Proverbs 8:18 With God are riches and honor, enduring wealth and prosperity.
**Merry Christmas and a hope-filled New Year, beautiful people. (:

Dear xxxxxx,

Steve Jobs said.. Chase your love. He was turned down but was still in love. However, in a relationship it won't work if the other person doesn't feel that love. It has to be parallel. You have to put your idealism in the trash.. First love or fifth, you have to learn to LET GO. If he walked away, LET HIM! Swallow your pride and accept that you can't get everything you want in this life specially when it involves somebody else's emotions. Hey, it's not a thing like you should just pass a written exam where you can work hard and get it.

You may be aching now. But you will make it through. And I swear you will love again. BE STRONG, will you, please? What's meant to be will end up good and what't not - won't. Love is worth fighting for but you can't be the only one fighting. At times, people need to fight for you. If they don't, you just have to move on and realize what you gave them was more than what they were willing to give you. Always fight until you should not anymore, and then, be fought for.

P.S.
You don't deserve him. Because you deserve a man who won't hurt you, that man God is preparing for you!

P.P.S.
I hope this message finds its way to you.

Sincerely looking forward
to be friends with you,
Jewel

Hi dear ones! Early morning as I type this. I miss blogging. And spending long hours writing entries and replying to your messages. Hindi ko pa magawa sa ngayon. I just would like you to know that all is well with me. Thank you for your unwavering love and support. (=

Please allow me to share this verse that I've been meditating on, from NIV life application study bible:

"Trust in the Lord with ALL YOUR HEART and lean not on your own understanding; in ALL your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths." Proverbs 3:5-6

Leaning has the sense of putting your whole weight on something, resting on and trusting in that person or thing. When we have an important decision to make, we sometimes feel that we can't trust anyone---not even God. But God knows what is best for us. He is a better judge of what we want than even we are! We must trust Him completely in every choice we make. Of course we should not omit careful thinking or belittle our own God-given ability to reason; but we should not trust our own ideas to the exclusion of all others. We must not be wise in our own eyes. We should always be willing to listen to and be corrected by God's Word and wise counselors. Bring your decisions to God in prayer; use the Bible as your guide; and then follow God's leading. He will make your paths straight by both guiding and protecting you.

Make HIM a vital part of everything you do; then He will guide you because you will be working to accomplish His purpose. ♥


It's easy to love ourselves when we seem successful at times. But JESUS wants us to love even that part of ourselves that makes mistakes and makes us feeling guilty or foolish. Remember, it's not about you, it's what God can do in your life. (Preaching myself)

Thank you to those who showed their willingness to grant my birthday wishes =)

In addition to the list........

12) I would really, really love a day-tour to Mt. Pinatubo with a rented Bell-ranger and me co-piloting it... weeee! =D Oh and 3 brave friends who will ride with me! Haha

13) A cook out... particularly one involving Jessica Lanojan =) Haha, kidding, momJh, only when you're free. No pressure!

14) A fun night out without me worrying about work the following day.

15) Really good headphones, with noise reductor.

16) But if I were to reward myself with one thing, it would be a new 15 inch Mac Pro. And since I doubt anyone will actually give me this for my birthday, I am giving you time until Christmas..hahaha! Kidding. I am going to buy me one come the New Year..gotta spare some money for this one.

17) And seriously now, A FAT BABY PANDA!! haha

18) Finally, I wish for God to keep blessing me with love and the wonderful people in my life.

An indulgent note.

Birthday Wishlist! :D

I don't really want much because most of the stuff I want I can buy for myself, and most of the stuff I want are more needs than wants. All I really want is good food, good company, and sincere notes from my friends =). But should you be willing to spend a bit of money and/or effort on me (ahem, Issha, hahaha), here are alternatives (without expecting that anyone will actually get me anything on my list).

1) Sakura, archival ink pen --.2 mm, in various colors. Archival ink is a type of ink which is designed to resist fading and weathering so that it will endure over time. I super need this since I love writing, and I want to use it in highlighting my bible, and other books that I meditate on, those I intend to make pamana to my future children. Hehe

2) Any organic and echo friendly stuff =). Including organic beauty products, my skin is sensitive kaya I can only use organic or mild/hypoallergenic ones.

3) A baby panda! :D

4) The whole set of "Kristine Series" pocketbooks by Martha Cecilia (I'm serious!)

5) Any object that has something to do with a) Flying, b) Music, c) Christianity

6) A baby panda! :D

7) Mix CDs! Playlists made specially for me, with cute stickers and writing all over.

8) A compilation of my pictures since I joined showbiz, wala ako nito e, haha! Except sa gift ni ate Jessica/Jewelerz a couple of years ago ;)

9) DVD's of old Tagalog films. Like "Lucia", "Tinimbang ka ngunit kulang" , "Salome", etc. =)

10) A baby panda!! They're cute!!

11) Paper tole kits, please!! :D I'll show you some of my works in the future.

I'm getting sleepy, maybe I'll add more to my list tomorrow.... =) zzZzzz
