This idea just popped in my head today and I feel like I’m about to do it! Talk about excited, in a very exaggerated form! Change is about to come next month, and hopefully my time and funds are enough to support me on this new life.

I started out this website in 2010, with little or no idea of how making a site is. I just wanted to make my own portfolio, that’s all. But through the two years, I’ve learned that there are many opportunities to help and influence through this little voice on the web. I guess I was just an excited newbie back then, but right now these two years have taught me well.

{ iamcarisu } has been formed out of an impulse, really! I didn’t know what to name my domain and so on, and that name just fits me then perfectly. I don’t know about now though ^^; Probably it has to do with the not-so-good things that happened lately. Perhaps it’s time to turn over a new leaf. Perhaps it’s time for a change.

Oh, all the memories of blogging which started out in my VOX blog (also spilling some of my fangirling secrets) added with a few hopes and dreams and so on, it’s just an awesome experience. I feel like I’m about to miss my old writings and stuff, but then again I could not be more than happy to find a happier place of my own, my really really own.

So there. I think I’ve learned a lot and it’s time to pick up this space for something new. Prepare for a change!

Love you guys, and see you soon!

Hi guys!

This is another personal post! As you all know, or might have not known, I have been very much busy for the past few weeks due to many surprising circumstances. First, the floods caused by the shockingly strong south winds and rain, which resulted to a nationwide tragedy. Second, some family and personal chores, which i had to deal with after cleaning up, and third, new projects coming. I’m so sorry that I wasn’t able to produce a Wednesday Wandering (which has stopped for a while) and I am still at the state which I haven’t recovered yet.

I am still thinking the direction of this site, especially now that my main page has been *gasp!* hacked. Oh, no worries; it’s just that I may have to start all over again because I can’t log into it anymore. Poor thing!

I am also thinking of a new concept, one which will be collaborative, and hopefully that shows up in time while I am yet doodling and working away. Oh, I also haven’t paid attention to my novel, which I am pegging to write in the longest time, but then again I know there’s a time for everything.

Thank you guys for still visiting this site; updates and decisions are coming soon! I know this site is rather a salad of everything; from arts to fashion to music to drama; it’s like items are carelessly thrown in for some random idea. I thought it’s very me—because I’m very spontaneous and random, although I feel it’s not a very good idea to some :)

So, hopefully, I get thing back in order. I’m busy with a whole new project given to me by the owner of Koobly, you can go check it out at Originl.

See you there, and see you back here, so very soon!

Love,

Caris

First of all, I would like to give you a long, warm invisible hug. Yes, you! If you happened to drop by this site by accident or intent, thank you. Your presence means so much to me!

You see, when this pretty little blog stopped its momentary Wednesday Wanderings, I thought no one would dare visit it again. But surprise, surprise! And you’re here! Ain’t that awesome!

Thank you so much for appreciating this site! I would love to give out a kiss or a hug, but of course, that’s imaginary.

Love

Caris.

Prayer for today:

God, I know You speak through Your still small voice. But I don’t want You to be just a still small voice anymore. Instead, please be a loud thundering voice, so I can hear You with all the world’s confusion. I want to listen to You loud and clear. I want to hear Your directions. I want to learn Your ways.

Have you ever been lost? I have. Just today. Well, not exactly lost. I just lost a person when I was supposed to wait for her on one place. That person was my mom. And today, as we went to the mall, we had to part ways so we could do whatever we want. And off this girl went, doing her chores (for the ministry materials) while mama went shopping.

Just like we regularly do, I am to wait for her in the same stall. But that day, confusion came. I went off. I was worried. I knew she is still not feeling well, so at the back of my mind, I’ll just go to the grocery department and help her carry the stuff.

But then, I winded up not seeing her, so I realized I must have missed her. So round I went to the whole mall. And the mall was huge. And I had tired feet. But it doesn’t matter. I was praying all the time, “God let me find her. She needs my hands to carry the bags.”

At the end, I chose to go back where I have been. Right from the start. And guess what. My mom was there. And oh, she was flushing mad! It turns out, she rounded the whole place herself. And she was off looking for me. Of course, here is where the big rebuke comes! I sighed. I knew I had good intentions of going off like that, but it turns out, it wasn’t necessary. It could have been alright if I had stayed.

Sometimes, we have good intentions in our hearts that we think it’s the right thing. And then it turns out, it’s not. So, the right thing for us isn’t exactly the right thing God sees. And His ways are better. I should have listened to Him first instead of listening to myself thinking of these so-called right intentions.

I’m found. At the end, it was me who needed mama’s help; how funny can that be? Haha. But you know, I feel so warm and happy, knowing that even if I’m a grown up adult, my mama will still go through all the world just to find me. What love is that?

I’m so blessed. And droll. Hahahaha.

God, You’re teaching me to listen to Your directions. Because that’s what I’ll be teaching the kids this Sunday in our EE session. How appropriate!

You always know the best timing. Awesome!
