If you have read my previous post, ito nalang ang hinihiling ko.. “Lord, tama na po sana muna ang excitement..” 😉

After our windfall some 3 years back, I really thought life would be peachy from (t)here on out. Finally, makakahinga na ako ng maluwag, I said to myself. I’m a half-full glass kind of girl, you see. Kap, on the other hand, is the pessimist. “Ngayon palang ang umpisa ng mga problema mo, Sweetheart“, was his famous last words.

I took his warning with with a grain of salt, as Kap my Kap was never one to view life in its many splendor. He was forever the realist, and I was guilty of always being the romantic dreamer. Maybe because I lived such a sheltered life.

What a rude awakening it was for his forecast to come into realization barely 2 days into the “honeymoon” phase. Pak! Nagising ako bigla. And it’s been one after the other from that day on, with people coming after me left & right. Lahat na yata ng ahensya ng gobyerno, hinahabol ako. :'(( I learned to cope & accept the good as well as the bad.

Last month, I got the biggest shock of my life when I found out something that could bring me to financial ruin (Oo, nag aala-Kris Aquino ako, bakit ba). Ano ito? Panibagong pagsusubok na naman? :'(( All my life, Mom has sheltered me from life’s problems & kept me away form evil people. She was the shock absorber of the family, even in my adulthood. But now that she is unable to, I find myself standing in front of enemy lines with the Captain down. Ganito pala ang feeling, ahuhu!

Strong is not an adjective I would describe myself. I just look it, but I crumble easily if not for the strength & support of the people around me. During these trying times, I look to God & my family for hope. That the world may be evil & corrupt, but, as my sister in law reminded me, there is always a solution to every problem.

As usual, my Knight in shining armor is facing my new & current problem for me head on. “Pera lang yan Sweetheart.” Now this, coming from my Kapitan Kunat, says a lot. 😉 I’d so love to hide & bury my head under the sand, but I know this is something I need to face, and more importantly, SOLVE.

I pray that God will give me a strong heart, and that my faith will not waiver in the midst of endless trials. Sabi nga, habang may buhay, may problema. So I’d rather have problems & be alive, than rest in peace 6 feet under. 😛

To some of you who may be experiencing the same, I leave you with this..

Let’s pray for each other, shall we? Uulitin ko Lord, please, tama na po sana muna ang excitement sa buhay namin. Pwera nalang po kung sa Ultra Lotto! 😉
