DAMN!

BULLSHIT!!! 

Bakit may mga natatanggap sa trabaho kahit BOBO!!!!

PILGRIM's THEME.. ;)

nice ;)

Kapag sinabi ko bang ayoko na, pakakawalan mo ba ako?

I love what am doing, everything seems like a perfect pieces of puzzle fits into place. Everything except salary? hahahaha!

I honestly don't know how to write the thoughts that keeps on bothering me.I cannot withstand the fact that am no longer happy in terms of remuneration package being received from my company. I must admit that what keeps me holding back is the friendship and the passion of my team which is evident everyday. 

Ilang beses kong iniwasang isulat ang bagay na ito but I really can't help it. Sa totoo lang hindi ko naman din talaga alam kung salary lang ba talaga ang problema ko or is it really the system that I am getting tired of.

Yung pakiramdam that you are floating in the air with no direction at all seems really is a burden. Yung tipong independent ka and completely alone. Hindi ko na alam pero honestly ang tagal ko nang gustong itanong to eh..

"Pag sinabi ko bang ayoko na, pakakawalan mo ba ako?"  ;)

Second Chances

 Remember that the reason why Jonas experienced this major obstacle is when he disobey God on the order to went to Ninive and preach the Gospel. Instead, he went to Tharsis,  a place across Ninive. In the middle of his journey, God sent storm and he was lurked by a fish.After realizing his disobedience to God, he prayed in the deepest of his heart..then God saved him and order him again to preach in Ninive... 

God is giving us second chances..that is how Omniscient and Forgiving He is.

Jonah 2:1-10

New International Version (NIV)

2 ^1 [a]From inside the fish Jonah prayed to the Lord his God. ² He said:

“In my distress I called to the Lord,
    and he answered me.
From deep in the realm of the dead I called for help,
    and you listened to my cry.

³ You hurled me into the depths,
    into the very heart of the seas,
    and the currents swirled about me;
all your waves and breakers
    swept over me.

⁴ I said, ‘I have been banished
    from your sight;
yet I will look again
    toward your holy temple.’

⁵ The engulfing waters threatened me,^[b]
    the deep surrounded me;
    seaweed was wrapped around my head.

⁶ To the roots of the mountains I sank down;
    the earth beneath barred me in forever.
But you, Lord my God,
    brought my life up from the pit. 

⁷ “When my life was ebbing away,
    I remembered you, Lord,
and my prayer rose to you,
    to your holy temple. 

⁸ “Those who cling to worthless idols
    turn away from God’s love for them.

⁹ But I, with shouts of grateful praise,
    will sacrifice to you.
What I have vowed I will make good.
    I will say, ‘Salvation comes from the Lord.’”

¹⁰ And the Lord commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.

 

 

LEGO: The Classic Brain Twister

Sunday seems to be the busiest day at SM Mall of Asia, thousands of people here and everywhere having their "me-time" with their love ones. The family bonding is still the best part of long weekends. As we stroll though every nook of the place, I have notice a beautiful LEGO Town built at the center of the Mall. I was really amazed by how it was meticulously assembled as a little town.

Having seen the beautiful creation, I started to travel back in time, wondering if someone does not knew Lego, he/she may not have passed his/her childhood life. but for the sake of those who have no idea what is LEGO is, I tried to phrase some of my stored knowledge about the game.

LEGO building bricks are hard plastic construction blocks, with studs on them so they stay tightly together. They come in many shapes and forms and are great to play with.

Last Sunday, together with my cousin, we witness the Fireman Lego Building at SM Mall of Asia. It was mostly participated by kids together with their attending guardians. And yes! it was really a whole lot of fun creating different figures and even anime were also been created through building dice of Lego.

While all participants were busy with their crafts, these LEGO Contest Organizers were also busy building the main character of the event..The LEGO Fireman.

After finishing the nighty-gritty head of the fireman, it is now set to established a full figure of a Lego-Fireman. 

Having witness the building of this craft, there were Lego parts which has been falling while they are trying to fit in the body. It can be considered the staff's concern while building their fireman since several times misalignment of the body and the head has been figured out.

And after patience and hardwork, presto! they are able to built the LEGO Fireman. 

But hey, there was one thing I failed to assume, hmmm..am thinking how many LEGO (dice) has been used in building this huge Fireman... hehehe..;)

At the end of the day, the most rewarding part for me is the building of my old time friendship with my cool and handsome cousin..hey! we have not seen each other for the past 7 years! hahaha!!! love you cuz!

DETOUR

When I was in Highshool, I clearly remember that by the month of February, a lot of Slum Books and Autograph Notebooks has been sold out in the market, simply because of Valentines and Graduation. In the lower part of these books (if I remember it right) there was a question goes like asking who are your friends or sort of what is friendship means or who was your best friend. Funny and silly thoughts of me.

This article maybe rude and sarcastically written, but hey! don't get it wrong this is a free flowing of thoughts and blotted ink. As I am picking broken pieces of the thoughts and experiences I have had lately from having medical consultations and problems sort of personal issues I have realized many things but the core of the realization boils down to a certain question which actually hurts me for I can't actually find the answer..

What is Friendship?

As I remember my days from elementary to high school up to college, I remember I had acquaintances and friends. The first ones are those people who just abruptly drop by and gives lesson through experiences but never with have close attachment with me. The second were the people whom I shared my personal life with, people who loves me and are part of me when am wearing my house clothes without anything for projection.

And so, these friends were taken care of ever since, they were kept into a treasure box for decades. 

But hey! lately, it's as if I was hit by a train, when I realize that, there were few who stays with me, who keeps in touch, who still treat me as part of their daily lives and who still care even if my work load have melted my entirety. Then I start opening my treasure box and found out that these two souls remain there.

1. Ross (my prayer-buddy and ever loving boyfriend)

2. Ed (my comrade through trials and triumphs)

3. who else? duh!

Funny, but it really pains me to know that these two persona did exist when I am almost at lost. These two body fixes everything which everyone thought was unbreakable.

There were "friends" whom I called up several times but to no avail. A girl, who always posts happy thoughts of her relationship and is now getting married which in fact, cannot even remember me as part of her plans, thoughts when am just a text away. Sad thing is that, when you were together, other names is being use to addressed you. (funny, but it hurts!)

Of course, I know the fact that these friends were not oblige to stay nor think of me everyday, they have their own lives, own miseries, own struggles, own everything..except remembering me.

Talking to someone made me realize that yeah, I did live a good life. A good daughter, a good servant of church, a good ignorant. damn it!

Am taking turns now, if only I can bring back time, I should have not live a life that is safe and ideal. I should have not build fences of idealism and impossibilities. It should have been a fearless and adventurous one.

I should have been more sensitive to acquaintances, I should've been more cautious about keeping the old ones.

For real, I do not believe anymore in the saying that goes;

 "It's not the quantity of friends that you have, but the quality of friendship build along the way"

Sometimes, it is in the quantity of people around you that can build bridges of comfort, of new sense of direction and a rejuvenating soul after the storm..

I should fear not.. the road is under repair..DETOUR.

An Empty Vessel

There are points in our lives where we feel more important than others. We feel as if we are superior above all else, we tend to forget the reality that all of what we have was actually not ours but just an accountability that in the end of time will be submitted back to the Owner.

Everyday, I admit imperfections, am not perfect, I am human, I get hurt, I get even, I get angry, I get mad, I am weak, I have infirmities, but God always search me, He knows my ways for He does loves me. God is so good to embrace me with His stubborn love.

These shortcomings and imperfections remind me that I am nothing without God who strengthens me. I am an empty vessel longing to be filled by His spirit, by His wisdom, by His guidance..I am an empty vessel..I am nothing compared to what He is. And this reality is indeed a blessing that reminds me that my life has to be spent according to His will. 

Amidst success, achievements, fame and authority, I still bow my knees at the end of the day, lifting my hand, praising Him for I am Empty without His guidance. I am nothing without God. And I really don't know how to thank Him for all that He has done.

I will be singing and prasing Him, a hymmn of praise. And as long as I am reminded of my Emptyness, my voice will be raise solely to sing HIS PRAISES.. for that is my saving grace..
