The Believers, The Atheists and FAITH

I don't normally participate in our office's online forum. I only visit the forum during my spare time. Months ago, as I was doing my usual reading my attention was caught by the signature of one of my colleagues. It's a qoute from Epicurus..... "Is God willing to prevent evil but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is Malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then hence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? Well, maybe it is in our human nature to ask and question God. It is a natural reaction to complain in times of distraught and hopelessness for complaining is the easiest way to handle uncomfortable circumstances. Sometimes we have our own disappointments with God that lead us to doubt His kingship and power. It can cause dilemma that can be compared to the "egg or chicken" dilemma; "who came first, the chicken or the egg". Friends if you have any doubts regarding God's will

Don Moen’s "Worship and Revival Concert Tour" in Iloilo

Known for his many inspirational songs such as "God Will Make A Way," "Give Thanks," "God is Good All the Time" and "Thank You Lord," Don Moen is a famous songwriter and performer who gained success with his praise & worship songs. I have known him since I was in gradeschool and that's before the Hillsong generation. I was so excited when I heard the news that Don Moen will be having a concert here in Iloilo for at last I will be able to see him personally and hear his songs live. It will be once in a lifetime experience for me. A week before the concert, I decided to dumped my idea of buying a ticket for the concert due to lack of money. But where God guides, He provides so I was able to acquire a ticket courtesy of John. And so, last April 10 at 7:00 pm I was at Don Moen’s "Worship and Revival Concert Tour". I had a great time. It was a spirit-filled evening of praise and worship as God's believers unite in prayer for Go

Friday Sickness

Occurrence: every Friday Symptoms: bored to death, drowsiness, brain dead, always looking on the wall clock, low morale Findings: I am having this Friday sickness. It's some sort of psychological feeling that I have before the week ends. It seems that I am not capable of thinking and every single minute spent in front of my pc results to boredom. The hours seem to be too long and at times I want to speed it up..if only I can do some magic. I'm so stupid. I know that there's an antidote for this sickness but I prefer not to do it. Just like what I am saying to Donna (friend, seat mate, teammate), maybe I am a masochist. I have the power to things the present circumstances but I allowed other forces to dominate. But I just can't do it now...it's not easy to change a career if you're working in order to live. Maybe some day...when the right time comes...

I Am A Teenager At Heart

Pausing for another break, I took another online quiz. This time it's about "What Age Do You Act?". I know I am childish oftentimes and always not acting my age. My mom would always complain about it . But what can I do? I am young at heart... By the way, here's the result...and it's true.... You Act Like You Are 19 Years Old You are a teenager at heart. You don't quite feel like a grown up yet, but you don't feel like a kid. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world. You're quite rebellious, and you don't like being told what to do. You like to do things your way. You have your own unique style, taste in music, and outlook on life. What Age Do You Act?

My Job Dissatisfaction Level - Just For Fun

Out of the blue, I just typed in the following keywords in the Google search tab: "when to quit a job". Looking on the search results, one item woke my curiosity. It's an online quiz that helps you decide if you should quit your job. I took the quiz and I was not that surprised with the results. Honestly, I know this would come along especially with what happened in the past weeks. It really made me laugh...ha!ha!ha! Your Job Dissatisfaction Level is 71% Your job is a total bummer, and probably the worst job you've ever had. Your co-workers stink. Your boss is a jerk. And your company is probably in trouble. Think about finding a new job quickly, even if it's just a not-so-great transition job. You've got to get out of there as quickly as you can! Should You Quit Your Job? I created this post just for fun and I hope people (esp my coworkers) would not misinterpret it. It's a fact that our minds work in different level: below sea level or above sea level...

The Essence of Christmas

It's seven days before Christmas! We are all busy for the biggest celebration of the year. Christmas trees, colorful lights, boxes of presents, bulk of grocery items for the Christmas feast or noche buena. We were all too much concerned with ourselves and we seemed to forget other people..people who were "less-fortunate" compared to us. Lask week, I had learned so many lessons about contentment in life. I am always complaining that life is so tiresome and boring. I was so worried about Christmas expenses: tickets for going home, credit card charges, gifts etc. I forgot that my concerns were too nonsense compared with concerns of other people. This Christmas, may we know and see it's true essence through the eyes of the lowly. The song below was entitled Paraiso, a filipino term for paradise. The lyrics speak of a dark and dreary environment where scavengers are free to make what they get from the garbage pile. But that does not make them any less free to imagine

The Bestest Birthday I Ever Had

I turned 24 last November 30. I felt so old and a little bit tired of my self. Indeed, life is full of surprises. I celebrated my birthday at Boracay in lieu with the Promet's Global Event. Checkout these pictures that reflect the great I had on that day! I was offering a peace sign for the world..I had bulging eyebags! I can't accept the fact that I am 24 years old. Radiating a smile with the beautiful sunset and enjoying the Boracay's sandcastles. Bonding with my teammates while filling our stomachs with 'eat all you can' Mongolian food. It's nice to see the faces behind their intriguing IM avatars. Chatting around in a Jamaican ambiance. It's really a beachy setting. Posing with Marie with the fire dancer in the background. Our swimming outfits! I can't stand to were bikinis so I prefer printed red shorts and midnight blue top. Killing the time with island hopping activity. I can't stand the big waves. It's swimming time. I run the race...Bor
