Last night, I decided to edit my friendster profile because it has been a while since I've written something about my life. With me, whatever is written on my profile, is dependent on my current state of mind.
Sentence number 1: Happily married with one adorable kid (gleefully anticipating the arrival of another bundle of joy).||
Yep! Ivan and I are trying (very, very hard... wink wink) to have another baby. Macky is already two and I will be 30 this coming June and we really want to have another addition to our blessed family. It would be stupendous if we could have a girl this time.. :) but of course I'll be grateful for whatever God will give us. Ivan and I will be celebrating our 3rd wedding anniversary this April and boy, it has been one heck of a ride. I'm proud to say that although there are times that I just want to stranggle him for being so makulit, there has never been an issue so huge as to cause a big fight (thank God for that). Ivan is a great husband. A good provider, unselfish, very kind, respectful to my parents, very masipag -- an all-around great guy. And people here genuinely love him. And as a father.. wow! He is tops! Ivan and Macky are bestfriends and it is such a joy seeing them both. My son has inherited his dad's good looks, but he has my wit (hehe) and the innate intelligence of his grandpa (yahoo!). Very charming and malambing, Macky is always the center of attraction. My dad said he will pass a resolution declaring Macky to be the handsomest boy in Palawan... What do you say to that?! Ha ha!
Sentence number 2: Presently occupying a position of utmost value, which at best, can improve people’s lives, lessen burdens, ease pains, make a difference. ||
I just had to say something about my line of work -- my advocacy. I am proud of the work I do -- both as Chief of Staff of the Office of the Vice Governor and as Executive Director of the Palawan Anti Drug Abuse Council. Despite the many pressures the work entails, I feel quite fulfilled and happy with what I have accomplished. I am part of a team which is able to help individuals and communities from different sectors; we make a lot of difference with our advocacy; we bring public service closer to the people. Furthermore, I believe that this is my training ground... Everyday, as I face different individuals, as I encounter numerous problems, I am preparing myself for my future role as a servant of the people. So there!
Sentence number 3: In all the journeys I ever took in life – with my loved ones and even alone – I have always been grateful. Despite my many faults, I’ve always sought to better myself after every learning experience. Despite hurting some people at some point in time, I’ve always done some benevolence which would be commensurate to the despair I have caused. ||
Sigh. I just had to state this. Indeed, I've done things which I am not proud of, but then, I always made sure that I made "bawi" -- eventhough it wasn't good enough for the people I've hurt or it wasn't even for them -- I really, really was adamant in doing something good so that the heavens would forget I ever did something bad.. :c
Sentence number 4: To be kind when others are not; to have compassion even when you too are burdened; to stand by your principles when it is not popular; to be filled with abundant love that would enable you to forgive others and yourself – this is what I always strive for. ||
Ahhhh! My saving grace! I've learned so much (and learning more still) but these are the most important aspects I've gleaned throughout my existence.
Finally: My life has never been perfect, but it has always been blessed. ||
Need I say more?
