Grace

I am resolved to the fact that -
I have a GREAT GOD who loves me more than any words put together can encompass and describe.
He sees more of me than any human eyes can possibly capture.
He gives premium to what's best for me and not anything else less than that.
It is because of His love, grace and mercy that I am able to live.
He sustains me through and through.
My cup will overflorw for a lifetime because my God is the source of abundance to everything.
My actions are my praises to Him.
May works and engagements bring glory to His name, forever :)

Sisterhood

This is one of the sweetest moments I have witnessed so far. After a long day in school, an elementary girl just came home in the camp. She saw her friend. Without any delay, she called out loud her friend's name while running towards her direction. When the friend was already within her reach, she hugged her tight and coupled it with a little lift - a boost of some sort ^___^

Emotional Emergency Response

If crying will wash all these frustrations and disappointments within,
I’d gladly devote the whole day to release what I feel through gushing tears.
How can we be insensitive at times to blurt statements which we claim to be words of relief?
It’s true. When someone’s crying, do not yet say a thing.
Keep Q.U.I.E.T.
Silence says everything you wanted to convey. It’s a full message in itself.
It’s not actually about how good your words are, or how meaningful they are;
It’s not even how much they will impact me.
To tell you the truth, they do not make sense at this time.
It’s your presence that matters to me.
Just be there at my side; and again, you need not utter a word.
A tap or hug will do. However, know that being there with and for me means so much already.


Your blaming aggravates everything.
What’s the sense in pointing fingers?
The recall, and the what if’s, I deem irrational now. Never mention them.
I take full responsibility on the recent loss,
But please, allow me to feel blue over the said loss of that something which has been very close to me for a time.
More than anyone else, I deserve this.
If you really care enough, SHUT UP.

Here's To My Lost Watch

I do not know where this frustration is rooting from?

Is it because I lost the watch that has a very strong sentimental value to me?

Or is it because of my knowledge on how it got lost when there was this chance to save it?

Come to think of it, that watch and I have been together for more than five years.

It was the sole thing I bought with my first salary, as per advised by my grandmother, "buy something of value that you can keep in this lifetime".

Honestly, it’s more than a watch to me.

It has been my source of comfort.

Others may take this as an exaggeration, but I feel queer without it wrapped on my wrist.

I remember, there were days I even return home just to get it after realizing that I forgot to wear it.

Since I bought it, there was never a day that passed that I did not use it.

The thought of not having it wrapped on my wrist today, and more likely in the rest of the days in this lifetime, is something that really pierces my heart.

I can sure have another one, but it is not the point.

Upon probing, I learned that when others saw it yesterday, they asked me whether I own it or not,
Honestly, I do not know for what reason that I cannot remember such calling of attention;
And if it’s true that they did, how can such fact fall into deaf ears?
How can I brush off a matter of importance to me?
Another one saw it and upon the assumption that it’s mine, he knocked on my door, but alas, I was not in the room.

So, he just placed it on top of the other stuff that were left, too.
I am now baffled whether he is really concerned of me getting it, or if he sincerely puts any value to that watch?
For if he is, I do not think it is sane for him to leave it just right there and then, at that.



Early today, I looked for it. I have meticulously checked all my bags for the nth time.
Yes, I thought that I just misplaced it inside the room because I cannot recall the one they shared about yesterday.
But, the whole mood changed when the man who saw it narrated the story.
Now, we have to attack the incident logically.
I raised a lot of questions to him: ‘what time did he see it?’, ‘where did he leave it?’, ‘what else were there with the watch?’, ‘who were the people at the venue when he left it?’, etc.

But honestly, all I wanted to ask him was – ‘why did you not forward it to the front desk, or to the lost and found?’


Worse is, they have consistently brought up the fact that I left it somewhere, and that I was not particular on my things, on what I deem important.
Again, I take full responsibility on this, but I do not have a good reception to a quick blaming, especially if it is delivered indifferently.

I did not even have the time to ‘grieve’ for such loss;
I was already subjected to a rash finger pointing.

If my defensive side will think aloud, it will express these points:
‘The matter here is not about me carelessly putting it there;
If no one will touch it, it will remain to be where it is.
As it is on the table near the water dispenser, I will surely make my way in finding it there.
Alright, someone saw it, at least he could have been concerned enough to find a way to return it to the owner, or make known that he found such.
I believe it is not only I who left something important, somewhere –out of will, of course!
But, yes, I am one of those unlucky ones who did not get back what was left or misplaced.
If the argument is because I left it there that's why it got lost, that’s very defensive of the finder to handle an act of negligence over something that he has found.’

I can burst like a bomb, but I chose not. However, I can’t help but to answer him, ‘to resolve all this pointing of fingers - all towards me; I should have not gotten that watch more than five years ago from my first salary, so that I did not have anything to leave carelessly somewhere.’

I can really be irrational when I am pissed.



My reflection: At times, it’s not our carelessness on leaving our things somewhere that can cause us much frustrations and emotional pierce, but it’s about other people’s dishonesty, their negligence in handling those when found, and the fact that some people do not give the slightest of importance to the things we value the most :”(

Life's Lessons

Some of my reflections over the past months :)

1. Do not just love life, LIVE IT.

2. When one thinks that he can only do so much, he is quite saying that he cannot do more, thus going any further is a slim possibility.

3. A sudden loss of a loved one is very difficult to bear. It will surely be easy for others to claim that they have an idea of one's grief for the loss, when in fact no one will ever understand what exactly the kind of pain being went through by the person.

4. There is more to happiness why a person engages and unceasingly finds means to heed her passion.

5. Heeding the call of your passion isn't always easy.

6. Each one is capable of doing something worthwhile for others. Whatever good we share, how little it may seem, it can have a huge impact to the ones who were directly benefited by the gesture of kindness.

7. Helping is never a matter of competition. For the ones who think it is, they may see the act as more than a sincere extending or sharing of oneself.

8. There will come a point that we are too much comfortable of the routines that we do and that the mere thought of it makes us feel uncomfortable.

9. There must be a reason enough to leave one's comfort zone; if there isn't, I am not sure if anyone will dare to do so.

10. To consciously escape the thought of death, denying such, is like living life partly blind.

11. At times, we calim that what we do is our passion, but how come it does not feel right?

12. Our points do not make us winners rather it's how we deliver them, or how we handle the criticisms directed to us because of our stand.

13. It's not our big brains that can pull us through life's adversities, it's more dependent on our big hearts.

14. Unless everyone in the group will be open-minded, we can never have a dialogue in the real sense of the word.

15. Power has been allowed by others to drastically change who they are, but kudos to those who have shaped power according to the values they live out.

16. It is unfair for God to be put inside people's little box; and I firmly believe that for people to act like 'little' gods is a worse, if not the WORST, kind of insult.

17. We are shaped by others, only if we consciously allow them to.

18. Traveling is a way of exploring the world, and within.

19. We travel for various reasons, and we are adveturous and risk-takers to relatively varying extents.

20. Relationship is not a sort of pass or ticket for one to have power or ownership over the other, it's more of a commitment that fosters the 'bringing out the best' in each one involved.

21. We should not allow losing control over the sole person we should be in control of - OURSELVES.

22. If we push ourselves too hard, tendency is, ourselves will get back at us, too hard as well.

23. Savor the moments you are alone because to some others, being alone can mean a luxury they cannot afford.

24. If we only allow ourselves to be keen about the interconnectedness of our encounters, past and present, we'd be in awe to realize that after all, coincidence is just a word - nothing more, nothing less.

25. Rationalizations will always come in handy if we wanted to avoid our responsibilities, what we ought to do. Just when we thought we have outwitted others, we soon realize that it's ourselves that we have cheated on and not really others.

26. We begin to fret and feel pressured every time we make the world's standards as our own.

27. Some delays are because of the inevitable circumstances we are in, or because of the circumstances we have consciously chosen oursleves to be in.

28. It is unfair to blame others for who we are now. We have all the faculties to rise above every difficult situation we have faced; the decision to become better or bitter has never been dependent to others, even to the one who maligned us or that one who inflicted us with much pain.

29. Dreams do not happen in a snap, we work for it, every single day we are alive.

30. When all esle fails, LOVE :*

Fuzzy the Dog

Until now, I am still baffled as to how I managed to pose with 'FUZZY', Br.Raffy's dear dog. I am really afraid of dogs. At times I find myself changing route, even if it means much time is needed to get to the destination, just to avoid dogs. Thus this is such a rare case!~^^ So, what prompted me to do this? Maybe it's the thought thatJaycee and Mimi will make B.I.G. FUSS if I won't play with FUZZY.lol! Thank you for uploading this picture, Ronn. The long wait is truly worth it! :)

Death Today

If I were to die today,
Will I be happy with the kind of life that I have led and lived?

If I were to die today,
Will I leave this world without hang-ups and fixation on some aspects and phases of my life?

If I were to die today,
Have I done enough of my share in world-building, and love-sharing?

If I were to die today,
Have I been honest enough with my feelings and emotions to whom I felt those for?
Thus, I don’t harbor any regrets for failing to let the concerned know.

If I were to die today,
Have I been forgiven by those, whom I have offended, hurt or inflicted pain to?
And have I let go of the ills I have felt against others?

If I were to die today, can I say that I have lived a full life?
If I were to die today, am I completely ready?
If I were to die today, will I die happy, content and fulfilled?

Paradox

If you talk depth, you are overly reflective, critical, analytical;
if you talk trivial, buzz, fuss, you are plain superficial.

If you talk less, you are really not participating;
if you talk more, you are monopolizing.

If you cry, you are emotional,
if you won't, you are naive.

If you dream, you are ambitious,
if you won't, you are meidocre, hopeless.

If you probe, you are nosy,
if you opt for silence, you are unaffected.

If you worry, you are cynic, negative,
if you won't, you are lax, if not, too sure.


Dichotomies. Paradoxes.
Know where to stand.
Fight for what you feel you ought feel.


Naturally, people will have something to say.
Good or bad is it that you do, they have something to blurt.
You might as well do what gives you peace.

Volunteer

It was just last May when I fervently hoped to secure a shirt like this. I just took a picture instead as it's impossible for me to have one. I do not work with UNFPA, or I am not directly related to any of their projects. How then can I have one? Marry someone who has it? LOL! That's too much to ask for a shirt. haha!

Alvin Ysulat, remember the time we took shots of the shirt's message, all angles possible, while the program is going on? And now, I have one! Amazing it is. Dream, and keep that desire within..for all you know, you have it with you already! Yehey!

Simple as it may seem as this is all about a shirt, but it made me realize that if something is bound to find its way to you, it will. No accidents, everything is a part of a great, grand PLAN :)

To God be the glory!

Shirt Collections

If I were not here in Iligan, it's quite impossible for these shirts to find its way to me:)

I started the first wave of packing for the exit and look what I have found? Amazing it is! Daghang salamat to the generous people who were instrumental in realizing this collection. This came about unconsciously, unplanned. However, wearing them will consciously remind me of a great journey I have shared with people who have B.I.G. H.E.A.R.T.S., who always make helping and touching people's lives as their priority more than any recognition there is.

Let me say this again, it is not enough that we share our advocacy verbally; at times, it requires us to wear them. Some people are highly visual, let's be kind to them. ^__^

It's in 20's

Restless? That feeling that you are like a misplaced energy. You have so much potentials to make things happen but the reality where you are is very limiting?
It seems that you have been jumping from one job to the other?
You are having difficulty in getting what you deem 'you deserve'.
That feeling when you do not know exactly what you want.
You get confused on what opportunities to choose, or you have been dying to get a break, even just ONE break and you'll make it BIG.
Tired of the many crossroads that you have to go through and confront over and over again?


There is this unending pursuit of happiness.
The urge to find one's niche'. The search for one's place under the sun.
Questions come rushing like a strong current:
Is it about money or heeding one's passion? Or, why is there difficult time chasing for both? Can't they come together in one opportunity?
Is it about choosing to stay at the comfort zone, or daring to go out in search for adventure?
Is it about engaging oneself to deep commitment, mere intimacy, or superficial relationships?


Partying whenever and wherever? Or locking up oneself alone?
Identity crisis? Losing one's identity, or trying to get deeper within to know who you really are?
When you decide on such issue, whose call is it? Yours? Your parents, friends or what other people and some strangers say?
Trade-offs. Opportunity cost. What will you be willing to compromise?
Feeling of worthlessness? Or happy, accomplished?
Found one's worth, and a circle worthy of emotional investment?
Young and wild? Young and free?
It can also be, YOUNG, WILD and FREE, but knows HER RESPONSIBILITIES.


Settling down, getting married? Opting for singlehood?
Or enjoying the complications and complexities of the relationship?
Forced singlehood? Forced or fixed marriage?
Single parenthood: enjoying the bliss, or hurdling the pang of burden?
Having found the love of your life, but confused whether it will be worth it to leave the life you have led all these years behind?
Or you took courage to get married and have found new direction and vocation from it.
Standing up for love? Or you have let others define how to deal with it?

Pretensions and facades, unending ways to conceal the current state, the present pains .
Is it belongingness that you long for?
Is it really necessary to hide what you go through?
If you trust your significant circles so much, then you lay to them your concerns, in black and white.
Never underestimate their capacity to understand you.

Are your actions derived from your fear of failure, or moved by your ardent drive to success?
Is it for yourself that you are doing it? If not, then for whom?

Peer, parental and societal pressures can be very powerful.
They have the capacity to unconsiously manipulate your life's direction.
They can give you the greatest emotional blows if you allow them to take the center stage of your life.
They may compare you to others of your age.
If you are lucky, you then have all their praises.
If you fall short of their expectations, banter here and there is but an understatement of what they can possibly do.

Too comfortable that you opted to stay? Or where you are now is too comfortable that you are itching to leave?
Up for something new, something challenging? But the thought of difficulty and uncertainty make you think twice.
You decided to stop entertaining the opportunity to explore, allowing yourself to be paralyzed.
To stay inside the box, or outside of which, is a decision you have to consciously resolve.
Know your reasons for doing so, not because you owe others explanation, but yourself simply ought to know.


Self-inflicted pressures?
Pushing oneself to the limits. What are you proving? That you are great? Fine, you are. Now, stop.
Be kind to yourself more than anyone else.
Stop the comparison once and for all.
You are different. They are different. And your choices set a bigger gap between the lives you lead now.
Know your craft and master it.
This lifetime does not really require us to be excellent at everything; be adept with at least a thing and you are then good enough.



Quarter-life is but a phase that many issues beset.
One has to realize that these issues are shared by almost everyone, and that there is nothing to be ashamed about; there is nothing to fret about.
It is important for one to be resolved of the kind of person she is becoming,
then she has to consciously pull everything under her power towards its actualization.


This is a breeding time for dreams, for BIG dreams.
This is again a phase, like many other life's phases, this will surely come to pass.
However, issues at hand have to be dealt head-on, lest this will surface as more aggravated issues during mid-life.
Know that escaping the issues does not in any way offer solutions, it even adds to the problem.


We do not neglect every encounter we have at this phase, rather we savor it with all gusto.
This is a defining point to many.
One gets to decide whether to become mediocre or achiever.
The next years that will follow will take so much brush of influence from here.

The best thing about Quarter-life crisis is that the people who go through such have a very good excuse to be adventurous and risk-takers, they are regarded as people who braved 'real world' to discover life's 'real worth'.


Restless? Continue exploring because you will never know where you best fit until you have tried going out from where you are. If you are happy where you are now, well and good. However, you might just be happier somewhere else. Nobody knows actually. All of us were born with innate instincts, if it feels right, it might be. But, if you feel there is something missing, there surely is. Do not stop until you find what it is.


This is also a time for the countless 'what ifs' that might linger for a lifetime. Unaswered.
Fears can be overwhelming as much as frustrations.
Unmet life's deadlines and unmet projections on plans may lead to frustrations.
Frustrations may lead to depression, even suicidal ideation or suicide itself.
These issues, when not properly dealt with, may develop to some behavioral problems of sorts.
Blaming : oneself, or others. Self-pity. Angst.

Whatever extent is your share on this life's phase, you have the power to rise above it all.
You have what it takes.
Every encounter is meant to make you better, please do not take that detour of becoming worse.

Enjoy the ride! Your 'right' attitude is your gasoline, it will keep you going.
Believe, keep the faith :)

Corn and Eggs

When people ask me how did I survive the past six months here in Iligan, I do not actually know where to start. It's not that I am having a hard time to recall, rather the difficulty comes from the fact that there are so many stories that need to be told. Goodness after goodness. Kindness unceasingly shown. The cycle never stops.

I was sustained by people's generosity, unexpected most of the time. In many instances I do reflection, I cannot help but to tag myself as blessed. I am blessed. There is no reason for me to keep these blessings solely for my personal consumption. This has to be returned to the world. This has to be shared to others. I thank the people in my circle, for your support, love and understanding. Thank you for inspiring me to be generous. I hope I have mirrored your goodness well.

This is yet another unexpected blessing. Simple gesture of thoughtfulness that means a lot to me. Thank you to my angels today, Yano Ranalan Aguilar and Fy WOng :) May your cups overflow for a lifetime. I am deeply overjoyed by these. Lovelove :*

Crazy Roommates

Cheers to a roommate who would run after you from the 9th floor to the ground floor just because you took a picture of her sleeping, slightly drooling :) Cheers to a roommate who is one of the factors why you developed an insomnia because she practically studies the whole time, having only an hour or two for sleeping. Cheers to a roommate who patiently endured the endless chatters and room 'concerts'. Cheers to THE CRAZY ROOMMATE who have put up so well, with flying colors, to our own dose of insanity.

Eunjoo Son! 생일 축하합니다! May you have a blast today. Too bad, Ana Salera and I are not there to throw a party for you.kkk...
We look forward to that day when someone will accept your marriage proposal so that we'll be compelled to fly there, and we be finally reunited @ Baekyang 기숙사. LOL!

We love you, that's for sure!

Project BP Apparatus

Remember Tatay Marcial? He was the blind man Doc Anisah and I visited last May. It's been nine years now that he is blind because of diabetes. When asked what does he want, we were dumbfounded as he only wants a BP set for he lost his own set during Typhoon Sendong.

My encounter with him gave way to many realizations. First, we'll never know whether the senses we enjoy now will last a lifetime. No one holds an eye and be certain to what the days may unfold. We savor with all gusto whatever that we have now. We never cease to appreciate and thank God for it. Second, the seemingly simple things to us may mean DREAMS or even just WISHES for others. To many, a BP app is something one can get in a snap. What's P1,700? Nothing. But, to Tay Marcial, it means close to everything. Third, he disturbed me for some good reasons. That meeting compelled me to do something. If I cannot give him what he is asking, I might as well bridge his dream to whoever can make it a reality. There you go, I learned the art of 'social begging'. I have seen a need, it was expressed to me, I have to do something to let the world know. I do not care if they won't help, what I care is - I get the message across those who are able.

Many days have passed since that first meeting. A number of generous people shared. To date, we have enough to start the first round of Training on BP and Vital Signs Taking to Community Health Leaders among the Sendong survivors. Through this, we can be assured that there will always be people in the community who know how to take BP and vital signs in the absence of health workers, especially on those times beyond office hours.

We have chosen to start in Tay Marcial's place -to honor the person who inspired us to do this. And it is a serendipity to see him by their door, listening to the radio. His family was transferred to a permanent shelter from a bunk house where I first met him. Amazingly, his house is just across the venue of the training. I ran to his direction and told him how the training came about. I can feel his heart. He is moved as much as I am.

I said this before and I will say this again, if my heart were a bomb, it could have exploded right there and then. But the difference now is - it's a happy explosion ^________^

Daghang salamat to everyone who made this possible for Tatay Marcial. I pray that your cups will overflow for a lifetime for sharing what you have. God Bless us all

Stereotypes

Do not define me and how should I be.
Please refrain from telling me what I ought to do, and what I should say.
No offense, but the box you have for me? I'll never fit.
You can only put up with me if you learn to accept the fact that I will never be someone made by others for me to wear.
I only have myself to flaunt in this lifetime. I might as well 'wear myself' consciously all the time.

Your definition of success and stability are far way different from mine.
I am very sorry to disappoint you over and over again.
You define stability along with tenure and in my case it’s being mobile, going around places, no fixed plan, no fixed time.
I come when needed, and leave when I am not.

Your compass is what other people’s standards are, like ‘what someone your age should be doing and should have accomplished' at this time.
I care less if I am not getting any younger, as we all are moving towards getting older.
I only have my heart as my compass on what I will heed.
I will remain loyal to what it says for it has never failed me so far.

No one is too young to know what her passion is.
It happened that I knew mine at a relatively younger age than many.
You may actually have known your craft long before, but have consciously put a blind eye to it, you brushed it off.
But I would rather bear the criticisms of others than to deal with the most difficult critic to handle – myself.
So, even how difficult things might get in the pursuit of my passion, I will never let go of it.
I wll unceasingly chase all means to better heed my passion, it’s the air I breathe.

You might have compared yourself to me, ending up pitiful of my lot for you have so many things that I don’t.
You have bought all the world’s fanciest. You are enjoying, I suppose. And know that I am sincerely happy for you.
But I do not want you to worry about me as I am truly happy with the life I lead.
I have met countless people in my travels; each close encounter with them brought me to be a better me.
I have seen a much bigger world than what I have thought to myself long before.
Some places I have been are enchanting, some are challenging and some can be heart-breaking.

I must admit that my account in the bank is as good as nothing, no savings at all.
I only live through God’s providence.
To date, my cup has never run out for there had always been people who extend hand along the way.
You must be enjoying the security of a fixed salary, of a long list of benefits and even that of bonuses.
You can be sure that I, too, am enjoying the unexpected help from friends and even from strangers.
I take joy in what they seemingly regard as 'little', it means much to me as most of which - I did not expect to receive.

Fall into a good rest while on your comfortable bed in your concrete house, newly built.
Again, be assured that though I am living like a nomad, I can always find myself hosted by generous and kind people. In places I have been to, there’s always a house that warmly opens for me.
While going through a heavy traffic jam, you might have seen me walking, let me be.
These feet have brought me to places no vehicles can enter, remote areas difficult to imagine or explain.
Let me honor these feet and allow myself to be brought to more places.
If I get tired, I have always the luxury to choose from pedicab, habal-habal, jeepney, bus and if I get really lucky, I’d take a taxi or yet another free ride from you or someone kind.



It seems that we are enjoying the best of both worlds.
And now that I have shared with you that I am totally fine, it is but fitting that you, too, will enjoy to the fullest, to its fullness, the life you have been bestowed of, that one you have defined to live.
I reckon that success and the state of being rich are defined by us, by the kind of priorities we set.
No one can tell us whether we are successful or rich using their own standards for we ought to have our own.

I may be a failure to you or others who have high hopes of me, but should I take that tag, be fully at peace because –
I AM A HAPPY FAILURE.
However, deep within, I know I succeed.
I succeeded far way better than what I have expected myself to deliver.
And most of which, the most influential factor, is not that I am clever and excellent but it is because my backer, up there, has been very consistent in providing me the grace that I need to pull things through.



In my poverty, I see the richness of hearts of people.
In my desire to reach out, I was greatly helped to reach within.
The risks I took made me more confident about myself and in what I can do.
The disappointments, hurts and pains have made me more human and more humane in the long run.
The love, compassion and respect I give are reflected very well by those I meet or work with.
I feel so blessed, and I believe you are, too.

We have found our niche’ and I can only hope that we take every opportunity to be of help to others.
We share our talents, skills and capacities to those who might take benefit from it.
We are where we are now for some best reasons, and though we may have many differences brought by the nature of our engagements and the life we choose to live up, I know we are one in our pursuit of happiness.

If I cry now, forgive me, it is out of pure elation.
Again, we continue defining our own.
Do not define me based on what you have achieved, and I also do not have any right to define you based on who I am today.
People need not heed one calling. Isn’t it silly if we are all the same? Such monotony, surely we cannot bear.

We are different because we are custom-made for something.
We are tailor-made for our missions.
We complement, complete each other.
