Thank you Lord!
I would like to share the goodness of our Lord by writing a simple Thank you blog for Him. I want to thank the Lord for the many blessings which He has given me. He blessed me more than I prayed for. I owe everything to the Lord! There was a time that I was almost losing hope because of the circumstances laid upon me but I hold on to Him, I believe that nothing is impossible for Him. You know at some point in our lives where in we really pray for something and we think that God is not answering your prayers. But once you claim that He is at your side, He will be at your side. There are no words to explain how much I Thank you Lord!

Time Flies so Fast
I never thought that our family will be attached to a dog. I remember when we first bought Twinkle in the pet shop which was unplanned at all. I was supposed to buy my boyfriend a Siberian Husky but we ended up buying a shih tzu. I immediately gave in when she rested in my arms. At that time I was anxious if she will be accepted by the rest of the households. It turns out that just like me they were so excited to raise a dog!
I was like adopting a real baby at that time. Twinkle our shih tzu was so adoring that’s why people in our home kept on spoiling her. She became my mom’s stress reliever when my grand ma died. Now, everybody is treating her the youngest in the family.
This coming July is her first birthday. I’m just proud that I was able to raise a healthy dog for one year and of course for the coming years as well :)

"We Are Young" - Fun (Alex Goot / Tiffany Alvord / Luke Conard)
I’ve been dreaming getting myself drunk while singing “we are young" on top of my lungs.
I like this rendition of We are Young of Alex Goot and co.

Tricyle Accident
I met a pedicab accident on my way to the office this morning. I got minor scratches on my left ankle and my lower hips hurts a little. The pedicab driver drove so fast that we crashed into the car in front of us. Unfortunately, the owner of the damaged car is a lawyer which was a bad news for him. Anyway, the pedicab driver admitted that it was his fault and he was sorry for the recklessness he did. So the lawyer just took his id and requested him to settle things out in an autocratic manner.
I feel sad for the pedicab driver, if he only drove properly. I’m praying that they would settle things out without any lawsuits.

Happy Father’s Day!
My dad is a seafarer. Even though we only sees him once a year and we just spend two months with him, it doesn’t make him less as a father. I look up to him for all the sacrifices he made for the family. He dedicated all his life to provide more than what we need.
From your daddy’s girl…
I love you daddy! No words can express how thankful I am to have you as my dad! I thank the Lord for giving me the best dad in the world! I will always be your daddy’s girl :)
pro·cras·ti·na·tion
[proh-kras-tuh-ney-shuhn, pruh‐]noun the act or habit of procrastinating, or putting off or delaying, especially something requiring immediate attention:
Even though I have my to-do list, I still have this tendency to procrastinate. I’m setting aside the important things to do with those of less priority just like I’m doing now. I always have this habit specially when there is a holiday in a week. I don’t feel like being motivated at all. It’s just me.
I’m a total slacker :( I feel guilty about it…
Mr. Heartthrob???
Have you ever encountered a male specie who claims to be a “mr. heartthrob"?. This reminds me of my ex-colleague. He always claims that girls would fall head over heels for him. That he had already dated sexy girls in the past and these girls would do their best to seduce him just to be with him under his sheets. I have encountered not only once. I just don’t what’s with this guys who fabricate such stories to boost their ego (nakakainis lang kasi hindi naman sila guwapo). It doesn’t make them handsome at all. To girls who would fall in such kind of trap, wake up!

3pm meeting
7-11 cappuccino has been my refuge during this time when my eyes are in inviting me to sleep. I’m waiting anxiously for our 3pm meeting with one of the known local group of companies. We were advice that the vendor prior to us is not yet done with their presentation, so we have to wait. To my surprise a panel of attendees from the IT team will be sitting in our presentation. Oh my. I never saw this coming. Keeping my fingers cross. Wish me luck! 😉

BIG BEAUTIFUL WOMAN
Being skinny has been a trend nowadays, you can see it in malls, print ads, schools, etc. etc. etc. Who doesn’t want to have sexy figure anyway?
There has been numbers of articles flooding in the internet and prints encouraging women to be sexy which simply connotes that a sociocultural norm of being attractive means having an hour-glass-body.
I remember a painting which I really adored in college. I found out that it was during the baroque art era, a famous flemish painter at his time Sir Paul Peter Rubens has fondness of painting full-figured women gave rise to the terms ‘Rubensian’ or ‘Rubenesque’ for plus-sized women.
One of his famous work-of-art and my favorite painting is Venus at the Mirror (1965). (as shown above).
Imagine the goddess of love and beauty having this outward curves. Then why should I be ashamed of mine then? :)
I think this only shows as that we should give acceptance to what ever weight others can be. Like what I always said “love your curves". Being pretty or beautiful means being confident and accepting what you are. You might end up skinny though, but its not giving you the freedom to enjoy yourself but giving the benefit to those who admire your body.
As what a gym nutritionist consultant have told me, “If you want to get that body, then do it because you want to get fit and healthy not because you want to give pleasure to your fanciers"
Overly Attached Girlfriend -Compilation (9gag)
How would you feel if your girlfriend is overly attached. This is so making me laugh.
What Struck Me this Pentecost
I am religiously attending a charismatic group every Monday in Pathways Ortigas at Poveda. This is held by Ligaya ng Panginoon a religious charismatic group. I was invited by our head of operations Ms. Aly Capote last year together with my colleagues. So far, we have finished the whole Choices seminar and now we are officially member of Pathways Ortigas.
At the end of the Choices seminar we have this “blessing of the Holy Spirit". I was expecting to be struck just like the others. Some are in complete meditation and crying. I am one of those that were smiling after being prayed over. Maybe I was over expecting of how it will affect me.
So come this Monday the feast of Pentecost which I have no idea at all. Brother Bobby Quitain one of my favorite speakers from Ligaya talked about the Pentecost. My favorite part of the talk is when he explained the following, “God in Us", “God before us", and “God with Us".
We started praying. Brother Bobbi initiated the worship portion. At my surprise each word struck me like tiny bullets penetrating my heart
The highlight of it was the healing. The healing may refer to physical, spiritual or emotional healing. Our proxy-group leader approached to have me prayed over. To my surprise, at the very moment she asked me what I want her to pray for, tears began swelling In my eyes like Niagara falls. I was overwhelmed at that time. So she asked me, what I wanted to pray for. My answer should have been, “I wanted to pray for the big account that I am working for. It’s very timely since I just received a bad news from them". But different set of words came out from my mouth which struck me… I replied, I’ve been asking the Lord, what He wants me to do… and what I really want to do… Now, I realize all I wanted to do was to serve our Lord." I keep on saying that, I was so speechless and I can’t help myself from crying.
After which, I started praying for other people. I prayed for Ms. Agnes my office mate who has been undergoing some problems with her family. I started praying for Marko for his career. My heart keep on exclaiming words of praise.
The whole night during my sleep, I keep on thanking the Lord. As I woke up, I still felt the same ecstasy during our prayer meeting. The Holy Spirit is truly working in me. It’s amazing how the Holy Spirit works on our hearts and how it hits us on the right spot. I wish I can share the same feeling to other people. That was first time I ever felt contentment in my life. The anxieties that I felt that time was flushed in an instance.
finally, I get to answer my question, what Pentecost is. Pentecost is the descent of the Holy Spirit which I personally experienced. I’m glad that I have the Holy Spirit within me. I feel more secured and confident as I lay my trust in Him.
I'm so blessed for having the 'BEST' boyfriend in the world
I remember I was having an argument with a friend who is much sweeter girls or boys? Now, I know the answer. Often times boyfriends are much sweeter than girlfriends.
The proof is this….
I always have my ‘happily ever after’ at my side. Yes, I am so lucky and blessed to have him. Despite me being ‘monster girlfriend’ at times and for having such a short temper, he would just smile at me and kiss my forehead while saying “kaya kita love eh…" Syempre ako guilty naman.
He also has this talent of making simple things sweet. Yes, he is indeed romantic. Sabi nga nila he’s a gem :)
We have flaws in our relationship though. We were not so hopelessly in love to each other unlike before, but now to a different level.
To my ‘ever loving supportive boyfriend’ (as I always quote. i hope you’ll be able to read this):
I love you so much. You are the reason for my sanity. Thanks for being always there for me and for letting me be there for you. I love you! I love you! I love you! I am always your own <3
Drama: Work Work Work!
These past few months has been pretty stressful for me. The feeling that everything is spinning so hard you want to take a grip and puke. I was thinking if I’m the only one putting pressure to myself. I feel so sick and tired of that idea. I hate the feeling of being so exhausted with work (sino nga ba ang hindi?). Though I keep on reminding myself that “there’s no perfect job” so… much as well enjoy what you’re doing but the problem is… I’m not enjoying it anymore.
Don’t get me wrong. I enjoy our work environment, specially now that I’m starting to have a set of girl friends; the clients that are often pain in my ass is precious for me; the company that is giving me a lenient time and giving us big bucks of commission; Our operations head that I rather consider as my mentor.
So what am I ranting about? I’m not ranting about the company I am working with. I am ranting about myself because I’m at this point of realization were in I don’t find myself in this industry anymore. As much as I wanted to force myself to embrace it, I would still fall at the same pit of quitting. And now, where do I really want to be? Honestly, I still don’t know. I’m not sure also if taking an MBA would somehow help me figure things out. This reminds me of a conversation with a president of an IT company. He asked me if I’m really sure to invest on MBA, because I would learn better on actual that I should think of it twice before I decide (btw, he was pirating me at that time).
Taking an MBA would also mean of the risk of quitting my job, however I don’t see myself not earning a penny. Again and again, I keep on asking myself “Ella Ella ano ba talaga ang gusto mo???”
Here’s a power kiss for you @oleoleol. Good luck tomorrow! I know you can do it! Just be yourself and everything will turn out well. Break a leg ;) love lots from your dearest Ella (p.s ‘huwag masyado kabahan’) (Taken with instagram)
Music Doll
I got this music doll in watson’s for my 18th birthday which I eventually gave to my boyfriend to remind him of me. He often finds this music doll creepy and my dog also finds her creepy too, specially when it starts making sounds.
I got inspired to learn the basics of DSLR when I watched video tutorials from FroKnowsPhoto.com. Looking for an interesting subject, I chose my music doll as my model. I shoot different angles of her.
Well, I was bit pretty impress with my work :)
Here’s Marko busy watching anime series on my iPad. He usually does that during his free time.
I used to like anime series way back in my high school days but now I have loose my likes on it. I remember those days when I fantasize for Tamahome (fushigi yuugi) as my boyfriend.
I just love when he does that. He looks so lazy!!!!!!!! So perfect :D
