Birthday Blog

About two days ago, I celebrated my birthday. The past few years were quite difficult. But despite that, God is truly generous enough to have given me another year. Many people got sick with covid-19 and also a lot of people died due to it. Some lost their loved ones. And I am one of those fortunate ones who has been given the privilege to still wake up this morning. There are a lot to be thankful for in spite of the tough times that I'd been through especially in the past months.

There were nights when I wished that God won't wake me up the following morning. I told Him I've already been through so much. My heart is heavy and I don't think I want to witness another heartache the following day. I carry so much pain in me. Until now I am still healing. I have a lot of wounds that need healing. Sometimes I think that I'm about to be healed, but every now and then the wounds would still bleed. I'm still trying to make the shattered pieces be whole again. And like any broken pieces, once you put them altogether again, it's not the same anymore. No amount of adhesive can make the broken pieces back in its original form. The crack will always be visible. You may not see it, but you can definitely feel it. But despite the cracks, I know that I still play my purpose. Each morning that God wakes me up, I know I still have something to offer. I can still make something beautiful out of the cracks. 

I want to thank God for always being there for me. Thank you for the answered and unanswered prayers. I believe that my unanswered prayers are His way of protecting me. He doesn't give me what I asked from Him cause He knows that it won't be good for me. I know in time He will give me the desires of my heart. There were times when I didn't even have to ask Him. He already give me the things that I need before I realize that I need them. That's how generous He is. 

I wish that He won't get tired of being patient with me. I wish that He won't get tired of forgiving me for my mistakes. I wish that He will always be there to correct me when I'm becoming irrational. I wish that He will always be there to whisper to me the right words to say and the right things to do. I wish that He will always be there to teach me which way I should go. I wish that He wouldn't get tired of saving and protecting me. He's the one I can lean on no matter what the situation is. I am grateful for Him cause I know He got my back. 

Thank you, God for being You. My father whom I can always rely on. Thank you for your Son, Jesus Christ. Through Him I can always come to You anytime, anywhere. Please continue to protect me and my loved ones. Please continue to guide me. Thank you for the gift of life. Please help me to not take it for granted. I love you, Lord Jesus Christ. Whatever Your plans for my life, be it done unto me according to Your word.


au revoir. 😊

My Worst Job Interview Experience

I probably shared with you in the past how I struggled to find a job. I've been to a lot of job interviews. And when I say a lot, I mean a looooooooot. I couldn't count how many job interviews I attended. Whether virtually or on site. There's this one interview that goes on top of the worst interviews I attended. It was somewhere in Pasig. It was an agency. I saw the job posting online, so I sent my resume. They texted me and told me that I had an interview. So I went there. ‎  I am not used to wearing shoes with heels. So every time I attended an interview back then, I always left the house wearing flat shoes. I just bring with me other shoes with heels. Then I'll change before the interview when I'm already near the area. But when I had this interview, one of the soles detached from the flat that I was wearing. I was feeling it before I rode the bus, then it fell off when I was already inside the bus. So I had to wear the shoes with high heels that I brought. The

Sat With Ree: Jab We'll Done

Surprisingly, I had my 2nd dose of anti-covid vaccine earlier than I was expecting. It happened last Monday, November 22. If you want to read about what happened during my first dose just click this.  I already expected a long line and a lot of people in the vaccination site, so I wasn't surprised when I got there. It was crowded. It felt like I went to school for an enrolment because there are really a lot of children there with their own chaperone.  I went there at almost two in the afternoon. The good thing is that there are designated lines for children, for those who will be having their first dose, and for second dose. There were only 3 people in the line for the second dose when I got there.  Unlike during my first dose where I didn't wait that long, this time the waiting took me three hours to get my second dose vaccine. Fortunately, there was a waiting area outside and it wasn't raining, but it was the hottest time of the day. I had my blood pressure checked before

Sat With Ree: Westlife The Twenty Tour

Tell me you're a 90's kid without telling me that you're a 90's kid.  So, I say a little prayer  And hope my dreams will take me there  Where the skies are blue  To see you once again, my love  Overseas, from coast to coast  To find a place I love the most  Where the fields are green  To see you once again  My love Taas ang dalawang paa nong mga napakanta. Yieeeeeeee. If you know the song you definitely had an amazing childhood. Natatandaan ko nong bata pa ako nanghihiram pa kami ng VCD ng Westlife don sa tiyohin namin na kapitbahay lang namin. Ang laman ng VCD syempre music video ng Westlife. Tapos yong pinsan ko tili ng tili tuwing nanunuod lalo na kapag si Nicky yong pinapakita. Crush na crush niya kasi noon si Nicky. Tapos ang bet ko noon si Mark. Ang kukulit kasi nila don sa mga music videos nila. Tapos kapag Saturday sa Channel 5 (hindi ko alam kung anong name nong channel basta Channel 5 siya sa amin) music video yong mga pinapalabas. Kasama don yong 'Bop Bop
