and Dads, the avid traveler, for students, for the working people...etc...
these ideas may help in one way or another, til next time.

Reuniting with Friends

Last weekend we attended a friend's wedding and it was nice to see KC (my 3 yr old son) for the first time be part of an entourage as the coin bearer. He was so cute in his Barong Tagalog.
It was a great evening, full of laughter, stories and of course food and wine. We saw friends we've never seen for months. There was indeed a lot of catching up. It was so nice to see that everyone was fine. A friend who just gave birth, asked me to be Godmother to her baby girl. I am so delighted. Another friend of mine , who is still single at 28, told me of her travels to search for that "someone" and business ventures which she so enthusiastically explained as well. Another friend told me of some unfortunate news about his health condition and that he is required to totally stop drinking beer...which was his no.1 favorite pastime eversine I knew him...tsk tsk..... Overall it was a great night. Aside from the couple glowing with love and happiness, we were all pretty much excited and glad to have that reunion of sorts and got the rare chance to catch up. I miss these types of gatherings and how I wish there will be more to come.....

My Sanctuary

Keep Breathing

In the beginning, the pain is acute. Our tendency is to pull back, to avoid the suffering at all costs. But the emmotions you are experiencing are not the obstacles to your healing. In fact, they are the very means of your deliverance.
The tears will wash away the illusions of what you once believed to be true.
This journey may be long and exhausting but the best thing to do is be patient with the pain.
We discover that without having to do anything but feel, you are doing the important work of providing the basis upon which a more authentic existence can be built.

Back home

Its nice to be back home.
Back in 2000 I started my very first blog here and I was relentless. I miss those days. I wrote my stories of traveling, going to places which I considered my sanctuary, my soul searching journeys, my encounters with different people who made such a huge impact on my being.... those were the times of my life I missed so much.

However blogger deleted my blog for being 3 years idle. Was pretty sad because I so loved my entries there. It gave me a glimpse of how fun and adventurous it all used to be....how free-spirited my attitude and beliefs were....how unique my life was back then.

Anyway, coming back here and blogging again is surely refreshing, I love this... expressing myself and telling how I see life through the eyes of an eagerangel. Crossing through my mind are all sorts of ideas just wanting to come out, to be heard , be written....
We have all the time, God permit, to do this blogging again and Im glad...so glad to be back home...
