3 days to go before Christmas and I know God is too kind to let the people of the Southern Part of the Philippines feel lost and down. I believe that everything happens for a reason even though most of the times, we can never understand the why's and how's.

Let's all pray that we all see the Sun shine again at it's finest. That God give us the strength, hope, love, courage and understanding in what we are all facing each day.

I pray that the souls of the people who passed away and people still missing due to the Typhoon Sendong find rest and peace for eternity together with our Creator. I also pray for their family who feel sadness that not even Wiki can define.

I still feel sad about other Filipinos who suffered great loss, I am sending out a prayer for anyone who needs it.

Finally! My Very Own SB Cherry Planner!

I was lucky enough to get my SB Cherry Planner 2012 for only 14 stickers. It was the last day for their 14th birthday promo and I am really glad I got the chance to have my very first SB Planner. =D

I have been wanting to have one for years now, sadly I wasn't able to get one from over the years. I consider this as a gift for myself this coming Christmas. =D

I also love collecting notebooks (and pens too), so this is like a major collection for me. I will start writing down notes and random written thoughts on it starting tomorrow. I was actually thinking if I should just start on the 1st of January next year (maybe). =)

I want a special pen for my very special SB Cherry Planner! I will look for a pen later or maybe on Thursday.

I know it may seem shallow and all, wanting to have one SB Planner, but for someone like me who appreciates simple and little things in life, I consider this as a gift. =)

I should have posted about this some 6 days ago, but I was too busy lately and stress has caught up with me (grabbed me tightly and I don't think that stress is gonna let go that easily).

But still, I am thanking God for all the blessings. =)

One more major blessing to come *fingers crossed* No expectations, but I am hoping.

Missing Person: Coleen Grabido

*Image from the Definitely Filipino Post

Name: Coleen Gabrido
Missing since December 6, 2011
Family's Contact info: 0915-9013848

Her child's wish for Christmas is for his mommy to come home.
Please offer your prayers that a child's wish will come true.
Please keep on sharing. This has been verified with the husband.

Details of her disappearance are as follows:
She is a registered nurse and left the house at around 1pm of December 6, 2011 for her IELTS review. The couple didn't have any previous arguments to consider Coleen running away, they also have a 6 year old child to care for and big plans for their family The husband has reported Coleen missing to the police and she was last seen at their Project 6 home.

Before she left their house, Coleen messaged her husband at about 12:40pm on December 6 saying, "Dad, papasok na ako. (Dad, I'm going to school)". That was the last text he received from her. The review center is just 15 minutes away from their home.

Coleen's husband tried to contact her mobile phone upon finding that his wife hasn't returned yet nor replied back to his messages. Her phone was still ringing in December 6 but next day, December 7 after 5pm, she can no longer be contacted.

Coleen is about 5'4" tall with an estimated weight 120-125lbs. The young mom at 26 had with her, her Nine West black shoulder bag, mobile phone, books and wallet. She did not leave their house with any extra clothing to dispute thoughts that she might have run away.

From her review class, Coleen usually arrives at around 10-10:30pm but she did not get to come home since the night of December 6, 2011.

Please help her be found. A little sharing of this won't hurt.

Another priceless Christmas present for her family and her kid.

I am praying that she'll be found soon.

Thanks everyone! Have a blessed 2nd Simbang Gabi. =)

Thank You God for the Blessings

Dear God,

I know that you have purposely closed another door for me because it is for my own good. However, I am very thankful because you have opened numbers of window so I can still see how good life is.

Thank you for the blessings.

Amen.

Edward Cullen to Bella Swan - Breaking Dawn Part One

"It's an extraordinary thing to meet someone who you can bare your soul to and accept you for what you are. I've been waiting, for what seems like a very long time, to get beyond what I am..."

-Edward Cullen, "Breaking Dawn - Part One"

====

I watched the movie with my nieces Pepzy and Pauls. The movie was breathtaking and I actually cried when Bella was walking down the aisle. The scene felt so sincere and pure. It was love... Yes, what I like about this movie is how strong love can be. How strong it really is.

Whenever I watch or read The Twilight Saga, it makes me want to believe in love more than I can... to hold onto love and never let go.

To have faith that someday soon, that "One Fine Day" will come true...

I'll be waiting for the second part.

I am really busy these past few weeks and I will just take a short two hours nap and be back to work. I have long overdue tasks to accomplish.

Have a blessed week everyone.

Updates on the Missing Persons Posted

It got me thinking, there was an anonymous person who commented on one of the "Missing Person" I have posted asking for updates. However, when I checked the original post over Facebook, I can't seem to find it. I was thinking that maybe the person who posted it deleted the post, for a reason I don't really know.

So here's now what I would do, post an update about these missing persons:

Lolo Matias: Found Already (It was on the news)

Sadelfin Leoncio: I visited the original post and according to his daughter, he is still not found.

Rosita Torres: Found Already (According to her daughter Reselie)

Lolo Marcelo Centes: This one got me thinking, the post was deleted I don't have an updated.

I wanted to thank the person who commented on one of my post, gave me an idea to post updates. I am just hoping that some people are not using this "Missing Person" thing to create yet another FB craze just like the previous not-so-good posts that flooded FB.

Have a blessed weekend everyone.

Can't seem to find the time to write my thoughts... Maybe in the coming days. The past few weeks had been very tiring and stressful. 

*sigh*
