Poem for the broken heart

At First

At first I thought you were mine
Because whenever were together,
You and I didn’t mind the time

At first I thought I would always be happy
But you fooled me,
And left me lonely.

At first our meter of love was high,
But as time pass by, it became low
And not long for it to bring me sorrow.

At first, I thought that everything you’re telling me were the truth.
But now I come to realize,
That everything was a lie.
And the last thing I want to tell you is,
I love you and goodbye!

Have faith...

The winds of God are always blowing, but you must set the sails.

Have faith....

Sometimes, people give up to things that they thought was difficult. They give up to things that could have been overcomed by themeselves.

Have faith....

In life, we experience difficulties, and gave up.

Have faith....

In life, in facing difficulties, never forget that these problems that you face are from God. He gave you these problems to make you strong.



To make the long post short... HAVE FAITH

Haaay! ang tao talaga!

Bakit kaya ganon ang tao!?!

Lumalapit lang sa Diyos pag may hinihingi.

Just an observation after the 9 days novena....

nung simbang gabi, punong puno ang simbahan, halos umabot na sa kalye ang mga tao sa sobrang dami.

Sa una, maiisip natin na nakakatuwa.
Sa una, maiisip natin na masaya.
Sa una, maiisip natin na nakakatouch.

pero sa totoo lang, pag inisip mo mabuti, hindi nakakatawa, masaya, o nakakatouch. Kundi, nakakalungkot isipin.

Dati, noong hindi pa pasko, ang konti ng nagsisimba. Hindi pa lalagpas ng sampo ang nagsisimba. At merong isang beses na nagserve ako, na wala talaga nagsimba. Pero tuloy parin ang misa kahit 3 lang kme ng pari, lector at ako.

Pero kita mo naman! nung nagimula ang simbang gabi. Halos bumuhos na ang mga tao sa simbahan. Napanood ko sa TV, gumawa sila ng survey, bakit daw ba gusto mabuo ang simbang gabi?

mga sagot ng mga tao:

Miss#1: Syempre! para matupad ang wish ko!
Miss#2: Sinamahan ko lang lola ko.
Kuya#1: May wish daw e! kaya nagsisimba ako!
Kuya#2: Para natupad ang wish ko ngayong pasko!

ANO BA YAN?

Bakit ganyan ang tao?!? Nagsisimba lang pag may hinihingi???

Remembering the birth of Jesus

Help us rightly the birth of Jesus, that we may share in the song of the angels, the gladness of the sheperds, and the worship of wise men.



The name of Jesus is the one lever that lifts the world. Listen to the Gospel, pray, and ask intercession to saints and blessed, you may not know it, but it shields your soul from evil.

Shield for the soul

Christmas is the season for kindling the fire of hospitality in the hall, the genial flame of charity in the heart

The universal and invisible light

Christmas is really all about Jesus, how He miraculously took flesh, came to earth and walked among us so that He could die as atonement for our sins.


The Word of God is the universal and invisible light. Believe in God's Word, listen to His message for your weary heart and soul.

sana lang...sana lang...sana lang...

sana lang...sana lang...sana lang...


SANA sa bawat butil ng pagkain na isinusubo ko sa aking bibig ay isang batang nagugutom at naghihirap ang nabubusog.


SANA sa bawat patak ng bolpen na aking isinusulat ay isang bata ang natututo maguslat


SANA sa bawat papel na natatapon ay isang bata ang natututo magbasa


SANA sa bawat tanong na naisasagot ko sa eskwela ay isang bata ang nakakapagaral


SANA sa bawat jeep na aking sinasakyan ay isang tatay ng isang pamilya ang nagkakaron ng trabaho


SANA sa bawat piso na ibinabayad namin sa meralco ay isang pamilya na walang matirhan ang nagkakaron ng tahanan


SANA sa bawat ngiti na lumalabas sa aking muka ay isang magkaaway ang nagbabati at nagiging magkaibigan


SANA sa bawat bagay na aking nagagawa ay meron nalulunkot na tao na sumasaya


SANA sa bawat dasal ko ay marinig at sana mapatupad

sana lang... sana lang... sana lang...

A Person with a name

God promised He would be 'with us', not as an ethereal force, but in the form of a person with a name Jesus


-Michael Card


Prayer requires more of the heart than the tongue. Open your heart to prayer's double blessings through service.

By singing, you can also experience the double blessings of prayer.

Turo samin, "singing is twice as much as prayer"-Don Bosco.

Timeless truths

Thanksgiving is based on 2 presuppositions
  1. All of man's blessings are gifts from God
  2. Man is unworthy of the blessings God gives

-Fred Fisher

Daily blessings are daily reminders of God. Believe in God's providence, listen to his timeless truths.

To Camisado...

First of all... Thank you very much...

The following words from the bible might answer your questions... but im not that sure.

Love is patient and kind; it is not jealous conceited or proud; love is not ill-mannered or selfish or irritable; *love does not keep a record of wrongs* (this means that love is perfect); love is not happy with evil, but is happy with the truth. (1Corinthians 13:4-6)

Why do lovers fight sometimes? Isn't it because they did commit a mistake? What does it mean if these lovers who commit a mistake claim to have true love? Just like in the movies, yes. Does it mean that they do not have true love?


Even I have the same questions as yours. Kaya nga sinabi ko na, "After hearing this statement, my heart started to ask questions"... dahil kahit ako may mga tanong din na hinde pa nasasagutan

Sana may nasagutan ako sa tanong mo. And next time, please leave your email, so that i can privately send to you my answers. So that i wouldnt be publishing my replies.

Once again Thank You.

Ice cream story

Merong isang bata na pangalan ay Daniel. Sa buong buhay ni Daniel, hindi pa sya nakakakain ng ice cream. Kaya isang araw pagkagaling sa eskwela ay bumili sya ng ice cream sa kanto ng eskwela nila. Nasarapan sya sa ice cream na kanyang ibinili at nagustuhan nya.

Simula noon ay araw araw na sya bumibili ng ice cream sa kanto ng eskwelahan nila. Naging suki sya ng mga nagbebenta ng ice cream. Araw araw bumubili sya, bago pumasok at pag uwian.

Pero isang araw pagkatapos nya bumili ng ice cream ay nahulog ang ice cream dahil sa sobrang diin ng pagka dila nya dito. Sabay sa pagkahulog ng ice cream ay nadumihan ang kanyang damit. Kaya nung pumasok sya sa classroom nila, pinipintasan sya ng mga kaklase nya. Natrauma sya sa mga pintas ng mga kaklase nya. Kaya simula noon ay hindi na sya kumakain ng ice cream.

Dumating na yung fair nila. Meron mga booths ng mga pagkain. Nakita nya ang isang booth na puro ice cream lang. Pero hindi sya bumili. Makalipas ang ilang oras, nasunog ang booth ng mga barbecue. Lumalaki na ang sunog. Pumasok sa isipan nya na, "kaylangan may gawin ako!". Kaya pumunta sya sa booth ng ice cream at kumuha ng madaming ice cream at itinapon ito sa nasusunog na booth.

Simula noon ay naging kilala na sya sa eskwelahan nila at kinilala na isang hero dahil sa kanyang ginawa ang mga paraan.




Marahil sa pag basa mo sa kwento ko ay natawa ka. Siguro sa unang basa mo ay nasabi mo na pangit, walang kwenta at non sense.

Pero kung mag rereflect ka at hahanapin mo ang lesson, makikita mo ang kagandahan ng kwento ko...


"Pero kuya! ano ba ang lesson?"


Lesson:

Ang buhay ay parang ice cream. Minsan nakukuha natin na magpasarap. Pero pag masyado natin pinipressure ang buhay natin, malalaglag ito. At sa pag laglag nito, sabay na nadudumihan ang katauhan natin. At kasabay din ang pag sira nito.

Pero sa buhay natin, kaya magbago. At sabay sa pagbago nito ang pagtulong sa kapwa. At kung minsan ang pagtulong natin na ito ay masosobra at hindi na naitin maiisip ang sarili natin at hindi natin namamalayan ay nakakatulong na pala tayo ng malaki sa ibang tao.


baka may mali ako na nasabi
baka meron kayong hindi sinasangayunan
baka meron kayong gusto sabihin

masama man o maganda, magcomment nalang po kayo. SALAMAT

Selfish words

"If you really love me then let me go!"


-Robbie (from the movie, "war of the worlds")

A statement made by Robbie, from the movie of war of the worlds. He played as the son of Tom Cruise in the film.

After hearing this statement, my heart started to ask questions. Something came into my mind that time. I said to myself, "what selfish words from a son to his father"

Love is never selfish, conceited or proud. Love is perfect. It does not commit mistakes.

My dream

Why does it have to be so difficult in life?


People are suffering before your eyes and people just ignore them!

Starving to death and yet no one feeds them!

Dirty and yet no one cleans them!

Abused and yet no one defends them!

Harrased and yet no one protects them!

Being laughed at and yet you join them!


Why does it have to be so difficult!?!

Just few hours ago I saw a kid about 5-6 years old calling for passengers in a jeepney stop... and after filling the jeep with passengers, the driver gave him a 5 peso coin...


Just yesterday, I saw 2 kids about 7-8 years old inside a jeep. The driver was exhausted with these 2 kids. I heard him saying, "kayo nanaman! putang ina! magbayad naman kayo!"... The 2 kids were silent and all that i could do was watch!..... napaka tanga ko! napaka gago ko! la man lang ako nagawa! nagdasal nlng ako para sa kanilang dalawa....


Just last week, a guy entered the jeep im riding. He gave the passengers including me a paper saying that he belongs to a foundation and they need a donation.... he was even asking, "kahit piso lang po malaking tulong na po" I did not give him a piso. Instead, i gave him a 20 peso bill. After he leaves the jeepney, the passenger beside me asked me, "bakit mo naman binigyan ng ganun kalaki yung lalaki? baka peke yun!", all i have to say was, "peka man yun o hindi, mas kaylangan nya yun kaysa sakin"


Just last month, a kid about 5 years old entered again the jeepney that im riding. He suddenly wiped the shoe of each passenger and asked for a little help... The driver arrogantly said, "tang ina! bumaba nga kayo!"


Bakit ganyan kasama ang mundo!?!


pag laki ko tutulungan ko sila
pag laki ko papagaralin ko sila
pag laki ko tatayo ako ng isang organization na tutulong sa kanila
pag laki ko papakainin ko sila
pag laki ko sana masaya na sila

This is my dream, and this dream is what I wish to fulfill...
