Update

I'll start blogging about my previous vacation. Last May 10, mom and I went to Bacolod. After how many years finally I was able to go back here again. I miss this place, the people, and of course the food. ☺

The next blog posts will be about my travel. Sorry late update. I've been busy for the past days e. One day after we arrived home, I went out again for our leadership training seminar in Tanay. So there you go.

Sweets from my sweet friends.

I've been craving for sweets for weeks already.
My taste buds keep on telling me to eat something sweet, chocolates to be specific. 

And yesterday, the long wait is over. I received a bag of Maltesers from my dear friend (Aden). Its his pasalubong to me from Riyadh. And in exchange I gave him a pack of piaya. Maltesers is really my favorite of all! ☺

And before I leave I received a box of Almond chocoballs from my dear bunso (Jacob). By the way, I also love chocolates with nuts, like that of almonds. ☺

Hooray! I'm the happiest kid in town. Lots of sweets for me this weekend. 

Thank you Aden & Jacob! ☺

Insights from LTS.

I am really thankful to be part of Central COMELEC's LTS. I learned a lot of things from that 2-day seminar. Here are some of my notes from our LTS that I want to share to you. :)

If you don't face your own failure, you will not grow.

Its not wrong to commit mistakes, whats wrong is when we do not acknowledge our mistakes and we don't act on it.

The Story of the Rabbit and the Turtle.

Its good to be individually brilliant and to have strong core competency . But unless you're able to work in a team and harness each others' core competency you'll always perform below par. 

Compete against the situation not against the rival. Hate sin. Love the sinner.

The Story of Mother Eagle.

We need to go out of our comfort zones in order to grow. 

Trust.

It is when you are trusted that you are given responsibility. The bigger responsibility people give you that means they have a big trust on you. 

Prove that you are trustworthy by your actions not just by mere words. Do not promise anything if you cannot do it.

The Story of the Other Son. (From the Story of the Prodigal Son)

We have a generous and loving Father. All we need to do is to ask to Him, and believe that it will be given to us. 

Most people don't ask help from God because they don't trust God. Why? Because they don't know His word. We need to study His word and start trusting in Him. 

Its more fun in COMELEC!

Another answered prayer! Last May 15, around 11pm, I received a last minute free invitation to the Central COMELEC's Leadership Training Seminar (LTS). Hooray! I've been praying for this since March. Thank you Lord for this! *u*

COMELEC: Becoming an Agent for Excellece in Leadership, Diversity and Inclusion.

We started our Day 2 in TYK. We had a series of activities there and Kuya Kaan (our speaker) gave a short talk. After that, around 11am, we went all the way to Bakasyunan (Tanay, Rizal) for the next series of activities.

Meet Alu. AMV COMELEC's Logistics officer. My buddy for this LTS.

The place is really a good venue for activities like our LTS.

But the not-so-good part only is that there's only a little signal, and sometimes no signal at all for Globe and Sun. :( But I see it as somewhat a good thing so that even for a day we will not think of the outside world, we'll be more focused on our LTS. :) 

I had new friends thanks to this LTS. Hello to Kristel (left, Chair of Architecture) and Jessie (Central Representative of EHS). Love these girls! :*

Thank you Lord for giving me another family in them. I hope to see more of them this coming school year. 

Its more fun in COMELEC! ☺ ♥

Trust God and His timing.

While I'm on my vacation I had this sudden realization. So here goes my quick short blog! :) 

The more I let go of you, the more God is leading me back again to you.
The more I cut off my connection to you, the more fate is making opportunities for us to reconnect.
I guess this is what you call destiny.
And I believe that if I let God write my love story,
I will have the best love story, with you.
I just have to wait for the right time.
Be patient. Trust God and His timing. :)

It only reminds me of you.

While browsing my Design Your Life 2011 planner there's a sudden flashback of memories, memories of you and me. Then I saw this post I had last May 2011:

I want to hug you right now. Sit next to you and talk to you about anything and everything under the sun. I want to erase all the bad experiences you had before and  replace it with good ones. I wanna be the smile you put on your face. I just want to be next to you now. That's how badly I miss you. If you only knew.

Indeed my planner has many memories of you. Every page of it has a story to tell.

Hospital visit.

Yesterday, Anel (my high school friend) and I went to V. Luna hospital to visit our high school classmate, Jose. He was severely injured from that car accident last week while on their way to Cabanatuan. His right ear was also damaged so he needed to go through surgery.

Thank God because yesterday when we visited him, he's more okay than the last time my friends visited him. He can now talk and he gained more energy. I was really moved with what had happened to them. Seeing him in a state like that, it really breaks my heart.

We stayed in the hospital for about an hour, talking about random stuffs, asking him to tell me the whole story. I was really like a child that time. That's what I feel that time. Out of curiosity, I was able to ask him so many questions. Hehe.

Look, that's the picture he uploaded 3 hours ago. Hopefully before this week ends, he'll be discharge already. Friends, lets include Jose in our prayers. Thank you!
