Living the dream

I have to hand it Caris for being available when I needed to talk (or in this case, chat) with her.

There we were, in two of the best cities in the world- she in NY and me in London- chatting away while we were both at work (bukinG!).

And yet, while we've been living the dream, I think the world has challenged us to dream bigger dreams.

I'm going through a similar predicament she wrote on her blog:

Caris- miss na rin kita! I hope you can drop by London sometime or we meet up in Paris. I'll find a way to see you soon.

One Desire

As part of witnessing my faith in Christ, I just wanted to share this song to all of my readers.

I have hard times in life but God has saved me from each of them.
He is my Lord and my Saviour
And I am truly, absolutely NOTHING without my LORD!

I hope that my life is a testament of his undying and unselfish love in each of us.
I hope that the life I have offered him is pleasing to Him.

So my one desire is to live my life pleasing God, doing God's will, being His instrument.



You gave it all for me
My soul desire, my everything
And all I am is devoted to You

How could I fail to see
You are the love that rescued me
And all I am is devoted to You

And oh, how could I not be moved
Lord here with You
So have Your way in me
Cause Lord, there is just one thing
That I will seek

This is my cry
My one desire
Is to be where You are, Lord
Now and forever
Its more than a song
My one desire
Is to be with You
Is to be with You, Jesus

The Beginning

When I was a young girl growing up in the Philippines (this one particularly in Manila)- I grew up watching a couple of young Pinoys make it big in London. I was 8 at that time and dreamed to achieve whatever these Pinoys have achieved.

I guess it was empowering to see Lea, Monique and the Pinoy cast of Miss Saigon make it! It made me realise that I could be as 'lucky' as them if I worked hard and never gave up on my dreams.



Recently, I watched a youtube video of another young Pinay, Charice Pempengco. A friend told me she was on the Paul O Grady show in London and that she sang amazingly well. I checked it out and boy, was I blown away.

I hope that more young Pinoys back home will feel that dreams can come true, that we can compete with everyone else on the international stage - it takes creativity, talent and hard work- I'm sure Pinoys are not lacking any of these.

This goes to events that shape young people's lives!
