Last Day of Work

Whee hooo! Finally, i can totally slack off 'til the 5th of January. I'll be occupied for half that time of course. I'm picking up my sister tonight, fun fun...but it is really --love her to death but I love her son the most. I'm his godmother so i spoil the boy. hehehe! Even though i'm not working, i still have to finish a layout for faye. but i'm having trouble doing it since my laptop does not have the fonts i need. grrrr....i have to install them all in. this blows. oh well. it can wait 'til tomorrow.

i have to write about last sunday. well, a part of it anyway. the homily of the priest was great. it humbles me. he talked about how people had expectations of what they want to be but at the end, God molds us and we end up serving a greater purpose even though we did not end up to be this grand person that we dreamt to be. I liked that homily. made me realize that maybe i'm aiming too high and i'm setting myself for a great heartache and frustration because i did not end up what i imagined to be. so u all know how i've been wanting to do the singing thing...well, i'll just do what i love to do and not aim to be a "superstar" although it would be nice, maybe i have a greater purpose. maybe i'm suppose to be a teacher or something. although i have no patience for it. maybe being a catechist is molding me to be more patient who knows? keep on keeping on...and continue to pray, and have an open heart so that i can enjoy the ride to wherever life leads me...well, God!

Wow, i'm reading my past blogs and i'm writing lots about God. But really, it's the only way to go. i never did realize how much i surrender my life to Him but I do.

i also found a notebook i had when i was in HS where i wrote some poems. wow, they were pretty deep. i guess even then i was soul searching but i was never open to possibilities. i used to be the person who never asks for help. so i struggled lots back then...much more than i do now. at least nowadays, i have friends to lead me and help me out. it's great.

anyhoo, i haven't written any songs lately, actually ...the one i mentioned not too long ago that wasn't finished is still not finished. i'm realizing that i'm too much influenced by the songs i've been listening to and i have to listen to myself write songs that speak to me. so i will be taking a short break on writing songs. i'll continue to write poems however and hopefully, my mom and sister would give me guitar lessons for my christmas gift. oh and i made a boo boo and dinged my guitar. =( sucks! but what can you do? casualty of tuning. i think i need to change tuning thingies (like my technical terms? hehehe) because one is wobbly and it's echoing ... not making great sound. maybe i'll just let it be...save up money and buy an acoustic electric --taylor or martin. who knows? i'll wait 'til they go on sale though. the good ones are over a thousand so i sure can't afford that. not to mention i really want this ring to be made which will dent my savings account ----see i'm planning on going home to the Philippines.

anyhoo, it is possible that this will be my last blog of the year sooo, if that's the case,

have a merry christmas and a wonderful new year!!!!

i had a great year, lots of growing....i hope you all had a productive year as well.. . .
