PREOCCUPIED WEEKS

Hi Blog! How was everything going? I just want to update you how I am doing, since I haven't been writing here for the past few days (kidding! I actually wrote about something several days ago, I just don't feel posting it, as usual).

Just an update. My Ate just arrived 2 weeks ago from Jeddah (she'll be staying here for a good month and a half) and my Kuya arrived last Saturday with her wife, Ate Maeh, from Malaysia (too bad he'll only be staying here for a week para ihatid si Ate Maeh para dito siya manganak). So yeah, everything's going out very well. I have a complete family in flesh for a week! Praise God for that :D


Since the whole family is in Manila now, I plan to spend every single time as possible with them. But here's the downer, I have a really tight schedule for the next 2 weeks of my life. 



Family, Work, Church, Retreat, Dgroup, etc. Don't get me wrong. I am really grateful with all the opportunities that God is sending me right now. I just hope that they came one at a time. But no complains, God! I love how preoccupied I am compared to the last few months that I was just a useless bum creature. I wished I finished or learned something new that time but I did not.


So let me share you how blessed I am to have a tight schedule right now. Again, no sarcasm intended! I listed my schedule on outlook and took a picture of it on my phone. Judge me for being too lazy but I won't take a screenshot from my laptop and open my photoshop (It would only cost me a lot of time and effort).





What day is it today?... Oh Monday! Monday, that means 5 days to go before our retreat. 5 days. That means I have to finish everything in work before the weekend. But here I am, choosing to procrastinate by sharing you my lame thoughts about my plans. 


As you can see, I did not put anything for my Monday schedule because basically, I planned to do nothing today. Charot! I actually forgot to put "Finish your Bryan White LED Loop project, you dumblazybtch" but I intentionally refuse to remember it. I don't want to be harsh on myself and baka masyado nang  OA pag super occupied na yung week ko.haha! But seriously, I plan to work everything out for Midas and Concert Republic before the weekend. As you can see, right after retreat, I have to deal with Bryan White's show the next day. 



Tuesday. 
I have plans to watch the Mockingjay part 2 with RM and Nicole. It was actually scheduled last Saturday or Sunday but RM has work. So they've decided to move it tomorrow. Ugh! This is the only downside part of having a home based work. You have to wait for your friends' off for you to have a social life. Boo! Resign na kayo guys, nakakasira ng barkadahan ang trabaho!  We planned to catch the last fullshow, hopefully hindi mag OT si Nicole para matuloy ang inaasam na social life ko! PS: I will probably be working in the morning, so don't worry too much about my deadlines. I'm an achiever when it comes to cramming.





Wednesday. 
I was hoping to meet Daniel anytime this weekday so he can hand me over the CDs we gave away on Midas social media but he said he's on out of the country trip and will be back by the end of the week last week but I haven't heard from him yet. Hopefully, I can meet him on Wednesday. My brother also told us to have our family bonding at Tagaytay on Wednesday until Thursday. He plans to stay at Taal Vista Hotel (I guess). So I I'm super looking forward for Wednesday more than anything else. 


Thursday
I plan to loosen up, enjoy and have fun with my family to prepare myself for the upcoming events. 


Friday
Rest day (hopefully). But if I happen to meet Daniel before this day, I probably be meeting the winners of our CD giveaway to hand over their prizes and buy things I needed for the retreat. Make sure to all works are delivered to  Sir Mel. Also a deep time for God to ask for his guidance and provisions for all the leaders and participant of the retreat.


Saturday
We've been preparing for this since the last few months. It's our church's Singles' ministry first ever retreat. Our church satellite, CCF Imus, is hosting the retreat and I am very privilege to be part of the event as I mentioned on my previous post. I was part of the Marketeam (we basically create some stuffs to promote the retreat) and also honored to be a break out group leader. And in addition to that, I was also asked by Ate Lynn to be a photographer during the event. I couldn't say no beside the fact that I am not really into photography (I only ask Daddy to buy me slr camera back in college for my photography class. Thought photography was super cool for a girl, but it's never meant for me so I only used it very very seldom) but because I feel like it's also a calling. I mean, who would refuse to serve for God? Maybe some, pero graduate na ko sa mga refusals of service for God! I am also thinking that it would be a real toxic job since I will be facilitating my group then I need to take pictures whenever I'm free and possible. Whatever. Anything for God! I also want to test myself how far I could go during the retreat. I am up for the challenge! Philippians 4:13 :)




Sunday
Just like on Thursday, I'm planning to enjoy, be a blessing and be blessed on this day. Too bad I will miss my brother since it will also be the day that he's flying back to Malaysia. I'm going to see him again on March because we're all expecting to see my first pamangkin on that month. Yippie!! It's also the day that we will be announcing our meet & greet winners for Bryan White's show and hope that I have the best reception of internet that night. I'll just do a scheduled post on Friday just to be sure.


Monday
Last day of retreat. There will be a baptism on the afternoon. Baptism actually came across my mind these past several weeks (although I actually got baptized last May of 2012). I'm still praying if God would like me to be baptized again. The program is planed until lunch time and we will be expecting to be back on our own respective churches by 3 in the afternoon as far as I remember. Got no time to waste, I have to message all the winners for the meet & greet. Fix everything for tomorrows next big event. 


Tuesday
Bryan White first ever show in Manila. Since his single "God Gave Me You" hits Manila fans because of the Aldub craze, I am truly blessed that Sir Mel was the promoter of the show. I'm a legit Yaya Dub fan! I was given the chance to create all the collaterals and social medias for the promotions. I am looking forward the most to meet Yaya Dub! Hopefully she'll watch the concert since I missed her on our Lifehouse's show. I am in charge of the meet and greet on the show. After that, I can just do whatever I want. Do you have an idea what I plan to do after that?hahaha! (Fangirl alert! Fan girl alert!). 

Isn't Sir Mel the best in the world, right? Hell yeah! I actually told him last week about the retreat I'm about to attend and he's totally okay with that. He was actually the one who adjusted to my schedule and made sure everything is done before I leave. To think na I will be gone days before our big event where everyone is expected to be busy. Who's boss would be like that diba? Here's a cup of coffee for you, Sir Mel!






Wednesday
Rest day in the morning. GLC class at night.
it'll be the first class for our new sessions. I don't want to miss that.


Thursday
Favorite day of my week, Dgroup day! But probably not on this day. I am scheduled to facilitate for our dgroup. My topic will be Woman of Virtue. I honestly hate facilitating on our dgroup because of the fact that I hate talking. I am the worst person when it comes to talking to other people. I will never get used to it. I'm comfortable with my Ates, but I feel like I'm too young and I don't think I have something to share that will make them feel bless. Whatever! It's God who'll give the message naman eh, I'm just the deliverer. 




Friday
FREE DAY!!! Time to reflect and be thankful to God with the things happened to me the past few days.


Saturday
Dgroup day with my friends. Haven't prepared some materials for our next week's topic but hopefully I can find time on this. 


Sunday
Worship day!!! 



So there! That will be my schedule for the next days of my life! Praying that everything will go on smoothly by the grace of God. I just feel blessed with all the opportunity God has given me. With the work He has graciously given me, I could manage to balance my Family, Work and Spiritual walk (sometimes not). Not all people are blessed enough to be in my position. I am not worthy and never will be.

I CAN ONLY BRAG HOW GREAT MY GOD IS!


Will update you what happened on our family day, retreat and Bryan White's show on my next entries! Here's my favorite 1D member, Louise, for yah!






IN ALL THINGS,
GOD SHOULD ALWAYS BE GLORIFIED
