blessed_shaula

Oh my gosh! I finally saw myself up in the sky!

I knew it…. it was really me..me..me!

I finally saw it! It’s indeed a magnificent star.

Well… it’s the 21st brightest star in the entire sky!

I think I’m beginning to love this star though it literally means stinger

i’M SO fortunate to see SHAULA last night.. i’m not yet into astronomy but I was able to recognize it

The very moment i’ve climbed up to that roof I felt a rush in me..

then the moment i looked up… i looked at stars as if i can see the lines connecting them

it was my first time to experience it since i still need Astronomy For Dummies..hahaha

I really thought it’s still impossible for me to see my beloved star!

BUt here it is! Right before my eyes!

I think I wanna go up the roof and star gaze again!

Adios!

Eversince, i’m already  aware of where my name came from. My mom used to tell me when I was little that my dad got my name from a star. Actually, my brother’s name also came from this list of stars that my dad had.

It has always been a pleasure to me whenever I get compliments for my unique name. So when there came a time that I met someone with the same name as mine… I was really furious inside!!! Can you imagine having someone sharing your name… it’s good that her spelling is SHAOLA GALE. Mine is still the best… haha! SHAULA GAIL has been the best name i’ve encountered so far!lolol

My dark side is really starting to show off right now… haha

I think that was 4 years ago… I met this girl in Calapan..in the school where I transferred to.. in one of my classes. I really felt surprised and embarrassed when I stood up when the teacher mentioned my name but then somebody else was also claiming to be Shaula. I was in denial that I had to share my beautiful name with someone else. I felt it’s unfair! I’m older than her and I had a reputation. My name should only be for me… But of course, God fixes our hearts. I started to accept the fact that i’m self-centered and madamot!haha

Today, I learned what my name ,Shaula, literally means. And I just can’t accept it just as I couldn’t accept the fact that there’s someone else named Shaula the first time i learned about it. All along I’ve been proud of my name.. only to find out that it means a STINGER! Whaahhhhhh!

It’s part of the constellation Scorpious. It’s the star at the tip of this scorpion’s  tail. I wonder why of all the names…. my name has to be Shaula? Back at the Bible times, names demonstrate its bearer’s personality or calling or it just describes its bearer in general.

I wonder if my name has really something to do with me or my personality or my calling.

A stinger? Wwhy????????

Am i deadly? or can i make someone numb?  what good can you think of from a stinger?

Well…. i guess i just have to be the person I really am no matter what my name entails. Who knows? maybe there’s also something good a stinger can do! haha

But you know what… I’m really a stinger in a sense that, intentional or not, i stir up minds or emotions of those around me. Sometimes even my own! Most of the time.. I would also say.. "me and my big mouth"! hahahaha

Well… names will just be names…

but i still believe that nothing happened just out of accident.

well…well…

I finally have the time for this. How I miss just pouring out anything that goes out of my mind in here. It’s kinda relaxing and fulfilling.

Summer is already halfway. Just another month to go and my glory days are over! But at least I’m able to make the most of my opportunities. So far, I can no longer remember how many times I’ve travelled just to fulfill my commitments. This summer is a lot more hectic yet exciting than last year’s. I hope the finale of this year’s summer would be an out of the country travel already. Oh God… please save a slot for me for that Malaysia trip.

Anyway… this summer is really a costly one. But God has provided my every need in ways that I ‘ve never imagined or asked for. God’s ways are indeed higher than mine. He always provide and work things out for me.

I guess the theme for this summer would be SACRIFICE

God has been teaching me a lot about it and yet He’s been blessing me tremendously

Amidst of all the hassles of travel… He’s been sustaining my health. I guess I’m really learning to give up my comfort and money for God’s glory. It’s really very fulfilling.

God is really really good and He answers prayers. Every prayer i uttered is already answered. God has really been so gracious to me and my family.

Anyway, about the things that I’ve been doing lately…

traveling and reading a lot… they go together! haha

it’s already unusual for me to stay at one place. I’m no longer used at staying at home. I have to go out even for a while or I’ll go crazy..haha

what else i’ve been doing..hmmm..

i attended a lot of seminar/conference

teaching at VBS

I volunteered on a medical mission

went up to the Prayer MOUntain( and i will continue to do so this May)

doing a lot of stuffs when I’m home.. cleaning, cooking, guitar playing, scrapbooking and a lot of other crafts, star gazing, of course listening to music..etc!

This is indeed a fantastic summer… pagbabayaran ko nga lang ng mahal to. HAHAHA

My schedule for the rest of my remaning semesters at Perps will be hectic. But it’s ok. I’m used with it:)

Now I’m here in Manila… and as usual… i still always go out!:)

Today I went back to Divisoria to buy the stuffs for VBS and Mother’s Day celebration. It was fun! I love bargain hunting..:)

On wednesday I’ll be traveling back to Calapan again…

haaayy.. It’s good that God has made me this way… that it’s so natural for me to travel. I basically love it whether it’s for leisure or serious business.

that would be all for now..

adios!
