A sad valentine's day

A sad Valentine's Day.. not just for me, but for thousands of people as well. In my part, i did not spend it with noel (since he's in germany), or with my friends (they all had dates), or with my family (they were at home). After extending a couple of hours at work, i went to the gym in dusit. My usual cardio thing was to go on the cross trainer. since somebody else was using it, i decided to go outside since they have the aero by the pool, thinking that i'd join them instead. and then BOOM! We all heard that sound from outside.

At first i wasn't even curious with what happened even if people from the pool were standing on the flower boxes to check it out. We all thought that it was from the MRT. When i heard the siren, that's when i realized that people were actually hurt from that blast. I called up my family and friends just to check if they were ok..and thank God they were.

I guess these things really happen. It's sad that there are people in this world who do not have the love of the Lord in them, which brings them to such actions. Although i do not personaly know any of the victims, i am greatly affected by this. My suggestion is for people to continuosuly pray for our country. And for chistians to share God' s love boldly and to have the desire to let them know that there is a better life.. a life where things actually make sense and no dork would say they want peace by killing hundreds or even thousands of people.

Child Abuse


Sleeping thea
Originally uploaded by dessagirl.
Several weekends ago, i went to tagaytay for a planning session with some of my officemates. That was actually from Thursday to Saturday. Afterwhich, I met up with my cousins (also in Tagaytay) where all of us stayed in one house with my nephews and nieces.

I was really tired so i decided to take a nap in one of the rooms and found a spot beside my sister watchin tv on the matress. I had my back to her when i fell asleep. A few moments later, i felt her moving behind me, which woke me up, so i moved away.

Then i woke up again since she was against me AGAIN and i moved away AGAIN and grunted "tsk, NO!" This happened once more and i found myself almost on the floor already. I was so irritated with her, i shoved her REAL hard. As in tinulak ng sobra, yung parang pikon?!

When i looked behind me, i saw an orange shirt move. That's when i remembered my sister was wearing white.. (teka lang) it turned out it was my niece, Thea!!! Huwaaaa! She transfered to our room and squeezed in between me and my sister!

I felt so bad, i hugged and kisses her so many times. Thank God she didn't feel it.. Kawawa naman my minime. Ang sama ko daw sabi ni rona and melvin.

How to know what you or others prioritize

Just want to share with you my favorite entry from one of my favorite books: pdl or the purpose driven life by rick warren:

The importance of things can be measured by how much time we are willing to invest in them. The more time you give to something, the more you reveal its importance and value to you. If you want to know a person's priorities, just look at how they use their time.

Time is your most precious gift becuase you only have a set amount of it. You can make more money, but you can't make more time. When you give someone
your time, you are giving them a portion of your life that you'll never get back. Your time is your life. That is why the greates gift you can give someone is your time.


It is not enough just to say relationships are important; we must prove it by
investing time in them. Words alone are worthless. "My children, our love should not be just words and talk; it must be true love, which shows itself in action" 1Thess 5:10 Relationships take time and effort,
and the best way to spell love is T-I-M-E."

(Warren, p. 127)

do you think this is u?

I imagined this place would have a sofa and dim lights and of course, talking will not be allowed. aaaaaah! i would definitely need a tulala break right now.. (staring at my monitor for 30 seconds.........................)

Ok, i'm back to my cubicle looking like the tsunami happened here.can we propose that? a tulala corner? wachu think?

encounter God retreat


encounter God retreat
Originally uploaded by dessagirl.
It's been about 10 years since i went on a retreat until June 2004. I was forced to attend this EGR (encounter God retreat) because everyone in our church (Christ's Church International) was attending the said thing. i personally preferred not to go since i've been to lots of retreats and self-help or leadership seminars in the past and they simply have no major impact on me. i mean sure, i learn a lot and cry and stuff. but after that, i dont see any major change in me.

This event however was a great help. Before going on the retreat, i was in state where one can say "my spiritual life is at its lowest". i pray and read the Bible everyday but sometimes, it feels like my prayers are just bouncing off the cieling. even if it was that way for me, i still prayed i believe that even if i don't feel God's presence in my life, it doesn't mean He's not there.

EGR was good for me. it was there where i got to intimately worship God again and found the joy of being a Chirstian. although He constantly reminded me how much i neglected Him in the past, He also showed me that i was blessed with so much.

now, i would personally recommend anyone to give it a try. it's a good way of emptying all the bad in you and finding yourself vulnerable before God with nothing at all but your soul to surrender. i also find myself looking forward to our Sunday worship service instead of treating it as an obligation or tradition.

Monkey's fault!


Monkey's fault!
Originally uploaded by dessagirl.
so THIS is what my bald spot looks like!

when i was about 2 or 3, my parents went to baguio for a youth camp and decided to bring me with them. unfortunately, there was this monkey in camp and everyone thought this monster was harmless. so my ninong ces took me to see it (i think he thought i'd be amused). we got too close and WHAM! the monkey scratched my head! my mom told me i was rushed to the hospital and the doctors did a nasty job with the stitches.

so now, when people who fix my hair see this, i tell them the story. it was only now that i thought of taking a picture of it (acutally, my sister did) so i can actually SEE what it looks like. my sister's bf said it looks like the logo of mitsubishi. i'd say i agree. sad thing is, it still hurts when someone touches it. weird!

my high school barkada. aka bnb's (super secret yung meaning).. harhar! these girls have been my friends for over a decade now and we still act like we're 15 when we're together. although our meetings have narrowed down to once every quarter or even twice a year, things don't change. high school is still the best for me.

this pic was actually taken late 2004 over at dyan's place (left most girl in photo). i was so proud of how her life turned out to be and hope to have a family of my own too in the future. lahat kami inggit!

10 years ago, we were talking about who to bring to our prom (ew!) now, here's where we are:

dyan's a mom and still does modeling stuff and makes her jewelries. karen's a mom too and thinking bout getting another degree. ashley's working for an ad agency. jacky's a med student and tin's a headhunter(this i have to update coz i bumped into sher and said she's no longer into that). as for me, i'm into HR for an IT company. i wonder where we'd be in the next 10 years?
