I just finished watching “Wanted” and on this movie, I have seen Angelina smile a lot. WOW!

A good movie, but on the end, somehow I was disappointed on how things turned out.

A busy day today and I still have a lot of tasks needed to be done. I wanted to go out today, but it would be better if I just stayed home.

Gonna watch more movie that I have downloaded.

This thing is a really big help for those who needs something fast. I am loving the services Torrent has offered.

I just downloaded something that I could watch. Actually, it was supposed to be my daughters, but it turned out that she got bored before the climax of the story. So, I ended up watching it alone until it ends.

It was a funny story.

I have a few comments on my blog coming from one person correcting my grammar. Thanks for caring

But anyway, I made this blog to express myself and for others to know me as me; may it be the ever so wrong grammar Junelle, depressed Junelle, friendly Junelle or whatever people may think of me as to what they have read here on my blog.

I am not conscious about my grammar or the wrong spelling I made or will be making. It is nice that you corrected me. Again, thank you. You offered your help, but honestly, I have no time for grammar tutorial right now, since it is not really needed for the job that I am doing. I may converse with my client using an English language, but for all they care is how I do my job right and not the way I type or speak to communicate with them.

I also blog for some people, and even though my English is not as excellent as yours, I earn a decent amount for the work I have done.

You seem to be looking for a ways to earn more. Why don’t you do that instead of going here to my blog and noticing this grammar or errors I am making.

(smiles) If I was the Junelle a year ago, I wouldn’t back out on the challenge. But things changed, and it seems that every minute of my day is counted and being paid for, so it is hard to just waste it to something not really important for the time being.

This post is made to feed the spiders and to express my thoughts. To someone who cares, Thanks. I wish I would have enough time to read your comments and to know you better. But I would rather work on some pending tasks than to do that.

I love posting, but not reading I skim when I read and I prefer to learn watching videos than reading the manuals. Thats just me, its better you make a video, if you want me to learn. You could also earn a bit in doing so, if it would click.

PAHABOL: You haven’t even added a URL of your blog. Are you not proud or your written works? I’d rather be tutored by someone I know, than have strangers teach me wrong ones

TO TONY FALCON, whoever you are that has been giving comment on my post. I noticed you have some IDENTITY PROBLEM … You need a professional help.

Point given? You are not as smart as you think you double identity, same IP. FOR SOMEONE WHO NEEDS GRAMMAR TUTORIAL, you might need help from this Psycho … coz I wont be wasting my time with someone who has a tililing.

My officemate is selling ipods and I know a lot of people are interested in those kinds of gadget. I was lucky enough to have my client give it to me as a reward.I love my client, I love my company. Everytime I work, I feel like I have an extended family around the world.
I feel so lucky to have been blessed with so many things, specially a great client.

A friend told me that “True friend would find ways to keep in touch.”

Perhaps it is true.

I noticed that I have been to busy recently that it made me question where are my friends now, what are they doing, etc.

I only text them once in a while, but most of them doesn’t even reply. I could not remember when was the last time I went out with my friends. I miss them already, but there are still a lot of things I need to take care of now. When it is all over, I hope they will not be to busy to spend time with me and I hope I wont be with them

Anyways, a lot of my long lost friends came back to my life. Well, that is good enough. I have friends online, so when I need someone to talk to, I just type and type and type my heart out.

I was so busy this afternoon that I was not able to post what I should have after lunch.

Lunch time came and I forgot to bring my baon, so I searched for a resto that is not crowded but serves good food. So, I got in Ted’s Lapaz Batchoy. After I finished paying for my order my neighbors came in and talked to me. One of them asked me if I am working and I said yes, then she smiled and said that its just for “formality” that I am working, then the other one answered, “Even if Baby Girl (that’s me) will not work, she would live.”

Why do my neighbors thinks of me that way? I want to believe in what they are saying, but honestly, I think I need to work because my families monthly income is not enough for our expenses.

Aaaahh well…

I guess the Thanks therapy is working for me. It was years ago when I discovered that when you say at least 5 thanks it will help you have a positive outlook in life that will result to having a good life. It should be made as a routine; once a week like I do, but sometimes I forgot to do so. However, it really do help when you are doing it because it would make you see the importance of things in life.

Aside from giving thanks, I noticed recently that I have also been receiving thanks from different people. Strangers, friends and family has been showering me with it.

Realization: When I appreciate people or things around me, I am happier. When I am happy, I influence others as well.

So, isn’t it nice that all of us would be happy? Start your “Thanks” list now and do it every week. A possitive outlook results to a happy life.

My friend Lorie, never failed to give me an inspirational story. Today, she forwarded the late Rio Diaz-Cojuanco testimony.

Please do read this testimony of the late Rio Diaz-Cojuanco and pass this on to your loved ones!

Sad and touching, but real.

RIO DIAZ’s Testimony (Aug 17, 2003)

Six months ago, my family was preparing for my funeral, but I stand here before you today by God’s grace because He still has a purpose for my life.

Let me share with you my story..

In April, l99l, I began to host Eat Bulaga!, a noontime show that brought me fame beyond my wildest dreams. I earned good money while I made people laugh. What a blessing!

October of l993, I met Charlie. Single and good-looking, this guy has a terrific sense of humor, a man with a big heart. “Kung sa beauty contestant, beauty and brains.” At a certain point in our relationship, we both knew God brought us to be together…for life.

In August, l994, we were married. After four wonderful years of marriage, God blessed us with two children, Claudia and Jaime. Thirteen years earlier, I was blessed with a son, Ali, from a previous relationship.

May of l998, Charlie became Congressman and I became Vice Mayor of Pontevedra (Negros Occidental). November of the same year, during a routine check-up, they discovered some abnormalities in my stomach area which, the doctors said, could be solved by a minor procedure.

A few days later, my supposedly one-hour surgery turned out to be a six-hour-and- a-half surgery. I was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer..
Cancer?

No one had cancer in the family. My life flashed before me. My world suddenly caved in. The doctors were quite frank. They told us that I had only a couple of months to live. Stage 4 cancer is like a death sentence.

As my doctor was speaking, I didn’t understand a word he said because all I could think of was Charlie, my children, my family, my in-laws, would whisper, Lord, help me…help them, Lord!

They’re all suffering. I don’t know how to comfort them. The day before my first chemotherapy, I said Lord, just tell me you’re in control.
Tell me that no one made a mistake and I’ll be fine no matter what, Lord. Somebody gave me a devotional book entitled Streams in the Desert which I read at 3 o’clock in the morning. It said, this
is my doing.

Your weakness needs my strength and your safety lies in letting me fight for you. You did not come to this place by accident. You are exactly where I meant you to be. You were so busy that I could not get your attention and I wanted to teach you some of my greatest truths. The pain will leave you as soon as you learn to see me; in all things. These words became the pillow on which I rested my weary head.

I surrendered to God all my fears, all my burdens and my family as I began my journey of trials. I focused on His promises as Jesus said, Surely I am with you always.

By God’s gracious mercy and beyond all medical explanation, after six months of chemotherapy went on remission. Eight months later, the cancer was back. More surgery, more chemo. And then again, God allowed healing for me. The best lesson I am learning from this is how God allows us to enjoy life with His moment by moment of grace. My third bout with cancer entailed three different chemotherapies infused at the same time. The Lord allowed me to learn to NEVER GIVE UP, NEVER GIVE UP…PUT YOUR HOPE IN GOD.

Three times, I was at the threshold of death. Medicines and state-of-the- art treatments were not working anymore. Not all the money in the world nor the best doctors on earth can make us live if God doesn’t want us to. During those times, God comforted my heart with these verses: Why are you downcast o my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God for I will yet praise Him my Saviour and my Lord.

But let me tell you about my latest brush with death. After spending Christmas with my family here i Manila , I left for San Francisco in January of 2003 for my check-up. I knew there was something terribly wrong with my body. I had sleepless nights; I was steadily losing weight; I couldn’t eat anything.

By the time I had completed all my tests, I was only 96 pounds. My doctor said, the cancer has spread. You need to be confined in the hospital. Your food passage is completely blocked by the cancer. I don’t know how much time you have. Not much. Maybe a month. But I promise you will not feel the pain. I hugged Dr. Fisher and thanked him. I told him, don’t be sad. I know God is in full control of my life.

I went home that night to make some arrangements and my daughter was fast asleep. I knelt down b her bedside and I cried, Mama loves you so much that it hurts. Lord, you know how much I love my Ali, my Claudia and my Jaime. You gave them to Charlie and me and I thank you. I know in my heart that Charlie will love them and watch over them.
Lord, take care of my husband because I love him very much. But much more than this, it comforts me to know that I could never love them as much as you love them. I thank you, Father God.

Charlie remained by my bedside day and night, caressing me, talking to me. It pains me to think how much our husbands or wives suffer the fear of losing us. How blessed I am to know how much my family and friends love me.

The Lord allowed me to experience deep, deep, sleep. I have never ever felt that kind of peace, peace that surpasses all understanding. Dr. Fisher explained to Charlie that my nourishment would come from a bag of liquid attached to me, which has to be administered on a daily basis for life. I would never be able to eat or drink again.

Surgery was ruled out, so was radiation. As a last recourse, it was suggested that I do the mildest chemo but if I so much as cough, he would remove it and just keep me comfortable. I was in awe when I was told how many people were praying for me. By God’s sovereign mercy, I never coughed.. One month later, my cancer level went down by half. I am now only a few points away from being on remission.

And as if this weren’t enough, God’s incredible bonus is that I am back to my full diet. I can eat and drink anything now! Once again, the doctors were amazed. Yes, isn’t our God amazing? God spared my life when Stanford doctors had given up on me.

In my heart, I knew why. God allowed this miracle in my life to show us how gracious He is and what a powerful weapon prayer can be. And that God can perform miracles in our lives, if you let Him. I will never fully understand God’s ways but I do know that God has a purpose for each of us. When God calls you to live for Him, He will invite you to be a part of something much bigger than yourself, something that requires the very best of you, something that may outlive you. When God calls us to a powerful vision, it may transcend safety and it may transcend common sense because it is all about Jesus Christ.
Without Jesus, we will not make it!

Do we know, do you know, what God wants you to do with your life? If you are uncertain of God’s will for your life, surrender all your plans to Jesus because God’s plans for us are perfect.

The cancer in my body, I did not choose. But in God’s sovereignty, He allowed this affliction in my life. But I ask you, what is the cancer in your life?

Is it the cancer of unforgiveness, jealousy, lust, anger or bitterness that you are holding on to?
What are the wrong choices you continue to make because they give you temporary pleasure but can permanently destroy you -your husband or your wife or your children or your circle of influence?

If you are going through a time of terrifying darkness and despair, or are plagued by doubts that are slowly eroding your hope that things can get better, I urge you to surrender it all to God; give Him full control of your life. It is the only way to live.

Lord, forgive me for all my sins. Jesus, come into my heart; be my Lord and my Saviour. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

Friends,

Get inspired with Rio ‘s story like me. It just occurred to me that I am also too busy with my life & work right now. Oftentimes, I forget to pray and thank the Lord for all the blessings that I receive.. I even keep on complaining that what I have is never enough. I keep on questioning Him with all the unfairness that I observe and demanding for a lot more. I don’t have any idea on the plans that he has for me because I am usually blindfolded with my own desires – desire for luxury, power & control, recognition , & comfort. I think I must also start surrendering everything to Him and let Him lead me.
Didn’t you guys notice how exhausting our lives are?
I always feel like I’m on a race and catching the leading car! How about you?

I wont wait for a cancer to strike before I will recognize God’s plans! I won’t promise anything but I’ll do my best!

Please do read this testimony of the late Rio Diaz-Cojuanco and pass this on to your loved ones!

Sad and touching, but real.

My father is coming home and I was on my usual, “Daddy bring me this and that…” My dad replied that he is not coming home for vacation, but because he is sick. My dreams were crushed, and I was really shocked.

I am worried now, not only because my father is sick but I was thinking, as an only child and as a single mom of 2 kids, I need to give more effort to earn for my family. I need to top my Dad’s salary, I know I could, but I didn’t expect things would happen this early, I don’t have a stable or strong plan yet for my future, but the foundation seems to be enough to hold us all.

Wish me luck everyone!

I know this is going to be one hell of a ride, but I know I could make it

No Nokia N97 for me, no DSLR, no new laptop … if you see me having one of this, then it is a sign, I am on my way

A moment ago I have heard someone “sigh” and there is no one in the room but me. Then I thought maybe its just a site that I opened that has sounds in it, but then I checked my headset is plugged and I am not putting it on my ears, it’s beside the laptop. There’s no way that I would hear a sound on my headset that loud.

The one who “sighed” may be watching me as I write this post, but I am not scared. I guess in our life, there are times like this that you can’t seem to explain what just happened and just say, someone unseen is beside me and watching over me.

To tell you I am too focus on looking for some WordPress theme online when it happened. So horror movies, stories, etc are not on my mind. I may be losing my mind, but I don’t know … I still feel sane now.

The smokes I was smelling before is now gone I think it did disapear after I had a post written about it. Check:

• Smelling the Smoke

• I am not the only one who could smell the smoke

Freaky…
