Nothing much happened for the days that passed. So I’m posting a photo of the recent cards I got (lol on me).
my ePrepaid BPI MasterCard — So my credit card will be officially for installment purposes only as long as I keep my ePrepaid loaded. :) I think this should be better. And don’t you just love its color??
Happyplus card — cos the bf and I frequent Jollibee a lot due to budget constraints! Lol. A Php50 purchase is equivalent to Php1 Happy point which when accumulated can be used to purchase anything they sell. Not just for Jollibee alone, it can also be used with Greenwich, Chowking, Red Ribbon and Mang Inasal. :)
I cant help but reblog these pretty pieces…
It’s not hard to decide what you want your life to be about. What’s hard, she said, is figuring out what you’re willing to give up in order to do the things you really care about.
A banig (woven) pouch from Ilocos that RV, an officemate and a friend, gave me. Sweet. I love it.
The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo
Search about this book and good reviews are here and there. It would cause you to be curious and eventually would want to read about Stieg Larsson’s said-to-be masterpiece. It was also adapted into a movie that garnered good reviews both in IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes.
More than a year ago, I have been drawn to read this book not by anyone but by this book’s title when I chanced upon it inside a bookstore. I only got hold of it late last year, and began reading it last Friday. I would not deny the fact that I was still enthralled by this book despite the lack of depth and the blunt style of writing. It was rather easy to read and turning the pages is not hard to do, which in my case is usually caused by my average comprehension skills. Maybe it’s just my Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys childhood that the plot seemed predictable. I wasn’t amazed nor amused by any supposed-to-be revelation. But I have to give it credit for the character Lisbeth Salander. I’m just into mystery-loving, specifically female, characters. Add the wallflowery image of her.
But unlike the harsh bashers of this book, I don’t think I wasted my time reading it.
Things we lose have a way of coming back to us in the end, if not always in the way we expect.

Keep moving—that was his motto. Don’t dwell on things. Don’t stay in one place too long. It was the only way to stay ahead of the sadness.

“Because if grace is water, then the church should be an ocean. It’s not a museum for good people, it’s a hospital for the broken which means I don’t have to hide my failure, I don’t have to hide my sin because it doesn’t depend on me it depends on Him. See because when I was God’s enemy and certainly not a fan, He looked down and said I want, that, man. Religion is man searching for God, Christianity is God searching for man. Which is why salvation is freely mine, and forgiveness is my own, not based on my merits but Jesus’ obedience alone. Because he took the crown of thorns, and the blood dripped down his face, He took what we all deserved, I guess that’s why you call it grace. And while being murdered, he yelled, “Father forgive them they know not what they do.” Because when he was dangling on that cross, he was thinking of you.”
There is so much about my fate that I cannot control, but other things do fall under the jurisdiction. I can decide how I spend my time, whom I interact with, whom I share my body and life and money and energy with. I can select what I can read and eat and study. I can choose how I’m going to regard unfortunate circumstances in my life-whether I will see them as curses or opportunities. I can choose my words and the tone of voice in which I speak to others. And most of all, I can choose my thoughts.
You must write every single day of your life. You must lurk in libraries and climb the stacks like ladders to sniff books like perfumes and wear books like hats upon your crazy heads. May you be in love every day for the next 20,000 days. And out of that love, remake a world.
The moment when you first wake up in the morning is the most wonderful of the twenty-four hours. No matter how weary or dreary you may feel, you possess the certainty that, during the day that lies before you, absolutely anything may happen. And the fact that it practically always doesn’t, matters not a jot. The possibility is always there.
Merie. I can be weird as how my name is misspelled. A TYPE 4 Enneagram. Sentimental freak. Tragic Romantic. Individualist. No ordinary. Faith in God fuels me. Loves making lists and crossing them out eventually. Fireworks, chocolates and ice-blended coffee make my day. Shopping is a necessity.
