Especially for you.

I just want to take some time to thank someone who has been a truly blessing to me after all. More than all the struggles we've been through, he has thought me a lot of things. So here goes whatever.

Thank you for being such a blessing to me. More than all the milk teas and ice creams you have bought me for free, thank you because you have always been someone who never fails to encourage me when things are getting rough. You are always the one who just manages to cheer me up, always knows what to say. Thank you because you have thought me how to be patient in everything. For someone like me who is a lot always impatient, thank you for letting me experience waiting for the perfect time God has prepared for all of us. Thank you for always leading me to God and not to you. Thank you for your strong passion to God that has made me want to worship Him more. Thank you because you have brought me closer to my girly best friends. You have made me more accountable to them, telling them everything that has happened to me. Thank you for all the fun memories we have shared. All of those will always be treasured, safely placed in my heart. I pray that in the near future, a lot more new memories will be made. Thank you for just being you when I am around. Thank you.

I thank my God every time I remember you. -Philippians 1:3

What If.

Then a thought suddenly came into me.

What if Facebook suddenly crashed? What would happen to all my Facebook photos? What would happen to all those still-pictures-memories?

I was browsing Facebook photos through my friend's page who is responsible for all the photos we had :D I realized how sooo vain we we're, or rather we are. We totally had a LOT of albums already and a LOT of pictures per album. HAHA. We totally are not camera-shy!

Almost everyday was a picture-moment day. Looking at all those pictures is nostalgic, makes me miss my life back then. It makes me want to redo all those stuff that we did. But still not forgetting what I have now. Then I thought, what would happen if all those pictures suddenly would disappear? What would happen to all the memories those pictures bring? There's just a lot of photos to lose. And I can't bare to lose all of it in a snap.

I hope my friend had all those picture backed up so I won't have to worry about it. Haha :))

Everything will be alright.

There would come a time where in everything that's happening to you is not exactly the way you planned it. Well that's life! Not everything would go the way you wanted it to be, the way you thought it would be. Cause if that would be the case, then I think life would be dead boring. No challenges and efforts. But there is a promise we can hold on to.

"There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens:" -Ecclesiastes 3:1

This Bible verse is saying that everything has been planned already. No need to rush for things to take place. Everything is under control by our Heavenly Father and we just need to be patient. Patient enough to trust God that everything will be alright. The best is prepared for us to enjoy. No worries! Just keep trusting.

One More Chance.

This is my family! :'>

And this is our latest photo as one complete family.

Brandares Family (From left to right: Benet, Bea, Mama Zeny,
Beanne, Papa Philip and Brian) 

This photo was actually taken during my eldest sister Beanne's wedding on August 29, 2010. And that was the last time since we were all together in one place. My sister Beanne is now living in New Jersey with her husband and my other sister Benet is living in Bangkok while I'm living with my parents here in the Philippines with my brother.

Since my sister Beanne has worked as a Flight Attendant, we hardly got the chance to be all together. There was also this time, I think 2 or 3 years ago, when it was my kuya Brian who's in abroad and I was left with my sister Benet and my parents.

That has always been the case. One will return home, but then someone would have to go somewhere. I never really show my emotions regarding this things in our house, but this is a serious matter to me.

2 years now, and I'm still praying to God that one day, someday, there would come a day or weeks or months where we can all be together again in one place. Just the thought of us having dinner together means a lot to me already. All I wanted is to be with them again. Even though we are not really close to each other as a family, I still love their company.

But I AM TRUSTING GOD with this. I TRUST HIS TIMING. I know when that day comes, it will be perfect. It will be God's perfect timing. Right now, I know He is preparing me for that day to come. He is busy preparing everything for us cause that day will be a day where He will show His love and compassion for us. A day that His favor and blessings will be upon us. I will wait for that day Lord. I will wait patiently. And I will wait while worshiping.

I choose to trust my God cause I know He never fails. He is a God who gives generously to those who puts their faith in Him. He is the One who gives me hope when I had none.

There's always a first time.

Here goes nothing.

So I've decided to have my own personal blog where I can write all the things my brain would ever think of :) But here's the catch, Laziness gets the nerve out of me. There would be time when I would want to blog but this laziness would just kill the want.

I hope I can keep up with this blog thing. I hope I can update this as always as possible. Besides, I can use my iTouch to do this. Hooray for me! :))

CAUTION: Beware of so random and unorganized thoughts. HAHA.
