SONA 2013

Ngayong araw na ito nakapanood ako ng SONA ng Pangulo Ninoy Aquino III.

Narito ang link ng kopya ng orhinal na transcript na nilahad sa Batasang Pambansa kaninang ika-2 ng hapon.
http://www.thesummitexpress.com/2013/07/president-benigno-aquino-pnoy-sona-2013-full-transcript-speech-tagalog-english-now-available.html

Habang pinapanood ko ang SONA, nasabi ko sa sariling tunay ngang may power ang pananalangin sa Panginoon. Tumutugon Siya sa lahat ng ating inilalapit sa Kanya. Dahil dito na-inspire ako na mas lalo pang paigtingin ang aking pagdalo sa Morning Intercessory sa WOH. Tunay ngang napapatunayan ang salita at pangako ng Diyos, "All things are possible to him who believes. Mark 9:23"

Pilipinas, mahal ka ng Panginoon at isa kang bayang pinagpala.

Isang hamon ang iniwan ng Pangulo Aquino III sa kanyang salaysay at dito ako ay tila bagang natauhan sa mga katagang, "Ako po si Noynoy Aquino; ipinagmamalaki ko sa buong mundo: Pilipino ako. At talagang napakasarap maging Pilipino sa panahong ito." Nawa'y patuloy nating ang bayang Pilipinas na sa ati'y ipinagkatiwala ng Panginoon.

God bless the Philippines.

Married Life Regrets

"Sana single pa rin ako. Sana namili ako ng talagang gusto ko. Sana di ako nagkamali at nabigla sa kasal ko"

Yes, honestly these passages keeps lingering on my mind today. I missed church today, though I know my week won't be complete but I traded to pacify my negative feelings.

I know that is bad not to go to church. I know I won't be recharged. I know I won't be victorious. I've felt that there is guilt inside of not attending the church service today. But I with my hard headed heart, I choose not to.

Makaka-church sana kami kanina kung di lang nagkaroon ng disagreement. He said no, we will not attend so I just said, "Ok, no church today." Lagi na lang daw ako every sunday nanunumbat. Ayoko kasi ng late sa church, ang katwiran ko minsan lang mag church tapos late pa. Nakakahiyang pumasok sa church na pawisan tapos makikipagsiksikan ka pa sa mga taong nagpupuri na sa Panginoon at andun na sila sa state ng concentration sa pagpupuri at pagpapasalamat sa mga pagpapala sa kanila ng Panginoon.

Ok, if its my fault that's it. Pero tinanong nya ba sa sarili niya, kung gusto ko talagang lumipat sa WOH at bukas ang loob ko sa paglipat. I missed my friends. I miss the ministry of teaching young kids about Bible stories. These are the things I just traded just to "be submissive to your husband." I'm tired. I cried, dahil hindi ko na magawa ang mga bagay na once in my life ay ginusto kong gawin.

I can say that my pillars of prayer and devotion was falling. I am not that a "private worshipper" anymore. I stop from growing. Wala akong ibang masabihan nito kungdi ang blog na ito.

Mga kapatid nya kampi sa kanya. Pagka nga magpapapicture kami sa rooftop lalo na't may okasyon pag nakita nilang niyakap ko si Felix agad silang tumatalikod. Hindi ko alam kung dahil ba sa nahihiya sila sa akin dahil walang trabaho ang kapatid  nila at ako ang kumakayod o dahil hanggang ngayon hindi pa nila tanggap na ako ang asawa ng kapatid nila. Kung ako lang ang tatanungin, gusto ko nang isauli ang kapatid nila.

Napapagod na ako. Naiinggit ako sa mga kakilala ko na silang mga ama ng tahanan ang nagtatrabaho para sa kanilang pamilya. Meron silang desisyon at lakas ng loob upang itaguyod ang kanilang pamilya. Ilang taon ko na ring panalangin sa Diyos na tugunin nya ang aking hiling ngunit hanggang ngayong ika-10 taon na namin, ganun pa rin wala paring kasagutan. Hindi ko alam kung bakit. Hindi ko alam kung ayaw lang talaga ng Lord or napagod na Siya kakabigay ng pagkakataon at ang aking kabiyak ang problema dahil sa sobrang mapili sa anumang uri ng pagkakakitaan.

Ngayon, hindi ko na kaya ibalik ang mga panahon nung ako ay 23 anyos. Hindi ko na kayang baligtarin ang lahat ng mga naging desisyon ko. Nawawalan na ako talaga ng pagasa. Nawawalan na ako ng tiwala sa Panginoon. As much as I don't want to give up my faith,  but it's really tempting.

I don't know Lord. I don't know if you really feel the way I'm feeling right now.

Ikaw na po ang humusga kung mali o tama ang pagalis ko sa sinalihan kong simbahan dati. Hindi ko alam kung tama pa ang ginagawa ko kung kaya't mabagal ang pasok ng pagpapala, minsan pa nga'y wala.

Ayokong sumuko kaya tulungan mo po ako, Panginoon. Please lang. Ikaw ang nagbigay sa akin ng aking napangasawa, kaya Ikaw rin ang magayos ng aming pagsasama. Hindi sapat na kaming dalawa ay parehas na nakakilala sa Iyo, hindi sapat na ako lang ang  kumakayod. Gusto ko nman maranasan na ako ang nagbubudget ng malaking kita niya. Gusto ko naman na Siya ang magdala ng aming buhay. Pagod na ako, kung pwede lang na maging single ulet, pipili na ako ng tama.

Sorry, Lord but this is exactly how I feel. I've felt na dinaya mo ako. I've felt na pinaniwala mo ako na siya nga ang para sa akin. Hindi ko na kaya pa. Kung di rin ito maaayos, gugustuhin ko na pong kuhanin mo ako.

Design Patter Tutorial 1

It has been two sprints now that I started to re-kindle the fire of enhancing my programming skills.

Kudos to my friend, Anton Van, who shared me this link: http://www.newthinktank.com/videos/design-patterns-tutorial/

What did I learned?
1. Strategy Pattern
- Define a family of algorithm, encapsulate each one and make them interchangeable. The Strategy Pattern lets the algorithm vary independently from clients that use it.
Fig 1.0 Family of Algorithm


















Fig 2.0 Algorithm vary independently

I promise to keep updating you with my good finds. So keep visiting my blog.
Cheers!

Another Answered Prayer

It was really amazing how God works in a man's life.

How he let you and I know that He really cares and He really mean it.
Whether or not it's something that is easy to believe in or grasp or stand into
specially when times seems so tough and things doesn't come the way we want or expected them too.

Last 38 minutes ago, I received a message that my niece-in-law, Carla, had passed the recent Nursing Board Exam. To my greatest excitement and joy, I got the snapshot of this website to capture her name, and look here it is:















My heart rejoices with this one of great endeavours she have accomplished. I know the real feeling because there's a lot of time that Carla felt so down and depressed, with just a few drops of hope that she will also be able to make it but I kept on telling her, "Nothing is impossible with God." and so it was. I even included her in my prayer list.

Truly, God makes everything beautiful in His time.

To God be the glory.

Does God Exist?

I stumbled upon this link over the Internet that discusses the existence of God.

http://www.everystudent.com/features/isthere.html?gclid=CNb-sYy_sLUCFUYhpQodfhYAPw
- this article is written by Marilyn Adamson, who was a former atheist, but have come to a compelling truth that God does exist.

http://www.everystudent.com/features/faith.html  - by Paul E. Little

We may all have our own opinions on all things. But for me I believe that God exist. I may not be eloquent enough to defend of what I believe in, but I will still believe that there is God.

50% Off at French Baker = Great Foodies!

Yeah, today I had the chance to line-up for the 50% off offer at French Baker here at Eastwood. It happens every night according to the cashier starting from 9pm. The queue could be long as early as 8:30pm but today I was lucky enough to be 5th on the line.

I was wondering what to buy because it's my first time. I was even calculating how much will it all worth at the back of my head while standing and waiting for the line to move. It was a bit feeling of excitement and somehow felt nervous hoping that I could still get the bread that I want. Preferably, I'd like to have the plain bread since I'd like to match it with my experimented spreads which were seating on the fridge few days ago.

But to my surprise and I thank God I've made it. I had the "Oven baked bread" (which were not able to be sliced since the baker said that "no slicing during 50% off" rule is being implemented), freshly baked raisins bread, butter croissants and vulvet. Everything costs me P148 box and I can say it's worth the money because of the big discounts I've had.

Thank you French Baker for this awesome treat. It's better to give it half the price than to be seen thrown or wasted. And now, I'll start tasting them but I'll keep some pieces for daddy's baon tomorrow.

Spending Time with the Lord

Today, I choose to be late at the office. I choose to stay a little longer at our house to spend time singing and worshiping Jesus. My heart is hurt again because I was laughed at when I am explaining my side to my team mates. I felt that I am not important, though it was their fault why I reacted so bad, but still they were not able to realized it.

Yesterday, I did not get any tasks from our sprint backlog. I let them realize how I've felt when they acted like they don't care if we can't burn stories for the day. So what I did I hold the grudge in my heart against them - the whole day. I don't talk a lot and mind them. I remained to be on a state of 'uncaring, unlovable, unforgiving'. But it wasn't good. It was me who is much greatly affected.

So, today I woke up late. I prepared myself for work neglecting to read my Bible and just uttered a little prayer for the sake of doing it regularly. But without my heart. Without my real desire to come to God and lay down my crowns, my failures, fears, struggles and even my grudges.

Good thing that Patrick is late. So I decided that we'll just take a cab going to the office. Though it will be expensive but I would rather spend time with God than to be miserable the whole day, again? After all, it was just money which God can provide.

This song that I played over the internet (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6_T29ZaxyE) carries the encouragement that I needed for such a time as this. I was reminded that God loves me, God takes care of me. He won't let me go for He hold my world in His hands. I love to know and be reminded once in a while how great, how vast is His love for you and me.

I sang the song a couple of times with my arms raising towards heaven. Uttered a prayer and shouted to God  the insides of my heart. I love this moment and I missed it for quite long time ago. Truly, there is healing and strength in the presence of God. I love to hear that God loves me and that God will never never never abandoned me and leave me. He won't turned His back from me; He's always there. He remained faithful.

"Lord, salamat sa sobra sobrang pagmamahal mo na kahit nagkaganito ako, nagkulang sa Iyo, nagkamali, nag malaki, nde naging mapagpatawad, nde nagpakita ng pagmamahal ngunit salamat dahil andun pa rin ang pagmamahal mo. As the song goes, 'I confess You are my righteousness...' yes I cannot change myself, only God can. Thank you for changing me and molding me on the way you want me to be. I cannot love, I cannot forgive with my own strength so help me God...I love You Lord."

Break the silence



We've been into silence for almost 4 days just because of simply petty issues that "can be" and "should be" overlooked. But just this morning, thank God we broke the silence with a sweet kiss.

That's Why I'm late today



Took a little bit of 5 minutes more on a short nap, and got into surprised that it's just 30 minutes before time to work. So I rush, but still didn't make it. I'm late of 19 minutes today.

Next time don't give in to 5 minutes more. :)
