Just got this from my draft.. I was supposed to post this last July 20. Thanks God, I just got to be busy because of our wedding that I got over this, or forgot this experience easily. Tuloy ko lang ang kwento neh?
_____________________________________
Last Saturday, I was supposed to meet up some friends for a dinner in Glutton's Bay. While waiting for them to arrived the area, I spent it doing my fave-and-free pasttime- shopping.
After buying one yellow blouse at "Sixties" in City Link Mall, I roamed around at Mango in Marina Square. After fitting another yellow blouse (again?), I accidentally left my pouch in the fitting room with my super-new SE W960i phone, credit and atm cards, my Employment-pass card, my Employee ID, my EZ link, and 40$, which happened to be the only cash I got. Blame it to my small bag, that I hesitated to bring my big and thick wallet. Blame it to my my being shopaholic which I usually denies. Blame it to my forgetfullness. Blame it to my carelessness. Never in my life I've been to a situation that I feel I don't have an identity, gosh! all my IDs are there... Buti na lang marunong akong mag-english, if not? Saan ako pupulutin?
But I realized, God does not entirely take away everything. I still have Arnold. I still have brothers and sisters around. Before trying to call the one who "got" my identity, (that she never answered), and before I called the banks to have my cards terminated and M1 to have my line disconnected, I called Arnold. He's actually at work then, and so-worried he said that he'd gonna pick me up at Mango after he finished what he was doing in one hotel. The next time I tried, I couldn't contact him na. Though I trust Arnold that whatever happens, he's gonna pick me up, I called our other friends rin for help. Gosh talaga!!! I never imagined that this is gonna happen to me, sa Singapore pa!
Anyway, it's done. Lessson learned: (1) magdala ng malaking bag if needed, wag pa-girl. (2) wag pagsama-samahin ang ID's, cards and money sa isang lalagyan (3) wag gawing addiction ang shopping. I guess the hardest thing to practice out of this three is the third one. Wahhh!!
Yung lang po. bow.

Counting..
For the longest time, since i've been into this blogging thing, I am posting again. It's been a year, and yes I am back.
This time, this is not about the rantings and the whinings. Though if you still want to hear some, I still have some hehe... Kidding aside, I guess I have nothing to ask for more. Things, rather, the prayers I have been long praying has been showered to me the past months that I have been idle with blogging. Just that the busy me, or the lazy me, had no enough time to put it into writing.
Okay, I now begin. Roughly 7 months ago, God has granted me my desire to get an overseas job, preferably in SG. Most of my friends, and my community back home knows what pushed me to pray harder for that. I want to do it for my family. I got my folks, and 2 younger siblings to support back home. I've been away from home for almost a year, some 4 years ago to even much farther land, for a business trip, but that time it was different because I knew I am staying there for good. So even if it's a little risky to be away, try a new job to a foreign land, with different culture, I decided and took that risk. I thank God, I got many friends in SG, and got a 'new friend', new friends and a new community as well so it was not really hard coping at the beginning.
Second answered prayer. God has given me the right person. The time I really was not looking for it, or at least expecting it to happen. Yes, it's true. I remember one of the blog entries, I had last year, that entry talking about Judy Ann and Ryan (jologs! hehe...), I tell you what that's so true!!! So whenever some single friends of mine fret about their being 'single and searching' status, the once-cynical-me, tells them that they should not look for it, for it will be given at the right place and time. :)
I am really so blessed to have Arnold in my life. After all those bumps and bruises I had, I feel
like this is a new me, or a refreshed me. It's like a missing piece found. He brings out the best in me. He always reminds me me how to be always good and considerate fellow. He never fails to show me to always look on the positive side of life. And the best thing, he helps me to always keep my faith in God burning.
All in all. I'm happy. Again, nothing to ask for more. God has been so good really. I always joke nga to my friends, when I share these stuffs, that God is mapagbiro. Akalain mo ibigay ng sabay-sabay lahat ng prayers ko?
Seriously, I can say that when God hears your call, and he hear it straight from your heart with all you good intentions and great faith, it will be given to you. No matter how many, He'll pour it down. :) Take it from me, sure that it only takes PATIENCE and FAITH. :)
God bless everyone!
