Dad's day 2013

-
1Thessalonians 2:11-12 For you know how, like a father with his children,  we exhorted each one of you and encouraged you and charged you to walk in a manner worthy of God, who calls you into his own kingdom and glory.


 Today, was one one of those days in a year I got the license to miss my dad and the liberty to talk about him. Through the years his memories seem not to fade infact it becomes more vivid as my experiences in life put color on it. My dad, by far is the best man I've ever had in my lifetime,next to God. His words of wisdom that was instilled in me during my childhood years somehow made sense as I learn to use them as I grew up. He somehow knows what to say and how to say it in the right time because he knew how stubborn I can become. He can uplift all our spirits up simply by cracking a joke and his laid back character kinda complimented my mom's upright attitude. 

I miss my dad so much and I love him dearly. I am happy to know that he is now in heaven with the one who created him. Today, this longing in my heart for my dad is filled up with God's love. He alone can make my worries go away and the hole left in me can only be filled up by HIM and no one else. Now I understand why the Lord takes someone/ something in our lives-- so that He can fill it up for us. 

Happy father's day to the two best dads in my life!

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...
