Kids Camp and CLP for SFC...

Kids camp during the last 2 Sundays was a great experience for me. To see the smiles of every kid who attended, and to hear them cheer you and say "Kuya" It kinda reminds me of my younger years together with my younger brother. To be able to guide these little children toward the Lord was really a lifting experience.

August 21 marks the day for the nth clp of westb2d (n stands for something I don't know!) For now all I can say is I have this what they called mixed emotions since this will be my second time ( first time was in kids camp) to be a facilitator.

Though this is the 2nd time for me to be a faci, this will be a totally different experience since I will be guiding a group of young men (not sure about young, they could be older for all I know) The point is, being a facilitator for them is a very big responsibility. The way I carry out this task will play an important role in our spiritual quest towards God.

I have long since wished that at least, I could bring a single soul closer to the Lord. If I could do this then I could really say that this will be my greatest achievement.

I have confidence that the Lord will be there for me. though I see dark clouds ahead of me, I will fear nothing for I have with me my umbrella of Faith.....

What the??????

These past headlines are becoming an eyesore to me. A committee that will run the investigation of the previous office was being planned and the one who was offered to lead this one holds one of the highest position of this country.

It's funny thinking that during a previous debate with the other candidates of the position he was running he emphasize the need to form a committee that will investigate the current administration at that time. even throwing this question to one of his rival with sarcasm.

But now...

He declined the offer.

Well.....Good for him

It's good that he rather focus his energies in doing better things than chasing a damn dog.

Still the show must go on to that other person...

Today another sickening headline came out! Witness to a gruesome massacre was killed!

What happened to our country now? dealing on some unimportant issues rather than focusing on more important ones and this is what happened.

What the?????

Justice!!!!! Where art thou?

Mixed emotions with a speck of rain!

it's been a while since I visited my own blog and it kinda amuse me cause until now I haven't shared this with anyone yet. Come to think of it, what is there to share about this anyway?.....

these past week have been a great week for me until I heard about something from someone (not literally heard!). It's strange to feel this kind of mixed emotion when in the first place, I really have no right to feel that way.

I have a certain song in my mind continuously playing, like a certain mp3 played on a music player with repeat mode activated. And yet I told myself many times (though not literally again) that I will never go beyond the border of friendship. This time, I found myself thinking of another song.

Again, I find it weird to wish that I see someone but at the same time wishing I never have met that someone.

This week have been a journey on a road to mystery. Like the journey of life, at times we may experience some storm and yet upon the final touch of those raindrops a part of this event will leave either a scar or a treasure in our hearts...

I have never expected to find these treasures and at the same time leaving a very deep cut in my heart.

"Life is a road in which we travel and at the end of that road is where we meet our destiny!"

When saying complete means the opposite

I usually hear or read the words "I am complete" but do they really mean it? I find myself wondering if the person saying this is true to him or herself. I do hope that what she does mean what she says. and if she does mean it then I'm happy for her.

I find myself wondering why do I feel pity those people who says I'm complete when their actions speaks otherwise. When a person is complete, he or she does not need to tell the whole world repeatedly about how he or she feels. and besides, A complete person never talks about his or her past sorrows. It seems more like a person who could not go on with his or her life.

If you are complete, all that is past is left behind.

Stress Reliever

This coming saturday marks another important event to the participants of the CLP for SFC at OLPH. We call this event baptism and every baptism, Music ministry plays a very important task..

We did our practice today in preparation for the line of songs we will be singing. I had a great time practicing with the other members of the group and we do have a lot of visitors in our practice which make the gathering even more great though it would have been better if she were there. Nevertheless, I do hope that its always like this.

For a while I was able to forget the worries of these past days and it gave me a new kind of energy which makes me look forward for the event. It kinda revitalized me serving God and at the same time doing something I really love. It helped me withstand the ever growing pressure I experience with my work.

The guard assigned at that time was also considerate enough to allow us to extend the use of one of the rooms and without turning off the main switch which he usually do to overstaying groups. something which is out of the blue.

I really do hope that the days ahead will be the same like this or better.

in front but inside.....

My work as a system engineer usually requires me to be outside the office doing field work basically anywhere in the country and with the heat of the current el nino, at first I thought that staying at the office is a better choice than getting soak under the intense heat.

But things have been different after my first return at the front desk since 20..forgotten (as usual memory gap me!)

The never ending promos which you need to roll out to different clients specially during special seasons (Come mother's day)..and here comes the arrogant callers who shouts just when you are trying to stay cool from all the pressure of those short notice deadlines.

But staying inside has it's own benefits..

like you don't need to spend too much on buying those mineral water and c2 drinks just to replenish all those sweat(we do have free water, coke and coffee at the office)

like you don't have to wipe your forehead from all the sweat mixed with dust

like you don't need to decide kung sa mc do ka ba? or jolibee ka ba? or sa kfc ka kakain cause lunch at the office is free..

whatever field work or front desk, there's always something that keeps us wishing to be on the other side...

Just Starting....

Just heard or should I say... read another bad news...

Our ever loving dog named Marley was lost last april 24 and upon knowing this.. I just can't help but mentioned the P word again ( a word which I usually chant in the past). Share it on facebook as i want, it will be useless for me to do so. I do hope that whoever finds him will be man or woman enough to return it to us...

on the brighter side... my filling of VL yesterday turned out to be worth it because I happen to meet some of my friends from SFC. It was the wedding day of one our sisters and I was there to sing a few songs. During the bride and groom dance( will call that money dance for I don't know what kind of dance it is.) I really did suck singing the second song. it was a total embarrassing experience for me. I have blame myself for not practicing the song. But the good food was able to relieve me of this terrible experience.

Then comes the surprise celebration of 2 sisters again. this is where I really enjoyed the day specially the honoring part where we have to say something to the celebrants. It's kinda funny when one moment you have something on your mind to say and in the next moment everything is gone. But like I said I did enjoy the night specially after seeing some brothers whom I not met for a long time. It was a great reunion...

Hopefully... may great times lay ahead of me
