2nd Word

Reflections on lenten season are really special, and solemn. I have been listening to recollections, participating in “Alay Lakad”, doing the statios of the cross for 5 years now, and doing fasting/abstinence, and even if I am doing the same things every year, the lessons or message of the Lord every year is always different.

This year, I am stricken by one character this lenten season, and this is the criminal on the cross. Some say that he is the most blessed man on earth for he received the Kingdom of Heaven on earth..

“He is the only man canonized while he is alive”
- Bo Sanchez

He received it because he asked for it:
“Jesus, remember me when you go to Your kingdom.”
And Jesus told him, “Today, you will be with me in paradise.”

Wow! the criminal is the best thief for he even stole heaven, he got heaven from that moment. In my reflection, I longed for my God to tell me those words, that I will be with Him. Then, I realized that I should be like the criminal on the cross, that we should always ask for forgiveness, ask for His kingdom, always remember Him. We must always be humble. humble enough to know that we are not great, humble enough to know that we need to be forgiven for our flaws and we need to forgive also. We need to be humble and stay empty so there will be a place for God in our hearts.

“Father, please remember us when You go to Your Kingdom.”

for that, may God be praised!

Kulot

Before I begin to blog again, I will do some request blogs. As a practice and just for fun!

This entry goes to Dawn.

Well, I’ve known Dawn for so long now (maybe a decade or more), for we are schoolmates (but never classmates) since elementary school and ’til now, we are still friends. I will write everything I know about her for this blog is all about her.

First, Dawn is the curly girl! I believe she is known as that curly girl (well for me that is who she is), that’s why the title of this entry is “kulot”. I remember her running away when someone tries to remove her ponytail that she has for forever! Aside from being curly, Dawn is really a nice girl. I’ve known her for having been in a large group/circle of friends.

As what I’ve seen in her facebook profile, Dawn is a good photographer. She is really passionate on whatever she’s in to. And that could be her strength and weakness as well. and lastly, Dawn has one of the creepiest/funniest/weirdest/happiest  laugh ever! haha! one of the best things you won’t forget about her.

Reoccurence.

oh I’ve checked my wordpress account again. obviously because I want to blog again. And be back for good! So the last time I blogged was last September 2012. Oh so many things have happened to me since then that I would share and blog. An accomplishment in my studies and my struggles now, a beautiful lovelife I am having, a change in service in YFC and many more realizations and things I learned I have kept for myself for the last 5 months. I’m going to blog all about this for the days to come. will gather and arrange all my thoughts. I am excited for  this!? isn’t it obvious? yay! yay! yay! missed reading blogs and to blog too.

A realization about evangilazation

last weekend, Me and my mom talked to my sister who is in Singapore. In our conversation, she had told us that there’s this guy friend of her that is impressed on the way how my sister pray. Then we told her that maybe, that guy is her mission. to evangelize that guy.

then she said that she doesn’t want to “push” the guy, to a religion/to be evangelized… That struck me, I was like that too, to other people.

So here is what i realized, in evangelizing, we don’t push people to do things to know Christ. We “pull” them to Christ by showing our Christ like attitudes to everyone around us.

And Imma try this new attitude in my mission in serving Him.

God Bless.

Movie Review: The Hunger Games Movie

Disclaimer: I’m not a professional movie critique. 

As a reader of the series and a big fan of it. I’m satisfied with the film, after waiting for so long for this movie, It is worth the wait. Good Casting. The artists have portrayed their roles very well. especially the lead, Peeta and Katniss. Excellent Scoring. You would really feel the intensity of the moment of the scenes. Good flow on the story line. Since I’ve read the book, I already know the story but the film still made me thrilled on what’s going to happen. Good visual effects. We all know that this is in the futuristic setting and you would feel that it is really in the future. Changes from the book through the film. This is the most crucial part of the film where there are many added and deleted parts from the book. Based on my assessment, it still gave justice to the story. Mostly because this is for the non readers. I watched this film with my sister who is a non reader and she enjoyed and understood the film so much.

I give this a 9 out of 10. I’M A FAN! can’t wait for the sequel

Seriously?!

yung dapat hindi naman traffic, nagtatraffic. yung mga madalas traffic, lalong nagtatraffic. nakakapagtaka diba?

ang galing lang na sabay sabay ang mga hukay, ang constructions at kung ano ano pang proyekto. bakit kaya?? malamang, eleksyon next year. welcome to the Philippines. kung saan ang unlad unlad.. pag election period.

sana tayong mga voters/mamamayan, wag mabilib kung may napapagawang nagagandang project ang mga magagaling nating mga leaders, kasi trabaho nila yun at DAPAT TALAGA NILANG GAWIN ANG MGA YUN. They should not credit themselves.

So, sa mga nangyayari, asaan ang pagbabago? Sana’y maging matalino na tayo, asa’tin ang totoong kapangyarihan. Yung nahsabi ngang tuwid na daan, eh tuwid na daan ata para sa sarili niya, yung tayo daw ang boss niya eh di ko naman naramdamang nging boss ako, mas madalas pa din tumaas ang binibili ko kaysa sa sweldo ko. lalala lang..

palagi na lang ba ganito? :/

ang entry na ito ay nabuo lang sa pagkainis ko sa biyahe kasi kahit saan ka magdaan ay makitid at traffic dahil sa mga ginagawa sa daan. WOW lang sa sabay sabay naman…

We wish for change, let us change ourselves first. Maging wise. SERYOSO!

Aklan is God’s plan

 

This photo was taken last CFC Anniversary (June 2011). And that was me, claiming that I’ll go to Aklan for ILC 2012. seen on:

I really don’t know if I could go to ILC Aklan that time. All I know is I want to go there. It is always in my prayers. And, our God is really a generous God because he provided for my reg and fare to Aklan (but I still don’t have a plan, on a way back home). To be in Aklan is one of God’s great plan for me this year. I’ll claim it til it’s April 12!
