Happy Birthday, Nay!

Today is a special day of the person who has the most influence in my life. Her love and strength guide me and ang gave me wings to help me soar.

She’s definitely a person for others. Her kindness and caring ways are simply remarkable and made her well-loved by family, friends and relatives.

As a teacher, she has played a big role in molding the future of her students especially in being outstanding parents and homemakers.

As you celebrate your birthday, I am wishing you all the happiness and contentment in life. God has truly blessed you with a benevolent heart. I’m proud to be your daughter.

Winter Again?

I’m just not in the best of comfort these past few days. I’ve been nursing a very bad headache and slight sore throat. It might be due to the abrupt change of weather. Oh well, UK and its erratic weather conditions.

As in my previous entry, the past two weeks have been really clear and sunny with a very mild temperature. I actually got to wear my shorts and tank tops while at home (with all the windows opened) last Saturday. But then towards the evening, it got windy. It was a bright Sunday and foolish me, I rushed to church donned in my spring jacket and it was then I realized that it was so cold despite the beaming sun.

Since then, the following days were so chilly with occasional sleet during the day and frost at night. But what more could be worse? This morning, I woke up with body pains, slight fever, heavy head and cough and when I opened my curtains, there’s snow all over!!! Snow! When all the while, I thought spring has come a little early. Surely, nature made a big joke and gave us a foretaste of the spring. Hehe!

Winter in Spring?

But then, a sick body and unexpected return of winter will never put my spirit down. I am a sleep away to my most anticipated day. I’m just so excited and had been unconsciously grinning the whole day. It may be spring soon or winter might stay for a while, I don’t care! Life is beautiful and God is good.

A Day for Zach

A dutiful son...

A caring brother…

A loyal friend…

As for me, he is a gift from heaven. He is the one who personifies selflessness and unconditional love. Surely, I’m one lucky lady to have found the best.

As others are waiting for that ONE who will watch every sunrise with them until the sunset of their lives, I have found mine. Thank God for Zach.

Happy Birthday and you make my life worth living!!!

Come The Spring

Spring came a little early this year. As I far as I can remember, this time around last year, it was still cold, damp and gloomy and I even had my winter rashes on. Hehe!!! But it’s a whole different now. The sun is high and proudly gleams every morning, the daffodils are now in full bloom and are lining up in the side streets and are adorning the roundabouts (the sight of them is really refreshing!!!), and the swans are now making their appearance in the pond. People can now be seen coming out of their houses and enjoying the sunny day.

It feels great that I get to wear light but warm enough clothes now in contrast to thick apparels that I’ve been donning the past months. I’ve been looking forward to wear the flats that I bought in the Phils on my last vacation and my worn-out boots can now take their rest. When at home, I can now open the windows and air the whole apartment to get rid of the wintery feeling. It just feels so good to have such a welcoming season.

After experiencing the changing of the season, I can say that I really love spring!!! It gives my spirit a different kind of lift and provided a stream of optimism. Indeed, tomorrow may be uncertain but it will be full of promises and hopes.

On Waiting

It’s a good thing that I’ve been busy and occupied with work these past few weeks. It somehow diverted my thoughts from something that has been a great anticipation for me since the start of this year.

Waiting. This is exactly what I and my hubby are doing right now. I learned that to wait for something you genuinely wish for is not easy. It entails faith, optimism and a grand deal of prayers.

We’ve done our part and it is now beyond our control. It’s up to God to decide what’s best for us. All we can do is pray harder and remain hopeful more than ever. God knows the desire of our hearts.

I once read this somewhere and it sure made a mark on me, “Waiting is a difficult task. How well we wait reveals whether we have faith in God”.
