Romans 15:23-33

As I read the verse, it is about the plan to go to some place to serve God by sharing the gospel and save more souls. But before going to the plan, he will go first some other place to do same to save more souls. He exactly planned it well the way he will do the action and the possible things that might happen. Indeed, he claimed that everything will go through and that nothing is impossible to God. This is the same as my personal plans that I have. It seems that it is a reflecting story that God showed me as a guide for the fulfillment of it. I have plans for plant a business in my hometown, I had already planned the place, the look and everything as a whole. I had also made the 'stairway' plan for that to accomplish. And I am actually starting to put it on action. But what God tried to tell me here is that I should always seek Him for guidance, strength, prosperity and others at first thought upon finished reading for the first time.  Suddenly, when I went throught readin

Rain

Rain just can’t stop pouring here in Singapore. It has been like this since Saturday and everyone ( oh well, at least that’s I know of  ) just can’t do what they want – volleyball for instance. But I know some who still played volleyball even though it rains a bit. However, there are some activities I saw for some people out there that were done even if it is raining. Some stayed at the mall ( though it is very cold ), some played at home while others spent some time with their families and friends in some areas like noodle house and coffee shops. What’s good to do for this raining season? Of course, some people prefer to stay at home rather than to get soaked in the rain outside. It is also the time where you can bond together with your family and loved one. Take this opportunity to reconnect with them and share your experiences with one another – laugh one another. It is not only renewing the bonds that you had but also strengthens the relationship bind. Also, it is the best

Planned registration failed!

Early this afternoon I was about to go to Philippines Embassy for OWWA registration but the rain just can't stop pouring. Plus I was runnin out of time because I have my scheduled shepherding at 3:00pm. Wondered why I didn't go in the morning instead? I woke up late... Maybe due to the heavy rain. It was a long and full sleep because the raining essence makes me want to sleep more. But because of my agenda, I woke up and hurriedly do my preparation routine and off to go. However, the rain stops me from going and it's around 2:15pm already. If I am going to proceed to the embassy, I will be late for my shepherding. Later my boyfriend texted me and offer his time to go with me to embassy next week and then I agreed. So hopefully by next week, I will be able to register for OWWA membership. Here I am right now waiting for my friends for the shepherding. ;)

What a blessed Sunday

I am inspired to create this blog because of the wonderful experience I had on February 7, 2010 Sunday. And would like to share it to you guyz… I woke up early in the morning to go to my usual Sunday fellowship. I was late then but it did not stop me from worshipping God and be with them. The message was also so inspiring and I would love to share the message: Joy in Trails based on the text from James 1:2-12 2Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. 4Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 5If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. 6But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. 7That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; 8he is a doubl

Sick days

It started on Friday (Jan. 29, 2010) when I feel a bit uncomfortable. I was feeling dizzy and cold inside. In spite of this, I still went to work and continue doing my tasks, though I wasn’t performed it well because of the temperature inside the office. It makes me feel worse. When the clock strikes 6:00 in the afternoon (I arrived minutes before 9:00 in the morning), I immediately fix myself and go home. I didn’t send an email update to my mentor in Atlanta. Well, that’s okay because my activity here is track through a project monitoring tool and my team leader already knows about my status in the project. It usually took me two jeepney rides before it reaches me home. And within this ride, I feel asleep. Good thing I was able to stop at my destination. Saturday morning when I feel better, so I started cleaning my room and took care of my nephew MJ. I even go to mall and withdrew some cash, and do a little shopping for some groceries. Saturday night when I feel dizzy again and I ca

Jesus in my life

Before I accepted Christ Jesus in my life, I am living my life on my own. I study at school, do assignments and school projects, going to malls, concerts, videoke bars, etc. But I suffer more on worries and anxieties. Worrying in debts, projects, tasks or the future itself. Worst, I am a sinner and remained a slave of sin. I can’t say no to things I know not good and not pleasing to God. But now I have Jesus in my life sitting on the throne in my heart, I have life in harmony. Nothing to worry about anything, school, projects, debts, even now in my work as a programmer. Plus, I am living in abundance, though sometimes I am in trouble in terms with money but I only pray to God and He provides. See how Jesus himself changed my life. Of course He can do the change in your life. All you have to do is accept Him as your Saviour, let Him rule your life and that’s it. (taken from my old blog site)

Self-confidence

Noun: self-confidence `self'kón-fi-dun(t)s A freedom from doubt and having a belief in yourself and your abilities. Sounds like a very common word we have today and frequently applied in our everyday lives. It gives worth to you and pride for yourself. But how are you going to rate your confidence when you’re asked how confident you are in a certain thing? For example, in doing some things you usually love to do. For my case is drawing some gown designs on my own. It is not some kind of fashion design thingy but rather it is just merely a simple drawing. Some may be a copy of other’s design but I just tend to draw it for fun. I’ll just think of something that might make me look great if ever I am given a chance to wear it. But surely, how confident am I to show my works to others, especially to my closest friends? I know how to draw or I don’t know that I can draw, but I keep on telling myself that my drawings don’t deserve praise, not until our professor in Arts Appreciation sa

Missing her so much

This was once a woman I meet during my interview for working scholar application. At first glance, she seems to be so strict and doesn’t even know how to smile. But then again I kept my poise and answer her with my satisfying responses. After all, she’s going to be my mentor and my head supervisor in her office. At my first few weeks, I can tell she’s indeed strict especially on office rules and attendance. I felt I’m going to lose it (my scholarship) but I keep going on with it because this is the only way I knew where I can finish my college. Yes, I am a working assistant in her office. As time passed by, I begin to know her more and realized that the first impressions never last. She is caring and lovable – just like my mother. She is also a good counselor and a good friend. She is also pretty especially when she smiles. I also remember the time when we shared stories with each other every lunch time. Also, the pressures we shared during office hours and the relief we felt after e

My sister is out!

My sister is out again for a date. So here I am all alone in my room. But it's okay coz the room is all mine, hehehehe. I wonder where she is going. Hmm, at the restaurant? (typical) Or at the beach side? (how romantic!) or at the party club? (I personally don't like there) or maybe at the mall? (hmm, nothing else?) Where ever it is, I bet she'll going to enjoy it as much as I enjoy the room essence here.:)

Vacation to Cebu

It's been eight months already since I left Cebu to work here in Singapore. No doubt I really miss my hometown. But hey, just this day I finally bought tickets back to Cebu for a week-long vacation with my sister! The wait has finally over as I can now land again to my home.  I don't have much plans to do for this vacation as I only want to spend quality time with my family and friends. I really miss them so much. Though I admit I am financially unstable as of today (no savings yet in my hands but I promised to start now as I have set up my goals. I already have my plan layout and all I have to do is to put it in action. Starting next month is the start of the implementation stage.) I am still grateful because I used my money for something that is beneficial to me. This vacation will inspire me a lot more to be stronger and hold on to God, eventhough my loved ones are not by my side but God is with me. But before I proceed for the vacation galore that is scheduled next mo

Love is the fulfillment of the law

God commanded us to love one another. Romans 13:11b "The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed." Insights: It seems like God is calling me once again to wake up from being inactive. It must be because I amno longer reading the Bible these past few days. And He wants to start again coz He has prepared something for me - which I do not know yet. Prayer: God, please do help me to follow You. Help me to understand Your Word. Send me wisdom to get Your message, guidance while reading to free from any interference and protection for everyday. In Jesus' name, amen.

Kumukutikutitap

Welcome to 2011!!! I just want to share one of the best songs I’ve ever heard for the year 2010. This is the English version of the Filipino song ‘Kumukutikutitap’ by Ryan Cayabyab. This English version was translated by a member of North-East member of Hope Church Singapore Filipino Community. Hope you enjoy this song. Merry Christmas… A-twinkle and a-glimmer A-sparkle and a-shimmer That’s the way the lights are a-dancing They’re winking here and there And blinking everywhere Bright and sparkly colors / playing with your eyes A-twinkle and a-glimmer A-sparkle and a-shimmer That’s the way the stars are a-winking Pulsating to the beat Hiccupping to the beat Now crown it with a big parol Let’s hang ‘em on the big old Christmas tree Different festive decorations Pour in all of the colors Now pile it up with gifts Pulsating to the beat Hiccupping to the beat Be careful that the tree doesn’t topple Going round and round With shiny toys abound Crown with a big pa
