A YEAR AND ALMOST 7 MONTHS AFTER Posted at 03:40 AM even if i try to embrace you as tight as i can, i know you will still have to go, and as we slowly move away from each other, with only our hands connecting us i feel like i'm already losing you because after the embrace it's only your hands that i hold on to and then one hand and then one finger and then only your smile and then your gone "Borrowed" this from Kuya Tedi (bur), who always seems to hit the literary nail on the head. Due to the recent LCDC 2k4, I've been reminiscing about KC 2k3,thinking a lot about friendships formed there. I am not sentimental ... that is, until I came back from Cebu. Where I learned the beauty of silence, the universality of music and power of tears. Where I was blessed to meet people to whom I could have written said the words above. Sabi nga ni Ate Riz, naunahan lang ako. Sa sobrang kasentihan ko, mahigit isang taon na ang nakalipas ay di pa rin ako masyadong naka-move on. Hindi ko ininda ang mensaheng "Be in the present" na pinukpok sa ulo namin nung huling linggo ng camp. Nagprotesta agad ako ng nagdasal si Dane na sana ay makalimutan na namin ang KC. Mas close pa ako sa mga nakasama ko lang ng iisang buwan kaysa mga 4 na taon ko nang kasama sa dorm at paaralan. Di ko iyan pinagsisisihan. Di ko kinahihiya ang nagyaring epidemiya ng KC fever sa buhay ko. Panahon na sigurong malaman ko at ng mundo na tao rin pala ako, may damdamin, marunong at may karapatang umiyak. May kakayahang maging mapagbigay at magpakita ng pagmamahal sa iba. Natutunan kong pahalagahan ang mga tao, di lamang para sa pwede nilang gawing pabor para sa akin, kundi dahil nandyan sila- kasamang magsamba at maglingkod. At dahil sa tinanggap nila ako nung mga panahong di ko kayang tanggapin ang sarili ko. Lagi akong nagpapasalamat sa Diyos dahil dumating sila sa buhay ko. KC MATES: I love you with the love of the Lord. |

HOMECOMING Posted at 08:07 PM I’m back where I belong In the craziness of civilization The constant din of Taft Avenue in my ears Where smog seizes me by the throat Yet sweet freedom comes with every breath… Free from expectations and molds And other people’s dreams That constricted me Free to choose the right And face the consequences Free to dabble in impracticalities And express un-worldly convictions; Unwieldy yet beloved Which all too soon, may not stand The coming of the turning point Here doubts and worries seem bearable; The stars and silence and faces and tears Are but memories, carefully treasured Kept at bay, yet always there Not hurting as much as before Once more I’m in the company of People who share Not blood but passions: For knowledge, for music, for the stage, And above all, for Him. I have returned Hopefully, sadly, determinedly For the last time Back home where I found myself And where I was found. Dragonlance Mary did you know? |

RAINBOWS Posted at 02:34 PM Rainbows never to fail make me smile…not just because they are so beautiful, but because of all the things they symbolize. A promise. And hope. Had lots of them this past week… …created one early Monday morning, with tears for rain and friendship for sunlight …witnessed one during my two-day enrolment, the hope of graduation …was with one this weekend, the multi-hued people of Batingaw …and, glimpsed a real rainbow during a semstarter planning of SVCF UPM I’d like to think it was God smiling down at us. At me. script ng moses, moses payapang daigidg |

MY ENCLOSED GARDEN Posted at 06:04 PM Before springtime I lock my garden while I water the plants, I seal the fountain and enclose the spring to expose them when I hear your voice calling me. I love you though I do not yet know you and have never glanced at your face All I know is that God will give me to you and you to me. For that I will lock my garden, seal the fountain, and enclose the spring while I water the plants, for the flowers are not yet in bloom…(S.G.) News magazines Chritsmas Cantata |

WORTH THE PRICE Posted at 06:33 PM What if no one but you had fallen What if no one but you had been lost Do you think that Jesus would have come to earth And be willing to die on a cross? There is no number His love is limited to If you'd been the only one He still would have died for you You were worth the price Worth the pain Worth the sacrifice He made To bring you back to Him again You were worth the price Worth His life Worth the price He paid There are millions each day who are dying Without knowing that they were the one The reason that God made an all-perfect plan That would mean the life of His Son Imagine the difference JUts think how lives would change If we told them the truth If we would only say... ... you were worth the price He paid. *Lord, thank you for this unexpected remembrance of a mountaintop experience. Thank you for the constant reminders of your undeserved love for me. May this be more than a song; may I indeed tell others of this wonderful assurance we have in you. And Lord, please keep the friend who who shared this song with me in the palm of your hand. Amen* |

Thanks Zai! Posted at 08:28 PM Fun loving, childish, innocent and pure You are a sprite of the Air: Fun loving and childish your naive nature only enhances how truly cute you are! You may come off as too childish but only because your not burdened with all the rules and regulations of adulthood. You are carefree most of the time spending your days playing tag or naming all the clouds you see in the sky. You are generally kind to everyone because you have lots of love and happiness to share! Making friends comes easy because they strive for the innocence you possess but be careful, being as nice and kind hearted as you are people will try to manipulate your nature if they have not already. Don't ever let anyone mold you to their standards although I doubt anyone could. .::=What type of mythical Sprite are you?=::. -With Anime Pictures and detailed answers- brought to you by Quizilla |

THE BENEFITS OF BEING A SCATTER-BRAIN Posted at 07:10 PM Not again. I groaned inwardly as I dug through my pockets and bag yesterday in search of an errant coin purse. I just hate that awful, sinking feeling you get when you lose/misplace/forget things. Unfortunately, I find myself in this most uncomfortable situation almost weekly. I have lost countless possessions (my own and sadly, other peoples’) in that mysterious Bermuda triangle between my firm grasp and the nearest available surface. I put objects down and then promptly fail to register their location in my long-term memory. Cellular phones, wallets, keys, books, papers, a camera, clothes, shoes, etc, etc… in the quest for these lost items, I have spent countless hours retracing my steps, unearthing piles of junk, and generally berating myself for stupidity/senility. If I were to become rich, one of the first things I’d do would be to attach beeping things to my stuff. Then, when they do get lost, all I’d have to do is press a remote control to make them emit a shrill “Find me! I’m here! Find me! I’m here!” As I was walking home from a successful recovery trip (I had just gratefully claimed my missing coin purse from Tokyo Tokyo-Rob, 4 hours after I dropped it there), it suddenly occurred to me that, hey, being a scatter-brain ain’t all that bad. There are some benefits to it. For example, I get lots of exercise. Walking three blocks and going up and down four flights of stairs must burn a lot of calories. Our dormitory room gets a much-needed general cleaning whenever I search for my keys: I sweep, I organize, I attack the no-man’s land underneath our beds, etc. Looking for missing objects builds up my self-confidence, PR and public speaking skills, since I get to interact with a variety of people, mostly strangers, quite frequently. I have realized that there is no general rule for people with regards to honesty; it’s a 50/50 proposition of getting back missing items in Manila, higher if you are in the boondocks (hehe). I just choose to believe in the best in people (while keeping a tight grip on my bag and a wary eye out for snatchers and hold-up men.) I have learned not to place too much importance on material possessions (since they’ll get lost sooner or later), and instead become more attached to people (then again, this too has its share of head/heartaches…) My prayer life is definitely active, since the Lord often hears and answers my pleas of “Waah….! Where is it…?” If nothing else, I have undeniable proof of my paternity: I only lose inanimate objects, while my father had lost my youngest brother in shopping malls twice. Genes. “Seek and you shall find.” Very reassuring. Now, if I could just remember where that verse came from exactly… |
