Sleep, Where Art Thou?

Sleep evades, even now as the clock ticks to morning my eyes refuse to shut, refuse to give me the rest I sorely need.  A case of insomnia? Maybe. I fear that financial woes got me again... The Christmas holidays is fast becoming a memory, but the pain it bestowed upon our pockets can still be felt, deeply in fact.

Life is not easy and so is money, but Christmas is Christmas and kids still expect a trinket or two for their gifts. Actually we were a little stingy this year, not giving out presents really... We just gave presents for the kids, for our god children and no one else... unlike the past years when we've given everyone a trinket or two.  This year maybe because of the new car and the expenses we incur because of it, we have decided to have a little stringy Christmas, which may also be good for us, as we tend to splurge during these days.  I'm happy though, that the kids are still beaming with joy from their gifts, so in that sense, I am quite satisfied but well spending does have it consequence and we'll salary is a bit late coz my boss is on a holiday.. hahaha.. but we'll make it I know.. somehow I know God makes a way and we seem to be able to get by...

But well, admittedly I am a worry-wort and being one, well, I tend to worry over these things. I cannot help it. I cannot help but worry that we won't have enough to cover the bills and I know I sometimes worry too much. I know God will provide, He always does, but well, as I said I'm a worry wort, so worry I must.. Well, now that I have "unburdened" myself, I hope that sleep will finally come, that I may give my weary body some R & R, a much needed break from it all... Oh when will it all end?

GOD'S "PHONE" NUMBER

GOD'S "PHONE" NUMBER

Hello God, I called tonight
To talk a little while
I need a friend who'll listen
To my anxiety and trial. 
You see, I can't quite make it
Through a day just on my own...
I need your love to guide me,
So I'll never feel alone.

I want to ask you please to keep,
My family safe and sound.
Come and fill their lives with confidence
For whatever fate they're bound.
Give me faith, dear God, to face
Each hour throughout the day,
And not to worry over things
I can't change in any way.

I thank you God, for being home
And listening to my call,
For giving me such good advice
When I stumble and fall..  !!!!!!!
Your number, God, is the only one
That answers every time.
I never get a busy signal,
Never had to pay a dime.

So thank you, God, for listening
To my troubles and my sorrow.
Good night, God, I love You, too,
And I'll call again tomorrow!
P.S.  Please bless all my friends and family too.

Piolo Pascual, KC Concepcion and My Own Two Cents

This week have been a-buzz with news of the celebrity couple Piolo Pascual and KC Concepcion's break up.  Some says it was inevitable, some say they knew it. Some said how sad, while others rejoiced. In the end, a relationship was broken and people got hurt. Well, just like any relationship that ended it is indeed sad. Sadder because everyone wants to dip into their personal pie, especially with celebrities like them.

In my opinion, well everyone is entitled to one, we should just keep out of it.  We can all have our speculations as to why they broke up. Again others deem, it was Piolo's sexual orientation, even though, nothing was really said, nothing was really explained, though some care to put words into KC's mouth and choose to read between the lines, choose to interpret words said to put it as such.  It is indeed sad and Piolo's gender seemed to again be questioned.  But in the end, what really happened is that someone got hurt and keeps on hurting because we chose to hurdle accusations and tried to justify what cannot be justified.

They broke up, it happens to all of us, celebrity or not.  Whatever the reason, it is theirs to keep and we should just be sad about a beautiful couple choosing to part ways.  It is not easy, it is never easy going through what they are both going through right now. Let's not put salt over the wound by making it a big hoopla. Let's just let them live their lives, for tomorrow, another more worthy news will come out and everything will be forgotten, that is until the next chapter in this saga unfolds...

High Blood, Low Blood, and Nose Bleeds

I have hypertension for a year now. I've been taking hypertensive medicine and I've been generally okay for the  past year, but this week, my pressure has been up and down and it's driving me nuts. Coupled with a cold that runs and bleeds my nose, with a few headaches and some palpitations to boot, it is really frustrating coz I don't know what to think anymore.

Last check up I'm generally okay.. with a few high counts here and there but generally still within normal limits so to speak. So part of me is saying that I'm generally healthy that I shouldn't be feeling this way.... All check up points to a normal me.. then what the heck is wrong... I wish I can know so that I can make ways to improve myself.. is this just because of my weight? OH my goodness...

I'm confused and worried. I pray that this is all just part of growing old... Have you ever experienced anything like this?

World Cancer Day

Friday is world cancer day

A small request.. Just one line. Say this prayer with me...

Dear God, I pray for a cure for cancer. Amen

All you are asked to do is keep this circulating, even if it's  Only to one more person. In memory of anyone you know  Who has been struck down by cancer or is still living with it.. I hope that one day no one will have to suffer from cancer anymore...

A Candle Loses Nothing by Lighting Another Candle..
