Conquer Friday with a pink wig and red pumps

Borrowed my officemate's wig.
(I would have wanted to wear this during lunch just to annoy my date.)

Really need to lose weight! :((

Thank you =)

Can you beat something with cheerfulness and happy thoughts?

I would like to think so. I was quite scared of what the doctor would find out in my follow-up consultation yesterday. He found nothing! And so we ended up talking about how he got the cheap but beautiful paintings in his clinic.

Thank you, Lord, for listening to me. I remain humbled. I will remain humbled by this experience. Please do not let them come back again.

Thank You for keeping me under your care.

Yours,
Jen

P.S. Please take good care of Christine as she takes her first plane ride abroad today. Keep her safe, may she arrive smoothly in Heidelberg. And may she make the most out of her stay there - let her do well in her research and experience things that she will always look back with fondness.

P.S.S. And happy birthday, bading! All the best in life. Huwag masyado uminom ng alcohol. Pangit ka! You didn't even greet me on my birthday! Seriously, thank you. You have helped me a lot during those difficult times.

You're a Life Lover
People often comment on your refined nature and sense of calm. Your love of all things arty often shines through in your bright, intelligent conversation and your traditionalist nature is often reflected in your tastes and style. When all is said and done, you are a bit of an intellect with a tendency to do a spot of soul searching from time to time.

You're creative and imaginative and like to be inspired. Home is where your heart is and you love nothing more than putting personal touches to your space. You're laid-back and relaxed with a very healthy attitude to life. Naturally down-to-earth, you don't believe in sweating the small stuff. Life's for living, with minimum stress and maximum enjoyment and so fun with family and friends is top of the list as far as you're concerned. Food is a definite passion too and you're always up for tantalizing your taste buds. You're a bit of a dreamer at heart. But there's nothing wrong with that. Set your sights high and you'll create the life you deserve. The Home and Garden section is perfect for you - bring the latest trends into your home.

No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man. --Heraclitus

Noting this down so I won't forget. And that hopefully, through baby steps, I will learn how to truly love another.

There is no difficulty that enough love will not conquer, no disease that enough love will not heal, no door that enough love will not bridge, no wall that enough love will not throw down, no sin that enough love will not redeem.
It makes no difference how deeply seated may be the trouble, how hopeless the outlook, how muddled the tangle, how great the mistake.
A sufficient realization of love will dissolve it all.
If only you could love enough, you could be the happiest and most powerful being in the world.

Realizations today and yesterday

Yesterday, I got hit on the face: The world doesn't revolve around me.

And that two people, whose lives used to be strongly intertwined, could live totally different lives. And these experiences have resulted to significant personal transformations that may hinder them from getting back again.

Today, I have realized that there are no limits to what I can do (through Christ). At this age, the world can still be at my feet.

I will keep on living.

Some surprises at home one late night after work

I was glad to receive a postcard from Father Tom one evening!

On another evening, I was surprised to see my green banana in the closet all so ripe, ready to be eaten!
