Life, on-line for me now is mostly for work and school. So, boring one may say. That is why I keep running back to blogging. To have this place in the world wide web to pour in my thoughts and share my photos is a bliss. Sometimes I wish people would read, most of the time I treat is as my hiding place. Writing used to make me so happy! It still does! I hope it does continue to make me giddy and smiling and jumping with joy!

There are a lot of sad things and events in the world today so focusing on nature and family and friends is a must to keep one sane! to keep going we all need a ray of sunshine, the smell of leaves and flowers and even rain! 

Today the hubby and I caught the sunrise at our fave spot and our second home. It is the first time we were there at the golden start of day and you can imagine my glee when we spotted the sun all aglow up there! The view was made serene by the chirping of birds and the surrounding clouds and the deserted road. Surely we will find time to catch the next one come Sunday! So yay for the weekend!

I wish all families well in all the world. 😍 

She's Back!

 Dear Friends,

She is back! Where'd she come from? Well, long story but to cut it short she has finally found herself. Yep, she lost it- herself like four years ago. Today as the thunders kept rolling and the skies broke into happy tears kissing green leaves leaving brown dry ones to yesterday she met her old self. She felt glee! And she smiled, laughed even. She's learned that life will always be tough and negativity will always be lurking yet in the end, we are our own bestfriends. So she is making a promise to be good to Zen, to forgive her as often as she could just as she would others. For what is there not to be happy about? Life is short! These days it has even become shorter! So onwards to writing about the mystery that LOVE is; beauty that CARING is and HUMILITY that makes sense of everything....

A Short Interview With Myself

So how's everything?

~Well, sigh...lately I seem to be losing zest for everything save for sleeping and playing with my smartphone.

Still Busy As Busy Can Be

Well, as of this moment my hands are still full of paperwork and plans to make for an institution. It most certainly is not easy but I keep praying and just doing my best. People come and go here and service to human kind is what we must deliver with excellence. So please forgive my silence for sometime. You are not forgotten, this woman is just TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED. 

Life As It Is: Sunset Watch and Musings

For most days of the week I am loaded with problems. Don't worry, the problems aren't personal but work-related. Hmmm on second thought they are heavy nonetheless yet not personal I have to stress and that makes the huge difference.

So, sigh here I am on a Friday afternoon ready to blurt out TGIF!!!!!!!!!

I am looking forward to the weekend when I can spend time with my family. I will absolutely laugh, eat and sleep to my heart's content.

Why? Why not? All work and no play makes Kulasa a dull, a very dull girl.

Yesterday was awesome! I was able to finally watch the sunset again!

water caressing my feet

beautiful, beloved sunset taken with my smartphone

listening to the waves calmed my spirit...I could keep playing this...over and over

someone in the family enjoyed the sunset just as much as I did- my nephew Zach!

and yep there were lovers along the shore watching the end of the day

I still claim to be busy as busy can be. I am adjusting day by day to this new work designation of mine and everyday is another challenge but with daily prayers....I think I can call this MY CALLING....SOON....

Thank You Lord

Dropping by the church today after work

As of late...

I've been given a huge responsibility at work and by huge I meant HUGE like HUGE, HUGE!

I am taking each day one at a time and praying along the way that I may not lose my usual me- simple, caring and sincere. Hmmm now can I describe myself as humble?

The other day I was febrile with cough and colds and chills. Thank God I am well now. 

Lord, please touch my heart each day in such a way that I will always remember that you died on the cross to save us from our sins and that I could find you in the meekest being I meet. May I say no to material wealth and embrace heavenly treasure instead. This I pray in Jesus' name. Amen.

I Love Sleeping!

Well, who doesn't love lying down in bed without any cares and just snoring the night away? Working in a hospital where I am mostly sleep deprived makes me a pillow and blanket lover. In fact I can sleep in any position- sitting, standing or even crawling LOL. But when I am stressed out like really stressed out I find it difficult to doze off. On times like that I do the drill- counting sheep as well as drinking warm milk and treating myself to lotsa hugs from the hubby. We count our blessings one by one not missing out a thing and say a prayer of thanks to the Almighty- then sleep magically comes! Hmmm of course there is a drill I am not allowed to discuss here LOL. So the next time insomnia attacks you might wanna grab a partner to count sheep with LOL. 

On that note I go to dreamland tonight with a smile on my face for being too blessed to be stressed.

Thank you Lord!

Four-Eyed Me

I never really thought I'd be forced to wear eyeglasses soon. Yet poor vision I have come to accept comes with age. Oh well who is aged? Definitely not me- in feelings that is LOL. So, here I am proudly flaunting my age and accepting the fact that through the years real beauty is measured by the amount of love and care we share to the rest of humanity.

As Of Late, An Update On My Busy Life

Well in case you didn't notice I kinda shyed away from FB for the past week. It's because I have a tendency to over stay online and neglect to study. I dropped one subject from law school to have more time to spend with the kids and so as not to compromise my job too. It's tough going to school again aside from "mommying," "healing" and playing the good wifey role LOL. The hubby is my classmate in all subjects so I get to spend more time with him these days. A bonus is that I get free rides to school LOL. It is about time I start driving I know! Sigh, I guess that will have to wait until January. So far, so good in all aspects of this crazy life and I thank all of thee for being my friend in every sense of the word. I apologize for my unavailability these days and the coming months but please know it in your heart that when worst comes to worst you can always count on me. I still say "life is too blessed to be stressed" and that it is "never too late to follow your dreams" so....

KEEP DREAMING AND WORKING FOR THAT DREAM TO COME TRUE! 

☺☺☺☺

Birthday Cupcake from Brownies Unlimited

 This year for some reason I didn't buy myself one of those huge birthday cakes. Maybe it's a silent protest against time for allowing me to get older LOL! Well, I think I was saving the major candle blowing event for my 40th! I am grateful to our Creator for giving me a wonderful family and set of friends who love and accept me for all that I am. The hubby bought me a cutie cupcake insisting I should give myself a sweet treat afterall.

The blue thing came from BROWNIES UNLIMITED and was of course delightfully choco flavored.

I made a wish, prayed for everyone and then...

imagined it had a candle, blew carefully and ate it! Ate the icing, ate the filling, ate it all in less than a minute!

I guess am making my birthday cupcake eating a tradition to celebrate my yearly transformation to a better person (keeping my fingers crossed on that note).

Have a sweet day one and all!
