If you want to feel rich,

Shared grief is half the sorrow,

but happiness when shared,

is doubled.

New Starbucks Diary

January 22, 2009

Got a message coming from Starbucks today advising me that their organizer will be available by March of this year...

I was taken aback...

Wha-ha-what?

March 2009??

hu hu hu...
sob sob sob...

My most awaited diary will be on my hand somewhat in March...

No specific date yet though they gave another add-on (Consuelo or Pampalubag loob) they will include a Starbucks bag with it aside from the coffee they gave me when I surrendered my sticker card...

Somehow it made me smile...
can't wait for that month to come...
will start counting now...1, 2, 3, 4,......

Moments_Watch Out

January 20, 2009

Because of lower volume of PNR's to worked on my shift...
I gave my self a dose of web surf today... hmmmm...
not minding of my bad QA's for the past few days...
hate it...
it made me feel so bad-really, really bad...
added to that is the email I got from my personal QA cc to my supervisors, managers etc..
advising me to respond within 24 hours regarding in my commitment for improvement...
really hate it..
this day really sucks good thing we don't have loads of PNR's to work on...
Indulge my self in movie trailers to watch out for 2009...
here it is...

I do love the movie Underworld 1 and 2, just only today I stumbled upon some fellow blogger online and learned about the prequel for Underworld...too bad Seline will not be there... here is the trailer for you peeps out there...

Underworld: Rise of the Lycans
This prequel story traces the origins of the centuries-old blood feud between the aristocratic vampires known as Death Dealers and their onetime slaves, the Lycans. In the Dark Ages, a young Lycan named Lucian emerges as a powerful leader who rallies the werewolves to rise up against Viktor, the cruel vampire king who has enslaved them. Lucian is joined by his secret lover, Sonja, in his battle against the Death Dealer army and his struggle for Lycan freedom.

I'm also a fan of The Fast and The Furious (2001) and right now they have the 2009 Fast & Furious with the tag line-New Model. Original Parts. I believed pertains to the new storyline with original cast-Vin Diesel,Paul Walker and Michelle Rodriguez and Jordana Brewster. Love this...

Fast & Furious
When a crime brings them back to L.A., fugitive ex-con Dom Toretto reignites his feud with agent Brian O'Conner. But as they are forced to confront a shared enemy, Dom and Brian must give in to an uncertain new trust if they hope to out maneuver him. And from convoy heists to precision tunnel crawls across international lines, two men will find the best way to get revenge: push the limits of what's possible behind the wheel.

Will surely watch out for these movies....

I miss Andy....

January 18, 2009

Credit to the owner of this picture

Sometime last November, I received a text message coming from a long-lost friend...

I haven't heard from him for a while but I never ever did stop being a friend to him. I still maintained the communication I had with his wife Lizette and checked on them once in a while. I continued praying for Andy that somehow the Lord would bring him back to his senses and remember his wife and daughter whom he abandoned for a long time.

Even if he forgets about me I will still pray for Andy and wish him well... not until today I got a text message from him...

Andy: Why did you stop being a friend?...

I answered him

Istariray: "I never stopped being a friend". If I did why up to this time I maintained my communication with Lizette...

He paused and asked why again...

Andy: why I do not hear from you again?

Istariray:(I answered...) You told me not to text or even send you a message-- Andy you pushed me away... I never stopped thinking and praying about you... that every time and at any time of the day I remembered you I always say a little prayer for you... he asked for my email addy...

Istariray: (I replied) "It's still the same, my email addy never changed...(I asked him) Why have you forgotten me?

Andy: (he replied)- I deleted everything in my address book and that includes your name...

I gave a sigh... he totally had forgotten me... I miss you, brother... I will never fail to pray for you...

To Andy with love

I miss you brother

I miss your letter

I'm praying someday you'll remember

I'll never stop praying for you

I'll never erase you from my memory

I'll be right here waiting that someday you'll be back

I miss Lizette your lovely wife

I miss your daughter-have you remember...

Even if you have forgotten me... the same star will still shine right here...

I miss you, Andy... I miss you Manong....

What happened to you... is all I can say

But then I'll continue praying for you...

That someday..somehow the LORD will lead you back into our arms again...

Moments_And it is because of Love

January 10, 2009

Buging-ging,

There are times that I seriously wanted to file an annulment to your dada because of this very silly argument that we had today...

it gave me heart ached and head ached...

I kept on praying in the silence of my heart that let my love for him overpower everything...

and it does...

smiles...

Thank God for love...

Moments_Still

January 05, 2009

Got a message from Betty today... just sharing...

Greetings!

Yearly predictions can be a very touchy subject. Yet the Lord has given me a "word" for you to consider.

I personally believe it ' s a pretty accurate word.

The word of the Lord for 2009 is "STILL."
That ' s all - just the word "STILL."

However, as you will read, it ' s a very, very powerful word.

It is a "now" word that will empower you throughout 2009 and beyond!

I personally guarantee each and every one of these "predictions" for 2009!

I predict that:

The Bible will STILL be the eternal Word of God - forever settled in Heaven!
Prayer will STILL always work!
The Father will STILL be sitting confidently on His indomitable throne!
Jesus will STILL be the Way, the Truth, and the Life - the only means by which you may access the Father!
The Holy Spirit will STILL be our Comforter - comforting you from the inside, out!
The Church will STILL be "the pillar and ground of the truth" manifesting the wisdom of God!
Healing (for spirit, soul, and body) will STILL be in His wings!
The Gospel will STILL be the answer - whatever the question!
His grace will STILL be all-sufficient and our strength, whatever the task!
The gifts of the Spirit will STILL change lives - instantly, radically, and permanently!
You will STILL be God ' s most prized possession - His cherished son or daughter!
Heaven will STILL be wonderful, hell will STILL be horrible!
"By faith" will STILL be the only way for you to live.
You will STILL be "more than a conqueror in Christ" - victory is imminent!
Sowing will STILL result in reaping! So keep sowing!
God will STILL "always cause you to triumph in Christ!"
The love of God will STILL be in your heart - and nothing can separate you from it!
"All things will STILL work together for your good" - as you do His will!
You will STILL "be the head and not the tail" - blessed when you go out, blessed when you come in!
The devil will still, still, STILL, be a big-time loser!
