On Winning Giveaways

I started blogging since 2006 but I'm not that active. Before, it's just a means for me to express what i feel and what I want to share to this cyberworld. yet, as time goes by, blogging evolve, I was left behind. Now, I'm coping with it!

I'm an IT educator, and I'm so proud to know that my former high school students are doing well in blogging and they are far more better than me, you know! I, too, learn from them :) Blogging gave me the opportunity to widen my knowledge on fashion, cosmetics, arts and so much more. I gain online friends internationally. One thing I'm so excited about blogging as of this moment is joining giveaways from different blogging site. I never thought giveaways given online are so true until I myself experience winning :)

Just to share to you some of the winning moments I have:

F~R~I~E~N~D~S

According to http://www.thefreedictionary.com:  
1. A person whom one knows, likes, and trusts. 
2. A person whom one knows; an acquaintance. 
3. A person with whom one is allied in a struggle or cause; a comrade.

For me, a friend is someone you feel comfortable with; one whom you can freely share your thoughts may it be good or bad; one who sees the real you - and the one who can really tell the truth even if you will be hurt. That in the end of misunderstandings, petty fights, no matter how long you've been separated by distance and time, but when you cross path again, it seems just yesterday.

We choose our friends and categorize them in our own ways.. we have our acquaintances, friends in work, friends with benefits, friends during happy times, friends during bad times, close friends, best friends, etc.

No man is an island. We live in this world not for our own selves but for others as well.  There are things we can't do independently. No matter how aloof you are, call it loner, anti-social, kj, intrapersonal, silent person. You still owe something even for just one friend.

I am so fortunate and grateful that I have my so-called friends. Through the good and bad times I may not have them all at once but I never lack one :) I have always been blesses with friends I can say who have been true and real to me. I wanted to share them with you. They are just but few of my friends since i can't name all of them here. you may want to see a glimpse of some of them.

For those of you, who haven't seen your faces here and think of me as a friend, no worries, you are all kept inside my big ♥ -xoxo-

Those were the days when everything seem so carefree!
fun -  play - laughter

I have my high school barkadas and
they were my love life during those days:
the MACE Company :)

----------------------------------------------------------------------

High School life is the best!
After long years, we still manage to have
get-together parties and bonding moments!

----------------------------------------------------------------------

My truest friends till the end ... so thankful for them!
College life has become more meaningful if it weren't with them.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

You can't survive the Graduate Studies without a group to hold on!
Lucky me! I have them :)

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Life in Manila was so colorful...
Sometimes in lighter shades and there were darker shades.
They always have their backs on me!

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks to my mentors who helped me
become what I am now in my profession :)

----------------------------------------------------------------------

If you don't enjoy your work, then let it go!
Friends at work keep me sane and joyful :D

----------------------------------------------------------------------

We have separated lives but I am so thankful
having been blessed by their lives!

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Whenever, Wherever!
I have them to enjoy different places :)
So good to travel with friends!

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh my! My blogger friends who inspires me to express myself creatively!
Lucky to have them on cyberspace :)

L♥VE > Distance

Finally, i'm back to blogging :) ...been busy with other matters but i still do browse on other blogs since i find my fellow zamboanga bloggers' posts interesting and worth reading for. I have been thinking of what to post in my blog and not until now i finally decided to post something about me and a glimpse of what's going on with my life now.

Just got married last May this year /*you may visit my Wedding Diary*/ and it's been 3 months of blissful married life. One of the challenges I am encountering right now is having a long distance relationship. I wouldn't say it's a problem but a challenge for both of us. We have surpassed it on our bf-gf stage and now we are facing it again on the next level.

I know some of you have the same situation with me. Sleepless and crying nights. Loneliness. Doubts. But come to think of it, if the Love you have for your partner is far greater than the distance between you then you wouldn't feel sad the whole time.

We are so grateful right now that through technology we can bridge distance and show our love to our other half. Thanks to our cellphones that we can text and call them right away; Skype for the unlimited video in real-time face to face with your partner; Yahoo Messenger, Facebook, Email ... we will be able to share our captured moments and tell stories instantly.

We do have communication tools right now to help our relationship. But, most importantly: if we have that genuine LOVE | TRUST | PRAYER for each other. Lastly, having God as the center of both your lives, no man can put asunder.

Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear,
too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice,
but for those who love, time is eternity.
~Henry Van Dyke

How about you? Share your thoughts on Long Distance Relationships :)
I will be happy to hear from you!
