something new..

hmmm, just want to share new happenings.. i moved here in valenzuela na, just a month ago. realized many things in living alone, away from your family.. you’ll learn a lot for your self.. learn the value of having a family by your side whenever you needed them… i’ve been in cavite for  2years and 3 months to be exact.. with that span of time, much had happened, experienced and realized.. sometimes its good to be alone, by yourself.. to reflect on things that happened… along with the happy and sad memories, experiences and anything… though i’ve been living alone since my college days, during my review, when i first had my work, when my sister’s having her review and in cavite.. i think i’ve grown from my experiences along with it… now that i am back home.. i’ve realized i’ve missed many things.. i missed serving the lord, i missed my dad’s cooked food, i missed my nanay and tita’s voices when they’re scolding me :P, i missed my neighbors, i missed staying late at night just chatting with friends, i missed everything here in valenzuela… except.. the traffic :(( i don’t like it.. so sad that i had to encounter this everyday when i go to work.. :( hayyy… i just tried also writing with this new blog features of friendster.. :)

rEcOlLeCtIoN

buti n lng.. the recollection i attended last sat, march 01 was just right in time.. :) the first recollection after a year or two i think na naattendan ko.. :P to think n muntik pa kong indi maka attend, pero siguro talagang GOD wanted me to be there.. to attend..

Friday, i worked not in our makati office to assist cleaning of our cavite office.. kasi nga, tsugi na ang cavite office.. before i turn over ang key ng house na nirent namin for two years.. might as well leave it clean.. :P so there.. right in time dn, kasi my rally sa makati that time.. so iwas traffic and hirap umuwi.. i am about to go home sa valenzuela sana after ng cleaning.. kaya lng, as in super traffic sa aguinaldo hiway and i decided not to go home that night instead the following morning n lng.. i let roshel, our youth leader know this and advise to alarm me the following morning..
MARCH 01 — SATURDAY — nagising ako sa ring ng cellphone ko.. si roshel.. and its almost 5AM.. ang usapan is 5:30am aalis ng simbahan sa valenzuela along with other youths from our vicariate.. hehehe.. so i told her to go on with the plan.. i’ll just follow where they are.. basta txt txt.. so there.. i prepared myself, the things i’ll bring.. in about half an hour im ready to go.. glad na indi ako nahirapan sumakay ng bus.. i take the mrt.. kamuning station ako bumaba… again.. nakasakay ako ng bus n direcho… direcho sa meycauayan.. where they told me to go first.. dahil may activity p dun.. arrived there at 7:30am.. katatapos lng ng mass..

There would be an activity that’s a part of the recollection.. they called it EXPOSURE AREA.. where they’ll expose us to what had happened to mother nature..

at first we go to a tannery.. they show us the process of making a leather.. from skin of animals like horse, cow, carabao.. the one who does the explanation is a company personnel, she told us everything from the time they get the animals skin to its finished product.. the leather used in making shoes, bags, belt and other leather made products.. from the wet division to the dry division.. and to its last process where it would be ready to be delivered to certain locations like marikina and others..

our next location is a dump site.. located in between is a river, which i think is very polluted, because the water is black and has many garbage.. and also has a bad odor..

as we go back to the chapel where we had our mass.. we had a small group sharing, by the way, before we go to the exposure area, we were grouped into 5.. and while having a tour in the tannery and dump site, we are required to have a small discussion with our group for all the things that we saw in the area… and in the chapel, to sum up what we notice by having a small group sharing.. where we answer one of the questions they gave us at the start of the activity..  then we go to the location of our recollection..

ADIARTE FARMS.. CAMANGYANAN, STA.MARIA, BULACAN.. — our vicariate arrived first.. along with the vicariate of meycauayan.. while waiting for the others to arrive, we had chat with other youths.. and also i do some errands.. when i came back, the speaker is being introduced.. LOIDA SAN DIEGO.. a free lance writer.. i learned a lot from her.. she really is a writer.. of love stories.. she’s in a hurry though, but still she shared what she has to instill in our minds as youth… after her talk.. we had our lunch.. a 30-min lunch break… then after.. the next speaker was introduced.. REV. FR. DARS CABRAL.. once a priest in FATIMA.. and also one of my favorite priests in giving homilies.. because for sure i will learn a lot.. his time was a dull time.. after lunch it should be siesta.. since we’re in a recollection might as well listen and not to sleep.. but still he carried it all well.. he really know how to make the crowd not to feel sleepy but listen to every word he say.. after his talk.. vicariates presented what we noticed and find out in our exposure areas.. our vicariate sing and dance… PARAISO chorus.. i belong to those who sing for the person who will dance.. :D then after that, to end the recollection.. a mass was held.. and they also gave us souvenirs that we needed to take care and bring on the next activity of the youth… the DCYM.. sometime in APRIL.. it was a plant.. they told us to take care of it..

DCY LENTEN RECOLLECTION.. COME BACK TO ME WITH ALL YOUR HEART… :)

February 08, 2008 — it’s marge despedida party.. akala nmin indi n kmi matutuloy mg scouting for a retreat house.. ksi until midnight.. wala p kmi makitang driver to replace niña just in case she’ll get tired of driving.. lahat ng kakilala ko n driver, natawagan ko n.. still wala p dn.. it’s all because of marco n indi pumuwede because of a naunang appointment with his brother.. he’ll drive for his kuya’s outing in batangas.. til we’re set to a decision n.. daanan nmin sya dun, since wala nman syang gagawin..

februay 09, 2009 — 12MN — indi n ako natulog for the fear of not waking up on the agreed time n aalis kmi.. i opt to do our tickets.. cutting all that i can in order not to fall asleep.. while denis, tupe, alvin, rachelle, and john was drinking outside our chairman’s house.
1:30AM — Marco arrived and told us that he was just waiting for his kuya’s txt and off he goes.. and same time we talked about the decision of fetching him in lemery to drive us..
2AM — Marco goes to fetch his kuya and go to where they are heading..
3:30AM — Wake up Tupe and prepare to go to Tagaytay.. Sad to say, Denis fell asleep and he cant possibly go with us..
5:30AM — we leave valenzuela to go to Tagaytay.. drop off @ SLEX gasoline station and buy our breakfast..
Along the way.. pra sunduin si marco s lemery, batangas.. dumaan n kmi s mga retreat houses n makita nmin.. to name, dumaan kmi sa LIGHT OF THE WORLD, SISTERS OBLATES OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, DOMINICAN HOUSE OF PRAYER, and FRANCISCAN MISSIONARIES OF MARY.. and we go to LEMERY to fetch marco.. had a 2hour drive going there..
11:30AM — LADY MARY BEACH RESORT, LEMERY BATANGAS — fetch marco and head to another retreat house.. but first we had to eat our lunch..
1:30PM — Jollibee, dito kmi nglunch.. :(
3:00PM — we arrived at LA SALLE SISTERS OF GUADALUPE then to DON BOSCO RETREAT HOUSE (chapel on the hill) and CALERUEGA PHILIPPINES.. of the three we enjoyed the visit at Caleruega Philippines, sobrang ganda ng place.. sulit ang Php30.00 n entrance.. maraming views, madaming magandang site for pics.. and most of all ang HANGING BRIDGE.. super enjoy kmi to the max.. kawala ng pagod s maghapon n paglalakbay.. :) maganda dn s Don Bosco and La Salle pati ang mga views..
6:00PM — leave caleruega and headed to BANIO KREEK in Silang, Cavite.. sobrang layo and muntik png lumagpas.. pero sulit dn ksi ang ganda ng place. and we opted to choose the place.. among other retreat house.. maganda for recreation and others n puedeng gawin sa aming youth encounter.. then.. we still see other retreat houses there along the way.. mejo tinatamad n ksi my nkita n kmi n ok puntahan.. and we decided to tell them n un n lng..
7:00PM — drop by at a fruit stand to buy some pasalubong, some that we buy are pinya, mango, mani n my matamis, halaya and others.. :D then off to have our dinner..
7:30PM — DINNER.. courtesy of marco.. sagot nya ang aming dinner.. ksi ihahatid nmin ulit sya s LADY MARY.. hehehe…
9:30PM — LADY MARY resort… niña was still asleep so pinabayaan muna nmin sya n umidlip.. syempre kmi dn.. dahil malayo p ang aming lalakbayin..
11:30PM — umalis n kmi ng resort, bumili lng ng kape and byahe n ulit.. nakarating kmi ng valenzuela about 2AM following day..
Pagod pero sulit.. ksi successful ang lakad nmin. and there was DENIS, waiting for us.. hehehe.. because of his pasalubong.. :D and after kanya kanya ng uwi to rest.. and for still a busy day ahead of us.. :)

tagal ko n dn pla indi nakapagpost dito.. anyways, much has happened in the previous months.. sad and happy .. and im glad to say na im still here, ready to face every hardship.. because i know GOD will always be by my side.. just a glimpse of what had happened in the previous months..

MY ILOILO TRIP… happenings before my trip is somewhat sad.. :( because ahmm, i can say we had a little understanding.. we had an argument that i thought would be the end of our relationship.. but siguro our love is strong kaya eto p dn kmi.. naiintindihan ko sya and i feel he loves me.. and i think that only matters.. for us.. so, about that trip, indi ako msyado ng enjoy.. not because galit kmi.. but because i go there not for pleasure.. its a job related trip that would mean no pleasure.. :D but anyways, i had visited malls there, site of SM iloilo and Robinson’s also.. ate at Mang Ted’s and even brought back home what i ate there for pasalubong..

Decisions i had to make before the year ends is somewhat hard for me, at first.. ung pag aabroad ko.. when my friend went abroad she promised to help me to go there also, but certain realizations struck me.. hehehe.. friends and loved ones na pumipigil skin .. and even GOD to save me from hardships there.. prayed for HIS guidance and he answered with a nice one..

One of the surprises is the acquisition of my own personal computer.. :D and also a new job abroad which is home based that would give me a nice income even if im here in the country.. so glad that GOD help me a lot through this..

Still learning the system and hope soon i will be more familiar with my job here among other things. til then.

just
want to share what i have received from my email a few days ago.. i
somehow think that this applies not to me, but to everyone of us.. so,
enjoy… may we all be blessed.. :)

Why Has God Made My Life So Hard?

By Billy Graham, Tribune Media Services

 

Q:
Life has always been a struggle for me, and it still is, especially
financially. I know God loves me, but sometimes I wonder why He’s never
given me very much. Some people I know don’t care anything about God,
and yet they seem to have it all. Do you have any explanation for this?
– Mrs. J.H.

A:
We sometimes forget that life for the vast majority of people on this
planet is hard — very hard. In my travels across the world, I have
seen terrible poverty, and the Bible says that God has a special
concern for those who struggle just to survive one more day.

Why
do some people have so little while others have so much? I honestly
don’t have an answer to that question — not fully. But what I do know
is that possessions and wealth can become a barrier between us and God — and nothing could be more serious.

After
all, who is really richer: a wealthy person who cares nothing for God,
or a poor person who loves God and walks with Christ every day? Jesus
told us to beware of "the deceitfulness of wealth and the desires for other things (that) come in and choke the word (of God)"
(Mark 4:19). The Bible also warns us against envy and greed.

It’s
not necessarily wrong to want to better ourselves, of course — as long
as we don’t let things take the place of God. The key is to put Christ
first in our lives, and to trust Him for everything we need. The Bible
says, "Keep your lives free from the love of money
and be content with what you have, because God has said, ‘Never will I
leave you; never will I forsake you’" (Hebrews 13:5). Is Christ first
in your life?

Century Academy on Real Estate …. Last week, i attended a seminar on sales for 3days… and for a beginner in sales, i found it interesting.. and makes me wonder why sales agents enjoy it there… though it’s not that easy to be in sales, but i can say that nothing is easy nowadays, all is hard and difficult, all it takes is patience, hardwork and a lot of prayer… the seminar helps me a lot, it added ample knowledge on me with regards to sales and some of the techniques and other things, just have a little knowledge about it in college ( in one of my subjects… ) i really feel still that i’ve learned a lot from it… anyways, hope that i will have a future there and also hoping that would be successful in this new endeavor…

:(

GOD help me! :)
