I Miss You!!

Today is a regular holiday here in Laguna. Thanks to Dr. Jose Rizal classes are suspended...(laughs) In days like this I'm usually at home finishing homeworks, doing some chores, and surfing the net. But now is kinda different. Something occurred to me...you know what that is? Well, I think I'm missing some people. People I shouldn't be missing right now if they hadn't stopped communicating. Our closeness before has gone and I don't know how and why it happened. Then there are these persons who I still have interaction with but haven't seen for a long time.

Why do you think friendships come at this point? I guess this is one of the trials and struggles that friends will encounter. Although, I'm hoping that sometime missing a friend will never occur to anybody especially me.

I'm not lonely but I'm sad :-( I still have lots of friends that's why I'm not alone but I'm sad because you're not around and I feel bored...

Put Him First!

Yesterday, my professor called a meeting for the Student Council officers. Our agenda: The New Freshmen Treat. The school will be giving a concert party for the newcomers and the sophomores as well. There will be bands like Chicosci, MYMP and a lot more of surprises. But the best part is, the concert will be on Saturday and they needed our help. Of course I would like to come. But wait! Saturday? Oh no, I will be leading the devotion on our Church's fellowship on that same day and almost at the same time!
What will I do?

Well, I actually thought of attending the party for awhile and then ride back home to our Church. But that will be a two and a half ride. How I wish I could be in two places at once but that is very impossible. So, I texted my mom and seeked for advice. She asked me where my commitment should be and then I knew the answer and made my decision. I will talk to my professor and ask for other council job/assignment that I can handle (because I also don't like to be an irresponsible officer) in exchange for my absence on the freshmen treat and go back home on Saturday.

Where do you think did I put my commitment first? I hope that you know and do the same.

Take A Piece of Peace

Everyone wants to live in peace - happy, contented and without worries. We always wanted perfection but life isn't like that. The reality is there is no perfect life, people, and society. Although, we can do better to be close to perfection, that is, to live our lives the right way and according to the will of God.

I've read a lot of articles and devotions on how people should spend their lives to be able to call it a success or somehow perfect. But one devotion caught my attention. It's from the book Quiet Moments With God for Teens. It quoted "...your conscience knows what is right. Follow it today, and see if you don't experience more peace about every decision you make." Isn't it correct? The small voice talking to us whether to do or not to do a certain thing is our guide. Let me say it is really God who talks to us in our conscience.

So, if you want to have a peaceful life, follow your conscience, let God direct you and everything will be alright.

It's The Start!

I've always wanted to write a blog and share my thoughts to others. How many times I've tried to imagine to do my blog's design and what it should be but I haven't found the inspiration to do just yet (laughs)... until last Sunday, June 15. It was Father's Day then. Our Church had a guest minister from the United States. He has given a very inspiring talk about the fathers and their sons and daughters. His message has touched my heart very deeply 'coz I remembered my own Dad. He is the best! We're like friends although he's very strict and made sure that I know my limitations. Also, he has taught me lots of things about life, having dignity, standing for what is right, be kind and humble and all these good stuffs that I will never forget. It's just so sad he didn't see me off to college and witness all my achievements there.
He died two years ago through a heart attack. It was so sudden it seemed unreal. We haven't even had our goodbyes yet I know for sure our thoughts and feelings for each other are clear: we love each other.

*So, this is how I managed to start this blog (at last!). From now on I will continuously write my own thoughts and feelings in here about the experiences and new learnings that I've learned and will learn on my daily life.
