sundays and kids

it's a sunday and it's fathers' day. and the gang's all here. lance (2) and dru (4) had fun posing while making faces. this one's scary. ate angela (10) made french fries for everybody. and kuya jean (9) is reading a book after teasing the little ones. we miss sean who's in the states and who will turn 9 tomorrow.

the answer

i asked the book of answers a question and this is what it told me. very interesting.

i still haven't found...

i scaled those wooden rungs to get to stand on the deck of our apartment. climbing was a breeze. the real challenge was descending those crosspieces. my hands were a bit sweaty and the gnawing darkness of night wasn't much help. but i made it and the feeling while i was standing up there was simply exhilarating. everest next?

trust

all the changes in our life can only happen when we put our trust in God. when we do that, everything else will fall in their proper places. things will make sense as they unfold as with those that have passed. no amount of advice or tips from books could help us if we do not start with it. we can cover ourselves alive with those remarkably written books but if we do not seek God and trust Him then there is no moving forward. all our life will be empty. books give us images of what emptiness is like and what a life of fullness is like but they cannot cross us over from one side to the other. only we can do it to ourselves. it is trust in God that will bridge us from emptiness to fullness - to a life of freedom, purpose and meaning.

PA in action

did production assistant work for mark's event. he assured me it was a no brainer. i think he was right. but there's no denying that i had fun. this is only the second time i assisted production as outsource. first was a long time ago when i just left creatron and missed the excitement of a special event and assisted the fedex flight launch at marriot. been telling mark to get me as PA when he has events just so i don't lose touch of the whole thing. it's different from when you are totally in charge. being PA affords you a little fun in the midst of the action coz there's still somebody else. though there's nothing like the thrill and satisfaction of being at the helm. you bask in it all, bs included. so there i was this morning with a 7am call time after a run through that ended at 1am. i found out i learned a lot and i definitely had a blast plus i went home with some bucks to splurge.

unfriend(ed)

'people change and forget to tell each other'. that's sad. now let's try 'your friend 'unfriends' you on facebook or friendster'. mean? cowardly? immature? or being down right true? what's the point in keeping you in her 'friends' list when you've stopped being friends. i don't just friend anybody in my facebook. i'm more liberal with my friendster for reasons i do not know. but this i'm certain, i realized i am not social enough for all these social networking sites. i still censor my thoughts and i could only express my deepest feelings in my private journal. and there are periods when i just withdraw. but before i wander off, let's go back to the seat where my friend once had been. to say that it left a gaping hole in my life would be an exaggeration. and i'm an advocate of truth in advertising. but being unfriended left me quite baffled. it's like burning a bridge if there was one there to start with. then what happens when you become friends again? you send a friend invite maybe? blogger is tired and still clueless so maybe it's better that blogger sayeth none for now.

crocs in quorum

i am grateful to have been in the company of the wonderful bodies and souls connected to these footwears. God really does send certain people our way to help us, motivate us, inspire us and make us feel his love and care.
