Moments from now... we will say "bye-bye" to 2005 and say "hello" to 2006.
To most people here in our place, the way they say "bye-bye" is by burning money - lots of them. :(
This is a sad thing to see but it's tradition and from experience, tradition is a very hard thing to change. So, I'll just mind my own business and watch them burn there money.:)

I'm looking at 2006 as the year of action. I feel that this is a year where we roll-up our sleeves and get our hands dirty. This could be the year of great harvest [savings] though I read that the year of greater harvests [for those who are working smart] will start on 2008. Hmmmm... I am not playing psychic or anything.. just feeling the whole thing.

So I am very excited about this whole thing. The future is indeed an exciting topic. My friend once said, "Let's not talk about the past. Let's talk about the future and then we will be happy."

Looking at the future... I can say only 2 words..."Akin Yan!!!!" :D

I realized that I am soft person and I am easily moved [sometimes cry] by deep emotions.

When I was young, my classmates would always tease me since I cry easily [even when I am angry]. I thought something is wrong with me; I thought, I was gay or something so I tried not to cry when I feel grief or any heavy emotion. When my eyes starts to water... I would look away and think of my something else that will keep me from crying. Still, sometimes, I cannot hold them all - I ended up breaking down.

I later realized that nothing is wrong with crying. In fact, I think the bravest thing a man could do is to shed his tears on a cry-able situation, in front of people who might tease him or doubt his sexual preferrence after the event. Crying is simply being true to yourself and to others.

I loved crying in cry-able events. It will not show that I am weak, it simply says I am man enough to admit that I feel something.:)

"don't you know that sometimes tears are more special than smiles because a smile can just be given to anyone but tears are only shed to people you don't want to lose." - author unknown

Last night, I felt that the Lord spoke to me again. It is not as facinating as the burning bush encounter of Moses but the Lord did spoke to me in a way I have not expected. When some of the people can easily dismiss the event as coincidence, I count it as one of the instances when God just use other people to bring in His word to me. After I re-evaluated what happened I would say that in order for that event to happen, I have to arrive at the hobbit house exactly that late; I have to tell my friend "let's watch this program"; I have to experience that technical difficulty that I have to restart the program, my friend has to ask the question at that particular time of the program and I have to hold my tongue and not discuss it, my other friend has to say,"what? I'm sorry cz I'm listening to this guy" for us to listen as well and moments later we got the answer to my friend's question, which is consistent with the Word of God and only magnified by the timing of our need at that very moment of time.:)

The Bible says that the path of the righteous is ordered by the Lord. This means that God is going to put us in the right place and in the right time so that we will achieve our purpose.
Coincidence? I don't think so.

I would have dismiss this event if I have not prayed for it but I have. I feel like this is just the beginning - I'm excited for more of the Lord's presence.:)

Arha-shun: "Everytime I see myself in the waters... I feel that I am looking at a person who will fulfill his destiny. He knows it won't be easy but he will surely be what he is created to be."

The seer: "You have spoken of your future as if it has already supervened. You have spoken with your heart in front of a soothsayer, yet I cannot see your future. It appears to me that you are Magnania, unlike any other being in our world, your future cannot be perceived. It seems that you will make your own destiny."

Nivarthe: "Hey!... there you are. What are you doing there? Come up here and join with us. Ashaia and Leno are reigning the dance floor. Come on let's have the time of our lives!

Shefagae: [sigh]

Nivarthe: "What's wrong with you? you seemed troubled? Oh no... is it the liquor?"

Shefagae: "Hhhuhnng... No it's not the liquor and it's not the dancing... it's everything!. I mean, look at us, we dance we drink... we have fun. And then what? We look for another good time again.. All I'm saying is that... we are just going in circles. I mean.. we are just chasing.. excitement. Is this all there is? Isn't there anything more? Is is this just life is all about?"

Thank you Pastor Mitch for inspiring me to write this one.

 Looking back, this year, 2005 has been a different year for me. For one, this is my first year of being a full employee of Lexmark and receiving my regular income has been a test for me; my faithfulness in handling my finances is very much being tested. This is not about returning the tithes and giving the offering but about what happens to the remaining 85% of my income. This year, I learned (not fully learned though) a lot in that area and my desire to really be disciplined and be faithful grew. Another is, I have meet more men of God this year than any year in my life so far, there's Rev. Tony Pool, Vins Santiago, Georgian Banov, Pstr. Ted [forgot his last name.. it sounds like "labas!"... kidding sounds like Manlangit], Pstr. Carding Siok [bata ako ni Lord], Pstr. Aljef [fruits that lasts], Pstr. [Bimbol-rocco-look-a-like] and some other pastors and evangelists. Thank you Lord for bringing me people who challenge me to go beyond where I am today. Another is I have read[on my own] and owned more books this year than any year in my life so far. And I have dreamed bigger dreams [and achieve some of them] this year than any other year in my life so far. Also I think I have grown faster, this year than any other year so far. Praise the Lord for that!

 This Sunday, we will celebrate Thanksgiving Sunday and here is my partial list of people I thank the Lord for. Lord thank you for:
#1. My mom, Evangeline Librero - my hero. The lady who gave up a lot of things for me. The lady whose passion for the Lord is my inspiration. She is not perfect but I loved her not only because she is my mother but because she is love-worthy. If you are me you will understand what I am saying, you would probably say, "who would not love a mother like that." She is probably the first person who believes in me.

 #2. my mentors - Pastor Noel and Pastor Siony. They believed in me and they help me grew as a person. They are committed to be used by God and as a result, I grew as a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ. I learned that the Lord has really great plans for my life because they never stopped [until now] teaching and inculcating that fact in my spirit.

 #3. my gilfriend - Joyce Marie Galindo. She is the second person, I express my dreams, hopes and fears to. She believed in me, she belived that I can make our future brighter. She thinks I can do many things and I can make things happen. She appreciates every single thing I do. Though, sometimes we argued, she still loved me. She thinks I have what it takes to make my dreams a reality. I was never afraid in telling her my dreams because I know she will fuel it.

 #4. my media friends - Kuya Joe, my leader, he is always patient on me and appreacites my ideas. He sees the same future that I am seeing and is committed to pursue it. I learned a lot from him; Mel, she my very close friend, I thank God for her maturity. Her growth is always my joy. She makes me feel trustworthy and she always pruds me to go on; Gerard, he does a lot of things better than me and I thank the Lord for that. Without him, I can't imagine a lot of things in the team. He makes the world rounder; Dave, his maturity has been my inspiration. My trust for him grew in every moment; Tiff, her thoughtfulness always touches me. There are a lot of details that I overlook but she catches them as easy as ABC. When I look at the Tiff before and the Tiff she definitely has grown to be a better person.

 #5 my sisters - if my mentors taught me to dream big, they thought me to dream. They taufght me to move forward and not be contented with where we are. They taught me to survive. Some of them sacrificed their personal agenda just for me to succeed. I learned from them, their experiences about my father, because of that, I had painted in my mind, a great father who is committed to my succees. So more or less, I have felt the love of my father even though I was not able to experienced him as I grew up.

#6 my friends in the office - my team. They are very supportive people. They contibuted a lot of my personality. We both learned from each other. There are a lot of things I would say bout each of them but this will make this post longer.


#7 people in church that inspired me - surely God placed them there to inspire me. "Oh my all who come behind us find us faithful."

Welcome to the wolrd of payables! Moments ago, I was really having a strong feeling of writing about "The emptiness of this world". Let me talk about it a little bit, well, this world is empty and after all the fun and "success" this world gives there will always be a moment of silence and the "fun" and "success" will either be distant, fading or unimportant. One person says, "everything will go back to the box". And this is really true... this world is empty. I remembered having the same feeling a King Solomon as he wrote the Book of Ecclesiates... "everything is empty.. it just like chasing the wind". And you know what.. going after the "fun"... is just like "chasing the wind"; You thought you have it but it's nowhere. This world is empty and the Book of Ecclesiaites said something about why we (all people that ever existed) chase the wind; it says that because there is an emptiness in our heart which God created so that we will long for Him. How's that?

Anyway, again for my payables... ahhh.. I mean, payables really changes things. And it changes how we should look at things. I get shaken when it comes to money because is important. God knew that money is important so when He came here He talked about it many times. Check the Bible's first four books of the New Testament for that. Still, the Lord is good and He will make a way even in the natural things are getting a bit shaky. And like the 3 believers talked about in the book of Daniel, I will say to everyone, "I know the Lord God Almighty is able to deliver me in this situation but even He won't deliver me, I will still praise and worship Him."

worlds apart

Alkiemna : "What are you talking about?"
Mickael : "I mean, if I search my heart I know I desire to stay and be with you but the truth is.. we can never be together as long as you stay in Gaia, for I am a Celestian"

Alkiemna: "Does the distance of our worlds matter in our love? Is loving you and being with you too big to ask?" You loved me; I loved you - is that hard to understand?"

Mickael: "Please stop... I don't want to hear it anymore... Hearing your words are like pinch of death to my heart. I know breathing won't be easy without you but again, a Celestian should know better than loving a Gaian."

Juan Perdo: "How did you know she is the right one for you? I mean, how could you
possibly give it all up?"

Andress Tibay: " I don't know.. but the moment I looked at her... and she looked back at me and
I saw the sparkle in her eyes, all I saw was our future. She and me standing
closely side by side, promising to each other forever. And from that day on.. I said
to myself... I'll risk everything."
