We condemn the forces of evil that cause war and destruction to humanity. Lord, we are nothing without You. We know that there is nothing impossible with You if we only call on You. Grant Lord, that inspite of our human frailties, You will not give up on us. We know that we failed You many times, but we believe that your faithfulness and mercy , to those who call on your name with humility , will never fail. Help us in our aim to be good citizens of this earth so that we may be worthy citizens of the paradise You promise us one day. Thank you ,God ,for your loving mercy. Thank you for giving us Jesus and Mary as our Mother. We continue to pray for the victims of war and injustices,oh God. We know that in Your perfect time, You will renew the face of the earth. Give us strength and courage to face life each day with the hope that we will commit real peace in a world that You richly provide. All glory and honor to thee, our God,You who lives and reign,forever and ever.

Ganito pala ang pakiramdam kapag malayo ka sa mga taong mahalaga sa'yo. They become a part of your imagination nalang. Yung kapag nakakakita ka ng mga ganitong moments, you can't help but feel envious and thought of the friends you have known all your life. FRIENDS..hindi kelangang may adjective before its word..true, best, good..but the most important is the main word "friend". People you share selflessly laughs and frowns, they who always make you feel "you belong" and it doesn't matter whether they change along with time. Time make them stronger, wiser, and even happier .What's worth remembering now is once in my life, I was whole from pieces. </div>

When you wake up and don't feel the love (that you only know) to your partner, it's not about that sad feeling.. for love never leaves. The truth is, it's only to deceive your heart, so that you'll learn that true love isn't solely based on feelings but with years- it's in commitment. Everything has a learning process..even in knowing what love is all about.<br />
<br />
Why there are so many broken vows nowadays? It's because we have not gone far enough to discover the real essence of a love. We are too weak to go on with time and end up hurting each other.<br />
<br />
"You hurt your partner because you are finding your own selfish way out. You believe you have the command to defend your stupid feeling and you are actually caught in the bait of it."Love is not just a matter of heart, it's both the mind and the heart ..that's why there is a word called "sanity". Once you leave your partner because you think you fall out of love..you are a big wrong.Your misconception of love leads you to finding someone new because you define love so poorly and that you must know."<br />
<br />
We are perfect examples of imperfections and thus we admit our human frailties, we stop from there.<br />
<br />
Marriage is not created for a love to be temporal. The vow is made for us to realize that we need to grow even more in love every single day and that each waking hour is another discovery to the real meaning of it. The real triumph in all forms of relationships can only be tested by time.. no more, no less.<br />
<br />
And so for you who feel broke, I wish words were good enough to let you know that it's never your lost. It's just the kind of someone who hasn't realized your worth.evhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04400584333382188106noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18604309.post-43161755367047928992014-08-31T03:50:00.004+08:002014-08-31T03:50:48.731+08:00a resolute life"Everything has its own purpose under heaven."<br />

There'd been countless of stories in life that even when you don't have to write them literally, they show us everywhere around us; circumstances that are happy, happier, happiest; sad, sadder, saddest..we all go through the superlatives. But after all these, we are honed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While I was recuperating from having miscarriage, I saw how the atmosphere in the house would likely swallow me whole. The house was messy, my husband ate instant meals because I had yet enough energy to attend the kitchen and worst.. left alone in the silence corner of our room, dealt with the excruciating pain both physically and emotionally because my husband had to go back to work. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now that I feel better, thanks be to God that my husband and I are strong enough to have moved on. Faith, hope, and love are the essentials of these all. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We keep going. To God be the glory!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Life is beautiful.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ciao..ci vediamo!</div>

Think instead always that you are a gift, meant to be shared so that your life will have grand meaning. Only in an open mind can one find true happiness and contentment in his heart."<br />
<br />
This is what I learn from Mitch Albom's "Tuesdays with Morrie." And that you just have to enjoy each birthday and each season of your life because each has great contribution to what you will become when old age comes.<br />

Trying the blogosphere again. I hope this works. It's been a while.<br />
<br />
Where was I? I was so in hurry to make my life always on-the-go with work and personal life. And I wonder if I did not miss a moment and people. Whatever way God courses my life now, only He can tell and direct. I just feel now that I just want to serve my God all my life... through the ordinary days to extraordinary ones where the orbit now points to a foreign land.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Our almighty and everliving God, we thank you for this another year, 2014.. for giving us everyday the opporunity to enjoy the gift of life. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Lord, there are times when we put you aside out of our busy days. These days when we are too overwhelmed over material wealth and earthly desires. Even all these acts result to our abuse to our environment and disregard to human dignity. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We firmly ask Lord that despite our human frailties, you will not give up on us. And that your love and mercy will overshadow us always in this life that You so richly provide.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We lift to you all our fears, anxieties, and our weaknesses. Guide us always with your wisdom so that our actions will lead to knowing and doing what is just and right. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Unite all your people Lord, that we may be in one in making this world a better place for us today and the next generations. Change our values, our attitudes towards our family, our workplace, our society into what is pleasing to you, where everything is motivated with humility and love.</span></div>

<br />
A month after, I slowly learned to find my lot, slowly building friendship with co-workers, but not with our principal. He was being feared by everybody for his strict implementation of the school policies and most of all, his fearless discipline towards his teachers. He wouldn't care to have you embarrassed during a meeting if you couldn't meet his expectation. On one occasion, my male co-teacher and I were in his office, one morning, for a confrontation. My co-teacher cried in front of him but I... never. I managed to keep my composure though deep inside I was hurting. Sometimes, his character was unbelievable. He would refuse to listen to your reason and believe only on his own.<br />
<br />
But when I got home, I cried buckets in silence. I thought of giving up but my will to stay prevailed. I told myself, he's just a challenge. I must not let him simply win. I have to keep going.<br />
<br />
I wouldn't mind finding him almost always outside my classroom, observing how I managed my class and gave lecture. I wouldn't mind him, getting inside in one of my classes, doing unannounced observation. His stare could kill if you would not stick your courage to a sticking place.<br />
<br />
Those were moments, I had very little anticipation with on being in the teaching profession. Those times when I must simply be the confident master of my own work inside the classroom but there are people around haunting your concentration as if ready to devour you at any moment because you couldn't perfect your job.<br />
<br />
If this is the kind of environment I would be dealing with everyday of my life, I must find ways. I want to be happy with my job. I want to be happy while with my pupils, as we learn together, each day.<br />
<br />
Just when I thought already of leaving my post as the school year ended, it was the circumstance already that found way for me to stay. Our dear principal left his job to finally retire as he too was in conflict with his superiors.<br />
<br />
It was a relief. God always finds a way.evhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04400584333382188106noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18604309.post-35428504918949988192013-06-24T10:21:00.005+08:002013-06-25T07:54:21.310+08:00the job<br />

(A recap..)<br />
<br />
Welcome to my first day in the teaching profession.<br />
<br />
There were thirty 5th graders under my advisory. Noise was airing from two other classrooms next to where I was heading. I was still on the hallway halfway off to my advisory class. As I stepped on the doorway, all eyes were on me. And the silence was deafening for awhile. I did greet casually putting my voice in a not much high tone in order to be heard until the last person seated at the back. They responded in a much higher tone. "Ok, please take your seat." They sat while eyes still on me.<br />
<br />
I knew that day would be one of the toughest circumstances I would have in a classroom setting. Had the previous teacher did not get married and went abroad to be with her husband, she would have been their adviser still. And I wouldn't find myself in a situation where I would be coping with their anxieties about who and how this new teacher in front of them would appear to be in the middle of school year. I knew then, it was an adjustment on the pupils part as much as in mine. But I felt a no way out. I needed the job.<br />
<br />
I introduced myself on a lighter mode and more bubbly gesture to at least make them feel at ease. I could not read their mind as of the moment. I plainly saw normal reactions in their countenance. I asked each to introduce themselves shortly to me too. Some stood shy while others went confident and funny. I ended the session with only trying to get acquainted with them at least in a way. And as I went out of the classroom, I felt a big deep breath like a stone just falling into my diaphragm. I was thinking already what impression the pupils might have on me. I couldn't help from feeling there would probably be a big comparison about who's better between me and the teacher who left.<br />
<br />
Just when I thought that my adjustment will just be inside my new advisory class, I was a big wrong. There was a bigger challenge at hand inside the faculty room. Being new, I was quiet, a bit shy, and could only manage a friendly smile. They were nice and friendly for sure. However, one of them being the head teacher, was a bit strict that I must earn her trust.evhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04400584333382188106noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18604309.post-10280438316808498052013-06-04T09:51:00.000+08:002013-06-04T09:51:14.619+08:00a child..<span style="background-color: white; color: #37404e; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">This song reminds me of my rowdy student each time his father would come to me to get his report card.

For non-linguist individuals, we are not aware with what is grammatically correct for as long as we end up being understood by the ones we are conversing with. But sometimes as non-native speakers of English, we have to put consciousness to our thoughts in the context of speaking to somehow avoid language barrier between two opposing point of views.</span><br />

<br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">The invasion of Americans and Spaniards brought too much influence to the evolution of language in the Philippines. And because of this, Filipinos seem to be the most easy to get adapted with their languages. Even reaching to a point of forgetting to speak our own language in straight manner. We unconsciously get to speak "taglish" if not appearing to be "konyo" individuals.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">In my roaming around the blogosphere, I noticed that out of 100% Filipino bloggers, about 80% uses foreign language. While the remaining percentage are those who still advocate the use of Tagalog which is more conventional of course. Because of this fact, it simply shows that we, Filipinos, are the ones easy to learn foreign language esp. the English language. The only sad thing out of it perhaps is that, going beyond that wit, we even forget the </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: italic; line-height: 18px;">tagalog</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> term of a certain thing.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">But of course, you don't go to the store to say, "Pabili nga ng </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: italic; line-height: 18px;">kwaderno</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">."

<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">The term "</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: italic; line-height: 18px;">konyo", </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">however, is a neologism that refers to the people often considered to be the children of affluent families. They are often tagged to be "</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: italic; line-height: 18px;">sossy"</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> in a way. Example of this is, "</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: italic; line-height: 18px;">Let's make tusok ng fishballs".

This is what we call "borrowed term." The terms "</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: italic; line-height: 18px;">mama o papa</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">" are also what we got from the Spaniards as we address our parents. These great influences only prove that even language evolves and changes from time to time.

In this fast pacing generation, we are always on-the-go with things that satisfy in every one of us. Sometimes, we are too indulged with work all week that we forget the essential of it all which is our health. Women, in this present time, don't wanna be left behind and so they are always as energetic as they thought they still are. However, we still come a point in us that we wish we hadn't work too hard especially when the body starts to complain. Well then, it's nothing to worry, there is always an equal antidote to every trying times.Find out for <a href="http://smartypantsvitamins.com/best-vitamins-for-women/" target="_blank">more information here</a>.<br />

Also, ever heard of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/SmartyPants.Vitamins" target="_blank">Smarty Pants Vitamins</a>? Well, kids nowadays grow with much interest about anything and everything that makes them curious. I swear there are many parents now who even have hard times in the feeding their kiddies especially if they serve meals that already seem ordinary to them. Since, we all want our children to be as healthy and so we serve meals always filled with nutritional values. Have a try then and worry no more. evhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04400584333382188106noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18604309.post-54716011583799364542013-04-04T10:27:00.002+08:002013-04-04T10:27:59.716+08:00the purpose driven life<br />
I'm thinking if there's a need to put this sentiment into record. My mind just seems to be a blank sheet. I cannot think of words in this contemplation..but then, let me just try. Maybe the heart works if not the mind.<br />
<br />
Sometimes I wonder, what is it about living that we so hold on to. But I believe, life is a gift from our Creator. And there is so much about life that I so still want to cherish with. My heart sinks for the youngs and even the olds who would resort to suicidal as an escape from a life they thought was meaningless. If only they were properly guided, or if only there were happy souls smiling at them at their lowest point. But as for my lowest point, I prayed hard, prayed like I never did before, for a life that is full of meaning... for me. God is my perfect escape.<br />
<br />
Three months...I don't know how I get the strength to go on. I went to work as if my spirit was crushing because I felt so weak, but there is only one thing for sure, FAITH. For the first time in my life, I was struggling with my health condition for three long months. I pray hard everyday. Only then I realized, that in all those past years of my life, my faith was as little then as a mustard seed. However then and ironically, this is the very moment in my life where my relationship with my God grows deeper each day. I admit I prayed for my life. I wish I can go back to my old self. Spiritual advisers say, do not pray because you ask for something in return, just pray and be thankful for His unfailing love and the gift of life each day. Admittedly, I am guilty for I ask for a return. This weak creature asked for her life. And I am thankful each day because God keeps me going. He understands. His mercy is overflowing. I know there is purpose for every situation, I continue to pray that this purpose is for His greater glory..be my guide each day. Thank you Po!evhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04400584333382188106noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18604309.post-65201032814113364942013-04-04T09:23:00.000+08:002013-04-04T09:25:58.555+08:00your mobile websitesThere'd been too much fuss around about the latest mobile coming out in the store. There are those that offer even great discount or installment for everybody to avail. We so enjoy great deals offered by the technology nowadays. Teens are our most target market. I was browsing online and thought what difference do these mobiles can make to us, consumers. What about those who are likely unable to avail right away, however, they can only wish that it's just there, the new mobile apps already in stored for them? Maybe there are sites that help instead of rushing into different stores to avail what's new and so <a href="http://mobstac.com/" target="_blank">try it out now</a> . It's good to take things cooler.<br />

I so want to talk to you each moment of my life. I so want to tell you of the things I still don't understand as human but you are there to open our hearts and mind. I have been staring blankly on my dashboard for quite a while thinking how I might put these feelings into words to prove at least in words how much this faith has helped me in so many ways. Thank you for your undying love. You died for my sins Jesus, all because your love is true and pure. Help us and teach us to show that same love for others, Lord. Make us a perfect creation as You with our Father, our Creator, are perfect. Take away our pride, our selfish egos and desires and teach us to serve others in need. Help us realize everyday of our lives that what we have are all yours and that we must use them in right ways. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I thank you for the wisdom to understand things. The wisdom that only comes from You. Hold us, Jesus! We are nothing without you. Protect us from evil ways and let us always be mindful of things are pleasing to you, so that one day when this is all over, we will be happily worthy of the paradise that you promise, in a life that will have no end, with You. I love you, Jesus. Come into our everyday lives because we are weak. Be our strength so that whatever trials come our way, we are strong in You. All these I pray with Mother Mary. Amen</div>

It's almost summertime and we're counting the days! We're thinking again of another avenue for relaxation and <span style="color: #333333;"><span style="line-height: 17.078125px;">some kind of </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 17.078125px;"><a href="http://www.holidaybirds.com/" target="_blank">HolidayBirds</a></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 17.078125px;"> for us to enjoy with. While my thought goes to a perfect getaway this summer, I wish to find also easy ways to help me look for a place that is somehow new to me but a very good opportunity for exploration. Of course, this includes the idea of being able to get great packages that will at least suit our budget.</span></span><br />

Hmmm...in this present time, where can I possibly turn to as I seek for better or much brighter ideas? Perhaps, I could surf online and surely will find wonderful holiday packages.</span></span><br />
