His Fading Words...

I Hear You I can feel your spirit as my words you read Your heartbeat, your feelings, the need I hear you. So lucky I am to have you here Creating my everyday utopia when you're near Your kisses rest fresh upon my lips I feel your body's warmth under my fingertips Where will all this lead? I don't know. But, take my hand and we'll both go. I hear you. Not having to be someone else around you, you like who I AM, as much as I like you. I look at your eyes, even in dim light they're bright as sunrise. I watch as your lips begin to form words, Silently, you speak, but spoken words unheard. I hear you. I was checking on my friends in friendster when I happened to visit a profile of a friend I had during my highschool days. I was intrigued by the caption in one of her photos ("Rest in Peace, Brandon"). So I went on her blog ( Missing Brandon ) and found this poem written by her boyfriend before he passed away. I felt so sorry for her...She had been through many

Seeking The X Mark: Heading To The Right Spot

I received a text message from a cousin at a local highschool who wanted some advice on choosing a major. He will be in college in June. He was concerned that the credits he had already accrued will be wasted if he didn't decide soon. I think he figured that since I'm several years older and I am already finished with my degree, I would know what he should do. He thought I would be able to point him in the direction he should go for the next few years. It made me think of the ways we try to discover the will of God. We wonder, "Where should I go to college?", "What should I study?", "What should I do with my life?". We wish we could know for sure exactly what God wants us to do every time we ask. We wish God would write in the sky, telling us precisely what His plan is and how to accomplish it. But He doesn't. It's not impossible to find God's will. It's not some sort of buried treasure that God is hiding from us. Even though God do

#14 Think About His Love

Showing you His greatest love He came to earth from up above Without any doubt brought out He just willingly came out You! Oh man of sin and doubt Questioning His love Not knowing that He died for you To show you how much He love you In times of your pain Don't put you're trust in vain Cause God is with you He is there to comfort you Think about His love Think about His goodness Think about the days When in His wonders you amaze He is really great When you have lost your faith Just think of him You will be relieved in your distress Much more that what you've done If you suffer much more than others It is not a ticket to another ladder's step It is just a beginning of the promise He keep

Choco Laugh

Sometimes we wear a mask to hide ourselves, our expressions, or our feelings. For it easy to act in some character than to show who we are. Funny face is his prop And a very brown skin, He made people laugh And problems to be forgotten. Every time his friends need him He's always there for them Make him known as a clown A clown that wears a crown. They thought he got no problems 'Coz no tears are seen falling No worry is found upon him But just a big smile that is shining. He's a clown that wears the mask of happiness But bears inside the feeling of sadness A smile on the outside But a tear in the inside. Even though he hardly carries it He just continue with life and work for it, With his dreams for tomorrow To ease the pain and his sorrow.

New Hope, New Year

I've been thinking a lot about hope recently. It seems that everywhere we turn we see people who are without hope. We can see it on the news, in magazines, and in TV dramas. We see it when we go to the mall and sometimes even when we're at church. People are trying to find hope by somehow filling the void they feel. All around us, we hear people say things like this: "I hope I'll win in lottery", "Sure hope our team wins the championship", "I hope it's sunny on Saturday for our picnic". We treat hope as a wish. But what happens to our "hope" if those don't turn out as we waited? Here in the Philippines, all we should hope for is peace, the calm in the midst of the storm. In the past weeks, we experienced numerous tragedies...landslides that killed several people, fires that burned some houses and establishments, chaos in the government, and bombings that cause injuries to its victims. Last December 29, my hometown ( Tacurong,
