Favorite song:)

One of my favorite love songs...:)

Earth, Wind & Fire
The Right Time lyrics

I'll give you love, I'll open up
My heart to you, girl
Cause you're the one, I've waited for
Baby, all of my life... it's you baby

(I'm ready, I'm ready, baby, can't you see)
And this time, it's the right time, baby...for love
It's the right time, lady, to make you mine
And this time, it's the right time, baby
Oh, it's the right time, honey, to make you mine

I promise, girl, that I'll be there
Ain't goin no where, this time
Won't hesitate, cause love don't wait
For anyone, not anyone...no, baby

There comes a time in every man's life
He opens his eyes and then he realizes true love
Baby, this time I'll give my all to you
Cause it's the right time for love
Can't you see that

P.S. I was looking over the internet for an mp3 version of this song but after much research, I was only successful in finding a you tube link. :)

A cause to pause...

"Never pray for an easier life

pray to be a stronger person

Never pray for tasks equal to your power

pray for power equal to your tasks.

Then doing your work will be no miracle

You will be the miracle"

-Phillips B, Streams in The Desert

A milestone for 2010.

This was something that I never expected to happen in this lifetime.

It was always a dream to drive my own.

Thank you Lord for your provision and for your blessing.

May I bless others through this.

I'm excited for road trips to come.

missing my second home

When you ask me if I miss America, I would probably answer you with a No if you asked me a few months ago or probably last year.

Ask me now, and my answer would be a Yes.

Why the sudden shift?

I don't really know...

I was looking through my pictures of my L.A. adventure as a student and it makes me miss everyone there all the more.

I still can't believe that it's been a year since I last arrived here in Manila.

stay home

It was a restful Saturday night.

It's very rare that I get to stay home on the weekends.

But this week, I chose to.

I needed time to just rest, to relax, and to get some sleep.

It's been a long and challenging week.

Working as an research assistant for a dissertation defense

and adjusting to a new work- put them altogether in a week

and it leaves you floating from one day to another.

Amidst everything, I find joy in what I do.

My discipler reminded me yesterday afternoon that this is the season of your life that

you need to embrace. She said, you will miss this when you get married or when you get old. You wouldn't want to look back and tell yourself, "what if...what if..."

I always tell others that not everyone has the privilege to be in the field that she enjoys.

Not everyone.

So I count everything as a blessing.

Thank you Lord for you have placed me in an arena where I come alive, where I can smile and say, this is what I was born for.

:)

....

From dust you came and to dust you shall return...

Life is like a mist.

Till we see each other, Lola Vi.
