The Ballad of My Life


If there is somebody, that I know, who believed and who has continued to believe that I am able to more than make it in this life, it is my girl -Joyce (aside form God, of course).

Somehow, God "blinded" her from my imperfections and gave her a magnifying glass to see my strengths. Let me rephrase it, God made her see beyond my imperfection and that allowed her to have a better view of my strengths. :-) Many times, I asked myself, what in the world did I gave her, for her to see me this way. This girl loves me and I don't know why.

It's really intersting how someone could loves you not because you look good, or you are rich, or you have a strong build, or athletic, or famous, or a good singer, or a crafty musician, or simply a good person; That person just love you because she loves you, thats it- ILLOGICAL but LOVELY!

You see, professional basketball players are paid to play ball. To some people, that is really illogical... while software programmers, like myself, burn my butt out to make a program work, these guys are just paid to have fun.- ILLOGICAL!! But if you are the basketball player- It's LOVELY!!! :-) In more like the same sense, I am like those basketball players, I am loved without burning my butt out- ILLOGICAL!!! but the thought that it actually is happening...it's LOVELY!!

Love is something so simple but complicated to explain.

You didn't get what I just said? Well you'll get it once you fall in love.:-)

The most exciting day of my week - Sunday!!!!

I love Sundays... I love just spending a day (actually just 2-3 hrs of the day) in my week where I just fellowship...meet new people...sing praise songs.. listen to a sermon... and so on in Jesus' name.:)

I've always been exicted and just loving the whole Sunday service. I love it.... One day in the house of the LORD is a thousand days elsewhere!

2 weeks more
I will soon come back to my homeland - Philippines!!!

So here are some of my thoughts for the last 6 weeks of my stay here.
Week 1
The travel was all thrills and I had a lot of AHA moments. I've meet new people from Lexington and Alabama. And everything was just a wow. Work was slow... but everything was just exciting.
Week 2
I had a terrible week. My emotion started to go down. I felt home sick and I felt that I had the longest week in my whole stay. I was just miserable and just missing my girlfriend. I am alone in the house and I have nothing to do. I mean, I had fun but it ain't seem good enough.
Week 3
I realized I should not be miserable and I felt that my emotion got out of control. It was just interesting, I kept myself busy - play sports...talk to people... and do just about anything.
Week 4 -6
I seemed to have stablized and I felt a sense of smallness. I felt that I was humbled by the fact that what I have isn't something to be proud of. Literally... there is nothing I can be proud of except the fact that I came from a good family and I was raised well by my mother and sisters.
Everythings was just a collection of awe. I felt a sense of gratitude to the LORD for bringing me here and for the blessings poured into my life.

What's the significance in this piece of meat? Well, this is the first food I cooked here not counting rice and bacon.:)

I have tried cooking before but its been a long time since I cooked.


So let me share you some cooking tips for beginners.
1. Get your hands to work.
This is the first tip to cook. Just do it.
2. Believe that what your cooking is edible.
As long as you don't put anything poisonous in the pan you should be alright.
3. Seasonings.
What seasonings? Don't worry about it. They are just there to add coloring to the food. Kidding! :) If you have a ready made seasonning just pour them in the food and it should be OK.
4. Follow the courtroom rules.
Always have Exhibit A and exhibit B. Meaning, divide the food in at least 2 parts, and put different amount of seasonnings in them. This will make sure you hit the right taste.
5. Low is good.
Set stove fire release to LOW. This will avoid the food to be overcooked.
6. Pray.
Pray that it will taste OK.
7. Make sure that the food is thoroughly cooked.
If it's meat, make sure that you will not see anything colored red.
8. When everything is done, enjoy the food as much as you can.:)

If you think cooking is not for you, try ordering from a fast food or try buying cooked food.

As I have already said, just do it and you should be OK.

Study shows
I remember reading something about a study conducted not so long ago about the odds that a male human being would pick female mates who looks like their mother. And they found a high percentage (not sure probably 90-99%) of their sample population who pick ladies who looks like their mother. They found this also true for females. Females tend to favor males who looks like their father. :)


There is a related study where their sample space are males and they let these males see pictures of women one of which is a female version of themselves. They found that high percentage of guys considers the female version of themselves as attractive. They theorized that males are narcist. They also found this true for females.:)

Point being?
I have heard of statements like, "hey your wife looks like you?". Or "your boyfriend looks like your father" Or "He is a female version of her". And it made me think that probably studies like the once I've mentioned before have some point; That we, men really prefer women who looks like us or who looks like our mother.:) This might also be true for women. :)

Practical Application
Does Joyce looks like me? Uhmmmm... I done think so.:) But I have heard few people comment that they thought she is my longer sister; Thus connotes resemblance. (??????). Does she look like my mother? Definitely not.

Do I look like Joyce's father? Uhmmm.. I heard 2-3 people say so.(?????).


I leave that in your skull.:)

Picture of the week
Birds like this is commonly seen here nesting. I noticed that they started appearing when spring started. They just nest on this lamps outside the houses in the Inn.






What's in for today?

It's Sunday!!! And I'm very excited cz it's church time.:) I like the church here, it's much like Praise Cathedral, only bigger and the service is short. Bigger doesn't mean better though. But I feel like this is the church I feel connected to in Lx, KY.:)

I basically stayed all afternoon in my room. I tried sleeping and watching TV (Oh!! what an unhealthy lifestyle). I dont feel like I'm getting fat though but it's unhealthy and I need to exercise.

I had the pleasure of watching NBA playoffs live - in TV.:) T'was cool... I enjoyed games of Kings vs Spurs and Cleveland vs Washington. :) I don't have any plan of watching the real game.... TV is enough for me. :)

It's a psycho thing... baby!!
It's interesting that I no longer feel "home sick" this week. It seems that knowing that I feel that I got "home sicked" make me feel that I should not feel home sicked.

I still miss home and my family though. I still miss my girlfriend. I still miss the people that I used to hang around with.

I just learned that people can get "winter depression" here. I am observing my emotion and see what changed and what adjustments I should take. In my situation right now, I need to be on top of my emotions and not just allow it guide me. :) I'm sure if I'm going to do that, I would avoid being depressed and get nuts.

Weather you like it or not.
It's showering here and its a bit cold. The temperature is 54 F = 12.223 C but its cool I can take the temperature. It's my kind of weather only that the rain would stop.:)
