The Sweetest Thing

This week, I was not feeling well due to my period and colds. I am planning to visit my dear friend, Shervel, this weekend but due to my sickness, I would probably postpone it, again...

I saw her last 5 February when I attended the baptism of her firstborn Enzo, I was one of the godmothers. We did not have a chance to talk because I left the church right after the ceremony, I did not proceed to the reception anymore.

Here are some of our photos at the church:
Shervel is one of my dearest friends, we were schoolmates in college but we became friends 9 years after we graduated. The friendship started in January 2009, I was newly married (3months), she was newly married too, (nearly a month). The story of our friendship started there, my bh and I were there for her when her marriage was tested at a very early stage... They were able to survive that very tough trial and now they are happy and blessed with a very cute baby, my inaanak, Enzo Matteo.

This photo was taken in 2009 when we watched Breakfast at Tiffany's at Rockwell Powerplant.
Shervel knew my situation just last month (but not yet the details), weeks after I attended the baptism, I didn't tell her about it because she was pregrant (gave birth on 13 December) and didn't want her to feel sad about it. I know she's very eager to see me, I feel the same, since she learned about my situation, she emails me from time to time and she's asking when can we meet. I texted her and told her that I might not be able to visit them this weekend due to my colds, I don't want baby Enzo to get sick too because of my virus.

Shervel's response was the sweetest thing, she told me to just let her know if I could make it, she would cook "sinigang" and would prepare calamansi juice for me. I feel so loved, God has blessed me with wonderful family and friends, I feel so pampered, even those who do not know my situation, they treat me so well, I could not think of any other reason for this but only because of God's love, He loves me and makes me realize that life is worth-living and truly beautiful, the people around me, my angels-on-earth, they are my greatest blessings, if you are reading this, you are certainly one of them, you are heaven-sent.

Thank you... you know who you are...  

On Happy Colors

I have some favorite blogsites which I visit once in awhile. Just today, I checked this site and found these colorful photos (I love the colors and the photography), I read the post, it was about Kate Spade's new bag line. I checked the Kate Spade's website and I have to admit, there are items that I really liked, haayyy..  I will have to stop right now.. ;)
Soon, you will see more of these happy colors here (I hope, surprise, surprise!) ;)

How do I usually spend my weekend?

On weekends, if I don't have a particular plan to go out, I usually take advantage of it by doing what I love to do, I read books and some printed materials that I bring home, I watch movies on my laptop, I blog, I write my thought in my "diary," I listen to my favorite songs using my ipod while cleaning and/or organizing my room. Well, I also have to do things that I don't particularly like doing, for example, folding and ironing my clothes. ;) But in the coming weekends, I should seriously and religiously set aside time to practice driving. I really want to learn how to drive, I need to practice a lot to gain confidence. This should be on top of my priorities for the year. Good luck to me! ;)
