the longest journey begins with a single step

Once and for all, i called our accounts department and asked them how much i could get for my vacation…although they told me a “fair enough” amount,  still technically,  I know I should be getting more…

I believe in my heart that i’m called to be a part of this church. by this age, I’m full aware that there is no such a thing as perfect church. In one or another, there are things you’d probably disagree on some of the doctrines or principles of your church foster. Knowing if you really belong to the church you attend is something very personal…something between you and God. 

Having attended 2 different churches in the past, one I stayed for like almost 4 yrs, and other for almost a yea…but neither of the two have helped grow as a Christian and as a person the way my current church has …

I didn’t get enough sleep today either. I slept late at night and woke up early. I didn’t do much at home…no internet connection…just watched TV all day long

We stared packing our stuff because we would relocate to a new place… again… just plainly thinking about it  is tiring enough

06/16/08

For the 3rd time in my 1 year and 7 months here in Dubai… and it’s 4th time in 1 yr and 8months all in all that I’ve moved from one house to another…It’s kinda exhausting. You packed your stuff, sealed and labeled their boxes… moved and carried them to a new place, unpacked, put them back to their original places. then a couple of weeks for adjustments. then when you’re already settled and began to be accustomed with the new place, you’d move again.  it’s a bit tiring, you know! But I don’t have much of a choice

Good thing we have real good guy friends here…without their help we couldn’t possibly transfer easily like we did. They did the lifting of our heavy stuff for us. It was so gracious and kind of them to always help us.

TODAY:

I haven’t gotten enough sleep… I’m sure it’s not because “namamahay” ako. as long as I have my sheets and pillows with me, I’m good, I know  can sleep anywhere.  I’ve been having sleepless nights lately…actually for some time n0w… I guess for more than a month, I’ve been having a difficult time getting into sleep… when asleep, subtle noises can wake me up and I can no longer go back to sleep… I know it has a lot to do with me coming back home. I don’t know if I’m just scared or what… I just hope I’m stronger than I think I am in handling these things…

This vacation is bringing me so much stress than joy!
