now my work area is messy, tomorrow? messier..joke, tomorrow or the next day im gonna make it really clean!
I already have a new laptop yey! God is good. I pray that God will allow me to meet the one who stole my first laptop. I want to share God to Him (really). I don't have the right to judge him/her. For God is the avenge. I know there is always a chance for everyone to get over their negative side.. God is merciful...
Our ultimate purpose in this planet is to GAIN WEIGHT. Serious? yeah.
Gain weight= KLS
K Know God L Love God S Serve God
God wants fellowship with us and we are so privileged to be with a God like Him, considering that we are just His creation.
Who are we? yet He has known and search for each one of us. Let us not take for granted the chance that He is giving us to Know Him and enjoy fellowship with Him. Let's talk to Him frequently by praying. Prayer is the most important gift that He has given us. He is always waiting. And watching.
"Love God with all your heart, with all your mind, with all your soul, and with all your strength."
To remind you my friend, life is not about you, it is about Him. Life is about self denial. IF you focus your mind to your own comfort...own pleasure, you will not see God's true purpose for you....
Denying one self is hard, but it is never impossible at all my friend. It is very pleasing in His eyes to see a child ready to die for God's people. Die? for what?
Sometimes, we don't see ourselves living for other people because all we do is live for our own selves. We work to earn and live. But have you ever tried to work, earn, and.... GIVE?
Can you work and then share your blessings to the street children or to the ministries of God in churches? Can you do that? I guess you can, however, it might be hard. But it is possible.
There are lots of challenges around that we need to pass so we can truly serve God. We can give service to God through his other children on earth.
"800 million people are starving today, but the irony is that, 1 billion people are overweight"
If each one of us learn to give, nobody will be left hungry and thirsty. God is calling us to serve and love one another. He created us in His own image, and i believe that He has enabled us to serve and love like the way He did.
Knowing, Loving, and Serving GOd is hard....but it is possible.. let's not be afraid to take the challenge.
Susan Boyle’s popularity is continuously raising the roof, as millions of internet viewers make significant hit on the counter of her channels in youtube and other video sites. Among the most important parts of the video was her honest confession about her admiration for Elaine paige as a singer. How did Miss Paige react on this?
“Unlikely internet celebrity Susan Boyle has received a warm message of support from the star she would most like to emulate” - Elaine Paige
With the millions of comments posted in thousands of sites about Susan Boyle, this comment from Elaine Paige would be the biggest one for the unemployed church volunteer, Susan. Writing on her site following Susan’s sensational appearance on ITV's Britain's Got Talent, Elaine exclaimed that Susan’s performance had captured the hearts of millions who saw it, counting her own.
The outstanding performance of the 47-year-old unmarried church volunteer has won a legion of fans around the world. She has totally given justice to the song “Dreamed A Dream” from Les Miserables. Susan has got 3 YES’s from the judges, counting “the best” yes that Piers Morgan has ever given in the past three seasons of the show.
Last week, she stood in front of the judges and skeptical audience, to whom she admitted about dreaming of becoming as successful as Elaine Paige. Eyes turned around and some have given annoying faces towards her weird and awkward appearance. However, when she began to sing, the judges were delighted and the audience was left amazed. “Do not judge anyone according to how they appear!”- This was something that was taught to everyone that moment. Susan’s pure voice and perfect performance has gathered a standing ovation even if she was just at the first part of the song. Truly amazing.
Ever since Susan's appearance on 'Britain's Got Talent', Elaine’s Radio 2 inbox has been flooded with emails. She has then suggested that she can record a duet with Susan. This would be some kind of a good news for Susan! Indeed, Elaine is right with her comment that Susan is "a role model for everyone who has a dream".
GLORY TO GOD FOR THIS PERFORMANCE!
God is using people to give us hope, no matter who we are, where we're from, and what we've been through.
"Being like a boat that keeps on sailing against the stormy winds.."
A month ago, my laptop was stolen...2 weeks ago, i lost my job....a day ago, my atm card was almost captured (a significant amount was lost-technical error- pero kahit na malaking abala un!).. minutes ago, i almost fell from my chair when i've felt our ministry in guinobatan was "shaking".... Why are all these things happening?
They need to happen...God is up to something so He allows them to happen..Everything has a purpose.. God is still in control..
Though sometimes i feel like i have done something wrong and all these are just the consequences of my errors, i feel tired.. i feel numb and confused of figuring out what did i do. I just realize that these are tests, not consequences.
Because of what are happening, i realize that there are 3 types of problems: consequence, test, temptation.
Consequence- we suffer from our own disobedience and irresponsibilities.
Test- we are taught to endure and after that, we grow and take higher steps for God's glory.
Temptation- coming from satan, from which our faith is tested.
Now, i am having the 2nd one. Test.
I have noted a lot of "assignments". I've prepared. Yet i need to re-do them. Got to repeat the process and finally get a perfect score.
I had my laptop 10 months ago. It was an investment from my separation payment from my previous company. I've got successful freelance jobs with that laptop. yet after 10 months, it's gone. And now i am starting from scratch.
I had a good freelance job for a while. I just work 2 hours a day. I thought my career in that company is getting better until last april 5, the door closed. I lost it. now i am starting from scratch.
I had a clear-cut goal for our ministry in Guinobatan. I was so inspired that i had designed a leadership training for the youth. At first we had a confirmation from 20 attendees. 1 week before the event, they're down to 10. Now, 2 days before the training, there are just 3. They are incoming freshmen and the day of the training was just perfectly the time for their cards, scholarship applications, and all that. Now, i need to start from scratch.
HIS THOUGHTS ARE HIGHER THAN MINE..AND DEFINITELY, HIS WAYS ARE BETTER THAN MINE.
I surrender them all to God. God knows the best things. I just need to listen to His instructions.
"Lord, whatever you want from my life, I am ready for you. You deserve it all. You own it all. Even the hands that keep me on working and playing music.. they all come from you. Praise you God. If you want me to start from scratch, so be it. I will still praise Your Name. I am ready for that thing that you want me to understand and learn...
Honestly, I am hurting God, but I praise you because you are worthy. You have undergone a worse way of hurting so why should i cry? Indeed God, i feel so blessed because you have taught me how to handle positivity under pressure. Praise you God. Praise You in everything. However God, i am asking for more wisdom to understand.. More faith to endure. You alone are God, and You are the only source of true wisdom and faith. Once again Lord, i thank you for searching for me.. for knowing me.. for understanding and forgiving me for so many times.. I love You Lord. I can make it through the storm..because i have You.. Please hold me tight God and never ever let me go.. in Jeus name.. amen"
Everything that God has made is a gift. My dog, amor, was a present given to me by my bestfriend aye during my 18th birthday. Surely, God wants me to learn something even with my pet. This is more likely about stewardship.
Apparently, God, through my bestfriend, entrusted me the life of amor. He has given me the freedom to do what i want to do with her. But with whatever it is that i plan about her, i am accountable for her security. This may sound absurd, weird, awkward, and the whole same thing... OA! However, knowing that everything that has breath has come from God, i am not ashamed at all to tell the world how thankful i am for the things, even the simplest ones. God is entrusting us a lot of things in a day (big and small) yet we don't realize that we are being held accountable of these things. We remain blind. Remember that we don't have a long time to stay on earth. Let us try to maximize our stay by giving importance to every single detail that God is showing us.
my prayer...
"Lord thank you for giving me the chance to live a normal life... thank you for the hands that help me handle my everyday agenda, for the feet that bring me wherever i need to go, for the brain filled with Your wisdom.. Thank You God "in everything". My Father, i always see you in every corner of this world. I realize how magnificent and amazing You are in our lives. I pray that other people will also realize how great You are.
Lord You have entrusted me a lot of things, thanks for trusting me. Who am i to be entrusted of these richness? Yet, in spite of my weaknesses, you still cared to be generous to me. Thanks for your grace. Thanks for your unconditional love. Lord as i go through the treacherous path of life, i ask for your guidance. I have plans but you own the throne, and your ways are better than mine. Lord You know where i am going to go, help me find the way to maximize everything that you have entrusted me. Thank you for using every single detail of my life to understand your teaching about responsible stewardship.. THank you for my dog, amor. You have used her for me to understand the "basics".
Sometimes I just wonder why everytime I ride a jeepney, my entrance song is…
Tonight I've fallen and I can't get up I need your loving hands to come and pick me up And every night I miss youI can just look up And know the stars are Holdin' you, holdin' you, holdin' you tonight
FM static is raising the roof over and over again. Everyone seems to sing “tonight” even if the sun is up and still striking it’s scorching sting.
So what’s with FM static?
Did you know that FM static is a side project of the band Thousand Foot Krutch? Trevor McNevan (vocalist) and Steve Augustine (drummer) are both originally from TFK, a popular Christian band that originated from Toronto. FM static and TFK are currently signed to Tooth and Nail Records, a label that allows Christian artists to create their art.
The song tonight is written by Trevor himself as a deeply expressive recollection of his much-missed brother who passed away. Truly, this guy is not just vulnerable when it comes to his vocal abilities but also with his heart. The softness of the heart of a Christian will always be reflected through his ways.
Someone like Trevor has become a good model for stewardship. Glory to God! We believe that more songs will be written by him in the future for God’s glory.
[special note: Though FM static members are Christians, be still and make sure that you sing their song (choose the right ones) for God and not for this world – or anybody else.]
Dyu to insistent pablik demand, minabuti ng Eucreo na pagpuyatan at pagbuwisan ng dugo at pawis pati na rin ng seryosong pagsusunog ng kilay ang artikulong ito. Kaya’t sa mga nabitin sa fityur tungkol sa gwapitong si BRIAN WELCH sa nakaraang isyu, kayo ay magalak dahil heto na ang mga susunod na kabanata..
ANG LAB NG ISANG BRIAN WELCH (part tu) by tsibitsu (hangong muli sa aking sulat para sa eucreo-march issue)
Sa dami ng nabitin sa kwento ni Brian Welch, ako ay tila naeksayt nang konti, dahil nawari ko na may nagbasa din pala ng sinulat kong ‘yon. Kaya naman binusisi ko pa nang lubusan ang bawat hibla ng nakaraan ni papa Brian para lamang dumami pa ang mainspayr, kahit na ako’y mapagkamalang stalker at may crush sa yummy daddy. Sa mga naatrak sa kanya, wag kang magpapahalata. Kumuha ka ng tubig at gamot pampakalma- mga sampung capsules para syur na walang paltos at epektib, parang supra feeds.
Sa aking masusing pananaliksik, aking napag-alamanan na si Brian ay tatlumpu’t walong taong gulang na. Pinanganak noong June 19, 1970. Opo! Bayaning bayani ang dating dahil kabertdey nya ang ating pambansang bayani na si Gat Jose Rizal.
ERLI LAYF
Si kuya Brian ay lumaki sa Bakershield, California (oo kapitbahay ko sya dati kaso dito na ako now sa LA >> legazpi albay) at noon pa mang sya ay di pa katandaan, nakahiligan na nya ang musika. Sya ay rakista na at magaling na gitarista noong sya ay sampung taong gulang pa lamang. Ang astig na si “head” (alyas ni kuya brian) ay nagkaroon ng unang gitara na ang brand ay “peavey Mystic” lang naman. Etong si kapatid na brian ay gusto sanang magtambol (drums) ngunit ang kanyang ama ay naiirita sa kaingayan kaya’t sinabi nito sa kanya na mas maganda kung gitara na lamang ang kanyang kalabit kalabitin araw gabi. Ang unang banda ni daddy brian ay tinawag na “pierct.”
PERSONAL LAYF
Ninais ko, at alam kong ninais mo rin na malaman ang personal na buhay ni daddy brian (umamin ka na!). Kaya heto na ang syur manyur na magpapalambot sa iyong tumitibok tibok at pumipintig pintig na atay at puso. Noong 1995, sya ay nagkaroon ng anak sa kanyang asawang si Rebekah ngunit sa napakasaklap na pagkakataon, ang kanilang anak ay ipinaampon ni bebekah. Sa pangalawang pagkakataon na sila ay binigyan ng Panginoon ng anak, nagdesisyon sila na huwag nang ulitin ang una na nilang ginawa sa panganay. Ang pangalawa nilang anak na si Jennea Marie Welch ay ipinanganak noong July 6, 1997.
Tulad ng aking naisulat sa unang isyu ng Eucreo, si brian ay dati nang adik at walang inatupag kundi humithit ng kung anu-ano. Kaya naman almusal, tanghalian, panggabi at ginagawa na rin nyang panghimagas ever at minsan pastaym na rin nya ang magtsungki sa tabi tabi. Si kuya brian noon
Kasabay niyon ang pagkanta at pagtugtog sa banda nyang Korn, na walang inatupag kundi ang gumawa ng musika tungkol sa kalaswaan, kasamaan at kung anu-ano pang kabadingan na lubos na sinuportahan ng manager na si satanas, kaya naman maraming pariwarang kabataan ang aliw na aliw sa kabaliwan ng banda.
Ngunit napakabuti talaga ng Maykapal dahil sa kabila ng lahat ng pagkalugmok na iyon ni Brian, sya ay nabigyan ng liwanag at muling ipinanganak bilang kapamilya ng mga mababait na kristiyano. Paano ito nangyari? Sabi ko na nga ba’t itatanong mo ito sapagka’t mayroong isa, dalawa, tatlo, apat, lima, anim… stil kawnting ang nangungulit sa akin tungkol dito. Kaya naman buksan ang iyong bilugang mata at isuot ang kulay pulang kontak lens kung meron man.
Si Brian ay hiniwalayan ni bebekah (o baket!) at naging single tatay mula noon. Isang araw, napansin ni daddy brian na ang kanyang limang taong gulang (noon) na bagets na si Jennea ay kumakanta ng mga sex lyrics mula sa kanilang kanta (nem!). Mula nang marinig nya iyon, si brian ay nawindang at napag-isip isip na tila oras na para iwan ang banda. Ngunit marami ang pumipigil sa kanya.
Isang araw, kahit normal na sa pagiging bangag itong si tatay brian, may isang kaibigang buong loob at kapalmuks na sumubok imbitahan sya na makijam sa kanilang church. Iyon ay pinaunlakan ni Brian at sa unang pagkakataon, sa loob ng napakahabang panahon, siya ay may kakaibang naramdaman. Syur na syur na hindi sya high ng mga panahong iyon. Doon na mismo ang naging simula ng pagbabago mula sa kanyang buhay adik. Ni hindi nya kinailangan magpa-rehab para mawala ang adiksyon. Lubhang napakatindi ng powers ni Lord para sa isang usang sugatan na tulad ni Brian. Ngayon, siya ay bagong nilalang na nagsisilbi sa Panginoon.Ninais ni Brian na tumaliwas ng landas, papalayo sa karangyaan at sa mga kinagisnang masayang barkada sa bandang Korn. Nagkaroon sila ng hindi pagkakaintindihan ng kyut na si Jonathan Davis (bokalista ng Korn) at patuloy na dumaan sa pagsubok matapos ang kontrobersyal na pagkasira ng banda. Ngunit pilit na ininda ito ni Brian dahil sa makabago nyang paniniwala. Lahat ng iyon ay iniwan nya sa Panginoon.
.Si Brian ay nagsulat ng libro at hindi pa ako bumibili nito. Subalit napagwari ko na mukang maganda ang nilalaman niyon. Ang mataray na titulo ng libro ay “saving from myself”. Dito niya isinalaysay ang kanyang makapigil hiningang testimonya na pihadong magbibigay inspirasyon sa lahat. Sa ngayon, peace na sila ng dating kaberks na si Jonathan at ng ibang myembro ng Korn. “ I love you guys..” , sambit ni kuya Brian sa banda sa isang interview nang matanong kung galit ba sya sa dalawang hate song para sa kanya ng Korn.
SI BRIAN NGAYON
Kung titingnan natin ang katawan ni kuya Brian, hindi lang ang kyut nyang muscles ang iyong mapupuna. Naroon din ang mga tattoo na naglalaman ng mga paborito nyang bersikulo sa bibliya. Bukod sa pagiging misyonaryo ni Brian, siya ay patuloy sa paglilingkod kay Lord sa pamamagitan ng musika.
Ang kanyang solo karir ay kasalukuyang namamayagpag sa iba’t ibang networks sa tate. Hindi man kasinlaki ng tinalikuran nyang 23 milyong dodododolyares sa bandang Korn ang kanyang kinikita sa kasalukuyan, hindi kailanman ipagpapalit ni Brian ang kasiyahang natagpuan nya sa ating Panginoon.
Maxwell said that, you are a leader if you see people following you whenever you look back...
It takes a lot of discipline before you retire from being a follower and lead people. It's hard to follow since from that moment already, you need to do the things that you may sometimes dont feel like doing. That's discipline! Doing something you don't want to do but you should do it anyway because it is the right thing, and it is for your best.
On the other hand, discipline is just one broad issue on this matter. Now let us make it even broader (haha). Leadership is a throne. However, it is your choice if you would sit on it or offer it to someone who needs to be benefitted out of it. Am i making it too complicated? What i am trying to point out is the the true kind of leadership that everyone of us should consider. This is SERVANT LEADERSHIP.
If you want to lead, you need to serve..
Leading is serving..
Whoever would be first among you must be servant of all. (Mk 10:42-44; Mt 20: 25-28)
I believe in the style of leadership that Jesus did. He was the greatest servant leader i've ever known! It is He, who is the reason why even 2000 years have passed, many still believe in His words. It is He who has discipled 12 effective apostles, who have later on established Godly and incomparable servant leadership. You and I are the product of the work of Jesus, the son of God.
If not because of Jesus' courage to lead, You and i would not have been aware of the good news. All of us are walking astray. That inspires me!
God has made a good model out of Lord Jesus.
Clothing himself with apron of humility and serve those who are in need; then putting on the towel around His waist to wash His disciples' feet, all these and more, Jesus did to show us all the RIGHT WAY TO SERVE AND LEAD.
I have been in the ministry for just a year or so and I am so thankful to God that He has changed my perspective regarding leadership.
Before, it was all me and my chair. I lead and as i accomplish things, all the credits and badges are "attached" unto my arm.
Such selfish and domineering acts were little by little crashed. I have understood the serving roles of a leader.
Servant leadership does not negate accountability nor responsibility. The service comes from the heart, and it is all out of compassion for the ones we are serving. We lead not because we need to, but because want to.
For how many times i tried to give the best shot. I did good for a couple of times. But i never felt the completeness from any work at all.
In the ministry, i have experienced the delight and incomparable fulfillment even with an inch of accomplishment. God does not look at how big or small our service is, what He is about is how big or our heart is when we are doing it.
"what's wrong.. i've tried so hard, yet it was not enough.."
I am talking about what happened with the ministry. We have been having a bible study in our house for about a year now, but our group has not yet grown. From 10 attendees, we are now 5. Others have gone abroad to work, including my brother.
I feel like I have not give it all to Him. I feel something has yet to be done but the problem is, i don't know what it is. BUT GOD KNOWS. That's why i keep on asking Him.
Later, i remember the letter that was given to me by one of the students in one bible study entrusted to me by God. I have read it for the nth time. However for the 1st time, i felt something deeper. God has used me for this kid. I never felt effective until then. Even for one soul, i felt God's purpose was fulfilled. Praise God.
His short letter has been integrated with 3 powerful words...
thank you.. sorry... i'll miss you..
For the past 2 months, God has allowed me to disciple this group of incoming freshmen and it was such a blessing to me. It was such a gift that i want to share with other people as well. I want to let you know that, nothing goes better than the fulfillment gathered from the service for God.
Those 3 words have touched me a lot. And the whole letter makes my heart fly. The unexplainable feeling rushed through my veins and I know, it was gladness. God gave me hope. He is my hope.
"Lord thank you for the opportunity to serve you. Thank you for enabling me to talk, move my hands, walk, see, hear..everything..
You are so wonderful. Teach me God how to maximize everything that You have given me. I believe You have lots of plans for me. Please help me understand your instructions. Give me your wisdom to understand your thoughts. I know that even though i'd try so hard, i can accomplish nothing if i don't have you. So God, consume me in and out. I plead you Lord.
Many times i want to give up, but You are my strength. You are the fortress that keep me from falling. You are my stronghold that keeps me standing. YOu are my shelter that protects me. You can everything that i used to abandon. I am sorry Lord for sometimes, i ignore YOu, I turn away from You. i sleep instead of talking to You. I work instead of raising my hand unto You. Sorry Lord if I've made you cry,
Thank you Lord for your grace. Father i know You won't give up on me. Thank you for the chance to give it back to You. I know you are not yet finished with me. I am ready for you God. Please hold me closer. In Jesus name.. Amen"
GRO AP! (wat is matyuriti?) by tsibitsu (ito ay hango sa aking sinulat para sa eucreo- march issue)
Nosebleeeeeed ka ba sa nakaraang isyu ng eucreo? Napansin mo bang puro English ‘yon? Well well well, nagbasa ka man o hindi, naki-emote ka man o nakitawa, nakibasa o nakisagot sa evaluweysyon islip .. humanda ka sa di mapigilang hininga’t hikab at umaatikabong rebelasyon na itatransleyt natin sa tagalog. Eto ang pinakabagong kolumn ng pinakakyut na publikasyon sa balat ng earth now.
Sa inyong lahat mga kapatid, mga kasambahay at ka-opismeyt, may ginagawa man o sadyang inaatake ng katamaran at tumatambay sa tabi tabi, sa mga nanonood ng wawawi (ang programang dapat ay pang adults only dahil sa pirapirasong damit ng ey-es-ef), sa mga humihilik at humahagikhik, sa mga nangingiti, nangangati at nanggagalaiti, sa lahat ng tao sa mundo, bigotilyo at bigotilya, mga machong papa sa lahat ng sulok at kalye, sa mga sigang ate sa kanto na hanep sa porma (pare pakiss.. yak!)… makinig kayong lahat!
Isang napakahalagang anunsyo sa papel na hinahawakan mo ngayon ang dapat pagtuunan ng pansin. Ito ay ukol sa isang napakahalagang katanungan: ILANG TAONG GULANG KA NA BA?
Opo, tama po ang katanungang ito (mala mike enriquez). Ako ay nasa katinuan pa naman at syur manyur, ito ang gusto kong malaman > gaano ka na ba katanda??
Sa mundo ng kanormalan na pinaghahatulan ng mga hukom na naka gown na itim, madalas natin marinig ang salitang menor de edad (minor age). Ito ay tumutukoy sa mga taong wala pa sa hustong gulang. Kung baga sa lalake, puro paglalaro ng batobatopiks o kaya basketbol ang nalalaman. Kung sa babae naman, ay yung puro pagpapakyut at walang ibang ginawa kundi ang makyutan sa mga kyut na dumadaan. At sa mga binatilyong kaloka sa ahit ang kilay, na walang magawa kundi rumampa sa mall ever. Gayundin sa mga dalagitang maton na panay ang pagdiskarte sa mga seksing tsiks sa mall din. Sila nga, sila nga ay ang mga wala pang muang sa mundong ibabaw.Kung hindi ka kabilang sa kanila, ano ka na? Madalas sabihin ng magugulang na magulang na kailangan mong magro ap (grow up). Mag-isip, mabuhay, at tumayo nang naka heels. Kung titingnan mo ang iyong sarili, kabilang ka na ba sa mayor de edad at hustong gulang na daw? Marami sa atin na naturingang adult eh umuurong sa pagiging infant. Parang bonjing na daig pa ang batang inagawan ng lolipap kung umatungaw at wag ka, sadyang hahanap ng kaaway para makipagbuntalan sa gitna ng kalye. Madalas ang buntalan na ito ay nauuwi sa demandahan sa korte o kaya naman, sa mga hindi ganun kasosyal, ay nauuwi sa pagdanak ng pulang likido na alam na nating humahantong sa inisan at tutukan ng taga at sairan ng tapang at ubusan ng lahi. Hay, kasingbabaw ng butas ng mister donut (o sige dunkin donut na rin) ang kaisipan ng mga pasaway na taong ito. Hindi ba’t dapat na wag gantihin ng masama ang masama? At Dapat magmahalan? Nakow, nasaan na nga ba ang tunay na kamatyuran.
Siguro’y nalilito na ang iyong utak na pilit gustong mag-hibernate muna hindi lang dahil sa init ng panahon ngayon kundi dahil sa puntong nais kong ipaalam. Nais ko lang naman ipabatid na seryoso ako sa aking pakikibaka at pakikipaglaban ng puntong ito. Sadyang masidhi ang aking paghihingapis dahil isa lamang ang aking nais iparating. GRO AP! (grow up!) - Ika nga ng magugulang na magulang. Minsan nga naman, may matitino din silang suhestyon, at yun yon!
Ngunit hindi nga? Mahirap ba maging matyur? (mature)
Sinasabing ang pagiging mature ay hindi naaayon sa pisikal na aspeto, kaya naman wala yan sa rinkels o kaya sa amoy. Hindi rin ito binabase sa edad o kaya naman sa dami ng librong nabasa. Lalong lalo nang hindi sa dami ng ulit ng pagkapanood ng twilight o harry potter na hindi ko mawari kung bakit adik ang marami. Ang matyuriti ay tungkol sa ATTITUDE. Oo, attitude o karakter. Meron ka ba nyan? Ang ating Amang nasa langit ay tumitingin sa ating karakter at hindi sa medalya o layfsays na trofi sa cabinet ng iyong mama.
Heto ang tseklist para malaman mo kung ikaw ay may ATTITUDE!
POSITIBO SA MGA ORAS NG KANGARAGAN – dito nasusubok ang iyong pananalig sa Diyos. Kayang kaya mo bang bumanat ng todo kahit ikaw ay nanghihina? Kaya mo bang ibigay ng husto at manatiling umaangkin ng katagumpayan dahil naniniwala ka na sumasaiyo ang pinakamalakas na back-up na si Hesus? Esep esep.
SENSITIBONG PARANG PIMPOL- Ikaw ba ay sadyang hindi manhid sa mga tao sa paligid? Puwes! Kailangan mong maging tulad ng isang pimpol o pigsa na madampian lang ng kahit sing-pirasong square millimeter ay aaray! Kailangan maging concerned sa mga tao sa iyong paligid. Yan ang tunay na kamatyuran. Magmahalan tayong lahat!
3. HINDI BASAGULERO O BUNGANGERA- ang isang matyur na tao ay pismeyker. Hindi sya naghahanap ng away sa kanto or kung saang suluk sulok. Marunong syang magsaayos ng kaguluhan. Hindi na baleng magulo at kasintigas ng alambre sa sampayan ang emo-emohan nyang buhok, basta’t ang kanyang puso ay mapagmahal sa kapayapaan. Ang Diyos ay sadyang nalulugod sa mga taong ganito.
4. MAPAGPASENSYA AT MADASALIN- ang taong matyur ay pinagkakalooban ng Diyos ng malawak na pang-unawa at mahabang pasensya. Ang peysyens (patience) ay hindi direktang ibinibigay ng Maykapal dahil sabi nga sa ‘evan almighty’, bibigyan ka ng Ama ng pagkakataon upang masubukan ang iyong peysyens, hindi Nya ibibigay sau ang peysyens na nakabalot sa makintab na gipraper at may card pa! haler! Tumawag ka lamang sa Kanya at siguradong hindi sya mauubusan ng load para magtext back. Pramis!
Matapos mong itsek ang mga dapat itsek sa apat na ito (nawa ay mayroon kahit isa man lang o kalahati), nais kong icongratulate ka dahil ikaw ay nasa proseso ng pagiging matyur. At para malaman mo, malaman nya, malaman nating lahat – Ito ang tunay na karangalan sa mata ng Ama! Walang halaga ang rekognisyon ng mundong ito o kahit anong gantimpala sa mga patimpalak kung wala kang attitude! Sa buhay na ito, hindi mahalaga ang yaman ng mundo o ang tindi ng IQ ng isang tao, dahil para sa ating Bosing sa heaven, ang PUSO ang kanyang sinasaliksik. Kaya tayo na! Gro ap na!
Such a hard task to consider isn’t it? Have you ever experienced it when somebody seems to push himself/herself to you to the extent that even an innocent child would tell you at his high pitch accent, “is he okay? Don’t you think he likes you?” So obvious that you just can’t get enough of the annoyance.
Have you ever been annoyed that way? How did you handle it? Or perhaps, how are you handling it?
Some people may not have the capacity to hide their feelings. One of your suitors might be like that. You might have felt like you are being stalked by someone who knows every detail in your resume, back to back. He/she even browse your friendster account everyday! It’s like if ever this person is right in front of you, you would probably pull out his eyes because of the dangerous obsession that he is actually having in you. But, would you do that? I guess not!
You might be trying to be nice to this person because you think that it is the right way to do and as a God-fearing child, you do not want to hurt anyone’s feeling. But then, when the level of annoyance rises each day, how can you get rid of getting sick of it?
Sometimes, you just pray to God every morning that you will not see this person for the whole day. However, does getting rid of that person would make it right? You see, a sickness can be cured temporarily with a tablet of a drug, but in time, the sickness will get back. What is necessary then is to get into the root and pull it out!
What I am trying to tell you is to talk to the person face to face and tell him/her the truth in the gentlest way you can. The emotions are uprooted from the heart and mind, so you need to make a way to see both through. Talk as if you are a brother or a sister. You see, God has made us all, and we all come from God. No matter what the arguments are, the truth that “we are brothers and sisters” will never be trashed. The loved ones in your house are not your only family, you belong to God’s family, and even the person you hate belongs to it.
How will you do the conversation? When talking to this person, bring your attention to the image of your “loved one” seated before you. Recognize that you label him/her “loved one” and think well of her. Now realize that there are some people in this world who do not like your “loved one”. Most people may even hate your “loved one”. They may have hated your “loved one” because of the color of his/her skin, gender, religion, or even the tone of voice. Some may be jealous of his/her abilities, or her possessions. For whatever reason, think that due to the imperfection of your “loved one”, some people consider him/her as an enemy.
Later on, you can bring your attention to the image of an “enemy,” or a “disagreeable person.” . He is imperfect. So are you. But no matter how imperfect he is, that person on the other side of him is a perfect father, brother, teacher, and friend. You see, he is not bad at all!
People are imperfect. You are imperfect. No one has the right to condemn anybody. Why won’t you try loving someone you hate. Consider him/her as a family. There might be a perfect reason to hate him/her but behind that disagreeable person are greater reasons to love him/her.
No perfect love has ever been available for everyone except the one given from above. We must not hate a person no matter how annoying he/she is. He is not perfect, neither you. But God loved you even if you are imperfect.

Four months ago, i was referred by chaunna to kevin finney (the CEO of frequentprofits). It was quite a great journey with the company. Honestly, I have learned a lot about SEO. It was a wonderful team and i really appreciate the machines used to let us grow as SEO experts. These are some of the reasons why i feel bad about the reorganization of FP. I will miss the team and the ever-patient sir kevin.
EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A PURPOSE

KoRn is an American nu metal band that originated from Bakershield, California. This has been among the hottest bands around the globe in the mid 1990’s and early 2000s. If you are a teenager and you don’t know which band this one is, better ask your older brother or sister for they surely have something to say.
“The band’s catalogue consists of nine consecutive debuts in the top ten of the Billboard 200,[3] including a compilation album, Greatest Hits Vol.1, and their untitled eighth album, released on July 31, 2007. To date, Korn has sold over 30 million albums worldwide, including 16.5 in the U.S.,[4] while earning six Grammy nominations—two of which they have won.” – wikipedia KoRn has become popular for their obscene lyrics that mostly talk about death, suicide, sex, and other ungodly ideals. Such works definitely reflect the negative characters of the band members. The teens were so crazy about this band. Go check it out in the internet.
Among the most important people rocking in KoRn was Brian Welch, also named “head”. Indeed, Brian was like a lost sheep (you can find lots of information about this man in the internet too.) He was so exposed to the sins of this world. He was once a dependant on methamphetamine, xanax, and sleeping pills. This man used to sing and play the guitar to worship the god of this world, and surely, he was completely out of the way then.
Who would’ve thought, that a person like Brian will get a new way? Few years ago, his mouth is like a spring of stinky words of satan, but now, he utter a never-ending thanks for the grace that he has received from above.
Brian, before taking a walk with Jesus Christ, had a lot of heartbreaking decisions to make. He had to leave the band that he has been with for more than a decade. He had to turn down the multi-million projects ahead. He had to get rid of the fame and wealth that are promised to him if he’ll just stay with the band. All of these, he gave up for Christ.
If you are Brian, would you do the same? Well, you’ll never know it, until you experience what he has experienced, until you find what he has seen, until you feel what‘s tugging inside of him. Experiencing God in our life is a complete mystery, but nothing feels better than that. There are many “Brian Welch” in this world who are imperfect and weak, yet, God can reveal Himself to any lost sheep. Noone is bad enough to God if you are willing to let Him take control of your life.
God wants fellowship with us and we are so privileged to be with a God like Him, considering that we are just His creation.
Can you work and then share your blessings to the street children or to the ministries of God in churches? Can you do that? I guess you can, however, it might be hard. But it is possible.
Susan Boyle’s popularity is continuously raising the roof, as millions of internet viewers make significant hit on the counter of her channels in youtube and other video sites. Among the most important parts of the video was her honest confession about her admiration for Elaine paige as a singer. How did Miss Paige react on this?
The outstanding performance of the 47-year-old unmarried church volunteer has won a legion of fans around the world. She has totally given justice to the song “Dreamed A Dream” from Les Miserables. Susan has got 3 YES’s from the judges, counting “the best” yes that Piers Morgan has ever given in the past three seasons of the show.
“Do not judge anyone according to how they appear!”- This was something that was taught to everyone that moment. Susan’s pure voice and perfect performance has gathered a standing ovation even if she was just at the first part of the song. Truly amazing.
"Lord, whatever you want from my life, I am ready for you. You deserve it all. You own it all. Even the hands that keep me on working and playing music.. they all come from you. Praise you God. If you want me to start from scratch, so be it. I will still praise Your Name. I am ready for that thing that you want me to understand and learn...
full-body, artistahin!
