A FRESH START

--> I believe this was not the first time I've heard of this preaching... but it really struck my heart... This was the CCF pastor's preaching last Sunday... last Sunday was December 3oth... the last Sunday of December as well as of 2007...


In order to have a fresh START...

Stop making excuses (Prov. 28:13)
"Nobody can ruin your life without your permission"

Take an inventory of your life (Gal 3:4)
Ask yourself:
- what have I learned?
- what are my assets?
- who can help me?
"God uses your personal experiences, your vocational and educational experiences, your spiritual experiences, and your painful experiences to shape you."

Act in faith (Matt 9)
"In order to start acting in your faith, stop feeling sorry for yourself."

Refocus (Prov 4:23)
"... your life is shaped by your thoughts."
Start refocusing by confessing (being open to God), then by being focused (meditating on God's word)

Trust (Zech 4:6)
"... Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, says the Lord of hosts."

You need God for you to have a fresh start.

it was a simple new year's message yet it was so powerful... I thank God for that great sweet reminder... He knows just what is right for me...

happy and blessed and excited

HAPPY because...

...after a semester of application process member na rin ako ng ecotour...atlast! i heart ecotour!
...i'm almost done with all my requirements for this semester... isang event na lang tapos na...
...dahil malapit na sembreak ko [gulo ko noh? according to my previous post la na class... pero di pa rin sembreak? oh well, kasi may isa pa kong subject na 'no-comment-na-lang-ako'... at may paper na kakapasa pa lang...]
...sembreak na si GIA and she's planning to schedule an ice skating bonding! yehey! [sa mga interested sumama sa bonding na'to, please coordinate with GIA... ^_^]


BLESSED because...

...we just had our first session of the Worship Department Leadership Enhancement Seminar with Ptr. Anthony last night [kasi nga umaga na... ^_^]... the topic? [haha..] a leader must be a VISIONARY! [kakatuwa lang how God made that session connected with our topics sa towdah sessions... -c-,] kakamiss nga sina ate che ann at chayanne... kasi wala sila sa session kanina [ay, kagabi pala]...


EXCITED because...

...i will be having a copy of the fourth quarter issue Word4Utoday very soon [mamaya na nga yata]... yehey! [special thank you in advance, ate weng!]

...a few hours from now, [syempre umaga na di pa rin ako natutulog diba? hehe] Youth and YA Worship Revival na... sana nga MMR-wide na lang ung revival... la lang... para makabonding ulit ang mga taga COG-MMR churches... ANYWAY, kahit di kayo taga-dasma invite ko pa rin kayo... everybody's invited sa...

COG-Dasma Youth and Young Adults Worship Revival
October 13 [mamaya na!], 4-8pm
registration is free!

...im just excited... i believe has something for all of us sa revival...
...i believe the worship revival would be gathering hungry hearts and thirsty souls... i'm excited to meet with God together with co-youth and co-dancers...


la lang... nakakamiss ang mga ganitong bagay... ^_^


SAD also because of one thing i don't wanna ask or talk about... but i believe God has bigger plans why He didn't allow that to happen... i may still not understand it now, but in time i believe God will make me understand it...



God bless us all!

we pray

for the sake of our children/brothers/nation we pray,
for the sake of our children/brothers/nation we pray

we pray cover and keep them
with Your mighty Hand
hear our cry today
for the sake of our children/brothers/nation we pray...

we pray, pray, pray, pray
Lord, we pray
for the sake of our children/brothers/nation we pray...


--> this song has really melt my heart... when it was sung during the praise and worship yesterday, i couldn't help but cry... it urged me to pray for my country - and the families and the people... i cried even more when God showed me families being destroyed, children losing direction, media focusing more on the illnesses of the society... it's really piercing... but i do believe, these things must happen so God's glory will be seen in the Philippines again...

He's been exposing those things so we could seek more of Him... of His grace... so we could repent even more for the once-hidden sins of our nation while it's still not late...

Hear us from Heaven, Sovereign Lord!
Heal our land...

atlast!

whew! i thought we'd be losing internet connection forever... haha... of course that's just an exaggeration... something went wrong kasi with our connection for more than three days already... my dad and my brother told me smart bro had disconnected our internet access because we haven't paid for two months already... [kasi naman delayed lagi kung dumating ang billing statement ng smart bro..hmp..]

buti na lang mali sila... hehe... this afternoon, nanay talked to their call center... may nabago lang pala sa connection properties... kaya ayun! may internet connection na kami ulit...

-sigh- for the past weeks i've been going through times when i would want to feel bad about all the things happening in my life...

...money being stolen right at your own home
...overhearing parents' conversations on 'wala nang pera' 'eto and mga bayarin' etc
...learning the enemy has been corrupting families close to me

...flunking exams
...no replies from invited exhibitors
...professors expecting better class performance
...groupmates who don't contribute to the tasks

...being misunderstood
...getting confused with priorities

...feeling some friends only remember me when they need something from me

...feeling alone

...hopeless

...my list could go on...


but...


i still feel blessed... that i have a Friend up there who's always been beside me... He's not through with me yet... in fact, i feel there're more trials and problems to come...

but i believe...


that the God i'm serving is FAITHFUL...

His plans for me won't harm me... it would, instead, prosper me and give me hope...

"All things work together for the good of those who love Him..."

busy...

haha...
i really don't know if it's alright to say you're busy when you really are... kasi there have been series of preachings that gave an acrostic for BUSYness: Being Under Satan's Yoke... Minsan tuloy kahit gusto ko sabihin na busy ako, i use the term hectic or tight instead. kasi parang ayoko pumayag na i'm under satan's yoke...

ayun...

kaya for everyone's information, i have a quite tight schedule as of the moment... august na kasi...
church anniversary preparations, midterm exams, oral reports, completion of org requirements, preparation for allen's debut [haha!]...

Finally...

haha... this is my first blog meme [my first time to answer "tagged thingy" for that matter]. Kuya Myk tagged me about two weeks ago. Thanks kuya myk! Now, I finally had the time to answer this... Hooray!

1. Foods you hate:
Chinese dishes
- not that I really hate it... i just don't like too much seasoning on my food.
bagoong - i dont like the smell andI'm quite allergic to it.
sisig, bopis, and anything with laman loob - c'mon... spare it for your pet animals. =P
mushroom! - i feel like any of its kind was the same with that which once grew under our kitchen sink... haha...
anything with 'gata' anything with too much curry
chicharon - baboy, kalabaw, balat ng manok... wherever it's made of...
'okoy' - just don't like it...
lobster, tahong, oyster, clam, and other shellfish - it's too tasty...
anything too salty, too spicy or too sweet...
foods with 'patis' [fish sauce] - weird huh? hehe...

2. Fruits that you hate:
durian - i've already tasted it once... i jsut hate its smell.
pineapple fruit [but i drink pineapple juice].
cherry preserved peaches

3. Veggies that you hate:
ampalaya...

4. Celebrities or people that you hate:
Celebrities? - homosexuals, sexy stars...
- those who don't pay the right tax
People? - liars... robbers... people who do not respect privacy... arrogant...
- Filipinos who are not proud to be Filipinos

5. Events/incidents/situations you hate:
When people whom you trust the most do you wrong or betray you... Getting embarrassed in the public...
Getting late
[especially in class]...
Getting rashes and/or allergies whenever I feel sleepy... or when I am out of the house... or whenever my skin feels like having one... 'naaawa kasi sakin mga nakakakita... hehe..'
Whenever I realize that I could have done better after doing something...

6. TV shows or movies that you hate:
Violent shows like wrestling, some reality shows, sensual shows...
sexually explicit ones... horror...
any movie or TV show that promotes witchcraft and sorcery, like Harry Potter and Sabrina the Teenage Witch...
those that provoke anger, hatred, rage...
those that give wrong impression to the Philippines.

7. Type of music that you hate:
rap, hiphop, metal and hard core rock... those that contain sensual messeges...

8. Household chores that you hate:
Washing clothes - because it's painful to my hands...
Cleaning the comfort room...

9. Things you hate about the world:
Its sinful nature... the discrimination... corruption... greed... immorality... i don't like the wars...
Maybe, I don't really hate them... It's just painful to see the world getting worse...
AND maybe it's because it gives more reason to pray and ask for God's mercy... =)

10. Things that you hate about yourself:
I don't hate anything about myself... because I know God have loved and loves me for who I am... Siguro something that I would like God to release me from are as follows: my temper, my compulsion [to buy especially when I really like the book], offending people for my being honest with them, being too perfectionist... I don't like it when I know that God wants me to forgive [especially in the hardest times] but I don't... When I don't seek Him... When I get tired of reading His Word and knowing what He wants me to do...


That's it! Mahaba na masyado... Yan Kuya Myk hinabaan ko na kasi super late na ko nakaanswer... hehe...

Is it really part of the rule to tag somebody? well, if that's part of the rule... then I'm tagging anyone... na hindi pa natatag... haha...

He Knows My Name

this song helped me recover [hehe... recover talaga???] from the past [most recent, actually] traumatizing event in my life... -whew-

I have a maker
He formed my heart
before even time began
My life was in his hand

Chorus:
He knows my name
He knows my every thought
He sees each tears that falls
And hears me when I call

I have a Father
He calls me his own
He'll never leave me
No matter where I go


--> haay Lord... i just couldn't help but thank You especially for Your comfort and love... buti na lang pala nahiram ko ung CD nito kay mitch before what happened... hehe...

OC-OC ka ba???

repost from ate mhe... i just edited [put my opinion after each symptom... hehe]

"...last tuesday, we were discussing personality disorders and one of them is obsessive compulsive personality disorder.. the other one is obsessive compulsive disorder.. well, what's the difference..!? hmm.. hehe [medyo di ko kase matanggap yung explanation ng prof ko.. ang labo.. hehe] but according to myk, the first one is a lifestyle.. hehehe

nways, sabi dun, if you have at least four of the following symptoms, may Obsessive compulsive [personality] disorder ka... =p

check it out.

1. preoccupation with details, rules, lists, organizations or schedule.. [lagi kang may calendar etc and lahat naka-sched..]

--> haha... ganito ba ako??? hehe... ang lam ko, sabi one time sa personality test namin sa dance, EAST daw ako... imagine how eastern people [e.g. japanese] live... and act... ganun ibig sabihin nun... pero + factor naman daw 'to if you want to be an event organizer. you have to have an eye for details...

2. perfectionism

--> hmm... not really... hmmm... sort of... hehe... siguro i just want to give God my best in everything... so i also expect others [most of the time] to do their best as well... and im not satisifed with "pwede na"...

3. excessive devotion to work, ignoring even leisure activities and friendship

--> depende sa case... hehe...

4. over conscientiousness and rigidity regarding matters of morality

--> aha! hmmm... think so...

5. inability to discard worthless objects of no sentimental value

--> kasi lahat useful... in one wat or another... in their own special way... haha... may pagkabasurera din ako... haha...

6. reluctance to delegate tasks or work to others unless everything is done their way

--> dati siguro... but i learned to trust in what others can do na rin... plus God taught me to... ^_^

7. miserliness [always want to save for future]

--> ako??? mahilig lang mag-ipon... yeah! hehe...

8. stubborness

--> judge me... haha... slumbook? well, at times...


haha! how many did you get??!?! =p

R.S.V.P. repost

got this from kuya myk's blog...
for the benefit of all.. hehe...

  • "Répondez s'il-vous-plaît" or "Réservez s'il-vous-plaît", a French phrase that translates to "Please respond" or "Please book your place".
  • "Response Shall Verify Presence", an English substitute for the meaning of "R.S.V.P."

buti na lang...

buti na lang God has been controlling me today... nakakatuwa kasi when you commit yourself to Him, parang kahit magulo ung nangyayari sa paligid mo, you still feel at peace... ^_^

3:15 am my usual waking up time on TF's... had to prepare for my 7am class kase
i had my devotion first... [way of confessing na rin na hindi ako masyado naging consistent sa devotion nitong mga nakaraang araw]

4 am natapos ako magdevotion... took a bath... dressed up

4:30 am ginising si nanay... sabi nya maaga pa kaya natulog ulit sya...
opened the laptop to finish my assignment in T181..

5 am di pa rin ako tapos sa assignment... pero di ko rin naman sure kung ipapasa na talaga un... hehe... but i still tried to finish it....

5:20 am di pa rin tapos... but i decided to leave the house na... kasi baka malate naman ako sa 7am class ko...

5:30 am punuan na ang mga bus... medyo hirap na sumakay... but i still got a seat...

6:45 am oh my... mrt pasay pa lang ako... but i just could feel the peace of God within me...

7:25 am arrived at AIT... haha... nakasabay ko si reg paakyat... nung nasa 2nd floor na kami, nasa labas na ung iba namin classmates... aun pala wala pa prof namin... hehe... kaya pala Lord... ^_^

okei na rin... atleast nakarest pa ko before our 8:30 class began...

8:30 am dumating na prof ko sa tourism promotions[T153]... announcement ng course project related to medical tourism...tapos recall lang nung past lessons... pakita ng iba't ibang newspaper ads... discuss discuss.. tapos dismiss na...

10 am MICE management[T126]. same prof... eto medyo boring talaga 'tong timeslot na 'to... announcement ng OCLA on sept8, phil travel mart... lecture lecture... discuss discuss... tapos announcement ng course project [same 'to nung sa previous class.. joint project kasi..]... ayun... late tuloy nagdismiss ng class... but thank God di ako inantok... for the first time i survived both T153 and T126... haha...

11:35 am went straight to the library to finish my T181 assignment... naabutan ako ng lunch break so i had to wait for the librarian to come back... pero no worries pa rin...

12 noon naglunch muna kami ni cristle... i ate my fave meal... oatmeal COOKIE [all caps kasi gigantic ung cookies dun eh] and a bottle of mineral water

1 pm bumalik kami sa lib to print my assignment... bait ni mam ping... kahit di pa sila officially bukas pinayagan na ko magprint... hehe

1:10 pm pagdating namin sa classroom... sakto dumating ung prof... wow Lord... if we were just a minute late... mauunahan na kami dumating ng prof...

my class ended... received txt messages from ate weng... papunta rin pala siya UP... sayang di kami nag-abot... next time...

4 pm met nanay and tatay at glorietta... bought nyfd fries for merienda... headed home... kung saan saan kami dumaan para iwasan ang "congestion" [sa pinas, ang tawag jan... traffic... ^_^]

6 pm got home... dont feel that good... took a nap

6:30 pm my cousin woke me up... start na daw ng bday celebration ni tita ko... kaya aun... e ate dinner [i ate potato salad, fresh green salad and fried chicken]...
had some conversation... something happened... pero buti na lang... i know God is there to tame my emotions... di ako masyado affected sa mga narinig ko... although i felt bad to see my nanay and feel how she was feeling or might have felt that time...
nung tapos na usap usap, i went back home... then i started to IM.... tapos nagblog...

hmmm... first time ko lang yata ginawa 'to... ang magkuwento ng nangyari sa maghapon ko... ang gusto ko lang naman ipatotoo ay ang kabutihan ng Panginoon... ako ay nalulugod na patuloy kong nakikita ang pagkilos ng Panginoon sa buhay ko... gusto ko magpasalamat sa Kanya sa patuloy na paghugis Niya ng aking ugali at asal... para sa kaluwalhatian Niya...

bago ako matulog, nais kong humingi ng pasasalamat sa aking Amang nasa langit... nais kong papurihan ang aking Diyos... Siya ay buhay, tunay at tapat... Siya lamang ang makapagbibigay ng tunay na kapahingahan sa mga napapagod... at ng kapayapaan sa mga nababahala...

nagpapasalamat din ako sa Kanya dahil niregaluhan Niya ako ulit ng ulan ngayon... hehe... ayun...

good night! ^_^

Thursday, July 05, 2007

di ko naman inakala na nung sinabi ng pinsan kong, "hannah, andami mong regalo!" e seryoso talaga sya nun... akala ko nung sinabi ng tita kong, "napuno ung compartment ng kotse namin... regalo mo lang ang laman" e dahil marami ung paper bags... un pala totoo...

syempre, tulad ko, sobrang excited din sila na makita ung mga gifts sa'kin...

haha...

at dun namin napatunayan na hindi pala joke time ang mga nireregalo pag debut... di tulad ng christmas party o graduation party na madalas ang regalo ay picture frame o alarm clock...

haha...

pagkabukas ko ng mga regalo, nasabi ko na lang... "Lord, salamat po sa lahat... di ko inexpect na ibibigay mo po sa'kin tong mga gift na'to... what more could i ask for..."

nakakatuwa si Lord... binigyan Niya ko [through the people na nagregalo sa'kin] ng:

Bible!!!!

2 journals
--> hala... anu una ko gagamitin??? hehe


2 wallets
--> same question...


purple parker pen


approx. 7 books
--> di ko pa nga lang alam kung anu dun uunahin ko...

mp4 player
--> di ko na kelangan bumili para may napapakinggan ako sa byahe...
approx. 15 bags
--> malalabhan ko na rin ung mga luma kong bags

perfumes and colognes
--> mapipilitan na rin ako magcologne... hehe
stuffed toys [isang ahas, isang dog, isang cat, isang baboy] ^_^

blouses
--> na pwede ko gagamitin sa class ko na nagrequire ng smart casual attire...


3 wristwatches
--> alternate siguro ang paggamit


fancy at tunay na jewelries

scrapbook
--> yehey! may gagamitin na ko for my debut party pics!

lamp shades

charcoal portrait ko


letters

flower in a pot

payong

love birds

etc.






SA LAHAT NG MGA NAGBIGAY NG GIFTS... SALAMAT PO... SOBRANG NAAPPRECIATE KO LAHAT NG BINIGAY NINYO...

SA LAHAT NG NAG-ATTEND NG PARTY KO... SALAMAT PO NA MARAMI... YOU MADE MY DAY REALLY SPECIAL... IT WOULD HAVE NOT BEEN THAT UNFORGETTABLE HAVE YOU NOT BEEN THERE! ^_^

Thanks thanks!

Love you all!

thankful and satisfied...

i did not expect tons of gifts on my birthday... days before that special day, all i was asking was for
God to allow those special people to come to my party...

for months, i have prayed that God would let no world war to ever happen on that day... hehe... [for those who knows what i mean with this, please keep it secret... for those who do not know what i mean, wag nyo na alamin... di naman to masyado big deal... hehe]

i am just thankful... upto now... that God made that day great... i believe all of us enjoyed the night... twas not perfect... not at all...

-not with the cotillion dance
-not with the program itself
-not with the pink and white roses dance
-not even with the sleepover

but God moved a lot that it has been worth remembering... ^_^

haha...

praise God!

"when man works, man works;
when man prays, God works!"

books...

dahil di ko lam kung ano dapat unahin na basahin among the books that i received on my birthday, letters muna inopen ko... haha...

papagpray ko muna which book should i read first... haha...

at magulo na naman ang bahay namin...

ang naisip ko right after the party... haha...

-kasi naman pag-uwi naman ang dami nung gifts tapos dami rin kalat... ahaha...-

pero malinis na ulit bahay namin ^_^
nakarecover na...

amazing..

cant believe how God moved during my party...

as i was reminiscing each moment that's passed... our preparations... "ngarag" moments... "bangag" moments... and all... i can truly testify that "[God makes]all things work together for the good of those who love Him..."

haha... nakakatuwa... di ko inexpect na ganun na lang iaanswer ni Lord ung prayers ko... haha...

tulad na lang nito:

-the food which was good for 180 pax only [ginawa lang ni chef elmer na good for 200 pax]... pero nagkasya sa approx. 220 pax

[then i remember my prayer before the debut which goes like " Lord, if you have fed 5000 people and have turned the water into wine, you can make the prepared food enough for us..."

the result?? tsaran! may naiuwi pa kami... hehe...]


eto pa...

-alam ko when we started to plan for the debut, we were only considering 100 guests... due to limited budget... pero as that day comes closer... nakakagulat lang kasi halos nadoble yung head count... pero habang pinipilit ko tipirin ang number of guests... nagugulat na lang ako kasi nadadagdagan ung invitations... habang ayaw ko na gumastos ng additional, padagdag nang padagdag ung mga binibili for the gown, the invitations, upto the last minute na nagdagdag pa ng giveaways for the cotillioners... pero nakakagulat kasi alam ko nga limited lang ung budget... si Lord talaga... ^_^

-i was asking God for rain... kasi it makes me feel refreshed and renewed... while nanay, unknowingly, was praying for the rain to not fall on that day... haha... sabi sa'kin ni nanay, "atleast sinagot ni Lord both of our prayers"... kasi umulan din around 10pm...

nakakatuwa lang si Lord... hehe...

somebody told us din, "engrande ung party ni hannah... [though it's not really grand... i think it is -or should i say "it was"- God and His presence that made the party grand! ^_^]

i could just thank God for what He's done...

those are just few and among the simple things that God did and is doing in my life... and i thank Him for that....


*********

i am writing this as a testimony of how great our God is... and what He can do for me... if He has done that to me... He can also do it to you...

simpleng bagay pa lang yan...


*********

Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom
Or the strong man boast in his strength
Let not the rich man boast in his riches
But let the humble come and give thanks

To the One who made us, the One who saved us

I will boast in the Lord my God
I will boast in the One who's worthy
I will boast in the Lord my God
I will boast in the One who's worthy
He's worthy....
