One day with Psalms

-
Today, as I wait patiently for my Doctor, the Lord has impressed in my heart the advantage of being alone with Him. As always, He never fail to put me in awe.

As I read through the Book of Psalms 30. I was reminded about my situation and how He sets an analogy over me and Nanay, my 80+ year old house companion. 

The morning I felt the same pain at my lower back- she saw my agony though I was trying to manage the pain, she started calling me "Nita...(she calls me by a name that sounds like my real one), Nita..." trying to call my attention. When I looked at her, she started bending, twitching and dancing as if teaching me what I should do to ease the pain. She did all these while laughing while she teases me.

For a second I was laughing with her, then a tear dropped suddenly then finally found myself crying for Joy as I was reminded: "He will take care of me... up until my old age"

Today - this verse is so true and was made alive by a circumstance turned spirit-filled encounter.

Psalm 30:11 "You turned my wailing into dancing.. you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy.." Though there is a discomfort, God has become my source of comfort. Though there is pain, there will always be healing from the Lord. Through loneliness, there is Joy so long as you keep the Lord in your heart and follow Him.

Thank you Lord for this spirit-filled encounter.

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

Hope For Haiti now

6 continents, 60 countries, 60 International Networks.. Different people all over the world joined towards one goal and that is to help our Haitian people. Helping from the other side of the world may not have the same impact when you have close encounter with the Haitian victims of the Earthquake that happened last January 12. Thanks to CNN and online streaming, people here in my country were able to keep in touch and it feels like we're not too far at all. I was one of the people tasked to do a brief training to those who volunteered for the telethon organized for hopeforhaitinow. At first, I was hesitant. But setting myself aside, I began thinking of the help, support and motivation I could give to colleagues who are willing to help out to the Haitian community.I was so overwhelmed when I see batches of trainees come and go out of the training room, and then after 30 minutes they were empowered and ready to take in calls. The overall experience was so tiring, it was only n

The Nurse- Edith Shain sure felt butterflies in her tummy back when this lovable soldier gave her a kiss when the World war II ended. This Kiss was supposed to be a sign of love between the two of them, and the  the two of them only. They never imagined that the magic of this kiss will last a century and will be part of our History. Letters to Juliet featured this Historical image when Amanda Seyfried (Sophie) played as a Fact finder and researcher for a prominent Paper in New york. She was a hopeless romantic girl who was engaged to someone she's not sure if she's in love with. They went to Verona, Italy to rekindle the love they had for each other only to find out that the love of her life now is not the one she ever wanted in the first place. Sophie bumped into a group of writers  named "secretaries of Juliet" who writes and answers letters written for Juliet from women all over the world who were seeking for answers regarding matters of the heart. She particip
