CHILLIN' OUT @ SERENDRA & MARKET MARKET

It's been a couple of months since I last went to Global City. The thought of strolling and relaxing seems to be a great idea after a very stressful week. We deserve a break, that's what we've been telling to ourselves.

My friends & I decided to go to Market Market Mall for a simple dinner. We're craving for some grilled food, and so Special Ineng's Barbecue was our ultimate choice.

Serendra is located just in front of Market Market Mall. A very cool place to unwind, and a perfect venue for chillin' out.

After feeling exhausted, we just sat by the benches and have some chat. And it was really relaxing.

NO RECORD OF WRONGS

Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy. Love is never boastful, nor conceited, nor rude;
It is not self-seeking, nor easily angered.
It keeps no record of wrongdoing. It does not delight in evil,
But rejoices in the truth. It always protects, trusts, hopes, and preserves.
There is nothing love cannot face;
There is no limit to its faith, hope, and endurance.
In a word, there are three things that last forever:
Faith, hope, and love; But the greatest of them all is love.

~1 Corinthians 13:4-7

I've been reading this verse over and over for the past few days. I want to let go of the pain when I got disappointed with some friends. I guess I was in my very sensitive mood. So it's really hard for me to forgive, to forget and to move on.

But God knows I'm really trying and praying that these things will all come out of me.

A friend emailed this verse to me. I guess it's simply reminding me to keep on holding on to the love that I've once had for them. And that love indeed should keep no record of wrongs.

Honestly, I'm still hurting inside but I will not stop reading this verse until all the pain comes out of me. May God help me.

IT'S GONNA MAKE SENSE

I was really moved the very first time I heard this song in a reality show, Pinoy Big Brother Double Up. So I tried to search for the lyrics and surf through youtube. It's from Michael Learns to Rock. I find it very inspiring. Hope it can enlighten you as well.

Enjoy the music..

QUICK BONDING @ FRESKA

We had a very quick bonding at Promenade last Friday. We decided to eat at Freska Restaurant which is owned by Alfred Vargas, a GMA Kapuso star. The resto's specialties are Ilonggo seafoods and inasal.

Our bonding lasts for only an hour, that's why I call it quick. Anyway, we just want to be together. I guess that's what really matters, specially if it's spent with quality.

Here are some of our photos..

Christmas music is in the air, and it's kinda obvious while we were strolling at Market Market Mall last Saturday. A Christmas Carole was being presented in this photo with matching traditional choir attires and a beautiful Christmas tree with cute angels.
