Pinas, aking minamahal

Balik Pinas naman ako.

Pero hanggang Manila lang.

Nakakalungkot din insipin na hindi nga talaga ako makakauwi sa probinsiya namin. Malasahan man lang ang paborito kong luto ng Lola. Makita, makasama at maghagkan ang aking pamilya at kaibigan. Makakain ng mga paborito kong pagkain na lagi kong inoo-order sa mga paborito kong kainan.

Sabi ko nga, pagdating ko nang Pinas, hindi ko palalampasin ang Jollibee. Hindi ko nga pinalampas ang N2. 'Yun ang Spaghetti meal na may Yum burger, drinks at French fries. Habang pumipila ay tinitigan ko ang menu na para bang gusto kong orderin lahat ng nandun maliban sa chicken meal. Beef steak, Shanghai, Beef and mushroom at ang Palabok naway parang kinikindatan ako. Problema ko lang ay paano ko kakainin ang lahat ng mga iyon.

Pero nakontento na ako sa N2 ko.

Hindi ko rin pinalampas ang Greenwich lasagna. Pero sandali lang, bakit lumiit at naging manipis ang lasagna?

Di ko din pinalampas ang pagkain nang pork inasal habang umoorder ang mga kasamahan ko ng isaw at tenga! Na parami ata yung pagkain ko lalo na nang bumili kami ng chicharon.

Pabalik na ako ulit sa tinuturi kong pangalawang tahanan, buti na lang ang inaasam-asam na lechon ay nabitbit ko.

Mike and Micah

I was once believed of a fairy tale and happy endings until my relationship with someone I knew ended with a night mare. (ok. Ok. My love story was not the story here.)

I was one of the many witnesses how this love story was written and made to happened.

When Mike started to make ligaw with Micah where up to the wee hours at Starmart east, cup of coffee and Mike's sentiments over her...even our Mission trips together were never a trip I could remember that he didnt mention of any Micah. Micah was not there, but spiritually. I hope Micah never tripped when those times we were just talking about her.

what you can hear on the other hand with micah was the irritating sentiments about mike. Kasabad. Kaulogot. When I did heard Micah saying good things about mike as manliligaw....when I know they were on na. And I could still remember how I reacted when Micah spilled the news that they were officially on. What did mike do? Magic mike?

there was never a day when they're together leaving or separating without a fight. This has made me wonder all throughout the day I know that they were really on! How come did A very fierce and strong hearted Micah said yes to a "kaulogot " na mike!

Their love story still made me believe of happy endings and fairy tales. indeed God has truly wrote their love story and gave them each other in an unexpected time. Who would have thought that these two servant leaders would be together despite of their many differences.

Mike and Micah, you were both an epitome of strong faith and love to the lord. That's why you have inspired many. May this inspiration be your guide in building a much stronger relationship and a happy family with your little mikes and micahs.

The journey in the CFC Community

I have my regrets of not being an active and consistent member of CFC YFC during my early years in the community. I have missed every teachings, camps, conferences, households, an opportunity to meet new brothers and sisters and most especially the relationship with my Lord that should have nourished and strengthen along. Just like anyone else, I gave priorities to the life outside the community.

But, I guess the love for the Lord was strong enough  because I still long for the service I was once had and continued the journey in the community through SFC.

In the height of my service as a chosen leader in Negros, a blessing of going abroad was a difficult decision for me as I have been greatly in love with my service to the Lord and His people. With the prayers and support from my brothers and sisters in the community and the messages God had sent me, I believed He has better plans for me why He suddenly answered this prayer of mine.

Now, I am in Singapore serving the SFC through the SFC Marketing and Communications Group. I am much delighted on how much the Lord had planned everything for me. Though my schedules didn't allow me most of the times in attending households and teachings, I'm glad that the Lord had set a special service for me to continue to serve Him in His greater glory.
