Celebration of Life [My Birthday Realizations]

-
Life is God- Given.
The Lord has paid the price of dying on the cross for us to enjoy the life we are enjoying now, guilt- free of sins. Even before we come out of our mother's womb, we are already forgiven. That's how vast our Lord's love is.

On my 26th Birthday, thought of celebrating it out of town with my loved ones, away from everybody else. Due to unexpected circumstances, my VL was disapproved. Frustration engulfed me from the day it happened till a day before my birthday, not realizing the reason for this celebration.

As my big day approached, I soon realized the real reason behind celebrating one's Life, that suddenly changed my outlook in life. God has allowed us to live this life we have now so we can, at some point give light and inspiration to others.

In fact, we should celebrate life everyday.

Our big day should be celebrated with the Lord's presence and our loved ones even in it's simplest form. Ideally, we take this time to relax and pamper ourselves with all the good vibes and wonderful things. But in this imperfect world, where all things change.  we cant always have that kind of celebration. We can always give thanks even when we are at the office while doing work or inside a room before you go to sleep.
You can pamper yourself with love by giving love through simple signs of love: Kiss, hug etc.
So long as you are with the persons who matter most in your life, there's always a reason for celebration. 

Life - is God given, we can only make ways to celebrate for this wonderful gift and don't have the right to take it away ourselves. It feels bad whenever someone didn't have the chance to bounce back from a very frustrating situation to a reason to celebrate one's existence.

Life has a lot of wonderful things to offer. So many people around you are always there to make you realize how loved and appreciated you are. If these humane gestures isn't enough to uplift our downhearted spirits, we can always turn back to the Lord's Sovereign love. HIM alone can fulfill these gaps we have in our hearts when everyone else fails.

For 4 years, my Alma Matter was and still is the University of Santo Tomas .  There are a lot of reasons to be proud of this University. The Character built within each and every students who enroll in this campus are remarkable and I can say made us, Filipinos proud of our race.  For Centuries (400 years), Catholic catechism has been the basis of the University's teachings. When I took up Fine arts back in 2002, there are less lectures and more on hands-on drawings and labs. This means lesser class hours for Christian living lessons *sigh. Less time, but unforgettable teachings. How can I forget my professor, Mr. Cura? He was 65 years old back then, but still he was teaching. He was a real emblem of PASSION, PATIENCE. He was a real inspiration for everyone whom he shared his life with. Apart from the great teachings and lectures I had with Mr. Cura, the University's annual activities being held like "PASKUHAN" is one of the reasons why I dearly love my Alma Matte...

August 7, 2010 (Saturday) Lesson #1 Each and every patient is unique. They might have the same symptoms, but they have different causes. The doctors should treat each patient differently, ask questions, and listen. In our case, I told this doctor that my daughter has cough for almost a month now and the doctors including my daughter's pedia heard that her lungs are clear whenever they listen through it. It turned out that my daughter had viral fever which was caused by pneumonitis. If only this gay doctor from the ER last saturday LISTENED. He could have admitted us that day and no need to send us away. Lesson #2 Mothers knows best . It is part of our innate instinct to feel that there's something wrong happening to our loved ones. Indeed, gabby just had a plain HIGH FEVER but who are they to tell us not to have our daughters admitted when we felt there's something wrong. When we believe in something, we have to stand up for it and fight. yes, FIGHT. I have to sound...

Nothing else matters, nothing in this world will do. Jesus at the center, everything revolves around you. Jesus, You at the center of it all. -"Jesus be the center" by Israel Houghton and New breed. Woke up at around 6 o'clock in the morning and I was listening to this song in which I thought was very timely. I was playing over it again and again until I organized some valuable thoughts, experiences creating a microscopic organization of my life from the time I really let the Lord take over my life. Looking back at it, I can testify to one Truth:  that Jesus is a faithful God, He listens to prayers and gives us the desire of our hearts in a timely manner. There were prayers I once made such as prayer for family reconciliation, personal prayer for other people and personal prayers I made for me and gabby. These prayers, in time were answered without me even waiting for it. There's a prayer I once made which I thought would never happen because of unfor...
