I'm leaving on a Jet Plane [04 Jul 2003|01:24am]
We're leaving for australia tomorrow. I'm soooooo excited but at the same time soooooo anxious. It's gonna be our (sis and I) first time to travel without close adult supervision...oh well...we're both adults now...LOL...it's gonna be our first time on our own. We still don't know where we'll be staying since staying with my fairy bitch mother is out of the question...we're looking into staying in one of those backpackers hostels...it's cheaper. Man I'm sooooooooo excited!!!

I went to school this week...tried working on my clearance...still not yet done...I guess I'm taking my time if I get done with it then I wouldn't have any reason to go back to school. When they saw me last Tuesday they looked really pleased....lol...they missed me...hehe. Well they loved my new do...hehe! It was really cool seeing my old co teachers...I kinda feel bad for them...they've been complaining about our boss...i heard she's been treating my best friend badly:( that's why my friend has been really down...i kinda feel bad for leaving her:( I have to admit I miss my friends in school. I also miss my students. I saw a couple of them last Tuesday...it was cool...they were excited to see me...hehe! Too bad i didn't get to see this student that I'm really fond of...I've been dreaming of him for the past two nights...it was weird...in my dream he was crying in my first dream...then in my second dream a friend of his approached me and blamed me for making his friend's life miserable...apparently after i left my job this kid has had a miserable life...lol...it was really weird...i don't know I guess it's my wishful thinking...i think i'm wishing someone would make me feel important...hehe...i wish somehow i've had an impact on any of my students lives. oh well...it may also be my hidden desire for this student....EWWWWWWW...LOL!!!

well this'll be it for now...it's getting really late...i badly need my beauty rest...hehe....nighty nite!

My New Do [26 Jun 2003|09:55pm]
[ mood | cheerful ]
[ music | Meteor Rain by F4 ]

Late this afternoon, my mom asked me to buys some vegetables for dinner so I thought it’d be the perfect time for me to get my haircut. So I went to the grocery, got the stuff we need, then the bank to get some money for my haircut then I went straight to the salon. As I entered the salon the attendant treated me like a queen, we went straight to the sink, she shampooed my hair and massaged my scalp, it was perfect cause I had this really bad headache. Then she led me to the dresser. They gave me some magazines. The stylist asked me what I want for my hair, I told her to cut three inches off each layer, then I saw this girl in the magazine, she was wearing this gorgeous Jennifer Aniston layered/bob so I asked her whether she can make my hair look like that, she said yes. I was really excited cause I’ve been wearing my hair the same way for the past four years. Well my excitement was cut short when she made her first cut, she cut five inches off my hair(my hair was shoulder length, just imagine how short it is right now), my excitement turned to fear.(hehehehe!) I felt my heart pound really fast as she continued cutting my hair really short. The Jennifer Aniston look I was hoping for turned into an F4 look, I have Lei’s hair!!! (For those who don’t know F4, they’re this Taiwanese boy band who’s driving the Filipinos crazy) Well it’s really not that bad, it’s just that the last time I wore my hair this short was when I was in high school, I guess I’m not used to it. I’ve been looking at myself in the mirror for the past hours (lol) and the look is starting to grow on me, I think it makes me look younger and more feisty (hehe) I no longer look like a high school teacher(hehe), my mom(my number one critic) and my grams love my do so I guess I should be happy huh? I just don’t know how my friends in school and my former students will react when they see me tomorrow(hehe)

Crazy Love [25 Jun 2003|10:15pm]
[ mood | giggly ]
[ music | Hey Love by Jason Mraz ]

This morning I had the most wonderful surprise:) Someone proposed to me...well it's a really long story and since I'm a bum and as of this moment I have all the time in the world to babble about this strange relationship I'm in I'll narrate this long story...hehe.

I know it's going to sound really stupid...pathetic even...lol...well I'm in a cyber relationship. I met him around four year ago. I didn't really intend to get involved since at that time I thought that only stupid people fall in love with people they haven't even seen before...well it turned out that I'm actually one stupid girl...lol. We started out as each other's sounding board...we talked about anything and everything...then we became each other's confidante...I know the idea of having a stranger as a confidante sounds really silly but it was actually a good thing for me...I got to vent out my frustrations in life, my problems regarding my loved ones, my crazy plans and my dark secrets without having to worry about being laughed at and ridiculed...oh well maybe he laughed at my crazy ideas but he didn't get to laugh at my face...and it was a also good because he didn't get to judge me...he looked at my issues objectively. It didn't take long 'til we became good friends. We'd talk for hours...I told him things I can never tell my friends and my family. After around six months he disappeared...I was thinking he probably got tired of chatting so he ditched me...I didn't see him for almost a month and it drove me crazy...I was so worried cause I was afraid something bad might have happened to him or something so I kept on sending him emails...I know it was crazy of me to actually wait but I did...even I don't know what happened to me when I allowed myself to be subjected to the torture of waiting for nothing. Well after a month of waiting I got an email from his mom...at first I thought it was kinda weird...then I got scared…why the heck would his mom send me an email? Apparently he got into a car accident...he broke his legs and he had to go through rehabilitation. After a couple of weeks I got an email from him, that's when I realized that something was actually happening between us...he told me he met Christ. I never told him I’m a Christian and I never told him that from the start I knew that one thing that wouldn’t allow us to be involved romantically, aside from the fact that we’re like poles apart, is the fact that we don’t share the same faith, he’s Catholic and I’m Protestant. He told me that I somehow led him to Christ, when he saw the emails I sent him he was overwhelmed by the concern I showed him and it convinced him that we met for a reason…he thinks I’m God sent. It scared me, I used to have all these excuses but when the time came when it was obvious that God was the one working in us, it terrified me. He said he’s in love with me and I finally had enough courage to admit that I was also starting to fall for him.
So we’ve been in this “relationship” for around three years and in those three years there have been a number of times when I wanted to call it quits because being in a long distance relationship is like not being a relationship at all since you never see each other, all you have are words exchanged through email, chat or phone conversations. Well these past few weeks have been like those times, we haven’t spoken in a couple of weeks, I’ve been sending him emails but he always claims he’s too busy to check his email, so I was quite sure that our end is getting nearer. Last week we spoke and he said we needed to talk about something I wrote him on one of my emails, to tell you frankly I couldn’t even remember what I’ve been writing but he sounded serious so I figured he probably wants to end this stupid relationship we’re in. This morning I called him to ask when we can have time to talk about important things, before I even got the chance to ask him about it he started talking about quitting his job, flying over to the Philippines, meeting up with me, marrying me, getting a house by the beach and living a peaceful life with me and our kids. I didn’t know what to say, he caught me by surprise. I asked him whether he’s sure he’d want to do that, he said “yes”. He asked me whether I’m up to it, I said “yes” so we’re getting married.
He wants to marry me, can you believe that??? I can’t, but I’m happy he does! He said he just has to wait ‘til his lease on his apartment expires four months from now, after that he’d be free to do everything he said he’d want to do. I need a sound mind to figure things out, I don’t have one right now being excited and scared at the same time LOL, should I believe him? Should I take him seriously? Nobody knows me the way he does, he’s the only person in this world who really understands me and knows who I really am. I’ve been praying for this moment but now that it is here I’m scared to death. Why does life have to be this complicated???

My second day as a bum didn't go well. I spent the entire day feeling really sorry for myself...thanks to my mom who has constantly been trying to make me feel guilty for giving up my job. I'm actually tempted to tell her the truth behind my resignation...if she only knew what I've gone through for the past three months she'll probably go crazy. I am not well...the thought of death has been hovering around my mind...my life seems really pointless right now...I really wouldn't mind if it ends anytime soon. I noticed that I'm hating my dad more and more...seeing him, hearing him and being in contact with him really irritate me. I still don't know where I'll end up...I'm scared.

It seems as if God is not listening to me. All i'm asking for right now is someone who'l truly understand me, someone who will not judge me, someone who will take care of me...after everything I've gone through don't I deserve a shoulder to cry on...arms that will make me feel safe...don't I deserve love???

New Day [19 Jun 2003|10:13am]
Today was the first day of my bumming around days and there's so much to be done...hehe. It was funny cause I woke up at around 6:30...I guess my body clock is still adjusting to the sweet fact that I don't have to worry anymore about waking up early in the morning...well I went back to sleep again and got up at around 9:30am. Had breakfast...watched TV...played the piano...took a bath...watched disc 1 of My Big Fat Greek Wedding (John Corbett was totally dreamy...wait did I spell his name correctly?)...surfed the net looking for Vic Zhou pics...hehe...then watched Meteor Garden...played with my nephews...then cooked dinner (we had steak...yum yum!)...watched buffy...played the piano again...then played the quitar...then I started surfing the net:) I know it doesn't seem really eventful well that was actually my point in resigning...I want to live a non-eventful life...for now...i badly need rest after the emotional rollercoaster ride I had last summer.

Yesterday was a memorable day...it was my last day at work. I spent the entire day at school feeling all nostalgic...it was weird cause the day felt as if it was really long. I got to say goodbye to my former students who wouldn't stop hounding me around school ever since they found out I'd be leaving. Got to say goodbye to my forbidden love...hehe...didn't think he'd actually come up to me but he did...it's weird whenever he comes up to me he just keeps quiet...well we just keep quiet...it has always been really awkward between us but I'm sure so much is being said in those silent awkward moments...hehe...one thing I won't forget about him are those moments when I catch him looking at me...I know he likes seeing me smile so I smiled a lot whenever I'm around him...hehe. Said goodbye to my friends...it was really difficult...it sucks...just when I realize that I have good friends at work that I can really trust all these crazy things started happening in my life...oh well I guess life's like that...I know I need not worry cause eventhough I'm no longer with them I know they'll be my friends forever:) After work we went straight to Libis...we had dinner together...it was crazy...it was fun cause we were all laughing while we were eating...what could be more fun than doing those two things...hehe.

At the end of the day I felt complete. Well I have to admit I'm scared cause I still don't know what to do with my life but I'm happy I made this decision...God has blessed me so much in the three years I spent teaching...He blessed me by giving me the chance to touch people's lives...I won't be able to thank Him enough for giving me students who love me. It's amazing...for the past years i've been wondering whether I'm actually making a difference in the world...before I left school I realized I did...it was cool, yesterday I got to talk to my former students from the last three batches I handled and seeing how they've grown into fine young men I know I played part in their development *sighs*

I know I should change the title of my journal...I'm no longer a "maestra" ...maybe I should change it to "SUPERSTAR" hehe. I'm so excited about the countless possibilities I have before me...I'm planning on travelling...I'll be going to australia next month...my sister and I are planning on putting up a business...I know now I have enough time to practice my piano and guitar playing and it won't be long 'til I finally compose my very first song...there's so much to be done....I actually don't know where to start:) Well please wish me luck:)

ex maestra [17 Jun 2003|09:33am]
This is strange...tomorrow's my last day at work...i've been looking forward to that day but I'm feeling really sad:( Today I discovered that there people who actually love me:(

I had lunch with my moderating class last year. I was really surprised...I didn't think they'd want to eat lunch with me so I was expecting only a few of them but when I arrived at the cafeteria I saw all of them waiting for me. I wanted to cry when I saw them. It was crazy...I didn't even get to eat lunch because we were all too busy talking and laughing at silly things...it was like the old times:( They love me...they actually love me. I never believed them when they told me they love me but now I know they do and I'm happy about it.

From the time I started working in my school I've always looked forward to leaving...I've always had this desire to just leave and look for another job...now that I'm about to go I'm starting to appreciate the job I had. I may not miss all the paper works but I'll surely miss my friends:( Tomorrow I'll be going out with my friends...it's going to be my sending away party:( Man...I know i'll cry tomorrow...I hate crying...I hate saying goodbye

I'm in Love(it's the real thing) [14 Jun 2003|12:50pm]
[ mood | anxious ]
[ music | Where You Will Go by The Calling ]

It's almost one in the morning...just finished cooking for our Father's day luncheon tomorrow in church. I'm kinda tired and my mind is kinda hazy right now...I would like to apologize in advance since this entry may sound incoherent and disturbing (bad combination...hehe)

So lately, I've been wonderin
Who will be there to take my place
When I'm gone, you'll need love
To light the shadows on your face
If a great wave shall fall
It would fall upon us all
And between the sand and stone
Could you make it on your own

[chorus:]
If I could, then I would
I'll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low
I'll go wherever you will go

And maybe, I'll find out
The way to make it back someday
To watch you, to guide you
Through the darkest of your days
If a great wave shall fall
It would fall upon us all
Well I hope there's someone out there
Who can bring me back to you

[chorus]

Runaway with my heart
Runaway with my hope
Runaway with my love

I know now, just quite how
My life and love might still go on
In your heart and your mind
I'll stay with you for all of time

[chorus]

If I could turn back time
I'll go wherever you will go
If I could make you mine
I'll go wherever you will go

Right now I'm listening to "Wherever You Will Go" by The Calling...lately it has been one of my favorite songs...never really liked it before but I guess it grew on me. Why do I like it??? Disclosing the reason is kinda difficult...been hiding this inside myself for the past weeks for fear of what other people may think of me after they discover this secret that I've been hiding. I think I'm falling in love with this guy...I'm not supposed to feel this way about him, but I do. I'm actually hoping this is just a phase and that eventually I'd forget about him but part of me doesn't want that to happen so instead of stepping back I move forward...pursuing him. I believe he likes me too...that's something big for me...it's seldom that guys actually find anything attractive in me but whenever I see him looking at me I know that he likes what he sees. I don't know...I guess it may just be my imagination. Well I can't do anything about this anyway...I know this'll just die down...he'll eventually forget about me and hope the same thing for myself. I know I'll live my life forever guessing what couldn't have had happened if our circumstances were different...*sighs*...you know I'd give anything to just get the chance to tell him I love him but that won't happen...it'll be too complicated...I'd get in BIG TROUBLE:( Well at least I got to know him even for just a period of time...at least I got love him even if it was just from afar*sighs* I'll be saying goodbye to him soon:(

MAN I NEED A LIFE!!!

Last days... [12 Jun 2003|11:26pm]
[ mood | melancholy ]
[ music | Walk On by U2 ]

It finally dawned on me...there's no more turning back...next week will be my last week in school. I thought I'd be able to at least finish this month before I go but my boss told me that they've found a replacement for me. It's kinda ironic...I've been waiting for this moment of freedom but now that it's near I feel really bad. I guess I wasn't prepared to hear it from her.

Classes began this week. Last Tuesday while I was at the cafeteria looking for something to eat my former students started hounding me. They seemed really excited to see me. When I saw their happy faces I started wondering whether I made the right decision. I realized how much I'm going to miss them but like what I said there's no more turning back. I know I should do this..I know God is leading me to another place so that I can go back to teaching more equipped in making a difference in other people's lives.

first day of my last days [09 Jun 2003|01:24pm]
Today was the first day of my last days in school. It's kinda weird...early this morning I was really excited about going to work(school)...this is actually a first for me since in the past I usually curse the day classes resume after the summer vacation. I guess this excitement...i may even call it joy....springs from the knowledge that this phase of my life will be ending soon and I should try my very best to leave this place with a BANG.

I never thought I'd say this but I'm actually sad about leaving. This morning there were people who spoke to me and asked whether the news about my leaving is true...I told them it's true. What really struck me was their openness in saying that they're sad to see me go. I know for some that was just a polite reaction to the news but I know some are actually sincere. I know I've been complaining about how cold the work place in my school has been but I should say that I've also met some wonderful people in this place...and I know I will miss them. I guess it's true that the only time you'll get to appreciate the people around you is when you're about to lose them and worse...when they're already gone. Well I can no longer do anything about...I've made my decision and there's no more turning back...I'm just proud to say that I'll be leaving good memories of myself to the people who have been a part of my life in the past three years that I've spent in Ateneo. to be continued...

Crazy Days [03 Jun 2003|10:20pm]
[ mood | contemplative ]
[ music | Everything by Lifehouse ]

Just got back from a party. A good friend of mine celebrated her 19th birthday so from Subic we went straight to her party at Q.C.

SUbic was ok...it would have been better if it stopped raining while we were there but we got stuck in our house since we were too lazy to go out in the rain. We got to go to Ocean Adventure though...it was ok...but I know it would have been better if it were sunny...we would have enjoyed the place more. I didn't get to buy a doll:( I know it sounds really silly but I see to it that each time we go to Subic I buy myself a porcelain doll for my doll collection...this year I didn't get to buy one because like what I said we were too lazy to even go to the commercial area...we just stayed home watching TV.

Traffic was mad on our way home(...imagine, we spent 7 hours in traffic!!! It was really frustrating because later on, after spending hours in traffic you realize the source of the heavy traffic...you see three men filling pot holes with asphalt during rush hour...how brilliant is that???

Like what I mentioned at the beginning of this entry, we just got home from a party. A family friend of ours celebrated her 19th birthday. I know sounds kinda weird for a girl to have a big bday bash on her 19th bday since it's usually on the 18th bday that a girl would have a big bday bash...well her case is special. Last year she was supposed to have a big bday bash for her 18th bday but her younger brother died a month before she was to turn 18...it was really sad...everything was already prepared for that party but they decided to cancel it of course. That's why she had a big bday bash early this evening. The party was ok...it was very simple...but despite it's simplicity I felt this certain warmth. One thing that really struck me during the program was the relationship between the celebrant and her sister. If you look at them, they're totally opposite and yet you know they have a special bond between them. I envy them. I have good relationships with my sisters but I wish we can be more open to each other. This evening I made a very big decision...I told Jona about my problem. I told her about our dad. I don't know if I made the right decision in telling her cause I think she's taking it really hard...I wish she'll do ok. I needed to share it with somebody...I know that it's not enough for my dad to just tell me that nothing is going on...we need to know that he's telling the truth. I don't know what we'll do about it...but at least I feel a bit better now since I know that someone understands me now. I just pray that God will give us the wisdom so that we'll know how to deal with this.

Like what I said in my last entry I finally quit my job. I have mixed emotions right now...a part of me is really relieved but the other part of me is terrified. I know people will think that I'm crazy for giving up my job but I know I did the right thing. I know God is calling me...and I'm ready to answer His call. Please pray for me...I haven't told my parents...Please pray for me!

[ mood | exhausted ]

I'm back!!! Just came back from camp. Well I wasn't supposed to be in the camp but due to the events that took place last weekend I decided to go...I really needed God's guidance.

This the part where I should be talking about how I had a blast at camp...hehe...but I don't think that's possible. I didn't exactly have a blast actually I spent most of my time in camp complaining about how the staff were so inefficient (I'm BAD!)...I've handled some camps before and I just know that they could have done better for the kids...but even though I didn't enjoy the activities I can say that God spoke to me through the camp. The theme of the camp was about standing out and making a difference in the world. It was very timely because at this point in my life I'm carefully considering full time service for God. These past three days things have become more clear to me...right now I'm overpowered by my burden for the salvation of the people around me...I know I should make a difference. I still don't know how I'd do it...I was kinda turned off by bible school because I met some undesirable people who happen to work/study in bible schools...lol...but I'm not closing my doors to it...I know the only way I can really serve Him fully is by studying His word.

Another thing that made the camp really difficult is the horrible weather. I love rain but when it starts raining inside the house you're in it's a different things. It was raining the whole time...we weren't able to really enjoy the place because of the rain.

Well I guess I should this entry here...my brain's too tired to come up with a coherent entry. good night!

Rollercoaster Ride [24 May 2003|11:40pm]
[ mood | enlightened ]
[ music | Everything by Lifehouse ]

God is shaking my once perfect world. It's funny how I used to complain about how boring my life is but now that God is putting some action and drama in my life i'm complaining. Today has been a rollercoaster ride for me.

My day started with a really confusing time at work. The whole time that I was in school I was contemplating at the idea of resigning...well actually I wasn't just contemplating I was kinda sure about what I really want. I asked my bestfriend about it and she told me to go for it...according to her I look horrible whenever I'm in school...lol...she said it's actually not good for me.

After work I went straight to the mall. I was supposed to meet my mom but my mom wasn't able to go so i went out shopping on my own. I splurged on books and cd's:) I actually felt happy for a while. While I was drinking coffee at Figaro I got a text message from my dad telling me he got my email...the one about his mistress. He claims nothing happened to them and he asked for my forgiveness...there's really no way for me to know whether he's telling the truth...but I have no choice but to take his word for it...who am i to not forgive??? When I got home he said sorry and hugged me really tightly. I don't know what'll happen...I really hope he's telling the truth.

I wanted to cry but of course I couldn't do it while I was still at the mall...so I cried when I got in the car. I cried all the way home.

This whole experience of mine seem like a really baaaaaad experience but I actually got something good out of it. It made me realize that I should put my trust in man alone...people will fail me...even those that I love and those who love me...I should put my trust in God alone. this experience made me stronger in my faith. It's as if God allowed this really bad thing to happen to me so that I'll finally let go of everything and leave it all up to Him...trust that God is in control. For the past years it felt like I've been running from God...I've been trying to hide from Him...this time I'm ready to give my life to Him.

fears [21 May 2003|11:28pm]
I have this best friend who migrated to the states. We've known each other since we were kids and like what I said I consider her as my best friend. Around 3 years ago they left for the states so I only get to communicate with her through email and text messages. Well I checked out her blog this evening and as I was reading her blog I realized how she has changed. I'm afraid we're growing apart:(...when we see each other we'd probably find ourselves searching for things to talk about...she's living a life that is entirely different from mine. She's got new friends now...she's living her dream of becoming a singer...she's really matured in her faith and she has a social life...then I look at myself...I realize that I'm such a loser. Why is life like this??? Is it because I'm sitting around here asking these questions??? I don't think so...I don't sit around here all day...lol...I'm living a life...I have a job...I have a ministry in our church...I still sing...but if I put my life against hers people would definitely know who's living a good life. I know it may sound as if I'm envious of her life...well I must admit I'm a bit envious but what I'm feeling right now is more of FEAR...fear of realizing later on when I'm older that I didn't live life...fear of finding myself alone without friends when I grow older...fear of never experiencing what it's like to love...I have all these fears and i think they're making me paralyzed:(

I miss my friend:(

Tired:( [21 May 2003|11:01pm]
I really think I'm going crazy...lol. One moment i'm ok next minute I'm breaking down again...I'm definitely going nuts. Didn't go to work yesterday...I didn't have to courage to face my colleagues after making that scene last Friday...well it actually was a good thing I didn't go to work cause Phia told me that the reflection yesterday morning was similar to the reflection that was given last Friday so if I were there I would have made another scene...probably a grander scene. I went to work today...when I go to school I realized that we won't be doing our departmental job today, instead we'll be having our psycho-spiritual exercises...you know those exercise where they make you reflect on your life. I'm usually excited about activities like this cause I love the idea of sharing my feelings with other people because I seldom do that...but this time I'll keep my mouth shut. I'm tired of talking about it...I'll keep quiet and just suffer alone.


This afternoon I went out with my mom...we had lunch at "chilis" (loved the baby back ribs!!!) then we saw Matrix reloaded. I'm glad I got to spend time with my mom. My mom has simple pleasures...I know these little things such as going to the mall, watching movies or eating out bring great joy to her that's why I felt really great knowing that somehow I made her happy by going out with her. I used to feel hostile towards her...I hated her nagging and her over sensitivity but right now I feel nothing but sympathy for her. I don't know what'll happen to my family but I promise I'd take care of her no matter what happens.

This morning in our psycho spiritual exercises we were talking about allowing God to be God...tonight I'm letting go...I know I won't be able to do anything to change my situation...this won't go away so I'm letting God be God.

We watched the video of our concert last Sunday...I saw myself and feel really ugly...my voice doesn't sound right:( man this sucks i'm having those "woe is me" days again:(

I actually don't know what to write...well it's not like this day has not been eventful...in fact it was a really busy but I don't know how to start this entry. First, let me say that God has revealed some things to me today...I guess I'll just be writing them in bullet points since i'm so tired that I've lost my sense of coherence.

* No one loves me like God does- One good thing that the recent earth shattering eventshas brought me (my discovery of dad's infidelity) is my realization that truly it is only in God that I can find true love. The people around me, my family, friends, lovers may all turn their backs on me but God will never leave me.

* God is in control- Right now it may seem that my life is hopeless but as I was leading our praise and worship this morning I suddenly felt a sense of relief...it was as if God embraced me...hid me under His wings and assured me that He is in control of everything. It is only in God that I find comfort. Life may seem like crap right now but I know that God is control.

* I want to serve good fully- When I graduated from college I made a pact with God that if I don't get into law school I'd go into bible school...I wasn't able to go to law school...I never went to bible school...but now I'm carefully considering bible school. I actually want to resign from my work and go to bible school and just serve God forever.

This realizations are life changing...right now I just want to live my life for God. I've been doing all these work for the church for the past 24 years I've been alive but it is only this time that I actually want to have a life of service solely for God. But before I pursue there are things in my life I still have to fix...so please pray for me.

We had our concert tonight...it was awesome!!! The house was packed...we didn't expect that people would actually come and see some struggling church band...lol...but God sent more than a hundered people to share the night with us. We're actually thinking about doing the concert a yearly event....ohhhhh I'm sooooo excited!!!

Making a Scene [18 May 2003|01:21am]
I totally lost it this morning at work. I really didn't want to go to work cause as usual I cried myself to sleep the other night...but I had to so I went to work. The day started fine...I knew I had to go to boring meetings...but that was ok cause I can just keep quiet and not do anything in those meetings then go home before lunch...but the reflection period started. I had this co-teacher of mine who was talking his daughter and how he considers her a miracle from God. At first I was doing fine...I was a bit teary eyed cause he related to us the time when he experienced God's faithfulness when his daughter was sick...I broke down when he started concluding his reflection. He played "Butterfly Kisses" by Bob Carlisle...I totally lost...I started to break down. My dad promised me that he'd sing that song to me on my wedding day...with my situation with my dad right now I don't know if that day would ever come. It was really embarassing cause I cried like a baby while the song was being played...I wanted to get out of the room but i'd make scene if I leave in the middle of the song...so I stayed in the room...torture myself:( I guess the reason why I cried really hard was the fact that despite what he has done to us he's still my dad. I've always been a daddy's girl...I've always seen him as a perfect father...so I can't take away the fact that i still love him:( I just didn't think he'd break my heart this badly:(

As you know I've been keeping this dark secret to myself for more than a month now...it has been eating me up inside...I've felt so helpless for not being able to seek for comfort in another person. This morning I thank God for friends. Phia stood by me the whole time I was crying...her mere presence comforted me...she didn't have to say much. I really don't know what'd have happened to me if she wasnt around. We ended up in the mall...lol...we both found comfort in shopping...lol!


I'm kinda nervous...we'll be having our concert on Sunday...we've been practicing for the past two months I don't know if we can actually pull it off:( well wish me luck:)

Someone To Watch Over Me [16 May 2003|11:08pm]
[ mood | distressed ]
[ music | someone to watch over me ]

The other day I decided to face my monster but it seems like my monster has been evading me. I haven't seen my dad...he hasn't expressed his desire to talk to me...instead they tell me that his woman..."my godmother" sent me 600 dollars...are they bribing me to keep quiet??? The money's supposed to be for my trip to australia on July...which by the way won't be pushing through cause I'll never accept anything from that woman.

I'm sooooooooooo tired. Emotionally I'm drained to nothingness. I desperately need a rest. One thing that struck me about my conversation with my boss yesterday was when she told me that she's willing to give me sometime off because I should take care of myself...she told me that there's no one else who'll do that job for me...not my mom...especially not my dad...I'm actually on my own. I've never really thought of this seriously...I've always believed that I'll always have my family with me but at times like this you realize that you're really on your own...no one can shelter you from the strong blows of life. Something inside me wishes this is not true...somewhere inside me is this hope...hope of someday finding that someone who'll take care of me. It's really unfair if God designed me to be alone...He knows how frail I am...He knows I need someone:( I know this sounds pathetic...people have always said that we can be complete on our own...I don't believe in that...I know I need someone and I pray that God would send that someone soon

It's gonna be a bumpy ride [15 May 2003|11:03pm]
[ mood | depressed ]
[ music | The MAn Who Sold the World ]

Things will become really rough these coming days...I didn't think that things can actually get more rough that it already is...I don't know whether I'll actually survive this. Last night I decided to end my suffering...I decided to confront my dad about his affair. Well I didn't speak to him about it yet but I sent him an email telling him that I know all about it...he hasn't checked his email so I'm waiting for his reaction. I'm scared, I don't know what to expect. All these negative thoughts have been going around my head...what if he gets a heart attack after reading my email...what if he decides to commit suicide...what if he decides tok ill me...what if he denies it...GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR...I don't know what to do...what will I tell him???? Please pray for me, I'm really scared:(

THere is a God...it's amazing how He works through the most unlikely beings. This afternoon I spoke with my boss..my boss...remember? the one who's planning on making my life miserable to punish me for messing with her two years ago...well apparently she really wasn't planning on punishing me...she changed my load...she's giving me two preps instead of the original three preps. I also told her about my problem...it was a good thing I spoke with her...I was able to vent out what I was feeling. i've been keeping this to myself for more than a month now and it has been eating me up inside...talking to her did me good. I couldn't help but cry...for once I actually felt someone who's actually going to be there for me. It's strange..I know I've been saying mean things about her but this afternoon I saw a different side of her...and I thank God for using her.

I'm really scared...I don't know what'll happen. I don't know whether I'll actually survive after this:(

still down [13 May 2003|10:27pm]
[ mood | depressed ]
[ music | close your eyes ]

LAst week I read some articles on depression and I was alarmed with the things I discovered. I looked into the tell tale signs of depression and I realized that I manifest most of the symptoms. I've been carrying a really heavy load for a long time...I don't know for how long I can carry this. I'm afraid I'm breaking down.
