Great Materials for Home and Office

I find myself thinking about a lot of things lately. I know what I need is a diversion to keep these thoughts at bay and maybe they will just go away. But what? Hmm, how about redecorating this room I’m living in now? Not much can be done about this room anymore. It’s just too bad because I found a site that provides an extensive array of products that can be used for home improvement. Logo mats are great stuffs for changing the look of a certain area, right? So, maybe it will make this room look better.

Stores, offices, and other establishments will find this very useful as well. If they have exhibits or trade shows coming up, they will find the trade show carpet very beneficial for giving their booth a cosy ambiance. Attractive materials are used in the trade show flooring and trade show carpet so, they will definitely add pizzazz to the place. And if the exhibit is located outside the building, the logo canopy will surely come in handy as well. A variety of styles and designs are available for people who need high-end materials for professional use and even for people, like me, who are looking for materials to be used in minor room improvements.

True Friendship Beyond Distance

One of my best friends left for abroad today. I won’t be seeing him for two years. I know some think that it’s not really too long but, I just can’t help feeling lost somehow. Ever since I came here in Manila, he’s been one of the people who’ve been like a constant companion. He's always there to listen to my woes and just about everything. He's very comfortable to be with because I could talk about almost anything with him. Last year was so much fun because we used to go to church together with our other closest friends Mandy and Jeni. And now, he’s gone away. It feels like I’ve lost a friend again. But I know that true friendship never ends even when two people don’t see each other for some time. He’s like my little brother though he’s really so much bigger than me. He’s one of the nicest and gentlest guys I know, a true friend who won’t let you down. I hope you’ll be okay there Bunso. Be happy!

Poetry: An Hour in Coffee Bean

An Hour in Coffee Bean


I gave you so many chances to explain
About all the promises you made in vain;
Though I may look like a fool in this place
It doesn’t matter if in the end I’ll have peace

But the clock is ticking, and time is passing
By now I should realize you’re never coming,
Still, I’ll wait ‘til the very last minute,
I’ll give you the chance though you don’t deserve it.

Half an hour to go and that is all
This is the time whether we stand or we fall;
I’m trying to be positive about everything
But like a flood, anger and resentment again are starting.

Now the time is almost through
And it’s proving that nothing you ever said was true.
If anything were true and real
You’d be here and all wounds would heal.

I stare through this huge glass
Watching absently as people pass,
Hoping to see a familiar face break through the crowd,
But that’s just wishful thinking on a cloud.

Just in the nick of time you came
But it all ended up the same.
The questions were still left unanswered;
Maybe I shouldn't have even bothered.


We can never bring back what used to be
Even the friendship between you and me;
Maybe in time I can really forgive, and finally forget;
Until then, I hope our paths never meet.

After All This Time

I saw you again. I was shocked to see you there last Saturday. I wasn't really expecting it, or you. Maybe if we hadn't turned back to the front door I wouldn't have seen you, or you me. It was you who saw me first. I wasn't really minding the people walking by, but suddenly there was a tap on my arm, and when I looked it was you. After nine months of silence and just wondering what happened and why everything turned out the way they did, I saw you. I didn't know what to think, what to do. When you looked at me it was like you were so glad to see me, but then when I looked at you I couldn't help the feeling of resentment over the unexplained things that came flooding back. But I fought it and I tried to act normal. I guess I didn't smile when I saw you because suddenly the smile was wiped off your face as well. But you came with us anyway. I acted nonchalantly the way you did. Call me pretender but that's really what I did. I pretended to be civil, to be polite, to be friendly despite the resentment I was feeling. I kept thinking to myself, "why am I even talking to you?" but I couldn't help myself. I guess I was giving you the chance to explain, but you didn't. Until we parted ways.

I texted you that night, asking how you were. I sent you a message that we needed to talk about the unresolved things, but you never replied. Finally, it really made me think that there was nothing I could do about it anymore if you didn't want to talk to me. But through someone's advice I gave you another chance. I texted you again that if you wanted to talk I will wait for you at this specific time and place. I guess it was hoping for too much to expect any reply. But though there wasn't any reply, I went there and waited. I gave one whole hour. I sat there, sipping my coffee and thinking how stupid I could be waiting for nothing. But I waited. One hour. But the minutes passed, and still nothing. To pass the time I tried to write a poem about that hour. I looked at my watch again, 5 minutes to 5. Then I received a text from you. You came. If the hour went by without hearing anything from you, it would have been goodbye forever, without resolution, without healing all the hurt. So, we talked, or rather I talked...all the resentment, all my hurt. You just stood there with the somber look on your face. I asked why you did what you did, but I wasn't satisfied with your reasons. But I just let it go. It's just time for me to stop hurting, to stop blaming myself because you know in your heart it wasn't me but rather your deceitful heart. After all this time I'm finally letting all my hurt go...I'm letting you go.

Sunsets

Did I ever mention here that I love to watch sunsets? It's true. If you make me choose between sunrise and sunset, I'd always go for sunset. I don't know why, but the sunset has more appeal to me than the sunrise. When I was still living at home I could watch beautiful sunsets that sometimes I tend to take them for granted. But when I got here in Manila, I rarely have the chance to watch the sun go down. When I go out of the office it's always dark already.

I was able to experience the sunset again when we went walking along Baywalk a few weeks ago. It was fun. Although the sunset could have been better if the sky wasn't overcast with clouds.

Here are some of the pictures I got with my camera.

Poem: Over and Done

An Answered Prayer

This day has been great! I feel so blessed! Once again I was given proof that God answers prayers. Lately I've been thinking of a way on how I can serve him in my own little way as a sign of my gratitude for all the goodness He continues to bestow in my life, and I prayed that He lead me to the path He wants me to take. I've made a post previously about my joining the Sign Language Seminar, and now I really believe that God led me to it.

Just this afternoon, after our class, our teacher Lychel requested me to stay behind, so I did. I was curious why because even though I always attend the class I've never really spoken that much to them,. But all of the people in the class are very friendly and nice. Anyway, we talked and I was really surprised when she asked me if I'd be willing to be a part of the core group for the Deaf Ministry. I immediately said yes! It was an answer to my prayer. I feel like I've found my place in God's vineyard and I feel so blessed to be given the chance to serve in this way. I really just can't contain my joy that's why I am writing about it here. Next Saturday I'll be sitting with them in front. I'm looking forward to it a lot. I just really hope I can do my part diligently as we reach out more into the silent world.
