Dammit

I can't do this alone. And don't tell me all those "you're not alone, God is with you" stuff. Grrr. :(

Corner of the Sky

from the Pippin soundtrack

Everything has its season
Everything has its time
Show me a reason and I'll soon show you a rhyme
Cats fit on the windowsill
Children fit in the snow
Why do I feel I don't fit in anywhere I go?

Rivers belong where they can ramble
Eagles belong where they can fly
I've got to be where my spirit can run free
Got to find my corner of the sky

Every man has his daydreams
Every man has his goal
People like the way dreams have
Of sticking to the soul
Thunderclouds have their lightning
Nightingales have their song
And don't you see I want my life to be 
Something more than long....

Rivers belong where they can ramble
Eagles belong where they can fly
I've got to be where my spirit can run free
Got to find my corner of the sky

So many men seem destined 
To settle for something small
But I won't rest until I know I'll have it all
So don't ask where I'm going
Just listen when I'm gone
And far away you'll hear me singing
Softly to the dawn:

Rivers belong where they can ramble
Eagles belong where they can fly
I've got to be where my spirit can run free
Got to find my corner of the sky

Realized I haven't written anything here for 2012. Uggh! Oh well. :P

Gratitude List 2011

Because of Vinita's post today on reflecting on the things we're grateful for for the past year, I'm making this gratitude list for 2011.

In no particular order :)

- For my family, my source of inspiration and strength. Thanks for all your love and patience. Thanks to Mom for her example of doing everything with love, for Dad for the unconditional love he shows to us, for Kuya for sponsoring my financial needs, and for ate Carla for listening to my kwentos and sharing kwentos about the kids.

- For my one and only Ate Jaye who spoils me to death. Haha. Thanks for all your gifts especially the Loyola Press books. Thanks also for spending Christmas midnight with me while I was opening my gifts. Even if you're far away, parang magkatabi lang tayo.

- For my CLC local community - God's Work in Progress. I look forward to Friday nights to see you guys. Thanks for everything this year has brought us. Yey for Observer Status!

- For my CLC friends all over the world! You guys are the greatest people in the world! I feel so proud to be part of this community.

- For iOS5! Because of iOS5 Ate and I could send messages to each other all we want! Except lang kung may bug ang iMessage. Haha.

- For Facebook and Skype, because thru these I have stayed connected with my family. I can still watch my Rugrats (Matt, Ella, Max) grow beautifully even if they are miles away.

- For my moon-mate Fr. Rudy Fernandez, SJ. It's either I text him or he texts me whenever it's the full moon. Thanks for sharing your love for the moon, Lolo Rudy.

- For Guita, knowing you're just there makes me sane. Thanks for listening to my rants and raves. Thanks for helping with this year's recollections. And I enjoyed Ilioilo and Guimaras with you! Love you Gutya!

- For 10 December 2011. On the eve of Gaudete Sunday, I felt great joy inside me. I felt that God has healed me. Special mention to Dr. Inge and Dr. Lou for their companionship.

- For Tita Ronnie, for always being there to listen and share your wisdom. Let's have more kwentuhan sessions next year!

- For my regular dates for breakfasts/lunches/dinners--ate Judy, ate Jeanie, ate Tish, ate Rina, Tita Anna, Romana and Kat Yu. Kayo rin pala ang regular text mates ko! Thanks for the friendship!

- For the success of NYD! Special mention to the Liturgy Team. Thanks for the wonderful experience.

- For all those who helped for the psychosocial assistance for Iligan (donors and volunteers), thank you. Dakila kayo.

- For everyone who wished for me to go to Madrid, thank you for your help. It's not yet the time to see Father Ignatius. But really, thanks for all the support.

AYUN. :)

DIOS MABALOS! Blessed new year!

Merry Christmas

St. Therese Novena

“St. Therese, the Little Flower, please pick me a rose from the heavenly garden and send it to me with a message of love. Ask God to grant me the favor I thee implore [state intention here], and tell him I will love him each day more and more.” Tradition holds that if you say the novena prayer, followed by five Our Fathers, five Hail Marys, and five Glory Be’s each day for five days, you will receive a shower of roses on the fifth day.
