Maging Tulad Ng Bituin

// December 23rd, 2010 // No Comments » // General

Ayokong humiling ng ano mang bagay ngayong Pasko. Kinalakihan ko na ang pagnanais ng mga materyal na regalo. Namulat na ako na ang mga pinakamahahalaga sa akin ay hindi ganoon kadaling makuha. Na ang tanging paraan upang ito ay matupad ay ang magsumamo sa Panginoon para sa kanyang biyaya.

Ito ang kagandahan ng Pasko, muling napupuno ang mga puso ng pag-asa. Muling nagnanais ng mas magandang pagbabago. Isa sa aking mga dalangin at sana ay maging inyo rin ay…

Biyayaan mo kami ng pagtulad sa Iyo, na magningning bilang Iyong mga bituin.

Dalangin ko ang isang makabuluhang Pasko para sa ating lahat.

Change of Heart

This is my personal blog. I do have to admit however, that I find it hard to express things that rocks me to my soul. The difficulty does not stem from wanting to maintain privacy but from finding the right words to say it.

I have been trying to compose something since last night yet here I am ending up not publishing most of what I have tried writing.

Let me put things simply. Here goes…

We have a difficult relationship but I am now hurting less and have learned to understand you more.

As I come to terms with my own failures and shortcomings, I realized that you also have yours to deal with. It made me more tolerant of you. I am surprised to find myself wishing that you be spared from harm’s way, even from those things that may result from your mistakes. A few years back, I would have probably cared less.

As you celebrate another year of your life; I pray that amidst all the self-depreciating feelings you may be having, may you manage to see the brighter things of your life; may you be able to sort out your priorities properly; and may you realize that you have a number of things to be thankful for.

Faith Turns To Fear

// May 18th, 2010 // 2 Comments » // General

One of the reasons I created this blog is to serve as a venue for self expression. However, I always find it difficult to put in to words those things that are dearest to my heart. I have always attempted but failed.

Things are not looking up for our family these days. There’s just too many concerns that popped up in the past week and I can’t help but worry. I know that I should entrust those issues to God but even in my prayers, I find myself struggling for words. Despite that, I am confident that He understands.

The clouds are gathering and my faith is turning to fear.

Welcome 2010

// January 1st, 2010 // No Comments » // General

It is the time of the year when we take down our old calendars in replacement of new ones. I do hope that 2009 made you a better and wiser person. Trials after all is God’s way of molding us towards perfection.

This is also the time were people make resolutions that are often neglected after a few months. I am not discouraging you to make one because I believe in the power of goal setting. What I do hope for you is the will to see them through and hopefully, we can all review our accomplishments come 2011.

The new year is a good time to start something new. We should always make it a point to enrich ourselves. Go learn a new language, start a simple walking club, be more serious in one of your hobbies, take one short course in a university or any learning institution, or do one photo manipulation tutorial once a week.

Take an extra step and give something you do not like a chance. If you are not fond of eating vegetables, try it for a reasonable time. You might be able to grow an appreciation for it and that’s one more step of improvement for you.

Whatever you plan of doing in 2010, I do hope that it’ll be a rewarding and fulfilling year for all of us. Happy 2010, friends!

Wishful Thinking

// September 18th, 2009 // 12 Comments » // General

1. I wish that sleeping is easy for me.
Yung tipong wala pang limang minutong pumipikit ang mata o yung mapasandal lang, tulog na. Hindi na kailangang magbabad sa iPod at makinig ng mga preachings hanggang makatulog.

2. I wish that I am more of a morning person.
Kapag natapos mo kasi ang mga trabaho ng may araw pa, maaari ka ng mag chill kapag gabi na.

3. I wish I had a leaner body.
Yung tipong kahit ilang bandehado na ang kinakain ay mukha pa ding ginutom.

4. I wish I had a better set of teeth.
Nakakatamad ang mag-floss pero no choice. Kailangan e. Kaming mga lumaki sa Cavite City noong 80s ay apektado ng high Fluorine content sa tubig. Swerte ng mga bata ngayon at may mineral water na.

5. I wish that I was more athletic.
Mas okay sana kung mahilig akong mag basketball, swimming, baseball, o kahit marathon man lang kesa magbabad sa computer. Maganda na sa katawan, tipid pa sa kuryente.

Pero okay lang kahit hindi ganyan ang mga bagay-bagay. I have learned to live with what I have and I thank God for it.
