• Come What May

    I’m working on graveyard shift this week, and since there’s plenty of time to spare, I’ve been thinking of blogging but the problem is… I can’t think of anything sensible to write! :(

    I don’t know why that is so when it’s impossible that nothing is happening in my life. So maybe there is nothing worth-blogging and my life is simply boring that way that I couldn’t even put any of it into words.

    Maybe I could write about my college friends who I met up with last weekend. Ai-ai was here so we took her around for a bit. We walked around the mall and talked about the things that are keeping us busy these days and asked about how everyone else from our batch were doing. I missed hanging out with them. It’s been 2 years since we graduated; time surely flies.

    Or I could share how WordPress is driving me absolutely nuts! Fortunately, I have a very pretty friend who’s patient and kind enough to explain the basics and install some plugins for me. Haha. I’m having a hard time learning stuff by myself these days… It seems that I prefer spoonfeeding!

    I could also write about my brother who’s coming here next week to join us. He’s going job-hunting too so let’s all hope that works out for the best.

    Also, I watched Pride & Prejudice on DVD yesterday, and I think it’s a “nice” film. Hehe. You get the point. :P

    I’m finally done reading Kafka On The Shore by Haruki Murakami last week, and I have to say that I enjoyed it. For a fantasy novel, it was rather interesting. And I like the way the author included a lot of historical facts that I’ve never heard before. So you could say I learned quite a few from it.

    My high school has finally launched its official website. I got all nostalgic just browsing through it. A lot has changed since the year I graduated high school (March 2000). And I’m thinking that it would be really nice if I could come and visit my alma mater one of these days.

    I went to see Nacho Libre with Deej tonight. Jack Black was pretty hilarious. But it was obviously a low-budgeted film, so one must not expect too much.

    And.. this weight-reduction thing is harder that I thought! Waah.

    But on to more serious stuff…

    Sometimes I feel that no matter what I do or how hard I try the effort that I’m exerting is still in vain. I mean, how does one really prove his or her worth when that’s not really how things are supposed to be? Do things have to take time? Or does one just have to make up his or her mind, give up whatever it is, and see the bigger picture — that it is not meant to be — so would you just stop pushing it!

    But, if you ask me now, I just want to do something special for people. I want to help whoever that may need my help. I want to be able to help my family more. I want to serve God, but I don’t know how I can do that now. I want to minister to children, maybe teach in a Sunday School like I used to so I could share Bible stories and see the amazed looks on the kids’ faces.. I think that would really give me much fulfillment and help me forget how I’m feeling sort of worthless right now. There are a lot of things that I feel I want to do but in the situation that I am now, I feel very limited. And that makes me kinda sad..

    Eek. Just as I suspected earlier, this blog entry wouldn’t make much sense. So please excuse me, I think I need some sleep.

    teach Sunday School at our church!! hehe. bket ba kasi antagal na kita niyayaya eehhh!! :)

    hay joni, i was reading your post and i couldn’t help but MISS YOU anubaaaa hehe. im not sure if i get what you’re trying to say dun sa matalinhagang part ng post nato, pero for all it’s worth, you should know God’s been using you in more ways than one (think of me and you’ll see. haha.)

    alamuyon, minsan naiisip ko rin yan eh. i’ve always believed that wherever we are, that’s where GOd wants us to be–He always has a purpose, He allows things to turn out that way, yaddayadda.. we all get the drift. then again, there’s such a thing as disobedience and stubbornness too. so parang alamuyoonnn, sometimes, it’s hard to distinguish when we’re really WHERE we’re supposed to be, and when we’re just being stubborn and using THE safe excuse (that is, God allowed for me to be here) to justify our actions. i guess we’re all guilty of that (haha, duuuh, ang haba ng comment ko kungdi ba naman ako guilty ewan ko nalang hahaha).

    haynako. ang tanda naten. wish ko lang we’re making the right choices.. MORE SO, that we know IF the choices we chose are the right ones. anuba joni, haha, see what happens to me when you’re not around? haha, ang dameng thoughts na hindi malabas!! hahaha. pfft. nagblog daw ba sa comments mo. o sya. im wearing your jacket. haha, miss kita. tama na, baka isipin na nung mga readers mo, tomboy ako ahah. see ya in a few days. :)

    by the way, may good news ako. :P

    Miss you joni…:cute: Ako rin dami ko plans to serve Him… Pero the I’m guilty of the same excuse… Well ako feeling ko nalilimitahan ako sa mga resources na bigya Nya. Pero alamuyoon (ala Rhiz..hehe) mas ok na gamitin ung mga resources na andyan… Wala lang suggestion lang poh.

    Ako gusto ko maging commentator sa church namin. Maging katekista. Share my life… Pero siyemps… may tests tayo everyday… Sometime masyado na tayong nao-occupy ng mga “tests” natin na un… (Guilt talaga ako rito):upside:

    Ala lng…lungkut-lungkutan lang talaga ako…
    :(

    See? For someone who didn’t think that they had anything to write about, you sure did have a lot to say! I’m sorry for your feel of low self-worth. I’m sure you’ll find your path soon enough. Just have patience. Sometimes it takes time before we realize what we’re here for.

    I feel that way sometimes. As a college student I feel as though my time is very limited. I just started a new school and there is a LOT of work involved because it’s an art school so projects are due every week in almost every class. On top of that I will getting a part time job. I want to be able to have sometime to serve God as well. I know God knows my situation so I do what I can. I volunteer to watch over the kids in my church’s nursery every other sunday. Gradually I would like to work my way up and actually do bible studies with preschoolers. Hmmm…we’ll see! :)

  12. Chette says:

    eh? for you blog because it is what you want to express.. and its not “nonsense at all”. Serving God.. hmm… well my advice is of course you have to.. pray for it (that’s the first step) and start sharing online until God trains you and then In His time He’ll use you on your church :)
