Throughout our life we have had instances that the situation was kinda not in favor of our agenda, where sometimes you feel that everything is unfair, where you feel isolated and abandoned and no one is on the rescue, that you feel that the whole world is against and ran away from you or will fall upon you, that you're downtrodden and you're all alone, and many more instances that makes your life difficult. But always remember that all these happens for a reason.
God will often use negative situation in life in order to develop within His children a greater resolve, refinement, and maturity (James 1:3; Romans 5:3-4). Whenever sovereignty allows something that is not pleasant, always remember that it is also not random. It was allowed for a reason. God always has a reason for what He does to us, or for what He allows us. As Lamentations 3:32 tells us, "For if He causes grief, then He will have compassion according to His abundant loving kindedness".
We can understand this passage better when we reflect on it through the lens of a parent. If you are a parent and have ever disciplined one of your children, you know that the grief caused in the method of discipline was not intended for the purpose of hurting your child. If your child was grounded from attending any fun activities due to disobedience to you, you chose that form of punishment in order to teach your child a greater lesson. This greater lesson was also sought out with the intention of it keeping your child from future harm. The discipline is never fun, loving parents will always follow it up with compassion.
Similarly, God does not discipline us out of a spirit of meanness or malice. His discipline of His children comes couched with compassion and the desire for us to mature such a degree that we keep from needing further discipline in the future.

Threesome
Don't know what to blog today. My mind is a little void right now. I am at work right now but I don't really feel good. It is my second day today but it seems that I have worked for a week. I am tight and tense.
They say that when you're tense you need to unwind somewhere or get some sex. Hehehe. Believe me both recommendations doesn't work either. Ain't getting enough though, I guess.
Well, I met a young guy (no description. I will leave that to you) today from Las Vegas at a new hotel in downtown Los Angeles along 7th Street. We talked for a while and then we passionately had sex. I was so eager and excited to do it because it's been a while (since it's still Covid19 lockdown). He was well endowed but I painlessly took it.
Then in about 30 minutes someone came surprisingly. I didn't know that he called his friend. He is very young somewhat like 18. He is also well endowed. My God, they both shared my tight hole and I was a little bit stretched out. It was a wild encounter!
I've been aggressively tossed all over the bed like a pillow possessively owned by someone. It was really a torrid and passionate love making. I left the hotel fulfilled and satisfied. The Vegas guy told me that they will be checking out at 1PM today and head back to Las Vegas.
My.... this was an unexpectedly once a lifetime experience. It was my first time! I was tired after that.
So who says that when you're tense get some sex? It doesn't work guys. It will still linger after several hours and you'll feel so tired and tense but the fulfillment gives you something to cherish.
I am at work right now and I am very tired. Haist...... (dreaming) on that unexpected tryst today was unforgettable. It's my first time after all, and maybe my last time. Who knows!

Idle Days
It's been 2 days that I have not walked. I felt so idle.
Monday after work, I left the facility and it was raining and pouring hard. I have to take my umbrella (the cheap one I bought in Barcelona) and have to use it to protect myself from getting wet. When I got home it was still raining so I have to hold on on my daily walking routine. I just lifted some weights in front of the mirror and decided to cook. I am off that day.
I slept at around noontime and that lasted until 8PM. I was feeling groggy when I woke up. I felt that I needed to walk but it seems that it was still raining outside. So I decided to eat and then watched Netflix. I watched the movie titled "The King's Letter". It was a good movie with 6 episodes and I got real excited every time I have to move forward. The ending was great. I loved it.
I went asleep at 3AM and then woke up at 7AM but not feeling pumped to walk despite the rain had dissipated already. I guess I just wanted not to wet my shoes. Hahaha. But honestly, I was feeling real lazy today plus I have to do my laundry but ended up not doing it because I was feeling lazy. All I did was just lay down on my bed, and scanned the Facebook and Instagram for new updates.
I was idle for 2 days and had not walked for those days which I have marked on my daily walking routine planner.
I am on my 4th week of daily walking and I am tracking all my progress. I felt that my metabolism was stabilized and that I felt light lately. That means that probably I lost some weights. I haven't weighed myself yet but I am intending to mark it on my notes every week starting this week.
No matter how slow or fast it is, I will still have to be contented with it. Hopefully, I will not give up on this plan and that God will be with me all through out.
Some laxity in my routines maybe were just diversions but I hope I won't succumbed to it. In the end, it is I who will decide on what to do. So God please be with me on this journey. Thank you!

My Addiction
Haist..... I am so worried having scanned the social media when I am alone lying on my bed because all I do is to browse some really good sales. And that is what I am afraid of. It is so addicting especially when the sale is really marked down.
This is the compulsion that I cannot stop. Once I am enticed by the products and I liked it I will buy it ASAP. A cup of tea that I cannot get rid of. It was really a struggle for me to curtail this habit.
I think I just have to desensitized myself from browsing off the ads in the social media and maybe lessen my viewing hours. I guess t will be difficult but I have to try it because if I don't my financial budget will be affected greatly. In the end, it will be me who can stop this problem.
Just like any kind of addiction, the subject needs to distance himself from the trigger and do as much as possible not to come near it. And he must have a will to stop the habit because it is him who can end the practice. I don't know but generally this is the norm and practice.
Please pray for me to take this challenge so that I have a will to stop the cycle. If there's a will there's a way! And I believe that I can do it. So help me God!

Urban Walking
Been walking for two weeks daily around the neighborhood since the gym and the local parks are close. I got use to zigzagging the block in the neighborhood for several times to complete my lapse. I think this is the modern way of doing physical training in this covid19 times. Not much to do so I have to walk around to loose some weights and maintain my metabolism at the highest.
I find it enjoyable and fun walking on the sidewalks and not meeting not much people because they stay at home as mandated by the mayor and the governor. It's been hard at this time because some people has no work and no money to buy food for the table. I was fortunate enough that I still held my job as a nurse and a frontliner. But the danger is upon us as well if we're not that careful.
The virus does not discriminate and we have to double up our vigilance and extra precautions. Good thing the mayor had mandated for all people that get out of the house to wear mask. Now mask is required in public places here in Los Angeles.
Going back to my daily walks, it gave me time to pray as I walk and to be near with the Lord. I always praise God when I am walking and it is very uplifting. I felt that I am not alone. I felt that as I struggle keeping off my weight God is always there to help me and inspire me to do extra mile in my exercises.
I am not rushing for results. I know that the results will come gradually and that I am assured of God's guidance on what to do. It reminded me of my relationship with God. That I have to be patient for the answers in all my prayers and not to rush God for it.
I am envisioning how will I look in 2 or 3 months time. And I am sure all my efforts will be rewarded if I will not slack on this. Lord God please help me do this as a habit and that I will not tire easily in doing it.
I observed every day that as I walk my energy was being heightened and that I won't stop walking but if I felt sore I knew that the lactic acid will discourage me to do it so I make sure I have an anti-inflammatory handy for me.
I guess, urban walking is the trend nowadays and I've had seen some people doing it as well. With the rampant scare about covid19 I guess it will take sometime for offices, schools, restaurants, etc. to open or operate fully just like before. And as the president has his tantrums regarding the management outcome of his cabinet members regarding this covid19 thing most likely the chance of going back to normal is nil.
But I am not complaining. I am just wary about those people who lost their jobs of got laid off because their employer had to do it for a rational reason. It I snot understandable to others but it has to be done.
I'll just pray to the Lord God that this will be over soon and that everything will get back to normal which I doubt will be the same again. So much was been affected and so much had had happened. Mortality was high and infection was even exorbitant.
I guess all these had happened for a reason as well. And that we have to be mindful of our planet, the place we live in. During the month long lockdown, places around the world had lowered their pollution index as there were less people using transportation which emits carbon dioxide. NASA had noticed that the earth had healed himself gradually because of less carbon emissions in the atmosphere. And this is a good news.
Unfortunately, the toll of mortality around the world had reached past quarter of a million and this were an unprecedented moment that people will not forget and remember forever. The scar that the virus had left was deep and is difficult to heal and forget. But we must look forward and not look backwards for the bitter memory. Thank you.

Impulsiveness vs Compulsiveness
I am a person who don’t have a feeling of satisfaction. If I like a certain thing, I have to get it. So I buy it! That’s how impulsive I am. I can’t help it! Could it be that I am compulsive, too? I don’t know!
Since I talked about this, let me see what is the meaning of both:
Impulsivity - a problem with emotionql or behavioral self-control; an act on instinct without thinking decisions through; a short, quick feelings; a habit of acting on something.
Compulsion - an irresistible urge to behave in a certain way especially against one’s conscious wishes, the one that is irrational or contrary to one’s will.
Lately, I’ve been shopping online and had bought designer stuffs like bags, watch, shoes, necklaces, etc. I mean I bought it because I like it. The feeling that I like it and for that it will look good for me.
I mean, I have no regrets buying those things not because I can afford them but also the fact that I needed to trear myself sometimes.
Yes, I am a cery impulsive person. Everything is uncalculated, unchartable, and unpredictable. Everything that I like I will have it. And who else has this kind of bad habit? Then after buying it I will regret and comtemplate why I bought them in the first place.
Why I bought such thing? I really have to get rid of this bad habit. It’s so addicting.

Lab Day
I got a call from my MD the other day telling me that I needed to go to lab for my blood draw. I think it’s the final test to see if the medication Epclusa totally eliminated the virus in my liver.
I woke up early at 0630H, and did my daily walk around the neighborhood for an hour, then went home to get a warm shower. I felt soon good with the walk and had helped me losing down the tensions in my back. I felt a little bit rejuvenated but not totally.
After the bath, I changed for my casual clothes and just grabbed some banana and drank coffee. Good thing my lab draw doesn’t require me to fast.
I left the house at 0800H and then drove towards Kaiser Hospital in Sunset Blvd. to have my lab drawn.
When I got to the hospital, I they checked my temperature and asked me where I’m going. I told them on the third floor lab department. They let me in cuz my temperature was ok. I took the elevator up to third floor and arrived at the lab. The room was not that pack soon I lined ip at the queue which had markers indicating where to stand. They were onserving ‘social distancing’ policy for the covid19 guidelines.
When it was my turn, I went to the window and was greeted by the staff. They took my ID, stamped it and then gave me a number. My number was 265. They called me after several minutes and then the lady staff took my blood from my right antecubital fossa.
I left the facility after my blood was drawn, went to a Filipino restaurant to buy some good breakfast but apparently it is closed soon I decided to how to Jollibee drive thru since they are already open that time.
I bought 1 palabok with chicken, 1 spaghetti with chicken ( for my work tonight), 2 ube pies, and 1 medium drink. I went home and ate the palabok then saved the spaghetti for my work tonight.

Daily Routines
Today was just a usual day for me. I typically got up at 0600H and getting ready for my daily walk.
I was off yesterday, and all I did was to sleep to regain my energy from working 3-days straight. I was so beat up and the moment I laid down my bed, I fell asleep right away like a hypnotized patient at the hypnotist's office sans the swinging round metal ball ala wrecking ball. Hahaha.
I was so energized after the walk that I got hungry. In as much as I wanted to cook, I felt lazy today. I just ate a banana, drank some orange Tang and steamed the ready made gyoza dumplings I bought from Hongkong Supermarket, a Korean supermarket. It was a delicious spicy treat which I dipped in kalamansi-soy sauce mix. Yummy indeed!
After that, I washed the dishes, and wash my face and then moisturized it. Then I went at the porch to read my daily Bible verses. Today's topic was about finding a friend and it was very informative and inspiring. I had a daily dose of God's words and I always see to it that I am walking the talk from the Bible.
At 11:30AM I went to bed to rest for I will be working tonight 7P-7A. I need to get some sleep before going to work.
I woke up at 4:30PM and changed then left the house at 5:30 and arrived at work at 6:10PM. The traffic was not that bad.
I am at work now and blogged my daily doses of God's words and my activities as well. Thanks for reading and following my blog. May you have a nice day! Ciao!

Perseverance vs Procrastination
Good morning! My day yesterday was just fine. After I got out from work, I headed home and then was battling if I will walk or just go to bed. I was pretty much dead beat after changing my scrubs but still I decided to walk instead of just laying there on the bed.
Instead of procrastinating, I have to push myself to achieve my goals and to walk it is. Hehehe....
Life doesn't stop, it is an ever changing process and we have to savor every moment of it for good and for bad. We have to do our best to achieve our goals. Despite of our efforts there is always some instances that will hinder your goals and it depends on you on how to deal with it.
As I kept walking around the neighborhood, the feeling of tiredness had dissipated instantly and all of a sudden I was so perked up to keep going. I decided to just do it for five rounds instead of the usual 10 rounds. Anyway, it is better than just doing without nothing and not achieving my target that day.
I knew that I have to have a lot of patience in order to achieve success so I just have to continue doing it until my body get used to it. I am hopeful that I will continue doing this as a health lifestyle.
In the end, I am the one benefitting from it and I will be a happy person. My mom always said, "Always always remember, you are not in that position of yours if you did not persevere." That's when I became valedictorian during my elementary and high school days.
Yes indeed! Always persevere to reap you reward and reject procrastination that ruins your goals. Keep dreaming and do it confidently by heart.

Impulsive Me
I hate myself today. I hate this impulsiveness. Why am I always obsessive to pendants and necklaces? I am not very practical and when it comes to some things that I like I always splurge myself. I wish I could get rid of this habit. It is really hard.
If you added all my online transaction since last year, maybe you'll say that I am crazy. Yes, I am indeed crazy having spent thousands of dollars every time I go shopping online. I just couldn't hold it. Maybe because I felt that I am secure because I still have a job, where I can spend my earnings.
Honestly, I just wanted to save money and go on a grand vacation. I felt that I'm old now and that I wanted to visit all these places that I planned to go before my memory fades away.
Hopefully, Lord please help me curb this habit. I am willing to cooperate no matter how much a like a thing and give it up. Haist.... please make me stronger and have courage, guts, and will to stop this nasty habit. And I'm willing to start from square.
I have a lot of collections now, jewelries, clothes, bags, shoes, and all I wanted is to stop this impulsive buying.
I guess, I have to be more determined in stopping it and really try to lessen it at the most. I really have to do this for myself so that I can save more money for the future. I just don't want my money go to waste. And hopefully, this will be curtailed early on.

Rocking The Boat
I woke up so renewed today from a long slumber. I had enough sleep so my spirit just screams to get out of bed and be physically moving. So I got up from bed, washed my face, and brushed my teeth. I warmed the electric kettle and sipped a little bit of instant coffee.
I remember when I was little, my father usually told us to drink warm water after getting up from bed in the morning. The reason about it......at that timr .... I don't know. He didn't even bother to give us the rationale why.
When I was in McAllen, Texas, I remember doing the walking exercise every morning at the park near my apartment and just ate high protein foods (Atkin’s diet) and I looked very healthy and well muscled that time.
Right now, I just wanted to do the same thing and see if it will be effective just like in the past for my alowing age. I'm already 50 years old, so I guess the process will be slow. I hope I have the patience to wait for the good results.
I am a person who wants the result immediately. But on this type of goal it entails a lot of waiting, patience, dedication, and will power to do it. I know I am just starting this plan and I am willing to wait. Hopefully, it will be a success. Oh God, please be with me. Thank you.

But later on, when I was mature enough, I found out that warm water will help your core temperature in regulating your body circulation well from the whole night's inactivity. It promotes vasodilation to your arteries and veins for more effective blood flow.
Whereas, if you drink cold water, the one thing that will happen is..... it will narrow or constrict your veins and arteries thereby the body circulation is being slowed down because the circulatory passages becomes too narrow and eventually impedes the blood flow.
After hurriedly enjoying the morning coffee, I put on my black Nike shorts, my overuse running shoes, and my gray thin hooded sweater and of course the ever needed mask then ambled around my neighborhood.

This is the second day now of my goal. I had planned to do it for a month and see the changes it will do after 30 days. I know brisk walking is a good cardio exercise and also can help lose some unwanted pounds.

In His Time
It is my off yesterday, and I literally slept for 12 hours. I woke up at 3am feeling hungry all to know that my fridge has only a jar of kimchi and my pantry has ramen noodles. I don’t want to cook on this wee hours so I just turned on my electric kettle and boil some water for the noodles.
I was reading some verses in the Bible and came across Psalm 31:24 saying; ‘Be strong and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for the Lord!’
A verse so apt for this pandemic times. It asks me for three questions:
Firstly, ‘Why we have to wait?’ Yes, why does we have to wait for the time that this pandemic will zero out itself. It just test our patience and resilience. God is always true to us and if we can wait we can enjoy the benefits of our patience. I always believe that there is always a reason why things happens and we just have to trust God all the more.
Secondly, ‘Why did God test us?’ Which goes back to the question, ‘What do we get for waiting too long?’ Which then questions your patience and faith. There’s a reason why they say that patience is a virtue and that is to maintain your calm and faith in God. God test our faith that’s why He wants us to wait for the right time. Some of us became too impatient, insistent and demanding and blame God for their mistakes and wrong decisions. The more you wait the more your faith is tested.
Thirdly, ‘What does waiting entails for?’ Simply, it entails us to wait for the right time and strengthen your faith in Him because everything happens with a reason. The things that happens right now has its ending and God will never abandon us if we have faith in Him.
Another reflection for me of the word of God. I am happy to do this everyday and it positively stimulates my mind to think of ways on how to exult God as my savior. Peace!
