count your blessings April 23, 2007

Filed under: Uncategorized — kring @ 10:42 am

After months of tedious studying (just let me be, please!), and hours of excruciating lectures (okay, I admit, I did enjoy a couple of good ones…nerdo!), I, along with many other folks in this business, passed the recent CGFNS exam… hurrah for everybody! All glory goes back to the Lord. I honestly, have not been such a good girl, but still, The Man Up There was gracious enough to answer my prayers.

I can sometimes be such an ungrateful git. No cause could ever justify my nonchalant ways. However. deep inside, I do have a good and thankful heart. Really. A lot has been going on in my life lately that I wasn’t able to stop. breathe. and say thanks. But I really am thankful. Job offers left and right, opportunities to serve my God and serve my fellowmen, differences that were mended…my newly revised multiply (hahaha, mag plug ba naman!)…and of course, those things that are yet to come (my well-deserved and hard-earned bakasyon grande next month). So you see, I AM an immensely blessed kid. And every time I realize that, my cup overfloweth with thanks to the Lord.

 

why i love summer April 18, 2007

Filed under: journal, life, random thoughts, the world around me — kring @ 10:00 am

Summers..ahhhh!!! I can’t even begin to describe the feeling. It could be the laid-back atmosphere. Or the fact that I am born and raised on a tropical island(s). My love for the sun, sea and sand does not only happen during the post-March-pre-June season. It’s a love affair that lasts all year round. You know those days when you have a lot of things to say but fall short of being the articulate person you can sometimes be? Well, you just caught me having that said moment. So allow me to be ridiculously dull and let these pictures do most of the talking…

white island camiguin, 2 years ago

(above) White Island, Camiguin 2 years ago

White Island, Camiguin last weekend

What the hey?!? Can somebody puhlease! tell me what these capitalists are trying to do? I mean, okay, it sure could get HOT out there, but a few decent-looking huts will do just fine to protect mere mortals from skin cancer. The sight of such a sordid image broke my heart into pieces. Personally, the appeal of White Island isn’t just the white sand or the cool blue waters or the view…but it lies more on the feeling of blissful isolation and comforting peace she gives her sojourners. And I hope I’m speaking in behalf of the many who were charmed by the islet’s shores. Anyway, my mother told me that it was probably temporary, considering we were there shortly after holy week. I’m keeping my fingers crossed, though. Remember the capitalists I mentioned earlier?

…me header me borrowed from me multiply…
