Relive the Passion

2009-04-01T13:51:00.000+08:00

So far in my lenten journey, I have realized this....

Jesus is my Best Friend. :D (and yours too.)

Luha ng Herusalem

Maria Salome: Kami sa Iyo ngayo'y nagluluksa, tumatangis, nalulumbay lumuluha. Mga hikbi ay hindi na mapigilan, habang minamasdan kitang krus ay pasan-pasan.

Maria Cleophas: Sinabi ni Hesus, "Jerusalem, huwag sa akin mabahala o maawa, tingnan ninyo ang sariling katauhan at ang buong sambayanan ang dapat iyakan..."

Maria Magdalena: Poong Dakila, walang kasalanan, hindi nararapat parusahan ng ganyan, paanong paraan kita matutulungan, pawiin ang hapdi at sakit sa iyong hantungan.

tatlong Maria: Winika ni Hesus, "Jerusalem, ang iyong lungkot at hinagpis ay angkinin. Bawat patak ng luha ay nararapat ibuhos sa sarili at iyong mga anak..."

Poong Dakila, walang kasalanan, hindi nararapat parusahan ng ganyan, paanong paraan kita matutulungan, pawiin ang hapdi at sakit sa iyong hantungan.

Oooo.. Dama ko ang hirap mo hesus, patawarin mo kami patawarin mo kami!

Poong Dakila, walang kasalanan, hindi nararapat parusahan ng ganyan, paanong paraan kita matutulungan, pawiin ang hapdi at sakit sa iyong hantungan.

Join us in reliving the story of Jesus' Passion this Holy Week. Come and see the passion musical "Pako at Nota: Ang krus ng Golgota" originally created by teatro Ebanghelyo of the Good Shepherd Cathedral and will be performed by the Teatro Para kay Kristo on these following playdates:

Tuesday, April 7. 7:00 pm. Our lady of Assumption Chapel, Luzviminda, Batasan Hills Quezon City.

Good Friday: 6:00- 10:00 am. Along Commonwealth Avenue (from Tandang Sora to St.Peter Parish). The musical here is transformed to fourteen stations of the cross.

SM Fairview: April 6 (tentative)

19th realization. :D

2009-03-06T17:49:00.000+08:00

A life not lived for God is not worth living.

The Day I turned 19...

2009-03-06T11:32:00.000+08:00

is the day people didn't believe me. :D

Mukha daw akong 20 sabi ng classmates ko sa Chem.

Mukha naman daw akong freshie sabi ng isang classmate ko sa Philo na Freshie. Masyado daw akong inosente tingan, shy type at di makabasag pinggan.

Hehehe. Siyempre lahat kaya ng mga nagtetake ng Philo ngayon ay mga matatapat na taO!!!! :D

Bwahahaha.

Anyway, I turned 19 yesterday. And I was extremely happy! I woke up with a strip of paper scoth-taped on my chest saying, "happy 19th Birthday Kuya Adam! Panda Boy! from paoPupot" It was from my younger brother, Paolo. That was the most unique birthday greeting I ever received!

The bulk of my birthday was purely academic. No Birthday of mine could stop the profs from discussing lessons. Wah! Should I mention the Particle in a Ring in Quantum mechanics? My Gahllyy.

I attended the 6 pm mass at the UP Chapel. There I prayed for those who made my birthday special. Bwahaha, my funny Classmates, my family, my friends at church and my bestfriend. After mass, Gerald texted me that he wanted to come with me to my house for my birthday... Talk about short notice! Bwahahaha. But I was extremely happy that I was able to see him!!

Wow. my brithday wish is simple, and that is to grow up to be the man God wants me to be. :D. I want to know him more, love him more and serve Him more.... (naks, Youth Alive ito). :D

Mabuhay!

before the Love MOnth ends. :D

2009-02-28T17:52:00.000+08:00

The most tunay love ever...

Kaninang umaga, habang tinutulungan ko si Kuya Jason sa Powerpoint niya about HEart of Worship, nakita ko tong pic na to...

At sobrang natouch ako at nagandahan dun sa pagkakaagawa nung painting. Ang realistic nung mga titig ni Jesus dito. Sobrang loving.

Tapos nung mismong talk niya na this afternoon, at napunta dun sa slide kung saan nakapaste tong pic na to, napatitig ako ng tunay. Sa unang tingin, mukhang itinatampok ni Hesus yung heart niya. Parang pinapakilala niya na, "Andito ang Puso ko, para sa'Yo." Idagdag mo pa yung malambing niyang tingin sa'Yo.

Tapos, mga after 3 minutes ng pagtitig. Napansin kong nakadikit naman sa Dibdib niya yung puso niya. At yung kamay ay waring nakaextend. Naka-helping hand ba.

Hay... Sobrang ganda talaga.

"Lumapit ka lamang at puso ko'y hagkan, pagibig Ko'y walang hanggan."

HinawingTabing Hawak kamay

2009-02-28T17:44:00.000+08:00

Since legendary na ang hawak Kamay sa batch natin (Remember nung fweek?)

May nakita akong four-voice piece ng Hawak Kamay. :) Inedit ko siya para hindi masyadong mahirap. :D

Alto ang bida. :D Mabab ayung kanta eh. Yakang yaka natin yun!!!

Go 08B!!!!

Make Public Vehicles Manyak-Free!

2009-02-25T12:23:00.000+08:00

Sumosobra na talaga yang mga taong yan. Hindi maganda. Napakabastos at napakaimoral. Sa mga kaibigan ko pa gagawin! Lumalaganap na talaga ang mga manyak ngayon sa mga pampublikong sasakyan. Nakakagalit!

Noong sabado, isa sa mga kaibigan ko ang minanyakan ng isang lalaki sa FX. Ayoko nang idescribe kung ano ang ginawa sa kanya pero nakakasama ng loob talaga. Nasa gitna pa naman sila nung FX kung saan siksikan.

Nung isang beses naman, isa pa sa mga kaibigan ko ang tinitigan ng manyak na lalaki sa Jeep na silang dalawa langa ng lulan. Sinusundan siya at hindi inaalisan ng titig.

At kahapon, isa pang kaibigan ko ang harap-harapang binastos sa bus. Pinakita sa kanyang nilalamas ang maselang bahagi ng katawan niya habang nakatayo sa isang hindi naman talaga siksikang bus.

Ano ba namang klaseng mga tao kayo? Talaga bang wala na kayong ititirang moral at kahihiyan sa inyo? Bakit lagi kayong nambabastos? At higit sa lahat, babae pa ang binabastos niyo? Ang kakapal niyo. Hindi talaga maganda. nakakainis. Nakakagalit. Huwag lang talaga akong makakita ng nanggaganito, ipapahiya ko talaga kayo. Sana nandun ako ng ginawa yun sa mga kaibigan ko para natulungan ko sila. Grabe kayO!!!

Sa mga kababaihan naman, huwag sana kayong magtahitahimik kapag binabastos kayo ng ganyan. Matuto kayong lumaban para nadadala ang mga manyak na yan. Ipakita ninyo na hindi kayo dapat binabastos. Ipahiya ninyo sa abot ng inyong makakaya, o kung maaari ay ipahuli niyo. Ipacorner niyo sa konduktor. Tyak naman na maraming tutulong sa inyo. Huwag kayong matatakot!

Pananatili. :D

2009-02-24T18:41:00.000+08:00

Para kay Binibining E. :D AyLabYoo!

Pananatili

Huwag mong naising lisanin kita
Wala akong hangaring ika'y magisa
Saanman magtungo, ako'y sasabay
magkabalikat sa paglalakbay

Mananahan sa tahanan, sisilong sa 'Yo
yayakapin ang landasin at bayan mo

Poon mo ay aking ipagbubunyi
At iibigin ng buong sarili
Sanman abutin ng paghahanap,
Ikaw at ako'y magkasamang ganap!

Ipahintulot nawa ng panginoon,
Ni kamataya'y maglalaho, anino ng kahapon
Dahil pagibig ang alay sa iyo, mananatili ako,
huwag nang naising tayo'y mawalay,
huwag nang isiping magwawakas ang paglalakabay!

Huwag mong naising lisanin kita..

Bakit Purple si Barney?

2009-02-18T17:04:00.000+08:00

Bakit Purple si Barney? (tanong sakin ni Lea)

Heto ang mga sagot ko, baka may idadagdag kayo? :D

1) Dahil siya ang nawawalang kapatid ni Grimace
2) Dahil mahilig siyang bumili ng bumili ulit. Buy ulet. Violet! :)
3) Dahil nahulog siya sa nilulutong halayang ube noong siya ay baby pa lamang
4) Pula dapat talaga siya, pero color blind yung kaunaunahang nagkulay sa kanya.
5) Nalaman ng tatay niya na isa siyang bading kaya binugbog siya ng sobra sobra.

All that I am!!

2009-02-18T02:44:00.000+08:00

May isang kanta na naman ang nagpapasaya sakin ngayon kapag kinakanta ko siya. :) Special thanks to the following sa pagbibigay ng meaning sa akin ng kantang ito: Kuya Jason, Ate MAlou, Gienieve, Joseph, Sr Bubbles, and Fr.Jboy.

Magnificat

All that I am sings of the God who brings new life to birth in me
My spirit soars on the wings of my Lord.

My soul gives glory to the Lord rejoicing in my saving God
Who looks upon me in my state and all the world will call me blessed
For God works marvel in my sight and Holy, Holy is God's name

God's mercy is from age to age on those who follow in fear
Whose arm is power and strength and scatters all the proud of heart
Who casts the mighty from their thrones and raises up the lowly ones

God fills the starving with good things the rich are left with empty hands
Protecting all the faithful ones remembering Israel with mercy
The promise known to those before and to their children forever, (i love this line!!!!)

Try ko iupload ang music soon!!! :D

Huwag Limutin

2009-02-16T16:05:00.000+08:00

Para sa apat na "G" ng buhay ko. :)

Huwag limutin nakaraang araw
Sariwain kahit balik tanaw
Takip-silim di man mapigilan,
Sandali lang ang dilim.

Yong bilangin ang bawat sandaling,
Kagalaka'y wari walang patid
Magksama tayo sa pagsapit
Ng 'sang langit sa daigdig

Minamahal kitang tunay,
ang tinig ko sa yo'y bubuhay,
Sambitin mo ang aking himig
At ako sa iyo'y aawit.

Alaala ng pagkakaibigan,
sa puso itago't ingatan
Sa pagsilay ng bukas tingnan
Alaala't puso'y iisa

Minamahal kitang tunay,
ang tinig ko sa yo'y bubuhay,
Sambitin mo ang aking himig
At ako sa iyo'y aawit.

Normal Saturday Affair.

2009-02-14T20:03:00.000+08:00

Nung Wednesday pala ay pinaguusapan ako ng mga butihin kong kaibigan, kanina ko lang nalaman. Pero hindi ko alam kung anong pinagusapan nila tungkol sakin.

Ayun, nagpraktis uli kami ng kakantahin kanina para bukas: Awit ng paghilom. kaso wala si otep, kaya hindi kompleto ang JOA trio, kaya inedit edit nina kuya Jason. Sigh. Da best pa din yung original Male Trio. Though wala naman kong kontra kanina dahil gutom na gutom talaga ako habang nagpapraktis. Pati nga yung maliit na pastillas para sa mga bata kong kasama ay hinoard ko na. hahaha. PeeGee.

Earlier today dina pala, napadpad ako sa tandanG Sora par alang makakuha ng kopya ng ChemSoc Consti kay Janna. hahaha. Fuin din yung experience na yon. may cramps si janna kaya hindi makalakad ng maayos pero go padin siyang samahan ako magpaxerox. Wait lang ha, iyak lang ako. :)

At Earlier pa sa pangyyaring yan, sinamahan ko si Ate Jobelle sa Dentista. Dinaanan muna namin si hyvy sa bahay nila na nadatnan naming nagpapatugtog ng Himig heswita. "Huwag Limutin" pa yung kanta. hahaha. Emo? Kumain kami ng Hotcake, ponkan, at kung ano ano pa. :)

At the end of the day, masaya ako. labis labis ang pasasalamat ko sa Diyos. happY valentines!

Friday, Feb 13.

2009-02-13T18:19:00.000+08:00

Nagkasabay kami ni Hyvy kanina papunta sa St.Ben. Ang dami talagang kwento ng kaibigan kong yon. masayang masaya siya dahil nagsisimula na siyang magtindatinda para makatulong sa pamilya, at happy din naman ako para sa kanya! :) Ang liwanag ng mukha niya kanina, ibang iba sa Hyvy na natandaan ko a couple of days ago.

Iba talaga nagagawa ng tulog. :) Hahaha.

Nakwento niya na yata buong buhay niya magmula nung huli kaming nagkausap ng ganun. lahat ng mga experiences niya, magmula pagmulat ng mata hanggang pamamalengke may kwento siya!

nakwento ko rin sa kanya yung mga naganap sa buhay ko lately, lalo yung pagpunta ko sa ateneo at ang mga masayang nangyari at naranasan ko dun last wednesday. Mga 20 minutes lang kami naglalakad, pero andami na namin napagkwentuhan.

At sa 20 minutes na yon, may isa akong natutunan sa kanya. Sinabi niya kasi sakin yung dahilan bakit siya masaya. nagulat nga ako sa kasimplehan ng dahilan. nakakamangha din yung simplicity ng pagkakasabi niya ng dahilan na yon.

"Wala lang, natutunan ko ngayon na tanggapin ang mga nangyayari sa buhay ko. Basta dahil dun, ang saya saya saya saya ko talaga. Though alam ko s ahinahaharap hindi naman forever na masaya ang mga mangyayari, pero yun nga, I choose to be happy talaga. basta happY!!!"

Wow, the ability to accpet things as they come... amazing. hindi ko alam kung natutunan ko na siya dati at nakalimutan ko lang at hindi ko inaapply, or hindi ko pa talaga natututunan. maaaring narinig ko na at naituro na ngunit hindi ko pinut into action. hahaha. Hindi ko alam kung challenging ba ito or hindi. Mukhang Oo.

Pero kahit mahirapan ako along the way.. go lang ng go! After all, accept everythign di ba.. and choose to be happY!

Ang Litratong Hinugot sa Aking Tadyang

2009-02-13T10:09:00.000+08:00

Heto na, ipopost ko na ang litratong pinakapinagusapan, pinakanagdulot ng kontrobersiya, at pinakagumambala sa lahat kong kaibigan sa simbahan. Nagdulot ito ng pagpapatiwakal, pagkabaliw at pagkahumaling sa marami. Halos naging dahilan din ito ng WORLD WAR III ngunit napigilan.

Something to Smile About. (SiranG Camera and All)

2009-01-30T08:52:00.000+08:00

Something's worng with my camera. okay naman kapag nagvivideo, pero kapag nagpipicture, puro puti lang. Ewan ko kung may naconfigure akong kung ano. Di bale, tanong ko nalang kay Kuya JAson. :D

This morning, tinulungan ko si kuya magcheck ng papers ng Physics exam ng mga tinuturuan niya sa UP Manila. Gosh. nawiwindang ako sa mga scores nila. Ganon pala ang feeling ng prof kapag mababa ang papers na mga chinechekan nila. ganon pala feeling nila nung chinechekan nila papers ko nung nag Phys-72 akO!!! :)

Ayun, hindi ko napansin na magaalas otso na pala. May Chem 123 pa ako ng 8:30! tapos yun nga, napansin ko na may sira yung camera ko, so medyo depressed ako this morning. World Youth Day sa Australia ko pa binili yun, at andaming sentimental memories na nakakabit sa camerang yun kung masisira lanG!!!

tapso nung papunta na ako sa Philcoa, nacomfort naman agad ako ni Lord. Hahaha. Napakinggan ko kasi sa mp4 player ko yung Far Greater Love ng Bukas palad. Ang cute cute ng beat ng kantang yun. At tagos sa puso yung message. medyo mataas nga lang. :) Well, hindi ko mapopost yung music dahil walang time, pero mapopost ko naman yung lyrics!

Hahaha. magmula ngayon dapat kinakanta ko lagi. kasi.. festival Week na.. kailangan ko ng pampalakas loob. :D

Excited ako for Wednesday na kinakabahan. may imemeet kasi akong sobrang importanteng tao sa Ateneo at 3 pm. tapos dederetso sa ChemSoc tambayan bago mag 6 para sa Mythical Creatures Day ng Apps. :) DeaR!!!

Gusto ko na grumaduate at sumama kina father!! Hehehe. Haaayy.. Mahirap talaga magsabi ng tapos.

Oh well, ito na ang kanta...

Far Greater Love

Who would have known this would be a history so torn with wars?
The sky seems grayer in our hearts.
It's grayer in our hearts.

I could have sworn it would end in misery,
but the world is turning still,
and we're also learning, somewhere
hidden out there, something's greater than our hearts

REFRAIN:
The storms of life may shake our ground,
a greater peace still dwells in our hearts.
The dreams we build may fall apart,
A deeper hope still runs in our hearts.
Fear no harm, we are ruled by a far greater love,
a far greater love

Who would have known life would be such a mystery?
For the world is yearning still and our hearts keep burning.
We dare to believe there's something greater than our hearts (REFRAIN)

CODA:
We're never alone.
All else may go wrong,
still will there be a love far greater than our hearts

kanta pala ito ng isang itinuturing kong santo. Si Richie Fernando, S.J. na namatay habang inililigtas ang estudyante niya sa isang grenade blast sa Cambodia. You can read about him here: http://www.companymagazine.org/v154/onefaith.html

Miss ko na Sila. :D

2009-01-29T14:03:00.000+08:00

WAAAAAAHHHHHH........

Miss ko na si Kim, Dom, Anna, Miguel at Janel. La Lang... Sharing. :) Happy Birthday Miguel!!! :D

For the First Time in my Entire UP Life.

2009-01-26T09:47:00.000+08:00

I just don't know when luck would hit the spot. Whatever happened today, I firmly believe it's a great blessing!!!!

I was sitting with my Chem 123.1 clasmates outside our exam room trying to do some last minute review. Everyone was asking questions to no particular person and someone would just answer to help. At some point I felt the overload of information is just so unbearable that I had heaved out of desperation and worry: "I wish the exam would be postponed."

Kristine, my ChemSoc buddy agreed with me, though there was a hint on her face saying that it's just too impossible to happen.

But miracles DO happen.Not long after, Jaynel, one of our classmates, came holding a printed announcement from Dr. Solis: EXAM POSTPONED.

Just when I thought I only have powers over the rain! XD.

Bagong Gising.

2009-01-24T14:22:00.000+08:00

Sabi nga nila, mas mabuti nang walang tulog, kaysa walang gising.

May ikukwento ako, nakita ko raw yung dalawa kong high school bestfriends sa UP lagoon. Naglalaro silang dalawa, tapos gusto kong sumali, pero hindi niala ko nakikita. :) Si Cleo nakasuot ng high school uniform, ganoon din si Gerald. Maya-maya, dumating si Anna L na high school na high school din ang suot. Nagbalik ba ako sa nakaraan?

*POOF!*

May nagbukas ng pinto ng PH 1100. Malamig. Ano tong nasa armchair ko?

Nageexam pala ako sa PhyChem II.

Tama nga sila, mas mabuti pang may gising. Ano nalang mangyayari sa exam ko kung ginigising na ako ng prof ko at sabihing, "Pass your blue book!!!!!"

The One Sin

2009-01-23T10:51:00.000+08:00

There is only ONE kind of Sin, and that's STEALING. (TKR)

When you kill, you steal someone's right to live. When you lie, you steal someone's right for the truth. When you choose not to forgive, you steal someone's right for love and forgiveness and you steal your right for a peaceful heart. When you choose to be indulged in self abusive acts, you steal your own right for self respect. When you choose to sin, you steal God's right for your love, and your own right to be God's own child. The list could go on and on.

I first heard this claim from Amir's father in The Kite Runner, and I reckon he's right. :D

Have a nice day!

Tintin!!! :D

2009-01-19T13:22:00.001+08:00

BuddY!!! Pwede nang ganito ang hitsura ko di ba?

Tintin!!! :D

2009-01-19T13:22:00.000+08:00

BuddY!!! Pwede nang ganito ang hitsura ko di ba?

Bingi

2009-01-18T07:15:00.000+08:00

Pumasok ang bunso namin sa banyo, yinanong ko siya:

Adam: paolo nakita mo ba yung Cd ko?

Paolo: Ano?

Adam: yung CD ko.

Paolo: Ano?

Adam: Sabi ko bingi ka ba.

Paolo: Ano?

Lumabas ng banyo si Paolo, samantalang tinatanong ko si mama

Adam: ma bakit ganun si paolo? Ang bingi.

Mama: Asus, ganyan ka rin naman eh.

Adam: Po?

At biglang humalakhak si Paolo.

[magpaSIYENSIYAhan na sana]

2009-01-15T07:46:00.000+08:00

hind na talaga maganda yungmga nangyayari sa Quesci. Nabalita pa sa TV.

Unang una, hindi ko nagustuhan na makita ang mga mukha ng QueSci teachers ko sa TV for a bad reason. Mabuti sana kung nabalita ang QueSci dahil nanalo na naman sa INTEL or something. Pero yung ganung isyu, grabe, NAKAKAHIYA.

Ikalawa, first time ko makarinig ng suspension sa QueSci. Lahat ng tao dun yata ay nagiisip bata na: Students and Elders alike.

Matagal ko nang narinig tong balitang ito, and I really really got the point: Hindi masaya ang Scientians sa pamamalakad ng Kung sino mang sino sa QueSci. In my opinion, kung nakinig na sana ang Principal sa hinaing na ito at nakipagusap ng maayos sa mg estudyante about this, aabot ba sa ganitO?

Hindi talaga masaya na mawala ng foundation day, isara ang gate ng 7am, no activities beyond 5pm, mangaway ng mga honorable teachers and all, at kung ako ang estudyante, aalma talaga ako ng sobra. And since time immemorial, umaalma at nagrereklamo na ang mga estudyante. Sinong bingi?

At sa pagpapahayag naman freely, kids, merong limitations din yan. Okay lang magpahayag ng pagkadismaya at pagtuligsa sa maling pamamalakad, at protektahan ang dangal niyo bilang mga matatalinong bata, pero, being such does not negate decency and being respectful. Palaging may magandang paraan para mapagusapan at MAIPAHAYAG ang mga bagay bagay.

Kasi diba, pare-pareho na kayong nagbabastusan?

Para sa akin lang, kung pare-pareho kayong magpapamatigasan, wala talaga kayong maaayos niyan.

Expressions

2009-01-11T09:10:00.000+08:00

Sometimes, I feel that there are some people who forbid me to get hurt and to express my feelings. Plenty of times I had been in situations wherein i felt it was better if I hadn't said anything regarding what i feel. Always, I'd rather keep things for myself in hope one morning I will wake up and everything is alright.

I trust the persons I love, but I don't know how to exatly react once I see that my trust is being taken for granted. I want to trust my loved ones without asking for them to trust me back, but is that right?

And those who tell me they love me but ends up with just telling me. Are actions really louder than words?

Even now, i regret saying these things, because I don't want to think in the end that it was better if I hadn't expressed my feelings.

Cute Blogger Award

2008-12-29T07:12:00.000+08:00

Here are the rules of this award:

1. Each blogger must post these rules.
2. Each blogger starts with ten random facts/habits about themselves.
3. Blogger that are tagged, need to write ten facts about themselves. You need to choose ten people to tag and list their names.

Here are the 10 Random Facts/ Habits About Me:

I am color blind. :D I started to notice it when my classmates in second year high school couldn't see the colors I could. Those are the times when i refer to a black object which for them is brown, and a red hanky which for them it's green. My Biology lab professor in first year colloge put me under color blindness test before a Microscope practical exam and she confirmed my condition. hahaha. I also got deductions from my Unknown analysis test in Chem17 because I failed to recognize the color pink. It's hard, but I have to admit that there are some aspects of it that is fun and funny. :D
I am retrosexual, that is, I could leave our house without even combing my hair. I don't care much on how I look. :D
I can't cook, save for hotdogs and fried eggs. I can cook rice without using a rice cooker. :D
I eat too much!!!!! I know it doesn't show well. I think I will stay slim for the rest of my life.
I love reading English Novels: Detective stories, mysteries, and dramas. I can't appreciate SciFi and Love Stories.
I hate waiting for a very long time and staying idle. I always want to move around and do something.
I love pandas.They are too big and cute and huggable for me. I arrived at one of the Simbang gabi masses this year being hot headed and tired. I haven't smiled at the bulk of the day. However, one of my choir mates gave me a small Panda toy and my day brightened up so quickly. :D
When I become amazed at one movie, I become amazed for months about it (or even longer). My Moulin Roue mania lasted for more than a year. Now, my catharsis about The Kite Runner is ongoing, and I don't knwo up to when it will last (I have watched it the other day)
I am always touched with Father-Son themed works: Novels, paintings, movies, etc. :D
I play the guitar well.

Now, the 10 poor victims I will tag, I mean, bestow this award to, are:

Gerald
Anna C
Janel
Sprangkol Jojo
Ely

Way Back into Goodness

2008-12-27T17:07:00.000+08:00

"There is a way to be good again"

In the midst of the "Twilight" mania, I have read and seen "The Kite Runner"

This is one great story that touched my life greatly. I even searched four different malls just to have a copy of the movie. I agree to Mr Jeffrey Lyons: "Surely one of THE GREATEST FILMS you are ever going to see!" The movie also deserves Heartland's TRULY MOVING PICTURE AWARD.

A must see!

Sacra Facio

2008-12-23T18:47:00.000+08:00

Oo nga naman, sa twing magtatanong ka kung bakit nagsisimbang gabi ang mga people, ang majority ng sagot ay "Sacrifice."

Maheerap.... (1) gumising ng maaga [o huwag matulog ng maaga for the anticipated mass] (2) huwag maligo dahil malamig (3) tumayo sa simbahan (4) magtiis ng init (5) magtiis na nakatayo (4) matulog ng nakatayo (5) Kumanta ng maganda (6) dedmahin ang katabing madaldal (7) Magkunwaring hindi napapansin ang fuss ng lahat ng servers sa likod ng simbahan [Sacristans, offerors etc] (8) mapagsabihan after kumuha ng picture gamit ang camera na biglangnag FLASH (9) idigest ang homily (10) tiisin ang naghalo halong pabngo ng laht ng katabi mo (11) dedmahin ang iyak ng mga baby na naiirita sa init at dami ng tao.

Sobrang hirap talaga magsimbang gabi. Hahaha. Pero s ahomily kanina ni father, madaming naenlighten sa ibig sabihin ng Pagsasakripisyo.

Sacra, Facio: Banal, Mukha. Banal, Mukha. Gawaing banal, Mukha. Paggawa ng banal upang Makita ang Mukha.

Mukha nino?

Mukha ng Panginoon.

Oh well, though kadalasan nagiging "Penge-noon" ang ating Panginoon, lalo na sa mga may wish this Christmas, pinakamahalaga pa din ang matandaan na ang pasko ay panahon ng pagtuon sa mukha ng Panginoon na naging tao. Si Hesus, ang Sanggol sa Sabsaban ang siyang nagbigay ng karangalan sa lahat ng tao.

Walang saysay ang simbang gabi kung wala ang desire na makita ang Panginoon sa season na ito. Makita nawa natin si Hesus bilang bunga ng ating pagsasakrafasyo ngayong panahon ng kapaskuhan.

Pero pwede pa din magwish ang mga nakakumpleto ng Simbang Gabi. :D Kongrats!!!

(Wahoo!!!)

James All Around

2008-12-23T07:20:00.000+08:00

Nangaroling kami kahapon sa Aristocrat marketing. Hahaha. Inaanak kasi ng mayari ang kapatid ko (si paolo, kapwa ko Bass). Wala lang. todo career ang caroling namin, lalo na ako. hehe kasi... yung isang nandun sa office, kamukhang kamukha ni Kuya James Lim (Hangad). Medyo mas mahaba nga lang buhok niya. hehehe. Sobrang nainspire tuloy ako mangaroling, kamukha ba naman ng idol ko yung nandun.

"Tep kamukha ni Kuya James o." sabi ko.

"Shame, oo nga." ang sagot ng mga kasamahan ko.

Sayang di ko napicturan!

To all of my friends who find this Christmas so Cold, inside and out.

I wanna tell you that you are not the only one! We all experiecne the same sadness and loneliness due to different reasons. But, come on, this Season is too good and too exciting to be spoiled! :D

Simle, and be happy. Being at peace, like happiness, is a matter of Choice.

Hahahaha. It's Jesus' Birthday!!!!! :D Rejoice and be glad!!!

"Ako'y nagtataka sa Paskong kay lamig, doon pa nadama init ng pagibig. sa Sanggol at Ina puso'y huwag isara, at sa bawat isa puso mo'y buksan na, buksan na! Pasko na! pasko na! tayo'y magkaisa, magsama sa saya ng Sanggol at Ina! PASKO NA!!!"

Politically Correct Bedtime Story: The Three little Pigs

2008-12-18T07:03:00.000+08:00

Once there were three little pigs who lived together in mutual respect and in harmony with their environment. Using materials that a\were indigenous to the area, they each built a beautiful house. One pig built a house of straw, one a house of sticks and one a house of dung, clay and creeper vines shaped into bricks and baked in a small kiln. When they were finished, the pigs were satisfied with their work and settled back to live in peace and self-determination.

But their idyll was soon shattered. One day, along came a big, bad wolf with expansionist ideas. He saw the pigs and grew very hungry, in both a physical and an ideological sense. When the pigs saw the wolf, they ran into the house of straw. The wolf ran up to the house and banged on the door, shouting, "Little pigs, little pigs, let me in!"

The pigs shouted back, "Your gunboat tactics hold no fear for pigs defending their homes and culture!"

But the wolf wasn't to be denied what he thought was his manifest destiny. So he huffed and puffed and blew down the house of straw. Teh frightened pigs ran to the house of sticks, with the wolf in hot pursuit. Where the house of straw had stood, other wolves bought up the land and started a banana plantation.

At the house of sticks, the wolf again banged on the door and shouted, "Little pigs, little pigs, let me in!"

The pigs shouted back, "Go to hell, you carnivorous, imperialistic oppressor!"

At this, thw olf shouted condescendingly. He thought to himself: "They are so childike in their ways. It will be a shame to see them go, but progress cannto be stopped.."

So the wolf huffed and puffed and blew down the house of sticks. The pigs ran to the house of bricks with the wolf close at their heels. Where the house of sticks had stood, other wolves built a time-share condo resort complex for vacationing wolves, with each unit a fiberglass reconstruction of the house of sticks, as well as native curio shops, snorkeling and dolphin shows.

At the house of bricks, the wolf again banged on the door and shouted, "Little pigs, little pigs, let me in!"

This time in response, the pigs sang songs of solidarity and wrote letters of protest to the United Nations.

By now the wolf was getting angry at the pigs' refusal to see the situation from the carnivore's point of view. So he huffed and puffed and huffed and puffed, then grabbed his chest and fell over dead from a massive heart attack brought on from eating too many fatty foods.

The three little pigs rejoiced that justice had triumphed and did a little dance around the corpse of the wolf. Their next step was to liberate their homeland. They gathered together a band of other pigs who had been forced off their lands. This new brigade of porcinistas attacked the resort complex with machine guns and rocket launchers and slaughtered the cruel wolf oppressors, sending a clear signal to the rest of the hemisphere not to medle in their internal affairs. Then the pigs set up a model socialist democracy with free education, universal health care and affordable housing for everyone. (JFG)

Martes maYelo

2008-12-16T18:11:00.000+08:00

Adik. Late ako sa 34 kanina. Wahaha. Sa sobrang lamig kaninang madaling araw, sumakit na naman ang tenga ko. Wah. Masama tuloy pakiramdam ko buong araw. Anyway, after nung 34, dapat mag-HPLC kami with Sir Solis. Kaso, pinospone na lang siya next year. hahaha. Anyway, happy ako dun. So by 1 pm, clueless na ako sa kung anong pwedeng gawin.

Hanggang mag-aya tong si D'rin na pumunta ng Sm para bumili ng pangexchange gift bukas. hahaha. Actually, hindi ako yung inaya niya kundi si Mich at si Jaynel. pero nakiEpal to the max ako at sabi kong gusto kong sumama. hahaha. Di pa kami ganun ka-close, makapal lang mukah ko kanina. :D

In the end, it turned out na hindi pala sasama si jaynel at si Mich, kaya ako na lang at si D'rin. :DHahaha. Papunta na kami ng FC Waiting shed ng makita namin si Charles. Sasama daw siya, pero gusto niya dun sa Vinzon's sumakay. Go naman kami ni D'rin. Aba! Hindi naman pala talaga sasama tong si Charles! :D Hehehe. Well okay lang, haha, mahirap din naman kasi sumakay ng SM north jeep sa may FC.

Kamusta naman, magaalasdos na ng dumating kami sa SM! May 2;30 class pa kami with Dr Llaguno! (Chem 156). Haha. nakabili ako ng para sa akin, pero si D'rin nahirapan maghanap nung wish ng nabunot niya. Nang malapit na mag 2:30, sabi ni D'rin punat na raw ako sa skul dahil ayaw niya mag 156. :) Ayoko sana siyang iwan kaso mukhang may binabalak na somethign si Girl. :D

Hahaha. 3 pm na ng dumating ako sa klase. By golly. Sampu lang kaming pumasoK! At... natawag pa ako sa makasaysayang Board Work ni Dr. Llaguno! Oh well, madali lang naman yung inassign niya sakin. :D

Hahaha. Nakaktuwa actually si Dr. Llaguno. Gusto niya raw nung Tupperware na toy ng Babies. Yung sphere na may iba't ibang butas like Square, Triangle, Circle, Star, tapos may mga pieces na magfifit dun. Ganun din daw kasi yung mga problems sa 156. :D Nagpaparinig yata tong si Sir ng gusto niya for Christmas eh! :D NAalala ko dati nung di ko pa nakikita si Sir, sabi ni Faye, mukha daw siyang baby. Nang sabihin niya ng gusto niya nung laruan na yun, naintindihan ko na si Faye.Sa totoo lang, cheerful si Sir kanina, unlike last meeting! Nagjojoke siya at nakasmile palagi. :D hahaha.

Happy naman yung mag nangyaris akin today. Kaso all teh while ay nasusuka at dahihilo ako. Sobrang sama ng pakiramdam ko. During 156, sinabi ko yun kay faye. Gusto ko sanang tumambay after 156 kaso kailangan ko na siyang ihiga. Hayun, paguwi ko, kain konti at pahinga. Okay naman na, kaso, masakit pa rin ang tenga ko at masakit ang ulo. Sobranglamig pah!

Hindi bale, gagaling din ako. :D

Lunes Mystical

2008-12-16T00:05:00.000+08:00

(Walang kinalaman ang Title sa post except na ang mag pangyayaring inilahad dito ay nangyari ng Lunes)

Kahapon nag High Performance Liquid Chromatography kami. Or should I say... HALOS nagHPLC kameh. Well, nagawa na yung sample. tapos yung group na magcacalibrate pumunta na sa Analytical Services LAboratory. Tapso kami namang naiwan hintay to the max ang ginawa. Ako, medyo excited na MagHLPC kasi naririnig rinig ko lang yun dati tapos ngayon magagawa ko na.

Sa aming paghihintay, naburyong na talaga kaming lahat. nanood na lang kami ng House Bunny sa laptop ni Ansyl. Hahaha. Mejo may pagkaEngEng yung bida dun, pero ala-Legally Blonde naman ang storya. hahaha.

By 4 pm, narealize ko na isang oras na lang at matatpo sna ng Lab period at HINDI PA TAPOS YUNG NAGCACALIBRATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Shak. Ayokong umabot ng hanggang 10pm nun dahil may Simbang Gabi ng 9pm! Oh well.. sa huli, nagdesisyon si Sir na idismiss na lang ang class. Well, babalik yung grupo namin tomorrow ng 1 pm para ituloy na expt. Hopefully ayos na ang Machine!!!!

Namove narin yung deadline ng Gas Chromatography RDR (results and Discussion). Hahaha.

Okay na sana yung araw ko, kaso naman tong si Faye at Afi hindi ko naramdaman. Si Afi may sakit kaya hindi naglab at pumunta ng ChemSoc tambayan (Swerte niya talaga dahil hidn natuloy ang expt!). Ito namang si Faye, nandun nga pero ubod naman ng taray at pangiirap ang ginagawa. Baka joke niya lang yun. haha,. Di ko alam!

May sakit kasi tong si faye, si Afi din. Si kristine Din. Si jonay din, at lahat na yata ng ChemSoc people na kilala ko. Sabi nila dahil daw dun sa food na kinain nila sa induction. :D Or baka kasi kumain sila, tapos Umindak. Indaksyon nga eh. (Patawa lang).

Waaahhh! Nakita ko din si Aizle. Sabi niya magaaply na rin siya sa ChemSoc. HappY! :D

Pagaabang

2008-12-15T18:46:00.000+08:00

Malamig na talaga anO? Nanginginig ako kanina pagkaligo ko in preparation for the 9pm Simbang gabi mass. Si Ate Michelle tinanong ako kung seryoso daw akong maliligo. hahaha. Mukha ba akong hindi seryoso??? Hehehe.

Paglabas ko ng bahay napakasaya ko. Pasko kasi ang pinakapaborito kong time of the year. Damang dama ko lang kasi ang cheerfulness ng atmosphere at nakakaexcite ang anticipation ng pagcelebrate ng Birth ni Jesus. ang saya-saya!

At laging masaya ako sa twing may kantang pamasko. :D

Pagdating ko sa Chapel, hindi pa ganun karaming tao. Isang oras pa kasi bago magsimula ang Misa. Pero nung malapit na magsimula, OA sa dami ng tao sa chapel!!!! Siksik hanggang labas. Yung mga sakristan nga na nakaantabay sa likod nakaupo na lang sa sahig. Ang fun fun fun isipin na ang daming nagsisimba! Ang happy pa ni Fr. Ben kanina. Ang chubby ng pisngi niya, para siyang Panda! :D

"Ano ang liwanag ng buhay mo?"

Iyan yung pinaiisipan ko hanggang ngayon.

Sabi nila kapag nakabuo ng 9 na simbang gabi masses, pwede kang magwish at matutupad. Para sa akin, kung walang desire na mapalapit pa kay Lord at madeepen pa ang relationship sa kanya at the end of Simbang Gabi, walang saysay ang lahat.

Im looking forward for Christmas!!!! Happy Birthday Jesus!!!

Pogi Ako. Pogi Kame. :D

2008-12-11T16:23:00.000+08:00

The picture below is me on my first birthday. :D Eighteen Years ago. :)

And this picture was taken last month. My nephew Gian on his First Birthday.

You don't have to say it. We look so much alike. :) GWAPO DIN SIYA PAGLAKI>

-----Waaah.. Intense!!!!!--------

2008-12-11T12:59:00.000+08:00

Wahaha. Ewan ko ba. :)

Masaya ako kapag nakikita kita. Hindi pa tayo ganon kaclose. Ni hindi pa nga yata tayo nagkausap. hangang tinginan lang... haha. Pero... Sa mga times na nagtatagpo ang mga mata natin pakiramdam ko ako na ang pinakamaswerteng tao para matingnan mo ng ganun. hahaha.

Hindi mo siguro alam, malamang hindi nga, pero, laging gumagaan ang pakiramdam ko kapag nakikita kita, o sa tuwing alam kong malapit ka na. Hahaha. Masaya na ako sa mga simpleng sulyap, makita ka lang na naka-smile. Hahaha. Makinig sa mga jokes mo, at iadmire secretly ang napakaganda mong mukha. Ang sarap mo talaga tingnan. Kung hindi nga lang talaga masama tumitig sa mukha ng isang tao, matagal ko ng ginawa na tumitig sa yo. :D Ang CUTE CUTE MO KASEEEHHHH!!!!

Hindi ako inlab sayo. haha dapat hindeh. Pero sobrang naadmire ko lang talaga ang Kagandahan mo bilang tao. Sana mas makilala pa kita. :D

Tender Loving Care :D

Si ate ko with my Nephew. :D

Inspirasyon! :D

2008-12-08T19:39:00.000+08:00

Dahil sa Awit ng Paghilom, napansin kong mas naging close kami ni Otep at Kuya Jason. :D Hahaha. Parang may kakaibang Klik na sa twing nagkikita kaming tatlo. I mean, close friends naman kami talaga, pero parang napunta to a deeper level. :D

Kapag ang isang tao, nakasama ang isa pa at may mga common experience silang nashare together, parang may kakaibang bond na nabubuo sa kanila. Kami namang tatlo, yung experience na praktisin yung kanta ng buong sigasig, at kantahin yung kanta na may kakaibang "uniting factor" ang naging daan siguro para mas mahalin at mas maging close kami sa isa't isa.

What do i mean by uniting factor? Hmmm... Kumakanta kami. Sa isang soloista, kapag kumakanta siya, conscious siya sa sarili niyang tono at kung maganda ba ang tunog ng boses niya habang kumakanta. Kapag duet naman, bukod sa sariling tono, conscious din dapat sa tono ng ka-duet, at dapat nagbeblend ang pagkanta nilang dalawa. Pero kapag trio na.... Parang duet rin, pero to a higher level... tatlo na ang inaalalayan mo. Nagaalalayan kayong tatlo, at kapag magunite ang mga boses niyo to create a very nice melody, successful!

Yung feeling namin tatlo after namin mabuo yung kanta, mas minahal namin ang isa't isa, at yung Kanta siyempre, at yung Kinakantahan siyempre (Panginoon Ko, hanap-hanap Ka ng puso...)

HANGAD inspires talaga! http://hangad.com

Share good experiences guys! Share music! Share God's Love! :D

AhLaveht!

Habang naglulunch kami sa pic na to, nagjoke ako sa kanila (Sabi ko, Adam is the first in the Human Race). Corny daw akO!

Nais Kong Umawit para sa Poon. :D

2008-12-03T20:35:00.000+08:00

Wah. Natapos na namin Awit ng PaghiloM! Ang saya-saya ko! :D

OA talaga sa saya. hahaha. May ikalimang Mario na. Si Kuya Jason na yung sa part ng Baritone (never pakita kasi 'tong si kek at Gerry). Ganda ganda. :D

Adam-Jason-Otep. :D Waaah. Sobrang Bonding night namin ngayon. Tuwang tuwa kaming tatlo. After nung praktis, pumunta kami sa isang Siopao Shop for Merienda (mga 10:30 pm na yun). Kinakanta padin namin yun. Hahaha. Sabi nga nung tindera.. "Wow.. Choir Kayo?" Ang saya saya, lalo kami ni Otep. Dati kasi parang napanood lang namin sa Concert yun ng Hangad, tapos ngayon nakanta namin ng buo. Waw.

Grabeehh. Ang sarap magemote sa kantang yon! "Adik na kung adik, hahaha, meaningful naman ang kinaadikan!" sabi ni Otep.

Ang galing. Para kay Lord!!!! :D

Dec. 2 na naman! :D

2008-12-02T13:37:00.000+08:00

Pragmatist- mga user-friendly friends. Gets niyo? :D Hehehe.

Chem 34.1... a yun pala ang principle behind Mass Spectromet- boog. Hehe. Inantok ako eh.

Chem 154. Balik na lang tayo sa Fugacity, ayoko ng Phase Diagrams. Oh Chem 154, sana laging nanjan sa mga gabing naiinsomia ako.

Chem 156... The best subject today. Hahaha. Ang fun ng mga tinuturo ni Sir Llaguno. Nagtatawag siya lagi for BoardWork. Masaya ako at hindi ako natawag! hahaha, pero uber gets ko nman yung lessons ngayon (Hamiltonian at Langrangian Formalism) :D

ChemSoc Tambayan. Happy and Excited na me! :D

Kahapon napraktis na naming tatlo yung Awit ng Paghilom. gandaganda. :D Sayang wala akong pics during the practice. :D

Si Otep (on my right) ang nagtetenor (ala Kuya Nicky) Si Patrick (on my left), ang ikaapat na Mario, yung Baritone (ala Kuya Teej!) at Ako naman (Ang feelingerong nasa gitna) ang nagba-bass (Yesssh! ala Kuya James!). We are so honored- like honor students!

Hindi sa pago-OA a, pero halos maiyak kami after mapraktis yung kanta. Nakakapagod kasi! Pero fulfilling! :D Natapos namin hanggang bago mag-Third verse. :D hahaha.

Kung gusto niyo mapakinggan yung original mp3 nito as sung by Kuyas James, Nicky and Teej, nasa Music page nitong multiply ko. :D

Ang sarap talagang umawit para sa Panginoon! Wala na yatang love song ang makakatapat sa isang kantang buong pusong inaawit para sa kanya. :D

2008-11-28T17:08:00.000+08:00

Last day ko sa center kanina. Nandun si Sir Rendell, Ms.Jen, Ms.Jez at si Sir Aldo. Actually, dahil kakatapos lang ng exams ng ateneo kaninang umaga, walang atenistang high school na dumating. :)

Dalawa lang ang dumating: si Aria ng Miriam Grade School at Lawrence ng Xavier.

Fun talaga pag Friday, ang konti ng bata. Tamang-tamang pambawi after ng pagdasang umaatikabo ng mga bata from Monday hanggang Thursday.

Nakakatuwa, dumaan si Faye (hindi si Carvajal hah hahaha.) para lang mag-goodbye sakin. Haaaay... Mamimiss ko yun. First YEar High School sa Miriam, at lagi kong kaduet sa mga kantang "Kung liligaya ka, sa piling ng iba..." Hehehehe.

Ang bangag ko sa center kanina. Siguro kasi ang konti ng bata. Isa pa, sobrang lungkot ko. At times, defense Mechanism ko nalang yung pagtawa-tawa dahil wala namang mangyayari kung ipapakita ang over na lungkot.

Sigh. Hindi ko naman kasi akalain na kailangan kong umalis sa Center. Uber naman kasi ang mga pangyayari sa School na hindi na kaya ng madlang tissues ko sa katawan. Dagdag pressure pa ang DOST scholarship dahil *TOOOOOOOOOOT*

Malungkot dahil nasanay na ako na mkikita ko ang maga bata at co-tutors ko every day of my life. Kahit nakakapagod at over nakakahaggard, iba yung satisfaction na may natulungan kang bata. tapos friends pa ang turingan ninyo. Kahit nga nagkakabatuk-batukan na kami okay lang. hehehe. Joke.

Wala lang. Sobrang enjoy ko magturo, lalo na kapag Chem. tapos sa bawat tinuturuan may sinisingit na kwentuhan. Hehe. Lalo na siguro yung mga Grade School ng Miriam. Madaldal pa kay Nicole Eala.

Hay malungkot din isipin na ngayon pang nagiging super close (or fc) na ako sa mga co-tutors ko ay kakailnganin ko pang umalis.Hay...nakakatakot malagay sa risk ang studies ko. Hebigats lang naman na Chemistry subjects ngayon ang tine-take ko. Kailangan ko ng extra time sa pagaaral, at extra effort para wala nang ibagsak at para hindi mawala ang scholarship. The mind is willing, kaso, di na kaya ng aking precious, delicious at sumptuous body. Hehehehe/

Huhu. Demanding na talaga ang pagaaral. Nakakasira ng ibang bagay. Joke. :D

Si Tracy nagsabi na hindi siya makakadating ngayon sa center dahil manonood ang family niya ng Twilight. Speaking of Twilight, ang bangag ko talaga sa Twilight. Lagi ko lang siyang naririnig. Naiirita ako dahil hindi ko naman mabasa. Hahaha. Twaylay talaga oh.

Going back... Waaahhh. Andami kong mamimiss sa center. Hindi bale, baka bumalik naman ako! Lalo kapag exam week na kailangan ng tutor sa chem. Pwede me (for Sir Aldo..)! :D

Hahaha. Kuya Aldo, Ms. Jenny, Ms Jen, Sir Erik, Sir Rendell, Ms.JEz, Mamimiss ko kayo! (Kuya Aldo, see you sa St.Ben!) Kids, ayusin ang pagaaral hah, lab you all!!!!! Lagi kayo nasa prayers ko. :)

Paguwi ko ng bahay ngayong gabi nandoon sina Ja-lou, ang magasawang choir masters ng BNP choir. May praktis kasi ang mga bass ng Christmas Song. Sayang nga eh, si Gerry lang ang wala sa bass. Andun si Mark, ako at si Paolo. Yeah, tatlo lang kami.

Well.. medyo nahirapan ako sa start nung prakis kasi wala pa akong pahinga. Anhirap matandaan nung tono. Pero okay naman... haha, natapos namin praktisin yung buong kanta in more or less, an hour. :D

"Bituin" ang title niya, a Bukas Palad original. Hehe.

Wala lang gusto ko lang i-share. :D

Thanks sa inyo! :D

HELP!!!! (Chepito, Gilbert, and all M+ kids)

2008-11-24T16:54:00.000+08:00

I lost my Form 26 A.

Apat na green papers (size: half ng isang short bond paper, at hindi ko sure kung green yon, basta parang green *color blind ako guys*) na nakalista ang mga subjects ko. Importante yun. I think naipit ko yung sa CLE book ni CHep or nagpalipad lipad habang wala sa sariling umiikot ikot sa center habang hawak ko yung green na notebook kung saan yon nakaipit.

Help.... I think nawala ito nung araw na tinuruan ko ng CLE si Gilbert at Chep, remember, about Abraham to Moses? I think lang naman! Kasi yun yung araw na nilabas ko yung green ko rin na notebook mula sa bag ko.

:) Txt me agad kung nasa inyo nga or kung may ganitong papel kayong nakita sa center.. :D Libre ko kayo talaga Pramis. :D

I don't like to tell the world about Otep (blue jacket), who sings very well.

I don't like to tell the world about Gerry (white), who sings very well too.

I don't like to tell the world about me, *some text missing*

But I would like to tell the world about the three of us, the "Tatlong Mario."

Who finds fun in singing together to beat boredom.

And dreams of learning the song "Awit ng Paghilom."

Whatever might happen we will crave more and more.

And look for a way to find a copy, (eventhough we don't have the money) of the song's musical score. :D

Fresh Start

I had a good start this morning. Everything seemed so new and fresh.

I arrived at the chapel about ten minutes before the 7am mass. I greeted Michael, one of the BNP sacristans and Patrick's younger brother, with a smile. At the choir place I saw Otep wearing blue and Gerry wearing the Lector uniform. He was making funny faces. I later heard from Otep that Gerry is suffering from LBM. "Don't stop in the middle of the reading!" I reminded him.

Singing for the mass felt so easy. My heart is filled with so much love and happiness that I enjoyed reaching for the highest and lowest notes of the bass' melody. Funny what the Lord could do to me in one snap.

I received Communion this morning as if it's the first time I will ever do it. I felt so full, intact, and strong. Strong in the Lord's hands, I am. We sang "Gandang SInauna at Sariwa," and the message of the song traveled throughout my being as if it was implanted on my bone marrows. I love the Lord. Nothing could keep me from loving Him.

It's been so long. Now I'm back.

Ancient and Fresh

2008-11-08T18:55:00.000+08:00

The Lord has existed ever since before the beginning of life. Since then up to now, alive He is, and never fails to be who He really is. He is that same loving God who, out of love, created, who, out of love, died, and who, out of love, patiently waited and is still waiting; He waits until we find Him at the end of our search. The search for that one thing that will complete our ever empty hearts and souls. Yes, at the end of that search, He is there- the Beauty that is Ancient, but is ever New and Fresh.

Gandang Sinauna at Sariwa (Manoling Francisco)

Refrain 1.
Kay tagal bago kita minahal, gandang sinauna at sariwa.
Tapat Kang nanahan sa ‘king kalooban,
Ngunit hinahanap pa rin kahit saan.

Refrain 2.
Kay tagal bago kita minahal, gandang sinauna at sariwa.
Ako’y nagpabihag sa likha Mong tanan.
Di ko akalaing ikaw pala’y nilisan.

I.
Ako’y tinawagan mula sa katahimikan
Pinukaw Mo ang aking pandinig,
Biglang luminaw ang awit ng daigdig.
(Refrain 1)

II.
Ako’y inilawan mula sa ‘king kadiliman.
Minulat Mo, aking mga mata.
Biglang luminaw, tanglaw ko sa tuwina.
(Refrain 2)

III.
Aah…..

Kay tagal bago kita minahal, gandang sinauna at sariwa.
Akong nilikha mo, uuwi sa’yo.
Ako’y papayapa lamang sa piling Mo

I am so happy today. If our eyes are the windows to our souls, then this song is the window to my eyes. :D

Colorless

2008-11-07T15:54:00.000+08:00

I was back.

Back in the Pavilion that didn't change much since the last time I had been in it.

Back in its hallways that very well shaded and blocked all the sunlight from the outside.

Back in its old- looking rooms that kept on reminding me to not judge anything by its physical appearance.

Back in the time-constrained world wherein everybody walks thinking about things that can never be shared to anyone in the jeepney or in the cafeteria.

Back in the sight of professors that vary so much in appearance and personality.

Back in the company of my friends i missed so much.

Back to my acad world. Oh yeah. I'm loving it.

Proud to be... UP Chemistry!

Attention Intelligent Ones :D

2008-10-23T19:58:00.000+08:00

try to answer this guys. :D

During the second world war, there was a footbridge over a ravine between Germany and Switzerland. It was guarded by a German Sentry. His orders were to shoot anyone trying to escape over the bridge and to turn back anyone who did not have a signed authorization to cross. The sentry was on the German side of the bridge. He sat in a sentry post and he came out every three minutes to survey the bridge.

There was a woman who desperately needed to escape from Germany to Switzerland. She could not possibly get a pass. She knew she could sneak past the sentry whil he was in the sentry post but it would take between five and six minutes to cross the bridge. There was no place to hide on or under the bridge, so the guard would be easily able to shoot her if he saw her on the bridge escaping to Switzerland. However, she was able to escape across that bridge. How was this so?

I'm kind enough to give clues:

1) She didn't escape by running over the bridge or by hiding on it.
2)She escaped by tricking the guard in some way
3)The guard didn't break any order given to him by authority.

There is an answer to this puzzle guys. :)

Asan ang Peace dun?

2008-10-22T23:00:00.000+08:00

Alam niyo guys, natutunan kong ang dull dull ng buhay kung puro para sa sarili lang natin ang ginagawa natin. Kung puro pagpapakagahaman sa self satisfaction ang nanaisin natin sa araw-araw na ginawa ng Diyos, marerealize natin at the end of the day na ang self-satisfaction na matatanggap natin ay fake naman talaga. Walang peace dun.

Isa pang mahirap ay yung mabubuhay tayo ayon sa sinasabi ng iba. Yung mabuhay na para bang nalilimitahan ang ating sarili sa maaring sabihin ni Ganito or ni Ganyan. Unang una, hindi tayo ginawa para maparanoid everyday of our lives na baka we are looking bad for some other people. Walang peace dun.

Mahirap din ang ikukumpara ang sarili sa iba. Mahirap na mairita forever and ever sa isang tao. Mahirap yung mapipilitan kang tumakbo ng mas mabilis pa sa world's fastest runner kapag nakikita mong parating yung taong to the nth power ang pagkairita mo. Mahirap yung ina-isolate mo yung sarili mo dahil lamang nakakabwisit maging kasama ang isang taong para sa 'yo ay mukha namang palaka o di kaya'y plastik na may red at white stripes na ginagamit sa palengke. Mahirap magtago ng grudge dahil sa huli ikaw lang ang nasasaktan. Walang peace dun.

Mahirap ding sabihin na "Always, I can manage." Mahirap maging judgmental, mahirap magconclude sa mag bagay-bagay na naoobserbahan lang. Sa huli kasi, mali naman pala akala mo, at ang idadahilan ay tao lamang ako na nagkakamali.

Tao (walang LAMANG) tayo na nagkakamali, pero tao din tayo na marunong magdistinguish ng right sa wrong, at yung alam nating makakasama sa huli o makabubuti. Kung para sa atin, alam nating mali at mahirap ang maging ganito ang mindset, bakit pa natin gagawin? Kung gagawa tayo ng laban sa ating moral at konsensiya, nasaan ang peace dun?

Wala.

Masarap mabuhay ng walang inaalalang iisipin ng iba, Masarap mabuhay ng marunong magpatawad at hindi nagtatanim ng Galit. Masarap mabuhay ng selfless life. Masarap mabuhay ng isang life na hindi Self-dependent. Masarap maging peaceful na tao. Higit sa lahat, masarap tanggapin na hindi ako papayapa unless maging payapa ako sa piling ni Lord.

Sa piling ni Lord, yeah, for sure may peace dun!

Wednesday Motto

2008-10-22T06:41:00.000+08:00

As long as there is at least one person who believes that I am talented on one thing, I will remain believing that I am talented, and as long as there is at least one person who loves me, I will remain believing that I am always loved.

Adam's WYD Ongoing =D

2008-10-22T06:10:00.000+08:00

“Mahirap, pero kaya”. Ito na marahil ang pinakamensahe na iniwan sa isipan ko ng nakaraang selebrasyon ng World Youth Day. Isa sa mga hindi ko makakalimutang bahagi ng World Youth Day ang ginawa naming Pilgrimage Walk mula North Sydney hanggang Randwick Racecourse kung saan magaganap ang Overnight Vigil at Final Mass. Kung hindi ako nagkakamali, tatlo at kalahating oras kaming naglalakad. Sa paglalakad na ito, napuno ang daan ng Sydney ng mga taong walang ibang ginawa kundi i-cheer ang pangalan ni Hesus at papurihan siya sa lahat ng paraang maisip: sayaw, tugtog, awit, etc. Waring natigil ang buong Sydney. Maging mga Construction Workers sa isang building ay huminto sa trabaho at gumawa ng dalawang krus na gawa sa kahoy para lamang batiin kami.

Sa simula ng aking World Youth Day experience, ako ay nagkaroon ng naimpeksyong sugat sa aking kanang tuhod. Sa buong selebrasyon, dala-dala ko ang napakasakit na sugat na ito na siyang naging dahilan para mahirapan ako maglakad. At dahil hindi mawawala sa isang pilgrimage ang paglalakad, napakalaking sakripisyo ang dala-dala ko mula ng magsimula ang WYD. Sa pilgrimage walk, may mga pagkakataon nang gusto kong huminto na lang at umiyak dahil sa sakit na nararamdaman, ngunit pinili kong magpatuloy sa paglalakbay dahil alam kong walang mangyayari kung hihinto ako at alam ko din na may magandang naghihintay sa akion sa Randwick.

At sa umaga matapos ang Night Vigil sa Randwick, isang milagrong napansin kong gumaling na ang aking nag-nanang sugat, at sa kauna-unahang pagkakataon sa buong World Youth Day Celebration, nakaya ko nang lumuhod sa Final Mass.

Sa karanasan kong ito nangusap sa akin si Hesus. Maraming kailangan gawin sa mundong ito. Maraming kailangang ibigay para maipakilala ang Diyos sa napakaraming tao. Bilang bata, naiintindihan ko ang mga napagdadaanan ng kapwa ko teenagers. Alam ko ang mga bagay na nagpapahiwalay sa marami sa Diyos. Mukhang magiging mahirap ang hamon na tayo’y maging misyonero sa mundong ito na nakakalimot n asa Diyos. Ngunit sinabi sa akin ng Panginoon: “Oo mahirap, pero KAYA!!!”

Mahaba pa ang lakaran, pero sa huli ay gagaling din ang sugat at maaayos din ang lahat. Mahirap, pero kaya.

For Kuya Jeejee

2008-10-16T05:42:00.000+08:00

For Kuya Jeejee,

Ipa-murder mo na lang si Lorree. Hehe. Joke lang.

Kuya, I wonder if nasabi niya lang yun kay Beebee. Kusapin mo si Lorree. Hello, baka may iba naman pala siyang ibig sabihin!

Pero kung ako ikaw, hmm... paslangin si Lorree. Hehe. JOke ulit.

Naiintindihan ko kung nasasaktan ka. Na dun sa panahon na sobrang close niyo ay mga panahon din palang nagdadalawang isip siyang ayaw ka niya maging ka-close for whatever reason (wirdo si Lorree). Pero ikaw naman makakadama nun diba? Kung ayaw niya talaga dapat napansin mo nung mga panahon na yun. Baka naman pati siya naguguluhan.

Pero bago ang lahat, pag-pray mo muna!

Okey? Basta, next time na malungkot ka, libre kita ng paborito mong fries, tawagin mo lang ako. :D

Adam.

What shall I do?

2008-10-15T17:35:00.000+08:00

I have a friend. His name is Giraffy. I have another friend. His name is Fishy.

At the beginning of our friendship, I am not that comfortable with Fishy. I had some mistakes that he took badly and he had hurt me too. But time passed and we were able to mend up. We were able to grow close with each other.

Some time two months ago, I had been able to completely be comfortable with Fishy. We had been close, singing songs together and being open to each other. We were able to joke around and be the friends we expected to be.

But on one of those getting-better-in-our-closeness days, Giraffy approached me and told me something Fishy had revealed to him. Giraffy is a very close friend, so he was concerned about the revelation of Fishy. He was concerned about me.

Fishy had told him, "I don't want this closeness with Adam." Giraffy was shocked, and so was I when he told me that. Fishy told Giraffy also to keep that secret.

At first I chose not to take that blow seriously. I want to relate with him truthfully as I was from the very beginning and I wouldn't care if he has things at the back of his mind. But as time passed, eventhough he chose to keep it secret, what he really feels are manifested through his actions, and I am hurt from within.

At present, I am hurt because he still chooses to not tell me what he feels and relate with me as if he's not hiding anything. I have told Giraffy, and Lippy, another friend, about what I feel, and they can't do anything but to stand at a distance and watch.

I just came home now very heavy-heartedly. I saw Fishy tonight, and what I could see is a stone-faced friend hidden behind those smiles of him.

Walang Ibang Hangad!

2008-10-14T06:43:00.000+08:00

Excited na ako kantahin to sa sabado for Fr. Geoffrey. :D Ang sarap kantahin nung tono naming mga bass. :D Napakagandang awitin! Produkto ito ng sobrang pagamamhal ng composer kay Lord. Marinig niyo din sana! :D

Last Thursday, nasa computer shop ako sa UP. Napadpad lang ako sa blog ni kuya jAmes (www.jampackedbear.blgospot.com) tapos nakita kong downloadable pala yung piyesa nung kanta dun. Dinownload ko lang kasama nung You raise me up at I Will Sing a capella. Si Kuya JAson kasi at Ate Lou (mga choir masters namin) Mahilig mangolekta ng piyesa. Isa pa, mula nung napanood namin yung Hangad na kinanta yun, lagi na namin kinakanta. Kaso, hindi namin kabisado. Favorite nga siya ni Camille eh (alto).

So nung friday, binigay ko lang yung piyesa kina jalou. Bahala sila kung ituturo nila sa amin. Hehehe...

Malay ko bang Monday ay matututunan na namin yung kanta! Yeah! nakaya na namin kantahin! Wahaha! SATB pah! :D As in nung SUnday bago kami maghiwahiwalay after nung Disciples of Jesus Community Gathering, nagusap usap na kami kung anung oras everyday this week magpraktis dahil sembreak na. Napagusapan naming kareerin ang kanta for Fr. geoffrey's despedida on Saturday. Malay ba naming mamamster namin ito after one day of Praktis. Oh Gash. Ang saya saya namin. :D Buong araw ko na ito kinakanta ngayon.

Pati kagabi bago ako matulog kinakanta ko siya. TALK ABOUT LSS!!!!!! :)) lol

Walang Ibang Hangad.

Pa'nong di mapapakanta pag ang buhay puspos ng ganda?
Pa'nong mananahimik lang sa biyayang nakamtan?
Kaibigan at tinig, kulay at himig, Iisang pinagmulan, iisang dahilan!

Pa'nong di magagalak nasilayan ang yong mukha?
Tawag ngkalooban ko'y ipagdiwang ang nadarama!
Tuwa't pananalig, pagasa't pagibig,
Iisang pinagmulan, iisang dahilan!

Walang ibang hangad, kundi awitan ka!
Awitin ng papuri't pasalamat sa iyo!
Ng makita ng buong mundo ang pagibig at kadakilaan mo!
habambuhay isa ang hangad, Umawit Sa 'Yo!

Panong di mapapahiyaw pag damdamin umaapaw?
Pa'nong di ihahayag kaligtasang natuklasan?
Ng maparangalan, at matularan iisang pinagmulan!
Iisang dahilan!

Walang ibang hangad, kundi awitan ka!
Awitin ng papuri't pasalamat sa iyo!
Ng makita ng buong mundo ang pagibig at kadakilaan mo!
habambuhay isa ang hangad,
habambuhay isa ang hangad,
habambuhay isa ang hangad,
Umawit Sa 'Yo!

Ang saya saya.

Kagabi sobrang napagod talaga ako sa buong araw. After sa mentors nagpunta ako sa chapel. Mabuti nga at pagdating ko sa chapel nakapaglinis na sina ate malou, patrick, kuya jason at mark. :)

Prinaktis namin yung PSalm nagsolo73 at One Thing I ask para Sa mass ngayon. Nakakatuwa yung Psalm 73, si Gerry yung . Triny namin kung okay lang lalaki yung magsolo kasi originally ay babae ang soloista nun. Hehe. Maganda ang pagkakakanta ni gerry wla ako masabi sa boses niya. Pero mas lovely at sweet yung kanta kapag babae ang kakanta. :) PEace Bestfriend. Itayo mo ang bandila ng mga bass.

Yung One Thing I ask, mabilis lang namin prinaktis. Hehe. Isa yun kasi sa mga paborito namin at ang ganda ganda kaya saulado talaga namin yun. :D

Ang ganda ng dalawang kantang to. :) Kanta ng pananatili sa presensiya ni Lord all our days. hehe. Next time, Pananatili naman kakantahin namin, duet kami ni Eciang. Hehehe. Jokes!

Anyway, after ng mass, nagpunta ang buong choir at ang ang mga sacristan sa lugawan. Birthday kasi ng aming mentor sa chapel na si Lola Pilar. :) Nagpakain siya. Happy Bday lola! :D

At ang best part sa umaga ko ay nung prinaktis naman namin ang WALANG IBANG HANGAD! GRabe, OA sa ganda yung kanta. Kakantahin namin yun sa despedida Party ni Father geoffrey sa Sabado. hay.. Nakakalungkot dahil aalis na siya pabalik ng Australia. Hindi na siya babalik. 5 years din siya nagstay dito sa Pinas.

Going back to WIH... ang galing ng areglo nun. Ang walang kamatayang si Kuya PAulo tirol ang gumawa nun. Go kuya PAul. :) heheh.. feeling close. KAhit antok pa ako kaninang umaga (2am ako nakatulog at 6:00 nagising), nabuhayan ako sa kanta mo! :D Nakakabuhay kasi yung lyrics at yung beat.

Nakakatawa nga si Gerry eh. Palakihan kami ng bunganga sa pagkanta. hehehe. Laki ng nguso at panga nun. Yung funeraria pa sa tabi ng Chapel may ililibing na namatay. E ang lakas ng kanta dun sa karo na magdadala s akabaong sa sementeryo. Kinakanta yung "natutuog ba ang Diyos." OA sa makabasag tengang lakas nung kanta, nakarinig na yata pati yun mga tao sa St.Peter. Ang magaling na si Gerry, habang nasa loob kami ng chapel, nililip-synch yung kanta. As in OA yung lahat ng ginagawa niya pati yung movements na kunyari umiiyak. Hay, Baliw.

Anyway, ang gusto ko lang naman sabihin sa post na ito ay inaantok pa din ako. PAnsin niyo, ang gulo gulo ko magkwento. Pero hindi pwede matulog. may 3pm mass sa St.peter at ako ang commentator. :) Ok lang, it's worth it naman eh.

Gosh, I LOVE Serving the LORD! :D

How Old na ba Me?

2008-10-11T05:04:00.000+08:00

You Act Like You Are 16 Years Old

You are a teenager at heart. You don't quite feel like a grown up yet, but you don't feel like a kid.
You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world.

You're quite rebellious, and you don't like being told what to do. You like to do things your way.
You have your own unique style, taste in music, and outlook on life.

Ito yung resulta nung what Age do you act quiz galing sa blog ni ate ella. Parang gusto kong maniwala na hindeh. Harharhar.

HANGAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2008-09-07T20:55:00.000+08:00

Uhmm.. Hindi ko na kaya ipagpabukas itong post na to.

nanood uli ako ng hangad ConcerT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sabi sakin ni Kuya Teej at Kuya jAmes, magbitbit daw ako ng Friends. Ginawa ko yun. Nakalimutan kong kapwa mga hangad enthusiasts din yung mga kaibigan kong yon. Aba'y hindi na nila napigilan ang labis na saya nila ng matapos ang concert. Nakipag feeling close sa lahat ng hangad members!

As in tuwang tuwa sila sa galak.

Nahawa tuloy ako.

Sobra ang feeling. Sobra talaga. lalo na nung nagkausap kami ng sobrang hinahangaan kong si Kuya James Lim. Napakafriendly niya. Ok... kunyari hindi uli ako OA sa saya ngayon dahil dun sa one particular scene na yon na magkausap kaming dalawa.

WAAAAAAH!!!!! SOOOOBRAAAAH!!!!

As in ang galing galing ng hangad. Sa lahat ng mga hindi nakanood... Manood kayo next time. SObrang maiinspire kayo sa mga kanta nila. Hindi lang yung ganda at galing ng blending ng voices yung nakakahanga, kundi kung paano ka mata-touch ng mga kinakanta nila dahil alam mong sila mismo, alam at damang dama yung mga sinsabi ng mga inaawit nila.

Kung marinig niyo lang sana yung Awit ng Paghilom, Pag-Ibig Ko, at Maging Akin Muli, at makita ninyo kung paano nila kinanta iyon at madala kayo ng emosyon, for sure maintindihan ninyo ang nais kong sabihin.

Napaka-timely ng Hangad COncert na to. Sobrang kinausap ako ni Lord. Sobrang hindi ako nanghinayang ulitin. Im so happy talaga!

Waaah.. overwhelming ang kasiyahan na ito. Tapos nung pauwi na kami, binati pa kami ulit ni Kuya JAmes at Kuya Pau na nasa car na nila. Aatakihin talaga ako sa puso! Anyway... Yun, napakataas ng energy ng friends ko. Siyempre nga naman, The Banal na Puso Choir meets the singing group they idolize in a once in a lifetime experience, hindi pa ba susulitin?

basta ambait bait nilang lahat, at punong puno ng ka-biasan kong sasabihin na.. lalo na si Kuya James. haha. :D.

Allow me to recall all the names na maalala ko... Pau, james, Nic, kenneth, Nicky, Louis, Mariel, Bea, Teen, Teej, Ivy, Clare, Chrise, Jeanie, Meechee.

hay.. HANGAD!!!!

P.S. Sobrang thankful yung friends ko sakin dahil ininvite ko sila don. Sa kabila ng sandamakmak na pagpapaalala sa nakaraang linggo, nagbunga na ang lahat. Haha, mas OA pa sa akin matuwa after the concert eh!

What if may ganito sa SM?

2008-09-04T19:57:00.000+08:00

Hindi ko alam kung paano ako magrereact sa cartoon na ito.

Hangad Ko'y Hangad

2008-09-01T18:02:00.000+08:00

Pagod ako ng Friday Night dahil nagfacilitate ako ng Games Night ng Knights of the Altar sa St. Benedict. Kinabukasan, walang pahinga akong pumunta sa Mentors Plus sa likod ng Mcdo Katipunan, tutor kasi ako dun. 5 pm, pumunta ako s Ateneo Chapel para manood ng concert ng Hangad.

Sobrang pagod, haggard, problemado sa earth at wala na ako sa sarili ng dumating ako sa Ateneo Chapel kasama si Patrick.

Pero sobrang pinasaya ako ng Hangad.

Grabe. Alam niyo ba, naiiyak na ako dun sa kantang Awit ng paghilom. Hindi ko lang ipinahalata sa kasama ko. Busy din kasi ako kumukuha ng video. Naiiyak din ako dun sa Maging Akin Muli.

Sobrang pinagaan nila sa mga kanta nila ang aking damdamin. Pinasaya din nila ako sa cute nilang Retro Music. WAAAHH!!! (naiinlab ako dun sa Babaeng may wig na kulot ang buhok kung sino man siya!)

At higit sa lahat, nakausap ko na in person si Kuya Teej, Kuya Nicky, Kuya Nick, Ate Jeanie.. at... si... KUYA JAMES!!!!

Wala lang. Kunyari hind ako OA sa saya ngayon....

Ito ang ilang pics, patunay ng kahaggardan ko ng araw na yon, at patunay na nameet ko na in person ang mga iniidolo kong tao sa earth higit kaninuman. :D

"Pasok, Panalo, Winner!!!!"

2008-08-19T05:26:00.000+08:00

Ang saya saya ko! Lumabas na sa blog ni Kuya James Lim (www.jampackedbear.multiply.com), isang hangad member, yung limang nanalo sa contest ng Hangad na mananalo ng Commemorative CD nila. At anong gulat ko ng makita yung pangalan ko dun!!!! Grabe! Hindi ako makapaniwala sa nakita ko!

Tumaba daw ako.

2008-08-17T08:07:00.000+08:00

Lahat ng taong nakikita ko ngayon sinasabing tumaba daw ako. Pic ko to kahapon. Totoo ba?

Ito pic namin ni Gerry kanina after nung misa sa BNP. Ito ang unang litrato namin mula ng bumalik ako galing Australia.

May kwento sakin si Gerry dati. Sabi niya may isang siga daw dito samin na binully-bully siya nung bata pa siya. Pero ngayon daw ng nakita niya, mas matangkad pa daw siya dun sa bully. Nakakatawa diba?

Parang kailan lang, ang liliit naming mga bata. Lumaki kaming magkasama sa Banal na Puso Chapel bilang mga sacristans. Naalala ko din dati, nagaway kami dahil sa isang badminton racket. Nagsumbong pa nga siya sa head nung Chapel. Tapos hinabol ko siya sa Filinvest Road para awayin dahil sumbungero siya. Mortal
enemy kaming dalawa. :) Nagsasarahan pa kami ng pinto sa chapel, yung tipong ila-lock namin ang isa't isa sa loob. O diba. Ang lala namin magaway. Nagkabati kami nung araw ng kumpil niya. Inimbitahan niya pa akong kumain sa house nila, pero dahil fresh from away, nahiya akong pumunta.

From then on, naging mabuti kaming magkaibigan. At magkasamang nag-grow sa aming relasyon kay Lord (hanggang ngayon). Ang maganda, tanggap namin ang imperfections ng isa't isa, at kahit dumadaan pa din kami sa mga matitinding krisis ng pagkakaibigan, hindi pa din kami bumibitaw. Mahal pa din namin ang isa't isa bilang magkapatid ang matalik na magkaibigan.

So yun nga.. Tumaba ba ako?

Peace for Everyone

2008-08-15T09:24:00.000+08:00

Peace starts from within. Peace starts when we will to be at peace. Peace begins when we choose to be at peace. Peace exists when there is a complete and honest self-forgiveness and forgiveness of others. Peace is the presence of something we desire. Peace is the presence of the desire we don't recognize. The desire is hidden, the desire is God.

Where there is God, there is peace. Where the Lord is, there is happiness. Gentleness comes with the Presence of the Lord. Innocence and childlike contentment comes from where the Lord resides. What can it give to us if we offer our hearts to the Lord? If He dwells in our hearts, imagine the peace we could have!

He is our refuge, and may we be His dwelling place.

Peace before us, peace behind us
Peace under our feet.
Peace within us, peace over us
Let all around us be peace

Love before us, love behind us
Love under our feet.
Love within us, love over us
Let all around us be love

Light before us, light behind us
Light under our feet.
Light within us, Light over us
Let all around us be Light

Christ before us, Christ behind us
Christ under our feet.
Christ within us, Christ over us
Let all around us be Christ

Peace before us, peace behind us
Peace under our feet.
Peace within us, peace over us
Let all around us be peace

Let all around us be peace...

Hope for the Flowers

2008-08-13T13:58:00.000+08:00

St. Therese of Lisieux has described each human being as a unique flower in the garden of God. She had learned from her experiences as a child that each one of us is a uniquely existing flower that pleases God in the same unique way. She had learned that the diversity of the flowers makes the garden of God very beautiful.

I agree with St. Therese. Each one of us is a beautiful creation. The lilies, violets, roses and carnations of this earth pleases our Creator so much. Truly, He cares for us as a gardener waters the flowers of the garden everyday. He makes sure that we receive the sunlight we needed, and He protects us from the strong winds and heavy rains whenever they come.

However, putting aside the metaphorical side of this topic, one would ask, "How could I be a flower when I know that I am a sinner, and imperfect human being and a very unholy man? I cannot be a flower." And yes, going to the reality of this world, it can be seen that there are too much bad things that are existing because of the wickedness of man: violence, poverty, etc. Because of this, the image of man as a flower in God's garden seems to be out of reality, an illusion. But I could hear St. Therese brushing aside this idea and insisting that: "We are flowers of God! Beautiful flowers indeed!"

Many people give up in this world. Many people now are eaten up by the idea that they are too evil for God, too unholy to be loved by God and too little to be noticed by God. They use these lies as a veil to hide themselves from God's mercy and love in order to go in the easy way that this world offers: money, addiction, sex, relationships, etc. They refuse to find life in God and chooses to find life in the ever rotting foundations anything in the world can offer.

They fail to notice that the veil they are wearing is a veil of lies. Upon comparing themselves to others who are "more" kind and "more" holy than they are, they have created a strong veil to cover their eyes and minds to what the truth really is. They have started to compare the incomparable beauty of a lily to a daisy. This is dangerous, because it might lead to death.

The gardener takes care most of those flowers that are weakening. He pays more attention to those flowers that needs more sunshine, more watering and more protection. The gardener knows each and every one of his flowers and he knows which needs what. However, he notices that the more He showers life to a withering flower, the more the flower resists. The flower has veiled itself from the graces of love and mercy which the Caretaker gives him. The flower fails to recognize that never has the Gardener abandoned him. He refuses to accept that the Gardener stayed and wanted to give him what he needed to stay alive.

If this continues, the flower will eventually die. The faithful gardener will weep, and bury the flower under the earth, never to be seen by Him again. Many flowers had shared the same fate because they veiled their petals and roots from the life that the Gardener showers them.

But then there is hope! The gardener has become a flower also. He did that in order to communicate well to the flowers the real love that the Gardener has for each of the flower. No amount of sin or rottenness could separate the flowers from the love of the Gardener. The more the flower is weakened, the more the Gardener is there to sustain the flower!

The Gardener who became a flower is Jesus. He helps us to take off the veil of lies that keeps us from recognizing the love of God. He brings us to the waters of life that only He Himself, God, could give. Through Him, through the truth of God's love, we are made worthy and made ever beautiful in the Garden of Heaven that is God's. This is a garden full of flowers that give pleasure and delight to the loving Gardener--God.

Interestingly, I am back.

It's been a long time since I last shared something in my blog. A blog that is deprived of updates is good as gone. I would like to apologize to my readers (if ever i have them) for being so silent this past month. Just like what Gerald keeps telling me, it's hard to share when many things had happened to you, you wouldn't know where to start.

But I'd like to start by saying that, I saw the Pope.

Pope Benedict XVI in his white and red robes was waving at me at the boat-a-cade upon his arrival to Barangaroo, Sydney where thousands of pilgrims were waiting for him last July 17, 2008. Prior to that day, on the night of July 16, one of the boat-a-cade crew asked our group to ride one of the boats to stand as guard of honor to the Pope's Boat because they needed some Filipinos. Who are we to say no? We said YES with twinkling eyes and flashing smiles. YES, we are on the boat beside the Pope's boat on his arrival at Barangaroo!!!!!! And I was the Philippine Flag bearer! Proud to be!

I didn't have a picture of him on the boat but this is me on our boat as we pass under the Harbour Bridge. I'm the flag bearer.

The next time I saw him close was before the final mass at Randwick Racecourse. He was 10-15 meters away from me and I was able to take a picture of him in his Pope's Mobile.

Pity he had his back on me when he passed by J1!

Next, I'd like to say I met a very very very huge number of young people like me-- JESUS ENTHUSIASTS. Gosh, I never realized how lame I am as a Jesus Enthusiast until I met those people from all over the world!

Everybody was singing Jesus' name boldly on the streets. Everybody's shouting how much they love and want Jesus on the Sydney Streets, trains and parks. Everywhere you turn to there'll be someone blatantly showing how much they love Jesus. That event convinced me very well that there is hope. Too many people loves Jesus, it can't be helped! My heart made it's decision, I will share Jesus' love and made Him known to people no matter what. WE LOVE JESUS!!!!

(Ikaw! Mahal ka ni Hesus! Huwag nang magalinlangan pa!)

Lastly, I'd like to say that.... I'll be on the next World Youth Day in Madrid, Spain and I invite you to go there also on 2011! I tell you, it is worth everything, even a semester off school!

AAARRRRGHHH!!! There are too many things to share and too many things to say! YEAH!!!! I LOVE JESUS!!!!!!

I'll stop here for now!

Sa tingin ko lam niyo naman na yung nangyayari sa QueSci ngayon. Nabasa ko yun sa isang message sa Yahoo Groups ng Avo4 '06. Kung totoo lahat ng nandun, sa tingin ko, hindi talaga maganda ang mga nangyayari.

YunG electives nakakagulat. Di ba nasa Curriculum ng Science High Schools yon? Hindi siya basta basta pwedeng alisin unless utos ng nakakataas. Pwede daw idemanda yung ganun sabi ng ate kong guro.

Nagulat na ako sa news ng electives, pero nakakasira ng bait yung balita tungkol kay Sir Toledo, Sir San Diego, at yung ipinalit kay Sir San Diego. Ano ba. NAkakapanlambot naman yata yan.

Alam ko din ang hirap kapag sabay sabay ang break ng lahat. PUNUAN ANG CANTEEN!!

Nagaala-Umbridge ang Principal. Goodness Gracious. Kung hindi siguro to aagapan ay hindi malayong sasadsad sa lupa ang QueSci.

I had in mind the incident yesterday at Ever Gotesco where I wandered around the mall wearing rags so I made sure I am going to wear something nice today. I went to the 10 am Charismatic Mass at St.Benedicts wearing really really nice clothes.

However, as I walked home after the mass, my umbrella was broken by the violent winds and heavy rainpour.

I reached our house soaking wet.

Retrosexual Me

2008-06-21T18:11:00.000+08:00

retrosexual (ret.roh.SEK.shoo.ul) n. A man with an undeveloped aesthetic sense who spends as little time and money as possible on his appearance and lifestyle (www.wordspy.com).

I was lying down on my bed this afternoon planning to take a short siesta when Jozreel, the younger borther of Ate Jobelle, called me through landline. He told me that he was instructed by his sister to give me a ring and ask me to go their house immediately. I did not ask 'why' because I got a text from Ate Jobelle earlier this day that we will have to prepare some sandwiches for tomorrow's general assembly of all the mass goers at our chapel.

I brushed aside the idea of taking a nap, combed my hair a bit and went off to Ate Jobelle's house. I'm wearing house clothes, and when I say house clothes, it means clothes that are only acceptable inside the house (Do I need to expound it?). We will only be preparing sandwiches after all, I don't need to wear a tuxedo. All I have to do there is clean my hands, finish all the sandwiches and go home.

However when I got there, Ate Jobelle is ready to go somewhere. She's fresh from the bath. I was surprised to saw my Ninang Sallie (The one who is behind all the preparations for the assembly) there beside her. I needn't ask where we are supposed to go, because they already told me when they saw me "Punta tayo supermarket. Bili ng lahat ng kailangan. Bilis, marami pang gagawin."

What else can I do? Twenty minutes later I found myself walking around Ever Gotesco's supermarket wearing a rag shirt and a broken short. And because I am with two ladies, I am the one pushing the huge cart around. Did I need a "HouseBoy Ako" sign around my neck?

Say it. I'm so retrosexual.

baby don't be scared
of the things that could 
go wrong along your way
you'll get by with a smile
you can't win at everythin
but you can try
baby you don't have to worry
coz there ain't no need to hurry
no one every said there'll be
an easy way
when they're closin 
all their doors
and they don't want you anymore
it sounds funny but i'll say
it anyway
girl i'll stay 
through the bad times
even if i have 
to fetch you everyday
you'll get by if you smile
you can never be 
too happy in this life

refrain:
in a world where everybody hates
a happy endin story
it's a wonder love 
can make the world go round
but don't let them 
bring you down
and turn your face into a frown
you'll get along 
with a little prayer
and a song

let me hear you sing it
repeat refrain
lift your head
baby don't be scared
of the things that 
could go wrong
along your way
you'll get by with a smile
now it's time to kiss away
those tears goodbye
let me hear you sing it
if you smile

--I love this song. :D

Learn to Forgive

2008-06-19T07:09:00.000+08:00

Forgiveness is the healer of relationships. It heals both the person who forgives and the other who is forgiven. If you forgive, you have nothing to lose. If you do not forgive, you lose everything.

1. Aim for the ideal. The ultimate test of forgiveness is when you do good to someone who has hurt you.

2. Forgive someone out of an innate feeling of goodness, not out of fear of divine punishment or out of obligation.

3. Forgiving, however, does not mean that you allow yourself to be abused. Forgiveness goes hand-in-hand with a sense of justice..

4. Forgiveness can reduce or even end the pain. When pain does not go away, there should be no righteous desire to inflict pain in return. That does not really bring peace.

5. Forgiveness goes hand-in hand with repentance. The offender should also make amends in the spirit of justice.

6. To refuse to forgive someone allows that person to continue to hurt you.

For my Papa I always yearned to see and hug, and for my Tatay I always loved...

What Matters Most (Kenny Rankin)

It's not how long we held each other's hand. What matters is how well we loved each other. It's not how far we travelled on our way, but what we found to stay. It's not the spring you see, but all the shades of green.

It's not how long I held you in my arms, What matters is how sweet the years together. It's not how many summertimes we had to give to fall, the early morning smiles we tearfully recall. What matters most is that we loved at all.

What matters most is that we loved at all...

These days I am so preoccupied with thoughts of World Youth Day. I can't blame myself, since I don't have any other things to fill my head now. I did not enroll this semester. The uNiversity has granted me a leave of absence just yesterday and DOST has permitted me to leave the country about three or four weeks ago. All I do now are house chores, or any other things my mom or any other people would ask me to do. I also find time now to do things that I cannot do because of schoolworks, like going to mass everyday and finishing some of the books I bought a few months ago.

It feels a little bit lonely though, to think that my classmates are taking subjects without me. They will be advanced now by one semester. If only there was a way to be able to catch up in Organic and Physical Chem lab after one month of absence, then I won't have any problem. But then again, I think I may be overlooking some precious reasons behind everything. God has better plans for me. And this trip to WYD may help me discover a glimpse of those plans. One semester off, and I believe WYD is worth the sacrifice.

At the moment I am slowly learning to grow up a little bit. (Haha). I always forget that I am already 18. I heard one of my friends said once that growing up is a process, and part of the process is learning from one's mistakes. Stopping to grow up is a no-no, but forcing it to happen is equally destructive. I am doing it little by little, slowly reflecting on things that had happened beginning with some events that happened at the start of this year. After six months, I finally have the time now to reflect.

Oh well. I may be getting a little bit off-shore. I ask for your prayers, since I cannot really do this on my own.

I Love Math

2008-05-27T10:28:00.000+08:00

Beauty of Mathematics !!!!!!!

1 x 8 + 1 = 9
12 x 8 + 2 = 98
123 x 8 + 3 = 987
1234 x 8 + 4 = 9876
12345 x 8 + 5 = 98765
123456 x 8 + 6 = 987654
1234567 x 8 + 7 = 9876543
12345678 x 8 + 8 = 98765432
123456789 x 8 + 9 = 987654321

1 x 9 + 2 = 11
12 x 9 + 3 = 111
123 x 9 + 4 = 1111
1234 x 9 + 5 = 11111
12345 x 9 + 6 = 111111
123456 x 9 + 7 = 1111111
1234567 x 9 + 8 = 11111111
12345678 x 9 + 9 = 111111111
123456789 x 9 +10= 1111111111

9 x 9 + 7 = 88
98 x 9 + 6 = 888
987 x 9 + 5 = 8888
9876 x 9 + 4 = 88888
98765 x 9 + 3 = 888888
987654 x 9 + 2 = 8888888
9876543 x 9 + 1 = 88888888
98765432 x 9 + 0 = 888888888

Brilliant, isn't it?

And look at this symmetry:

1 x 1 = 1
11 x 11 = 121
111 x 111 = 12321
1111 x 1111 = 1234321
11111 x 11111 = 123454321
111111 x 111111 = 12345654321
1111111 x 1111111 = 1234567654321
11111111 x 11111111 = 123456787654321
111111111 x 111111111 = 12345678987654321

Now, take a look at this...

101%

From a strictly mathematical viewpoint:

What Equals 100%?
What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?

Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?

We have all been in situations where someone wants you to
GIVE OVER 100%.

How about ACHIEVING 101%?

What equals 100% in life?

Here's a little mathematical formula that might help
answer these questions:

If:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

Is represented as:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.

If:

H-A-R-D-W-O- R- K

8+1+18+4+23+ 15+18+11 = 98%

And:

K-N-O-W-L-E- D-G-E

11+14+15+23+ 12+5+4+7+ 5 = 96%

But:

A-T-T-I-T-U- D-E

1+20+20+9+20+ 21+4+5 = 100%

THEN, look how far the love of God will take you:

L-O-V-E-O-F- G-O-D

12+15+22+5+15+ 6+7+15+4 = 101%

Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that:

While Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will
get you there, It's the Love of God that will put you over the top!

Have a nice day & God bless!!

This is a forwarded message in my Yahoo Inbox (from my idol, Atty Ella).

I haven't told you guys that I now passed my Math 55 Take 2, with a grade of 1.5. Phew! From my first (ever) failing grade of 5 rose my first (ever!) line of 1 grade in Math.

Truly, while hard work and knowledge got me close and attitude got me there, the LOVE OF GOD brought me to the toP! WORLD YOUTH DAY, HERE I COME!!!!

Pupunta ako sa World Youth Day sa Australia

2008-05-21T08:25:00.000+08:00

Sa lahat ng Hindi pa nakakaalam at nagtatampo dahil hindi ko pa nasabi sa kanila... :)

Pupunta ako sa Australia sa July 8.

Aatend ako ng World Youth Day. Isang buwan ako mawawala.

Tinanong ako ni Gerald, ang haba naman ng "DAY" na yon.. isang buwan! Well.. kasi... may pre-world Youth day at Post World Youth day pang aatendan ang pilgrims. :D Nag LOA ako ng isang sem. Dahil sa isang buwan, marami na akong lab experiments na mamimiss at hindi na kayang habulin. medyo crucial ang stage na ito sa buhay ko.. mahirap iexplain kung bakit.

Masaya ako at napili akong delegate para sa pagtitipon na ito ng lahat ng Catholic Youth sa buong mundo. Pinasimulan ito ni Pope John Paul II. Ang World Youth Day ay may layunging papagalabin ang buong mundo sa pagibig ng Panginoon. Ang mga aatend nito ay para bang sisindi ng apoy sa bonfire at dadalhin yung apoy sa bansang pinanggalignan nila. Yun ang rough kong description sa event. nagsimula ito noong 1984. Natala ang World Youth Day Manila noong 1995 na may pinakmaraming attendees! :D

In 1984, Pope John Paul II announced 1985 as a Jubilee year for the Catholic Church. In an effort to recognize the growing youth of the Church, he invited them from around the world to travel to Rome for Palm Sunday. He declared that day to be the first World Youth Day, and that the youth should go back to their home towns and communities and celebrate their new-found fellowship and continue the tradition for each year to follow.
(http://iml.jou.ufl.edu)

Anyway... Im looking forward sa event na ito. Sa tingin ko kasi malaki ang matutulong nito sa pagtuklas ko sa aking ever-exciting na Panginoon, at maggrow pa ako in deeper relationship with him.

Sa ngayon.. Approved na visa naming lahat na delegates from our parish. Sa BNP pipol, kasama ko si PAtrick, Ate Jobelle, Ate Malou at Kuya JAson. Hinihingi po namin ang prayers niyo para sa success ng event na ito...

Mahal Kita Nanay

Ako'y lilipad, sa langit aakyat,
Isisilo kita ng mga bituin.
Buituing nasilo, aking tutuhugin.
Igagawa kita ng kwintas at singsing.
Kwintas at Singsing sayo'y iaalay.
Sabay ang pagwikang "Mahal Kita Nanay."

Wow.

In the middle of the class, my ArtStud professor showed us one little surprising thing:

This is a whole sheet of uncut Real TWENTY PESO BILLS. Thirty two pieces in all. The whole class were amazed. Our cool ArtStud prof (Ms.Sofia Guillermo) was able to obtain one from Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas. She passed it around for everyone to see and touch for themselves.

I couldn't believe it's a whole three-fourths manila paper-sized sheet of unseparated twenty peso bills as I stared at it from afar as Ms. Guillermo held it. I needed to touch it (and smell it) to judge its authenticity. Well. I got the chance to hold it so close and grab a photo of it with my camera. :)

Imagine... Six Hundred Forty Pesos in one big sheet. Scissors please!
