My Spirit is not Entrapped in the Flesh

-
There are things in life that I can't control no matter how much I propagate the truth that such things are not right. I may affect few people but there are massive number who possesses different ways of viewing things. Freedom of choice makes it difficult to promote my truth as opposed to others truth. It is cruel sometimes that the world is against my principles. I am not a holy man and sometimes my deeds contradict what I believe in. I guess sometimes to speak directly about what I believe in is not that effective. I got to live what I preach. My imperfection is what it pays to be in an imperfect world. My righteous claim is not convincing when the flesh emerge more evident than spirit does. But how can the unseen be seen? The faithful believes it is there But how can we manifest that the spirit is alive? How can our spirit rise above the flesh?
The essence of being in the world is to be tested on the choices we make that may define our conviction or lack of conviction. The world and it's worldly deeds are inseparable and I being a mortal being in this world must learn to live with the pros and cons.
Now that I have more understanding of what the world has in store for me, I have found the value of what is unseen. I look more on what benefits my soul for my soul is the one who will greet the supreme being in the end. The world ends but the spirit may rise above it. At my age I have a clearer understanding that my spirit should not be entrapped in the world so that once it ends my spirit will not be in it. I will rise above according to my choices. I choose to live. I choose life of everlasting. And I know where I should cling on or whom I should cling on to. And so I ask God Almighty to lead me into more spiritual life. I pray that the Divine Spirit is alive in me. I pray that my spirit is in one with the Holy Spirit. And in order to show the world that Holy Spirit is alive and can be seen is when the good fruits are evident in me. The Fruits turn the unseen into seen. I preach indirectly through the fruits I bear.
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control."- Galatians 5:22

Filipino Sweet Style Spaghetti

-
This morning, I craved for a Filipino Sweet Style Spaghetti. And so I told Claire that I was gonna go to the Asian Store in Cashel to buy that Del Monte Filipino Sweet Style Spaghetti sauce. She told me that she wanted to come along so she would see what else she could buy in the store. Then JC has to come along with us. . There is one store that might become popular soon for the pinoys in Lincoln called Filipino Mart. However, since I was in hurry to cook and to satisfy my craving, we settled to visit the nearer store. And so we shopped and shopped in the popular Asian Store in Cashel. Along with the sauce and spaghetti, I prepared grinded meat, Kransky (substitute for the Purefoods hotdog which we do not have here), onions, green pepper, carrots, and garlic. And so I cooked. I was sure I could never go wrong as long as I have the Filipino Sweet Style Spaghetti Sauce. It was almost like I thought that I could do with more or less ingredients and still I could come up with del

STAGE DIRECTOR

-
I am fascinated when I get to watch shows like X-factor and the Voice where the professionals get to guide the talent. The way the relationship goes well between the talent and the mentor is when the talent gives complete trust with the mentor and just accepts that the mentor has a better view of how the talent can emanate the stuff effectively and well. It’s just like a director who has the best view on what’s going on outside the stage. I remember there was this hip guy who was part of the cast in the stage play. During the rehearsal the director directed him to exaggerate his movement. But the guy being cool but a newbie thought that the movement is awkward and not cool. And so he did not follow the director’s direction when the rest of the cast exaggerated their movements during the performance. During the performance it turned out that the audience viewed that the cool guy was awkward on stage and the rest of the cast were outstanding. What is deemed awkward in real life is normal

UST Class 5 CE

What is good about having a Facebook Account is that you get the probability to touch base with your long lost classmates. It all started when a certain guy which I did not recognize in his profile picture by the name of Alex commenting “ If I am not mistaken, you were UST Batch (Bleep) 5 CE. Right?” And then he produced a class picture which included me 60 pounds ago. “O yeah, he is Alex from Class 5 CE. And then a few days after, several of my classmates from 5 CE sprouted and asking to add them in my Facebook Contact List. Amazing! It’s like I feel young again. There is also a feeling that you want to catch up with them and see how they are after all the decades. Ooops! Years. What do you know? Most of us haven’t been in touch after graduation and after the Besavilla Crash Course for CE Board Exam.
