a man's love

so i attended church today after missing it for a month.. it was good.. the speakers all talked about missionary work.. but there was this one speaker who talked about his mission in life. and he said his mission in life was to make the woman he loves happy.. it was so sweet of him to say it in public.. his wife blushed and gave a shy smile.. they looked so cute.. telling everyone about your love for someone is just way too sweet.. i so wanted someone like that who isn't afraid to tell anyone how much he loves me.. awww... now im in "love" mode.. hahaha..


but i told myself that i'll let my heart rest for a little while.. it has to regain its former perfect condition.. haha.. but seriously though i literally have heart problems..i think i got it from my dad.. my mum's afraid to go to the doctor because i might go under some sort of angioplasty or angiogram or something.. she said im too young to worry things about my health.. i have to enjoy my life first before worrying about my health.. haha..i love her when she said that.. :)


for now i look forward to meeting the man in my dreams.. when i was still in high school.. the man i prayed about.. hehe.. i hope dreams do come true.. (fingers crossed) ;) i have to focus on my work and on my self improvement plans.. haha.. as if i have any.. i still have to think of something..


basta the man who talked about his love for his wife made me realize that people like him do exist.. i just have to be patient and wait for him to come find me.. haha.. :) i have my hopes up..


ok.. so this blog sounds so teenager-ish.. haha.. sorry. im just too perky and happy right now.. i haven't been to church for so long.. this was the longest time i missed church. i missed FOUR sundays.. tsk.. i can see the difference when im attending church and when im not.. now i know why people say things about how dangerous it is to being too engrossed with the world.. you will become like them once you forget who you are.. who you really are.. i now know the importance of why we were encouraged to attend sacrament every sunday.. it really does have effect on people..


yeah.. im sorry.. this might bore you a lil bit but its the truth. i dont admit it to myself but i know im the religious kinda girl. but i don't like people to know that. i dont know why but its just a personal choice. i dont wanna be dubbed as the 'religious girl' i just wanna be known as the cool, laidback, smart, classy girl.. hahah.. now i know thats too much to ask but hey, i can dream right? lol.. ^__^


have a great sabbath everyone! coz i had a great one.. ;)

apple talk

girls are like apples. the best ones are at the top of the trees.
the boys don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. instead they just get the rotten apples that are on the ground that aren't as good but easy. so the apples at the top think there's something wrong with them when in reality they're amazing. they just have to wait for the right boy to come along. the one who's brave enough to climb all the way to the top.

update

i got nothing on my head right now. no topic in mind. i just wanna write coz i got free time.

so what happened is that i got accepted to do volunteer work at maternity/children's hospital but it was cut short. i volunteered only for 2 weeks because i got an offer on another hospital in cebu. and so i decided to work here since it pays me. well its not much but at least i have a salary compared to volunteer work.. haha..

the sad thing is that i have to leave my mother alone.. and i also have to leave my dear Young Women. they sorta became part of my life now. i'v learned so much and they've touched my life in ways i never thought could happen. because im the quiet kind of girl. i don't talk much and i certainly don't wanna be noticed and most of all i don't wanna be a leader. id rather become a follower than become a leader. but the bishop called me to be their president. and of course at first i felt inadequate but then someone up above helped me and i got things done.. plus i also have two great councilors.. and in time i handled them like im the captain of a ship with 30+ crew.. haha.. :) we were sailing smoothly.. but oh all good things must come to an end.. :(



sadly i have to leave them and give myself a little something.. not having a job is not part of my dreams.. when i left, one of my YW sent me this message

Halu ate Chic!
First of all, I would like to ask your condition there, are you ok??Well, we understand why you LEFT us helplessly(hihih) coz you're going to let yourself grow and get a better life.I just want to thank you for being a good leader to us, someone we had looked up to and served as an example of what a leader should act. At first, I'm kind of shy to talk to you coz I don't know.. hahhha... well as time went by.. i realized you're fun to be with and you're easy to approach. I just wish you happiness always on your new job and guidance also. It's such an honor to meet you and have you as our leader. You've shared so many knowledge with us and you have inspired us to do good things. Thank You very much! God Bless you always.!

this made me feel sad but happy at the same time.. i know they're great young girls. i just pray that they won't forget the lessons we've learned together and apply it to their lives.. i love them and they love me back.. i felt it.. :) and its such a great feeling knowing that your students love you and are happy to have you. most especially when they'd tell you that you have inspired them to do good things.. with this i tell myself "now that's not so bad, chic.." ^_^

in the end everything worked out just fine.. i talked to my father about the situation and he agreed with me and he told me that he'd stay with mom since im going away. and to add to that my younger sister decided that she'd transfer to another company and choose a branch in ormoc. and she did. so my mom has my father and my younger sister at home.. :) and with my young women, i was replaced by a faithful returned sister missionary. :) i know my mom and YW are in good hands.. i am happy and i felt so blessed that everything worked out.. ^__^


the end.. ;)

p.s. this is nurse kristelle saying hi to you.. :)

conference 2010

so i missed the general conference earlier thus i decided to watch it online.. here are some lines, stories, messages from leaders that I'm truly grateful for.. :)they keep me on the right track..

A helpful habit is to lift our vision daily in order to maintain an eternal perspective of the things we plan and do, especially if we detect a tendency to wait until a future tomorrow to do what we know we should pursue while we have our present today.

Along our way we are aided in our choices through the sustaining influence of the Spirit. Now, if we choose to act contrary to the light and understanding that we have, we will experience a bad conscience, which of course does not feel good. But a bad conscience is a blessing in that we immediately are reminded that it is time to repent. When we are humble and desire to do what is right, we will be anxious to act promptly to change our ways

-Per G. Malm-

“When I was 15 years old, I often felt that there were too many rules and commandments. I wasn’t sure that a normal, fun-loving teenager could enjoy life with so many restrictions. Furthermore, the many hours spent working on my father’s ranch were seriously dipping into my time with my friends.
“This particular summer, one of my jobs was to ensure that the cows grazing on the mountain pasture did not break through the fence and get into the wheat field. A cow grazing on the growing wheat can bloat, causing suffocation and death. One cow in particular was always trying to stick her head through the fence. One morning, as I was riding my horse along the fence line checking on the cattle, I found that the cow had broken through the fence and gotten into the wheat field. To my dismay, I realized that she had been eating wheat for quite some time because she was already bloated and looked much like a balloon. I thought, ‘You stupid cow! That fence was there to protect you, yet you broke through it and you have eaten so much wheat that your life is in danger.’
“I raced back to the farmhouse to get my dad. However, when we returned, I found her lying dead on the ground. I was saddened by the loss of that cow. We had provided her with a beautiful mountain pasture to graze in and a fence to keep her away from the dangerous wheat, yet she foolishly broke through the fence and caused her own death.

“As I thought about the role of the fence, I realized that it was a protection, just as the commandments and my parents’ rules were a protection. The commandments and rules were for my own good. I realized that obedience to the commandments could save me from physical and spiritual death. That enlightenment was a pivotal point in my life.”

Sister Arnold learned that our kind, wise, and loving Heavenly Father has given us commandments not to restrict us, as the adversary would have us believe, but to bless our lives and to protect our good name and our legacy for future generations—just as they had for Lehi and Nephi. Just like the cow that received the consequences of her choice, each one of us must learn that the grass is never greener on the other side of the fence—nor will it ever be, for “wickedness never was happiness.”8 Each one of us will receive the consequences of our choices when this life is over. The commandments are clear, they are protective—they are not restrictive—and the wonderful blessings of obedience are numberless!

-Mervyn B. Arnold- (story from his wife)


Endure to the end we must, for our goal is eternal life in the presence of our Father in Heaven.

-Pres. Thomas S. Monson-

The Lord loves you. He knows your hopes and your disappointments. He will not forget you because your pains and your suffering are continually before Him.

I know Heavenly Father loves each of His children perfectly, individually, and constantly. I know that, as women, we have an essential part in the plan of happiness. Our best effort is all He requires from us, and each of us is needed in building up the kingdom. The Atonement is real.

-Silvia H. Allred-


Contention departs our homes and our lives as we strive to live these Christlike attributes. “And ye shall also forgive one another your trespasses; for verily I say unto you, he that forgiveth not his neighbor’s trespasses when he says that he repents, the same hath brought himself under condemnation.”

-Juan A. Uceda-

There is something very liberating when an individual determines of his or her own free will to be obedient to our Father and our God and expresses that willingness to Him in prayer.

I know of no more beautiful and consoling words in all of revelation than these: “Behold, he who has repented of his sins, the same is forgiven, and I, the Lord, remember them no more."
Sometimes, even after confession and paying penalties, the most difficult part of repentance is to forgive one’s self. You must come to know that forgiveness means forgiveness.

-Boyd K. Packer-

these are just the only ones I've finished.. now im feeling a lil bit better.. ^_^
