i just had my overnight retreat and it was great! it was very helpful in my part. i surely learned something new.
it was a big confrontation in my part! God affirmed things to me through it. most of which led me to humble acceptance. well, truth really hurts but i'm very happy for the outcome. that is because God granted me the grace i really needed then. my doubts were answered. i was helped to realize certain things in its real sense by His words through the scriptures and reflective materials, and by few persons which were sent to assist me. i feel free to some extent, because God helped me free myself from my ideal self, leading me back to reality, assuring me that it's fine to be real and spontaneous and ME! isn't it great?!
i'm really happy for such opportunity. it was really wonderful...such a beautiful confrontation.
i owe Him a big gratitude. please help me thank God... thank you.
God bless us all in our journey... God help us through it all...

Just being grateful...
"As the year ends, let us be thankful for:
those who hated us.. they made us better persons;
those who loved us.. they made our hearts glow;
those who envied us.. they made our self-esteem grow stronger;
those who cared us.. they made us feel important;
those who touched our lives.. they made us who we are today;
those who left us.. they showed us that nothing lasts forever; and
those who stayed.. they showed us the true meaning of friendship."
I am indeed very grateful to God for allowing you to pass by me, creating an impact in my life -may it be big or little-.. and i thank you for submitting yourself to such experience that God granted us to share.
Whatever it is.. thank you so much...
May you be blessed with a grace-filled new year.
God bless you and your family.
God bless us all.
Take care..
Jesus loves you and so do I.

The Crucifix in Green
Lifeless, lying dead on green
A memory of men’s sin
Carrying so much burden
But the will is never hidden.
It is the expression of great love;
The desire that His people will have
The freedom to fly like a dove
And salvation they won’t starve.
As the green colored the clothing
Reminds us of His being
The God of the living;
His great mercy revealing.

In Gratitude...
friends,
just wanna let you all know that i've always been grateful for everything that we shared. those moments, may it be nice and not so nice, happy and sad moments, i treasure them all. these are gifts that life offered me. every moment shared left a mark in my life and therefore captured a piece of me. whatever are those, i am thankful for it for i surely learned in all of those.
magkalimutan man tayo, e may pinanghahawakan naman akong treasure... yun yung mga panahong nakasama kayo sa iba't ibang paraan. let it be called past, but some of those are existing with me in my present, and might go with me in my future. undeniably, naging bahagi na ng buhay ko ang bawat pagkakataong yun sa kadahilanang yun ang nagturo sa aking maintindihan at mahalin ang buhay, at kung papaano ko harapin ang bawat araw na laan para sa akin.
at sa lahat-lahat ng yun, MARAMING SALAMAT.
naway ipagpala tayong lahat ng Poong Maykapal sa bawat araw na ating kinabubuhay kasama ang mga taong nakapaligid sa atin...

Self-evaluation
for the past days,i'm into sort of self-evaluation. i know things are changing in me. i intended to do things in a different me. which somehow brought others into a surprise, seeing me in a new way. tho it made them laugh... but which also brought me into a certain level of sadness...
hayyy... i feel sad... but surely i can still manage to smile, laugh and even crack a joke! o di ba?!
would anybody know that the happiest person in everybody's eyes can sometimes be the loneliest person in his deepest self???
but hey! this can't be self-pity!!!!!
whew!!!!
thanks to all who continuously pray for me...
i love you guys...
God bless us all!

Still on tears...
when i had my last entry here -tears -written, i didn't cry at all, i never intended to cry either. it was just i was moved to talk about it, 'tho i can no longer remember what moved me then.
but to my surprise, i had a share of tears in my class last nov.9. what happened then? well, we were just simply asked to recall our saddest moment in life. then each of us had to stand in front to share to the class what we had inside, as we were all expected to be a support group for everybody. just when the first person stood up, she was up to her tears! now what do you expect from me then?!
i actually started crying when the third person had her share since i can no longer hold my tears. when i had my turn, i was still crying but managed to speak well (in taglish pa jd!). i really shared a bit of my sadness to them. it came as a surprise almost to everybody, 'coz they thought i was all fine, always fine. i was a bit embarassed and i expressed to them that i really hated it -crying in front of anybody! i'm not used to it at all! i told them that they were blessed to see me in tears! but 'dayaon ko kuno'. you know why? because i wore shades! so still they were not able to see my crying eyes. hehe
it struck me when our teacher told me that i should give myself the time to mourn. hmmm... do i really have enough time for that? hehe
but it was a blessing for me then to have cried and be relieved, 'tho i never expected it to happen that way. and yes, i am thankful for that opportunity, to those who were there, and to God of course! it was a grace from Him then!
and! tinuloy ko nalang yung pag-iyak ko at night when i watched a japanese film 'Gokusen', funny but very touchy. i decided to join Yankumi in tears... ang galing noh?
i had my little emotions released, and my soul and eyes cleansed. see, shedding tears really helps...'tho painful it may seem... thank God for the gift of tears!
let's give ourselves a toast of tears! hehe
God bless everyone!
