APRIL FOOL THAT I AM

  (WARNING:  This entry is not meant to be understood...)

Last April 1st, I attempted to pull one on my Best but as always, the joke was on me.  This week's been a blur to me.  I alternated from being ok to being unenthusiastic, then back again... until Best found me crying in bed this morning before I was even awake.  For what reason, I don't know.  I just feel sad about many things.  Some are product of my touchy-feeliness this time in my life and some are my paranoid reactions to questions and assumptions (at least as interpreted by my glum mood and temperamentality right now) thrown my way and some are just general things (like the price of a kilo of rice has increased! or that the peso is getting stronger but we little people don't see nor feel it! HAHAHA) 

All these bottled up questions, uncertainties and uncleared air are taking their toll on my peace of mind.  Well, who knows, maybe I only need a little bit more of sleep! or "maybe to be back with a body that has one hidden belly button; not 1+ 3 whereas the 2nd, 3rd & 4th "navels" keep dripping a river with an end that is most likely a month more or two from now."  And then there's another doubtful one....

Patience, patience, patience..... it is a virtue...

.....well, right now, I'm not one virtuous woman, just one frustrated bruhilda....

We've been checking the two books of Kings this week. It's a narration about the kings and the events during their reign in Israel and Judah. Good and powerful stories, though some actions are senseless, and this makes some narratives sad, graphic and tragic.  Tragic as in mothers making deals and schedules to cook their children just so they could survive a famine.  It is really sad and the tragic stories do not help any to improve my state of mind.  Read the books, you'll see. There is no happiness most anywhere...

When I try to hide my emotions behind flippancy or indifference, it backfires.......  Honesty speaks....  Some people are probably wondering what screw in my head is loose.

???? ?????? ?????? ????? ???????  

Thanks to my fellow scrabblers... the games really help give a detour for this overwrought mind, body and soul! 

Sis D, ayan, nag-umpisa na akong maloka!  Don't worry, you'll have your turn...

O God, my Abba Father, I know that it's by Your grace alone that I'm still here!
And still, I need your grace in my life.... Please protect me from my rebellious self and from any of the things that the enemy intends to use to block my path to the lessons I should learn, the humility I should demonstrate, the forgiveness I should give and receive, the love and blessings I should appreciate, the joy I should be enjoying, the goals I should be envisioning and the realization of the growth that you are cheering me on to reach.   In your Son and my Savior Jesus' name. Amen .

Hello Margie,
Glad to see you back here, thanks for sharing your thoughts. I am delighted , as always, to read your blogs.Sometimes well runs dry and it needs refilling to give out more. It is okay to tell things as it is, been through a lot of depression bouts lately and I think I know what you are going through. Yes, I heard about the peso gaining strength over the USD but that does not mean the peso is gaining value, it is the USD that is losing its value due to the economic recession going on here. I agree with you, so many things are going on there right now and it can be so depressing . And we know these will not get any better no matter what the politicians promise but we know that God is still in control and He will with with us to the end. What a blessed hope.
Sige, salamat mowan ni adibay, have a blessed weekend in His care. God bless. Hugs

of big shoes and lessons

April 2001 I woke up early this morning and went straight to doing my weekend chores...like hanging a two-week worth of laundry under the sun (before the sun is up), afterwhich I went back to bed to do some reading. Three hours later, my mom came and said, "Men ina-no? Ollaw law!" (Are you ready? We're about to leave!") I was confused for a moment then I realized it's the first Saturday of the month and I need to be somewhere to teach. It totally slipped my mind as my mind was still all over the place from Xami's stay in the hospital and then traveling right after it and coming home again. I changed and put my things in my backpack and was gonna put on my shoes only to realize I don't have any appropriate shoes. I asked the hubby if I can try one of his and a pair looked not so bad as the others. So off we went with me looking like I have boats attached to my feet rather than shoes. I used the lesson that I prepared for a women's conferenc

ADDICTIONS

My addictions are weird but I think these are not unique to me.  I have three addictions and I am very glad that I have overcome one of them, at least for now.   #SUGAR_ADDICT  Over a month ago, I was probably one of the worst sugar/carb addict there is.  Since I was diagnosed with diabetes almost three decades ago, I went into a rollercoaster of dieting and fasting and binge eating.  I would weigh myself, get disgusted with what I see and resolve to eat nothing for a week. I would lose 10kg, then the following week, I would eat all the calories that I restricted myself from and more.  Then in April of last year I tried the ketogenic diet and it was working for a month or so until an aunt commented that I will get all wrinkly and saggy if I lose too much weight and my mind used that statement as an excuse to go back to my standard way of eating which has always left me feeling and looking bloated, inflamed, fat, and ugly.  It also aggravated all my health issues specially w
