This is what he said to me over ym today. He is from Kenya and now lives in Perth, Australia.

[15:26] billy kipruto: hope u r well.still migrating to Oz in 2011?
[15:27] cheyennekyla: am praying for it.
billy kipruto: great to hear God spoils you with choices
[15:29] billy kipruto: I know u will be well wherever u r bse u r a child of a King

I cannot thank the Lord enough for the enormous gift . The gift of choices.

of INSPIRATION would have been FACEBOOK.
But to some, it is a source of SPECULATION, GOSSIP, JUDGEMENT, and worse ENVY.

A husband and wife could break their relationship over FB, same with lovers.

An emotion can build up over it, sadly negative emo, depending which one you pick up.

A clean conscience can get rusty.

I will be saying goodbye to FB soon, not shutting down my account though but limit my squandering in the network. I would want a healthier choice– like watching KIMORA: Life in the Fab Lane! Can’t stop but somehow compared it to Kimmy Dora’s lifestyle!

My sister and I can’t stop laughing.

Kaya, LOL!!!! bwahhahaha…

On this note however, FB has helped me recognize who among my friends I could run to —mainly because I felt they needed someone to talk to and enjoy with or just spend the day with . Stream of emotions over there. Both good and bad.

I therefore conclude that social networking such as FB is IN!

My latest profile pic– i like….am inspired to get married again. saan kaya? nyahahahhaha!!!

Random posts/thoughts

I have been busy lately –allow me to post randomly ( as usual)
1. My parents and mom in law are in Singapore for a short visit, yay!!!
Singapore Zoo- Universal - Sentosa - Flyer- Bird Park- Lucky Plaza maybe Chinese Garden?…On their 4th day and I don’t think they are tired. I am so happy, my floors and sink are well maintained! Gee…it’s a bonus..really!

2. The badminton part 1. It is very nice to know that such team grow both hubbies and wifies play while kids running around free. And it develops much of our personality and discipline in sports. Yay! seryoso ito.

3. My boss is ever understanding. I have mixed feelings over his move to a new role and I will have a new boss. I don’t know why he trust me but he do trust me and somehow i have earned his respect. But somehow, he is too relaxed. Maybe, I will get to that state soon. Not the managerial part—only the chill out state.

I have so much in my mind–I wanted to right but my mind is spinning off my inspiration to write at the moment. The right time will come.

By the way, they luvvvvvvvv the singapore flyer—-i loved it best because the ride was FREE!

View from the top is AMAZING!

This photo shimmers an instant inspiration. Like how I blushed at Kindergarten.

Do you know why I like talking to dreamers? They inspire me.

Yesterday, I had lunch with a friend who dreams of owning and managing a mountain resort one day.  She will study soon and  will be in line with the career she wants to pursue. My heart skipped listening to her plan of actions.  I can’t stop but adore this free spirited woman who is very sure on what she is going to do.  It indeed starts with a dream and in near future she will pursue her passion—-I couldn’t imagine what life be without dreamers to listen to.  Well, am imagining myself having a fresh orange juice on her resort someday

Today, had lunch with a male friend who has been a consistent dreamer and successful player in the world of securities!   He was very sure on what he is going to do—-stay a peaceful life in Bohol, go fishing , park his land cruiser underneath his nipa hut inspired house and do the stocks. He spoke to me about this very high risk means to play stocks nowadays and it is fitted to someone like him who is a mature player. I can’t stop get dumbfounded by the huge success and huge risks he is into! He just got the spark!

Maybe this is the reason why I dislike people who doesn’t talk to me for reason I don’t understand or may not accept. I can’t accept ” being shy ” for a supposedly long term friendship. Opps..that was off topic.

What I just want to say is——-I am voracious listener of dreams! It’s for FREE!

2 came today and it’s my quota already. No more purchases please. No to shopping. It is not entertaining anymore when I reminded myself of the many obligations we need to pay this month.
Full payment of Cavite house reno, insurance, credit card, etc.

This one ..l almost couldn’t breath. Not good for my size. So might go well with Joan as she claims to be the fittest among the sisterhood.

This is designed for the preggy look type. Then maybe I could tolerate this, I have a not so small tummy eh. In short, dako tiyan.

Good night , i have a very exciting day tomorrow and I wouldn’t want it ruined by anyone. Overdose of self control and patience. Lord, grant me wisdom and calmness. Yahoo…Friday na!

surround yourself with happy thoughts?

Do you drift your mind to it or you live in the moment and find the breathtaking moments to live by. Or perhaps, you do both?

Lately, I have been fighting over negative circumstances surrounding me, well, the source of which can vary. I have tried…so many times to convince myself to filter out those stuffs that seemed to stress me, especially if I don’t have any means to change the circumstance. I won some battles and I lost sometimes but it has improved much of the person I am now.

AWARENESS
Like , I can readily recognize if such circumstance could lead me to angry thoughts. Man, I have a bad temper- my husband could attest to it and am working on it. Every time, a slight temperature of anger is running in my veins—I talk to myself about it. And I realized, there is no point of getting angry. In many circumstance, I convert anger to laughter, it has worked. And being an observer myself— I realized anger, torrid words is not helpful outlet( well, shopping does) . The more you lack control of your emotions, the more irrational you are to society. Hence, you cause other people’s irritation and bad mood.

EXPERIENCE
What helped me reach the state of Awareness? Oh, yeah, it takes another angry person to help myself mull over. I witnessed how it is to be in a middle of a moody person, no amount of ” giving the benefit of the doubt” has worked for me. To be just surrounded by an irritable type is one way for me to cope with mine. I told myself—I don’t want to live life that way. I went through my own journey and mastered its impact. I talk it over to my husband and now, I can’t stop but laugh and learn from it. Heck with perfection.

Of course, such journey is incomplete without the other side of the coin. I have my idols in terms of patience, coolness and maturity. I am surrounded by them too. And they are my inspiration.

See, each person we encounter everyday in our life is with a purpose. Including those who seemed to be causing you pain, irritation and bad mood. The heart of the matter is —how you handle them. I have changed my outlook now. I’ve got to master this.

Have a great weekend everyone! We will start to pack for our Aussie trip over the weekend.

I was reading a very interesting book. Somehow it marveled some inner thoughts , I enjoyed it.

NOTHING LEFT OVER
By Toinette Lippe

- an illustration of life lived in terms of usefulness and impeccability rather than accomplishment or possessions. Simple as it sound- but this is what the book is about, Living life in simplicity. Unclutter one’s mind, do away with the unnecessary. Clean up junks, give away what is not used.

Although I am yet on my first few pages—-a lot of striking lines had caught me wide awake!
And I quote, ” I though that there had to be more to life than being alive and I resolved never to satisfied with my existence until that something more whatever it was , had been savored to the full. I felt moreover, that once my great job had been achieved, I would be prepared to die. “.

This life is meant to be lived, not in mediocrity but to the fullest.
LIFE is beautiful!

OF course a spoiler came. How exciting can it be?
I was seated next to a man who has a very strong body odor- not new in Singapore. Imagine me, excitedly reading a book and barely breathing. I thought am going to puke.

ang tummy ko and don’t know how to fix it. Eto, nag da drum rolls na naman. I tried this morning- but nothin seems to come out. Mahangin lang guro ang tyan ko, am not very comfy. Ieeww…Not a very nice topic to start.

Anyway, it is Tuesday morning, it rained this morning- sana di nabasa si Dada, I can’t lend my umbrella to him- he said it is OK though, he is taking the bus. I came in late for work. Well, 930 is not too late, hehehee…I can’t help but stare at Chy peacefully sleeping- I don’t want to wake her- she has been sleeping late waiting for dada to arrive from work. Dad’s overtime is starting to roll up to 1030. I looked at her smile of delight each time she hears the bedroom door clicked. I don’t know - she is too used to sleeping at same pace with the adults.

About Chy
I really dunno where this write up leads me- I just finished my concall, see am doing this in the middle of my corporate world. I guess, I have to speak of how blessed we have Chy in our midst. She is turning 5 soon- my GOD, how fast it was, each day is like paradise with her. It is not always ideal with the frequent disruption in the middle of my convo with the adults, which leads my impatience to the highest level but nevertheless, I still find the irritable moments a fun scene to be at. Like the ff;

1. She hates it when adults don’t listen to her- most of the time, she would say, Excuse me Dada, excuse me Mama?
2. She gets this irritated look too easily ( she got it from me though) and each time I remind her that, she immediately says, eh..” sorry sorry sorry”
3. Dada and mama time curling up in bed and in the middle of our sweet nothings- this little tot would say, ” dada, can you please embrace me?” toinks!!!
4. You are about to start your household chores and this lady would say, Ma, am bored- got nothing to do. ( and so it is my problem?) hehehhe..

See, it is not ideal to be IN but there is always joy in those irritating moments with her. I do , I do smack her using belt in those particular moments where she is very hard - and we talk it out after wards. Oh, it hurts me so.

Last night was awesome, ” Ma, do you love me?” “Yes, even if I do hit you with belt” and I was teary eyed. I had to explain to her the rationale behind it- I want you to grow well behaved and courteous and I want to remind you always——but dada and mama loves you so much and hugged her. Goodnight, little girl.

Inspiration
i wish to end this write up soon as it is lunch time- it was funny yesterday, had to borrow few bucks from a colleague- i forgot my wallet. I am certainly drawn to an inspiration. Chy’s portraits in a photo book. It would be a perfect granny gift for Christmas!

I should prepare my poems …I will keep it minimal and memorable!

what you are going through.
so, please don’t make it worse by that difficult look upon your face.
because i may not last that one too.
—————————————————————-
I admire those -who could hold on to their patience, able to control anger and minimize the impact of disgraceful moment.
—————————————————————
Oh, c’mon, LIVE…Try kuno beh aron PEACE.
—————————————————————
And when there ain’t good to say- believe me, it is appreciated if you keep your mouth shout, you don’t have to yell
————————————————————–
Know which is which-if only i could spell out initiative and common sense to you perhaps, you would be able to understand , that is more impt that what your hand is busy of.

Actually, these are all summary of emotions. Before I was battling within but not anymore. See, the greatest enemy at the end of the day is actually ,oneself. Emotions are tough- esp for a woman undergoing menstruation period. Back off!

It appears to me that due to technological advancement, the world seemed to shrink. How quickly things get done nowadays. It is superb but actually, I missed the laid back life. So right now, let me write down , inspirations that keep me at peace with my world.

This photo reminds me our dependency of each other. I am reminded of my desire to be kind. Beautiful snap isn’t it? , courtesy from Kizza’s friendster account.

And the last but not the least. The golden sound of children laughing ( courtesy of google)

Today, am inspired with these things surrounding me- even if they existed only in my imagination.

Just Imagine! Ikaw, are you inspired?
