A Scene That Struck Me

Just earlier I've seen a dramatic scene.

After ng Sunday service namin ng ate ko, kami'y sumakay sa mrt, taft avenue station.
ng biglang...

<*drumroll*>

sa loob ng mrt...
habang kami'y nakaupo at nag-uusap ng ate ko...

lights, camera, action!
(pasigaw ang lahat ng eksena)
girl: Basa nga eh! Basa! (while holding a mountain dew bottle and having an argue with the guard).
guard: Ma'am hindi po pwede ang in can dito sa mrt lalo pa't bukas na.
girl: can?! Is this a can?! It's a bottle! Bottle!
guard: hindi nga po pwede ma'am.
girl: (nilapag ang mountain dew bottle sa labas ng mrt at pumasok uli sa loob)
happy?! Masaya ka na?!
guard: <*speechless*> (at sya'y umalis).
matapos no'n kinuha muli ni girl ang mountain dew sa labas, pumasok uli at umupo.--just imagine.

ahaha. grabe nagulat kami ng ate ko on that scene. parang may mag-boyfriend na nag-away sa aming harapan... lalo na nung binanggit ang mga katagang "happy?! Masaya ka na?!" parang gusto kong sundan ng salitang 'break na tau' un..
nung inact ulit ni ate tawa-tawa kami ng tawa.:))

but, seriously speaking, I've just realized afterwards that why is it so hard to follow on the rules and regulations of that certain place? Why do like her, whom already made a mistake, still has the guts to scold and argue so much? hhhmm... Is pride part of it? Or perhaps something wrong has happened to her before that scenario (the reason why her acts afterwards were affected)?

But no matter what the answer, it's still necessary to live by the word humbleness. Whatsoever the circumstances are, even if you're the right one or not, just hang on that word. Yes, I know. It's too ideal. But trying to do this would yield to a peaceful mind.

Kanina kasi, right after she argued and scolded too much, she seated and her face still looked angry...as in galit. Naisip ko lang, if she just give way and let guard's request be made, she will not have a bad day...result--wrinkles.. ganda pa naman nya. sayang lang.

There are a lot of things that do happen in our everyday life akin with that. I know, I really am guilty with that. Small or big issue. Important or unimportant thing. Whatever it is... They're all the same. We let these affect us and even our whole day.

(ahehe, wait, antok na ko, need to end this now)

Just need a proper approach and the right attitude on things.

Another thing:)

Humbleness means greatness

like HIM ^_^

gudnyt:)

Mother's Day

A simple celebration for mother's day. Me and my sister brought some food and gifts for her. Further, Ate Earleen (my brothers girlfriend) joined us yesterday:) I do really enjoyed that special day with my family:)
I love you ma:)

Plans and Realities

I've read this from Our Daily Bread (January-June 2008 edition) that was given to me by my Professor in Methods in Teaching. Thanks Ma'am Mapa ^_^
You need to read this. If you're quite disappointed and weary because what you've expected and planned doesn't happen, well this would definitely help you.

When I went to Moody Bible Institute as an 18-year-old, I enrolled in the pastors program. I could picture myself preaching and leading a church just as my home church pastor was doing. Then, after hearing about the five faithful missionaries to the Auca Indians who were tragically killed in Ecuador, I even considered dedicating my life to missions.

But God had a different course laid out for me. Through His clear leading, and in accordance with the gifts He had given me, I became a teacher, editor, and writer.

Most of us have had similar experiences. We think ahead and carefully work out a plan. We picture in our minds with great detail how our future is going to unfold. But things don't go as planned. Some doors close, while others open. If this happens to you, it may be that God has something completely different in mind.

It's good to plan and dream and think ahead. But we must always be open to God-appointed changes in direction. "A man's heart plans his way," Solomon wrote, "but the Lord directs his steps" (Prov. 16:9).

God will never mislead us. When we trust Him with all our heart, He will direct our paths (Prov. 3:5-6). His way is always best. --Dave Egner

Should mystery enshroud His plan
And our short sight be dim,
We will not try the whole to scan
But leave each thread to Him.
--Murray

Where God's finger points,
His hand will make the way.

Proverbs 16:9
A man's heart plans his way,
but the Lord directs his steps.

ALL I WANT ^_^

One of my favorite songs that was being played in our church:)

Words and Music by Cyndy Yumang

Every song I sing proclaims Your glory
Every breath I take reflects Your majesty
In your wings oh Lord I'll find my comfort
Keep me Lord and stay
Hear me now I pray

In my darkest hour you strengthen me
Took away the blindness so I can see
In your sanctuary is where I wanna be
Take my hand and walk with me

All I want is to see you face to face
In your presence sheltered by your grace
Cause I can't stop praising
Loving you just keeps me going

All I want is to feel Your warm embrace
In Your loving arms I know I'll be safe
Cause I can't stop praising
Loving you just keeps me going

Quotable Quotes from "The Alchemist"

I got these quotes from the book of Paulo Coelho entitle "The Alchemist", one of his best selling books. I first read this book when I was in 4th year high school when our English Teacher obliged us to read it and make a book analysis.

Recently, I had a chance to reread it again. Well, worth it. :) Had some additional insights.

It's the simple things in life that are the most extraordinary.

--yes, if people just knew how to appreciate even the simplest things they do have and not being hoodwinked by envies and jealousies. Some, perhaps, are unquenchable nor insatiable in their tastes.

When someone sees the same people everyday, they wind up becoming a part of that person's life. And they want the person to change. If someone isn't what others want them to be, the others become angry. Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own.

--hhhmmm, just like loving ourselves first before loving others, know ourselves first before knowing others... including the flaws that we have and had.. and changes will eventually be stumbled upon.

The world's greatest lie: that at a certain point in our lives, we lose control of what's happening to us, and our lives become controlled by fate.

--It is being controlled by someone named Jesus Christ. It is a simple way of letting us feel that He is in control of everything and we should leave all the things upon Him.

The Soul of the World is nourished by people's happiness... To realize one's Personal Legend is a person's only obligation.

--nourished by people's happiness--indeed, that's a blessing, outrageous joy while taking the risks.
Personal Legend, I think, would be the mission and the reason why we were been created by the Creator. In the author's point of view, it's what we have always wanted to accomplish.

When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.

--famous line in this book. Implied explanation.

Treasure is uncovered by the force of flowing water, and it is buried by the same currents.

--It is definitely depends on how we decipher the codes of the enigmatic things that happens on our lives. Whether positively or negatively.


The secret of happiness is to see all the marvels of the world, and never to forget the drops of oil on the spoon.

Like everyone else--I see the world in terms of what I would like to see happen, not what actually does.

There must be a language that doesn't depend on words. It is the language of enthusiasm, of things accomplished with love and purpose, and as part of a search for something believed in and desired.

If I can learn to understand this language without words, I can learn to understand the world.

You must always know what it is that you want.

Never stop dreaming.

Making a decision was only the beginning of things. When someone makes a decision, he is really diving into a strong current that will carry him to places he had never dreamed of when he first made the decision.

People need not fear the unknown if they are capable of achieving what they need and want.

... Fear evaporates when we understand that our life stories and the history of the world were written by the same hand.

You have to think only about the best way of moving forward... The rest is up to Him.
