dating myself

here are some shots i tried to secretly take while enjoying some "me" time..

i've been learning to eat alone lately...

i used to really dislike the thought of eating alone since i felt so self conscious. but then lately i find myself in the mall lagi.. errr.. retail therapy ever. i prefer shopping alone (with no one to wait for me or no one i have to wait for...) and i get really tired and hungry after. since it's about an hour going home, i usually eat before i leave

i learned that eating alone is not so bad... you get a lot of me time.. eheheh.. but then i remember rachel (j. aniston from friends) being dumped by some guy since he saw her eating alone and felt that was weird. eh? may ganun ba talga lalaki?

Happy CHRISTmas everyone!!!

GOD bless you!

freaky restroom!

how would you feel if your bathroom was like this?? 4 walls all with mirrors... it's a bit freaky i tell you.. couldnt help but take pictures...

a purple dvd player.. this baby is from the movie, CARS... his hood pops and that's where you put the disc!!!

i see something green

after having breakfast in the office pantry yesterday, i waited in line to wash my lovely purple fork. nways, was standing next to the fridge and when someone opened it, i saw one of my baunans inside.. i tried to remember if i have any leftovers, and i couldnt think of any. curious, i looked under it and thought it was kiwi fruit... which was weird because i can finish one kiwi fruit in 3 seconds.. so malabong magtira ako ng kiwi... so when i opened it, guess what i saw!!!!!!!

yep.. moldy sausages! ewfulness!!!!!!!! harharhar!!!!!! mga 3 months na ito!!!!



i asked the one cleaning our fridge why she didnt tell me or throw it away na.. she just smiled and nahiya daw sha..



gen saw it too but always forgets to tell me. she assumed it was kiwi fruit too.. kasi nga green! then she said: parang naabutan ko pa yan na sausage!! eheheh

dessagirl's QT

have been finding comfort in God's word lately.. this has been my food.. my strength to do what i have to do..

my quite time has been real quality time with God.. and i thank Him for that..

here are the materials i use:

i found comfort and strength in these words:
~in the midst of turmoil of life, when we think all we want is to be left alone, Jesus extends His nail scarred hand and invites us to be His friends...

~loneliness may be a root from which good things can spring...

~we alone cannot achieve our own dreams. we need the miracle of God's participation

~hope allows us to face the future, no matter how difficult our present may be

~for He has delivered me from all my troubles

~fear not, for i am with you. Do not be dismayed for i am your God. i will strenghthen you, yes, i will help you, i will uphold you wiht my righteous hand.

~the place of solitude is where we are changed. it's where we abandon some of our agendas, discover new directions, and find a new self

~faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things unseen

MY FAVORITE: "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future" JEREMIAH 29:11

~dessagirl's~ natural highs....

this is a random list. these are little things that make me feel really good about life:

1. i get my favorite spot in a really nice, clean, cool shuttle to and from work!
2. someone gives me a goofy item (whatever it is..) without me asking
3. i read a bible verse and feel that God is talking directly to ME!
4. i see my crush looking at me! (na ayaw ko pa rin aminin hanggang ngayon na crush ko sha..)
5. the wind blows thru my window in our room ~ for me, this means God is telling me He loves me
6. fresh clean sheets! love falling asleep to that clean smell.. zzzz...
7. my little square pillows i had since i was a baby
8. free food!!!!!
9. breakfast buffet.. esp if shared with people who mean a lot to me
10. when it rains right after i get home.. hay salamat..

God is awesome!

post bday gift..

thanks bam! this is really sweet of you.. mmmwah!

CCBFH Kidz Encounter

the EGR (Encounter God Retreat) last 2004 helped me improve the WORSHIP aspect of my life.. it has a been a big help and i'm still wishing that people who mean a lot to me would attend it...

nways, the Lord allowed me to be part of the staff for the first Kidz Encounter (EGR for kids) of Christ's Church in BF Homes.

Lessons were exactly the same in content but were presented thru skits and demos to get thru the kids. loved it! got to play small parts in short skits..

Those who went thru the EGR will understand how important "THE CROSS" is. this part reminds you of what Jesus did for you.. this part makes you realize that the Lord has suffered so much to pay for our sins.. for the Kidz Encounter, we did a skit of "The Cross".. though i was one of the actors, i couldnt help but cry when the kids started crying.. i know the Lord touched their hearts for them to realize and comprehend the gift of salvation.

Our team worked with Pastor Dhenz and 5 of his G12 members..we are so blessed to have them conduct the enounter..

I pray that more children will get to expereince this.. To God be the glory!

KIDZONE TEACHERS

PTR. DHENZ, FLOYD (on top), ULY (no face), CLYDE, ROBBIE, and XIAO

=(..

its' been a while since i went to baguio.. i came back last weekend and guess what.. we had an accident in concepcion tarlac.. this is one of those places where people arent friendly.. they gang up on you and they dont help you! grrrrr.. bad experience..

was asleep when i heard a loud bang and saw our side mirror on the road.. thank God i had my seatbelt on even if i was sitting at the back.

our driver hit a motorcycle coming from the other side of the highway. turns out the guy only had a student permit and didnt really know how to drive his scooter (on a national highway). we were late for 3 hours.. had to wait for the police report and bring the dude to the hospital. sheesh..

i'll never forget this kagawad who was in shorts, a yellow shirt, and tsinelas. he took our keys and told us kagawad daw sha. my boss was super tapang: "wala akong paki alam kung kagawad kayo. akina yung susi namin. kelangan ko ng aircon!" go ma'am sue!

nanoys looking at our service.. haaay..

our busted tire

my boss, and our driver.. talking to the kid's dad.. palitan daw namin ng bago yung motor niya. haller?????

birthday ko

the Lord is so good.. He gave me a perfect family and awesome friends... my birthday was supposed to be an "emo" one.. but the Lord did not allow it. haha!

i love my family.. and i love my girls.. no single girl should live without them..

thanks for my surprise!!! loveit loveit loveit

Vietnam food

our Vietnam branch sent us some of their delicasies.. i wasnt brave to try them.. just some...

this is hard as dried caramel.. they warned me not to try it since i had my braces on..

this is 14200 dong! (spell check) have no idea how much is that.. siguro mga 100 pesos?

the caramely candy

this tastes like dried atsara daw


this looks like a lumpia wraper

parang prunes daw ito.. and kyamoy

with my magnet.. ito masarap.. cashew with caramel

lisa frank
