Wanted: Perfect Bridegroom!!!
Wanna come to my wedding party? Of course, everyone is invited to come! But first of all, I guess I have to find a groom.. Yah, that is right, folks. A groom! I am laughing at myself now for feeling a bit desperate about having the man of my own and someone I can be with for the rest of my life, not necessarily to get married though.
I am a 30 year old lady who together with my also 30-something year old cousin, wondering and waiting for the day for that special someone to come and sweep me off my feet and make me fall so madly in-love with him. Why is it that nowadays it is so hard to find a nice guy? It’s either they are already taken or they are gays! Girls, girls, girls, don’t you get a bit desperate sometimes about this phenomenon? There is not just enough nice men for everyone.
I’ve had many relationships in the past, all of them made me feel happy for a certain period of time but I ended up crying. I think that is an inevitable circumstance that anyone should face and learn to accept. I am not really asking for heavens and earth, you know… All I just want is for me to be happy… who would not want to be loved and be happy anyway? It sounds so easy but honestly, this is one thing that’s been escaping from my grasp. No matter what I do, it just wont let me have it. What the hell is wrong with me? ( ooopppsss…. I am saying this half-jokingly!)
Shanghai Bistro
Truthfully, I am not an avid fan of Chinese cuisine. I cannot say it enough that my taste buds are tired of sesame oil, oyster sauce and soy sauce. But I live in a country where Chinese food is as staple as rice. But once in a while I chance upon a place that serves great tasting Chinese dishes. And I am a hypocrite if I do not admit that of all Chinese edible creations, dimsum is the best. It is also the easiest to imitate. Imagine all the stalls that sell siopao, siomai, sharks fin in all shapes and sizes.
Writing gigs for Budding Writers
I have been out of job for months and within those money drained months I have been sending my resume’ and attending series of interviews to different call center companies that I know of but unfortunately my search for that elusive dream job have not yet landed on my hand. Sometimes it can be really draining and devastating to know you failed the interview (again!) and at times I felt like the world was conspiring against me. Well, not all of the companies I applied for dumped my resume in the trash can.
There is this one company which told me that I will be called back for the near-hire training. It is a training for those whose call center skills are marginal and needs more honing, it will take 2 weeks for us to finish the entire curriculum and the good thing about this is that it is a paid training. But good heavens, it’s almost 2 months since that interview and still they haven’t called me back and I am getting a bit impatient already. As much as I want to lose my hope, I can’t do that because hope is the only wisdom that is left in me at this time of my life.

Love is a big word
This morning, my daily devotional prompted me to read Romans 12:9-21 for further studies. I turned my bible to the appointed section and it read:
Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with God’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality.
Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited.

I slept late last night because of some stuffs I needed to attend to online, hence, it’s a bad idea to wake me up! and worse I really hate being disturbed while at sleep.

Great and Important Events are Meant to be Celebrated!
A day after my Lola was buried, the 6 remaining and surviving children of my Lola’s together with their respective spouses minus my father and me (we embarked on a journey going back here in Manila that same morning because my father and mother had an LQ), went to a resort to take off their mind from all the things that have just transpired in the past weeks. And as far as I know going to a beach or any body of water was also part of the tradition or should I say, superstition.. that is to ward off any negative and aversive energy that’s connected with death, that is according to old people’s tale.
They were all still very tired and have not had enough rest and sleep but it seemed that almost everyone were still very full of energy and still up for anything fun. You can never see any tiredness on their faces nor did anyone of them complained of not having enough rest or food. Early that Friday morning, they had to cook food that they will be bringing to the outing and prepare all the things that they will be needing to have the most enjoyable day of their lives free from any hassle, well at least for that day.
My Lola’s passing is a moment to celebrate!!!
On May 1st, my maternal grandmother passed away. She was 90 years old.. It was a mixed-emotions kind of situation because honestly, all of her children and grandchildren, including me have been expecting her to go, that is of course euphemistically speaking. Well, she has been going back and forth to the hospital for months that is why we did not expect her to live much longer. We were sad but at the same time we anticipated her time to go and for her to leave us. So, at around 4 o’clock in the afternoon of May 1st she expired surrounded by her loving children in our house in Bicol which is also famously called “the blue house” because of its blue paint of its exterior. Anyway, the other siblings who were there in Bicol informed us who were here in Manila of the latest development. On the same day right after they got the sad news, my mother and one of her sisters quickly grabbed their stuff and off they went to the bus terminal to catch the next bus going to Bicol.
The rest of my family went there on the last night of funeral and I was surprised to see that most of the people there including the rest of my relatives were in a festive mood. Well, for sure they did not mean any disrespect to the the Old Lady but rather was just trying to celebrate the end of my Lola’s (tagalog term for grandmother) sufferings. Because just like what I have mentioned, prior to her death she was a frequent visitor of different medical clinics and hospitals their in our small town somewhere in Camarines Sur. On that note, we were so relieved to see that all her sufferings have ended already. Of course, I was so happy to see all of my relatives as well who I have not seen for so many years because my family have been living here in Manila since 1993. It was truly a time spent well with my cousins, aunties, uncles and other members of the clan whom I have never met until that day.
