We just came from a moviehouse and watched the movie, Silent Hill. When I was about to buy the ticket, the lady asked me for an ID. Then, I remembered that this movie is Rated R. I checked my wallet for an ID and found my SSS ID. I gave it to the lady and she was looking for my birthdate. I pointed to the date below my name and told her, "That's my birthday, right there." Then she said,"That's your birthday? Oh my god...". I said, "Why? Do I look younger?". "Yeah, you look like you are...(forgot what she said but surely it sounds like I look like I was born way earlier than the date she saw in my ID :))" replied the lady. All I can respond is, "Well, thank you!" with a wide grin in my face.I really look younger than most of the people of my age here. My sister's sister in-law told me,"You're Jacky's brother? Well, you look like a very young man." Hehehe... all I can say is that..."Well, thank you." with a wide grin.:)

Somebody told me that she is blessed because some people just dreamed to be where and what she is right now. We'll, I am blessed. I am here in this good country enjoying the benefits and all the good stuffs provided for me. I know a lot of people would die to be here. Some people lie, cheat, risk their lives just to be here. And in that light, I should be grateful that I have this opportunity at this stage of my life.

My point is, I think I should have all these in mind because many times, I don't feel good being here. I can't be myself... and I am away from the people who really care for me. Call it drama or OA... whatever.. you can think whatever you like to think... I don't care.

Being here is like being suspended in the air in the middle of the river, you cannot go back and you cannot move on. It's probably part of the adjustment. I am adjusting emotionally and somehow it's hard for me to get over it. It's like I left 3/4 of me from where I came from. Breathing is not as easy as before..it's like a part of me has been torned and now I am only half the man that I used to be. DRAMA.

You probably heard of the story of a mother and her two sons : one, an optimist and the other one, a pessimist. In the story the mother brought here kids to a farm with two barns to observe her kids. She placed the pessimist in a barn filled with toys. The boy just went in and examine the toys and said,"Hmmm.. toys? Something is not right." The other boy, the optimist, was placed in a barn filled with horse's feces. The boy jumped to the feces and said, "Wow, horse's feces there has to be a horse in here." 

Many times, we need to be like that of the optimist boy; We need to look for a horse in every situation. We need to look for good things and choose to look at them instead of looking at the feces. When our friends starts to stink, we need to look for a horse in them. When our situation gets undesirable, we need to look for the horse that makes us ride with the tide of discomfort.
You might ask, what if there is really no horse? We'll let me ask you, have you really looked for it?

Why am I saying this? Probably because, I feel like I am in a barn filled with feces right now... it's stinky and I am starting to complain. I need to look for the horse in my situation today. I need to open my eyes and look for that one good thing. I have read a statement that says something like this,"People can make a thousand excuses why they can't do what they are asked to do but they only need one good reason why they should do it." I can make thousands of good excuses why I should not be happy here and I can make thousands of complain to make myself feel bad being here but I only need to look for one good horse in the barn to choose to be happy.

Frankly speaking, I am not in the barn of horse feces and the horses here are not very hard to find(Lexington of the horse capital in the world.:p )but my attitude made a hell out of this very nice place. I begin to understand a bit that our situation can change depending on our attitude. Our outlook in life will determine how the world will look like. OS if we have a bad outlook, we are most likely feeling that we are in a bad place.

The Lord Jesus Christ wants me to be happy, He placed me here to enjoy His blessings. I don't want to miss the horse that God wants me to find here. Now, it's time to look for the horse!

"Hubagang ate oi... " I asked someone here what hubag means, and he said that it's a slang term for "pretty".

Hmm.. my girlfried says it means "big boobs". My friend says its big butt.

So which is which? beautiful? big boobs? big butt?

Hubag is swelling in English so it should mean something is swelling.

To say, "hubag kaayu ka" means... you are so swelling... swelling what? where?

when you say that a girl is hubag... should the girl be flattered or not?

One thing I can say, I can't tell my girlfriend that she is hubag to flatter her. For one, it's soooo unromantic. Secondly, it's sound disrespectful to the ladies.

Yeah, we have our own choice in using words but for this one, count me out.

Yesterday, I had the privilege of listening to a bunch of married guys talking about their experiences with having a baby. The conversation flowed from childbirth to basic experiences. Some of them said they were really interesting and funny. A father in the group said that the perfect word to describe his situation when he was with his wife during chilbirt is INTENSE. He said everything was just so intense and the pressure in the operating room was just boiling up. I could just imagine, watching a person I love, trying to cross from life to death so that life could be born into this world.:) There were so many things they said that I can consider precious coz I really learned a lot of things about childbirth and rearing kids.:)

No... I'm not getting married yet..:) I still want to prove something to myself.:)
The truth is, when those men talked about family... I began to think about me and Joyce. I mean I begun to miss her more..:) Corny, but if you are in my situation: you have a great girlfriend (not to mention very beautiful and sexy) and you are a bazzillion miles away from each other and time seems to pass sooooo slowly, you would feel the same way.:)
That's all for now...:)

Notes



Looong hours
I've been here in the US for almost 2 weeks but it feels like I've been here more than that. I feel that I've been here for a very long time. I am probably to attached to the people I cared so much in the Cebu that I feel time is just slowing down.I really miss my girlfriend..:(....

Radio program
I always listen to positve and encouraging KLOVE radio station. Sometimes I jam alone in my room. Speaking of alone, I heard a preacher last Sunday said that we were never alone bcause the devil was always been with us.:) That's sounds funny. I think he is right in saying that. Before God found us, we were the son of the devil but God saved us and now the LORD is always with us... but I think the devil never went away even though God is with us. The Bible says that Satan is an accuser of the saints.

Sing the sermon
BTW, I joined a fellowship in a church in Lexington called the first Alliance church and last Sunday, I went to a church in Alabama and it was cool cz it was my first time to be in an African-American service, and the pastor sung 50% of the sermon.:)

Almost 23 hrs of flying, 8 hours of waiting, 4 airplanes, 3 big bags, 2 travellers, 1 shamrock box and a partridge in a pear tree and I'm finally in Lexington!!!!

I know this post is already 5 days late but I guess I have chronicle this event in my life. A lot of things that happened to me, happened to me for the first time. So if I will be asked, "First time mo?", I will gladly say,
YES!.:) I am very please with what happened, Glory to God!


All I can say is, I am not where I am today (as in the literal - today) because I am smart or because I am good looking, or because I performed well in life or because of what I have done but it is all because of what the Lord did for me; it is because of the favor of God hovering around me. Looking back, I could honestly say, that every breakthrough I got is from the Lord and from no one else. Glory to God! So I am sure that my future victories and breakthroughs will still come from the Lord. In this post, I give back the glory to the Lord.
