this emotionally-charged weekend has somehow left me weak and drained when i woke up this morning. i went through the weekend with my grandpa suffering a heart attack (but good thing he's recuperating fast), the funeral of sister-in-law's mom, and papa going to the hospital because of low blood pressure. if it were just events unfolding one by one... i would not feel this way... but because they all happened in one weekend, i kinda feel so emotionally drained and there's a feeling of numbness and pain all in one.

however, i know i must not dwell on these things. i have to look forward to a brighter tomorrow, how cliche it may sound. and true enough, when i woke this morning even though i slept at 4am, i was so happy to receive a text from ja. it said: "i had bo sanchez pray for you too when we met him last night. :) put your faith to our Lord." i was so happy because one, i look up to bo sanchez and am so inspired with his life. second, because i was so happy for jaja, finding inspiration and was so happy in sharing it with me this morning. whenever i hear inspiring stories from people, my heart gladdens because i know God is sending me those inspiring stories to be strong and to remember that He will take care of me and my family. and that HE is definitely bigger than any of the crux i carry.

please keep praying for us. thanks...
