Tough Day, Positive Outlook
Today started with high spirits, my usual cheerful self ready to tackle the day. I firmly believe that this optimistic attitude shields me from getting engulfed by life's problems. However, as the day unfolded, it became an emotional rollercoaster.
The morning began innocuously enough with a simple food order at Chowking. My husband requested an addition to my usual order, but a misunderstanding led to me thinking I had to alter the entire order. When the food arrived, blame ensued as I was accused of not listening well. Despite rectifying the situation, the incident lingered in my mind, causing a ripple of unease.
Later in the evening, attempting a light-hearted tease with my sister about dinner plans went awry. Unbeknownst to me, she wasn't in the mood and my innocent jest triggered an emotional breakdown. The atmosphere turned tense and sad, casting a shadow over the evening.
The final blow came when I asked my husband to be home by 8 pm and get dinner for our children. However, he returned home significantly later at 10:22 pm, leaving me furious and utterly disappointed. The accumulated frustrations of the day seemed to converge, overwhelming me to the point where I couldn't even muster the joy to play with my daughter.
Confrontation became difficult as my sister was present, inhibiting me from expressing my pent-up emotions. It's moments like these that prayer becomes my refuge, providing a channel to release and find solace amidst the storm of emotions, a healing balm when I feel ready to confront these challenges anew.

Christmas Prayer 1
Dear God,
As I sit here reflecting on our Christmas celebration in Butuan City with our cherished family, my heart overflows with gratitude. The laughter of our children playing games and the joy on their faces as they unwrapped their gifts—these moments are precious blessings that I cherish deeply. Despite the challenges, the weariness my husband, Joseph, felt as he drove us through the night, we arrived safely at 10:00 PM, and for that, I'm immensely thankful.
In the midst of our joy, I can't ignore the weight of our financial struggles. Yet, in these moments of uncertainty, I've witnessed your divine intervention. With less than the ideal family budget left in a month, you've orchestrated miracles in our lives, meeting our needs in ways I couldn't have imagined. It's a testament to your faithfulness, and I acknowledge your hand in every aspect of our journey.
Lord, I come before you with a humble heart, seeking a breakthrough in our finances. Guide us to avenues where we can contribute more to our family's well-being. As the eldest and feeling the weight of responsibility to support our loved ones, grant us the wisdom to discern the right side hustles that will alleviate our financial burdens.
Your promise in Philippians 4:19 echoes in my soul: 'And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.' I cling to this assurance, believing in your abundant provision for our family.
As the rain pours relentlessly, I pray for protection from the floods that threaten other barangays. Please shield us from harm, calm the storm, and keep us safe in your loving embrace.
Thank you, Lord, for hearing my prayers and for your unwavering love. In your name, I place my hopes and trust. Amen.

Special ManCom Conference cum Christmas Party 2019 Hostess
My co-teacher, Sir Rodel, informed me that we're highly recommended to be the hosts of the Special ManCom Conference cum Christmas Party 2019 on December 19, 2019. Who am I to say NO to this rare opportunity to represent our district? Though , I had speaking engagement on that day, I asked one of my close relatives to substitute me .
Last year, I was also invited to be the co-host of the 5th Regular ManCom. It was July 2018 and their outfit theme is WEDDING. Here are some photos of that day:
with my co-host, Mr. Romulo Cebuala of Timamana NHS |
with the district Supervisor, Mrs. Brenda Lisbos and the head teachers from our district representing the role of the "bride and groom" |
the rest of the head teachers and principals of Tubod district with Dr. Larry Morandante |
This year, the outfit theme is RETRO. I don't have much time to prepare and look for the outfit. Thus, I just wear the readily available outfit from my sister.
Credits for the photos I had after this goes to Sir Rodel and to Ma'am Frelyn Stella.

If I'm not mistaken, this is the 3rd time I co-hosted with Mr. Rodel Solera, my co-teacher from Tubod NHS. It's such a joy working with him. |
