JoC Album Hunting
Look what I've got! Jars of Clay's
If I Left the Zoo album! Yey!
1999
If not for my spontaneous decision to pass by House of Praise when I was in Megamall, I won't be able to get my much-sought-for copy of this album.
All the while I thought it has already run out of stock but I was really fortunate to be able to find one and mine was the last copy na daw. I also got it at a much lower price 'cause it was sale. Hihi! Plus I have my HoP membership card so I got another discount. Hehe!
I have not fully listened to the album but I already picked my favorite songs and these are U
nforgetful You, No One Loves Me Like You, Sad Clown, Can't Erase It and
Grace. I'm still savoring the other songs from the album.
I still have one to hunt:
Redemption Songs. I don't think I'd have difficulty looking for this one.

I Want a Guy...
Actually, what I want is that someone in the last sentence. Never mind the others.

At the Right Time
"Do you have a boyfriend?"
I’ve been asked this question several times during my job interviews. It just feels a bit awkward being asked something personal or private. I honestly answer it though when they ask. And just recently, another employer threw me this question.
Employer: It’s indicated here that you are single.
Me: Yes, Ma’am.
Employer: But do you have a boyfriend?
Me: Yes, I have a boyfriend.
Employer: Do you have plans of getting married?
Me (extremely surprised): Uhm, yes, but not soon. It’s something that is really serious and something to be prepared for. Currently, I’m still not ready for it. Probably after 5 years I’ll settle down.
Whew. I was put on the spot! I never thought that would be part of the interview. :D
So, 5 years. Yes, 5 more years before a make a vow with someone, if God wills (so Mommy, there’s nothing to worry about, okay? :D ).
Why this long? Because I believe, and this is what God has been telling me, that this is enough time for Him to prepare me emotionally, spiritually and financially and to prepare also the heart of the person that He wants me to spend my life with forever. Also, God wants me to become a “complete” person when I face my “Adam” at the altar and His process of piecing me together will take time. And there’s a lot of things that He still wants me to learn that would enable me to become a worthy woman to my future lifetime partner.
Therefore, I’m not in a hurry to have those wedding bells even if people have been seriously asking me when. I don’t worry about it either. Because God makes things beautiful and perfect in His own perfect time.
Lord, would it be possible to get no extension on the timing please? :D
P.S.
Thanks to Joshua Harris and in-their-thirties-but-still-single friends for inspiring me and giving me hope. :)

Sink n' Swim
Sink n' Swim
Plumb
I lost it all
You got it back
Believed in me
When I gave up on myself again
A sudden rain
Revealed your face
I knew right then
No matter where I go I'd
Have your hand to hold
We will sink and
We will swim
'Til the ocean turns to sand
We will laugh
We will cry
'Til there's no more breath inside
Cause we will sink
We will swim
I was,
A tender reed
Bent in the wind
And then the storm had passed
And you helped me stand upright again
So here we are
Nothing to lose
So take my hand
We'll jump right in
The water's warm
Its time to live
We will sink and
We will swim
'Til the ocean turns to sand
We will laugh
We will cry
'Til there's no more breath inside
Cause we will sink
We will swim
It doesn't rain
For nothing
It will shine
For you
We will sink
We will swim
Til' the ocean turns to sand
We will laugh
We will cry
Til' there's no more breath inside
we will sink
We will swim
