Friends, family, classmates, blog mates. Hello once again!I heard many teachers of the Bible nowadays promising each and every believing Christian that life will all go well... prosperous and happy. You see, I realized this in my life, being a Christian, happiness is temporary, but God told me to be joyful because being joyful doesn't say of today but the outcome of tomorrow. What I have

In the far depths of the world,I can’t express my awe.I am alone,but one is with me.To the eyes of the many,She is considered ordinary,But for the possessor,Breathless expression unimaginable.Through roses and thorns of the trail,To the smoothness of the asphalt,She knows no complaintsShe knows no stops.She’s my beauty in black,She’s an old’ faithful?Neither I can say why?My profound love I

This has been on my thoughts lately and despite having been able to conclude everything. I still want to share it to you; my friends, relatives, and fam! XOXOXO... :DWhy do we need to read the Bible? This is quite a question we might ask ourselves. Why are some people reading it? Why do some Christians don't? Why? Why?As far as I can see it. The Bible is the most important book. Its a guiness

I DIDN'T CRY WHEN THEY LEFT.I think. At least they didn't see me.But after driving home, I can't escape my emotions pouring downhill. I said, "They're gone, they've left."Dropping them off in the airport felt like saying goodbye to my mother when she left for the States. Mixed emotions stirred up within me. Some of it were the desires of my heart and some were thanksgiving for the Lord. Then I

I realized this in my life.When things get rough and it's hard to forgive, I become alone by myself. I become weaker and weaker; devotions pass through my days. Opportunities from heaven are closed.Then you find yourself stumbling and falling again."Consider it pure joy", someone said that to me that night but confused I become. He said, "When all things turn rough, be joyful always". He didn't

This day has been quite a downer-day for me. I didn't make it to the top ten of I love the Philippines 2 contest by Philstar.com I was thinking of my weeks' investment of time just for this website to be done. But I told myself that I did my best and I have my chin-straight up, knowing that the website will serve good intentions better than any entry out there. For now I will be sticking with my

This is my second post about the w4eo, after leaving wordpress in favor for a new start in my blogspot experience. I know this is a bit long but I think its good stuff'.We were just young lads back then; joyful, wishful, and fearless. I can't believe much had happened after I left that school. It was somewhat a relief after all I've experienced (the persecution and all). Though despite of all

I don't know a lot of things about my Philippines. Probably I know a little about the basics but I try to get out of politics since I may find myself judging someone. It's not that they make bad decisions or label them corrupt. But I know this for sure, I am also a subject of corruption myself. I can be considered irresponsible and a dying Filipino. I am guilty of many things, I preached my

It was that specific day last week when I decided that I really need a break. All the burden, all the weight of life was just within me, not letting it out, added to this is the disappointment, utter sorrow to my patient who just died.I cannot completely recover from the time I heard the news. She was always smiling at me but then I was with no knowledge that she was going to expire in the last

Remembering those days of my childhood when I used to sit at the dining table waiting for the food to be served. Most of the time, this happens til' today. But the value of change is evident when we grow up. Heck, what's the purpose of growing up if we are not susceptible for change? Sadly, most people wanted to change for worst and not for the better. I had the idea of hating myself when I sit

It's funny how a single picture can spark out a rhema. This was taken from my ride at Talim last May 2, 2009."You've gone so passed today and you've tried your best", I felt that when we got out of the trail.

Written by 3739 on May 3, 2009Before I'll start a little bit of review of the trail. I've been thinking about creating a journal for this one. This will be a little long but here goes…It was around 0530H when I arrived at Tiendesitas when I already saw more than 20 bikers in front of the closed Mercury Drug store. I was quite anxious since this will be my second ride following the Licao - Licao

Okay this is me. Not the best picture in the world but I don't really care. This picture reminds me of how God has been good to me that not only He allowed me to win a free fuel worth 700 pesos ONCE but also TWICE!As I was just about to park beside the pump, I told the gasoline staff to fill the car with 200PHP worth of fuel. For no reason at all, they asked me if they could inspect the car and

Have you seen the fireflies lately? I can say that I miss them for quite some time now. I live in the province of Bukidnon half of my life, but I only saw less than 10 fireflies of my lifetime. How sad for me to think that they are getting rarer and rarer.Then I realized this. Life is always unfair especially to the lesser power such as animals, plants and insects. These living beings which God

Many people will say, "Oh you cannot please everybody…"Which is true, I feel completely unhappy and limited with the things I am expecting to see at Manila International Auto Show. I just don't know why I feel so excited at first and then finally finding myself into negative conclusions when I step at the exit door.It’s the events like these where it is vital for me to learn.

Finally, thanks to the internet I was able to take a glimpse of how the anticipated Tesla sedan will look after so much waiting. Tesla is an electric car manufacturer that produces the first 200 miler high speed super roadster. Years back, they promised their costumers and the world that they will be introducing a sedan with the same range, driving dynamics, and power of the roadster. To my

Crikey! I woke up this morning thinking that I failed to turn off every electricity last night for one hour because I thought that Earth Day was yesterday. I was corrected by my sister that Earth Hour will be tonight. March 28, 2009 (8:30 - 9:30 pm). Had a great relief after that!So anyway, I hope everybody would find this activity as interesting as it can be.Let's enjoy Earth Hour!God Bless!

This was a blessed day despite the fact that our thesis needs a major overhaul. Argh, trying to look for something gotta do. I remembered about a certain event at SMX, knowing its really near from where I am driving. I said to myself, "I have to visit the place since they're showcasing 'eco' products there!". Prior to entering the building, I was expecting to see some Mercedes Smart on display

I want to share my life half a decade back because life is just too wonderful. This was me, in which I think was my first time being able to bring back to the community. I love the feeling despite having to ride our bikes 30-45's kilometers something... (It took us around 2-3 hours to get to the place).

Yes, you read it right!Another blessing in disguise happened to me last Sunday. Though it almost got late again from SOL 1, I managed to drive swiftly as possible maintaining my pledge of obeying the rules of traffic especially speed limits.Anyway, going back to the topic, I left home at around 10:00 a.m because I am supposed to meet my thesis group mates at Burger King, SM Mall of Asia.

Today was a day of pain, but thank God I am again writing in front of my desk for my blog. These past few days, my computer seemed to crash everytime it tries to boot. I don't know what I just did but I am glad I got it working again by reformatting the hard drive.Whew! It was tiring backing-up all the files. I think I saved 98% of them.

So me and the fam decided to visit one Sunday afternoon! Well, all I can say that it was a wrong move! I got late from School of Leaders 1 Orientation because I have to drop my mother to somewhere she could get a ticket to fly to Cagayan de Oro the next morning.But anyway, I was really happy I got the chance to visit the ship and its volunteers that day.

So now I got some new wishlist which I hope the fam will become a lil bit sensitive of what I want for this year. First would be to pass 3rd Year of College. It's a need since I have been struggling with Medical-Surgical Nursing since the first day of class. My brain just keeps on sleeping! Second would be the family.

Last March 31, 2008, Me and a friend went to Fort Santiago, the place where the Filipinos' national hero was imprisoned then executed on December 30, 1896. We visited the place and toured for quite some time. Even though the park was getting older and older each year, the essence of being in a Spanish-era theme is still holding true to those who wants to experience an atmosphere of the last

Okay, last Sunday was a really busy day for me. I went to church with my little sister to attend the first service, after that, I drove her home and went to church again for the "Post Encounter Graduation" I lost count of the number of graduates, but I was happy to know that some of my friends are still on race. I can't believe I can now enroll for the School of Leaders! Anyway here are some of

It's just 8 days passed and I haven't done so significance. Times have been so busy, where's my devotional? I am afraid to say, it's already shaken.As I was saying before, nursing is a course of vocation and not a profession. And while I am still working for my towards graduation, I already felt pressure in the midst of our thesis followed by a unit three exam. Perhaps the only time I could give

It says here that my blood time is Type A. And oh, I am indeed a pass for donation. :DI drove to school around 11:45 a.m. and arrived at 12:15 p.m. There they got me screened, it was quite a nervous feeling since it was my first time

Currently listening to: It's a New Day by Hillsong LondonI woke up with a dry mouth, a little weak and a little late (for about an hour). So afterward, I went on eating three bananas for my usual morning banana diet. Then helped the little sister a bit of her homework and then moved on to my daily Bible reading time. My feeling turned around after reading Acts 13 where Paul and Barnabas

Last saturday I was thinking, "Hey I didn't spend much on my weekly allowance so I decided to treat my family with donuts". So what I did after I finished my class in Pharmacology, I stopped at the Krispy Kreme SM Mall of Asia (Drive-thru) to get some of their original baked donuts. I know that these donuts are quite high on sugar so I decided to buy one each for the fam. I bought three donuts

Last Friday (23/01/2009), after doing a tremendous job of sweeping my room, cleaned the air-conditioning unit, rearranged the Box and the computers... I call it great to finish them all. Oh, I also washed two cars... ehem. :D Everything needed some work, but it was all worth it. My room felt 'homey' again.So it was a good day huh?! For me it was! Today, I learned that everything I did last Friday

It's not about the feeling... Dude, it's submission.A Christian talk consists a lot of interesting things. We praise each other for their well-being, courage, and staying true to the Lord. We also go to talks about how life is holding us down. More importantly, we also talk about our dearly beloved brothers who felt a little rough moment in their lives. Some may call them 'Backsliders' but in my

Ola! Amigo and Amiga!Thank you for your visiting my blog, I pray to God that the content will truly inspire the young-hearted because I think this is also a new way to make a significance. I always tell myself that, "If I change, Everything will change". And part of that action in the making is the start of doing something that everyone will benefit. So what's the fuss about "Sharing U the

In the world filled with high-tech gadgetry, many people may no longer believe in miracles. But before  you conclude on something, I will race to tell you to make me as an exception. Miracles do happen, it's everything found around us. The simple miracle you can always witness is the fact that we have our bodies to prove it and why we ourselves cannot create something as complex as our own being.

I once heard a guy at church telling me about being joyful. He said, "It's hard to stay joyful whenever problems arise coming from both sides, but the Lord commanded me to be joyful so there's no arguing about it".I stopped and think. Remembering the things he said because I realized that it's hard to stay joyful. How can I express this in times when I fail a quiz, the family gets messed up or

The trouble within me is not with the law, for it is spiritual and good. The trouble is with me, for I am all too human, a slave to sin. I don't really understand myself, for I want to do what is right, but I don't do it. Instead, I do what I hate. But if I know that what I am doing is wrong, this shows that I agree that the law is good. So I am not the one doing wrong; it is sin living in me

Minutes passed after midnight of January 1, I uttered a short prayer of thanks to my God. For the changed life, the new challenges and the new hope the Great I Am has given to me. I may sound a bit out of the line with your normal life but my heart couldn't pass the opportunity.I also sang a song, though not in a very presentable way. It's a song that takes me to the covenant I have with my God.

Before I say the magic greeting, there are some things that makes me think of the whole year that will pass minutes from now. There are many people to thank and so many memories to look upon. But all I can leave for you all this coming 2009 is this;Philippians 3:13-14...forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead.To end the year, I end this with a song.

I love 3C, not just because of the staff but because this area in Manila Doctors Hospital has been the most challenging for me. It's fun doing all the work, I don't see it as toxic the way I see it before. So what's challenging about that?I met a patient at the 3C area and his prognosis was quite poor. So bad that he couldn't talk, he just sleeps while aided by a mechanical ventilator. As a

Taking up Nursing has never been an easy decision for me. As a matter of fact when I was about to walk to school for an enrollment, I wept and asked the Lord if this is His will for me. My other choices was to become an educator or a dentist but these was beyond what my parents and siblings dreamed of my becoming so they asked me to take up nursing.I have to swallow it for years, I hated the

The meaning of 'Reincarnation' tells me that a person's soul is reborn in a new body. So it's not like that I am experiencing because my physical self didn't die in this world. My physical cues remained, but the heart, mind and soul - all new.As weeks have passed by, life changing things have confronted me. Things that crashed my guilt and was broken into pieces, left beside the road as I
