Thirty-Nine: A Day to Remember

I woke up a little late and decided to just fix my things. I found in my "treasure cooler" a couple of really old stuffs. Some as old as kindergarten contest pieces! :D I realized I've been keeping too much memories that I've no longer have space for present and future stuffs. I mean literally. My "treasure cooler", the storage of all my things, is already full and I have other mini boxes in my room just to contain all my personal belongings. Looking back, more than anything else, I see God's faithfulness and unwavering love. And I can't help but be GRATEFUL. :) And my high school life had been so fun and meaningful because of these: Thank you, Rizal High School! :) High School Bestfriends - Westlife Sisters :) To end, let me share this beautiful poem which one of my Westlife sisters, Mary Anne, gave me during my birthday: Don't Quit When things go wrong as they sometimes will When the road you're trudging seems all...

Thirty-Eight: A Dream Wedding

Today, Marbert & Grace finally tied the knot. And it so happened that some of the details of the event are part of my dream wedding. :) 1. The Church: Transfiguration of Christ, Caleruega 2. The Guests: Just a few bunch of lovely people who know the couple really well. 3. Souvenir: Photo! :) And the best part is that everyone knows they got married because of their love for one another (not for anything else). :)  So, how do you want your wedding to be? :)

Thirty-Seven: The Road to Caleruega

... is long and winding, and yes, a bit tiring. But once you get there, surely you won't regret. The first time I went there, I immediately fell in love. No wonder it's a favorite wedding destination. :) And we're here to witness another beautiful love story - the beginning of forever for Marbert and Grace. :) Transfiguration Chapel ♥ The Road to Caleruega ♥

Thirty-Six: Date with Him

"I came forth from the father and I AM He." This isn't going to be a long post. Just a short but sweet reminder and note to self. :)  I heard mass today and during the homily, Fr. Eli asked us why we were there. Of course there were different answers but he gave one simple reason: to have a date with God . The Eucharistic Celebration is the highest form of worship, and the closest connection we can get to God. When we love someone, we long to spend time with him/her. We cherish every moment that we're together. And if we had a choice, we wouldn't want to spend another day even another minute without seeing or at least talking to him/her.  That should also be our attitude towards God. We are all in a relationship with Him and if we truly love Him, we will make time for Him. The mass is the perfect date we can have with God. So let's take the opportunity to commune with Him and get to know more about Him (and eventually fall more deeply in ...

Thirty-Five: Paalam Kahapon

No long post for today. Just this song from a musical genius. :) Paalam na kahapon Kay layo na pala ng noon 'Di ko na inakalang Darating ang umagang ito Parang kanina lamang Nung tayo ay mga batang Walang kinatatakutan Sa bukas ay walang pakialam Iwanan man kita Nakaukit ka na sa puso ko Malilimot ba kita Nakaukit ka na sa puso ko Paalam na kahapon Kailangan na ako ng ngayon Alaala mo’y ikakahon Ngunit kailan ma’y hindi kayang itapon Tila utos ng mundong mabuhay Akong pasulong, at ‘wag paurong Patawarin mo ako kung Unti-unti akong binago ng mundo Iwanan man kita Nakaukit ka na sa puso ko Malilimot ba kita Kung nakaukit ka na Iwanan man kita Nakaukit ka na sa puso ko Malilimot ba kita Kung nakaukit ka na sa puso ko "What you need to know about the past is that no matter what has happened, it has all worked together to bring you to this very moment. And this is the moment you can choose to make everything new. ...

Thirty-Four: You Are Loved

There must be a reason why God led me to this: And when I saw this comment, I knew why. :) "I sent it to my best friend and it saved him from doing suicide."  God led me to this video because He wants me to pass on the message. :) Whatever it is that you're going through right now, just be reminded that YOU ARE LOVED!  Don't give up. :)

Thirty-Three: Dying Inside

Today, I am blessed! :) This morning, we had the continuation of the Covenant Orientation Weekend and I'm so thankful that it was a success. A brother came up to me and thanked me for organizing the weekend. I thanked him back because if not for them, all the preparations would mean nothing. God be truly praised! After the CO Weekend, we went to the venue of our MV household (Lance's house) and waited for Kuya Alain and Ate Mel. There were five of us - Kuya Alain, Ate Mel, Lance, Ate Gems, and me - and we had an intimate discussion on the topic prepared by Ate Mel. Then we went to Rosario Church to hear mass. We arrived just in time for the last mass for the day and the homily by Fr. Lito was, coincidentally, about covenant. :) But for today's post, I'd like to focus on the topic that we had during the household. The key verse was taken from Galatians 2:20. "I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I...
