More often than not, people depend on their own capabilities in dealing with all the challenges and opportunities that come their way. They do not realize how much they are missing by not accepting that there is so much more God can do with our lives. At times when you think nothing is going right and the world wants to fall down on your head, he brings you something great. He gives you a source of joy and fulfillment. That’s the kind of God He is. He loves his people so much and is willing to give us our hearts’ desires if it will be for the good of our souls. All we have to do is ask and He won’t be selfish. God’s gifts are readily available for everyone. We just have to offer our lives to Him and allow Him to do whatever He wants with them. Nothing could ever beat the knowledge that He is the one controlling our lives. With Him in the driver seat, we know that we are heading the right direction, we are safe and that great things are up ahead for us.
Thank you God! Pisay’s victory is for you. Your love and goodness cannot be measured.

fool for Christ
I attended our chapter meeting a while ago. Kuya Francis gave the talk. It was about being a fool for Christ. Just right after he told us the title of the talk, I remembered one event. I realized that truly we were fools for Christ! And everything he said about being a fool was true. You don’t really realize how funny it may seem to others when you’re doing it for love. I am truly happy that I am a fool for Christ and I wish many other people would become fools for Him too.
Tapos we talked about other stuff like the prom. Ang cute ng mga kwento ng kuyas and ates tungkol sa proms and prom preparations nila. Haha. Tas may sinabi sa akin si ate abi nung palabas kami ng conference room. I’ll try. Lol. Sa labas, kwentuhan na naman ng sister ko and nila ate abi, pau and charles. Tapos yun kain ng bbq courtesy of tita joy and tito gene.
I love YFC brothers and sisters. I get to be around another set of people. You get to share stuff that aren’t so easy to share with your schoolmates na alam mong nakikita mo everyday. Tapos ang dami pang nalalaman sa mga nangyayari sa mga tao outside school. Masyado na ko nahahaunt ng school na kahit sa reflection kanina ang naisip kong place isang place sa pisay.
Most importantly, I love YFC because it helps me keep my character in check. Yung tipong narerealize mo yung mga mali mo and nalalaman kung ano ang tama and pleasing in God’s eyes. At siyempre nagkakaroon kami ng chance mag grow in faith and service.

weekend at last
Grabe! Extreme emotions ako this week. Nakakapagod. Pag nangyari ulit sa akin ‘to, baka himatayin na lang ako.
Nung Monday, narealize ko na nawawala ang id ko (Kung may makakita, paki bigay po sa akin. Salamat!) Tapos hindi ako nagpasa ng str kasi tinamad ako. Ano ba naming klaseng rason yun db?! Tapos nagsimula akong magpaka-depressed nung bio time. As in nagsulat lang ako nang nagsulat para ilabas ung mga sama ng loob ko. Pero dismissal time, medyo good mood na ako. Kasama ko nun si ryan tapos napuntahan namin sila nico, gihan, mari and other dahlia people.
Tuesday… Since Filipino ang first subject at pinapasulat lang kami ni sir at la ako sa mood magsulat ng short story, nagsulat na naman ako ng mga depressions ko. E di yun. I started the day by recalling everything that made me feel bad. Tapos nung natapos yun, nagsulat ako ng editorial. Labo ko talaga no?! We also started our practicals in PE. I didn’t do well but I think I learned a bit. Bumabalik na yung table tennis ball sa kabilang side. Haha. Better luck next time. Pero seriously may natutunan ako. Pano ba naman ung mga nakalaban ko ung mga pinakamagaling sa girls: sila dani, lara, jami… Kung d pa naman ako matuto na sila ang kalaban e. Tapos nag mrt ako til santolan. Medyo sumakit balikat ko kasi ang dami kong dala.
Wednesday… Nagquiz sa math at hulaan nyo na lang ang score ko. After that, I was in good mood already. I wrote during Filipino time but it was about how much better I was feeling. Nag r u in love test kami sa health, mataas ang nakuha ko. Tapos may naayos pa na problem so I really felt good. Tapos supposedly may workshop kaya nasa journ room kami lahat, tapos I heard about the bad news so nalungkot ako na gusto ko nang umiyak. Since la c ma’am jams, nagstroll na lng kami lahat (nico, jami, ray2, ben, henson, hopee). Tapos un nakausap namin c ma’am jams sa caf nung gabi so medyo naging ok na ko. As usual, it was the most stressful night for eng journ students. Current events quiz and due ang news journal the next day. Samahan mo pa ng 2 long test na kailangan aralin.
Thursday… So yun nagkaroon ng long test sa English, current events quiz sa eng journ, long test sa bio. Grabe! Nakakapagod yung day na yun. Tapos since due ang lab rep the next day at may long test sa math, natulog ako ng 10-12. From 12-5, nagwork ako kaya 1 hr lang ang tulog ko.
Friday… Dumating ako sa school ng maaga. Pag dating ko sa classroom, narealize ko na wala sa akin ang ibong adarna tickets pero alam kong dinala ko siya sa school. So nagpanic ako. Todo hanap around the school. Lahat ng tao hinanapan ko nung tickets. As in. Dinamay ko pa si fatima kaya hindi cya nakapagreview more. Sorry talaga Fatima!!! Salamat dn. Hindi pa rin naming nahanap so habang nagmamath, kinakabahan ako at wala sa test ang attention ko. Pero I think tinulungan naman ako ni God at medyo ok lng yung test ko. So un after math, inisip ko talaga kung magcucut ako ng soc sci para lang hanapin ang tickets. Nandun na kami sa labas ng soc sci classroom, nag-iisip pa rin ako. Pumasok na rin lng ako. Nagpaalam ako k ma’am na lumabas. Sinamahan ako nina fatima and eski. Hanap kami ng hanap pero wala talaga. Bumalik kami ng classroom. Muntikan na kaming il8 ni ma’am pero sinabi ni paul na hinanap kci naming ung tickets so ok na.(Thanks Paul!) After ng soc sci, kasama ko si lara and eski na tumingin ulit around the 3rd floor. Tapos bumaba na sila lara. Pumunta kami ni eski sa reg(dumaan na kami ni fat doon nung umaga) so wala pa rin. Pumunta kami sa faculty para puntahan si ma’am cion pero wala cya dun. Naalala ni eski na nandun siya sa 3rd floor. (Salamat Eski!) Nakausap ko siya. Sabi niya ok lng. Ittxt na lng nya ang management. So sa chem and comp sci, guilty pa rin ako. nung lunch, medyo ok na. Pag dating nmn sa front, nahanap nung janitor, binigay sa bio lab technician tapos binigay nya k ma’am cion. So may tickets rn pala kami. Alleluia!!! Maganda ung ibong adarna. Amazing ang lights. Sayang nga lang hindi buong story. Ganun naman ang presentation ng ibong adarna most of the time. Hanggang sa part na gumaling na yung hari at kinasal na si don juan at maria blanca. Tapos un nung pauwi ang kulit sobra nina jan mikes, eski, jeriq at rob. So ngayon grabeng pagod ako. kulang pa ako sa tulog.

optimistic me
We have returned to the real world. Homeworks, long tests, reading assignments, problem sets, articles, news journal and current events quiz. We’re having our workshops again too (the only thing I’ve mentioned that I actually enjoy). Kaya wala na akong time mag-update.
Since I’ve been feeling extremely down and depressed the past two days, I’ve decided to write about the good things that have, are and will be happening. I have to be more optimistic.
Ø First, the abovementioned: eng journ workshop. I’ve missed this so much. Malapit na division so simula na naman kami. Masaya makipagkwentuhan at makipagchikahan habang nagkukunwaring kami ay nagsusulat. Medyo stress reliever din siya.
Ø The extreme greatness of ’07. During the family day, we won first in 3 out of the 4 awards. Model Batch (2nd yr in a row. Iba talaga batch spirit and unity namin. Ang beat ng drums ng ’08 ginagamit naming beat para sa pagcheer namin for those who were playing the games.), cheering (Well, ang galing ng cheerers ng batch. Ang sipag nila. Sobrang galing sumayaw at ang dedicated pa sa practices.) and over-all champion(2nd in 2 games, 1st in 1 game. There were only 3 games. Tas ung mga minention ko pang 2 other awards + 3rd kami sa attendance.) GO ’07!!!
Ø Malapit na ang Metrocon and retreat. Gusto ko na ulit maging extremely high spiritually.
Ø Nakastrike ako sa bowling. Haha. Once in a blue moon.
Ø Nagpicture ako sa Glaxosmith donations at may pagkain sa end.
Ø Nasama ako sa 2nd team kahit na walang funds. Lol.
Ø May pag-asa pa rin ang DLSU na maging top 2 sa UAAP at the end of the elimination round. Yipee!!!
Ø Bumabawi na ako unti-unti sa chem.
Ø special mention to nico naalala ko kasi nung binasa ko blog niya. natuto kami ng napakanakakatuwang kanta sa soc sci. istanbul is constantinopole.
Ø Lastly, God so loved the world that He sent us His only son.
Yan na lang. I think that’s optimistic enough. Count your blessings. God loves you.

Intuition
Sorry! Isa na naman sa malabong entries ko na walang silbi. Nafeel ko lang isulat.
I don’t know if it applies for all female species but Fatima and I and Ivy in the rare times we get to talk seem to have it. We can’t explain it but we have exteme sensitivity. We feel so we know. Sometimes, I hate it because I don’t know if it’s intuition or merely imagination. God bless us! Because the question as to whether it’s common sense or imagination forming conclusions for us is the hardest question I ever dwell on.
