I spend so much time thinking about all the answers to the problem that I forget what the problem actually was.


Yes, 'crushie' was there. *big smile* He didn't lead the music team, though. Think he attended the earlier fellowship. *sigh* But, well, I saw him...that is already enough.

Was very annoyed that same time. Maybe expecting from people is already too much (should I say 'it's nothing but vanity'?) and I have to put an end to it. Just of course, at times, am becoming so drained of initiating things all the time. Should everything has to be my sole responsibility? Dunno but I find it so wearing to keep everything to myself. But, whenever I lash out, it makes me feel sooo like a nagger. And it doesn't make me feel good about myself. Either way I end up being so irked. I don't like how it makes me feel. Whether I henpeck or put a cold war, none make me feel any better.

...and so I am working hard on controlling my attitude towards things that are annoying. It's an uphill crack, but, with GOD's help, am sure I can get through it.

Dwelling in negative emotions won't help, so I better move on and think of what might can improve the sitches I complain about. Hafta keep trying to show a smile no matter what and it could probably lift up my mood.

On a different note....

A friend, Ron J. is very sick. He's been in the ICU section of Makati Medical Center for some time now. Not sure for how long but he badly needs blood donors. Thanks to George for keeping me updated with what's happening to our friend. Oh, here...just checked G's email and found out that Ron's been confined since 4th of June.

Here's part of G's email:

He is still bedridden with respirator and about 10 tubes and needles stuck in different parts of his body. Several machines are attached to administer blood, monitor heart and pulse rates, and feed him properly.

Priority requirement is still blood. Type O Positive if possible. But any type will do since Blood Bank will just swap for Type O.

Ron J. is suffering from acute necrotizing pancreatitis and hemocratic pancreatitis, the worst forms of acute pancreatitis.

Every day is critical now. Doctors did not give Ron J this long and describe his continuous survival as a "miracle."

Ron J is in constant pain and has extreme difficulty breathing. Every breath is a struggle. He has about 10 tubes and needles stuck throughout his body to sustain him. It is like he is on life support. He is breathing through a respirator. He can only communicate with his eyes. Sometimes if he is strong enough he will write down his replies.

But he is still fighting on and both he and his dad are grateful for all the visitors and small gestures of support.

I don't have so many readers anymore but I am requesting that the little number who remains faithful reading my posts will help pray for our friend. He needs as many prayers as possible. This is just a portion of our time he needs, which might help ameliorate his condition. Please pray for Ron J.

The self-criticism of a tired mind is suicide...


...so, I will strive to appreciate myself from this day on. My mind will always be tired, that's given. But, I will always try not to criticize myself unnecessarily.

Yey, it's Sunday! Wishing to see "crushie" later.

lonely crushie



Kinda feeling something weird but can't tell what. *scowling* Butterfly in my stomach... somewhat making me feel so agitated. Hope this is nothing about my intuition. *biting fingers* I just want to be happy, that's all. Can I have peace of mind even for a day?

guess I will just reiterate these Bible verses in my head...

Lamentations 3:19-30

Just thinking of my troubles and my lonely wandering makes me miserable. That's all I ever think about, and I am depressed. Then I remember something that fills me with hope. The LORD's kindness never fails! If he had not been merciful, we would have been destroyed. The LORD can always be trusted to show mercy each morning. Deep in my heart I say, "The LORD is all I need; I can depend on him!" The LORD is kind to everyone who trusts and obeys him. It is good to wait patiently for the LORD to save us. When we are young, it is good to struggle hard and to sit silently alone, if this is what the LORD intends. Being rubbed in the dirt can teach us a lesson; we can also learn from insults and hard knocks.

Philippians 4:6

Don't worry about anything, but pray about everything. With thankful hearts offer up your prayers and requests to God.

Happy Sunday, all! Toodle-oo!
