I am a Martha

Read Bo's article on two of the famous women in the Bible.
And I agree with him  that the story somewhat placed the Martha's into bad light...


Martha is okay.
Mary is okay.

What makes it 'wrong' is when we compare...

So, please...
enough resistance...let's try acceptance...
after acceptance comes contentment and joy.

Shall we?

unfair skin

Kausap ko si Gina...
Update-update tungkol sa mga tao-tao sa paligid...


Ako:
"Nakita ko pics ni ________ sa FB...dalaga na!"
"At nakita ko rin si_____, hindi na siya cute...buti pa nung bata siya..."
"Mas maganda na si ____ lalo sa kanya..."

Siya:
"Oo nga...si UNFAIR SKIN kasi yun, eh..."
Waaaahhhh...
ayos sa vocabulary... unfair skin talaga....
nyahahahahahah...taba ng utak!

flee-free

somtimes, we need to flee to be free.

umasa - magtiwala

Ang umasa ay isang positibong salita... kung tutuusin tayo ay nabubuhay sa pag-asa. Ngunit ang pag-asa ay may kalakip na tiwala dahil aasa ka lang sa pinagkakatiwalaan mo. Kaya di masama umasa ng sobra... ang kailangan ingatan ay ang sobrang pagtitiwala.

fight or flight ?

from  a tumblr page

what day is today?

Last household leaders'f orum  for our chapter, Bhe asked everyone to brag about the people around them...
Sempre wasn't really able to brag about 'them...'

Next month would mark my 'anniversary' and I praise God that it's all part of the past...
Screeechhhh...i am  here to brag, remember, Cheche?!

I want to brag about my friends...real, good friends.

I want to brag about Chrissy - for having the strength and energy to 'fight' with me...
Other people would simply shrug their shoulders off when some friends go astray, even argue, it's their life, let them...
Thank you for taking 'responsibility' for my life... Thank you for making my life a problem of yours...hahahahahha!
If not for those 'fights' and loving arguments that we had...nah!  i don't want to think otherwise because as they say, there are no, 'what if's'  only thank God, it happened... thank God, Chrissy reacted that way.

I want to brag about Gracie - for having the commitment to constantly check on me, as in ng sobrnag dalas...
Nagtataka pa siya kumbakit lagi niya ako'ng naabutan umiiyak...hindi ako madalas umiiyak (wushu!) madalas ka lang tumatawag...har! har! har!  Seriously, after being told to stay away, other people would obligingly do that... but she didn't... She saw something and she held on to that something and believed in it... (Gosh! me nakikita siyang hindi natin nakikita?!) 

Ang hirap gumawa ng seryosong blog... hehehehehe!  Tawanan  natin kasi ayokong maiyak...aaaaayyyyy...

I want to brag about Jeanette - for having the 'injurance' este endurance to listen...how'd they use the word painstakingly?  thoroughly listening...offering her time till the wee hours, odd hours, any hour... astig!  Eto lang, pasalamat ka nakikinig siya...kasi matakot ka kapag nagsalita na siya...nyahahahaha... inde...you'll be blessed with credible words of advice, you know, why?  Because she listened, really listened first.  Kaya you know she gathered her advice and tailored it from what she heard and 'analyzed' from  you...

I want to brag about Bhe - naks! my messenger, my encourager, and my 'stopper' ...parang sa pintuan lang...stopper (saka yung nilalagay sa brandy, stopper...lumabas din ang totoo)  the very same purpose the stopper works for a bottle of brandy... for it not to pour itself out all the way...draining the bottle in no time. You know she'd pray for you from  the messages she's receiving from  God.  and when you look back to those times I felt I was understood, I was given a leeway, trying not to pressure you into anything; I knew then she was silently being a friend. haaaayyyy...

I want to brag about my Gina Baby - ahemmm...ahemmm.... while I was reflecting this morning...I realized a lot of  'good things' Gina is made up of.  She is my example of a forgiving, understanding, loving, and forgetting...forgetful person.  She may tell you she's barricaded herself from  being hurt...but that ain't true.  Because the gem  in her  would know how to love and forget what was done before...and the jewel inate in her would know how to forgive when she's been hurt again...and forget... Thank you for being the best version of you...  I am  just so lucky that although I met you 'late' I still got to spend more years with you (wala kang choice) kaya I can brag being with you longer than you are with Buddy or Bibe, Lalabs, Medai, Rona...or anyone amongst our friends who would love to be with you.

I want to brag about my ates -  aaayyyyy... for trying their very best to understand...to endure the pain of  feeling that they're simply watching without being able to do anything constructive...in reality, that's not the case... watching and letting go of the rein is a 'destructive - constructive' thing to do... you allowed me to break so that I can be whole...you allowed me to be burned so that when I come out of the fireplace, I'm  shining because of the glaze... wahhhhh....ceramics pa rin?!

And to Leila - thank you for having the courage to leave.  For realizing that you have to love yourself first before serving other people.  For realizing that if it's not making you a better person, then flee with all your might.  Thanks for fleeing...it sounds like freeing... We may sometimes construe it as fleeing but in fact, fleeing may just be a reaction because we want to be free...

Cheche's official day of friendship ba ngayon? Anuver...  Dapat mas madalas ganito ang gising, Lord ha...
Thank You, Lord for being a patient God...I still remmeber my prayer, even when I do not trust yet...even when I do not trust still...I love You, po...thank You, thank You po...

pag-ibig ko

busy ba ? sana okay ka lang. i wud simply hope na kahit wala kang pramdam, ok ka. hindi ka naaksidente, nagkakaskit,umiiyak...pero minsan pala it helps cement that thinking by getting a response from  time to time...miss you!

Sarap ng almusal ko ngayon, Lord... salamat po...

greatness

Son of God, You are God’s humble Servant, too. Help me to become like You. May I always find my joy in serving others as I would serve You. Correct my wrong views on greatness. Let me be great only in Your eyes. Amen.

Please, Lord...correct my views...bless my heart that it will only contain the definition of 'greatness' according to your standards.  Thank You.

YOU

Remember:
You are beautiful.  You are special.  You ahve your own core gifts.  And most especially You are loved by God.

So stop searching and asking for 'constant' affirmation...
It weakens your character.  It diminishes your spirit.  It makes you cling and wait for alms...

Again... You are loved by God.  That alone is more than enuf!

choosy. choosing. choose. chose.

Oftentimes, we are like the two disciples in today’s Gospel who seem to be walking and talking with Jesus but are actually not listening to Him at all. They want the places of honor but are not willing to pay the price.


During prayer meetings, we sing that we want to give Him our hearts and souls but when the love offering basket is passed around, we can’t even give the Lord more than our smallest bill. We only want to give our heart and soul but not our money. Or, maybe while we are deeply worshiping and praying, we tell the Lord to have His way with us. We pray, “Speak Lord, Your servant is listening.” The Lord responds by whispering to our heart to give up a relationship that is not pleasing to Him. Suddenly, our heart becomes “deaf.”

When we enter into a relationship with God, we cannot choose what part we want to give or what part we want to take. We cannot love God without serving Him and we cannot choose how we want to serve Him. Definitely we can choose how we want to serve but that is not real love. Out of His great love for us, God gave us His very best… His only Son. Don’t you think it’s time we also give our very best to Him?Ronna Ledesma (ronnaledesma@ email.com)

REFLECTION:
If God will call us now, will He hear, “The number you are calling is not yet in service”?

Lord, only by Your grace will we be able to follow You.

----
I especially love this line:
We cannot love God without serving Him and we cannot choose how we want to serve Him.

Don't 'choose' to choose...but choose to simply serve...

unwanted finished product

picked up my ceramics the other day...
when i saw the finished products... ugh!
i felt like i didn't want to bring it home...
i don't even want to admit i was the one who painted it...
haaayyyy.... 
i can hear myself  saying...trying hard to be artistic kasi...
well, in fact, i could simply shrug it off because i enjoyed the process of painting it, anyway...
never minding the outcome...

just this morning, while doing my wide-awake daydreaming...
i thought of the painting process as our life...
what if ...
what if  the way we want to paint it is the way we want to live our lives...
when you enter cafe ceramique, their crew will be more than willing to assist you and advise you on how to navigate through the colors, techniques, stamps, etc.
but brushing off their advices, I simply went on my way.
what I thought would come out nice.
So, a dab of paint there, a dash of  stamp here.
a sweep of the brush on that corner, engrave a word on that side...
i was enjoying painting the ceramic.

what if...
we simply went on with our lives...
and did not listen to Him...
anymore...
because my first ceramic painting (a crown design)
went well...
i thought i'll do just fine the second time

in the end...
after the ceramic has been glazed...

it cannot be undone anymore...

what we have done with our lives, will forever be etched, painted, scribbled on the ceramic of our life...

Whew!

Great thing, that my life is not as boxed as the ceramic painting...
so is my God....

that eventhough most of the time, we would want to go on our way...
He will be there to correct some of our water color errors with just a wet sponge.
that He will not let the ceramic be burnt without Him  doing a few tweaks here and there...
(by the way, Cafe Ceramique offers that free of charge!)
and even if sometimes we feel that the outcome is so ghastly ugly (argh!), God doesn't look through our eyes...
but through His own eyes of love and mercy...
believing that every ceramic is special, handcrafted and unique in its own way.
the same treatment that He is giving to each of us.
the kind of love patented for every person.

thank you for being that kind of God, my God.
hold my hand firmly that I may paint my life with the right kind of strokes, O Lord.
that the colors that I put onto it will only reveal Your glory and nothing else.
Amen.

ifs

Was browsing through my e-bible when I saw this:
Mark 9:23-24
24Jesus said, “If? There are no ‘ifs' among believers. Anything can happen.”

24No sooner were the words out of his mouth than the father cried, “Then I believe. Help me with my doubts!”


Dear Lord,
Help me with my doubts...these I pray...

With cameras getting more high-tech and high-tech than ever...it's a call to be more and more careful...

US travel report cites abusive RP cabbies
05/12/2010 - 10:46 AM

Abusive taxi drivers in the Philippines have gotten the attention of the United States, which warned its nationals Wednesday to take safeguards when riding taxicabs.

In its country-specific information on the Philippines updated Wednesday, the US State Department issued guidelines for its nationals when taking the taxi.
“Do not enter a taxi if it has already accepted another passenger and request that the meter be used. If the driver is unwilling to comply with your requests, please wait for another cab. It is also a good idea to make a mental note of the license plate number should there be a problem," it said.

The problems addressed by the guidelines were similar to those encountered by Filipino commuters, especially during rush hour and peak seasons such as Christmas.

On the other hand, the State Department discouraged US citizens from taking other forms of public transportation, including the Light Rail Transit, jeepneys and buses.

It also urged US citizens to make sure the doors are locked and the windows rolled up when they are driving.
“All other forms of public transportation, such as the light rail system, buses, and ‘jeepneys’ should be avoided for both safety and security reasons," it said.

Crime incidents in urban areas
The State Department said crime is a significant concern in urban areas, with kidnappings and violent assaults occurring in Metro Manila and elsewhere.

It urged US citizens to remain aware of their surroundings and exercise good judgment.
“Reports of confidence games, pickpocketing, internet scams, and credit/ATM card fraud are common. US citizens should be wary of unknown individuals who attempt to befriend them, especially just after arrival in the country. It is best not to accept food, drink, or rides in private vehicles from strangers, even if they appear legitimate," it added.

According to the report, US visitors should also be vigilant when using credit and debit cards.
“One common form of credit/ATM card fraud involves the illicit use of an electronic device to retrieve and record information, including the PIN, from the card’s magnetic strip. The information is then used to make unauthorized purchases. To limit your vulnerability to this scam, never let your card out of your sight. When using an ATM, be aware of your surroundings. Avoid ATM locations in dimly lit areas. Exercise caution when entering your ATM personal identification number (PIN) code, to prevent observance by others. Avoid ATM’s with unusual coverings attached to the card receiver," it added.

It also cited warnings from the Philippine Banking Association about criminals attaching electronic scanners to ATM card receivers, also designed to illicitly retrieve and record information from the credit/debit card’s magnetic strip.
“In many countries around the world, counterfeit and pirated goods are widely available. Transactions involving such products may be illegal under local law. In addition, bringing them back to the United States may result in forfeitures and/or fines," it said.

Meanwhile, the US reiterated its advice against a crowded Philippine road system with many drivers who are “undisciplined."
Also, it noted there have been nine major inter-island ferryboat accidents in the last two years — eight with significant loss of life.

“The safety record is such that US Government employees are advised not to take inter-island ferry boat services unless this is the only means of transportation available. US citizens are advised to avoid overcrowded or unsafe transport and to exercise caution in planning travel by inter-island ferryboats or other public conveyances," it said. — LBG, GMANews.TV

educational pamphlet

was searching through the net for news re any announcements for the new leader of the country when I stumbled on this kulit article.

educational pamphlet for the elections

There are only a few days left until the elections. This means, according to the strict and precisely calculated timetable of our election officials, it is now the perfect moment to conduct an information campaign to tell the public what the elections are all about.

Unfortunately, most of our election officials are preoccupied with more important matters such as arguing with ballot printers, discovering anomalies in the ultraviolet ink, discovering anomalies in the prices of folders, and denying that the elections will fail.
So it's all up to us to spread the word. We have prepared this handy pamphlet that will tell citizens everything they need to know about the coming elections.
PS: printouts of this pamphlet will have a blank page at the back convenient for printing fake psychiatric reports. Ask about our special bulk defamation rates!

and to really cement my decision...
went to the Deleted Items and said 'yes' to fully deleting all contents...

Ceramic Painting Fellowship

09.May.2010.Sunday.

A different kind of fellowship...

Straight from  work, I picked up my dear members...and we trooped to Cafe Ceramique.

They were all delighted to get their hands dirty from painting, mixin'-matchin' of colors, and design stamping....

Excited to pick up the finish product on the 20th...

I hope I'll remember to post the 'fired' ceramics then.

Collide

The dawn is breaking

A light shining through
You're barely waking
And I'm tangled up in you
Yeah


I'm open, you're closed
Where I follow, you'll go
I worry I won't see your face
Light up again


Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills my mind
I somehow find
You and I collide


I'm quiet you know
You make a first impression
I've found I'm scared to know I'm always on your mind


Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the stars refuse to shine
Out of the back you fall in time
I somehow find
You and I collide


Don't stop here
I lost my place
I'm close behind


Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills your mind
You finally find
You and I collide


You finally find
You and I collide


You finally find
You and I collide

A song for mamu.
We were on our way to drop her home...
When we heard this song...collide...

April 23

Thank You for the gift of April 23.


Early Morning Mass.
Braving it through confession.
A wonderful and meaningful prayer time while preparing for my talk.

Dropped by Chapter B1’s Lord’s Day.
Readied myself for yet another piece of the puzzle, giving a talk on Anger.

And then…it’s chillax time!

Tambay sa Virays and Serranos’ place
Super bonding moment with Mamu...precious moments!
Marian-Dingdong Movie, One True Love
Miswa – Breaded Fish Dinner, thanks to Mommy Charms
Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief Movie
Kulitan till the wee hours of morning…

Another winning day…
I praise You for Your gift of weekends…

In search of a song

After accepting the ‘responsibility’ of giving the talk on Anger…
My next stop, look for a fitting song.
I was searching, browsing through my files…couldn’t find any.
I then asked the help of my musically-inclined friends being a musically-declined person myself.
I gave her my description of how the song should be.
I imagined the song with the lyrics crying out to God...
I want the song as being an affirmation ‘from’ God that we are loved, we are beautiful, we are valued…

A friend came back to me and suggested, ‘Through It All.’
It is a beautiful song, yes. So I asked their music ministry to practice it.
I even asked a dear friend to sing it for me on the day of the talk.
But as the talk is nearing...I couldn’t understand a different stirring from within.
The morning before my talk, I went to an early mass. Went back home and prayed. And then I opened the glory book and browsed through each page thoroughly; reviewing and imagining myself singing the lines.

And then I saw it!

Song Of My Soul

Here I am, an empty soul
Walking all alone through my life
Here I am, a lost soul
Looking for a place where I can hide
And find refuge, my long lost peace
and all else that will put my restless soul at ease.

So come my Lord, calm my heart

Pacify the sea that has been tearing me apart
Oh come my Lord, calm my soul
Take me in Your arms and make me whole my Lord

Here I am, still searching for the place
That every person calls home
Hear my prayer, hear my song
For only unto You do I belong

I've searched so hard all my life through
For love that I know I will only find in You

I knew it was this song that I wanted for my talk.
A perfect song for a person crying out to God.
Crying out in anger, in exhaustion, in surrender…
While reading the lyrics and singing the song in my head, I can hear God affirming me. He is saying that He will calm my heart.
He can pacify anything even the turbulent sea within me…

When the moment for the pray over came.
It was like I was serenading Him with a song of surrender.
Here I am, Lord, emptying myself before You.
I only ask of You to pacify the turbulence within.
I surrender. I want You to take control.
And I fully trust You.
Trust that to You I do belong…

Thank You, oh Lord for continuously affirming me of the many purpose why those things happened…
That I may love purely…even without recompense.
All for Your greater glory…

love without recompense

23April2010

I gave a talk on Righteous and Unrighteous Anger.
(As in!  Even i couldn't believe it at frist)
I prayed over the participants.

God’s message while praying over:
My child, if I was trying to remove someone or something from your life, it doesn’t mean that I do not love you. It’s because I am pruning you. I want you to learn how to love. To love freely. And to love purely. Loving without recompense.

Praise be to Your name, oh Lord.

back track

Let’s start to backtrack.

It’s been a while that I was away from the Blogosphere…

Stargate Episode 2

It's more of the night as a whole and not within the premises of Stargate per se.

I am  so overwhelmed with the blessing of friendship...
Our relationship with one another was renewed...
We're starting anew...now with a different perspective...
Minus the mind sets, less of the preconceived notions about 'leading'

Basta...
Can't simply translate into words the wonders dispalyed by last night's revelations.

Realization:
They know deep in their heart Who they belong to...
They may seem to be taking a different route towards reaching Him...
but they know they want to reach Him...
slowly but surely, their baggages little by little are being surrendered to the Lord...
in the end< He will right all wrongs...
A night full of meaning...
praise You, Oh Lord

Stargate Episode 1

Yes, I had 'episodes' with me going to Stargate...

Am  I finally going there to 'heal' my tainted past...
To finally settle it with myself...

A blessed evening it was...
All negative thoughts disappeared.
I simply enjoyed being with the people I was that night...
Not even thinking that long before, I so wanted to go there with 'someone'
It was only now as I was writing that I realized...


Finally I conquered my 'Stargate'
I entered the gate toward the stars...
where a rather dim  sky is fully lit by the twinkling of the stars...
It isn't really dim. now...it is well lit, in fact.

thank You, Papa God...
for leading me to enter the Stargate and remind me that the worst was over....

stargate

Stargate Theme Park - Zabeel Park

Finally, after how many months of  drooling (yuck!) over other peep's Stargate Experience...I made it to the Stargate Galaxy! Wipeee!

Did I enjoy the 'rides?'  Naaahhh...

1st Stop
We went to the Earth's Roller Coaster...Octopus-style pala yung technique niya...
I thought I was gonna throw up...
Verdict : Hindi na ako uulit!

Next Stop
Saturn's 3D Cinema
We asked the crew what's the best movie to watch, we can choose na kasi kami na huling customers for the night.
3D Turtle daw...okay, go!
Verdict : Hindi na rin ako uulit...
Puro underwater scene pala siya... (toinks, hindi mo naisip, eh turtle nga)
I thought I'd faint dahil sa lunod....sensha, partly hydrophobic...

Come to think of it...i did not enjoy any of the rides...
But what made it worth my while...
I spent it with Lanny, Pay, and Ivy...
We were laughing, shouting, teasing and making fun of each other...
The irony of it all, huh...
I realized, when you're in good company...it protects your spirit from  being dampened...
Never mind the rides...deep within you are enjoying the journey!
