This day in history from:

It finally hit me...

Let's keep this one short.

I was probably too busy at work. I was probably too busy earning a living. I was probably too busy being a parent (and that goes double because I'm only one parent to two children). I was probably too busy being a son to my parents. All at the same time.

My "busy" concerns probably kept me from feeling bad or depressed about what happened to me and my marriage. It probably kept me from feeling bad about what "that girl" did to my life (and that of my children).

I could easily tell my life story to anyone willing to listen with a cavalier attitude. Before, I would never tire of telling my story so they could learn something from it.

Until now...

Finally, it just hit me. Now, I'm going through the routine questions like, "Why did this happen to me?" "What did I do to deserve this?" or "Why God why?"

It's the mother of all delayed reactions... Imagine, two years?

Anyway, I hope I pull through. I'll try to keep you posted on this, if I can.

What a way to start the year...

How was your new year? Back to reality again *wink.

"Storytelling is healing. As we reveal ourselves in story, we become aware of the continuing core of our lives under the fragmented surface of our experience. We become aware of the multifaceted, multichaptered ' I ' who is the storyteller. We can trace out the paradoxical and even contradictory versions of ourselves that we create for different occasions, different audiences.... Most important, as we become aware of ourselves as storytellers, we realized that what we understand and imagine about ourselves is a story. And when we know all this, we can use our stories to heal and make ourselves whole." ~Susan Wittig Albert~

Hey Punzi,
Hang in there bud! The kids are with you and I'm pretty sure they love being with you. The Lord has something planned for you, nothing happens without a reason, though it sometimes feels really unfair.
Isang case ng Cerveza Negra lang yan then you move on hehe.

Happy new year!!

Awww...cheer up, Punzi. Don't beat yourself up over it. Existentialism can push you over the edge. Something Ph 101 and 102 forgot to tell us. Go and rant...you've got your loyal followers to listen/read every detail. :-)

Side Prayers

PRAYER FOR GENEROSITY
Lord Jesus,
Teach me to be generous,
Teach me to serve You as You deserve
To give and not to count the cost,
To fight and not to heed the wounds,
To toil and not to seek for rest,
To labor and not to ask for reward,
except that of knowing
That I do Your Holy Will. Amen

THE LAWYER'S PRAYER
May every word I speak be from Your Truth...
I ask come from Your Wisdom...
May every case I handle receive Your Guidance...
May every heart, every life I touch, feel Your Love.

THE JABEZ PRAYER
And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying,
"Oh, that You would bless me indeed,
and enlarge my territory,
that Your Hand be with me,
that You would keep me from evil,
that I may not cause pain."

So God granted him what he requested.

I will delay no man for money or malice,
and will conduct myself as a lawyer

and discretion with all good fidelity
as well to the courts as to my clients;
and I impose upon myself this voluntary obligation
