...Carmelite

Today is Sunday.. this morning I went to Carmelite with mom and several other friends.. we attended this sharing on the Order of Carmelite.. it was a simple invitation of how to live a life in God even if you're not part of the religious life (priests, nuns).. it was quite fun, we've learnt a lot and I have realized na you don't really need to become a nun in order to serve God.. even in simple day-to-day life pala you can.. was motivated today to live my life.. as in.

What struck me today was the fact that.. in God pala there's no such thing as Depression, Worry, and Fear.. well.. I have been depressed lately.. and there was a kind of 'emptiness' but I realized na maybe I just didn't have enough faith in God lang.. coz thru God there is hope.. so now I'll start being more positive not only in the outside but on the indside as well.. another was on Love.. nakz.. love na naman.. but no seriously, the talk this morning made my heart feel a little lighter.. I had been asking God kung why He allowed me to lose the one to whom I felt and seen true love, this had been the major cause of my 'emptiness' for a couple of months now - then the talk struck me... Maybe I was too attached unto him na, na I forgot to live my life as God wanted me to.

Yeah.. surprising as it may seem.. it's true.. I have been focusing so much on how much I felt love.. I forgot all else.. maybe God just wanted to lead me back to the path I'm supposed to take by allowing him to move away and not communicate anymore. Yeah it hurts bigtime, specially now-a-days where I don't have anyone to talk to anymore.. I have been craving for attention from others, wanting to somehow fill the gap in my heart now that he's no longer there.. I'm so thankful I got the chance to attend kanina coz I saw there's Hope.. not the kind of hope that maybe someday I'll find him again.. but the kind of hope where I know I am loved by God and that he is the best and most perfect friend I could ever have.. =)

Yeah I'm still missing the person.. but all is lighter now that I have support from others. I'm just praying na I can take up this cross and follow God.

Translations

Words are oftentimes mis-used or even mistranslated when you over-translate them. It even loses it's meaning and may come out funny. One classic example would be TOOTHPASTE. I'm particularly interested in this word (or noun) because it doesn't have a translation in Filipino or in our dialect. Well, for those who know what the words are then please correct me :) I came across this topic in a skype group the other day, we were chatting our hearts out with people from around the world (well most are Filipinos but in different countries) then one person blurted " so ano ang tagalog sa toothpaste? " Everyone kept silent then someone suddenly blurted " joke ba yan? " then most chorused " COLGATE! "... much to my demise, I realized, I didn't know what the tagalog word is for Toothpaste, yet alone know the bisaya term for it. So, I researched online but nothing. Then started texting my friends (Globe lang coz free txt ako sa globe hehhehe) then pe...

Joke Text Messages --- A Reflection

Sa sermon, bag-ong Kano nga pari gitabangan sa Pinoy Interpreter: Pari: The Lord was crucified between two robblers. Roy: Si Hesus gilansang tunga sa duha ka goma. Pari: If we do not repent. Roy: Kung dili ta mamintal ug usab. Pari: The wrath of God will come upon you. Roy: Ang mga ilaga sa Dios moanha kaninyo . (Nangatawa ang mga nanimba) Pari: Well.. well... Roy: Atabay, Atabay.. . Those are one of the many jokes I often receive on day-to-day basis and it truly makes me smile and wonder: How do makers of these jokes ever conceive such simple yet effective ones? Well, maybe it's just me, maybe mababaw lang talaga ang kaligayahan ko .. or simply maybe my tickle bones are just too sensitive. But it's funny.. most especially the joke which follows: During the Last Supper, Jesus broke bread and shared to the twelve. So did they share with the wine... then Jesus said, " Naa diri kaninyo karon ang tao nga mag- betray kanako" ... Then Jesus looked sternly to Judas.. Judas...

Watermark...

Listening to Enya's Watermark makes my heart melt like ice in a hot summer day.. I wonder how the artist/composer felt like while creating such a touching song.. no rhyme nor word is used.. just pure emotion... .. to me feels a lot like loving someone so much yet one doesn't know how to convey.. a feeling only a gentle kiss or a warm hug can express.. How happy it is to love and more if the love felt is mutual.. so many have searched for it, yet only a few are graced by it's presence.. I admit I for one long for it.. the feeling where you need not worry coz someone will always love you, imperfections and all. As I see couples everyday... I can't help but ask myself, "Do they ever realize that many are longing for someone?" Before when I was still younger I despise the couples... but now, I truly envy (?) them.. hehe.. My heart beats extraordinarily whenever I see old couples kiss, hug, talk together, hold hands and just enjoy each other's company for they...
