Joy To The World

Few months ago, our small group leader asked us to write down a list of our “Ideal Man”. I was able to come up with a list and even titled  it “Ang Tipo Kong Lalaki” (haha) but I actually had a bit of a struggle writing it.

I know I could have just wrote down “Tall, Dark and Handsome (and of course Mabango)” but I wasn’t really having a hard time thinking of what I would like for a future partner. The struggle was that, I was not answering “What” but “Who”. (haha, may person in mind pala).

I was in the middle of thinking of my “list” when I uttered “Father God, ano nga ba?” then HE gave me these words when I opened my Bible “…He speaks well and is a fine-looking man. And the LORD is with him.” (1 Samuel 16:18).

I recall smiling from ear to ear after reading those words. Kinilig ako! He speaks well and is a fine-looking man. ? Si God talaga oh! Alam yung gusto ko! Haha! 

God really knows what we need because HE is our Father. How sweet is it to be loved by HIM. I didn’t even ask HIM but HE answered me.It was a rather funny moment with God and I still get kilig whenever I read that verse.

But the best part of it was the last sentence, “and the LORD is with him”. I felt like a princess super love by God because I am sure that HE would give me to one of HIS prince. The one HE have prepared for me. Pwede pala maiyak sa sobrang kilig? haha

Excited na ako! :) I am keeping this promise. Thank God for HE is a faithful God! 

I just noticed  that I seem to have a fetish for guys who know how to write.

When I was in 2nd year College I had this unbelievable “infatuation” with  guy who writes short stories. Amazing short stories, I may say. His works are so deep and dark reading them makes me write as well.

Recently, I came across a Radio DJ’s (whom now is a crush of mine) blog and it was simple yet intelligently written every post make me smile.

But before I discovered the Radio DJ’s blog, I had been reading his blog. His blog that makes me pause and think. His blog that makes me want to do better. His blog that made me cry.

After several futile calls and being explained to the same thing over and over again, someone from Globe Customer Service took time to listen carefully and know my concern.  Finally! Globe was able to help me. I think I was also able to help her to help me. I explained what happened, what is happening and what I would like to happen and by doing that we were able to fix the issue. Unlike the first callback that I made with them I was an irate customer already and we were unable to resolve the issue.

I believe that whenever a customer calls any Customer Service/Support of any company THEY REALLY NEED HELP. No matter how big or small the issue they have, they need help. And it’s up to the person answering the phone call how things will turn out.

I used to hate my job and I honestly still don’t love it. However, I may not love what I do, I still truly value it. I believe I started to appreciate my job when I realized what it is to me. The work that I hated is my financial source to help the most valuable thing in my life, my Family.

When we value things, we do them properly. I think most of the people in the Call Center Industry haven’t understand yet the weight of their job to the company they represent. I really find it sad that many of the people in the industry can’t give a heart to the job that provides food on their table.

No, I am not a perfect employee. There are still days that I dread going to work, I still snap at difficult customers and I hate talking to racist customers. Whenever I have those customers, I just pray for GOD’s grace. I ask HIM for understanding and patience.

I remember a great life lesson I got from The Notebook. It was from Noah’s father, I could not remember that exact words but he taught Noah to work as much as he is paid for. He did what his father said and he was rewarded by his employer. And it’s fascinating to find the same lesson from the scripture, “ Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” (Galatians 6:9)

Find value in what you do. :)

*In the spirit of Morning Rush( with Gino and Fran) Top 10 for today, I have also come up with a letter to my “Future”.
(Maala-ala mo kaya song cue)

Hi Love,

WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG???!!!Haha, nah. I’m just kidding. I don’t even actually think you exist or if there’s really someone, somewhere out there for me. But once the day our paths finally cross and head to the same direction, I would really love to intertwine my fingers with yours.

You may need to be extra patient with me since no one really came before you and I’m a newbie to this kind of relationship.

I would love everyday I’ll have with you for I had been patiently waiting for the special days to arrive.

I might even cry sometimes due to happiness but I know you’ll know what the remedy would be. right?

A very BIG tight hug and a kiss in the forehead would do the trick.

I am really looking forward with our “kilig” moments together.

I can’t wait to walk with you hand in hand (at pa-sway-sway pa).

I love you.

I’ll see you on the same day you’ll see me
I’ll know you on the same day you’ll know me
Someday,One day

It was one of those days that my friend and I would stroll around our favorite bookstore that I suddenly craved for some French Toast of a famous coffee shop. What was funnier was I also had a “its-the-best-place-to-go-at-this-time” feeling that I even treat my friend.

When we got to the coffee shop, the most craved French Toast was no longer available but my heart (nor my stomach) was not broken, it was rather dancing in GLEE!!!

DAY was there.

My mind was blown away. I just prayed to see him again and there goes the answer. All I could utter at that moment was “thank you”.

Yes. It could be just a coincident( or SERENDIPITY hehe) but what amazed me most with that awesome surprise was how GOD answer prayers in the most unexpected way.

SO GREAT HE IS.

I couldn’t stop looking, checking if my eyes were just tricking my hopeful self but his hair is such strong proof I couldn’t even doubt a second I’m REALLY seeing him.

*Sigh*

There goes my hopeless romantic heart
I’ve been there before, I thought I’d never come back
As they say IT moves in  mysterious ways
But this time I’d just sit back, relax and let HIM do his ways

I want to know how it feels
when I mark the 365th day I fell head over heals
with the guy who made my dreams real
The guy who’ve made my heart dance and my mind squeal

I want to know how he would feel
when we mark our 365th day together

I want to know how it feels to celebrate with him a happiness that’s so true and so real
