how's my daily walk?

everyday I used to take a brisk walk from our house to the village's main road. there are a lots of people i see on my way, kids playing on the street, an old lady sitting in her chair watching the birds go fly, a busy mom picking up her daughter for school, a vendor busy selling his fresh goods and others. while walking and taking a look at these people, i always whisper a prayer to God that sometimes i do it with a clear voice asking God to give me comfort while I'm traveling and to send me to work before 9:15AM hits the clock. And it is not quite a big surprise that God always give me His favor.

Never Been

never been in disco or bar
never been in night life's
never been involve in any fraternity
never been taste wine or vodka
never been drunk
never been involved in drugs...
and that's who i am.

people may think that i'm crazy, old-fashioned and innocent but its not really matters to me. i choose to live the way life would be easy, fair, blessed and highly favored. you know what's my secret?

my secret is Jesus, well, in fact it may not be a secret for all of us. well Jesus taught me how to fully surrender to Him, how to honor Him in my life, how to please Him in every single task that I have to do.

hey, i just want you to know that life is too short to be little. enjoy life while enjoying in God's loving arms. He will never leave you nor forsake you. He will be an ever present help in times of trouble. He didn't promise that life would be fair or a bed of roses, or a fantasy but He promise His love will always be with you. Nothing can separate you from the love of God (Romans 28 & 30) All you have to do is to go on bended knees, return to God He is just waiting for you. He knows that you have a heavily burden heart. He knows exactly what you need. He can be your very bestfriend if you'll just let Him in.

My friend I tried Jesus, and even until now there were no regrets.

I assure you more than 100%, more than what you can believe, He is really true.

dream big

On my recently posted article, I've mentioned that I dreamed of being a haciendera, riding in a white horse with a basket on the back full of fresh harvests from my own farm. Last night, when I've got the chance to share it to one of my workmates, with eagerly anticipating that he will be appreciative telling him this, but I was shocked when he blotted out his opinion on my face while his big black eyes staring at me telling me that it wont and can never happen for the price of land nowadays is too high. Neither that in the early days of our ancestors it can that as far as their bare eyes can see and their horse can run that is the size of their property. Oh, what a foolish opinion. I felt so sorry for myself for just a minute or so, but when I was alone in the train I started to ponder on things out. I started to tell myself that it's not important what other people think of me and how do they perceive things, its what and how I believe. I'm serving a big God where impossibilities are unknown to Him. I am a child of God and who can hinder my blessings, what can man do to me? Nothing, nothing and absolutely nothing. Jeremiah 33:3 "For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a bright future".

happy mother's day!
mom is not perfect, very demanding in terms of academic grades, strict (no boyfriend during studies but I failed to keep it), can still do the laundry till 2am, can sleep 2 hours and get up early at 5pm to prepare our breakfast and baon at school. well, I thank the Lord for giving me a mom like her, she is so precious a treasure that is worth keeping in my heart. (hahahahh sipsip) anyway she may not read this blog but I am not bribing her for whatever reason or so, but here is what I can only say, "Nanay, salamat po sa iyo. Salamat at ako ay binigyan ng Lord ng katulad mo mapagaruga, maalalahanin, masipag, matalino, mabait, istrikta, at higit sa lahat may takot sa Diyos. Di ka man perfekto na kahit ako man ay hindi rin, ngunit nais kong sabihin sa iyo na mahal kita. Maaga man ako nagasawa, at di pa ganung nakatulong sa pamilya ngunit kakayanin kong bumawi sa iyo. Nanay ipapangako ko sa iyo bibigyan ko kayo ni tatay ng sariling bahay at lupa. Pinapanalangin ko sa Diyos lagi na sa tuwina pagaanin ang inyong buhay. Nanay sorry sa lahat ng naging pagkakamali ko sa iyo, sa mga bagay na ipinagsuway ko, sorry po. Nanay, malaki ang naging kontribusyon mo po sa buhay ko. Salamat, salamat nanay."


i may not have a perfect dad and mom in the world, but I thank You God for You have made us to be perfectly fit with each other.

new task, new challenges

2 weeks to study webERP!

what? as my boss entered our conference room, i've noticed that he is smiling at me. wondering why? will it be a compliment? or a surprise? or a bonus? or an increase? or a "pack up your things" note? whaaaaaa..... he is smiling because he will just give me 2 weeks to study webERP. well boss is still boss, all i can do is to obey and follow. wla nang iba.... welll given the chance big responsibilities, more task more challenges more learning, well all i can say its part of my learning experience, it really depends on me how would i respond. if i respond positively, then things will turned out right if not then tsugi...hay hirap ng taas ng expectations ng boss, Lord I can't live with it, please help me. Help me to understand webERP how it works, what is the framework, how could I manipulate it? help me please help I know You will never leave me nor abandon me. I know You're real and true to Your promises. I just have to fully trust in You and motivate myself to do my work as if I am doing it for You. Thank you for my job - thank you for entrusting to me these overflowing blessings, but help me to become a good steward.

well it sound as a prayer to me but it's true. you know what when i really don't know what to do, all i can do is to run to God, pray, read and hear instructions from Him. wala na akong ibang matatakbuhan nang hindi ako iiwan si God lang yun. Even my closest friends they can just take off their shoulders to me but God I know and believe He can't, He won't and He will not. I know He is faithful......

now why not take a few moments today to thank God for your job? get into your prayer cabin and begin to thank Him for He has blessed you for such a time as this. He has put you here for such a time as this and learn to wait until His plan for you is revealed. God bless you.

long or short hair?

long or shot hair?

it's summer time, hay.... before I use to be in long hair for almost a year but when summer hits the city i just got fully decided to have it cut in a very very short hair cut. hehehhe feeling ko tuloy lalaki ako hehehehe.... well having a short hair during summer time is fun and worth a second look gosh, tsk, tsk.... having a short haircut has a real life story to me. i have a special friend before whom I had the chance to be with for more than 3 years. Actually we started as good friends but ended up as "enemies". Well if given the chance to talk to him once again, I would be willing to say "You're still my friend, no matter what they say, your relatives say and even the whole world will say, I still believe that we can still be good friends but not more than friends. " I wish I had that chance. If in case you see this blog, my friend, I know I've wronged you in a way but I want you to know that "I'm sorry, I've got no options during that time. I have to do it. I have to forget that there is one single day we've met, get closed, get to know each other...but ended up to nothing. For now, its enough for me to have one last day and chance to talk to you in a sweet relaxing coffee shop even if you'll be with your special someone it's okey just to clear myself out of this matter.

Well, well, well, this post is all about short or long hair. Well that friend of mine prefer me to have a long hair. I remember one day we pledge. "Pag nagpagupit ako ng sobrang ikli na ka-level ng tenga ko, it means I don't love you anymore. But as long as mahaba ang hair ko it means to say I really mean that love to you." Well, I just smiled wonder how could I endure the heat during summer time with a long hair. Mainit, grabe pero siyempre remember the pledge. hehehehhe, i know we're getting weird during those time, it may sound so silly but it soothes me when I hear him whispering to my ears "nothing gonna change my love for you". (sweet! isn't he?)

that's why when I entered the parlor last month I am still asking myself "a short or long haircut?" Well, I'll go for short haircut its simply because I can never turned back the time again. It's finally over. Now short or long haircut?
