Prayer to Holy Spirit

Holy Spirit thou who make me see everything and show me the way to reach my ideal. You who give me the divine gift to forgive and forget the wrong that is done to me and who are in all instances of my life with me. I, in this short dialogue, want to thank you for everything and confirm once more that I never want to be separated from You no matter how great the material desires may be, I want to be with you and my loved ones in Your perpetual glory. Amen.

***Person must pray this 3 consecutive days without stating one's wish. After 3rd day, your wish will be granted no matter how difficult it may be. Promise to publish this soon as your favor has been granted.***

Rihanna & Chris Brown Concert in Manila

I watched the concert of Rihanna & Chris Brown on last Nov. 16, 2008 at 8pm held at the Fort Bonifacio open field. It was awesome! Though, it was a standing only event we still had a blast. They said that the event was packed with around 70,000 spectators and if it was for real - that's unbelievable! Anyway, CB was the 1st to perform at exactly 8pm; he entertained the crowd with the hits like, closer, forever, no air, with you, yo! and hits from Michael Jackson. He was such an exciting guy to watch. He was full of energy and his performance was really superb. Around 9pm his rendition was over and the crowd was entertained by a fireworks display to give way to the 2nd performer. On the other hand, Rihanna was more sensual and soultry. Her excellent singing voice really put the crowd on their feet especially when she delighted everyone with "disturbia". I like also "I hate that I love you"...before everything was over...she performed her most popular single "umbrella" along with Chris Brown. For the price of Php1500 - silver tickets, I think it was already a great deal. The only downside is, parking was jumpacked and traffic rerouting was done poorly. But overall, the concert was great and I hope to see more major artists come to the Philippines.

When will I ever sleep soundly?

After watching the concert of Chris Brown and Rihanna, I find myself restless but I couldn't shut down my brain. I have been turning in bed in hopes of getting enough sleep. But, as I try harder...I just couldn't get a nice nap. Anxieties start to pop-up...things like, when will I get my papers for me to go back abroad? when will I make peace with my special someone? when will I payback my debts? These things seem small and simple but they haunt me. I think I'm in the verge of having anxiety attacks. Maybe I just need to rethink my life and act on it. I know myself to be a fighter, an optimist, a faithful being to my creator. They say "ask and you shall receive"...I pray to God to give me strength...hope and endurance to keep up with these daily struggles. If I give them all up, perhaps I'll get that well-deserved sleep I am craving for.
