Work

Dear Rio,
Your work is your ministry. You job is your mission. Your office is your church. People who see you at work should get blessed.

Love,
God

P.S. Wondering how all these can happen, Rio? Stick around. I'll show you.

Dear Lord,

Thank you!
What a wonderful work (world)...la la la

Broken Hearted Me

Every now and then I cry
Every night you keep stayin' on my mind
All my friends say I'll survive
It just takes time
.
But I don't think time is gonna heal this broken heart
No I don't see how it can if it's broken all apart
A million miracles could never stop the pain
Or put all the pieces together again
No I don't think time is gonna heal this broken heart
No I don't see how it can while we are still apart
And when you hear this song I hope that you will see
That time won't heal a broken-hearted me
.
LSS with Sitti's prod in ASAP Sessionistas yesterday.
Mama and Papa's theme song is an Anne Murray song -You needed me.
I also ended up having an Anne Murray theme song - Broken Hearted Me.
.
sorry! broken hearted me mode...

Drift or Paddle-excerpt

Two people in a relationship are like two little boats floating on the sea. Problem: There’s a current that will slowly pull the two boats apart. Before they know it, the two boats are miles away from each other.There’s really only one way to fight the drift: Paddle! If you don’t want to drift, you’ll have to go against the flow and paddle your way to each other. You’ll have to work hard, muscle your way, sweat like crazy and fight to be together. You really only have two choices in life. You either Drift or you Paddle.

But, I was given no choice but to drift.

Happy Birthday Ate AJ

Because she had an advance birthday celebration and we will still be celebrating her birthday tomorrow...confusion hit her.."Mommy, wag ka maingay ha? Bakit dalawa birthday ko?"
.
And here are some of her other lines:
.
While her mommy is taking a picture of her to be used in school:
Tita Rio: Para san ba yan?
AJ: Pang lagay sa Friendster Hala! :-)
.
Everytime John Lloyd registers on the tube, she would run to me and shout.."Tita Rio, si Papa John LLoyd natin...kekeleg ako!"
.
She burst in the kitchen singing "Papa papa papa ____ " (to the tune of Paparazzi) Hala! :-)
.
Tita Rio: Sinong jowa mo?
AJ: Si Gabby Hala ulit :-)
.
Tita Rio: Punta tayong Australia?
AJ: Opo
Tita Rio: San ba yun?
AJ: Sa langit :-)
.
Lhet: Bakit umiiyak si Tita Rio
AJ: Nimimiss nya si _______
.
Ate AJ, your Tita Rio (with everybody's assumption that I will be your ninang in the future-but not anymore-just your Tita forever-isiningit ko talaga!) wishes you all the love and happiness this world can shower you. Be bright as ever. Continue bringing smile and laughter in the house. And always be your mom and dad's pride and joy.
Paglaki mo ikukuwento ko sa yo lahat ng kakulitan mo :-)

Wow them!

Dear Rio,

When it comes to service, be outrageous. Go the extra mile. Do the unexpected. Wow them. If you're going to serve, might as well have fun at the same time, right?

To your success,
God

P.S. Don't give half-hearted service, Rio. You're built for more exciting stuff.

Crossing

pre-wedding jitters- Melissa popped a question " What is this pre-wedding thing wherein the girl doubts...bla bla bla...? I replied..."Pre-Wedding jitters". Being cold feet before you take the plunge. The yes or no before the "I do". I know this is just a "what-is-the-term" question, and not a "i-am-into-this-situation" question. Congratulations and Best wishes Melissa! Cheers to a blessed married life! The crossing from two becoming one.

Rachel and Gab-rumored breakup. This time, the crossing from two becoming one and another one. Affected by this showbiz buzz not only because Shin is so much loved by Angel but also because I already crossed that bridge...http://www.pep.ph/news/23599/Gab-Valenciano-on-rumored-breakup-with-Rachelle-Ann-Go

moving the ladies-Martin sent an email-"Can you please arrange to transfer Belinda Claire and Rio to Al Quoz as we discussed. Please arrange for this weekend if possible or alternatively next week-end." After 5 months of staying in the Ayala of Dubai, we're crossing back on the jungle.

and to J, You are a pillar of strength because of the tears that you did not shed...you chose to keep inside..because you face this with grace...Courage is an understatement. May God keep you and your family in this trying times. Crossing this hell or high water, you'll be able to conquer this.

Respect

Dear Rio,

Do you respect yourself? Do you respect your feelings? Do you respect your needs? Always be respectful with yourself. You’re dealing with royalty.

Happy to have made your acquaintance,
God

P.S. I respect you, Rio.

Dear Lord,

I respect you more.

When God made you

Its always been a mystery to me,
How two hearts can come together,
And love can last forever.
But now that I have found you I believe,
That a miracle has come when God sends the perfect one.
So gone are all my questions about why,
And i've never been so sure of anything in my life

Oh I wonder what God was thinking,when he created you.
I wonder if He knew everything I would need,
Because he made all my dreams come true.
When God made you, He must have been thinking about me.

Ooo ooo,I promise that wherever you may go,

wherever life may lead you, With all my heart I'll be there too.
And from this moment on I want you to know,
I'll let nothing come between us, and I will love the ones you love.
So gone are all my questions about why

Oh I wonder what God was thinking when he created you,
I wonder if He knew everythin I would need,
Because He made all my dreams come true.
When God made you He must've been thinking about me.

He made the sun He made the moon,
To harmonize a perfect tune,
One can't do without the other they just have to be together.
And that is how I know its true,
You're for me and i'm for you and my world
Just cant be right without you in my life

He must have heard every prayer I've been praying
He must've knew everything I would need
When God made you, He must've been thinking about me.


When God made you -who you????

Be wise

Dear Rio,

Are there people in your life that aren't making you a better person? Avoid toxic people. Love them, yes, but don't spend too much time with them. Life is short!

Be wise,
God

P.S. Rio, I've provided wonderful people around you to be your friends, teachers, and inspiration. Look for them.

Dear Lord,

Thank you for those wonderful, not toxic people around me. Bless them all. Amen.

Retweet

rayurose: RT @itsmemarielt: RT @ lizzuy: (For the broken hearted)

Love when you're ready..not when you're lonely.

Rio..bear that in mind and in heart..owki???

Angel

2 days in a row
2 glasses of F with C
didn't leave me tipsy
but it lead me to a new discovery

To my angel:

I am so touched for I was chosen
Thank you for entrusting me the sorrows of your heart
...for showing me the hidden
...for sharing to me the untold
...for unlocking the concealed

if you miss them, they miss you more
wherever you are right now, they are the most proud
open up...it lightens up the burden you carry within...just like you did
promise...pag may pagkakataon...ipapakilala ko na :-) para bati na tau a???

To him: sabi ni angel...

"Sayang...nanghihinayang talaga ko sa inyo..."

Happy Birthday Adie and AJ

Escape

Not a sweet one...

I went out to jog last night for an escape.

However, as I ran, so many thoughts also ran on my mind-these I can't escape...

And when I was through...home at last...the warm hug of my sheet and pillows and the comfort of my bed, accompanied me as I cry myself to sleep.

Dear Lord, I am so troubled.. Show me the way to that sweet escape...

Work

Dear Rio,

Your work should be an expression of My love to the world. If it isn’t, you’re in the wrong job. Or you have a terrible attitude towards your work. Either way, you’ve got to change.

God

P.S. Hey, don't worry. I’ll help you, Rio.

Dear Lord,

I know you want me where I am right now. Thank you.

Daily

Dear Rio,

Don't take yourself too seriously. Learn to laugh more often. Often, often, often. That's Doctors' orders, you hear?

The Great Physician,
God

P.S. Belly laughter. Daily. Do it, Rio.

Dear Lord,

Yes...with AJ and Adie around...it's overdose!

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high...

I so fell in love with this song.
Sung by: Israel "Iz" Kaʻanoʻi Kamakawiwoʻole (May 20, 1959 – June 26, 1997) a Hawaiʻian musician.He became famous outside Hawaii when his album Facing Future was released in 1993 with his medley of "Over the Rainbow" and "What a Wonderful World", which was subsequently featured in several films, television programs, and commercials. Through his consummate ukulele playing and incorporation of other genres (such as jazz and reggae), Iz remains one of the major influences in Hawaiʻian music over the last 15 years.-wikipedia

Don't stop

Dear Rio,

Look around you. Everything is changing. Growing. Expanding. Developing. Even the entire universe is still growing. So evolve! Don't stop becoming a better person everyday. It's your destiny.

I believe you,
God

P.S. Be committed to growth, Rio. Love demands it.

Dear Lord,
Thank you...Another answer to this big thing that I am in deep thought lately. *wink*

Gone

smile smile smile...finally...the promised night out

in high spirits because of my new BB :-)

lonesome because for the nth time you were not true to your words...you broke your promise..you broke my heart...i told you...i told you...

memories of the past disturbed me...i can clearly remember, exactly one year ago, the rain...the delayed flight...the tears..the neverending goodbyes...the promises...gone...all gone...never did it occur to me that that will be the last hug... the last kiss...until all i have to do is accept...yes...it is the last

safe streets...also gone last night...thank you Lord for keeping me safe from those bad guys..thanks also to Let for being my knight...that was an experience! when I finally arrived home, AJ welcomed me with " Tita Rio, dapat kasi kasama mo si Dhim!!!"...smile slowly replaced the fear drawn on my face...whew!

and for some other things...petty things...annoyance is so pushy...leave me alone!

Lord, I will visit you later...please lay a hand on my heart...I need peace...
