"In God's will, and God's perfect timing"

If people would ask me what's my motto, those exact words are what I always say. I believe that no matter what we do on our own, it won't hinder Him from executing His plans for our lives. Minsan salungat tayo sa kung saan tayo nararapat, so He redirects us until we reach the destination meant for us. Kaya merong sakit, merong maling mga desisyon, merong unanswered prayers, broken dreams. At first, hindi ako naniwala na they are for the better, for the best but when I experienced it myself, nag simula na akong maniwala na things really do happen for a reason.

"Love, it's too cold outside. Alam mo namang winter na, bakit ganyan ang suot mo?" iritadong singhal sa'kin ng boyfriend ko sa screen pero malambing pa din, kainis.

Dinungaw ko siya at inirapan because there he is again, using his father figure attitude to me.

"Magpapatong ako ng coat, love. 'Wag kang OA as if you feel the cold weather diyan sa Pilipinas" muli akong humarap sa salamin upang tignan ang repleksyon ko at bumalik sa pag aayos ng sarili because I just have a very important meeting to attend to later. I'm glad I came back here, I got to work and live my dreams and at the same time leave everything behind, start anew without disturbing my heart's peace.

For some reason, I feel safer and relaxed dito sa Korea. Para bang walang problemang hindi ko kakayanin pag nandito ako. Maybe it's because this has became my escape place. Baka dahil wala dito yung mga taong nanakit sakin. They say, people are the scariest, I vouch for that saying.

There are 7 billion people in the world, and I belong in that population. I know, there are times that I am the scariest being for someone. That's human nature. We do things we aren't supposed to do. Evil. Sin.

"Call me when you get home, papasok na ako sa trabaho" pagpapaalam ni Keithley sa'kin.

I went in front of the screen para tignan ang mukha niya, I saw him already standing up from his seat and fixing his tie. Ngumiti ako dahil as usual, my boyfriend looks so good in his suit and tie.

"Okay, love. Please drive safe. I'll message you bago mag start ang meeting namin" then I already hanged up.

Keithley. My boyfriend. Every woman's ideal man. He was there since day one. Never left my side even when I was loving somebody else. He never let me feel abandoned but rather treasured me like a rare diamond.

I continued what I am doing. I sprayed a setting spray sa mukha ko dahil alam kong mapapahaba ang meeting mamaya for our new TV show. I am wearing a cream tweed sleeveless with a matching tweed coat and skirt. Under the skirt, I decided to wear skin-toned stockings since it's already winter and palamig nang palamig as days go by. I wore my gold watch to finish off my look today. Mag susuot na lang ako ng overcoat later.
