THE STORM

-


There were times when I was pushed and pulled down on the ground by the cruelty of people who have twisted intentions. To fight back is hard sometimes. But there is the urge to do it. When and where? Only God can tell. My strength always tells me to back off. My anxiety tells me that the storm is too big for me to handle. The Lord is asleep during the storm as if He doesn't care. The battle is on and I am not in my complete gear. I need the Lord to complete me. The Lord is asleep not because he does not care. He is at peace during the storm because no one can move Him in low or high waters. I too should be at peace with Him. I too should not be weary during the storm. My strength may tell me otherwise but Lord is too big for any Tsunami that comes my way.

 Sometimes all I need to do is nothing but to let it ride and trust The Almighty. Sometimes I don't need to close my fist, to raise my voice, to complain, to rant nor to curse. All the time I need to be at peace. There is always a place for peace. Even in a wild tornado there is a center of quietness and peace. All I need to do is to go there. All I need to do is to be with my Father.

 Whatever happens, whatever it takes, I continue to dwell in the presence of my Lord. I would like to allow myself to consume the joy of being with the wonderful and glorious God who is the source of my being alive and hopeful despite the storm that pushes me down. I raise my hands and shout for joy for my God is mightier than the storm, mightier than my adversaries, mightier than life that is treating me badly.

My Lord is kind and merciful. He let me lie down in green pasture, rest in his arms and envelopes me with His Love. I have never been disappointed in the provisions that has revealed to me. There may be some questions left unanswered but I never doubt the Lord who have already designed my future. Maybe the unanswered questions is the way God wants it because it is a way for me to go forward to the right direction. I have faith in what God is doing in my life whether in the rainbow or in the storm. The Glory of the Lord never changed. The joy of the Lord is my strength.

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.
