8th M♥nth

30th of August 2011. The first monthsary that we were actually together, in one place, in the same country, in the same timezone. And it happened to be in the charming city of Dublin, Ireland. R booked me a ticket to Ireland to bridge the long distance relationship somehow. I resigned from my previous job and was transitioning to a new one so the timing could have never been any perfect. 

This is the most romantic thing a guy ever did to me. Ever. I couldn't help but swoon---at the flowers on my arms, at the blinking white lights behind, at the man I waited and prayed for. 

Happy 8th R. I really couldn't ask for more. 

First Day High in Ireland

It was my first day in Ireland yesterday. I was not wearing the proper cold weather apparel, but I braved the cold nonetheless to jump start my visit in Ireland. :) I had only taken a few photos because we were trying to catch up the stores at 6PM to get me the right clothing (boots, thick jacket, etc). We only started the stroll at 6 pm because bf had to work (sabi ko na nga ba!) and I was still struggling with a jetlag from my almost 24-hour flight, thus couldn't leave the pillow and the blanket during the day.

There are some things I learned about the city of Dublin during the walk. In Ireland, most stores even in the city center, only stay open till 7PM. Most employees are already on their way home at 6PM. Just how lovely is that? :) Cheers to my first day high. I promise to take lots and lots of photos. Just waiting for shopping to get done and Dublin, I'll ,explore you. I swear. :)

Blessing Overflow

God is at work today! Whew! I can only thank Him over and over again! See my sequel of tweets today:

Yes friends, I made a leap of faith today! I bounced and I lept with faith and God granted me the desire of my heart! Oh what a great thing to trust God more! This blessing is a humbling experience! Thank You Lord for this one big favor! :)

Introvert on Interview

“So how do you classify yourself? Are you an introvert?” asked the interviewer.

“I was born introvert but I’m learning to be extrovert, so I think I’m in the middle” I said. Oh my gosh, is there a word “extrovert?” Pang Ms. Universe ba? Hahahaha. I don’t have any regrets with my answer. It’s the truth. I’m in the middle.

Another truth is: I hate interviews. I just don’t hate them, I dread them. I get nervous on interviews. I stutter, I ran out of words. But today is different. Today is the breakthrough.

I related yesterday that I would be interviewed today. Haven’t done this in one year plus so I was nervous as a freaking dog who just had its first shower in 10 months. Honestly folks, I think I did well. *blush*blush. But as I tweeted, “God’s will be done”… Of late, God has been imparting me to ask… So ask, I did. I asked to be able to answer all the questions excellently. I did not ask first to be accepted. I am now learning to be patient. Paisa-isa lang. Our hearts can only handle too much. First ask for grace to be able to pass through a difficult times, then God will clearly reveal to you what to do next.

There’s no use fearing things, bible says so 365 times! ;)
