Since then, I have been preoccupied with acquiring more oils, researching blends for our health and well-being and just having fun mixing and blending and learning all about essential oils.
I found Young Living expensive though. So I researched other sources of essential oils that were more reasonable priced and reputed to be 100% jellybellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05704478507152646511noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319067724786410654.post-79184883331947050912017-08-19T22:31:00.000+08:002017-08-31T20:11:34.198+08:00Oils!

I got my Young Living premium starter set last month and have been obsessed with essential oils since.
I became believer when I caught a bad virus and coughing from a co-worker. Because I did not want to be sick, I took the sample of Thieves that my friend gave me and wiped the wrapper on my throat.

Yesterday my friend Becky called up Wildflour at the Podium to reserve cronuts. She went a couple of times to buy those cronuts but they were always sold out. When she called to inquire if today, that is, yesterday, they had some left, she was told to just reserve and pick it up the next day. So she did and she told me about it right after she hung up the phone.

I went out to the mall to buy a stove during my lunch break today. Our stove died last night. I decided to buy the stove quickly before having my lunch. I was done in about thirty minutes, even stopping by the grocery to pick up strawberries, lettuce and my favorite mint chocolate chip mochi to eat after my lunch.
By the time I got to the cafeteria, I was really hungry. I went to get a jellybellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05704478507152646511noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319067724786410654.post-56724050040726009942013-06-12T09:17:00.006+08:002013-06-16T14:01:45.615+08:00I Believe

Hold my hand and fly
Never say goodbye

I will be alright if you stay by my side

My co-worker T recently got a promotion and as is the tradition in our division, she treated us, her division mates to merienda. When we have birthdays, promotions and other celebrations in our division, treats are usually for merienda instead of lunch or dinner. Don't let "merienda" deceive you though.

Today is my friend K's last day at work. After 16 years with our office, she has decided to resign. The decision did not come easily as all of us, her friends, were convincing her to stay.

You might ask, like I ask some of my friends, if I actually use these diaries. Yes, I use them as notebooks for to-dos, reminders and notes.

From time to time, my office features a country to get to know it better. There is a program to open the "exhibit" and after, a buffet of food native to that country. I've never attended any of the previous programs but this time, I was very interested because it's P's country.
I was surprised how interesting it was.

I have to say goodbye to them because of changes in my life. It started with wanting a simple life some years ago and spread out to other areas of my life.

I've already mentioned how ridiculous I find some of my friends' facebook status posts. Some need to post a status about every little thing they've done in a day. Some write very long status messages that describe in detail what is happening to them. Still others post cryptic messages like, "just checked into medical city" prompting everyone to ask, "Why?"

A nagging question in my mind has always been how to be kind to bad people or even those who beg in the streets seeing that they are strong and healthy but prefer to beg.
Today I got this on my email and wanted to share:
The Bible says that God is kind to bad people (see Luke 6:35-36). We somehow know this already, but it still jars our sense of “justice.”
