Create

I'm working on adding labels to my blog for an easy research to the past and I pause for a moment because I'm getting inspired by my own blog, I mean, I sometimes get inspiration to 'create something' when watching my videos, viewing my photoshopped pictures and reading my old blogs. 

I gave my best in some of it and I think, I did great, well, in my own point of view. And yes, reading and watching those "I've created" fuels me to add more to the collection of my creations.

I'm not be the best in this field that I want but I guess it's not about competing, it's about making something. Just like the greatest movie of all time, yes, it's nothing, because any movie cannot compete with every movie and label it as the best. We appreciate beauty and art differently and there will be no movie on top of any other.

Hero movies

I recently watched superhero movies and it's amazing. But you know what, if you ask me which is my favorite of them all, I'll give you this..

I like spiderman but he can't fly, so I'd go with iron man, he can fly however, Iron man is a machine so I don't think he's a super hero with legit super power, maybe I'd go with Thor and with his amazing hammer but Thor is a god and I don't think he would fit the team. 

And it goes on.. antman.. and on.. deadpool.. and on..

Because.. You can't have it all.

Spark Hundred Island

It was this Lantern Scene, in the movie Tangled when I learned about Sky Lanterns. Ever since, I never stopped searching about it, I tried online shops but they sell hundreds of pieces. Well, I only need 2 and to be flown by my birthday.

Well, many days have passed, including birthday and new year and I found none. I haven't tried flying one. Still on my wishlist for the longest time.

So, now, there was this event called SPARK Hundred Island. 

Glowing Balloons | Sky  Lanterns | Fire Dancers | Live Band | Dance Party | Fireworks | 
Good thing, her team booked it and sabit ako!.

So, after the JIL's 38th year anniversary. Umuwi lang kami saglit ni Jas sa bahay para magshower something and we went straight to our meeting place.. SM MOA SMX Parking lot. 

From there, I met her teammates and finally, I met those people who she always talk about. It was nice meeting them. Nung nandun na kame sa tourist bus. Well, kwentuhan saglit kase kelangan na magpahinga. Nakatulog ako sa byahe. Si Jasmin, hindi mashado kase nagigising gising siya. Inaaway pa ko. Hahaha! :|

Umalis kame around 4am at nakarating sa Pangasinan around 11am. Nagbreakfast lang kame and we went boating, visiting one island to another and another and take pictures and videos and had fun, of course.

When we went back to the main island, we showered and eat some street foods and eat real food, at Dinner and waited for the Spark event to start.

Ballons with LED light.

JIL38 New Beginnings

My home church, the Jesus Is Lord Church Worldwide, is now.. 38 years old. Well, it's amazing how God use this church to reach out millions of people not only in the Philippines but, as the Church's name declares, worldwide.

If you haven't heard about it (which every JIL people should know by now), JILCW started with a bible study with just 15 college students from PUP where the Spiritual Director, Bro. Eddie Villanueva was teaching. It grows rapidly to the point where on it's 10th year anniversary, they're able to fill Araneta Coliseum (with 16,500 seating capacity) and as I remember, where I attended the 21st anniversary, it was held at Luneta Granstand, it was claimed that we're at millions. 

To put that into perspective, our local JIL Church is about to celebrate it's 26th year anniversary and we're less than 5, 000 active members. 

Highlights:

Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano. Celebrating his birthday with JIL's anniversary

The toss coin queen is here.

Former Congaressman, former TESDA director General, Senator of the republic of the Philippines and always been our Kristyanong Kabataan para sa Bayan Chairman, Joel Villanueva

Praise and Worship

The End is Where We Begin

Maybe you know our story, or maybe not. But, you know what, I cannot believe that I'll have a story to tell. That's why I can't stop thanking God for what He has done for us. Well, there's always hope. 

I still remember the day that she caught my eye, I felt like a statue. I can't help myself smiling every time this memory passes by. She's teaching the kids some dance steps when I caught myself gazing magically. 

After few moments, I argue with myself because this should not be happening. Everything took place unexpectedly. I asked myself some questions that pushes me to stay away because my feelings might be temporary. I start asking God to filter my heart and mind and reveal unto me my real intention. And somehow, there's something that tells me to pursue friendship with her. 

I asked myself genuine questions.. Why do I like her? What do I want from her? What's my plan? And the list goes on.. and on.. There's too many questions to answer. Everything seems complicated. 

I crumpled all those questions and leave with one: Is she the one that I want to spend the rest of my life with? At that time, I'm not sure. Why? Because..

The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it? Jeremiah 17:9

So, I asked the One who can give me an absolute answer. In His amazingly mysterious ways, He showed me how to love. He revealed His plan and said..

I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. Ezekiel 36:26

And we just celebrated our first year.

One Year

October 17, 2016

Today is a very special day. It's our 367th day as partners. Who would have thought? Again, this is the time where I should be saying sweet and cheesy message but I cannot. For some reasons, I'm getting speechless again. I'll just let the word flows while I'm listening to some groove. Or maybe, I'll share our anniversary date. Hmm. Well, I think that's a great idea. 

Early in the morning, I went to her house to make some sundo because we have a day to spend together. I really don't know the plan, because I don't have any, all I know is this day should be cherished. 

I have a deep plan but for reasons like: Money, time and everything. My plan didn't work out well. So, we glued ourselves to our last choice.. Tagaytay. And it wasn't a bad idea after all.

We went to Tagaytay in the late morning and the weather is perfect, the storm just went away and it's not that cold. 


Our first stop is at the Peoples Park In The Sky.

We walked around, sharing our stories and enjoying the view and the breeze but all we want is lunch. So, dumaan lang talaga kame dito. Hahaha!

So, we searched for a place to eat. Take note, ang mahal ng pamasahe dito. Though may Jeep na nadaan na mas mura, pero madalas kase, tricycle ang nanjan. Alin ba pipiliin mo, yung pinaghihintay ka o yung nandyan na all this time? 

Picnic Grove

Sobrang tagal naming magisip ng makakainan, in the end, nagbulalo kame. Syempre, Tagaytay = Bulalo. Hahaha! Plus sisig pa. Matapos namin ienjoy ang mainit na bulalo. Nagpahinga kame sandali sa restaurant and nagpunta na ng Picnic Grove. 

Sa entrance palang ang lakas na magyaya ni ate maghorseback riding. Ang mahal mga friends. ₱350 isang kabayo, di naman pwedeng dalawa kame sa isang kabayo, kawawa naman. Hahhaha! Kaya kumuha kameng 2. N akakatakot sa una, hirap magbalance pero mabilis lang naman masanay. 

Horseback riding

Tapos, tinuruan din kameng kontrolin yung kabayo, to the left and right at nagkarera pa kame ni Jasmin. Hahaha! Di namin tinapos yung 1 hour na renta because it's masakit sa pwet na you know. So bumaba na kame at tiningnan yung pictures namin kay kuya, kumikitang kabuhayan dito bes. 100 kaagad yung pictures. San ka. XD

Nagstay lang kame sa Picnic Grove para sa views and everything. At eto yung pictures namin na nahihilo kame. HAHAHAHHA!

Gusto sana naming magStarbucks, balita ko kase maganda magstarbucks at the top. Kaso, magskyranch pa kame, try lang.

Sky Ranch

Activities:
- Sky Cruiser - Yung magpepedal ka sa railroad ng roller coster. 
- Lobster Pot - Yung hagisang bola na ubos pera.
- Sky Eye - This is where she handed me the Blue Magic bag that she's carrying since we left her home. Nahiya ako bigla. Panis ang regalo nya sa'kin tapos ako walang regalo. :( She's giving me hints about her gift, di ko alam tawag dun pero puno siya ng creativity and pictures namin and of course. With her love. Keenes, nahihiya siya sa regalo niya with all her excuses, kase daw ganto, kulang sa oras, rush nya ginawa pero ako walang regalong katulad nun. But I'll make bawi. Don't me. 

It's an amazing gift. Filled with love. I felt that I am deeply loved. Di lang basta basta love 'to. I see her effort to make me smile, - I mean happy. I'm already happy just being with her but she makes it more meaningful with her gift. 

Before we go home, we searched for some pineapple. Because Tagaytay is the place. :)

It's our simple way of celebrating our anniversary. What I realize today is I really wanted to explore the world with her and that I love her so much. Hayy. :)

1'm Speech7ess

How can I admit that sometimes words are not enough?
When the one thing that I thought I'm good at starts to function indecently.
And when the words bolted out, what is the remedy?

Turning to some crazy-and-overly-cheesy-love-songs will do
Because I admit, it stirs up the sentiments stored in my soul
Then, the panting for romance transcends beyond what I think I can cover
That it produce something in my chest that makes a drummer inside of me detonate

Because words are not enough to utter what engenders my speechlessness
Maybe I can use the most simple and most common words to express all of these 
And just blend it all up with sincerity in the most prominent one

For you gave love unconditionally. Who would think that there is someone that will love me beyond condition. I don't know how did I qualify in at least, one of your choices.
I simply don't deserve this. Yes, I don't.

Astonishing, this is how I describe the steps that I took on my way to your eye. 
Looking back I know that she's out of my league and I'm out of my mind
I tried drawing near until my mind reached it's blind spot
To the point that I'm not sure what it will bring, some pain? Sorrow? Sleepless nights? Brokenness? Emptiness? 

I'm sure that when I was wooing her, I'm really out of my mind. Well, maybe because I'm really using my heart. 

Who would have thought? We're celebrating our 1 year today. 

Happy 1st anniversary! Mahaba pa ang lakbayin natin. Well, you know what, I truly believe that you are God's gift to me, a package worth owning and keeping for life and I know that my life will be extremely beautiful because I have you here with me. 

I remember the time when she called me "Bebs".
"Hallelujah" is my battle cry.

When to speak up?

I have this simple question inside me for a long time. 

All I ask is when to speak up
when to stand up and express what you feel?
Is it when its too late, or too early.
And how would you know that it's too late or too early?
When is the perfect time?

Because we're afraid.
We're worried for the result.
We're so afraid of the conclusion in the end
that is all present just in our head.
