Me, almost everyday. However, such talk isn't all about giving God thanks and praises He deserves. It's more on complains, regrets and bitterness in life. As if I was putting all the blame to God. I don't know why am I so like this lately. I am so bitter, easily get irritated, so many complains and regrets. Then I realized, I missed talking to God as in "real talk". The kind that we used to do. I miss praising Him, reading His Words and pondering over it. All I can hear now is myself talking nonsense. I made God as just a 'mere' listener. What a shame on me!

This morning's Praise and Worship was a heart trembling experience. Crying out before God acknowledging your vulnerability when being apart from Him. Oh God am so sorry for being so mean... Thanks for holding on, thanks for your unfailing and unconditional love.

♫ You are the love of my life... You are the HOPE that I cling to... You mean more than this world to me.... ♫

I am so sorry Lord for my indifference.

Earning a degree is very important not only for career building purposes, but for self-boost improvement as well. It's a different feeling if you obtain a degree in the field where you think you will really excel. However, not all individuals got the chance to pursue their studies though the means is available. Just like what the infographic above have indicated, there are lots of available scholarships for military spouses that goes unclaimed. One of the reasons maybe why the beneficiaries were not able to enjoy the said scholarships was busy schedule. There are also stay-at-home spouses who cannot make it because their hands were already full with the house chores and when they are done, they do not have energy left to go to school. However, cases like this have a definite solutions. As we all know there are educational courses being offered online. They offer flexible schedules thus obtaining an online degree is not impossible anymore. 

 

I was very sick on my 32nd birthday. I got fever, and body pains all-over. There's no celebration at all. Since I got married, birthday celebration is no longer a priority, just thankful that God still allows me to live. And because I was sick, I didn't attend to my class. The next day, I already reported to school though am not that okay yet. A colleague of mine suggested for some food trip with our department chair and another colleague. We all agreed to try the newly opened Shakey's Pizza Parlor. What we have ordered was a group meal good for 5-6 persons consisting of pepperoni pizza, pasta, chicken, garlic bread and mojo! Though it's not really meant to be a post-birthday celebration, but I considered it as such LOL!

 

 

Oops, all the photos above were just taken from their website. I wasn't able to capture our actual orders LOL! But basically, these are what we enjoyed to consume heartily!

Life is what you made it. SO TRUE!

I can't imagine how dumb sometimes a person could be. Those people who wanted more, received less. It's up to you how would you relate it to yourself if you could. We might consider it a real blessings if we will receive something (not necessarily material things) beyond our expectations. But imagine how disgusting would it be if you get something worst than anything you could think of... much more if you have to accept that "something" until your last breath.

AND what could be more disgusting if all this these things is happening to you?

I've been blogging for more than four years already and still I have so many ups and downs just like any other blogger. Before, I used to write as passionately as I can with so many thoughts and ideas in mind. However, as time goes by, such passion slowly wanes. I did not actually lost the passion to write, I am just quite desperate because little by little, opportunities gone. Unlike before, I seldom received writing opportunities from DA's and review sites now. I honestly envied those bloggers who got handful of writing tasks. They even hired ghost writer to finish numerous tasks on time. The more they brag about it, the more desperate I become and the more I questioned my writing skills.

Then, as if answering such inevitable question that keeps on haunting me, I stumbled upon this post from a certain blogger- Falling into the trap of comparison. When I read the post, I found myself guilty somehow. Now I realized the source of my frustration, I used to compare my blog with others which should not be done by me. The author stressed on his blog that comparing is not fair. Of course it's true! Bloggers have different skills, have different sources of inspiration and one should stick to it instead of comparing with others.

Realizing it all leads me to one decision: I should stop comparing my blog. From now on, I should write not because I need to, I will write because I want to. I will speak my heart and mind out. I should not be envious anymore with my co-bloggers. If opportunities won't come, ACCEPT, if it does, I will be more than glad BUT I should not allow myself to be desperate anymore because no one notices my blog. I should be writing willingly and straight from the heart.
