TODAY IS MY MOM’S BIRTHDAY
Happy Birthday Nanay!
I heard your voice just now
When I call home to greet you
A special and happy day
To you my mother for your birthday
We talked about how it was
Your life now I know you enjoy the most
With your friends and business matters
You’re blessed in life with cause
We talked while Nathan sleeps
Beside me having a deep breathe
It seems its my turn now
To look after a child
Oh dear mother
Thank you
For the love
With this love I now share
To my family
Our family gave me a perfect definition for love
And for this, I gave it to my family too.

THE BEST THING OF BEING A DAD
The best thing of being a dad is that you realized how much your parents had loved you.
Nathan just turned 13-month old. He now got a lot of tricks which really make everyone laugh and be amused with him. He learned a lot really! To whom? I don’t know exactly.
But you might not believe me, I think I learned a lot from him than he learned from me. Yes, its true.
Taking care of him made me realize that how fragile and much attention needed this little baby requires. As much as possible you don’t want him to get hurt or anything that will make him irritated, or even cry. Its hard to know the reason of every cry he made, with or without tears. You really need to spend time with him to know and understand what he wants.
I wonder how many parents out there spend time with their kids. Or rather how much time they spend with their kids.
I know someday Nathan will have friends, and there will come a time that he what to spend most of his time with them than with me and Irene. When this time comes, I will let him enjoy it and trust that he will still come home with us…. a result of spending much time to him now.

SERVING THE LORD
As a student leader, serving means having a leadership power. I always strive for position in any of the organization that I been too. I had the confidence that I will always be in the officer role because of my leadership ability. For me, leadership is serving … leadership means you’re in control.
But God changed my views. He showed me that serving Him does not mean having control over His people but rather be a role model for them. Because of this you become a leader… as they follow your righteousness.
Serving God also is not about your action… but your intentions. We serve him because we want to take part of His plan of Salvation. He will use you for His action… and this is what we call evangelization.
“Serving the Lord is not about you having control but rather your willingness to the Will of the Lord”- Tito Tony Meloto

TRIALS ARE NOT TRIALS AT ALL
We usually say that whenever there’s a problem, or someone is in deep trouble, that “don’t worry God is testing you”. Or is HE?
This is what I think about it, before we say that it’s a test from God let’s check first if we really did what right thing expected from us. Sometimes what we thought a TEST is really a result of what we did wrong.
After we free ourselves from wrong doings then we can now say that our trials are tests from God.
WE ARE JUST PASSING THROUGH
You might had heard this before, if not most of the time: Our life on earth is just temporary. But indeed it is true. We are just passing through to this life in order to prepare for the real life -- which is eternity
Imagine the vegetables that you are about to cook. How much time do you spend to check the freshness of the vegetables, not to mention the procedure of washing it and selecting the good ones out from the bad ones. Our life here on earth is just a mere process of preparation.
If you are a newly hired employee of a multinational company, you will first undergo a thorough orientation and training before you start your actual job. They want to make sure that before you start your work, you know by heart everything about the company and to ensure that you will work according to their procedure. The same thing with our life as God wants us to prepare “the work” waiting for us in His kingdom.
I remember my first job interview. I am fully aware that they require someone who had related experience before. Although I know that I am not qualified as per their work experience requirement, my interest pushed me to pursue to apply. By the way, the job was salesperson in a music store! I imagine myself playing all the musical instruments that on that store all day long.
Right on the very first question, I was jumbling my words trying to connect it to what my nervous mind was thinking. It was the famous “Tell me something about yourself?”. I won’t tell what my answers are because until now whenever I remember it my skin hairs rise up in embarrassment. It’s all because I am not prepared!
Performers spend most of their time practicing for their next act. They just want to make sure that when the real performance comes they can portray perfectly their act. If you are going to ask them, they surely enjoyed their time during practices even with trials and challenges. But there’s nothing more worth it during the actual presentation itself.
Our life here on earth is just a preparation for our real life with our Creator.

We Are All Travelers
Framed in some hotel room, these verses I found so inspiring:
"We are all travelers. From 'birth till death' we travel between the eternities. May these days be pleasant for you, profitable for society, helpful for those you meet, and a joy to those who know and love you best."
We don't know how long we are going to travel. What matters more is in which direction you are travelling.
Just in case you had decided, focus on it until you reached it. Each journey is not pleasant as it seems to be. But don't worry, everythings will be alright when you're there. AS PROMISED!
Why Black?
Black is the color of darkness.
Darkness exist in the absence of light.
We usually associate black with dark and evil, the opposites of light and good.
In life, dark period means great sorrow and pain.
Without its opposite, we cannot appreciate the other. Therefore the existence of both are essentials.
Black makes the white colored text more important.
And also, I just learned from a someone that using black on your screen saves more power.
See, there are more reason why we need to understand its existence.
Starting...
time flies
days passed
everything's gone
only memory remains
whether happy or sad
joy or pain
only thing I know
things happen for a reason
write to remind myself
of the past,
the learnings from it
write to inspire...
I write about how great HE is!
