Human as we are, we are all busy worrying over petty things when we could get killed any moment by accident. Wondering what would life be without this and that. We are working painstakingly in hope for a brighter future. Did it by any chance occur to you that everything you have and every dream you've been trying to fulfill might all be gone in just a split second?
Morning is my favorite time of the day. I just love mornings! I love it when the morning sun touches my face. Everything seems to be perfect in the morning, so much to look forward to, and with renewed hope. And because of that, it makes it impossible to anticipate that something terrible might happen along the way.
One beautiful morning, as I sat so comfortably in a multicab on my way to work, while waiting for it to be full with passengers, everything was perfect and peaceful. When the cab was finally ready to hit the road, little did we know that we were just inches ahead from what seemed like a 12-wheeler truck. Whether our driver didn't notice the truck approaching or he did, but refused to give way, I didn't know. Even if the truck's driver had step on the break, it was too late. Passengers were now screaming in terror as the truck dragged us forward and in a fraction of a second, we were slammed at the wall in the side of the road. The next thing I knew, the multicab suddenly came to a halt and we were being pulled out by the bystanders. Miraculously, nobody got badly hurt. It took me quite a while to sink in what had just happened. I couldn't believe that I had just met an accident and got out of it unscathed.
It could happen to anyone, anywhere and anytime. It was somehow a life-changing experience, I must say. You will then realize that life is too short indeed. It gives you every reason to celebrate life. It makes you appreciate even more everything that you have right now.
Having to experience such accident and have been given a second chance in life, I must be grateful to God.
Lately, I've been bogged down with negative thoughts. Dreading for something for quite a while already. My everyday routine is getting deppressing. But there will always come a point where you want to rest your mind and just shrug it all off. It's tiring, you know. Time will come that you will have to make a firm decision to just enjoy the now rather than to continue fearing the unknown.
I've completely forgotten about Father's day. I mean I certainly know that there is a father's day this month but I lost track of the dates. And I feel a little bad at the moment though I know brother and father do understand. I gave my father a gift last year but now... NOTHING! It was such a shame that I had to find out my sister-in-law bought him a cake and not me. And worse, I greeted my brother just this evening.
Moving forward.......
It's the least I can do.
You can never expect a person to be nice to you when they've been pushed to the limit already. I may be mean at times but of course it comes from a good reason. I'm getting used now to people calling me harsh or badgirl. These names are supposedly for fun only but as they say, jokes are half-meant. Well, yes, maybe I am. But hey, tell you what, if being harsh would mean being honest/true and straightforward, then I'd love to be called harsh. This isn't something to be proud of, of course. I just don't care how bad and unforgiving I am in the eyes of the vast majority. What you see is what you get. What you see is genuine. Guess that's all that matters.
Fully charged for the first time in a long time. I must have snored so loud, I could tell. Surprisingly, I was able to finish loads of works today from the time I woke up. The effect of that long hours of sleep, obviously. Staying so late at night is absolutely a very bad habit. I should do something about this. Really. Surely, there has to be something to do with time management and a great deal of self-discipline regarding this. Talk about miracle! But well, yes. I know my priorities. I know exactly what has to be done. From now on, I should put a great deal of effort in all my actions.
For all the years that we've been attending mass on Sundays at Redemtorist Church, I've been wishing also that there would be a place wherein my family could go somewhere near it. So I don't have to impatiently wait and hail a taxi. Let alone pay the continued increase of fare! And now it looks like my prayer has finally been answered.
Abreeza Ayala Mall
is situated just across the street facing the Redemtorist Church at the heart of Davao City. This elegant edifice is standing proudly along the highway of J.P Laurel Avenue making it accessible to the people. Its prestige evidently shown through the designer label stores whom undoubtedly have given confidence to them like Nine West, Esprit, Gap, Marks & Spencer, and the most famous Sarbucks Coffee Shop, to name a few. Each of which practically have chosen wisely their respective places in the mall. The existence of the Ayala Mall in Davao is another living proof of its continuing excellence and success for centuries. Now, davaoeños are about to become in full participation on its insistence. In fact, I am becoming increasingly aware of everyone's curiosity about how would it be like once the entire mall is already in full operation.As for me and my family, the proximity of the church and the Ayala mall is quite a relief for us since we don't have to go farther to freely enjoy ourselves. So its gonna be Sunday family day, Redemtorist day and Abreeza day whole day. Not always, though.
April or May. Definitely isn't my most favorite time of the year. Coincidence or not, my unhealthiness always fall on either of these months. And for that reason, there are also postponements of plans and adjustments of activities that fell on the same dates my bad cough and fever occurred. But everything would end up just fine, eventually. In effect, I have come to realize that my client was right about what he said to me that these situations are reminders to stop and smell the roses. And this is one philosophy I want to live by.

"There will be a few times in your life when all your instincts will tell you to do something, something that defies logic, upsets your plans, and may seem crazy to others. When that happens, you do it. Listen to your instincts and ignore everything else. Ignore logic, ignore the odds, ignore the complications, and just go for it."
Remember When

"I used to be ashamed
And now I am proud.
The world once was black
And now it is bright.
I used to walk head bent
And now I stand up tall.
I used to have dreams
But now I have hope."

A Kingdom of Dreams
Here we go! I can't remember what exactly had happened during the first quarter of the year 2010 but I know for sure that we had eaten on some fancy restaurants and some night outs every payday. Last year, different group of friends ignited as one and it grew bigger and bigger.
Oh, I remember! We had a groupings last 2009 Christmas party. The different groups had spent their winnings early last year and each group invited the other groups to join in with them. And so more birthdays and farewell celebrations followed. Doing the usual. Sadly, some of my friends had finally made one major decision of their lives to take another challenge in the outside world.
Two of the most memorable events in 2010 were the road trips! We witnessed how the people of Sarangani celebrate their festival. I would love to visit that place once more and get closer this time. The group hit it off in Sarangani and planned for the next stop. Heading to the north this time, Masao in Mati. I wasn't wowed with the place but enough to say that I had fun. I enjoyed that trip because of the people I was with and everything we've done there. I enjoyed every minute of my stay there.
Well, I think that's all I have to say for my last year's adventure. Now ready for this years blah blah, I guess ;)

I'm swamp with works lately. Multitasking. I'm not trying to be a super woman here, OK? Things just got out of hand this time. I still have the remains of some things that I should have finished a year ago. Something that I haven't paid much of my attention for long. And now it seems like I got all the energy and determination needed to accomplish everything. I'll soon be giving myself a tap on the back for it's almost done.
There are Nursing Scrubs that come in style and would definitely make you feel great about yourself. These scrubs can only be found at Blue Sky Scrubs. Aside from the fashionable style they offer, it also comes with a high quality that even the simplest detail of it could still make you appear elegant.
The Nursing Uniforms of Blue Sky Scrubs is a great uniform choice if you are in the field of medicine. With its fashionable stitching, you will no longer be in a nurse-in-a-square-uniform days. They have different colors of uniform in order to differentiate the nursing unit in a particular hospital.
Choosing your own nursing scrubs at Blue Sky Scrubs is one great move to compliment your look!
Finally!
Well, nothing really interesting actually. I just can't believe that I'm able to be back again in this place. After a while of uhmmm... being lost? busy of something? or maybe, there's nothing really special to write about. Oh, I can't decide. Some signs of uncertainties, huh. I hate uncertainties!
The truth is, I've been visiting here frequently just to see some updates of my blog mates and never intend to write something. I just didn't have the appetite to share anything. I missed a number of events that are interesting enough to blob about. I don't know why I did not share it with you guys. There was a time that it suddenly occur to me that I should at least get a gist of my whereabouts for the past couple of months but my thought always end up wandering and lost focus completely. Hmmm I wonder why.
And now, here I am again. Still confused with what to do next. Having a scattered brain. Uh-oh! Anyway, hopefully I'd be able to say something sensible, interesting, and inspiring in my next visit. Oooohh, what would it be? We'll see....
Still here in the office, waiting for Biggy. She invited me to go somewhere to window shop for the upcoming company Christmas party. I'm kinda worried because it's raining. I hope the rain will stop later. And while waiting for the 6pm to come, I'm also chatting with my old buddies whom I haven't talk for quite a while.
