I miss home

I miss home so badly. I want to see my mom, my dad, my whole family. I'm feeling home sick. :(

If there's chance for me to see them once more, I would hug them so tight and tell them that I'm longing to kiss and hug them. I would thank them for everything because I owe to them everything I have. Without them, my life is worthless.. I pray that even if we're far from each other, I hope that I'm always on their minds..that they miss me too. May God bless them good health and perseverance to fight for the day to day challenges. May they feel that I love them... I miss home so much.

I'm working so hard here in Manila and this is for them.. I want to serve them one day. I want them to relax and worry nothing. I want to help them financially.. I hope that God would let me serve them..

To my family, I miss you so much. I love you with all of my heart.. I want to see you soon..

missing my girl sOoO badly

I woke lonely.. wishing that my girl friend is beside me. How i long to see her, to kiss and to hug her. I never expected that I could meet such a fine woman. She made me a real me despite what we had in the past.. Our relationship is not perfect but I can say that it's real and ideal. I can't deny though that its all because of her..

She's been so passionate and really hard working. She cares and loves and her family so much which makes me feel jealous sometimes. yeah really! not too jealous of course because I can see that in time when we have our own family, for sure she'll love us unconditionally. I remember one time when she said that she's lucky to have me.. I asked her why.. and she responded, "..I don't really know the exact reason why but I know and I feel that you really care and love me as I am.." Indeed, it was true.. she's definitely right. I accepted her as she is even before we had our grown relationship. But then I answered back.. I told her that I'm Luckier. She mean so much to me.. don't need to tell her the reasons but I will surely express what I'm feeling for her.. Thank God he gave me such a kind woman. I wanna marry her when everything is in place.. :)

just bought new shoes

I bought a new shoes a while ago. Its not that expensive but I like the shoes. I need to buy new one because I guess my feet got bigger. hehe! For a change, I chose the while one.. I don't have to tie it any more because it has no more lace. Easy to wear and easy to remove..

With this new shoes of mine I'll take care of this..why? because I could hardly buy another one. Everything in Manila is expensive and my allowance is only good for necessities such as the basic commodity. I could no longer use my old shoes. My work requires running and fast walking.how can I if I'm not comfortable of what I'm wearing, right? hay!

Well, thank you for my monthly allowance.. It's not that enough however, it helps me in some ways. I wish I could earn more.. I hope there would be an increase in our allowance so that I can save something to buy some pants and shirts. I need those for my work.. tsk tsk!

We're fighting again

This past few days seems to be not my days.. My girl friend and I are always fighting. I don't want this kind of feeling. It's annoying.. Whenever we're fighting I can't make a call. She's setting her phone into a divert all calls.. with that, how can we fix things up? If I text her, though I know for sure that she can read my texts, it doesn't bother her to reply.

Girls are really girls. There are things that they think don't need to be tackled.. of course I have to ask if something isn't clear to me, right? I want to talk to her but she's hesitant. I hope soon we'll talk. I'll just give her some time to think it over and then we'll talk again and hoping that everything will be okay soon. I miss her.

I love her and I don't wan to loose her. I hope everything will really be okay soon.. I wish she'll read this.

see?

Last night, I talked to my girlfriend.. she had a problem about something I don't want to say here.. if you'll excuse me. Well, before the night ends, She said she's already fine and moved on. I hope she really is. I miss her so much.

Life is indeed very fragile.. in my own perspective.There are really people who should mind their own business yet they even observe others action and delivers none sense messages. gossip is really something which i hate.. and this is the reason why my girl friend cried last night. So sad for her.. good that with my phone call she was relieved.

oh hey! the last call we had? she hardly hide the trusth.. hehe! she really has something for me.. she sent the gift yesterday and I will soon receive it, hopefully tomorrow. I know what's in there.. She's really so sweet.. I love her!
I miss her! THANK YOU, 'my..

a better life

In Christ, the lost find their way to the right path.

As I read through today’s gospel reading, I could not help but find similarity with the life Zaccheus lived. There was chapter in my life wherein I have gone astray. I was worse that a thief, which Zaccheus was. I was a drug pusher and small time drug dealer. I convinced young people to use drugs. I stole their young minds and bright futures.

God bailed me out of this hopeless situation. One day, when our most recent deal almost got busted, my partners in the business threatened to kill me. My life was in danger from the very hands of whom I worked with. Desperate and hopeless, I turned to God. God worked His way in me and brought me into a life of HOPE.

Today, I am happy. I have a decent job as a tricycle driver and I am actively serving God through Singles for Christ. God has come into my life at the best time. He is leading me into the right path. Shared.

Projection

The greatest treasures are found within the heart.

I come from show business, where projection is very important. What you have, you flaunt. What you don’t have, you project. Then I joined Couples for Christ, where the people are so humble- what they have, they don’t advertise; what they don’t have, they accept as unnecessary.

I went to a province to give a life testimony. In the bus station, I asked for directions form a man who looked like a bus conductor. He was accommodating- so much, in fact, that I told myself he must have recognized me from my showbiz days! He even personally brought me to the assembly area.

After my testimony, we went for lunch to a huge house with impressive furnishings. I told myself, it must belong to a very rich and important person. When the owner of the house came out to welcome me, my jaw fell. He was the man at the bus stop. I never guessed he was the very rich and important person that he really was. Never again will I judge people by way they look.

tiring day

It's a very tiring day. my boss always ask me to go to different banks to enchash or withdraw certain amount of money. wheew! so hot! really. And when I'm back to the office, lots of errands to do, take note, everything left are urgent. can u imagine? how am i going to finish everything for an hour or two? That couldn't be..

I love to work though. It's just that I need time also in order to finish certain task. I can't spend my whole day doing such works because I also have my personal life to prioritize. I should not deprive myself to enjoy one in a while. I'm striving so hard to retain the job I have right now, I believe that I can't be totally happy if I will only save one side of what I want..

well, just sharing.. see yah!

A minute for you time

A minute of prayer adds to a lifetime with the Father.

I've been in the community for years and I have grown up in a religious environment but these factors were not enough for me to have a personal relationship with God. Prayer, I can say, is the least of my priority. It may not show but I feel ashamed of not having time to pray. I know that God does not require me to pray the whole day or the whole night but still, I fail to give Him my prime time. I always find excuses for not praying. I seem to find things that need my urgent attention, hoping that God will understand.

As I read the gospel over and over, a question struck me, Are there really more important things to do that to pray to God?" I know the answer. With this, I made a promise to spend at least a minute of my day with God. This simple step is big in God's eyes!

RELAX

More prayers mean more blessings..

I was out of work for three years. As head and supposedly provider of the family. I found it hard to accept that we were living on the salary of my wife.

Although our relatives were always supportive of us, my joblessness was a major cause of pain for me and it finally came to a point when I seriously doubted if God still listened to my prayers.

My problems heightened when my wife began to question my sincerity and my capability to provide for our needs. She was pregnant then with our fifth child and we argued and quarreled more frequently than ever before. Our home became a living hell. It was then that I realized that I had to do something. But the, what? Where do I start? How? These questions lingered in my mind until I came across God’s assuring words in today’s Gospel. (Luke 18:7) I just had to pray harder and rely on His promises even more. When I did this, things began to turn for the better not only for me but for my wife and children as well. It was as if God was telling me, “RELAX.” Help is on the way… shared.

Give from the heart

Each must do as already determined, without sadness or compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

I have been a commuter for many years, and I have been in buses where people get on to solicit donations for different causes. There is the preacher, the medical mission volunteer, the singer-guitarist and the child beggar. After saying their piece, they would pass a solicitation envelope. Some commuters would give money, while those who do not want to give either pretend to be asleep or simply return the envelope empty.

In my case, I give money because I feel the need to share my blessings to help them with their basic needs or fulfill a mission. Sometimes I would wonder where the donations go. Are these people sincere in their personal mission? But then again, this is probably no longer my concern. Rather I am content with having given as a Christian selflessly, generous. Shared.

miracles are God's ways of telling us He is with us all the time

A few years back, I was not a very prayerful person. I always have this what I call, "moments in the wildersness." At that time I was a performing artist (stage actor) and I also worked for an advertising and PR firm. I was really hyperactive, performing on weekends, rehearsing every night and handling advertising and PR accounts during day time.

One day I could not walk anymore. I was told that I had three major knee injuries on both knees and had to undergo physical therapy. The therapy did not work! I have to undergo surgery. That means big expenses, no performance for a year or so, and no income. I was beginning to question God. My doctor wanted me to wait for a knee specialist based in Cincinnati have expired, and I could not afford the surgery without it. I begged my bosses to extend it but the answer was “NO”. The night before the surgery scheduled with my doctor (without the specialist), I prayed like I’d never prayed in my whole life. An hour before the scheduled surgery, my bosses changed their decision. What a relief! Shared.

monthsary

It's another month for me and for the one I love. I wish she's here beside me. I want to greet her. I want to thank her for all the sacrifices she made in order for this relationship to work. I owe it to her a lot. She's been praying this and me as well, praying for this relationship to really work and that will last. I don't have any expectations at all until she came..Indeed, it is a happy relationship. I believe that we both love each other. We know our responsibilities.. that's very important to me.

I'm happy that regardless of what we had in the past, specially during those early days that we had where I really don't treat her as what she's expecting me to do. However, she gave me chance and finally moved on. Now, I'm confident that I'm treating her better than her expectation. I love her so much and I long to see her. I pray that she'll always be in her good health and that she's happy despite of our situation now, we are far from each other but still I see to it that we have a good regular communication. I missed her so much. 'my? take care and ILOVEYOU..

advance happy monthsary

I could not wait anymore.. I missed my april so much. I want to greet her a happy monthsary! I love her so so so so so so so so much! I want to hug her tighter than I used to. I want to talk to her over time, I want to kiss her until she'll ask me to stop. grrrrrr! I wish I could go home to see her once more. Oh, there's no gift for her. hehe! I don't give her gifts at all. Theres no other thing that could define what I am feeling towards her. If I gave her a teddy bear or something huggable stuff, I would be jealous. I want her to hug no one except me. Chocolates? well, good and that's what she likes to eat a lot, its just that whenever she has chocolates, she barely remember me. I won't let that happen, of course.

I just call her at 12 midnight. I'll spoil her.. I'll kiss her and I will let her feel that I miss her a lot. I hope I can record it so that I can save it here and anyone could listen to it. hehe! of course, I'm proud. I just really miss her and longing so to see her again.

To my ever dearest april, I love you and I miss you. HAPPY MONTHSARY 'my. :)
