Tour to Avilon Zoo:)

Millares Family

This was a family get together before my brother's departure, going back to his work in UAE.
So there, I have taken pictures of animals and, of course, ourselves (though incomplete here).
What's nice here, is that we had a lot of fun in the whole tour we had at the place.

ahihi, next vacation again kuya Jun-Jun:)

God Is Trustworthy

This really enlightened me:) I hope you'll be as well:)
God is the Potter; we are the clay. He's the Shepherd we are the sheep. He is the master; we are the servant. No matter how educated we are, no matter how much power the influence we may think we have, no matter how long we have walked with Him, no matter how significant we may imagine ourselves to be in His plan...none of that qualifies us to grasp the first particle of why He does what He does when He does it and how He chooses to do it..
The amazing things is that even in the midst of disappointment, surprise, and mystery you will discover how very reliable and trustworthy God is--and how secure you are in His hands...Puzzling as the process may be to us, He stays with His plan. There is no need for us to know all the reasons, and He certainly doesn't need to explain Himself. Potters work with the clay, they don't fret over it...or ask permission to remake the clay into whatever they wish.

I've Realized Something

My friend's mom died last week... It has been a hard time for us esp. ky laine...her mom, in which she was so dependent, already gone... Left her and her family.. I sympathize w/ them.. It's not that easy to escape with the deep pain they are having right now... Unfortun8ly, sndli lng kmi nkpg-usp ng frnd q.. knina lang.. l8 p q nkrting s libing.. I've just uttered simple words.."condolences"..then, mya2 "bye"...
i suppose to share some thoughts that would probably lighten up her load...
then, she txtd us, "our life would never b d sme w/o mama"--i've realized something—the importance of my family, particularly my parents..wt will happen to me when it’s they’re turn, *omg* the dependent leonie… blatantly, it will be too emotional…
Apparently, I’m not that affectionate with them, nor saying how much I love them… nevertheless, one thing is sure to me, they are one of the greatest gifts that God has given me which I must be thankful for.. I hope someday I could turn back all the good things that they've done for me.. I love them so much I want to give an extraordinary gift this Christmas that, perhaps, would make them feel glad
With wt happened to laine, be reminded that there’s no such things as accident..He has plan and a purpose…Trials put our faith to the test as well as stretch our confidence in Him…They force us back to the bedrock of faith upon which our foundation rests, and this becomes a refining and necessary process…--Hope Again

Reinterpret Our Shortfalls

Sir Winston Churchill offered the best definition of success "Success is moving from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm..."
They say that as you interpret your failures, it's a giant step toward maturity..yes, it's definitely true..:) Though it's quite hard to accept the reality that you've been wrong, indeed, God just want to teach us from our enigmatic experiences..to learn from it..to ponder on it...

Being Active In AKI Makes Me...

AKI has a big impact in my life. For almost thirteen years that I have been sponsored, I can say that it really helped me a lot. Basically, it almost provides me all my needs like health and nutrition benefits, educational assistance and material benefits. But AKI doesn’t end with that, it goes beyond those things, it has lot more things to offer, opportunities that could enlighten a youth like me.

I remember the time that I’ve nearly dropped in the sponsorship but because of my Field Officer who believes in me, that conflict became a blessing-in-disguise. She gave me another chance and one time she told me to attend in a three-day-seminar of AKI, specifically named Advance Leadership Training. And that’s the start, I become an active youth in AKI. In the process, through cumulative seminars, I became a CLA facilitator which made me to be a good storyteller, a YES facilitator which gave me a chance to be a source of inspiration to my co-sponsored youth, and a YHC facilitator which helped me to appreciate more and brought me to the extent of my highest realization of certain things.

Being active in AKI, indeed, makes me a better person. It changes me a lot from being a shy girl who believes that her life should only focus in school to house or vice versa to a youth who can be a leader and a role model of her community. It improves me and it helps me to know myself in a more profound way. Whenever I involve myself in different youth programs, it became an opportunity for me to learn more that I don’t easily learn from the four corners of a classroom. It also develops my abilities and makes me discover that I’m capable of doing other things, which helps me to boost my confidence.

Eventually, the most significant aspect of being an active youth in AKI is the essence of volunteerism, of serving other sponsored children and sponsored youth by sharing the best of my knowledge and abilities and by spending my quality time with them. It’s really an overwhelming experience and a fulfillment from within which I could consider as a remarkable accomplishment in my life that, in some way, I have imparted, contributed, and made a footprint to others.

I will cherish forever all the good things that AKI brought me. I’m so thankful that God blessed me and gave this kind of privilege to be one of the sponsored children of Children International-Abot Kamay Inc. For all the immense sacrifices of all the people behind this institution to make this organization that’s devoted to the promotion of pubic cause to be possible, all of you deserve a big salute!!! Continue to be a blessing to others!!!
