Thankful
June 4, 2006I just realized that God always finds a way to brighten up even the grayest day of my life. He hurls simple things that remind me that He's never forgotten me. There were so many events in my life that I know could not have been possible without Him. Situations wherein only a miracle could have worked the change that has taken place.
Never did I ask God if I'm important to Him. He's given me so many blessings. Asking for more would be too much. The best thing that I can do is to thank Him and use His blessings to help out other people. You have been so faithful, my Father!
P.S. Just this morning, another God's blessing surprised me. Whew!
Dream on..
June 3, 2006A few days ago, I went to Starbucks near work that I haven't been to before. The place was a bit quiet. No music was being played and only a few people were there. I sat on a corner and tried to think on what is best to order. I decided to buy my usual café mocha after minutes of thinking… and added an Oreo cheesecake. A perfect combination I may say.
Then, a couple came in to the shop and sat across the table from me. The girl looks like a model in her plain white dress. She is probably in her mid 20s. The guy is busy talking on his cellphone. He looks like a company executive. While the guy is on the phone, the girl looks so happy and very contented just staring at her boyfriend.
That couple reminded me of what my ideal romantic relationship is - an over-achiever guy with a very pretty and supportive girlfriend. It may sound as if I'm looking for a trophy wife but I can prove you're wrong. Hehehehe. I want to see myself someday in that very situation as they were. If that day comes, I will be the happiest man in the whole wide world.
Brickbat!
June 1, 2006I recognize the fact that I can hardly accept negative criticisms. Same way that I’m not comfortable receiving flattering words and compliments. It's not that I'm throwing them aside as if they have no value. I do listen to them. I see to it that I think about what my response would be. But what makes it more difficult is when it is coming from a close friend.
And it happened. It could have been a lot better if that person picked the right words and delivered it in a more considerate way. But I guess that was not the case. It made me feel bad. Really bad!
