If you see a lady who looks like me driving a silver Honda sedan lately, then most probably, yes, it was ME. XCB 185? Check. It was Isa on the steering wheel.
Yes, God gave me a car! And the best part of it was I got it AT ZERO COST!!!!!
Well, almost.
Where in the world can you ever find a lady like me who earns a little more than minimum wage AND drives around a five-year-old car? Kuya came home one night, handed me the key to his Honda sedan, and told me that I could drive it around from then on. Yep, it's all mine.
Next thing I know is I was already in driving school, enrolling for a five-day course. Then, it was off to LTO. I got my license in a day, contrary to all the stories I've been hearing from friends. And I've been burning rubber and pumping gas ever since hehehe :)
I still can't figure it all out, but I'm very sure that the car is God's way of confirming the ministry path I'll be taking this year. I can't thank and praise Him enough for answering my prayers --- and answering me this way! FYI, I didn't ask God for a car. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think that God would give me a car now. It's the farthest thing on my mind. I was praying for ministry direction, and for ministry confirmation. Then, voila, the car came. It was more than all the direction and confirmation I needed (more on this in my future blogs).
Until the next blog. For now, please excuse me as I practice how to park :)
Vroom vroom vroom :)

Christmas and the New Year interlude
2007 might well be the best year of my life. Sure, I had my share of pains and hurts, but overall, I really love this year. Here are the reasons why:
1. Hooked up with my college best friends. I'm referring to none other than Agnes and Crystal, of course. Ever since we started texting last September, it has been sessions of overnight chitchats and good food (courtesy of Tal's kitchen and her and BJ's culinary skills). Ha! It even inspired me to try preparing certain dishes right in my own kitchen. And speaking of the two girls, I do commit to free up certain days of the month so I could constantly keep in touch. Sobrang busy ng lola nyo, grabe.
2. Tried out pasta. I am a girl with zero background when it comes to cooking. That's why I instantly cooked during the holidays so I could try out this amazing pasta dish that I got from a co-teacher in Sunday School. Results? My brother wanted more! Hahaha! And so, you'll see a more adventurous cook in me next year. How about a sizzling Spanish dish next time? Well...
3. Started on a healthy eating plan. I have said adios to the bulges and eating binges especially at midnight. I'm not getting any younger; besides, this body is the temple of the holy spirit. it deserves respect and proper care. Oh, and sayonara to all the fatty and oily foods. Hello, veggies!
4. Was all ears to Hillsong. You are what you feed your mind. Previously, I got so hooked on soppy old love songs and the types you always listened to to further inflict pain on yourself. So I decided to change my musical interests, and am now listening more to praise and worship songs. God is great and good, and I intend to emphasize that fact to myself everyday of my life, instead of harping on life's bitternesses.
5. Enrolled myself in driving school. Yay! And I'm trying my best to master this one without being too nervous. In fairness, Dynamic Driving Institute has great instructors.
6. Did a general cleaning of my room. As usual, this is one of my staples. I should even say, weekly staples.
7. Attended reunions galore. And weddings too. It's good to see you guys!
Have a happy new year, everyone!

Oh, by the way, it was so nice getting kissed by my student Krizia last week. She just knocked on our door, hugged me and planted a peck on my cheek. Awww...the joys of touching lives :-)
