A LETTER UNSPOKEN

Dear Mom,

When I must leave you for a little while,

Please do not cry

And shed with tears

And hug your sorrows

To you through the years,

But start out bravely

With a gallant smile;

And for God’s sake

And in His name

Live and do

All the things the same.

Feed not your loneliness

On empty days,

But feel each feeling alone

In useful ways.

Reach our your hand

In comfort and in cheer

And I in turn will comfort you

And hold you near;

And NEVER, NEVER, NEVER

Be afraid to trust me

To trust my perfect and noble decision;

For I am waiting for you

In the finish line!

Love,

Son.

(that letter blog is dedicated to my bestfriend “atemins.” A mom who dearly love her son who entered fulltime Christian vocation. Take care ate. Be inspired. God bless you.)

WE ARE A FAMILY

We are, we are
Not your ordinary fama-mily
But we can all agree that
We are, we are
Close as close can be

So it don't matter what it looks like
We look perfect to me
We got every kind of lover
We're so lucky indeed
They can keep on talking
It don't matter to me cause
We are, we are family

So what?
We don't look, we don't act
We don't walk, we don't talk
Like you do
So what?
If we hang just a hang and no shame
We both do what we want to

Cause we come from everywhere
Searching for ones to care
Somehow we found it here
We found us a home

Ok, so the links in our chains makes us strange
But really they make us stronger
And no one would replace not a thing
Mother or father
Cause we...

We are, we are family

THE TRUE MEANING OF LIFE

Noong elementary palang me, ang akala ko ang true meaning ng life is yung makatapos ng pag-aaral kaya pinilit kong makatuntong ng college…

#AralPaMore!!!

Nang highschool na me, ang akala ko ang true meaning ng life ay ang magkaroon ng maraming crush kaya lahat ng makita kong pogi ay crush ko…

#CrushPaMore!!!

Nang college na me, ang akala ko naman ang true meaning ng life is yung magkaroon ng bf kaya lahat ng nag-admire sakin ay sinagot ko…

#BfPaMore!!! :D

Kaya ng minsang makadalo ulit ako kay Tatay Apostol, niyakap ako ng Lord through His presence at sinabing, “Ako kaya ang tunay na kahulugan ng buhay. Kaya kahit ma-experience mo ang lahat ng inaakala mong meaning ng life ay di ka liligaya ng totoo kung di ako ang naging centre ng buhay  mo.”

Kaya ang sigaw na ng puso ko ngayon is…

#JesusChristPaMore!!! :)

I AM NOT ALONE

I AM NOT ALONE

Kari Jobe

1

When I walk through the deep waters

I know that You will be with me

When I’m standing in the fire

I will not be overcome

Through the valley of the shadow

I will not fear.

Chorus:

I am not alone

I am not alone

You will go before me

You will never leave me

2

In the midst of deep sorrow

I see Your light is breaking through

The dark of night will not overtake me

I am pressing into You

Lord, You fight my every battle

And I will not fear

You amaze me

Redeem me

You call me as Your own

You’re my strength

You’re my defender

You’re my refuge in the storm

Through these trials

You’ve always been faithful

You bring healing to my soul

LOVE YOU AND GOODBYE

In our life, the day comes along with the one

Like a thief, they will steal our heart

Overwhelmed feeling they will cast upon

Vivid mem’ries will raise from the start.

Every time when you’re together, gave you a thousand smiles

Yes! The feeling is mutual even in a hundred miles.

Out of nowhere feeling start to bloom,

Unto that somebody, rapid heartbeat zooms.

Precious, as you treasure every moment spent,

Right before your eyes, the world is what they meant.

And in a blink of an eye, everything collapse,

In life, the one who came will say goodbye in a snap.

Shot, deeply right unto your very heart

Everything shatters and falls apart

Abandoned and all alone, they are gone ahead

Nothing seems to matter now and you’re lying dead.

Drowning in sea’s of pain where you bathe fear,

Goodbye, the word kept resounding in your ear,

Over and over as the pain scatter through,

Over your body and arises the feeling so blue.

Days will pass and still the pain remain,

Best days with ‘em becomes the days of pain.

You will be left alone where you lie,

Entwined with questions the one can only answer… why?

LESSONS OF LIFE

I learned as the years rolled forward

And I leave the past behind,

How much I counted sorrow

But proved that God is kind.

That many flower I’d long for

Had hidden a thorn of pain,

And a many rugged path

Led to the fields of ripened grain.

The clouds that cover the sunshine,

They cannot banish the sun,

And the earth shines out brighter

When the weary rain is done.

We must stand in the deepest shadow

To see the clearest light,

And often through wrong’s own darkness

Comes the welcoming strength of light.

STOLEN LOVE

When I was sitting on a window

And staring at the sky

Suddenly, an image flashed within

And it was you smiling at me.

But then I recognized

Gee, it’s just my imaginative mind

For me to realize

That you did not exist in my life.

I have loved you so much

And I do love you more

While when you said you do

I know that it’s not true.

You made me feel important

But never showed that I am

So when you found her

You just left me here.

WHEN LIFE HURTS

We live in a chaotic world, a bizarre world – where hardship and tragedy abound.  Planes crash, incurable diseases kill, fires and floods destroy, and your loved ones leave.  Life hurts, sometimes very deeply.  In the real world suffering is inevitable.  Everybody goes through it at one point or another in their lives.  We may get hit by a single blow, like losing a family member.  Or we may have to carry a day-to-day burden, like enduring a chronic illness or living with someone who is abusive or chemically dependent.  Often, something less dramatic than a death of a loved one or loss of a home may shake our faith – Parents separating, a special relationship ends, friends move away, pressures at school intensify.  While some of these may not be earth – shattering events, they do create pain, stress and suffering.  They challenge our faith.  They make life hurt.  The simple fact is, mild or tragic, hardships and suffering exist.  But so does God.  Whether we are dealing with a serious illness or a failing grade, He is present in the midst of our pain.  That is why; we must be encouraged to rejoice in suffering (hard as it is), to remain hopeful in the midst of trials and to find faith in the face of tragedy.  The key to enduring rough times is in hoping and coping – hoping things will get better, and learning to cope even if they don’t.

        Enduring rough times is never easy.  The first step to take is to make God your main source.  When life really hurts, your relationship with God can mean more than ever.  Only God can help you from the inside out.  You should also admit that you are suffering and that you don’t like it.  Some people are so determined to keep it all bottled up inside so scared of pain that they ignore the burden they’re carrying.  Find someone you can talk to, somebody with some experience, someone who’s been there before. Having someone to lean on can give you a lot of hope.  And finally be thankful. At the risk of sounding like ones of those superficial “look on the bright side” types, I’m just suggesting that your life is not that bad at all, even if you’re suffering.

You want to talk about suffering? In the Bible, a man named Job really suffered big time.  He lost everything, family, property and his health.  The only thing he did not lose was his belief that God is good.  But that was enough to carry him through.  At the very least, we have God’s loving nature to depend on.  And most of us have a whole lot more than that.  We thank God for the measure of health we have, for freedom, for people who love us and for the sun rising up in the morning.  The point is an attitude of thankfulness for the good things put some perspective on the bad things.  Circumstances change but God does not.  The goal in suffering is to get through it.  At the end of the journey can be a new – found endurance.  With these, though life hurts sometimes, you will make it through the storm.

SOMEBODY

Becoming someone is not that easy

On the part of a person like me.

New plans are made out of nothing,

Nobody understands my decision for leaving.

And I must be ready to take a new journey.

Road seems so long, and there it waits for me.

Development, change, growth and maturity,

Lots of reasons why I should do this.

I know God’s with me wherever I am,

Making me somebody in my own way.

AANHIN PA

Aanhin pa ang mga kamay

Na di marunong magbukas-palad?

Aanhin pa ang mga labing

Masamang salita ang namumutawi?

Aanhin pa ang mga matang

Walang ginawa kundi manghusga?

Aanhin pa ang mga taingang

Walang panahong makinig sa iba?

Aanhin pa ang mga kaibigan

Kung di rin lang mapagkakatiwalaan?

Aanhin pa ang mga kapatid

Kung di marunong magkapit-bisig?

Aanhin pa ang mga magulang

Kung hindi mo magawang igalang?

Aanhin pa ang puso

Kung hindi marunong magmahal?

Aanhin mo pa ang iyong buhay

Kung hindi mo binibigyang saysay?

Aanhin pa ang kalikasan

Kung iyong pababayaan?

Aanhin pa ang mundo

Kung ang naninirahan ay mga iresponsableng tao?

MOODS OF A WOMAN

Angel of truth and a dream of fiction,

A woman is a bundle of contradiction,

She’s afraid of a wasp, will scream at a mouse,

But will tackle a stranger alone in the house.

Sour as vinegar, sweet as rose,

She’ll kiss you one minute, then turn up her nose,

She’ll win you in rage, enchant you in silk,

She’ll be stronger than brandy, milder than milk,

At times she’ll be vengeful, merry and sad,

She‘ll hate you like poison, and love you like mad.
