Seventh Christmas Away from Home
The best time of the year finally arrived, its the 25th day of December a not so ordinary for Christians. Today is the joyous and festive season of all.
It was September 2005 when I left the Philippines to find a greener pasture here in the UAE and since then I haven't got the opportunity to spend Christmas holidays with my family back home. Although I survived the previous ones with joy and gladness through the presence of my relatives, this year came to be far more different since I'm left out cause my relatives has permanently left Dubai.
Loneliness suddenly came over me... there was a part of my heart yearning for something to be filled in. Now I've come to realize how those OFW's feel being away from their families especially for those parents who left their small children to work in a far away land and provide for their needs. It's heartbreaking not to be with them.
Hopefully one day...someday...I'll be home for Christmas.

April-ific
Whew!
In a few minutes April will finally say goodbye...so before it finally say adieu let me share some thoughts and feelings of my the twist and turns of this month.
Week 1: Spent my brief stay with my family in the Philippines...it maybe short yet it's relaxing and rewarding.
Week 2 : Back to work and service in SFC...did really missed being with my SFC family
Week 3 : I celebrated my first year in KONE and anniversary with "bee"
Week 4 : This was the time when unexpected things came up where painful decisions has to be made. Challenging change to be made...a total reconstruction of life.
Life is indeed full of surprises which will catch off guard. But, I guess the surest way to survive is to cautiously go with the flow and once you learn to find your own grip...then take your own path.
I shall never give up...

One Year of Love
I really can't recall how it all had happened. The last thing I know, when I needed someone you're always there on my side, when I'm about to cry you put a smile on my face, when I'm about to give up you were my strength, when I was broken...you mended me.
I thank God for bringing us closer together and most importantly for guiding us in keeping our love strong and true. Whatever life may bring I trust that our faith in GOD and love towards each other will deepen the foundation of this love.
Praying for togetherness...forever togetherness...by God's grace and mercy.
