Praise Adonai

Today’s sing along song: Adonai by Paul Wilbur

(Sorry the video comes in Spanish..anyway, it’s a sing along so…just sing with the lyrics! )

Lord of eternity
The mystery behind the veil
Lord over Heaven and earth
God of Israel

Come with Your wisdom and power
Clothed in Your honor and strength
Lord hear the cry of our hearts
Come O conquering King

And every eye will see
Your glory fill the sky

Adonai Adonai
Every knee will to You Lord Most High
Adonai Adonai
You alone are God every tongue will cry
Adonai

Here Jerusalem waits
Praises lifted on high
Here the beautiful gates
Long to see You arise

When all of Zion sings
Baruch ha ba b’shem

You are the Lord over all the earth
You are the Lord over all the earth

Let everything that has breath praise the Lord!” Psalm 150:6

Blessed Be Your Name

Today’s sing along song: Blessed Be Your Name by Matt Redman

“Let them praise the name of the Lord, for his name alone is exalted; his splendor is above the earth and the heavens.” Psalm 148:13

Slumbook: Many To Mention

People are unique. Every single person in this human race has certain things that they can claim as theirs. Exclusively.

Now, I may think that I am as ordinary as the next person sitting beside you right now (or snoring, or eating or whatever), but I have some traits about me that is definitely mine.

How about getting to know me better, huh? When I was a kid, I used to love signing those slumbooks/autographs. The matron of the house ordered a full house cleaning starting today so that meant, old junks surfing out. Like that old slumbook of mine..”Friends: many to mention; Color: many to mention; food: many to mention”..hahaha. Motto: To see is to believe (an alternate to “time is gold..hehehe).

You see, even as a kid, I loved talking about myself. Now, if you haven’t noticed, my blog is an adult version of my old slumbook. Different medium, different answers but nevertheless, this blog is abot me. All me.

Get a coffee (if you must), sit back and let’s get acquainted..okay? (uhmm..9 months delayed..hahaha). Here goes:

1) I seldom get bored. I do not mind sitting in a bus, stuck in a bumper-to-bumper traffic. My mind is always drifting to someplace far (far as in places I haven’t been to) or someone not me (me as in daydreaming I’m kate Hudson). There’s a name to this wayward thinking but I don’t exactly know what it is..if you found out, you tell me alright?

2) I don’t like bananas. And raisins. Or prunes.

3) But I like mangoes. HOWEVER..if you put unsliced mango on the table, I’ll probably not eat it because I don’t like the way its smell stays in my hand long after I’ve washed and scrubbed my hands…better to smell clean than get hungry..

4) A few years ago, I borrowed a pair of earrings from my mom. I lost the other one. And because I know it was my dad’s gift to her, I pretended I’ve already returned the earrings to her. She’s very forgetful that she thinks I really had returned it to her and just misplaced it. I know I’m wicked and I’m struck by a guilty conscience whenever I think about it..aww..I’ll get her a new one..promise. Then I’ll return the other earring that is still with me. It’s still there in my closet.

5) I’m a frustrated someone. Nurse, singer, dancer, advertising executive, actress, ADB honcho…What is split personality?

…and last…

…it’s not easy to think 5 unique things about me. Not easy at all. Try it. It’s your turn.

Today’s sing along song: Tell Me by Diddy  

Vlog

Found this youtube site: Happyslip. And then I realized I must be the last on the blogging/vlogging planet who knows about her and her crazy site. I’m all for craziness so I thought you might want to see this, too

It’s always good to see people who can make fun of themselves without actually demoralizing their values..very nice vlog. Go and see for yourself.. 

The Thing He Had to Remember

So far, the hardest part for me about this marriage thing is being separated from my bed. Each night for years now, I would lie down on my single bed, kick covers all throughout the night without anybody tugging it away from me, sleep with all the lights on (I’m not afraid of the dark okay? I usually read before sleeping but I end up sleeping WHILE reading hehe) and hug all the pillows that I want.

For three weekends now, I’ve been sleeping over at J’s parents house. We had this pre-nup agreement that we won’t be living together yet until the bigger wedding is through. We would like to consider that as our real wedding and not the super-rush-quiet ceremony we had last January 25. Well, anyway, pre-nup or none, he wants me over there every weekend and he stays at our house at least twice a week. This had become our unspoken arrangement. It would be such a waste to buy or rent a house when we would be moving abroad in a few months anyway.

For three weekends now, I woke up in a strange bed, tugged covers at the middle of the night, kicked J’s shin and worse, slept in the dark!

And this afternoon, I realized how much I’ve grown attached to my bed. I had an attack of dysmenorrhea this afternoon–the worst of its kind–complete with vomitting and muscle pains. And since today is a Sunday, I was over at J’s parents house. I rolled on the bed, wishing, wishing, wishing, I was in my room with all the shades down. Nobody there knew how painful it is for me each month and nobody had an idea how I suffer during these times. J insisted I eat lunch. My mom-in-law doesn’t believe in skipping meals. And me? I NEVER eat when I have dysmenorrhea. It only gets more painful. He told me to eat a little then take two serpentina or something (an herb in tablet form)–his sisters take this thing he said. I was a dutiful wife– I ate, took two suspicious-looking serpentinas and……poooof! My world went upside down. Literally.

Two minutes after taking the herbs, I was practically crawling to the toilet to throw up. No it wasn’t because of the herbs. Well, maybe that but more likely because J forced me to eat. 

Fortunately, J finally had thought to buy me some Advil. An hour later, the pain was gone and everybody saw me happily eating all the palitaw on the the table.

J has a lot to learn..that makes the two of us now.
