HAPPY 15th BIRTHDAY TO MY COUSIN, YNA! (:

tinay. (:
8:47 PM

We went @ Circle Island (for the second time this summer). Day Swimming. Then we SM Molino. Ate @ Tokyo Tokyo. NBS. Kids played somewhere while we look for something to spend our money with. But we found nothing. HAHA! Went home. Kwentuhan with my cousins (which WE always enjoy). Toasted Bread + Egg + Ham + Hotdog + Melon Juice = Yummy Snacks! Internet. Dinner. Sleep. (:

I learned that happiness is really a choice...

I learned that when we look at someone, we should look at the beauty in him/her (even if, for you, he/she has the worst personality on Earth)...

-I guess Erika knows why I realized this-

So that's my Saturday, 05/27/06 :)

I read the story The Tale Of Three Trees a while ago. It was so nice. Click HERE to read the story yourself. :)

Here's another story...

One day a 6 year old was sitting in a classroom. The teacher was going to explain evolution to the children. The teacher asked a little boy,

TEACHER: Tommy do you see the tree outside?

TOMMY: Yes.

TEACHER: Tommy, do you see the grass outside?

TOMMY: Yes.

TEACHER: Go outside and look up and see if you can see the sky.

TOMMY: Okay. (He returned a few minutes later) Yes, I saw the sky.

TEACHER: Did you see God?

TOMMY: No.

TEACHER: That's my point. We can't see God because he isn't there. He just doesn't exist.

A little girl spoke up and wanted to ask the boy some questions. The teacher agreed and the little girl asked the boy,

LITTLE GIRL: Tommy, do you see the tree outside?

TOMMY: Yes

LITTLE GIRL: Tommy do you see the grass outside?

TOMMY: Yessssss!

LITTLE GIRL: Did you see the sky?

TOMMY: Yessssss!

LITTLE GIRL: Tommy, do you see the teacher?

TOMMY: Yes.

LITTLE GIRL: Do you see her brain?

TOMMY: No.

LITTLE GIRL: Then according to what we were taught today in school, she must not have one!

"FOR WE WALK BY FAITH, NOT BY SIGHT"

"I believe in God, but not as one thing, not as an old man in the sky. I believe that what people call God is something in all of us. I believe that what Jesus and Mohammed and Buddha and all the rest said was right. It's just that the translations have gone wrong."

-John Lennon

I remembered something from Angels and Demons. It says, "We have different gods. But we all search for one thing. TRUTH."

AYOS!

7:30am ay nagising kami upang maghanda sa pagsisimba. Almusal. Ako ang naghugas. Nakarating kami roon 15 minuto bago mag-umpisa. Ayos, may upuan! Nangako ako sa sarili ko na sisiryosohin ko ang pagsisimbang ito dahil nga naman isang beses sa isang buwan na lamang ako nakakapagsimba. Minsan ay di ko man lang naiisip na iilang beses na nga lang ako nagsisimba ay hindi ko pa rin ito sinisiryoso. Nag-umpisa na ang Misa. Himala dahil nakikinig ako. Sumasagot. Kumakanta kung alam ko ang kanta. Mayroong mga pagkakataong nawawala ang konsentrasyon ko. Pero ayos pa rin! First time kong ginawa ito. Makinig sa napakahabang homily kahit boring. Magdasal nang taimtim pag sinabi ng pari na magdasal. Pigilan ang pagdadaldal. Natapos na ang Misa. Proud ako sa sarili ko. Ngayon ko lamang natutunang i-appreciate ang essence ng pagsisimba. Ayos!

10:30am ay nakabalik na kami sa bahay ng pinsan ko kung saan ako nagbabakasyon.

11:00am ay umalis muli kami at pagdating ng 12:00pm ay nakarating na kami sa Airport. Hinintay namin ang tita ko na galing sa Cagayan de Oro. Tsk, 1:00pm pa pala ang arrival nila, ayon sa monitor sa tapat namin. Kwentuhan kami ng pinsan ko. Nagutom kami kaya't bumalik muna kami sa kotse. Kumain ng hamburger at Pinipig. Sa wakas ay naaninag na namin ang tita ko. Ayos!

2:00pm ay nakarating naman kami sa may Hobbies of Asia. Namili sila roon at ipinaluto ang mga iyon sa isang restaurant sa Seaside. Nakakatuwang isipin na hindi na ata ako allergic sa hipon at pusit. Busog! Ayos!

3:30pm ay natapos kami, hinanap namin ang kotse. Nasa tapat pala ito ng Active Fun. Titignan lang dapat namin kung ano iyon nang mapasubo kami. Naglaro roon ang dalawa kong pinsan, P175/kada tao/isang oras. Kailangan pa nilang bumili ng medyas. Kami naman ay nag-order ng apat na mais con yelo, cappucino, at brewed coffee. Kwentuhan. Sentro ng usapan namin ang The Da Vinci Code. Pagboboyfriend. Pag-aasawa. Ambisyon. "Ang OA naman nung mga nagsasabing anti-Christ ang Da Vinci Code!"..."Okay lang magkaboyfriend, basta wag lang masyadong maiinlove."..."Kung mag-aasawa kayo, wag kayong pipili ng mayaman. Mas maganda kung sabay kayong yayaman. Kaysa naman pipiliin niyo yung mga magulang lang nila ang mayaman."..."Kung pipili kayo ng trabaho, hindi niyo dapat gawing goal ang pagyaman, dapat kung saan kayo komportable."...Ayos!

5:00pm ay umalis na kami roon. Habang nakaupo ako sa kotse ay pinakikinggan ko ang kanta sa radyo. Ang ganda! Eto iyon...

Sorry For The Stupid Things

Sometimes we wish for the better

When we have it good as it gets

Sometimes the grass isn't greener

Sometimes we find out we forget

Sometimes the fool doesn't know he's a fool

Sometimes a dog he don't know he's a dog

Sometimes I do stupid things to you

When I really don't mean it all

Sometimes a man

Just don't be a man

It's not an excuse

It's just how it is

Sometimes the wrong

Don't know that they're wrong

Sometimes the strong

Ain't always so strong

Sometimes a girl Is gon' be a girl

She don't wanna deal with all the drama in your world

God knows I don't mean to give it to you

So girl I'm sorry for the stupid things I wish I didn't do but I do

Oh so sorry, oh no, oh so sorry

Sometimes I wish I was smarter

Wish I was a bit more like you

Not making stupid decisions made at the last minute

You live to regret when it's through

Well, sometimes the fool doesn't know he's a fool

And sometimes a dog he don't know he's a dog

Sometimes I do stupid things to you

When I really didn't mean it all

Sometimes a man

Just don't be a man

It's not an excuse

It's just how it is

Sometimes the wrong

Don't know that they're wrong

Sometimes the strong

Can't always be strong

Sometimes a girl

Is gon' be a girl

She don't wanna deal with all the drama in your world

God knows I don't mean to give it to you

So girl I'm sorry for the stupid things I wish I didn't do but I do

Sometimes the fool doesn't know he's a fool

Sometimes a dog he don't know he's a dog

Sometimes I do stupid things to you

When I really didn't mean it at all, at all

I can't think of anything with sense to write about. haha. Uhm. *isip mode* Ah. Alam ko na. May naisip akong gusto ko ishare.

EFFECTIVE PALA!

It may seem funny for some people seeing/hearing someone praying. Oo nga naman, sabi nila, bobolahin muna si Jesus at pagkatapos nun, manghihingi lang pala. Tama nga naman talaga sila. haha. Ako din naman kasi ganun. Natatawa. Dati. Oo, dati.

Nagbago ang pananaw ko sa pagdarasal nang masubukan kong gawin ito. "Wow, effective!", ang mga salitang tangi kong nasabi. Nahiya tuloy ako kay Jesus.

Kung iisipin niyo na maaaring coincidence lang na nagkatotoo ang ipinagdasal ko ay nagkakamali kayo. Muli ko itong sinubukan. Wow. Effective pa rin. Kaso, siguro nagtatampo na si Jesus sa 'kin kasi nagdadasal lang ako pag may kailangan ako sa kanya. Well, iba talaga siya dahil kahit gano'n ay pinagbibigyan niya ko. From the heart naman kasi yung pagdarasal ko. HAHA.

Ngayon, naniniwala na ako sa Kanya. He can do miracles. Simple ones. Tama nga. Dahil sa pagdarasal, napapalapit tayo sa Kanya. Siguro yun yung paraan na ginagamit niya sa'tin para lalong mapatatag yung faith natin sa kanya.

Trust me, effective ang prayer. Hindi ako relihiyosa. Hindi ako mahilig magsimba. Hindi ako mahilig magrosaryo. Hindi ako mahilig magdasal. Boring ang mga yun para sa kin. Pero, naniniwala na ko sa presence Niya. And someday, I hope I can proudly say, "I have strong faith."

Yesterday I watched AIR CRASH INVESTIGATION in NGC.

They're having an investigation about the air crash (haha!) of Egypt 990(?) almost seven years ago. The researchers underwent a number of studies to know the cause of that incident.

One of the most possible scenarios they concluded is that the co-pilot INTENTIONALLY made the plane crash. You may wonder where the pilot is, he's in the comfort room. The co-pilot is the only one in the cockpit. And when the pilot went back, he repeatedly asked, "What's happening?". But then he got no answer, except hearing the words, "I RELY IN GOD."

If that scenario is true, then the co-pilot murdered almost 216 persons and had committed SUICIDE.

SUICIDE

POVERTY. SEARCH FOR AFFECTION. FAMILY. LOVE. solution? SUICIDE.

DYING is not the solution. KILLING YOURSELF is not the solution. Di ba dapat ang problema ang pinapatay? Hindi ang namomroblema.

Pag nagpakamatay ka, hindi mo ba alam na mas mabigat na problema ang papasanin mo? At iyon ang buhay impyerno.

As they say, when you have a very big problem, tell to it, "HEY. I HAVE A BIGGER GOD!".

Sabi nila, "Bakit ko pa kailangan mabuhay kung nabubuhay naman ako sa isang napakainit na apoy?". Oo nga naman. Bakit pa? Ngunit sa kabilang banda, itanong mo na rin, BAKIT HINDE?

Suicide...usong-uso ngayon. How stupid are those who do that. Kill yourself to kill your problems? Stupid act. Poor you, coward people. Sayang ang mga pangarap niyo. Sayang ang mga natutunan niyo. Sayang ang oras na ginugol upang malikha kayo. Sayang ang buhay na binigay Niya. Sayang.

Quote from Chuck Palahniuk:
"You have a choice. Live or die. Every breath is a choice. Every minute is a choice. To be or not to be."

Quote by Bill Maher:
"Suicide is man's way of telling God, 'You can't fire me-I quit.'"

Quote by Charles Colton:
"Suicide sometimes proceeds from cowardice, but not always; for cowardice sometimes prevents it; since as many live because they are afraid to die, as die because they are afraid to live."

REMEMBER, SUICIDE IS A PERMANENT SOLUTION TO A TEMPORARY PROBLEM. WHY KILL YOURSELF? LIFE WILL DO IT FOR YOU.
