i had passed

There’s a time for everything

Two weeks of pain had passed I thank God for His undying love and guidance .I’m so blessed that I had overcome it by sending people to be a part of my loneliness.

I felt so satisfied that I had return from the thing that I had lost before. But still I’m very thankful for all the learning’s I had.

Continue to trust to God and everything will follow.

OPPORTUNITY KNOCK ONCE

It is a big blessing for me to be included in the family of CCF most especially in the CKC Project. This project helps me to be more active because at that time that I am just only a newcomer, I didn't talk nor participate in the activities of the office. However, through campings and trainings, I trained to overcome my shyness and I got acquainted to some people whom, in the latter, became my friends.
This project also provides me an opportunity to go from another places in the Philippines. Through the seminars, workshops and trainings attended, I had gone to Sorsogon and Lucban, Quezon. I also attended the 1st BCYA National Conference that was held in Mandaluyong City. But the most unforgettable moment that I was never imagine was the project sent me to represent again the 2nd BCYA National Conference in Cebu City. That was a great experience I ever had! All of my first times were happened during that time. The first time to ride in an elevator and in an aeroplane and to go to other island which is Visayas. I was truly enjoyed my trip because aside from acquiring extra knowledge and gaining new friends, I also had fun going there!
So when blessing comes, grab it because opportunity knock once.

I'M SO SICK

Last Friday, August 7, I woke up from my bed with a feeling of pain. My head and joints were very painful and it added more distressful because I have my cough and colds at the same time. I don't know why I got sick that day and it lasted actually only last Thursday, August 13.
Honestly, this was the first time that I've felt this kind of pain. The usual flu that I have when I was a kid was lasted only for one day. My medicines that cured me very effectively is Royal and siopao plus Biogesic. However, this time- it is very different. I drunk lots of water, took my medicines, ate fruits and vegetables but still I did not yet heal; maybe because one factor is I do not get enough rest.
'Though I'm not feeling well, I still insisted myself to teach the children of San Antonio, San Agustin and Binanuaanan Sur. I'm not then tired so I went to church; then, when I came home, I immediately slept because of my fatigue.
Thank God that I've only my cough and colds and I hope that my health will continue to recupirate.

may the Lord's will be done

It really hurts when someone that already seems to be especial would let you go and will leave you empty.

I just woke up one morning that I'm crying, reminiscing all those moments we have shared. Its hard to accept but we need to.I just need to understand that he need to give focus on his ministry and give his full time to serve God. I know in the fist place, when time comes that he need to make a choice I know that it will be his ministry would take first and be his priority. I’m still blessed that God gave me a person that I would love and share of my life. It’s a good thing that I've met like him not just an ordinary Christian but a true servant of God, a youth pastor and sooner to be a Pastor.

It just a little bit of sacrifice as we said, "four years”., could we surpassed this? Many questions that bother us, whether we could really wait and the affection would just be the same after four years. We need to take finish first our obligations and all those commitments, studies and ministry. We need to give time and need a focus for all of these to attain our goals and dreams in life. It always seems to be a part, to be hurt, and to sacrifice. We need to lose first before we gained. One way that will test us, that despite of distant the love would just be the same as it is before.

Everything is constantly changing. Only God knows what his very precious plan for us.

Learn to have faith, and have trust and patiently wait.

There's a time for everything as Ecclesiastes had mention today is time to mourn and weep ,some other time its a bliss and eternal joy.

As Matthew 6:33 says seek first the kingdom of God and all these shall be added unto you .And I know that we made the right choice, serve God first and whatever we had lost now will just be given best in the right time.

MONEY by Richard Armour

Workers earn it.
Spendthrifts burn it.
Bankers lend it.
Women spend it.
Forgers fake it.
Taxes take it.
Dying leave it.
Heirs receive it.
Thrifty save it.
Misers crave it.
Robbers seize it.
Rich increase it.
Gamblers lose it.
I could use it.

Overcoming Failures...

"We learn wisdom from failure much more than success. We often discover what we will do, by finding out what we will not do."

People faces challenges in life.Life became more meaningful because of trials and dilemmas. We usually failed, but we learned from this failures.We must know that there are really up's and downs in life. Do what we really think is right and never be afraid to commit mistakes.

End the end God is always there...^_^

...Happiness..

Men spend their lives in anticipations,—in determining to be vastly happy at some period when they have time. But the present time has one advantage over every other—it is our own. Past opportunities are gone, future have not come. We may lay in a stock of pleasures, as we would lay in a stock of wine; but if we defer the tasting of them too long, we shall find that both are soured by age.

hamlet

I feel relieved as we already finished our discussion on Hamlet. I admit that speaking is my weakness .I’m afraid if Maam Salamat would told me to speak in English when tine time when we already using Filipino. I don ‘t know if I’m already satisfied with my job ,if they really understand the discussion with the hamlet. I want to share my sentiments as I have studied the Hamlet I know that’s really hard to be in the shoes of hamlet having left alone with our love ones. For me even if have so many problems ,it’s just only one way that God tests our faith , molding our personality to be strong enough and God already sets everything for its purpose. Learn to trust and have faith just like Joseph the “dreamer”. Committing suicide as Hamlet had think of as alternative as escaping for the dilemma in this world is not a good and enough reason. Because life is a gift and we don’t right over it and only God.

Having God in our heart will give us an assurance to make life happier in times of our mourning.

Sentiments of a Bmers

Being a band member is not easy as they say, it’s full of commitments and obligations that need to be accomplished yet its feel rewarding and satisfying.
Though I did not use the band scholarship and I did not take P.E subject but I still to choose to be a band member and be a part of their suffering and hardships. It’s not easy to be band member, wherein sometimes we will sacrifice so many things ;subject to be sacrificed to attend such engagement (“tugtugan”) parade, funeral, processional, and other kinds of engagement as requested. I know it’s a part of obligations and responsibilities but sometimes it’s also gives burden to us, were also a student that need to attend our classes. What really hurts most was the time that you’ve sacrificed and perspired but you will hear comments” iyo n yan ang banda kan cssac”” maluyahon mn ay” .What if they try to be a part of the band and they will see how really hard it is and understand what does it feel. Another one instead of going home early and have our rest but we still need to attend our scheduled practiced that falls from Monday to Friday starts from 5:10-7:30 and including weekend .

But what seems to be irony even we already get hurt and tired but we are still continuing what we have started. Because it’s hard to give up things that make you feel satisfied and gives you happiness. What had Maam Salamat called it as a passion. On the other hand playing instruments gives us the satisfaction in spite of everything and happiness being with your co-band member that serves as your sisters and brothers .with my happy experiences with like having engagement in other places,like Naga,Legaspe, Calabanga,Gainza , Pili and other part of Camarines Sur. During our trip, laughing for no good reason , teasing with each other ,sharing of jokes and other things. Having our snacks and blessed if we have our lunch that we have our (aragawan) that even you already tired but with all these (kakalugan) its will just take it away.

I cannot leave one thing even if it’s cause so much hardships because its one way of having my the happiness that’s’ why I cannot leave the portals of our band room because it seems that I lost the one part of my life.

EXPERIENCE OF A YOUTH

I am an ordinary person with full of dreams and ambitions in life like many other youths. I want to serve my countrymen even in a small simple way that’s why I ran as an SK Councilor in our community. I was fortunate that I won and I got the second place out of the 7 slots aspiring to be one of it. I felt happy and lucky because even though that I’ve no relatives to vote me but still I got the position.
As expected, the more you are popular, the more you are critic by the people around you. As others say, “you cannot please everybody”. I’ve also encountered trials between me and my SK Chairman. A year ago that we had our misunderstanding after the seminar of DILG (ISKOLAR-BOS). I went to our Brgy. Captain’s residence to settle our problem (bad issue). Everytime that I went outside to buy something, some people called me “SK Chairman” (it’s a kind of insulting on my part) and there were some people (her siblings) who texted me in a bad and unrighteous words. I confessed all these things to the Brgy. Captain and to my SK Chairman for her to let know. After the pleasant talk and advices given by the Brgy. Captain, we reconciled each other.
However, in an unexpected occurrence, we had again our misunderstanding. The issue is about my signature. What was happened was I did not sign the letter of resolution because of my valid reason. I’m not against on the project stated because it is for the benefits of the children but I just only want a proper and legitimate process. According to the resolution, we had agreed the said project last June 28, 2009 in which we have no meetings yet starting this January. How did it happen? As far as I know, writing a resolution was discussed during the said seminar. Someone texted me for a second time around in an unmannered way just this week. I felt bad because all I want is to have a fair and clean discussion.
In my reflection, it’s very hard to deal with other people who can’t and doesn’t understand you. It’s just like telling the truth/ teaching what is right but ignores you because they have their own decision and doesn’t accept their mistakes.

be thankful with supplication

Be Thankful with Supplication

We have our different journey in life, sometimes when we feel the pain, suffering, heartaches and trials that we are about to give –up. Stop for a while and try to figure out whether to continue or just turn our back, just be still and wait for whatever may come.

We have different cross to carry on our shoulder in our everyday life. We see other people’s happiness that sometimes we become envy with this scene. Take a little pause and think, maybe it’s just a disguise and something must need to discover. I see life as something mysterious; that I’ve seen the greatness of God. They have everything but still empty. What I mean, there’s a lot of rich people but still unsatisfied with their life and still unhappy. Some also have the talent in dancing but not with acting, can act well but not cannot sing even a with single line, or can sing but can’t draw even a caricature. Can play a musical instrument but can’t solve mathematical problems, some have beauty but not with brain. And as we can see the butterfly which have attractive and colorful wings that just carefree, and sometimes we think to be like them to have not encounter with so many problems. But behind this, their life exists only for one week, so were really blessed that we could still enjoy so many things in this world even if its failure. God is really good, isn’t? For He knows the best in us Its just little observation and I know you could also see this, what a beautiful scenario in life.
We are simply the actress of our own movie ,it will just depends on how we will act, because its one way of determining what we could be in future whether it will be a meaningful ,or just a vain

Follow your dreams..

The question for each man to settle is not what he would do if he had means, time, influence and educational advantages; the question is what he will do with the things he has. The moment a young man ceases to dream or to bemoan his lack of opportunities and resolutely looks his conditions in the face, and resolves to change them, he lays the corner-stone of a solid and honorable success.

Inspiring...

The song "Sounds of Silence" really inspires us. It awakened our hearts and minds that Silence is really "Deafening", if we're afraid to express what's all in our mind. Just like me, I am the kind of person who chooses not to speak or be silent in spite of my enthusiasm to express what I want to.A lot says that I do lack self-esteem and self-confidence, well that is true. I'm too shy to speak in front of too many people. But I know I have to because I am a future teacher. I know I need to develop what I have to and overcome my weaknesses.

I just want to share this poem of mine entitled:

Ifs of a Mortal

If only I could tell
then I would not have written.

If only I could could conceive
then I would not have doubted.

If only I could see
then I would not have been shocked.

If only I have heard
then I would not have been ignorant.

If only I have been blessed
then I could give more.

If only I am wise
then I would not have been cheated.

If only I was loved
then I could have love more.

If only I had fully trusted in His will
then I would not have gone astray.

If only I allowed Him to become ardent
and strong within my heart
then I would not have blamed myself.

love of a parents

As we discussed the poem entitled How do I Love thee , Maam Salamat is right that we are blessed to have parents. Because their love is infinite and cannot be measure of any means .They were not expecting in return. Seeing their children that is in good hand they will already satisfied and fulfilled. I proved that how many times, my parents always think for our needs, give their love, provide our needs and everything.

Literature...What?!?

Honestly, I feel pressure and tense when I entered to my class of Ma'am Salamat. I feel sick eventhough I'm not sick and prefer to be silent all throughout because I'm afraid to call my name and if I'm not prepare to answer her question. It's very hard on my part to adjust and cope with her lesson that I know in myself that I'm not good in that subject matter- Literature. One question in my mind is that how will I adjust if I don't feel like the subject? It's good that she's our teacher because when she teach, she has the passion when she explains the lesson. Good luck to me...

The Greatness of Jesus


As I'm looking for my reviewing materials I found this notes and I want also to share it to you that shows how great Jesus is.

"There may be another Homer, there maybe another Virgil, there may be another Dante, there maybe another Milton, but there will never be another Jesus. Whatever surprise there maybe in store for the world, Jesus will never surpassed. He is the goal of all goodness, the summit of all thought, the crown of all character and the perfection of all beauty. He is incarnation of all tenderness , the focalization of force , the manifestation of might, the personification of all power, the concentration of all character, the materialization of thought, and the living illustration of all thought ,and the living illustration of all truth .He is the prophecy of man's possibility"

"We behold Him, and in Him we see the realization of all human expectation: a leader greater than Moses, a priest greater that Aaron, a king greater than David, a commander greater than Joshua, a philosopher greater than Solomon and a prophet greater than Elijah. He walks like a man. He talks like God. His words are oracles, His acts miracles. The crown of divinity rests on His brow. The scepter of universal dominion clings to His hand, the eternities flash in His eyes. Eternal rectitude is written in His face: the smile of Jehovah transforms His countenance"

"He is the express image of His Father. Children cluster at His feet. Womanhood instinctively places the crown of purity on His brow. The winds obey Him .A glance from His eyes and crystal waters blush to amber wine. The dead forget themselves and live. The lame leap for joy. Ears which never heard thirst for the very sound of His voice and sightless eyes deny their past and open their drooping lids to the beauty of His presence .Pain, palsied at His touch, vanishes”

"The name of Jesus stands alone .God has given Him a name which is above every name, no creed can contain Him, no catechism can expound Him .Flesh of our very flesh, very God of our very God. To be christian is to live in Christ .Until Him be the glory, dominion and power for ever and ever.

LIFE IS TOO SHORT

"You will remember, appreciate and count what one person had done when he or she was lost or died"- this is one of the realities of the attitude which is common to the Filipino people.
I've become more aware of this when my friend's mother was passed away just last few weeks. It's too late for her that she doesn't feel to her mother how much she loves her because when her mother was alive then, they argued each other and since that she is the eldest and the only girl among the siblings.
In my case, I don't want to lose my mother and blame myself that I cannot show or say how much I love my parents especially my mother. It became an eye opener for me to give more love and appreciation to her. From the time that she carried me for 9 months and nurtured me up to now, I can prove and proud to say to myself how much she loves me. In return, all the things that I made is dedicated for her. So while my mother still there, I make sure that I show my love and let her feel that I love her by kissing, hugging and saying " I love you" and serving and helping her through some simple works.
In general, let's recognize of every little things our mother does for us. Let's not waste our single day to make them feel how much we love them. Live life to the fullest!

FIRST IMPRESSION

As an ordinary student of this College, i don't give much of my attention to the things in which for me are irrelevant. After our classes, I preferred to stayed at the Library or go back to the boarding house, get rest, read and further study the things we had discussed in class. But sometimes, I keep on recalling my past memories during my first two years here in CSSAC..
I smiled every time i get to remember my College friends and classmates telling me that I look like "mataray" the first time they met me. I just smiled at them when they told me about it. Because they had the same impression to me like my other friends.
But as the days and years past by, they are telling me now about their observations to me in this way..."bako ka man palan talagang mataray..","akala ko daw kaidto dai kita magiging close..","hmm,yan si April dai ko yan kadto pinapansin ta matarayon makahiling, pero ngunyan ilinga ta iyo kong pirming nakakaiba,.."....These statements of my friends really implanted on my memory and i am glad that their impression to me has changed and it turns into positive..
"First impression never last"=)
