tidbits and some lessons learned
it's friday once again! and it's march already! and it's lent season!
last thursday my mom texted me saying "tapos na ang feb, malapit na ang pasko". and i had to reply back, "baka pasko ng pagkabuhay hehehe".
but it's true anyway. before we know it we'll be hearing chrismas songs again.

yesterday, our team had a meeting at this massive room that was really meant for training. for some reason, training ended early so we (15 lang kami) found ourselves using the room. anyway, while we were about to start the meeting i fondly remembered meetings held at eastwestbank. that was a bit absurd because for the past year that i've been working here, i never associated my meetings at eastwest to here in DOCS. but yesterday i did...and you know what i missed? eating kropek or fish crackers during meetings inside our training room in gil puyat. hah!

i have finally found my bearings!
after two weeks of being nostalgic, i have finally found my strength and bearings back. a big factor would have something to do with me and my husband finalizing our concrete plans for the year. okay, i'm really weird when it comes to things like this. i'm a very goal-oriented person...i need to have direction...i want concrete goals with matching action plans and time frame. thank god my husband indulged me last friday night---we had our planning session over the phone!!!! yay! come saturday, i felt really better and i had to celebrate by having starbucks for breakfast. great! i'm normal again.
other than that, i would have to thank friends who welcomed me back to the arms of sydney. these are my angels here talking sense into me, making me realize that being here in sydney is indeed a blessing and that i'm lucky to be here. don't get me wrong, i never really forget that, i know in my heart that i'm lucky to be here and i'm glad i am. i just need to be reminded i guess. when you wallow, you don't get to think of nice things really. so thank you so much, i hope you know who you are.

i'm lagging behind with the uploading of photos :(
i know friends are waiting out there, my apologies. now that i'm back on my feet, i'm gonna be better---more photos coming out soon!

life is short.
this week, i was in shocked to learn that a former workmate of ours in east west bank passed away. she was not a closed friend of mine but we have shared a couple of happy moments during training. i was lucky that i had been showered by her light while i was working there. she will truly be missed!
on my way home, i realized that i'm in that age wherein people not only get married and have children, but can possibly die too. events like this taught me that life is indeed so short and there are lessons to be learned:
- love yourself and love all the people around you. say it and show it.
- be healthy. in mind, heart and body.
- share your blessings...not only to your friends but moreso to people that are less fortunate.
- be rich in experiences and not in wealth.
- be kind. smile often. forget anger. forgive.
- make the most of each day and be grateful too.
- pray and always always always have faith.
- be at peace with yourself and with everything around you. learn to accept things you can't change.
- stay happy! it is a choice.
- remember that LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL...in everything you do, have fun!
