And then He called saying sorry.
And then I said I am never too angry to forgive and I will always forgive.
And then He said thank you and that He is lucky to have me for a wife.
And then we are both reminded once again how important communication is to any relationship.
And then we ended the conversation with a smile, snuggled happily in thoughts.

And I’m grateful to have found some in Sydney.
I’m very lazy to go to work today and so I’m rebelliously wearing TSINELAS at work.
Why am I being lazy today?
…because it’s my Tito Andy’s birthday today
…because my Tito Andy and Tita Bess didn’t go to work today
…because they will be preparing for tonight’s big party at home
…because I know its a holiday in the Phils today (magka-bday si Tito Andy at si Tito Andres Bonifacio)
*sigh*
I could’ve gone into another day off but I decided not to because I’m getting used to working only 4 days a week which is not good. Plus the fact that I’m saving my 2 days-off for the Christmas holidays, because Nicky will be here and I want us to hang out.
Story for the Day: Good Things Come To Those Who Wait
Yesterday I found how lucky I am with my job. My boss and I had a short meeting because there’s a lot of changes and moving going on in our branch. He mentioned that I’m lucky to get the position I got because some of the positions in the branch were only temporary. It was only yesterday that I’ve learned what the word “permanent” in a government office really means. It means, that position is mine not unless I official move or resign. It means that position is mine even if I take on another role (they call it secondment). That position is mine as long as I’m able to do my job.
I realized now that it was really worth the wait. A lot of people told me that I should just find another job. Some even told me “ang tagal-tagal mo na dyan, temp ka pa lang hanggang ngayon?” That hurt a lot. As if they have a right to tell me what’s right or wrong when they don’t even know what else I’ve been thru just to stay in my temporary job. Buti na lang I stood my ground. Buti na lang good things come to those who wait. Buti na lang mabait si Jesus.
Yun lang.
Okay, gotta work.
Have a great weekend everyone!
Becks is here in Sydney, Australia
like in the same country where I’m living at.
How cool is that????!!!!????
Yesterday was a very unusual day for me. Unusual because I got to do something I haven’t done in my entire life.
It started with a meet-up with Erick and Jon at Parramatta.
My first time to meet Jon at feeling close na kami coz we have a lot in common hehe.
Finally a photograph with Master Erick
After the meet-up, we went straight to Erick’s place and this was the sight that welcomed us…
Larry (with his son Justin) was also there with his invention (nice one Larry!).
Then after a very yummy adobo lunch, Larry and son went home 🙁
But we got on with the goal for the day…the guys to shoot and for me to work it for the camera!!!!
It was one of those days that challenged me immensely. Bakit??? Kasi hindi naman ako model!!!!!! In my life, I will admit that I am a Trainer, a Singer or a Wife but I will never admit that I am a model–coz I’m definitely not—I”m not even very girly, I don’t like dressing up and putting make-up on. But since these guys are my friends and I know that this is a learning experience for all of us, I was game to do it. And as they say, once in a while do something different to spice up your life and so I did. This was a much-awaited project that made anxious, nervous and excited all week.
Ang hirap palang maging model!!!!! With all the stomach-in-chest-out-butt-out moments I had yesterday I have a sore body today (the kind of feeling when I had a badminton game). Starting today, when I look at celebrities and models in print ads or magazines, I’d appreciate them more. Modelling is not all about glamour, it’s about hard work too.
And speaking of hardwork, at the end of the day, it was all about good photography. Thinking of concepts, setting of cameras, positioning of flashes, diffusers and reflectors. Putting them all together requires effort, patience and precision in the hopes to get it all right, in the hopes of getting a good photograph. We had a couple of bloopers but we had more fun because we made it fun 🙂 Teamwork and sense of humour at its best.
Unforgettable dialogues:
(1) Jon saying “Ivy, mag-pose ka nang maganda” (dahil naubusan na sya nang masu-suggest na pose, kaya nasabi nya ang napaka-vague na phrase na “mag-pose ka nang maganda”)
(2) Erick saying “O jump shot naman” and I was shocked at the request because I was wearing an evening dress…as in “jump shot? naka-dress ako???” Pero ginawa ko naman (uto-uto hehehe).
To Erick and Jon, thank you for taking care of me yesterday. It was fun working with both of you. It was an awesome experience. 🙂
