Wouldn’t you like to know….

If you could ask the person you like three questions, what would they be?
Submitted by meuuy at vox.com

1. Have you eaten?….So that I would know if the guy is willing to spend a meal for me^^

2. Would you like to engage in a fund raising campaign?….So that I will know if he is honest or not^^

3. Will you describe this male model for me? …So that I would know if he is gay or not^^

behind the scenes…a love to kill

A Loving Godchild

I had the opportunity to visit my godchild after a long time of not doing so….”how cold hearted I had been” T_T…..Though when I finally visited her she was asleep and they wanted to wake her up but I told them not to do so coz she looked so tired…..and I don’t wanna bother…..though I know if she’ll see me she’d be so very happy coz I know she misses me much^^…..

In a way I felt like,  though we don’t see each other that much….I still feel closer to her as her godparent….

She was actually born deaf…..yet every time I see her she always gives me a message which is so clear….and that is she needs me and I am so important to her…..though I haven’t given her much attention and love,  she always consider me as special in her life…..and I thank her for that…..

Love To Hate

Someone asked this at vox.com…….Show us something you love to hate…….

My family always makes it a point not to let me eat food which could make my BP rise….I am hypertensive due to my fondness to salty foods…ouch!….Though I’ve manage to maintain my BP now than before^^…Once I got home after work and I was too hungry to eat already (I knew there were cooked crabs -my fave seafood, but they won’t show them to me-it’s a no no^^)….But since I was really stubborn so I told them…..”I got my pay cheque today^^!”….Suddenly….my sister said to my Mom…..”MAMA…..What are you still waiting for….GET THOSE CRABS….hehe!….And so I got what I wanted….but thank God I asked them to join me in eating them^^

Heroes Don’t Lose Faith

It’s really quite difficult to search for a hero in this modern age, in this generation where injustice, poverty, and immorality rule…

I agree with what this certain journalist said about how some leaders in Asia and in other parts of the world lose their “heroic charms” once they can’t change or better yet improve some institutions or systems governing their own people…

Remember the time when Moses despite his good leadership, had experienced instances where his followers had turned away and lost faith and confidence in him… Remember even Jesus Christ with all His heroic acts was even betrayed by His follower and friend Judas, who wanted Jesus as a brave and gallant hero, who would rise up against the Romans and change drastically their system of government back then…Instead Jesus chose to have it peacefully and was crucified as a prize for being a hero, a good man….

Today we have so many good leaders around the world yet their characters change once the system had swallowed their faith, their morality…It’s hard for them to play fair and square…They deal with dirty tactics to get what they want, even in making changes and reforms they deviate from the rules, because the system itself is filthy…If you play it fair, you won’t stay long, you will be crucified too,  just like Jesus……But then, just like Jesus let us think positively and have true faith….. Why not take the chance?…..We need leaders or heroes who don’t lose their faith……Who should be like Jesus……He never gives up until now…..

Thirsty No More

Why is it when you are thirsty and you drink water,  you won’t feel the thirst anymore unlike when you drink a soda or something which has some color, you still aren’t satisfied….

That’s how important pure water is to us….Just like when you have something which is pure and simple within you, it makes you feel comfortable, satisfied, peaceful….

I would compare water to the One above….We try to satisfy ourselves here on earth with lots of things, they may be cool, attractive, wonderful, awesome, yet something is still missing in our lives….if we don’t let the One above enter our very heart, our very soul….

When we are in war, in chaos, in tragedy we call on Him….but when we are in comfort, in luxury, in ecstasy, we most of the time don’t….

We aren’t yet home if we don’t call on Him…but once we needed Him….we will no longer be thirsty…

Life Is Beautiful

peace and waves

Indeed, life is beautiful…..Imagine how those little creatures survive despite the bad weather we have every now and then…..Imagine how ants would bump into each other, then you would see them trying to make “bayanihan” pulling together a “gigantic” food they had discovered!…..How some sparrows would even stay on high voltage wires without getting electrocuted and enjoy every minute of it….How little kids would understand each other when they play even without talking…..Life is beautiful!

We live in a world where love and hate dwells yet love survives despite of it all….We live in doubts, in worries, even in turbulence yet hope could erased them all….Life is beautiful…

If you cry now it doesn’t matter for tomorrow your tears will all be gone….there is a mystery, a beautiful mystery beyond those tears of yours that you have yet discovered…

Life is beautiful more than you could ever imagine!

I Am My Father’s Child

there’s warmth in my father’s love

Twelve years ago, I heard a song I seldom hear now, but I had a ten-minute peace when I first heard it….It was in a seminary when we had to accompany our friend who wanted to become a priest…The four of us then including the one entering priesthood were very close to our Dads…So when a seminarian during a program for neophytes sang….. “I am my Father’s child”..we became so quiet…I remember Buboy, his father then died just two months ago…Mine it was then just two years ago, and Mike and Buru were so close with their fathers as well….I guess the four of us got so emotional when we heard the song…

God is our Father…We are children of God as the song says…

I remember a couple of hours before my father died, he asked my mother to call me early in the morning (I was still sleeping) and stay with him….I had no idea that it will be the last day we will be together..He made sure that my Mom was out in his room and my siblings when he told me….”This afternoon, I will die already”….(I was shocked…can’t say anything)”…..”Don’t tell your Mom and your brothers and sisters coz I might scare them.”…(What about me huh?)

I thought that he was just joking coz just three days ago then (he loves to joke actually) he was asking me about who won in the basketball game between his favorite team and its opponent (So how could you just say that you’re dying after three days of being a sports fan?)…But that morning was different…There was something in the tone of his voice that I didn’t like and made me so scared…..I wanted to cry already….but I had to be strong…Gathering all my strength I said….”Don’t say that..You’ll still live for a long time….Remember Hezekiah…You will be like him…I know that”……….He smiled…….”Thank you….but our Father, the Most Powerful of all is calling me now……Mercado is calling me now” (Our neighbor’s name is Jesus Mercado, so he meant Jesus)…and managed to give me the sweetest smile he could give despite that weak and pale face……I began to cry slowly but without sound , hiding my face in his pillow…..I knew he wanted me to be as strong as he was so I needed to show some courage….if not he might not die so peacefully so I had to slowly and painfully let go……..

My father died peacefully in the afternoon as he predicted……..

What I learned from my own father was….We should all be good sons and daughters….as well as good parents to our children…….All his life he became obedient and loyal  to the Father…..He was truly our Father’s child….

To all our loving Fathers out there….Happy Fathers Day!….

What matters most…..

When I was just a little girl my late father would read me books and share his thoughts about them….I think he was a genius….and the one who got all those wisdom in him is my older brother….and me, I was just a papa’s girl hehe  who would happily listen to him and admire his wit…

The good thing about him was everyone I think  paid  attention on what he said…..He had charisma….He was very articulate and a good conversationalist…He didn’t choose the person he would talk with…He knew how to listen…Even if you are the most boring person in the whole world, he would still listen…He  easily convinced others . …I think it’s because he was a very honest person…

I thought of him today because he is my inspiration…even if I didn’t inherit some of those wit…what matters is he gave me so much love and understanding while he was living…

Being Positive

It really makes a big difference if you have happy people around you…Even if you just live a simple life..it makes you feel satisfied already…

My mother had difficulty walking but it seems like she doesn’t worry much about it…So now I have to show her the same thing…..So we manage to have fun while I was putting a bandage on that part which was aching….it removes some worries we have regarding her condition…

In any endeavor, if we do not love the things that we do…it will be useless…..If you can’t accept some situations you have to face…the more you’ll suffer…
Even if situations don’t seem to become right and nice for us….we should find ways to make things easier for us and face the challenges given to us….maybe at first it’s difficult…but you’ll get positive results if you face everything with courage…..

Unforgettable Moment

We all have some moments that we cherished in our lives…

This one really touched me so deeply…It was when I had to take an examination and I had to leave at early dawn…My parents woke up earlier than I and even prepared breakfast for me…The three of us shared an early meal then while my siblings were all asleep and when it was time for me to leave (I had to walk several blocks to my classmates house) they didn’t take their eyes off me until I reached my destination…at early dawn I could see them looking at me from a distance..standing near our gate…and waved  at me as I turn my back once in a while to see if they’re still looking at me…and yes they did…

It was still dark then but I felt like all the lights in the world were lighted because I felt the love they had for me…
