Motives

(From Unpublished draft December 2017)

My husband and I talked about how I used to write and express myself through writing. I am surprised to know that he reads my blog since I only write to put together the thoughts I want to organize and share with others. 

I am on a social media fast today that will extend for a week to be able to detox on daily musings. I used to post consistently, if not almost daily. There were times that I feel like my time is stolen from me spending my time posting instead of just enjoying the posts “reality”.

Makes me wonder on my motives on posting, then I realized that posting feeds my insecurity and hunger for self-validation. This should not be my ultimate goal, I was reminded. 

Now moving forward, I would like to be more accountable with my motives - because oftentimes we neglect the gravity of having pure thoughts and pure intentions that should reflect in our actions.

Speaking of pure motives, thoughts and actions - guards down, we could easily slip. 

 

FlashForward

Let's flash forward. :)

Coined the title from the series I am watching now "FlashForward" and yes I finished the whole series in one sitting. Did not sleep the whole night after my late shift last night and spent the whole day today watching it since we did not push through with our planned road trip.

I have a lot of updating to do. And since I decided to keep this site to remember all my so called "markers" in life, I will definitely need to update the missing dates/month.

From the last work related update, here's more:

1. I got engaged! - December 09, 2011.
We went to Hong Kong for a day. He took me in all the romantic places there and then cracked the question to me at H Restaurant in IFC Tower. We headed to Manila in the evening. It was like that in the movies. <3

2. I got married! - October 27, 2012.
We got married after 10 months. :) Our wedding was very intimate. We invited close friends and relatives in a very private farm that we rented for the whole day. It was so peaceful, for me the best day of my life. It was worth all stress we've been through planning and making it happen. It was just exactly as what I prayed for - simple yet elegant and glorious.

3. I got promoted! - October 29, 2012 and July 1, 2013
After a year of officially signing with the company I am currently working for, I got promoted as a Service Leader. It was not just a promotion, it was another level of learning, maturity and friendship with my beloved colleagues whom I embraced as my family. 

(edit: got promoted again to be the Assistant Manager last July)

Many things I am thankful for. I will always believe that the God I serve and love is capable of doing things more than I can ever ask or imagine.

I always hear from church that "we are destined for greatness". And I just know that no matter how I fight it/or may have forgotten it, God will and can always be in control to remind, guide and maneuver our course to the destiny that He has planned for us. All we have to do is SURRENDER.
