Please Be Man Enough
I have always been with my guy friends. Gimiks, Galaan, Barkada. I've been with my elder brothers and have been close with such people. I have always been amazed with their personalities and uniqueness. The way they handle things, the way they live, the way they mysteriously make up their lovelives, the way they strive to get what they want in life and so much more. But unfortunately, not all of them stood up and been man enough.
"Let's be man enough" - I often hear this from my brother whenever he talks to guys. Being a real man is not having womEn with you, make women love you, having relationships with hundrends of them, etc. It's not measured with how many girls you had in your life. You don't have to be physically strong or to be handsome. You dont have to have your own car or have a lot of money to say you're the man.
Being a real man(for me, ofcourse, it's my blog) is being responsible. Responsible of what?
Can you remember the Adam-Eve story? When Eve ate the fruit of knowledge and had been tempted to disobey God. Eve shouldn't have eaten that if Adam was with her. Adam, as what God has told him, should be responsible not only of taking responsible of everyTHING, but as well as to be responsible of his wife. He should have been with his wife - taking responsible with the decision of whether eating the fruit or not.

But the Lord called to the man, "Where are you?"
-Genesis 3:9
I'm not a man hater huh! I just want to express my self! heeHee! Love you guys!
-Genesis 3:9
The Lord called the man because was HIDING from God. Sometimes, man tend to hide and run away from their responsibilities God has bestowed to them.SOME of them tend to run and hide from their very own self, from what they feel. Sometimes, they're not assure of themselves. Like women, they do need love and feel that they have been loved but they just drive their selves crazy-telling they're not just to say they're man enough. Sometimes, they dont want to face their fears. Well, fear is always present, Having COURAGE is not. Sometimes, they just hang themselves when they're about to take risks. Sometimes, they measure life and just want to be sure of the path they're about to take. Sometimes, they didn't mean what they say. Sometimes, they unconciously ruin women's lives. They break hearts, and say their not responsible for it. Sometimes, they just see women as friends without being sensitive enough that these friends are one of the greatest responsiblity that God had given them.
Fortunately, I have brothers (biological/non-bio) who are CAPTIVATED with their responsiblities. They live not hiding with these responsibilities. They see girls as if they were their sisters - bearing in mind that they should be taken care of.
Fortunately, I have brothers who knows how to face their inside feelings, strong enough to face a 2-faced(lose or win) reality when they are about to take a risk. They're man enough to face defeat and humble enough when they won. They have courage to face their greatest defeat and stand up to fight again.

CAMP na!
Naeexcite na talaga ko ngayon pa lang. Hindi ko naman kasi akalain na makakasama na naman ako sa Camp. Napakamemorable na naman ng paraan na ginawa ni God kaya ako nakasama. Hindi ito isang kakapalan ng muka kundi isang grace ni PapaGod.
Sunday ng umaga nun. Sa church. Papunta pa lang ako , iniisip ko na na hindi na naman ako makakasama. Total, hindi naman sasama ung majority ng mga friends-since-birth. Sabi ko rin sa friend ko.. "Nako! hindi na ko makakasama, hindi ko naman dala ung pera ko". sabi niya "wag kang negative, wala pa ngang nangyayari". Nung araw na ring yon, yun na ung last day para maka-pasok sa P800 na bayad ng camp.. kasi P1500 na pag hindi nagdown o nakapagregister(sa pagkakaalam ko). Ayon, hanggang sa nagbenediction na, inaasahan kong hindi ako talaga makakasama. Nako! Lalu na't hindi ako ng tithes! Ayon, dahil andon na rin si Ptr. Ron, kapatid kong mahal ay siya na ang pinagbenediction (on the spot). Tapos, hanggang sa matatapos na ung service.. "The Lord be gracious.. gracious unto you..". Finifeel ko talaga ung kantang yon.. Haha! tapos ayon na. Uwian na.. Uwian na literal pero hindi pa maguuwian ang mga tao.
Sabi ng isa kong friend-since-birth na si Cha2. Sasama daw siya at bayad na! Grabe! Parang guguho ung mundo ko dahil feeling ko, ako na lang ang maiiwan na youth sa church. Nilapitan ko ung kapatid kong panganay, pero wala daw siyang pera. Ayon.. mejo hopeless na. Tapos, pumunta kami ni Cha sa office ng Secretary ng church. Ilalabas na kasi rin ung Newsletter na ni-Layout ko. Tapos ayon. sabi ni Cha, "Tara! Solicit tayo." Tapos, may nag-react na 2 tao na hindi ko na babanggitin. Hanggang sa inabutan ako ng P200. Sabi ko, sige, magrergister na ko. Eh hindi pa ko pinapayagan ni Mama non. Sabi ko, basta, magreregister na ko.. Kahit anong mangyari. Tapos, tinanong ako, sabi "O, kelan mo ibibigay yung P600?" Iniisip ko talaga na gagmitin ko na lang ung love gift ko. Kaya lang, kulang pa rin. Pero ok na. Hindi naman siguo sa kakapalan ng muka ko. Pero siguro, hindi na ko nahiyang lapitan ung Ninang ko.. Hanggang sa nakompleto na ung P800. Nung una, hindi pa ko papayagan sana ni Mama, pero sabi niya. "Papayagan kita, pero dapat makapag-raise ka ng pera para makama". O! anong saya! at naging daluyan ng blessings ang mga taong iyon. Hinding hindi ko sila makaklimutan talaga. At surely ay iblebless pa sila ni Papa God.
Nakakatuwa. Sabihin na nilang O.A. ako or what pero nagpapasalamat talaga ko kay Papa God. Weeeh! Camp na!

The life I am dreaming of...
When I was a kid, I'm dreaming of being an astronaut. It was a "selfish" dream of me. I just want fame and money. Then, when I'm in high school, when I started to watch GMA Docu's, I dream of becoming a Doctor to be able to go to the different barrios here in the Philippines. I was wondering if I could help people specially those who cant afford to pay for a doctor's service. I was really really touched by these kind of people and ofcourse, by their stories. When I'm in 4th year, I dream of becoming a psychologist/sociologist (any field related in this kind of social science) to be able to help people with their lives.
But here I am, a 4th year IT student. Gadgets, gizmos and computers are surrounding me. I might be a part of those people who JUST makes other's lives easier. Not a part of those people who could help to change lives. But, ofcourse, life is a matter of choice, it's still up to me- how will I be able to help people.. people who are in need.
I believe that God put me in this kind of field. I find it enjoyable as I learn to love the course where He put me. No wonder, that God will help me to boost my career and give me a job where I can earn more than what I can think.
But.. I am not living my life for myself alone... not anymore. What will I do with money?[Well ofcourse, I want to pay my parents back more from what they had given me. ] When all of my life, God had teach me to live by faith. What will I do with fame? If all I want to do now is to live my life in a way that others may know Christ.
Oh well, oh well... my life is about my purpose on earth. It's about what God is directing me to do. It's about knowing Him and letting others know Him. It's not about myself. It's not about my own ambitions.. not my own dreams.. But the dreams that He had inspired me...
My life that has been full or storms.. storms that gives me the opportunity to trust Him.
My life is to love others.. So that others may feel how deeply Christ had loved me.
Yeah, my life is not yet fulfilled. But it was already filled by His love and grace. So, I am here.. fulfilling the life He's planning for me.

Obsession
What can i do with my obsession
With the things i cannot see
Is there madness in my being
Is it the wind that moves the trees?
Sometimes You're further than the moon
Sometimes You're closer than my skin
And You surround me like a winter fog
You've come and burned me with a kiss
And my heart burns for You
And my heart burns...for You
And i'm so filthy with my sin
i carry pride like a disease
You know i'm stubborn, Lord,
and i'm longing to be close
You burn me deeper than i know
And i feel lonely without hope
And i feel desperate without vision
You wrap around me like a winter coat
You come and free me like a bird
my love burns for You
and my heart feels for You
my life good for You
all i have burns for you, you
burns, burns, oh la la la la la la
my love burns for You
..
my heart burns for You..
With the things i cannot see
Is there madness in my being
Is it the wind that moves the trees?
Sometimes You're further than the moon

And my heart burns for You
And my heart burns...for You
And i'm so filthy with my sin
i carry pride like a disease
You know i'm stubborn, Lord,
and i'm longing to be close
You burn me deeper than i know
And i feel lonely without hope
And i feel desperate without vision
You wrap around me like a winter coat
You come and free me like a bird
my love burns for You

Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all out, just as they are, chaff and grain together, certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and with a breath of kindness blow the rest away. ~Dinah Craik
I felt it shelter to speak to you. ~Emily Dickinson
No road is long with good company. ~Turkish Proverb
Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom. ~Marcel Proust
The WellSpring of Life
Proverbs 4:23
But there's come an instance where I have to choose between love and life. Love, where life had given me a chance to fight for the one I loved against Life to forget the one I loved, to live and wait for the one God created for me.
So I asked God for help and He did. He opened my eyes and let me see things I have never seen before. He taught me the importance of present and future. He made me realize that life isn't really fair so you have to choose really what you really want.
And finally, I have chosen life against love because if I choose love today and not wait for the one God created for me then I could not have the reason to live and love.. and to live and love for tomorrow.
Integrity Award
Siguro nga , ang pinakamasakit na na nagawa ng estudyante sa kanyang guro ay mangodigo, mangopya o mandaya sa kahit ano mang exam.
Kanina ay wala kaming subject sa OS, naabutan ko pang gumagawa ng assigment ang ilan kong mga friends sa kani-kanilang upuan. Ayon, may source sila ng sagot ng teacher namin sa naturang assignment, galing sa ibang section. Natural, cheating yon. Ibang iba yon sa original nilang answer. Masakit nga.. oo.. hindi dhil nataasan nila ako o dahil naperfect nila ung assignment kea ako naiinis.. pero alam mo yon, dinaya kasi nila. niloloko lang nila ang mga sarili nila.. Eh sa sama ko [dhil tao lang naman ako], mejo napamukha ko sa katabi ko na perfect siya dahil sa kopya lang yon.
Ayon, napatunayan rin siguro ng quiz kanina. Biglaang nagbigay si Mam ng quiz. Syempre, pag di mo alam ung gagawin mo, dahil hindi mo naman prinactice ung assigment mo, mahihirapan ka.
Hindi ko alam kung anong result ng quiz ko dun. Basta, I did my best. my best, not my teacher's best. [Sorry classmates]
Ayon, kanina, sa programming namin sa FIleOrg, naghanda ng activity si Mam [prof ko], ayon..kung tutuusin ay di ko naman magagawa yon dahil nageerror at hindi ko kabisado ng gaano ung codes na ginamit ko last sem sa aming SAD. pero sa tulong ni God, ilang click lang at mga type sa keyboard.. ayon, nasagutan.
nakakatuwang isipin na nirerewardan ni God ang kaniyang mga anak in simple ways na nagproprovide Siya ng wisdom para sa mga ito. Hindi niya ito pinababayaan o something.
Nakatuwa. ang sarap maawardan ng Integrity Award. Yung feeling mo, malinis ung papel mo sa harap ni Lord. at hindi sa harap ng tao..
Sweet!
Beautiful Stars
Once again, I've seen these beautiful stars from the heavens. It's been years since the last time I looked up and appreciate them. Before, when I'm on my way home, I'll just went on walking, sometimes my eyes closed or my head down because I''m tired. Gladly, I have time to see those stars again.
