I live my life for You, Lord.

Had a full day today, but I just can't go to sleep without thanking God for everything.
Enlightenment. Blessings. Beauty. Love. Friends. Clarity. Faith. Support.

Jesus, You are the bomb.


Woke up at 8 today. Went to La Mesa Dam, dropped off the competition disks I borrowed from my coach. Met with the head coach and a team player and they both asked me when I'd be back. Probably next week. Or next, next week.

Waited for UP CLC to come because we were going to have a big group prayer session. They lost their way to La Mesa Eco Park so I met them at Sacred Heart Noviciate. We had our big group prayer session there. Brother Pat, Julie, Ia, DJ, Anna, Corrine, Mel, Chris, Jasper, Berkley, Leonard, Elaine Leanne, Trishia, me. Hope I didn't miss out on anyone. Anyway, we were given clay and we molded them into cups. Then we were made to imagine it with liquid/(or not). And we reflected on our models for compassion and our motivations for doing such. Julie, Jasper and I had to leave early.

I picked my program/thesis adviser up from her home to get my thesis and drop her off at Vinzon's. She was so enthusiastic and helpful in giving advice. I had a headache the whole time because of the traffic and all the time in the car and because Kuya Mario was listening to some radio station that had this recording pop up all the time "HI PANGA!" wahahaha!! Anyway, Kuya Mario brought me to Ash Creek and he picked mom up. I went to Xavier for the CLC thing. UP CLC came just in time for the mass. Tim Sy and Karol were both there :) Kakatuwa. Cel also came for the mass. :) We renewed our vows to be CLCers. :) I was supposed to commit for LIFE but saw the only people committing for LIFE were relatively old people... Bwahahah [I easily committed for life because my commitment is usually kind of FLIGHTY :)) (inside joke). but I'm trying to change. Heehee One of my resolutions for this year is: commit to something fully. HA! Anyway, back to the rest of the world:] I copied Plim and Kuya Delson's na lang. 2 years :p hahahah! Biggest reason I'm still CLC anyway is my sister (and her friends who have become my friends too!!!) and my unit, JOLOGS! (I love you!!!)

Chris bought 3 Sitting Ducks Gallery sets from Achi Je and Achi Je got Chris and me to be "play masters" That means we get to test the games and play with them!!! HAHA super fun!!! anyway, she also said we could come up with our own ideas for games, have it patented then sent to the company for (re)production!

O MY GULAY, LORD YOU WORK IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS, I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MY course!!!!! AND I LOVE doing this. I LOVE TOYS.
I LOVE games. I LOVE being a child! I LOVE the PROGRESSIVE APPROACH! I Love love CHILD-CENTERED activities! I LOVE INTEGRATION, Learning by having FUN! AND MIXED MEDIA.

I was so amused with the Teacher Made Materials and activities I came up with during the time I had practicum (both classes). I still have my ACTIVITY PLANS AND RESOURCE FILES. WAnted to have them patented, but you know me -- lazy-to-find-out-how girl! and of course I thought I'd only get the chance to have my ideas (re)produced WHEN I HAD THE MONEY. WHEN I earned IT ON MY OWN. (That's DECADES FROM NOW).

AND NOW, GOD YOU GIVE ME THIS CHANCE? i LOVE YOUUUUUUU. jUST LAST WEEK, I WAS OUT WITH ACHI CHRISTINE AND I WAS TELLING HER I WAS SOOO LOST. I EVEN BORROWED HER BOOK, "NOW WHAT?" AND THEN THIS WEEK I RESEARCHED FOR GRADUATE PROGRAMS... i KNOW WHAT I WANT. I WANT TO BECOME AN EXPRESSIVE/CREATIVE ARTS THERAPIST. I WANT TO HAVE AN "ATR" AFTER MY NAME. AND /OR AN "APT" AND/OR A "CET" AND/OR BEFORE, A "PHD".

Anyway, Chris dropped Karol, Lawrence and me off at Ash Creek Center. Karol bought a cheesecake before going to Cavite. I went to Bench Fix and did some prettifying while waiting for achi and mom. lol :p then I greeted earth hour at Starbucks with my forever order, Iced White Mocha (influenced by Achi Christine frutti_de_mare and Erikahh. Read the first few pages of my thesis then achi and mom came.

We ate at Won Ton. :) Memories of Garrick. *hug* I miss you, buddy!
Anyway, once I stepped into the car, found out achi revealed to mom my plans for master's.
It was only then I started jumping for joy because I realized everything was falling into place. I remember telling Achi before that I felt like I had a niche for the Integrated Core Curriculum and ideas for it (activities and materials used). Since I've been working my ass off for my thesis, I realized I am really passionate (and my passion has grown also) about Birth Order, Parental Support, and the influence on the family. I realized that I did not want to stop studying and be stagnant. Now that I am actually being a nerd for something I am totally into, I wanted to keep my brain working.
THEN THIS COMES!
God, I love You, God! I love LOVE YOU. THANK YOU FOR WATCHING OVER ME!!! AND LOVING ME SO, SO MUCH.

Anyway, Naturally, achi was happy for me too. So was mom..
Then my mom was also very supportive of my plans and impressed about my research on all the schools!
:)

I was talking to Kar wacky_cow the other day. She felt like the Expressive Therapy and Mental Health Counseling suited me the most. That's what my sister and mom felt too.

Anyway, I am just so happy because when Je was telling Chris and me about the play master thing, I was happy but did not totally swallow the thought. Chris said, "Yay! Pambayad na to sa thesis ko!!!" Then when I was talking to ach and mom, I realized if I had this as work, I could also easily pay off my master's tuition! :-)

Thank You, God. For making this work.

I love LOVE You. I owe you a date. looking forward to (and for) a retreat. :)

Good night, good life. +
