watching a docu about past presidents

was about to sleep.. . (no, actually, I'm studying haha!) then the documentary (entitled NEWSMAKERS) about the past presidents of the Philippines (from Marcos to Macapagal) caught my attention.. . it's like there are still lots of things that I know nothing about (well.. .wasn't born yet.. .during the presidency of Marcos.. haha up to the People Power)

anyways.. .it's just intriguing (I must say.. .haha di ko lam kung mahilig lang ba ko sa issues or what.. hehe) i find studying the past very cool! (but I don't like history really.. .) it's just that I feel like there's a need to study it.. .or look back.. .what went wrong.. .why our country is like this now.. .why is this and that happening.. . what happened during their presidency.. . stuffs like that.. . were there conspiracies.. . (for the sake of power?) whatever.. . (and I found out that Ramos is Marcos' cousin.. haha sounds fishy.. .) whatever.. .

I don't know.. .maybe to some, this stuff seems nonsense.. .but for me, I care about it.. .I care about this country.. . it's just sad that because people want power, they'll do whatever they can to achieve it.. .it's sad that people win the trust of some, and betray them afterwards.. .it's just so sad.. . Some say that indeed, wala nang pag-asa ang Pilipinas.. . but you know what.. .the hope of the Philippines is not in the president's hands.. .nor in any government official.. . it's in God's hands.. . alone.. .

idealistic? impossible? far from reality? religious? NAH.. .

that's faith.. . that's called holding on.. .

Just can't help but love this country that God loves.. .
even if everyone's leaving.. .
I still hope that someday.. .His promises shall come to pass.. .
And I'm gonna experience it here.. .
Not in any other country.. .

Issues of the mom-heart

I've read somewhere that everyone's miserable. They're just good at hiding it. I have been trying to find out why this new season seems to be a burden to me. Don't get me wrong -- I enjoy motherhood and I love my little one but something seems to be blocking my view of experiencing it joyfully.  Callie's already 10 months and everything just dawned on me -- why I was struggling, why I can't see things the way it should be, why I felt ineffective and frustrated and depressed. I think I just had post-partum depression.  I just got back from my US business trip and I just bursted into tears a few days after while singing Jesus loves me -- as if I'm telling that to myself. I'm grateful that I have a husband who listens and understands and encourages me that I can do it! I just realized the root cause(s) of what's going on after that incident. I was too attached to Callie that I don't want her to leave my site when I'm with her. I

Maturity

I was reading a long-overdue-book and I bumped into this: I have been married for almost two years now and I suddenly reminisced my late teenage years... It was in those years when God made me realize that maturity doesn't come with age... I was younger then, when I understood this very excerpt from the book Let Me Be a Woman (funny how everything He taught me is already in this book had I not stopped reading it! Indeed His humor is amazing). I started reading this way back 2007 or 2008 only to continue it now and read this now. I stopped reading it way back then because I don't have plans of getting married yet... little did I know that He will make me understand this in His own personal way. And right now, I was like, "So Lord, You must be saying, 'I told you so..' right?" haha! ...  The key to meeting your better half starts with maturity. And maturity comes from God.   To those who are still searching for their better half, don't. Don&#

Thoughts

Exodus Moses brought Joseph's bones out of Egypt when God freed them. Joseph made his family swear under oath that when God pays them a visit, they have to carry his bones with them. Joseph mentioned that surely, God will take them to the land He promised Abraham, Isaac & Jacob. Maybe, Joseph's brothers tell this to their sons & daughters so even after x number of years, they are still reminded of Joseph's request. The Israelites know that the time will come when God will take them out of Egypt but maybe they just didn't believe so He needed Moses to perform the miracles, that they might know Him, trust Him and believe in Him. Sometimes, we know what God said and what God promised us... but when it's already in front of us, it's hard to determine that God is already moving. Why? Because we are comfortable with the misery that we are in to. It dulls our senses and makes us forget the promise of God. Be careful with where you are right now.
