dear God,
being an ungrateful employee that i am, one who's always complaining how some projects get so complicated when it should've been designed simpler, i just find myself unworthy of all the material blessing you pour down on me right now. being able to experience working in the US and being able to save ample amount of money, i felt i've been more focused in my work and ambitions instead of doing what truly pleases you... all i can say is i'm sorry, please forgive me and lead me to follow what your will is for my life.
love,
edwin

a day at gelncoe beach (or lake rather)
we went for a swim last sunday afternoon at a manmade beach along michigan lake. 'twas a nice day, lots of sunshine. what i loved most about the place is that since it's a lake, the water didn't taste salty =)

a new post... (finally!)
free time yey! i decided to blog while waiting for my laundry to finish.
we're spending our first night at our new apartment and there's no internet connection for now and so out of boredom, i decided to update my blog offline and have it posted tomorrow.
wow! it's been ages since i posted something here... for everyone's information i've been just a little bit busy with my personal and professional life. to summarize this chapter of my life, i'll have it listed down in bullets:
* got married at 31 on january 26 this year and 'twas also our 3rd year anniversary that day.
* we had our honeymoon @ bohol
* i left headstrong and moved to rcg.
* my wife donna got pregnant but unfortunately, it wasn't meant to be
* i got an on shore assignment here in chicago IL
* moved to a new apartment for the third time and hopefully it's final
i had some of realizations during my engagement with donna. i realized that getting married is not just something you do, it something that you really have to plan for and execute as scheduled. not to mention you have to be concious of the budget set for the wedding. it was a test of patience and determination as well. a lot of times you'll be faced to come up with decisions regarding every minor detail of the wedding and you'll really find yourself stressed out in the end.
ok, nose bleed nako sa english break muna...
masarap na mahirap pag nasa abroad ka. masarap kasi madali kumita ng pera, mahirap kasi malayo ka sa asawa, pamilya, at mga kaibigan.
with regards to work, i'm learning a lot of new stuffs: struts2, spring, maven2, web services, and portlets. i'm lovin' opensource!
time to vent, bakit ang ibang tao masyadong determinadong yumaman at masyadong materialistic? di ko alam, pero ako ayoko ng ganung ugali tsk tsk... we need to be grateful and content of what God has blessed us with.
antok nako, tapos na yung nilalabhan ko... good night folks and God bless!
p.s.
pics to follow... =)

a bad dream 8.7.2007-06:16am
i just woke up from a bad dream. i found out that my fiance was seeing someone and was unfaithful to me. the dream was so real that i woke up so angry and i wanted to burst out in tears. the feeling was horrible, painful like you want to gouge your heart out just to get rid of the pain. i'll try to recall the details and write down what happened, here it goes... we just finished having lunch with my twin brother erwin when donna and i had an argument about something. we were quarelling out loud until i got mad and walked out of the house. i was outside for like 30 minutes and then i got back to the house. my fiance wasn't there, only my twin brother waited for me. he talked to me and said that i should have listened to what my fiance was saying to me earlier and that sometimes i should be humble to listen to her suggestions. i realized that i was wrong and i wanted to apologize to my fiance immediately. she wasn't inside the house when i looked for her so i went outside eager to apologize only to find out that she was making out with her cousin just near our house. i was shocked for a moment, i just couldn't believe what i saw in front of me. i suddenly felt like cold water was poured down my whole body. and then questions rushed in my mind WHY??? WHY IS THIS HAPPENING??? WHAT ARE YOU DOING??? and then it came out and i shouted the words. then my fiance's cousin ran, and i chased him. i was so angry i wanted to beat him up. he was getting farther so i shouted that he's a wimp and a sissy. he got provoked and ran back towards me. we fought, i got hurt, and then i woke up from my horrible dream. i felt sooooo bad and sooooo angry when i woke up and felt like crying at the same time. i still felt bad even though i realized that it was just a dream. i decided to write it down so i won't forget about the details and share it to my fiance. have to take a shower now and go to work.
a poem 8.12.2007
right now i want you to know
you are deeply cared for
at times we're silent
you know i won't forget
when it's hard to keep in touch
and quality times aren't much
i know you'd understand
our love would forever stand
if an apology is needed,
a need for us to be bonded
wrote a poem for our love's sake
i'm sorry for my mistakes

it's worth the wait
A Time for Everything
1 There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven:
2 a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
3 a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
6 a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
7 a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
8 a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.
-Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
~*~*~*~
a status report that was applauded
a very long vacation ahead
a super special person in my life
as of the moment, i couldn't ask for more...
thank you God! :x

words to guide me...
An accurate understanding of the word covet is essential for this study. The Hebrew word is desire, which is not sin in itself; the key distinction is that when something owned by someone else is what I want, desiring becomes coveting or envying.
Do not envy others - it only leads to harm.
-Psalm 37: 8 (NLT)
Envy Leads to Other Sins
For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice.
-James 3: 16
It is well known today that when our minds are stressed less and more relaxed, it has positive physical health benefits. Envy creates stress and strain that not only eats away at our mental and physical health, but also at our spiritual health as well.
A relaxed attitude lengthens life; jealousy rots it away.
-Proverbs 14: 30 (NLT)
How can i overcome it?
Don't Compare
Do your own work well, and then you will have something to be proud of. But don't compare yourself with others.
-Galatians 6: 4 (Contemporary English)
Stop Complaining
God says: How much longer are these wicked people going to complain against me? I have heard enough of these complaints!
-Numbers 14:27 (TEV)
Learn to be Content
Enjoy what you have, rather than desiring what you don't have. Just dreaming about nice things is meaningless; it's like chasing the wind.
-Ecclesiastes 6:9 (NLT)
Focus on Pleasing God
Keep your minds fixed on things above, not on things here on earth.
-Colossians 3:2 (TEV)
Do not envy others - it only leads to harm.
-Psalm 37: 8 (NLT)

For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice.

dani's monster and zach's scare stints
spent last saturday night celebrating my sis' birthday with my family at manila. dani and zach were there, they have a bag of tricks with them like dani's monster and zach's scare. can't help but wonder what my baby would look like and what tricks he/she has instore for us *sigh*. i also bought a gallon of strawberry icecream with me that night.
the following day, me, my twin brother, his wife and zach left for our sunday service early in the morning. went to beni and neah's house, had our lunch there and spent some time with the married couples and their kids after the service. afterwards, we went to market market with wacks, his wife tina and his baby LJ (babies again!?!?! hehehe). anyways, my brother wanted to have a haircut so i accompanied him while the other folks went home already. we got to glorietta, played virtua racer and slam n jam before watching Jim Carrey's movie-Number 23. A movie packed with suspense and mystery. had a busy weekend and had a blast, but still at the end of the day, i went on my way home alone again doing my best to brush away the thought of missing someone... i guess i'll just see you in my dreams again. for now, goodnight to you my beloved *kisses*
