One Day At A Time

“

The practice of patience guards us against losing our presence of mind. It enables us to remain undisturbed, even when the situation is really difficult. It gives us a certain amount of inner peace, which allows us some self-control, so that we can choose to respond to situations in an appropriate and compassionate manner, rather than being driven by our disturbing emotions.

— Dalai Lama

you and i…on our first year together

our life together will not always be easy…and we know that..there will be times when you and i will get caught up in the little every day moments of life that before we knew it, we lose sight of “us”…the one thing that’s lasting and true..but as we celebrate our first year anniversary and look to the future, let’s focus on loving each other ~ mind, heart and soul…let’s get back to the basics… to you, to me, and our love…because after all, that’s where we started, and that’s where we should always be.

“i vow to help you love life..to always hold you with tenderness and to have the patience that love demands..to speak when words are needed and to share the silence when they’re not..and to live within the warmth of your heart..and always call it home..” —the vow

Isang taong pamamalagi sa Belhika

ang bilis ng panahon..isang taon na pala akong namamalagi sa Belhika..isang taon na puno ng kasiyahan at katiwasayan ng kalooban ~ dahil na rin sa aking kabiyak na wagas ang pagmamahal at suporta sa akin..

hindi madali ang iwanan ang nakasanayan, ang pamilya, ang mga kaibigan, ang trabaho…hindi madali ang pagbabago…hindi madali ang magsimulang muli…pero sa bawat araw na nagdaan simula ng ako’y dumating, alam ko na ako’y may kutawang…sa bawat sandali ipinaparamdam nya sa akin na dalawa kaming tatahak sa bawat pagsubok…dalawa kaming haharap sa ano mang sitwasyon ~ magkahawak kamay..kaya lumipas ang isang taon na hindi ko namalayan…dahil walang mabigat na hindi namen binuhat..sabi nga nya ~ good or bad, happy or sad, there will always be the 2 of us…naks! :D

maraming salamat sweetie sa tulips at sa ever fabulous lunch..nagluto naman ako ng pansit for long life ~ birthday?! hahaha

Terapista sa Belhika

AZ Groeninge, Kortrijk ~ yes I’m working again as a physical therapist..and it feels home..:D medyo kelangan nga lang nang madibdibang Dutch! hahaha epistaxis (nosebleed) ang drama ko kasi super communicate sa patients and colleagues in Dutch language..but I’m enjoying every second of it! Practice makes perfect right?

Terapista (sangay ng medisina ~ hindi masahista!) :D

One fine week in Kortrijk..

It was extra special this week because for the first time (after what seems like forever) we had 20C temperature ~ and for the whole week!..it feels good to have two-digit temp once more..seeing the sun again makes most of the people in Belgium so “happy and gay”…and the forecast for the coming week? oh well, back to one-digit temp ~ 2 to 7C..

~ ang partner ng aking freshly-brewed kape tuwing umaga..hazelnut syrup or caramel syrup..ala-starbucks ang peg in the comfort of my own kitchen..heavenly!
