good things do happen

Tuesday, August 30th, 2005

Something good happened to me today. But only Gin and my family know about it. Well for me its nothing really big but it somewhat relieved me from some of the stress i am going through right now. What happened to me today, made me realize that good things can still happen to you even if you think or feel that everything is just messed up. I dont want to elaborate anymore the things that i am going through in this blog. Although the people who are very close to me know what i am refering to here.

God is good and He does listen to your prayers. We just have to be patient. Which i admit am guilty of not doing at times. The significant things that happen in ones life like what happened to me today doesnt dramatically change everything but it lifted my spirits up. I know i should be thankful and i was thanking Him while i was seated on my office chair this morning and doing my work. There are still so many things that i have to attain and fix in my life. But at least right at this moment I know God is listening to me and i know He is really there for me. Maybe it takes time for Him to answer my prayers but i know He will in His own time. As the song goes… "In His time..He will make all things beautiful in His time!" It may not be the exact thing that i pray for but i am sure what He will bless me with will be even better.

Just wanted to share this moment. Because it really made my day! Thats all! :)

a bottle or two and a meaningful conversation

Ginbun_metrowalk Last night, I went to Metrowalk in Ortigas with Gin and met up with his eldest brother, Kuya Jan and his wife Ate Aima. We stayed in this Itallian resto called Capisce! The food there is very good and not to mention the resto was made by my asawa! :) Anyway, I needed to unwind from all the stress that’s why I decided to go with him there. Of course, first thing we did when we got to Metrowalk was we visited 2 of his other projects. A boutique and a jewelry shop. I was kind of waiting impatiently  while Gin was talking to the workers because my stomach was growling like anything. That was already 8:45pm and the last time I ate was at 9:30am but i had a few sunflower crackers in the afternoon. That was it!!! Finally, we went to Capisce and I had a Mushroom Risotto..OH MY!!! The taste was so heavenly! Its very rich and high in calories with all the butter. But what the heck..it was comfort food for me! While I was eating Gin started gulping on his first SML for the night then after an hour Kuya Jan and Ate Aima arrived. Then I had my beer too. I drank a couple only. I dont drink much. Of course the 2 brothers drank God knows how many. Hehe! Had a very fruitful conversation with the 3 David’s. Talking about money matters, married life, our families, the kids on their side of the family (such cuties!), and how to invest our money and all. I am glad Gin and I were able to talk to them about certain things. At least he was enlightened with all the emotional rollercoasters hes been going through. Kuya Jan and Ate Aima were advising us on how we should plan for our future since Gin and I are already planning on getting married by December next year. If we only had the money! Thats the only problem…thats the only factor and of course some of the responsibilites he has with his family as of the moment which I fully understand! Gin is just going through so much stress now.

All i can say is that Gin and I have a long way to go and a lot of things will still come up. Issues or whatsoever. But one thing is for sure..Gin and I promised each other that we will work harder and help each other reach our dream of finally settling down by December 2006. I cant wait to see or how he’s going to give the ring he got me. Haha, Kuya Jan i think slipped his tongue mentioning that the ring Gin got me is really nice! Whatever it looks like…what matters to me is just to spend the rest of my life with Gin and to have wonderful kids with him. That’s all! Gin asked me last night, how is he different? TOTALLY DIFFERENT!!! Cheezy as it may sound but he brought back the life in me when I thought there was no hope for me of finding someone my family will like, someone who will love me, respect me and take good care of me. But I was wrong…GIN was the answer to my prayers. God is good and does work in mysterious ways! He’s blessed me with such a wonderful person.

Before ending the night, we ordered food from Bacolod Chicken House. Mga matatakaw kami!!! :D Then the two brothers werent yet satisfied with the bottle of beers they had. We transferred to this bar called Aruba still in Metrowalk. All through out our stay in Metrowalk it was raining. It was kind of chilly! Finally, the two decided to call it a night. Ate Aima and I were both so sleepy already. That was at 2:45am. For the last stop Gin wanted to show his brother and sis in law the projects he was working on so we passed by the site for a few minutes. I got home at 3:30am…fell asleep at 4am. Right now while I am making this blog…my eyes are ready to shut. I AM SO SLEEPY!!! I am in the office right now. Had to wake up early. Well, til the next "a bottle or two sessions" I have with gin and his family. SAYONARA!!!
