God's message for me today
Dear Ryah,
Life is a giant restaurant. And you’re the customer. And the universe is the waiter. All of my creation is waiting for your order. What do you want? Most of what you’re experiencing in your life is a result of what you have ordered.Restaurant Owner,
God
God
P.S. Ryah, you order through your thoughts, your words, and your deeds.
Order wisely.
Order wisely.

Yes Lord God, I will order wisely. ;)
I wish you enough...
A day after Valentines, I checked on Paulo Coehlo's blog, which I read once in awhile. Below is his post for Valentines which I find very timely and relevant for all of us. In this time and age, I believe that "having enough" of the basics is what we really need to achieve happiness.

I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright no matter how gray the day may appear.
I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun even more.
I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive and everlasting.
I wish you enough pain so that even the smallest of joys in life may appear bigger.
I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.
I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final good- bye.

Dear Ryah,
The inner world will always control the outer world. Don’t be afraid of storms around you. It’s the storms inside you that can destroy you. The stress. The tension. The worry.
Peace-Giver,
God
God
P.S. Surrender all that to me, Ryah.

Yes, Lord God, I surrender everything to you.

Yes, Lord God, I surrender everything to you.
How I celebrated my Valentines 2011
I initially thought of celebrating this day with the Lord. ;)
I was invited by Hazel to attend a bible study last 7 February, that night I attended. The bible study is every Monday night. So for 14 February, I planned to attend and it would be my way of celebrating this day with HIM. But while I was having breakfast, my momsy told me that she would be my "date." She wanted to watch a movie in the evening so I dropped my plan to attend the bible study, I'm sure the Lord would understand. ;)
I woke up that day with a happy feeling, I was very thankful because I thought that I would feel sad... I greeted my colleagues and it was a sincere greeting. Of course, I miss the man of my life, this is probably one of the very few times that we weren't together to celebrate this occasion but I was glad that I didn't have a sad feeling about it. Thank you Lord!
I looked forward to the lunch date with my friends/officemates. The day went well. After work, I left the office right away to have dinner and watch movie with my family. I enjoyed that very precious time of bonding with them... I feel so blessed that my family is complete and we are all in a healthy state. After dinner, we watched "The Mechanic." I liked the movie and I didn't fall asleep, surprisingly! You should watch it if you are into action movies. ;)
That's how I celebrated Valentines 2011, grateful, loved & blessed ;)
God's message for me today
Dear Ryah,
Sometimes, I will lead you into a storm. Because storms are good. Storms shake you. And shaking is good. Shaking takes away your pride. Shaking takes away your complacency.
Hold on,
God
P.S. Ryah, shaking forces you to grow. And I want you to grow.
Thank you Lord!
The past week was again so tough for me emotionally and mentally. I thank God that He never gives up on me and He always shows me how to pick up the pieces and start all over again. Last Sunday, I realized some things and God revealed to me how I should handle my life and I guess, it is working well for me.
When people around me notice something good in me, I thank God for giving me the strength to face life with hope and optimism amidst my trial. Every smile, every happy feeling, every blessing comes from God and I will never be able to move on without His loving presence in my life.
My purpose is for people to see how God works in my life, whether they know my struggle or not. I want them to see how good our God is. God is good, all the time!
Thank you Lord for everything! I am nothing without You!
Lunch Date on Hearts' Day
Yesterday, my friends(officemates) had lunch to celebrate Hearts Day. Though it was quite ironic because all the food (Barbeque, Sisig, Pork and Chicken Lechon) were not good for the heart! ;p
Thanks to Cris who initiated the email and suggested that we have lunch for this occasion. I volunteered to bring a cake. Nicki suggested to have the gelato cake from Caramia (Amici), I ordered Merry Berries, it was so yummy!! ;)
from L-R (Ms. Vicky, Karen C., Ms. Fe, Angela, Cris,
Karen G., LJ, Ms. Myrna and Rhina)
Yummy Merry Berries ;)
By the way, when I picked up the cake in our receiving area, there was a rose that went with the cake(a freebie from the delivery)! Atleast I "received" a flower on Hearts Day! ;)
Happy HD!!
Happy Hearts' Day everyone!;)
This is a friend's prenup photo, taken just this weekend. They will get married next month. Thanks Rica for sharing this photo with me first hand, I am really honored. ;) I wish you a blissful marriage for a lifetime!
In search of a black bag..
...and black shoes..
Black is a basic color so most women (and even men) have black bags and black shoes. Well, I am one of the very few who do not have, if not the only one who doesn't have a black bag and a black shoes. Ok, I do have a black shoes which I bought in September 2009, I had an interview so I had to wear the typical corporate attire, of course, with a matching black shoes. That's the first and the last time I wore that "interview" shoes. Last year, when I had my spring cleaning of clothes, bags and shoes, I gave away my one and only black bag because the bag itself is heavy and I think it already served me well(meaning I am just opening an opportunity to buy a new one:)). Well, it's been months and I have not bought a black bag and it's been more than a year since I last bought and wore a black shoes. So I guess, it's about time to get these basics.
This week, I dropped by the mall twice, last Tuesday and yesterday, for this purpose. In both attempts, I failed to buy a black bag and shoes and ended up buying these bags and a wallet, yes, all brown, no black. Now, I will have to make a confession, I am not really into black when it comes to bags and shoes(that's why I can live without it)...and I am into brown(and its shades) when it comes to bags (and shoes and belts, etc. hehehe). I am also into bags with long strap, both bags have long straps.
I bought all these in Parfois (Megamall), this store opened in December 2010, the first branch opened in Glorietta in June 2010. This week, when I first discovered this store, I fell in love with it right away. I like the accessories, the bags, the wallets, etc. They also have shoes but didn't like any of the styles (yet).:)
By the way, Parfois is a Portugal brand, it means "sometimes." I hope I will be able to resist and only buy bags "sometimes." ;p

Dear Ryah,
Your reality is only limited by your vision. What you hold in your hand is only limited by what you see in your mind. Your inner world will always manifest in your outer world.
Manifest,
God
P.S. Here’s a fact: Your imagination is a blueprint of what will happen in your world, Ryah.

3 THINGS
I know it's kinda late for new year's resolution though I do have a new year's resolution which I wrote in my "diary." There were 12 or 13 items, really personal resolutions that's why I didn't post it here. Just today, I realized that there were too many and I decided to condense them into three things.
Here they are, this will be my way of life, I hope this list will work best for me.
1. No negativities. I will focus on my blessings, focus on the positive.
2. No expectations. I will let God surprise me as His beautiful plan for my life unfolds.
3. Live in the now. I will choose to be happy and take things one at a time.
