August 8, 2008 — Minsan lang dadaan ang araw na to. Sayang gusto ko sana magpakuha ng picture kasama mga kaibigan ko kaya lang hindi natuloy kase bukas kukuha na ako ng exam at di pa ako tapos mag-review. Kinakabahan na talaga ako pero sinusubukan ko lang mag-relax relax muna ng konti kaya eto blog muna. Kanina nagising ako 5 ng umaga, nagbasa-basa ng konti at naligo ng 5:30 para pumunta sa misa ng 6 am dun sa parish namin na walking distance lang naman sa bahay. Medyo late ako kase pagdating ko homily na pero ok lang. Swerte pa rin pala ako kase bukod sa andun si Our Lady of Manaoag, ang misa pala na yun offered para sa mga board examinees. Pinapunta ng pari ang mga kukuha ng medical exam sa harap para sa special blessing. Kakaiba pakiramdam nung tumama yung holy water sa kin. Feeling ko sobrang swerte ko talaga. Sana nga swertehin talaga. Good luck sa atin lahat na kukuha ng exam bukas.

Got this poem from a frame I found lying around in the house.

Dear God,

Please help me not sing this song again: "I did my best but I guess my best wasn’t good enough cause here I am back where I was before seems nothing ever changes…" Haaayyyy. -angel

All that I am, all that I have

I lay them down before you, oh Lord

All my regrets, all my acclaims

The joy and the pain, I’m making them yours

Lord, I offer my life to you

Everything I’ve been through

Use it for your glory

Lord I offer my days to you

Lifting my praise to you

As a pleasing sacrifice

Lord I offer you my life

Things in the past, things yet unseen

Wishes and dreams that are yet to come true

All of my heart, alll of my praise

My heart and my hands are lifted to you

Lord, I offer my life to you

Everything I’ve been through

Use it for your glory

Lord I offer my days to you

Lifting my praise to you

As a pleasing sacrifice

Lord I offer you my life

What can we give

That you have not given?

And what do we have

That is not already yours?

All we possess

Are these lives we’re living

That’s what we give to you, Lord

Lord, I offer my life to you

Everything I’ve been through

Use it for your glory

Lord I offer my days to you

Lifting my praise to you

As a pleasing sacrifice

Lord I offer you my life

Lord, I offer my life to you

Everything I’ve been through

Use it for your glory

Lord I offer my days to you

Lifting my praise to you

As a pleasing sacrifice

Lord I offer you my life

Lord I offer you my life

I came across this site and found out some sheep characteristics. Swak siya sa kin. Agree? Hehehehe.

Lamb people have good taste and are quite charming and elegant  and rich. You may find them the center of attention at a stylish dinner party, ravishing all with incomparable wit and bon mots. The opposite is also true: they are often quite shy and sometimes prefer complete anonymity, the quiet life at home with a good book, a roaring fire, and the joys of the palate. A creative flame burns in their lives and you may find them before a canvas experimenting with bright bold genius strokes of paint. Sometimes, they tend to be pessimistic and question the meaning of life, wondering why they dwell among green mountains. They are quite often deeply religious or spiritual and quite passionate about their work and their belief. Sweet Potato Soup and Cellophane Noodles are among keys to good health. ________________________________________________________________________

EARTH SHEEP - 1859, 1919, 1979 This is type of Sheep is optimistic and more self-reliant. In spite of his strong attachments to the domestic scene and devoted loyalty to family members, he will still try to maintain a certain degree of independence. Earth as his element makes him conservative and careful. He won’t like to waste money but he won’t be counting the pennies either. But being a Sheep, he will still find it difficult to deny himself. What may appear as luxuries to other people will be bare necessities to him. However, just as he plays hard, the Earth Sheep will work hard. He can take his responsibilities seriously and will go out of his way to help his friends. It is unlikely that he will ever turn his back on someone in trouble. Although he may be more adept at concealing his emotions, this particular Sheep is also prone to being neurotic and ultradefensive when criticized. _______________________________________________________________________

Sheep simply want a bit of peace. They enjoy carrying on with life in their own quiet, individual way, content to be in the middle of it all rather than to be leading it. Sheep are quiet and calm people. They enjoy cultural things and focus much of their energy on artistic hobbies. Sheep are easygoing and relaxed, happy to be going with the flow. Years of the Sheep Sheep Years are eighth in the cycle following the Horse Years, and recur every twelfth year.

Sonnet 29

by William Shakespeare

When, in disgrace with Fortune and men's eyes,I all alone beweep my outcast state,And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries,And look upon myself and curse my fate,Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,Featured like him, like him with friends possessed,Desiring this man's art, and that man's scope,With what I most enjoy contented least,Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,Haply I think on thee, and then my state,Like to the lark at break of day arisingFrom sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate

For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings,That then I scorn to change my state with kings.
