Pinatawad. Pinalaya. Inibig

All Glory and Praises to God! "But those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint." -Isaiah 40:31 Napakasarap sa pakiramdam. One year ago, umiyak ako ng todo but it was a silent cry when I did not saw my name on the list of passers of the 2011 October ECE Board exam. Masakit sobra, lalo na nung nalaman kong hindi rin ako kasama sa list of Conditional Examinees. Haiy... Fast forward. One year later. Last night, October 24, 2012 past 9pm, umiyak ako ng todo and it was a loud cry. Kasabay ng pagsigaw ng "Lord, salamat po! Woooh! Praise God". Ayan talaga yung sinigaw ko habang pumapalakpak ako sa kahibangan. Haha. It was because this time, I saw my name on the list of passers of the 2012 October ECE Board Exam. What made me happier is knowing that I am the only passer who bear the "Billones" surname. Sarap! Ako lang yun. Actually...

I was reflecting the past And fearing the future Suddenly my Lord was speaking: "My name is I AM." He paused. I waited. He continued, "When you live in the past, With its mistakes and regrets, It is hard. I am not there. My name is not I WAS." "When you live in the future, With its problems and fears, It is hard. I am not there. My name is not I WILL BE." "When you live in this moment, it is not hard. I am here. My name is I AM." IF GOD IS GOD, THEN LAUGHTER FITS LIFE!!!

Me: God, can I ask You a question? God: Sure Me: Promise You won't get mad? ... God: I promise Me: Why did You let so much stuff happen to me today? God: What do you mean? Me: Well, I woke up late God: Yes Me: My car took forever to start! God: Okay Me: At lunch they made my sandwich wrong & I had to wait… God: Huummm Me: On the way home, my phone went DEAD, just as I picked up a call God: All right Me: And on top of it all off, when I got home ~I just want to soak my feet in my new foot massager & relax. BUT it wouldn't work!!! Nothing went right today! Why did You do that? God: Let me see, the death angel was at your bed this morning & I had to send one of My Angels to battle him for your life. I let you sleep through that Me (humbled): OH GOD: I didn't let your car start because there was a drunk driver on your route that would have hit you if you were on the road. Me: (ashamed) God: The first p...

The first day of school our professor introduced his self and challenged us to get to know someone we did not already know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that lit up her entire being.  She said “Hi, handsome. My name is Rose. I am 87 years old. Can I give you a hug?”  I laughed and enthusiastically responded, “Of course, you may!” and she gave me a giant squeeze.  “Why are you in college at such a young age?” I asked.  She jokingly replied, “I am here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of children and then retire and travel.”  “No, seriously,” I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age.  “I always dreamed of having a college education and now I am getting one!” she told me. After class we walked to the student union building and shared a ...

  Sex is made amid a swirl of romantic imagery, intoxicating fantasy, and fear- the fear of loss, the fear of broken promises, the fear of failure and the fear of success which means facing the challenges of a lifetime of living together. No wonder we are confused. We humans need to have sex, we love to have sex. But human mating is by far the most complicated and problematic coupling on the Planet Earth. Apparently, we have always been ambivalent about sex which eventually leads us to separate love and sex. Love is above the belt and sex is below the belt. Love is beautiful and lyrical and romantic and sex is filthy and bawdy and carnal.  Is sex a dirty or degrading act or an act of love? We cannot decide what to think about sex because we treat it both ways. Asking teens to control their urges is not inconsistent to us. Sexual control is a tactic all human beings must learn. Our attitude toward sex is perhaps the most maladaptive solution to the problems of ...

Love the fact that I can just be myself with you. That is something that seems to be so difficult with other people I know, and yet it is so natural and easy with you. It is hard to explain how much that means to me, but trust me, it is absolutely invaluable. It means that you and I have a special connection that is bridged with complete honesty and trust. When I am with you, I do not have to pit all my feelings through a filtering process before I share them. You let me speak my mind and say what is in my heart without having me not to worry about what you will think if I say the wrong thing. And even better than that is the fact that this understanding is a two-way street. You can be just as spontaneous and as open with me and you know that I will never do anything to alter that special flow of joy and warmth and trust that is between us. I have a feeling that once in a great while one person comes across another person who is the perfect companion to walk with on. ...

I saw you yesterday as you began your daily chores. You awoke without kneeling to pray. As a matter of fact, you didn't even bless your meals, or pray before going to bed last night. You are so unthankful, I like that about you. I cannot tell you how glad I am that you have not changed your way of living, Fool, you are mine. Remember, you and I have been going steady for years, and I still don't love you yet. As a matter of fact, I hate you, because I hate God. He kicked me out of heaven, and I'm going to use you as long as possible to pay him back. You see, Fool, GOD LOVES YOU and HE has great plans in store for you. But you have yielded your life to me, and I'm going to make your life a living hell. That way, we'll be together twice. This will really hurt God. Thanks to you, I'm really showing Him who's boss in your life with all of the good times we've had. We have been... watching dirty movies, cursing people out, loving worldly things, having bad in...

Sa isang post ko na lang gagawin ang CHRISTMAS POST and NEW YEAR POST ko. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!   Lord, salamat sa masayang pasko 2011 at bagong taon 2012 kasama ang aking nakakatuwang pamilya. Napakasimple lang po ng aming celebration pero meaningful!
