God what will I do?

So don't try to get out of anything prematurely... James 1:2-4

Monday night, I wanted to resign and I remembered that in every decision, I must learn to consult that decision to God, first.  And so I asked God and even typed it in my notepad, God what will I do?

Few minutes later, my friend in the office gave me a gift and I opened it, it was a book.  I was intrigued because I found the cover appealing and I saw Nikki Gil's name on the cover.

Merry Moon

End this joyful day by looking up and I mean it literally.

It is full moon tonight.  I do not have those sophisticated lens to capture it but I have a binocular from my father.

It was beautiful and inspiring to look at.

According to NASA and CNN, the next yuletide moon is going to happen in 2034.

Caricature

A very personal gift I will treasure.

I used to give my friends caricatures/ illustrations of them but it was my first time to receive a caricature - of my image - from a friend.  

Hmmmmm so this is how it feels.  Nakakatuwa pala.

My window/wall for these special artworks.

29th

Good food + coffee + family - that is my idea of a joyful celebration.  

God has been blessing me with so much gifts and surprises this year that I felt that I have been celebrating my birthday since October.

Thank you God for another beautiful year.
