Concealed Sentiments

Indeed, Jesus is the reason of the season. Thank you for coming into this world and saving us from our sins. You showed us the perfect example of LOVE...

Lord, Let your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. May your will prevail over men. Thanks, Hannah I need a miracle today. I hope God would listen to me.

I am so excited! This October 23, I and my highschool friends are planning to meet in Cebu and enjoy the beauty of Bohol. Despite the short notice and the budget constraint, I decided to have a three-day vacation with them. Why? Because of the following reasons: 1. When I checked the cost of plane tickets bound from Iloilo to Cebu, I found out that Cebu Pacific is offering Php 1,000 off the original fare. 2. I am dead tired. I'm tired with my day job and I know that I need a break. 3. I have never been to Bohol in my whole life. 4. I missed my friends. When I think about my friends, I always remembered our careless moments during our gradeschool and highschool days. We used to sing the following lines back then: Make new friends and keep the old One is silver and the others gold. I really appreciate the meaning of this song. I believe that it's good to have new friends but old friends are the best since we have known them for so long. Stay tuned for my vacation pics!

I am not aware that I have a special interest in fashion until I started my Fashion-O-Lic blog. At first, I am more concerned at getting a bigger website visitors for the blog. As months and years past, I discovered that I am loving fashion. Reading the latest fashion trends and the celebrities quirky fashion styles makes me happy. However, I have a confession. I am not fashionable. My mom would call be names that would pertain to being unfashionable. I love to see other people wearing those fashion trends but I can't imagine myself on those clothes. Maybe because I am not accustomed to them or I know that I can't afford them. If you are interested with the latest fashion trends, you can visit my fashion blog !

I visited the PAG-ASA site today and according to them: Central and Southern Luzon and Visayas will experience monsoon rains. The rest of the country will have mostly cloudy skies with scattered rainshowers and thunderstorms. Moderate to strong winds blowing from the southwest will prevail over Central and Southern Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao and the coastal waters along these areas will be moderate to rough. Elsewhere, winds will be light to moderate coming from the southwest and northwest with slight to moderate seas except during thunderstorms. The rain will probably be pouring down for the next few days. Thinking about waiting for the sunny days, I remembered a song I used to sing with my grade school classmates: If all the raindrops were lemon drops and gum drops Oh, what a rain that would be! I’d stand outside with my mouth open wide—– Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah Oh, what a rain that would be! There's a Tagalog ve

When I was a student, I loved holidays because they all meant: no classes and rest days. Now that I am working, I hated special non-working holidays! Why? Because here in the company that I am working for, special-non working holidays meant: no work, no pay. I don't want to go to work but I have no choice because a one-day salary will be deducted to my so-small monthly salary. I envy my friends who don't need to force their lazy bodies to work during the special holidays. I hate the world today! Why? Because it is a holiday! hehehehe

I don't know why I am quite affected by Michael Jackson's death. Somehow there's a piece of me who mourns for him. I am not one of his avid fans, though I like few of his songs. I am sad about his untimely death, a few weeks before his comeback concert. In my own opinion, it's too soon for him to leave. Why now, when he had a chance to redeem himself and showed the whole world that he's only human just like the rest of us. But I am not in the position to question the decision of our Life-Giver. He alone knows the reason and purpose behind the mystery. Life lives, life dies. Life laughs, life cries. Life gives up and life tries. But life looks different through everyone's eyes. Love is stronger than death even though it can't stop death from happening, but no matter how hard death tries it can't separate people from love. It can't take away our memories either. In the end, life is stronger than death. As I watched Michael Jackson's Memorial Servic

Hello everyone! We all have those moments when we feel as if we’re drowning in life’s pressure and stress. Many failed in coping up with the problems that comes along their way but there are also those who stood up and survived the pain. How can you handle the circumstances that are beyond your control? How can you live a happier life? Superchick’s Stand in the Rain song is very appropriate for this kind of life’s dilemma. It tells a story about a girl who seems so busy with her life but the truth is she is just covering up the emptiness and the fear that she felt inside of her. What must she do if you are currently in this girl’s situation? Superchick advises us to stand in the rain and don’t give up even though all things seems to fall apart. We should always remember that when God closes a door, He always open a window. Never give up, just stand up! She never slows down. She doesn't know why but she knows that when she's all alone, feels like it's all coming down She won

For your Father knows what you need before you ask Him. Matthew 6:8

This song is about being in a situation where you don't know what to say to the person who really needs your comfort. With our human nature, we tend to panic and have a tendency pull away from a friend or a loved one who had a serious problem or an overwhelming trial. We struggled for words of wisdom that is appropriate for the moment but it only lead us to question God's power it. If you are in this situation, what would do? Casting Crowns' "Love Them Like Jesus" inspires us to love them (the broken individuals) just like Jesus loves us. We don't need to have a lengthy speech, loving them and having their backs is enough. The love of her life is drifting away They're losing the fight for another day The life that she's known is falling apart A fatherless home, a child's broken heart You're holding her hand, you're straining for words You trying to make - sense of it all She's desperate for hope, darkness clouding her view She's lo

Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. ~ 1 Peter 5:6-7,
