Almost everytime we asked a positive answers to all of our prayers. But this time we were praying for negative. Me, my sister and my 11 months old niece went to the clinic to get the medical result of my niece and very sad to know for what we were praying for a negative result the answer is positive. Oh poor niece, she is only a baby. She is too young to get sick. This month is not a good month for our family. We encountered many circumstances and bad situations. We know life is not always at good times. Sometimes, God is giving us trials to strengthen our faith, to make us better and strong. God doesn’t’ give trials we can’t overcome so it means in every problem there is always a solution. The doctor prescribed a medication for my niece. We are praying and hoping that God would bless the medicine she is going to take and that He would heal her very soon. Hear our prayers oh Lord.

In my high School days we had this intramurals activity – a student’s sports fest competition. I felt jealous seeing some athletes enjoying playing their sports. I loved ping ping sport but unfortunately I was not good at it. When the class was finished and its sports time practice, I just watched and cheer with the players especially the ping pong players. I liked to watch them coz I got some ping pong tips on how to play it. Who knows, maybe one day this tips I got would make me a better and famous ping pong player.

We can’t deny the fact that many Philippine nurses are trying to shape their future and luck in the other country rather than serving own country because of lack of employment opportunity and also because of the little compensation received compare the amount that can be earned abroad. It is so sad to know that many registered nurses are still jobless including me because of the limited job offer by the hospitals. Nurses also are increasing in number so the government can’t accommodate them all.

Me, my mom and sister love to watch the drama series on television every night so called Amaya. It is an educational epic drama series which shows our culture, talks about the ancient tribes. It reflects the lives and feelings of the time almost forgotten history, it once again raises and reminds our spirit. This is a story of a woman-Amaya who urges to change the life she grew with. Amaya was born as a princess but she was not a typical princess, because he was born with twin snake. A secret hidden by his father to have drawn her out of danger. Her father killed by an enemy and made Amaya their slave. Because of she’s affiliate having dual-snake it has been appointed by her destiny as savior of their towns against the cruel and powerful enemy. Every night the story is becoming so thrill & suspense. Just one thing I hate most in watching it is that there are more advertisements than the drama being played.  Obviously, the drama series has many followers and is earning much on the advertisements. And of course the Advertising Agency as well has earned for this drama series.  I understand this is how the advertising agencies got a business.

The drama series started not quiet long and sad to say that I won’t be able to finish it for I am leaving soon from my home country to work abroad. But still I will keep track on this drama series through internet. The story is so nice and is worth watching.

This is it! I am very busy preparing my stuff & things to bring on my travel to other country next month. I love to prepare weeks earlier to the time so that I will not be in rush and that I can enjoy the rest of my remaining days with family and friends without any stress. Oh, how I’m excited but at the same time a bit nervous & lonely. It will be two years again I need to live alone and just work. It’s fine for I know there would be the greener pasture for me and that God is with me. He will never leave me nor forsake me.  He is my greatest comfort in times of loneliness and greatest help in times of needs.

I’m always trying to experiment with my hair to come up with new ways to wear it. I get kind of bored with wearing my hair down all the time, so that’s why I try and come up with new kinds of updos. But so many people think that updos mean really stuffy, dressy hairdos that are only appropriate for prom and weddings. Well, I really want to share all of that with the world and am making an effort to share that with other people.

I thought that it would be fun to start my own blog and show off all of these hairstyles that I’ve come up with. While I was thinking about that a few days ago, I ran across the site http://www.domainnames.com and after I looked through that I decided to sign up for a domain name to use as my very own website!

I thought that one great way to start off my blog would be to do a how to on how to make this braided updo that I’ve been rocking a lot lately.

My brother’s hobby is snowboarding. Even we don’t have snow in our country but it becomes his habit to play with it. He learned and played with this kind of sport in an artificial snowboarding found in one of our biggest malls in our country. I am happy that he gets involved with sports to be away from any vices such as smoking, drinking, drugs and bad friends. I got so lucky for there was a snowboard goggles sale when I strolled in the mall. I bought one goggle and gifted my brother as a sign of my support to him. He got so surprise and so happy about it.

I am so glad and happy to know that the official separation of North and South Sudan was successful and peaceful. I was worried for there was a speculation that the ceremony will led to chaos. Thanks God it was so sound and peaceful. God bless the two new nations. Peace for everybody!
