Before Turning Nighty in (19)

December 19, 2011 – This Monday has the meaning of hard work for this was a very busy day for me. Monday morning was such pleasant because of the good weather. These recent days, the weather was not fine because of Typhoon Sendong but I thank God for the very good weather for the start of the day.

Household chores chased me and that my Mom needs some help for it. The changing of the power outlet bought me some time to make some rest after my breakfast. It was easy for me to do this kind of things because of my course. After changing the power outlet, I was tasked to remove some unnecessary thing under the roof (we don’t have a ceiling). It was easy to remove the wood but I noticed something that is needed to change the place in order use so I ask my Mom what to do about that.

It is a hanger for wet clothes. This is a very tiring thing I say, you will hang up yourself to remove each nails that clipped the hanger. It was hard for me because the thing that keeps me tired is the heat that comes to me by staying just inches under the roof. After removing the hanger, I need to replace its position in a place where it can be used. Now the nailing part is easy for I will not hang my self anymore.

After these tiring businesses, I fall asleep and had a late lunch because of it. My afternoon was meant for updating and fixing some things around my blog and it took me hours to finish. Now I forgot the date that tomorrow (December 20) is my birthday because of this busy day. There are thoughts now that comes to my mind, or maybe I was just too excited for tomorrow. But I’m still glad that Lord made me a very useful person this day.

Now is the last day of being an 18 year old man and tomorrow is another journey for me as a teenager.

Age only means a number and just a numerical value,

Being yourself in all times and ages describe only you;

Time will change and test your personality,

But to live with God is to live in eternity

Rainbow after the storm

Yesterday, the atmosphere with my girlfriend was dull and sad. I can say it as dull because she can't even say a sentence and I am just the only one talking and she don't even reply. I know it was all about her problem, but I said that I can't do anything but to support and comfort her. She might just expressing his madness I think because of the situation and I understand that.

Recently in school I noticed that she is already alright and in good condition. Smiling, happy and having confidence to herself. I know that she can surpass her emotions and yesterday was the time that she will think more positively in her own way. She said that she just wanted to express her feelings (though it was not good because her words hurts me really) and I am the only one she can lean on. I can't do anything about that and if only I know that that is her purpose I can say and do better things for her. But I accepted it and I always understand her as it is part of her personality.

Maybe, she is now recovering herself about that problem and I am very supportive about that. I know God has the purpose for all the good and bad things that is happening around us. And now she is back, I am thanking God for answering my prayers, to help her in her worst and overcome her emotions. At least it will help her though that cannot resolve her problem.

Sometimes we're very down, worst and sad,

But there are hopes and that's all we have,

God has a purpose in everything around us,

Let's just believe in all the miracles He has

There are rainbows after some storms, and the light reveals the beauty of all kind. We should not lose hope for God didn't lose hope on us.

One single mistake, Takes all

Last Monday we had a quiz in our Circuit subject. It was  written quiz with two parts: one is definition and the second part is solving. The first part instructs us to define the following five terms in circuits. It was easy for me because those terms are very known and you can define it in your own terms. The second part of the quiz, which is solving, give some worries though I'm a little confident that I could perfect the exam. I solved the five solving problems without any hesitation though I have the worry that my answers are wrong but almost 95% is sure.

And recently, in our circuit subject we checked that quiz and do some lectures. The checking takes some time but it is normal for us because it is a solving problem and it has a long and complicated solution. The first two solving items was easy and I got it right. When the third problem goes in check, I was shock that I was wrong so I reviewed my solution if I got wrong in my process. For the first check, I can't see any problem with my answer but later on I have noticed one simple mistake that made the whole solution wrong.

It was just the operation that the two terms should be minus but I divided it. And now the checking was done, that's the only mistake I have. I should've divided it so I will get the highest and perfect score in that quiz in our class. But what's done is done, I can't do anything for that.

Simple mistakes if not notice early,

Big problems will appear quickly,

But to accept things will be the best way,

Not that you're weak but strong you say!

We must accept things about things we've done wrong. We should forgive ourselves about our own mistakes and accept it as a lesson for us.

Express the Blame

I just watched a very inspirational movie "The Grace Card" and it made my eyes watery. Its a very good choice must watch movies if you are losing hopes or never been get over from some terrific thing. The story plays a two policemen, a white man and a black man, opposite with each other when it comes in some aspects. But when problem comes, they didn't know that God made its purpose and that they didn't see it coming. Bind from guilt and hatred, they renewed themselves through a prayer and worship to Him and He granted and blessed the two.

There is one thing in my mind when I am watching the movie, the thing about my girlfriend. I wrote yesterday about the problem but the problem was happened too long ago. Though, we are trying our best to fix that problem, it seems to be that we are just longing the pain and hopes. She can't get over with it and I am so worried about that. She didn't talk so what do I listen from her? I can just give her advise but same thing always happen.

I know it is inevitable for her, because i know its difficult to accept. Can't forgive herself for those mistakes and that may bear her some negative thoughts. Blaming things up, keep things in regret and never remind for forgiveness. I can understand her for the situation but things might go worse if not threaten early. I am advising her to take some activities that can take away her attention from that problem and I am still advising her to accept the situation and forgive herself.

We might be in our lowest, we might be in our worst;

But don't let the pain bears another pain of yours,

Accept and forgive the things around us and don't ever give up,

For He never given up on us and always carry us with His love

We should accept things and ask for forgiveness. Appreciation of things and forgiveness are from grace and God's grace is the most powerful.

Christmas party early set

It was a good day for God gave me so much blessings. Thanks to Him things are good.

Christmas is on its way and we are just counting days. Recently we have agreed that our class should organize a Christmas party with one of our professor. It was my classmate that made the discussion to a meeting of organizing a Christmas party. It was too early but it is better that it makes more time to prepare for it.

We discuss most about the food and other stuffs are quite. Traditionally, here in the Philippines we always celebrating Christmas parties just as simple as it is. Feast, games and fun stuffs, exchange gifts, and other entertainment and programs. I might suggest that we could actually do an activity that can ensure the true meaning of Christmas which is "love and sharing."

We prepare feast for us to eat best seasonal food that you could eat just a time in year. We prepare games and stuffs for fun and entertainment. We prepare programs for further entertainment. We prepare and perform exchange gifts just to show the value of sharing during Christmas. But, the love and respect that our beloved God was born in that day was always missing.

We can have fun for those stuffs but why do we celebrate Christmas at all? It is because of Him reminding us for His greatness. We should be aware of these things at all, but as time goes by it was not practiced at all. We should not forget this despite of our own or group desires during Christmas. Maybe we could offer the celebration for praising, worshiping and thanking Him for all He have done to us.

Show the real value of  true Christmas,

Share love and forget over tragic pasts,

Remind yourself for the greatness that He was born,

Believe in Him and you will never be alone

Let celebrate and welcome the Lord for He shall be praise!

Hardship in Difficult Times

I don't actually think negatively in some things or losing hopes especially if it is not the end of something. My girlfriend is suffering from a serious problem and I can't help her with it, maybe mere support may do but the thing is, we can't do anything but wait and wait for the result. She did all the possibilities to fix it but there are small amount of hopes. And now she is sad and tired.

In our years in college, she always been studying hard because she wanted to graduate with an honor of Cumlaude. But now, this hope is gone because of a simple mistake. We are making everything to fix this but it seems to be so hard because of some impossibilities that might happen and we both scared of it. The error is just a simple fault but this'll bring her doom for the rest of her life if not fix (I will not post the whole story for some security).

I also have the chance to become a Cumlaude but not hoping for that honors, but for her it was everything and now she always feel tired because of that. She always cry when we talks about it and I felt sad because I can't do anything. I wanted to comfort her but my advises don't work for her. Maybe she can handle it her own but I can sense her inside that she can't and it slowly breaks her heart.

There are times that we are so down, no hopes and chances, but to think positively and believing for His will, we can overcome these fears and problems. Prayer can move mountains and it is always been. Just think about the goodness that awaits ahead whenever we feel down. Don't stop when you fall down. Don't stop when you already achieve something. Keep going with His guidance and faith for it will bear a beautiful thing.

We might fall in quick and really bad,

But we can fight and go for all we had,

We can be in danger in times of unknown,

But we can escape and solve it without fears shown

Fears may brought us to good and bad, but thinking positively in things might cause any luck, not just hopes.
