Better In Time

( 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

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.

Going Through The Fire

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!

My Life

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.

For my spare time, I enjoy mostly trying my skills on painting, pottery, cross-stitching, scrapbooking and now, blogging. But my hands are at its best in cooking. It’s what I love most. I just love trying new recipes and play with different ingredients.

As a friend, I am true; nevertheless, I can end a friendship in a snap too once they cross the boundary. In everything there's always a limit. Of course I can forgive, I'm just human... but it may never be the same again. It takes me looooooong to forget.


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?

As for love, I have not given up on it for I know God has intended one for me. True love, as with any other fairy tale, is worth waiting for. I will wait for my own fairy tale to happen. With this, I am sending a message to the ONE intended for me, “continue searching for me...I am just right here, waiting.”
