Greetings everyone! I know it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s been awhile\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6like three months since my last blog! I can go on about the extremely busy sched, but it has been more a writer\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s block than anything else. I would start and never finish. Frustrating to say the least.<\/p>\n
It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s amazing to think that it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s like April. That means I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been gone for almost ten months. TEN MONTHS\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 I never even thought I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d last till November. There were doubts on whether I would last a month. It feels surreal to look back on that.<\/p>\n
What\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s new with me? Well\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 I moved into a new flat about a month ago. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s in Wandsworth, which is only about 25 minutes away from work, depending on the traffic. The opportunity to move was a little unexpected, fast and somewhat fun. I am, yet again living with three boys. Brent, Nicholas and Eke. Brent and I met through a mutual friend Ashe, and are in the same rockin\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 Kids Church Team. Nick and Eke I met the day we moved in. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s been fun. The place is really nice. Especially compared to my dark and dreary room at Maida Vale! The fact that I can use the kitchen and use the bathroom is a definite plus. The flatmates, well, they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re pretty cool. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been somewhat fortunate.<\/p>\n
The last couple of months have sped by in a blur. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d love to be all profound at this point\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6but it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s just not coming! =)<\/p>\n
The whole theme, well seemingly anyway\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6of this trip has been stepping out of one\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s comfort zones, and that I have certainly started doing. I find myself doing things I never imagined I would. Slowly, my confidence is building. (I do have my fleeting moments in that department \u00e2\u20ac\u201c but it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a progression thing)<\/p>\n
Funnily enough the series Gary is doing at the moment is about Confidence. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s where you put your confidence that matters. That it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s easy to put our confidence in what we do, to draw our strengths from our accomplishments, but it also means that it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s easily knocked down. However if it is sourced from God, it positions you to do life from who we are in him, and not from what we do. Hmm!<\/p>\n
Valentines passed as normal\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6like any other day. Enough said! But it was all good. I got a few messages, couple of e-mails, and even a card. Thank you Ate Meanne! =) Easter weekend was jam packed from Thursday to Monday.<\/p>\n
I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve managed to see Windsor and Oxford in the last couple of months with friends and it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s been great to have actually seen things outside London. Plans for Paris and Denmark are in the works. Budget willing of course!<\/p>\n
In October my cousin Ate Alicia is getting married, so I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be heading on over to New Jersey for a couple of weeks. Can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t wait.<\/p>\n
This weekend we have Extravagant Worship @ the Hammersmith Apollo. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s going to be a great conference weekend. There\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s like 3500 people attending the conference. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s going to be awesome.<\/p>\n
Vipo has informed me that Ilagan # 6 is going to be a girl. Congratulations to Papa Smurf and Cris. Can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t wait to meet her.<\/p>\n
Hopefully my friends Mer and Win follow suit \u00e2\u20ac\u00a6. *aherm* Come on guys. I need playmates when I return.<\/p>\n
Welcome to the family Dylan Francisco. Sorry your Ninang isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t around for the next year, but I promise to make it up to you when I get home. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m still waiting for your picture. You think with all the technology your Tita Annie would get her butt moving with providing me with your photos\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6that was a dig Annie! Hehe!<\/p>\n
Speaking of modern technology and people not using them. Kuya Ferdie and Kuya Allan, photos of my inaanaks please! I keep hearing about how much they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve grown and no pictures to prove it. Please send some!!!<\/p>\n
I think that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s pretty much it. A2J seems like it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s having a busy but an awesome year so far. That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s sooo cool.<\/p>\n
Anways\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 I better go. Try and get some work done. Will write more later. Well, I am trying. Hope all is well with all. Miss you much.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
