Beautiful Journey » Friendship

Angel

I attended a baptism ceremony last Sunday. As I was watching my friend carry her baby I saw the happiness and the glow on her face. I felt happy for her. Gone are the days when prenatal vitamins was all she took. Ok, that’s exaggerated. Well, that’s what I see her take every time when she was still carrying the baby inside her. And now those days payed off. I see a beautiful angel on her arms. And it’s quite a pleasurable sight to watch.

Gold!

Michelle Angelie — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 12:55:28 +0000

In fire gold is tested. One way to make your gold pure is to put it in furnace and let it melt. You get the alloys out and there, you’ll have pure gold. How much is the price of gold ? It’s pretty expensive because you need a lot of hard work to be able to spot gold . You can’t just get it anywhere. Gold spot is so hard to find. No wonder gold prices are very expensive. And that goes the same with any treasure. You need to spot it and purify it in the fiery furnace to be able to take out its impurities. It would take a lot of patience and hard work to get hold of that treasure. Gold price may vary. And so does every treasure we have. It depends on how much we invested on it. How long we found it and how pure it is. I may be referring to a real gold here. But this can also be a metaphor. May it be a real gold or may it be a person. The same principle applies. So if you have that gold in your hand right now, treasure it. It’s priceless. Unless you got it by accident and it just fell from heaven. Remember, it’s not worth anything if you did not invest any pain into it.

Generosity

Give and it shall come back to you. I always believe in that. I know of somebody that could be a living testimony of this principle. Because of the couple’s generosity, what used to be a simple home has now become an awe inspiring house that is still by the way open to friends not because they wanted to show off their Quoizel lighting but because they accommodate us everytime we have a band practice for church. And that includes a sumptuouse meal everytime. Thanks to you.

Amidst Adversity

Michelle Angelie — Thu, 20 May 2010 10:13:19 +0000

I was and am feeling down these past few days. There has been a lot of drama, pains heartaches, tears you name it that I went through this week. I am slowly coping. And after a few days of being in solitude, I decided to write again. Maybe this will help me ease the pain a little bit. So, I started to search online for some nice things to say in my post. I found a costume jewelry that reminded me of someone. I have a friend who just gave birth, but I never visited her or even called her because I was so preoccupied with my own snuffling. I remembered her suddenly because she used to make earrings and bracelets and sell it at work. It was a good reminder for me. Friends are important. I felt that these few days. The comfort of a friend, even if they are geographically unreachable, but you know that they are just there. They just popped up from nowhere when they heard that you are down. Gives you encouraging words, and sustain that little strength that is left in you. But friends should not just be there when you are down. You need to be with them too and share their joy. And that’s what I am doing now. In spite of weariness, I’m literally now grabbing my phone and call my friend and congratulate her for her new born baby. Amidst diversity, I am able to share joy. Wonderful!

Just A Facebook Away

Michelle Angelie — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 10:37:49 +0000

I did not have lots of assignments lately (writing articles) and don’t have a deadline to meet so I had a lot of time to browse through Facebook and other social networking sites. I saw old friends who has already migrated to another country, got married and have kids and all. I could not help it but smile as I reminisce those days. Those kids stuff we did together. Or those humiliating things we did as a teenager. I recalled. I wanted to call a postcard mailing services right now and would want to send each a postcard and tell them that I still remember them and wish they still remember me too. I am glad I have new found friends right now. And I am happy that I also share fun memories with them. So I am not lonely at all. But I just can’t help but thank God to the people who invented the internet. It’s so easy to locate lost friends already and get in touch with them again. Now I don’t have to worry if one day, I part ways with my friends. Because before if I used to say, I’m just a phone call away, now I can say, I’m just a Facebook away. It ma y sound funny but this technology is such a great blessing especially if the person that miss is your best friend or somebody who is special to you.

Being a Friend

Michelle Angelie — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 06:49:53 +0000

I have lots of single friends at work. I seldom become their shock absorber when they have crushes and all. Sometimes people come to me and ask for some advises on how to make a relationship work or something. It’s not because I am a love doctor or something like that, but it’s because I am married and being one made my single friends think that I am an expert. I just let them be. But for those singles who is desperate to get into a relationship, I usually recommend to them www.connectingsingles.com. I understand them because I was a single once. It made me feel happy if I am able to help out a friend. I love it especially when I make my friends happy. Most often than not, I get excited every time I have a friend who falls in love. But I also would make sure that I would also be around if they feel down as well. Make advises ready for them in case they need it already. I just love the feeling that my ideas and advices are needed and would always count. Or by simply being there and just listen. It gives me a different kind of satisfaction and fulfillment.

Thank You Friend…

One way or the other, we always encounter storms in our life. Those people whom we least expect to be our friends suddenly become our shock absorber. I can never thank God enough for friends who stood by me when I was down. Those who don’t even bother to question my insanity but was just simply there and listened. For the first time in 3 days since the storm struck, today was my first time to cry. I cried and let all those unwanted feeling out from my system. My eyes right now is swelling a little bit. I am planning to wear an eye glasses to work later. Wish I had one that would hide these swollen eyes. One that would make me look happy in spite of what I am going through. Wish I can crawl under the table and snuggle myself there until this storm goes away. But I am little bit OK now though. Now that I have cried, I know I can move on. Once again, thanks to my friends who never left me, even to friends who did not know I am in a storm, but managed to make me laugh, you never know how much you made me feel better. Thank you!

Soon…

My friends and I went to the mall yesterday. We went window shopping after dinner. As we were on the dress section, one of my friends commented that she could not wait for another corporate affair in our company so she can buy the dress. I enjoy those days as well. Seeing ladies in their beautiful dresses and guys with their bow ties. Well, we might not just notice it but Christmas party would just come soon.

Unwanted Calories…Out!

Michelle Angelie — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 04:36:30 +0000

Coming from our Management Strategic Planning last Saturday until yesterday afternoon I know I gained a lot of those unwanted calories. Plus when I got home, my friends went out to eat at AA’s Grill to celebrate the success of my friend Louie who passed the recent nursing board exam. When I woke up today, I felt so heavy with all those eating since Saturday. I am tempted already to take ephedra diet pills. Can I?

Girly stuff

Michelle Angelie — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 10:48:50 +0000

I got a bonus. I had extra money today so I met with my husband at the mall to eat lunch with him. I asked my friend to come along and she did. After lunch, my husband went home ahead because he needed to attend to our son’s PTA meeting. So my friend and I planned to go window shopping for her coming baby. In 3 months she will become a mother. But the plan did not push through for we ended up shopping for beauty stuff. We were checking out some whitening lotion, checked out the best anti wrinkle cream, the most scented body wash and all that girly stuff. I enjoyed it and the amount I spent today did not matter anymore.
