minsan gusto mo din na ikaw naman ang alagaan...
but someone told me that happiness should not depend on how others treat or love us.
coz sometimes it just doesn't show and you'd end up feeling depressed all the more.
but there's still that someone who'll walk by your side...
and would never leave--no matter what.

Youth

it was the second time that our youth fellowship was held at our house. the 'gang' watched hillsong's 2008 concert, 'this is our god'.

super fun. kulet kasi ng icebreaker na ginawa ni kuya george. everyone just can't stop laughing.

back to the concert. i haven't seen a group of musicians as passionate in their worship as these people. they truly rock for god. 'with everything...with everything...we will shout for your glory...' that line says it all.

our music team has still a lot to learn. but we'll start with what we have--the desire to lift up God's name through music. we'll leave the rest to god.. nakakatuwa lang yung sinabi ni merdan. 'ganyan din naman tayo tumugtog ah!' quite funny but it tells me something more. he has faith in our team. so do i.

i also discussed about our plans for the coming three months. it's nice to see the excitement in their eyes. hope everything works out with god's guidance and provision. we ended the day with a prayer. minsan iisipin mo hindi sila seryoso manalangin...madalas kasi nagkakahiyaan in saying their prayer requests. but i believe their prayers are powerful--raw--honest.

i love these kids. i'm gonna miss them. i praise the lord for these wonderful young people who keep on inspiring me to serve god through serving/leading them. ang bilis ng panahon. my term's coming to an end this december but i believe my work is still not finished.

rock on.

Anointed.

:)

cycle.

he's at it again...
i'm so tired of telling him about it.
when will he ever learn?
:(

If you could go back and change just one thing about your life, would you?
And if you did, would that change make your life better?
Or would that change ultimately break your heart?
Or break the heart of another?
Would you choose an entirely different path?
Or would you change just one thing?
Just one moment?
One moment that you always wanted back?

At this moment, there are six billion, five hundred two million, eight hundred sixty seven thousand, one hundred and twenty people in the world.
Give or take a few.
And sometimes all you need is one.
For better or for worse.

--Lucas Scott

some random thought

it isn't easy to be happy. but there are still a lot of things to smile about. don't be disheartened.

time heals all wounds, so they say. just hoping time is at my side.

there are a thousand reasons to cry. but there are a million reasons to laugh.

the choice is ours to make.

live for the million reasons.

SMILE :)

i want to write.

write.
write.
write.

i love this blog.

doesn't matter if no one reads it at all. maybe except for my bez. haha.

wth.

it's off limits to YOU.

please.

just keep it only between the 2 of us...

i feel like i have lost you again.

you always say we don't understand each other. maybe because we do not listen well enough. i'm sorry for everything. i know i'm always the cause of our problems. i'm sorry for giving you such a hard time and for being too possessive. i didn't mean to.

but i'm tired of blaming myself for every single fight. i'm giving you your freedom now. hope you'd be happier this way. if we're really meant for each other then so be it. until that day comes, i'll prepare myself for you. i'll do my best to be the person He wants for you. but if not, i'll be content with loving you from afar.

i am saddened by being the reason why you feel so 'strangled'. hope u find that 'someone' who will give you the breathing space you need. hope she'll give you everything i can't. hope you love her--the way you know how to love before there was me. make her happy. don't say 'whatever' even if it's just a joke whenever she's trying to tell you her heart's content--it'll make her feel worthless.

to that someone who will have your heart:

understand him.
give him breathing space.
write him sweet letters.
tell him jokes.
pray for him.
cook for him. feed him right.
watch his game. cheer for him.
surprise him even without special occassions.
watch a movie with him.
hug him whenever he feels sad. just cheer him up.
don't make him leave without having said you love him.
kiss him on the cheek before you say goodbye. just give him woodpecker kisses.
watch him walk away from your house because he'll wave goodbye.
make him happy.
just LOVE him.

tanay trekking

6 kilometers of rocky, muddy, downhill slope.

NINE rivers.

12 heavy donation boxes.

= the best adventure ever! :)

just the thought of trekking makes me tired... but nothing compares to the stress of actually doing it... :)

as part of our pastoral action in theo class, our 'frat' had to go to barangay laiban (a community located at the foot of some mountain in tanay) to do some outreach in partnership with our school's Environmental Studies Institute.

it took us an hour's drive to tanay then 5 hours down to baranggay laiban. we had to cross 9 rivers and about 6 kilometers of downhill slope to reach the place. we even had our lunch at the 6th river if i'm not mistaken.

super daming bata dun sa community. more than 80 kids ata un. seeing the smile on their faces as we played with them was the best consolation to our tired bodies. we left the place at 4pm and it was the best jeepney ride. literal na bigfoot ung tires ng jeep haha. para kang nasa "Realto" pag dumadaan ung jeep sa ilog haha :)

sir francis and sir mon are the best trekking masters. super fun kasama and super bait. they even treated us to fudge sundaes after the trip.

super bonding. :)

i wouldn't trade this experience for anything else. till the next adventure. :)

* halata bang ang hilig kong mag-'super'! haha :)
