God is really great in putting things together. What can I say? He is always in perfect timing! The start of my “24th New Year” is something I would never forget for all my life. With a new blessing of life and a level higher in my work, I really have so much to be thankful for. Best Birthday Yet!

My mother always tells me stories about my childhood whenever we have “bonding time” or may I say, every time we are together. She really knows everything about my childhood and she enjoys telling me those funny stories. We even laugh till we drop! But my childhood stories that momma tells are not always funny.

I even sometimes hear myself say… “Pasukan na naman?” “Di ko man lang na-enjoy ang sembreak.” And now, I can SOMETIMES realize the brevity of life. Sometimes… ? Yes! Kasi may mga araw sa buhay ko bilang estudyante na nasasabi ko… “Ang tagal naman magbakasyon. Tagal ng sembreak!” “Hay! Ang tagal naman ng class. Tinatamad na ko!!!” “Di pa ba uwian? Bato na ko!” I know! Nagdaan ka rin sa ganyan. Nasabi mo rin yan! But still, I can realize how short life is. “Life is fleeting as vapor”, the Bible says. Para lang tayong mga bula. We appear for a little time and then vanish away. QUESTIONS, Paano mo ba nagamit ang TIME mo? Paano mo nagamit ang kung ide-describe ko, the most precious commodity on earth…. ...
