My First PUSO Day

I am 35, single (technically)  who have been asked numerous times every February of my life this same generic and sometimes annoying question of what will I do on the 14th? Normally my answer would just be a smile but this year is different. I have an answer, we have an all-girls-sleep-over partey!!!

Last Feb14 (on a Friday, Payday, Valentines), while the Metro is cursed with heavy traffic both on streets and in trains (ya! people-traffic), I stayed at home the whole day to prepare for the night. My housemates and I, invited our girl friends to have a Valentines party at home and we called it P.U.S.O. Don't ask me what the acronym mean because I keep forgetting, the S though stands for Singles. See my pang-elementary wall decor...We even have our Love wall...


Anyway, the ladies started coming by 5pm. The program was simple: eat, have a game and movie marathon. We had dinner, talked, laughed and ate as much sweets as we wanted (imagine 10+ women talking and laughing...thanks to the sugar rush. It was a riot!) The night was "young" and no one can eat more pasta or chicken or donuts thus, the movie marathon. The group chose Pride and Prejudice, the old 4-hour TV Series in BBC. What a way to celebrate Heart's Day, be overwhelmed with hearty words of Mr. Darsy. 

The story of P&P never fails to amuse the audience with sizzle of how a man turns head over heels to a woman.

Proverbs 30:18-19 says:
Three things are too wonderful for me;
four I do not understand:
the way of an eagle in the sky
the way of a serpent on a rock,
the way of a ship on the high seas,
and the way of a man with a virgin.

Most of the girls who came to the party are christian single who are happy and contented in the Lord but also waiting for His blessing of a godly man to come, their own 'Mr. Darsy', God-willing.   

As for me, this is my first February 14 with a boyfriend. (Ya, I know count my age hihi...) He surprised me by delivering himself at home the most beautiful bouquet of flowers, yummiest donuts and dark chocolates I ever received on this special day. I blushed as I received them...darn!

Earlier, I hoped he'd do something but I prepared myself not to expect then it came. Thank you, Love. This is my first PUSO Day. 

I wanna sing lala lala lala means...


Past midnight came but the movie was not yet over. As my eyes couldn't hold it any longer, I dozed off earlier than the ladies. During breakfast I've learned that they slept at 5am. :) Let's do this again, soon!

Covid19 and Jesus

A friend shared two links to me this morning. Both are about thoughts about Covid19 from known Christian leaders. See links below: https://www.desiringgod.org/interviews/how-do-we-make-sense-of-the-coronavirus https://albertmohler.com/2020/02/27/briefing-2-27-20 John Piper and Albert Mohler shared what I have been thinking about these past weeks, to understand God's will over the global spread of the virus. In my head, is this part of God's wrath in the end times? I am trying to recall, is there a prophecy that God will inflict many of disease so they would repent?  I can try looking up for bible verses but listening to the two links, I realized two key messages: Believe in God Life is like a vapor   Point 1: Believe in God In times of trouble our minds is the constant target of Satan to sow fear and doubts. Hearing this reminder is encouraging me to keep a mind that trusts in Jesus:    Piper said "Jesus has all knowledge and all authority ov...

Top 10 Ang Pinaka Pasaway sa Facebook

Last Sunday I watched QTV's Ang Pinaka and couldn't help but laugh and agree with some or most of the reasons why people are 'pasaway' in FB.

So guys, here it is the Top 10 Ang Pinaka Pasaway sa FB  10. The Sympathy Baiter - posting comments that are too emo, inviting attention to self 9.
