Just my meek thoughts… (Mnl Phil Hostage taking)

To the world:

I just hope that the world especially Hong Kong Nationals will open their hearts and mind that not all Filipinos are alike.

To all Filipinos:

This may serve as a lesson to us especially to those who are in the position   the law officers, the senate, the president to every human being to be righteous to their fellows.  Give justice... not just to the victims of the hostage taking (the hostage taker as well is a victim too) and to that event, but in every situation that a single Filipino has.

It is nice to live a life in peace, love and harmony, but one person’s greediness ruins the pure intentions of many.  Life is too short and dignity is precious.  We must value it!

I Wrote this for You

Masterpieces’ aren’t new
Still, I wrote this for you
To unleash this feeling in me
That I think I would never be

Everything is wrong, I know
Still I’m here with you
I never thought of this moment to happen
Mix emotions are on my whole being

I am grateful to God for letting our destiny convene
Though I am confused and feeling insane
One thing I am sure of this moment
I am happy being with you

Cultivating Healthy Relationship

I woke up early this morning with a doubtful heart, if I were to pursue my application as a worker in one of our church’s ministry. I was not that determine to join the project because of my schedule, but still I just let my self to go with the flow with an unknown force. I took a bath, prepare myself and went to the church. With an application letter on my hand, I uttered a prayer to God that He may guide me for this challenge. As I gave my application to the project director, I told her about my other activities during weekends. We did an arrangement to my schedule and I was accepted in the project immediately.

As part of the ministry activities, every Friday, there is a short meditation and staff meeting. Today the meditation was given by one of our church pastor, entitled “Cultivating Healthy Relationship”.

Here is the outline of the three key points on how to cultivate a healthy relationship:

1. Cultivating a healthy relationship takes honesty.

“An honest answer is like a kiss on a lips” – Proverbs 24:26

2. Cultivating a healthy relationship takes humility.

“Young man, in the same way be submissive to those who are older. All of you clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, “God opposes the crowd but gives grace to the humble.” – 1 Peter 5:5

• Pride build walls, but humility builds bridges.

How to achieve humility?

 Admitting our own weaknesses.
 Being patient with others weaknesses.
 Be open to correction.
 Appreciate Others.

3. Cultivating a healthy relationship takes courtesy.

“A perverse man stirs up dissension, a gossip separates close friends. – Proverbs 16:28

“Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves.” – Romans 12:10

Being part of a certain group, in our family, or in a company where we work, at school, honesty, humility and courtesy is very important, for us to be fruitful in everything we do.

Thank you for reading and God bless you!

My Mother’s YM, FB, SKYPE’s Shout out!

As I sat down in my porch looking at nowhere, I suddenly remember a quote that says “Be Positive in this Negative World”. A flashback of my mother’s face absorbed my imagination, a face that shows hope, encouragement, inspiration, faith and love, a face that I cannot forget.  Economic crisis, miles and ambition that separated us, are not the reason to stop her in showing her love to us. Despite of our situation she still manages to inspire us.

“Be Positive in this Negative World “, is my mother’s shout out in Facebook, YM and Skype.  As I came back to reality I realized that I’ve been drowned by my predicament, not realizing that it greatly affects my whole being.  I’ve been always responding my problems negatively. That was my greatest mistake! From that thought I came to grasp that it’s neither the situation nor the environment that causes us to go astray, it’s on how we respond to it.
