CERTAINTY

I realised that it is indeed overwhelming when there are so many influences around which makes them very confusing when they are  contradicting each other. Absorbing them all leads me to contradict myself and in the long run I am losing my own identity. Influences all over the place makes life not easy. 

Simple things becomes difficult in the midst on many information. Fake news, social media, influencers, gadgets, technology, and engaging with digital platforms has taken me away from simple life. 

Reliance is shady. Whom should I trust? Everyone"s agenda is a factor to consider in trusting. And it is hard. It makes me anxious. It"s not healthy when you always question the motives of everyone you want to cling on to if it leads to being paranoid. 

In the midst of uncertainty, my contemplation leads me to one thing that is certain. The Word of God. 

The Word of God is always reliable, relevant, alive and loving. It is always applicable for all circumstances. You only need to trust and obey it. Depend on it. Rest on it. Find comfort in it. Seek its wisdom. 

Another thing that is certain is that all prayers are not left unanswered. Praying is having a conversation with The God Almighty. Logged yourself off the grid of the enticement and noise in the world and dwell in His House. 

You never know what comes your way in the subtle manipulations in the world. And that is why it is very vital that we seek a corner of quiet time. Especially in times you develop symptoms. 

Symptoms of being scared: look up to Jesus who can cast all fears. 

Symptom of being weary: cast all your burdens to Him and He will give you rest. 

Symptom of getting sick: find comfort to the One who can heal you. 

Symptom of being confused: Seek His wisdom. He will bring you clarity.

Symptom of being anxious: His peace is available for you. 

Do not be overwhelmed by the noise of your surrounding. Seek the quiet place in your heart where you find who you really are in arms of your loving Father.

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

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

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.
