Edad 30

Ngayon ay ipinagdiriwang ko ang aking ika-30 kaarawan.

Nasasabik ako sa pagsampa ko sa edad 30. Sabi sa isang website, ang ibig sabihin daw ng 30 ay "being 3 x 10, denotes in a higher degree the perfection of Divine order, as marking the right moment" (http://www.biblestudy.org/bibleref/meaning-of-numbers-in-bible/30.html). Nasus sa edad 30 si Hesus nang magsimula sa kanyang misyon. Gayon din ang mga kilalang mga katauhan sa bibliya na sina Jose, David, Ezekiel, Juan Bautista, at Pablo.

Ngayon iniisip ko kung makakarating ako sa "higher degree of perfection". Pakiramdam ko na ang estado ng aking buhay sa ngayon ay malayo sa perpekto. Bagamat ganon ay marami akong dapat ipagpasalamat sa loob ng 30 taon. Nananalig at nananalangin ako na ako ay maging isang mas mabuting anak, kapatid, kaibigan... and in the near future a good wife and mother. I also pray for grace and blessings. Sana magawa ko ang kelangan kong magawa, at sana matupad ang aking mga pangarap.

I like this bike!

Kaya lang I can't afford it! Oh well, ang ganda nya tingnan, especially when Idol Lance Armstrong rode it at the Tour de France yesterday :)

Back to work

After more than 2 weeks of forced leave, I have come back to work at the office. What makes me wonder is that I'm still not in the rhythm of working at the office, considering that even while I was on leave I was working. Maybe because, and this is what I feared actually, is that I might have become so used to working at my own time and pace. And maybe also because I feel some frustration about some aspects about work, about my studies, about my life. So now that my mind is drifting away on what I'm supposed to do, here I am plurking, twittering, facebooking and blogging.

I'd love to have my focus and enthusiasm back for the things I am working on. Lord, help me!

Just Go

I loved the rendition of this song sung this morning by Lionel Richie and my favorite among American Idol Season 8 contestants Danny Gokey

"Just Go"

It'd be so nice
If you didn't have to feel so lonely
It'd be so nice
If I could sneak you for a moment

I know you like to get away, go away, far away
To a place where there's just us two
Got a busy day, everyday but not today
'Cause I'm here to take that stress from you

So you can just chill and clear your head
And let me do everything for you
'Cause you deserve it
Prepare your meal and make your bed
Well, let just first make this with you
'Cause you are so worth it

I just want us to go
(Go, go)
Drop everything and just go
(Go, go)

I just want us to go
(Go, go)
Drop everything and just go
(Go, go)
