I am hurting again. Met this guy online and thought he was different. I liked him so much, and even came to the point of falling for him. He was perfect for me. He had all the qualities I am looking for a man. He was everything.I get excited each time he rings my phone. I look forward to our chat, and hear his voice. He was smart, right age, sounded like a very nice person. I don't know, I fell for him quick, but he didn't know. He made me happy. He never failed to make my day. He became my inspiration. He was a perfect man for me. But my fantasy didn't last long. One day I gave a wrong answer to his question and never heard from him again. Tried to contact him, leave a message online and phone but didn't get any answer. I got the message. I failed again. But at least the HURTING wasn't so bad.....because we started not too long ago and ended it very soon.
I thought my Prince have found me and my fairy was about to happen, but I was wrong.
Well, I guess I never learned my lesson.....too bad.

Sometimes it's easy to become so goal-oriented and so focused on our dreams that we overlook the simple things that we should be enjoying in our everyday life. But we have to remember that life is not really about the destination, it's about how we live all along the way. It's about the path we're on that shines brighter and brighter.
In this life, there is no such thing as a finish line. Once you accomplish one dream, God will give you another. When you overcome one challenge, there will be another. There is always another mountain to climb. If we make the mistake of just living for the destination, we'll look up one day and realize we've missed out on the biggest part of life because most of life is routine. Most of us get up every morning, go to work, come home, eat dinner, go to bed and do it again. There are very few mountaintops where you graduate from school, or you get married, or have a child, or go on vacation. The high times are few and far between. Don't get stuck living for the mountaintops. Learn to enjoy the path you're on. Learn to enjoy the people in your life. Learn to enjoy the simple blessings of walking in the path the Lord has prepared for you.

Life can be full of ups and downs, twists and turns. We've all had to face challenges and difficulties. But did you know that everything you've been through up until now is getting you prepared for what God is going to do in your future? Nothing in your life has been wasted. Every disappointment, every setback, every person that did you wrong, every lonely night, God is going to turn around and use for your good!
During the difficult times, we grow and mature. That's when our faith is stretched and our character is developed. God didn't send that hardship, but He'll use it to get you prepared for your next step. Those adversities will help make you and mold you into the person you are called to be.
You may be experiencing tough times today, but remember, nothing is ever wasted. Have the attitude that says, "This is a new day. Things are shifting in my favor. This difficulty is not going to stop me. It's going to promote me. It was meant to bring me down, but I know the truth; God is going to use it to lift me up and lead me into victory all the days of my life."

It was almost 2pm and still wasn't done doing my erands. Had to rush because my son will be dropped home at 2:40. There's no way I could make it if I don't put more speed. The limit was 30 and I was running 47. I knew that spot was a police hideout but I was hoping I won't get caught. Just before I finished my prayer I heard a siren and as I looked at the side mirror, the police car was already behind me. Officer Lutz got me. But since it was my first time, I got a reduction, and was charged only $150. Wonder how much it could have cost me if it was not reduced.....hmmmmmmm. My son got home 5 minutes ahead of me. Lucky didn't get in trouble. Learned my lesson. Next time, do erands earlier.

I looked at myself in the mirror few days ago and realized it's not me anymore. From last year's court stress, work plus the holiday season, made me gain so much weight. I used to weigh just 90 lbs., the gained 30 lbs. wich is ok, made me look better. But gaining another 30 lbs. is just unacceptable, I look horrible. Just can't believe I have neglected myself. That day I pointed at my reflection and promised myself 4-6 weeks to get that old figure back. It is winter reason why i could not go jogging or go to gym because of my kids soooooo, today I got my Pro-Ab Circle to help me out....yeyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!! We'll see how this one works. Wish me luck!

When you wake up in the morning, do you expect the goodness of God in your life? Do you set the tone for success, favor, and blessing? We're in the second month of the new year and we're not only beginning a new year, but we're beginning a new decade. This last decade may have had some hardships, some difficulties but it's time to set the tone for a new season.
The Scripture tells us that the darker it gets in the world the brighter it’s going to be for God's people. Things may be bad all around you, people may be negative, complaining, and discouraged but don't let that spirit rub off on you. The worse it gets, the brighter you're going to shine. Be determined to set the tone for the new decade by praising God and speaking words of faith over your future. As you do, you'll enlarge your vision and make room for God to do amazing things in every area of your life!
PRAYER:
Father in Heaven, I choose to bless you at all times. I choose to set the tone to receive your favor, grace and mercy. Thank you for your faithfulness to me at all times! In Jesus' Name. Amen!

( To my ex-husband )
It's been the longest winter without you
I didn't know where to turn to
See somehow I can't forget you
After all that we've been through
Going coming
Thought I heard a knock
Who's there no one
Thinking that I deserve it
Now I realize that I really didn't know
If you didn't notice you mean everything
Quickly I'm learning to love again
All that I know is I'mma be ok
Thought I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt when it heals too
It'll all get better in time
Even though I really love you
I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to
It'll all get better in time
I couldn't turn on the TV
Without something there to remind me
Was it all that easy
To just put aside your feelings
If I'm dreaming don't wanna laugh
Hurt my feelings but that's the path
I'll believe in
And I know time will heal it
If you didn't notice boy you mean everything
Quickly I'm learning to love again
All I know is I'mma be ok
Thought I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt when it heals too
It'll all get better in time
Even though I really love you
I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to
It'll all get better in time
Since there's no more you and me
It's time I let you go
So I can be free
And live my life how it should be
No matter how hard it is I'll be fine without you
Yes I will
Thought I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt when it heals too
It'll all get better in time
Even though I really love you
I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to (yes I do)
It'll all get better in time

LIBRA - The Lame One
Nice to everyone they meet. Their love is one of a kind. Silly, funny and sweet. Have own unique appeal. Most caring person you will ever meet! However, not the kind of person you want to mess with...you might end up crying. Libras can cause as much havoc as they can prevent. Faithful friends to the end. Can hold a grudge for years. Libras are someone you want on your side. Usually great at sports and are extreme sports fanatics. Very creative. A hopeless romantic.

Do you feel like you're "going through the fire" today? When everything comes against you, oftentimes it's because God has something great in store.
That's what happens when you're close to a great victory—the fire gets turned up, people start talking about you, and unfair situations come. You get past one obstacle and something else pops up. Why is that? The enemy knows you're close to your victory. That is right about the time when many people give up. They get sour, quit coming to church, or go around complaining. But the Scripture says, "When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of God will be there to raise up a barrier." Part of our privileges as children of the Most High God is that when problems arise, when life feels overwhelming, God has promised He will always be right there to bring us safely through.
You may feel like you're in the fire today. The heat is being turned up. Everything is coming against you. Let me encourage you, it's because there's something great in store. When the heat gets turned up, it means you're close to your breakthrough. Remember, God is with you when you're going through the fire. If you will stay in faith, He will do for you what He did for them. He'll bring you through the fire—without even smelling like smoke—into the place of victory He has prepared for you!

Hi friends and welcome to Life as I Make It. This is my personal blog where I would like to share with you anything that is currently going on in my life and might include even those which are in the past...significant events that is.
I am Catherine Rochefort but those who know me by heart call me Kata. Born on October 22, 1972 (a certified Libra) in a town located at the northern part of Davao, Philippines. I grew up a simple but an adventure-loving person. I am currently residing though in New York with the man of my life, Nico (my son actually) and my tiny bundle of joy, Isabel (his sister). My Life, my priceless precious gems. 
I simply describe my personality as a friendly (picky friendly ^_^), happy, crazy, generous person. I am usually patient, just don't push my button too much because I might blow and you may not like it....specially when I know I am right. As a mother, I would do everything for my kids because they are the world to me, more important than my own life. 
As a child, I have always loved dancing and it wasn’t until I got to college when I discovered that I could actually sing. Boy, was my family shocked when I unexpectedly performed in one of the town events, I surprised myself even. :D Since then, I exerted effort in developing my skill and joined one of Davao’s pride, the Himig Singers...a choral group who helped big time in moulding me as a singer. I was able to travel to other countries, European countries to be exact, when I joined the group as Soprano 1. I am also a proud member of another singing group, the Alla Breve. Experiences with this group were also unforgettable and will always be kept in my heart.
So much for my singing career...let me tell you about how I got here in New York.
After falling in and out of love several times (they broke my heart, by the way), and in trying to expose myself to the internet, I came to know Gaetan, who eventually asked my hand in marriage and we did get marry, thus my last name Rochefort. Unfortunate though, we didn’t last long. We had too many irreconcilable differences and maybe we were just not meant for each other, let’s leave it at that. In life, I have always been strong in facing it. I have been through so much, yet I stand tall. I never give up. That’s the best thing about me. Life is too short so a waste of time in regretting and circulating on negativity are not in my list of “to do’s”. Of course, I would have not survived everything if I didn’t have God as my ally.
I am now contentedly living with my two kids in a cozy place in New York. I got a job that I love, got family and friends who love me and has God for constant guidance. Who needs more, right?;;
