AMAZED - A Birthday Blog

" You dance over me.. while I am unaware..."
"You sing all around.. but I never hear the sound.."
"You paint the morning sky... with Miracles in Mind.."
"My hope will always stand, for You hold me in your hand.."


Nine years ago today, I started this Blog to showcase my talent in writing after an old mentor noticed a passive skill. Since then, this blog evolved from an emotional to informational and now a spiritual kind of blog and its transition is obvious looking back at my older blog posts.May 2, 2017 - Today, God gave me another reason to exalt Him (again) in His usual child-like way, if I may say. In deep need of His presence on this special day, I asked a dearest friend of mine to accompany me to a Prayer Mountain called Touch of Glory. Inside a prayer cell room, while everyone is supposed to be drowned in His presence- to my surprise, I wasn't even sober- perhaps a lot of things going on in my mind. Well after roughly an hour of stay in the Prayer Mountain, we continued our day by driving another hour to reach Daranak Falls where kids (my daughter and Niece) can swim.As the waters fall from the ledge of the Mountains, the sound of flowing water fills up our surrounding and while the cold soothing waters touches my exhausted body- God amazingly spoke to me, and reminded me that HE is my source of everything and that my prayers should not be enclosed inside a prayer room- doesn't need a four-cornered room for Him to speak to me and for me to do the same. Just like the Water Falls - God's Love never runs out, He is our source of love, blessings, and the source of all the good things in our lives. While we ( the recipients), doesn't give anything back- He continues to fill our empty cup, lovingly .



I am amazed how God seemingly spoke with me in a child- like manner, while I with a faithful heart, tried to talk to Him the same way our Church Leaders do. Perhaps it is the best way He can impart His words with me. Or maybe- He knew me well enough and He wants to meet me half way.. Regardless of His reasons, I am as always, thankful for His presence in my life. My Bible Verse for today:

John 7:38"He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, 'From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.'"



 Thank you Lord for another Blessed Year!

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 unfortunate even
