"Consider it pure joy whenever you face trials of many kinds"

I wouldn't ask for life to be kind, rather, I'd ask that I be strong enough to endure it.

I had an epiphany today and it made the end of this term right.

I think I have become too comfortable with Dev. Stud (my course) that God decided to shake me this term. When I started majoring, I was so motivated and I was so excited. I worked hard for every presentation, I read through every reading thoroughly and paid attention to every detail, I did every requirement with excellence (not to brag) and then.. I became too relaxed.. I thought I was good at what I was doing, I became proud, my work became mediocre and I became one of the average students.. When I know I have more to offer than mediocrity..

This term was the hardest term I've ever gone through of my 2 years in college.. It was both a struggle and a challenge, physically, mentally and emotionally. It was a test of faith, patience, strength and of character.. Time and time again, God reminded me that I could not do anything on my own, it's a good thing He and the friends He has blessed me with stuck it out with me through out the whole term..

It was truly a humbling experience, everything that I went through.. God reminded me how it's like to have child like faith.. how it's good to admit that you don't know and how it's good to admit that "the more you know, the more you don't know." He reminded that me that I should not depend on my own strength rather I should depend on Him because it's only through Him that I'd be victorious.. And so I am.. Today I (almost) finished this term in triumph..

Whatever marks I get for this term, I know that it's what I deserve.. I know that it's what I worked for.. I may not get the grades I desire but I know that my grades are not a reflection of how much I've learned during the term because I know that I've learned so much and so much does not only encompass "head knowledge"..

I am excited for next term! I'm excited to work with my group mates again and I'm excited to learn new stuff again. Last 2 terms! (this blog is making me too nostalgic)

101st thought!

I can't believe I already have 100 blog entries up! And it's been almost a year since I put up this blog! Oh blogger, you've been good to me! Cheers to life and online journals!

Moving on...

As I have.. or so I'd like to think.. oh, humor humor..

So, the past few weeks have given me sporadic [rage] blackouts and semi-permanent migraines and worst, a very very very moody body clock. I feel sleepy at the oddest times of day and awake during the most awkward times at night. And yes, this has caused me fluctuating emotions, a very indecisive mind and awkward breakdowns about the weirdest of things.

So lately the drama queen in me decided that she would not hope to get married anymore. HAHA. It's sort of ironic when I'm the kind of girl that plans her future [husband included] since she was 8. But yes, as of today (8/14/11) I do not expect to marry.

BUT PLEASE DO NOT GET ME WRONG. I don't mean to close doors to any guy who's brave enough to ask me to marry him. All I want to say is that, I don't want to expect anymore. Neutral ground, safe ground to be more precise. If he comes, then good, if he wont then so be it. :) Besides, his absence will not stop me from adopting pretty children :)

so yes, as of today I am contended with God's love which is more than what I could ever ask for :)

Nineteen Random Things About, Yours Truly

Because I am too excited for my birthday, I'm celebrating everyday until I reach my birthday and since today marks the last ten days of my 18th year, I'd write a blog about 19 random things about me. :)

14. My favorite numbers are; 8, I don't know why. 19, because it's my birthdate. 16, because it's my uaap favorite player's jersey number and 24, for some reason I've learned to love it.
