Grace is the ability to see Christ in this chaotic world.
Grace is being able to come to God as you are.

Grace is allowing the Holy Spirit to embrace you and let you know that every moment with God is a moment of grace.

revisited

2011-12-11T15:45:00.000+03:00

I realized it the day I was to leave you.
I only met you for nine days and I knew I have fallen in love.
Were you courting me for that nine beautiful, glorious and amazing days? Maybe. You were subtle. But you got me.
But I couldn’t stay. I had to leave no matter how much it was breaking my heart. There are just other things that I had to attend first. I prayed, that the romance will not waver. That memories will not pass and be gone with the days while we are apart. That is all I have, that is all I was holding on. Memories. Beautiful and meaningful. I prayed so hard, our paths shall cross again.
Fate did not fail me. My prayers were answered. It was not an easy decision but I knew, the universe conspired for us to meet again.
The second time, I fall, once more. To your charm. To your warmth.
This time, the longing to know you more is stronger.
I must admit there was a time I questioned if this was a fascination. You were too beautiful too resist the first time.
But I realized. I want to know you more. I am looking forward in discovering what is beautiful and what is not. And in the deepest core of my heart, I knew, even the ‘ugly’ will have its own magnificence in it.
That is your gift to me. To believe that the unpleasant is worth embracing when you accept, believe and love.

Questions by Mr. Manalac

2011-11-02T15:16:00.002+03:00

It’s a lonely road out there we’re all just waiting

For these answers that may never come our way

So we hold on to each other

Hoping to find what’s missing

A million more questions by the end of the day

We’ve been getting all this inside information

Are you as confused as me it’s all just driving you insane

Throw some money at the problem

Lose your inhibitions go talk to someone

A million more questions by the end of the day

It’s who we are

We try to get away – hide- pray for shade

What will we find

A return to sacred ground or the memory of one

Strange

Is it a new day?

Bored? Sounds.. all too familiar

A Good excuse for change in pace

Go forth be a happy clone

questions by the end of the day

It’s who we are

Running in circles

In this once in a lifetime

I got this

One last chance

To ditch this borderline life

My place in this world

This Last day I draw breath

I’m about to collide

With myself

It’ll all get better all you need is time

Drag yourself out of bed

Waiting for that change in season

Praying for a line

Living in a rainbow

Or drowning in the gray

You’ve filled in all the blanks

It ain’t all that bad

Questions by the end of the day

Bamboo bounces back in high style with an orchestra

October 23, 2011 |

Bamboo Mañalac has walked away twice from bands he had fronted—Rivermaya in the 1990s and Bamboo only nine months ago. Recently he emerged as a solo artist at the “Tanduay Rhum Rockfest: Year V,” held at the SM Mall of Asia open grounds.

Contemplative

The crowd of thousands broke into ecstatic shrieks when Bamboo’s name flashed on the video screens. The din escalated as the singer, known for his intensity as a performer, appeared onstage.

Backed by a four-man band and a string ensemble—two cellists and 10 violinists—Bamboo reined in his fire and did a contemplative rendition of The Beatles’ “Across the Universe.” Weeping violins drenched the song in sentimentality.

He picked up the pace with U2’s “Sunday Bloody Sunday,” followed by Buklod’s “Tatsulok.” The strings certainly added a new texture to Bamboo’s sound. But this intriguing element was drowned out when the repertoire rocked forth.

Bamboo slowed down again, staying faithful to the sobriety of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah.” The string ensemble resumed the magic, playing a passage that let Bamboo segue seamlessly into his own “Hallelujah.” The mad crescendo of guitars and drums leading to the chorus drove the fans wild.

At that point, people wondered aloud if he would perform new material. Bamboo, apparently reading their minds, capped his set with “Questions,” a rock ballad. The song, said to be the first single from his coming album, “No Water, No Moon,” featured a lengthy, piano-driven instrumental ending.

The crowd wanted more. To say the fans missed Bamboo would be a gross understatement.

You, my friend, are a victim of disorganized thinking. You are under the unfortunate impression that just because you run away you have no courage; you're confusing courage with wisdom

A place where there isn't any trouble. Do you suppose there is such a place, Toto? There must be. It's not a place you can get to by a boat or a train. It's far, far away. Behind the moon, beyond the rain...

A heart is not judged by how much you love; but by how much you are loved by others.

As for you, my galvanized friend, you want a heart. You don't know how lucky you are not to have one. Hearts will never be practical until they can be made unbreakable.

Dorothy: [singing] If the Wizard is a wizard who will serve.
Scarecrow: [singing] Then I'm sure to get a brain...
Tin Woodsman: [singing] A heart...
Dorothy: [singing] A home...
Cowardly Lion: [singing] The nerve!

if I ever go looking for my heart's desire again, won't look any further than my own back yard.Because if it isn't there,I never really lost it to begin with! - Dorothy

will i ever see the two of them onstage performing together

I now declare my allegiance to you, O Lord
My life and my will at your service my God
Where you go I will go and You’ll lead the way
My God, I will live and die for You

Show me where to live O Lord and I’ll live.
Show me where to die O Lord and I’ll die.
Show me what to do and I’ll do it by Your side;
My God, I will live and die for You.

At the sound of Your voice Master, I will obey.
I will watch every motion You make with open eyes
May my ears be clear to hear Your command;
My God, I will live and die for You.

Should it be the last breath I take O Lord?
I will use to sing a song of praises to you
Should it be my last drop of blood? I will shed it for You.
My God, I will live and die for You.

I now declare my allegiance to you, O Lord
My life and my will at your service my God
Where you go I will go and You’ll lead the way
My God, I will live and die for You

When he’s a lion with everyone but a teddy bear with you … that’s love.

being constantly surprised by the longing for him that never quits … that’s love.

If nothing lasts forever…I want to be your nothing

when he becomes your best friend too … that’s love.

that second hug before you part ways? … that’s love.

‘Nice’ boyfriends hold out their umbrella so their girlfriend doesn’t get wet. My boyfriend pulls me into the rain and dances with me … that’s love.

when he starts planning his future with you … that’s love.

when you love watching them sleep … that’s love.

You see an orange amazing sky and you run to your phone and tell him about it. Wanting him to see it… So that, somehow no matter how apart, you two are looking at something at the same time… Almost like being side by side … that’s love.

Love comes to those who believe it … that’s love.

When he told me “your heart is racing”, it only made it beat faster … that’s love.

when you hold on so tightly to him despite how stupid everyone thinks you are … that’s love.

when he holds you as you cry, pushes the hair out of your face. kisses your forehead and says. ‘it’s okay, it’ll be okay. i love you.’ and holds you … THAT’S LOVE.

When everything he does for you turns into a need instead of a want … that’s love.

When you accepted me at my worst though it may have broken us apart … that’s love.

When all the flaws you thought they had at the beginning aren’t flaws anymore. When they become something you would never change because it makes the person who they are … that’s love.

when he sends you a random text saying i love you … that’s love.

When everytime you see his name pop up you smile and get a funny feeling inside … that’s love.

I see in his eyes my future. I think it’s must be love … that’s love.

When my day all screwed up, and then I came to you and you made me feel that I’m not alone because you will always be there for me … that’s love.

You have more faith in me than I’ve ever had in myself … that’s love.

ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT. Ano naman kaya ang masasabi ni Bautista tungkol sa controversial host ng Willing Willie na si Willie Revillame?

"Ako, my comment is as a TV host, he can do much better," mabilis na sagot ni Bautista.
"I always believe that people have room for improvement if they want to learn.
"I'm an optimist. If he wants to do this show for a long time, then bring it up! Level up!
"I want to give every person the benefit of the doubt. We shouldn't be judging one another.

quotes i copied from here & there, sorry if yun iba wala yun source

Do not get tired of doing what is good.
Don't get discouraged and give up,
For we will reap a harvest of blessing at the appropriate time.
- Galatians 6:9

It wouldn't be trial by publicity if the senators/congressmen know their role in investigations and resisted the urge to grandstand. - Ted Te

“Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being “in love” which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossoms had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two.” — St. Augustine. (Submitted by Palabrass)

Be very cautious of judging others. The person who might turn out to be unworthy is you. - Alvin Barcelona

"We have a paradox right now of more access to information than ever before & yet more misinformed people than ever before"

Give way to God's way

"I'm Sorry" is a statement. "I won't do it again" is a promise. "How do I make it up to you" is a responsibility.

the most memorable people in your life will be the people who loved you when you weren't very lovable

There's no such thing as 'I'm ready.' Only 'I'm willing.' ☺

Its not enough that you accept me for who i am. You should also accept me for what im not.

A true man does not promise, he commits. A true lady does not demand, she thanks

To give what you already have is sharing
To toil so that you can give is service
Find joy in serving!

The Man, the Woman who risks nothing does nothing -- has nothing -- is nothing.

“Happiness isn’t what happens when you whistle along, pretending bad things don’t exist… Happiness is earned, like everything else. It’s achieved.”
— Marisa de los Santos

Cory was one of the most moral persons on earth; she was also one of the most political persons on earth. She was one of the most prayerful persons on earth; she was also one of the most crusading persons on earth. She believed ardently in the afterlife; she also believed arduously in this life. The fact that the works of man crumble to dust did not give her an excuse not to do great things. The fact that all glory is fleeting did not give her the excuse not to pursue excellence. The fact that life is brief did not give her an excuse not to live it well.

The notion that we’re just waiting at the pier or train station, diverting ourselves as best we can while waiting for the thing that would take us home—I don’t know that that isn’t the greatest vanity of all.

I cannot count the times I have cursed our lack of urgency. If I ever love again, I will not wait to love as best as I can. We thought we were young and that there would be time to love well sometime in the future. This is a terrible way to think. It is no way to live, to wait to love. — Dave Eggers, What is the What

"But these things I plan won't happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, do not despair, for these things will surely come to pass. Just be patient! They will not be overdue a single day!"
(Habakkuk 2:3 LB).

“If you try anything, if you try to lose weight, or to improve yourself, or to love, or to make the world a better place, you have already achieved something wonderful, before you even begin. Forget failure. If things don’t work out the way you want, hold your head up high and be proud. And try again. And again. And again!”
— Sarah Dessen (Keeping the Moon)

“Judge less – or at least later. Give new ideas and images a chance. Understand that everyone has his own truth or her own. Remember: you are not married to any belief, opinion, or ideology. Expect to discover something delicious every day.”
— Victoria Moran

“To the people who love you, you are beautiful already. This is not because they’re blind to your shortcomings but because they so clearly see your soul. Your shortcomings then dim by comparison. The people who care about you are willing to let you be imperfect and beautiful, too.”
— Victoria Moran

4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. - Philippians 4:4-7

In an age of growing gender equality, I’d like to think the advice is useful for everyone: male or female, straight or gay, young or old. We should know ourselves, and what we need to sustain us long after the madness is over. Later in life, we should be able to smile, realizing how indeed our choices of partners can be so accidental (“Ay, if we didn’t meet at the carnival I would have married someone else...”) and yet so touched by a sense of fate and destiny. Isn’t it wonderful being able to feel endless love without needing to stare into each other’s eyes? •

"The Definition of insanity 'Doing the same thing over&over and expecting a different result"

paulocoelho: Everyday experiences are more enlightening than philosophical discussions

Hate doesn't work like love.
You have to remind yourself to love.

If you can pretend as hard as I'm pretending, this can be the first time we've ever met. Not the last.
You keep telling me to be glad for what we had while we had it. That the brightest flame burns quickest.
Which means you saw us as a candle. And I saw us as the sun.

Hate doesn't work like love.
You have to remind yourself to love.

2011-05-25T16:28:00.000+03:00

The great thing a little lamp can do, which the big sun cannot do, is to give light at night.
It means that no one is superior by size…but by purpose.
If it seems we can’t do great things, we can do small things in a great way.
Little things make big differences.

Panalangin Sa Pagiging Bukas Palad

2011-05-24T15:33:00.000+03:00

Panginoon, turuan Mo akong maging bukas-palad
Turuan Mo akong maglingkod sa Iyo
Na magbigay nang ayon sa nararapat
Na walang hinihintay mula sa 'Yo

Na makibakang 'di inaalintana mga hirap na dinaranas
Sa tuwina'y magsumikap na hindi humahanap ng kapalit na kaginhawaan
Na 'di naghihintay kundi ang aking mabatid
Na ang loob Mo'y siyang sinusundan

Panginoon, turuan Mo akong maging bukas-palad
Turuan Mo akong maglingkod sa Iyo
Na magbigay nang ayon sa nararapat
Na walang hinihintay mula sa 'Yo

Life is like Coffee Movie: "Do you know people that just seem to be happier in general? Do you say to yourself, "I want to be more like them"? Often, the happiest people in the world don’t have the best of everything...they just make the best of everything!"

Mikee Cojuango on RH Bill

2011-05-19T15:54:00.001+03:00

Ano kasi ako, yung tipo ng tao na segurista," sabi niya.

"Kung titingnan natin yung RH Bill mismo, marami kasi siyang topic na tina-tackle and hindi lang isa.

"Parang sa akin, 'Ito, okay sa akin, pero itong isa, hindi okay sa akin. Ito okay din sa akin 'to, pati ito, pero itong isa, hindi.'

"So, paano 'yon? Susuporta ba ako sa isang bagay dahil yung mga iba type ko, pero yung iba hindi?

"E, paano ang implementation nun? Paano ipapatupad yung mga bagay na nakalagay dun sa batas, lalo na kung merong iba dun na hindi malinaw?

"Di ba, isa sa mga problema ng Pilipinas ngayon, maraming mga batas na hindi natin alam kung paano gagawin...

"Yung ibang mga batas, yung ibang mga services, nai-implement ba nng tama?

"Di ba, meron tayong program na lahat ng mga taong may TB, puwedeng pumunta sa Barangay Health Center nila, tapos bibigyan sila nga gamot for free?

"Yun ba nagagawa ba yun? Hindi rin nagagawa yun.

"Ilang beses yung gamot na 'yon, ibinebenta rin nila.

"Baka naman gawing business din 'to pagdating ng araw.

"Dapat siguro tingnan natin yung capability natin to implement.

"Hindi ko naman sinasabi na dapat acceptable sa lahat.

"Di ba, minsan yung gamot, pangit ang lasa and ayaw nating inumin? Pero alam natin kailangan para gumaling.

"May mga ganung factor din naman siguro about the RH Bill.

"But para sa akin, the intention maybe is good, but the way that we need to implement it—magagawa ba natin o hindi?"

8th YFC UAE National Conference

2011-05-08T13:01:00.003+03:00

“To live in a manner worthy of the Lord, so as to be fully pleasing, in every good work bearing fruit and growing in the knowledge of God”… 1 Col. 1:10

YFC Chronicles...The Journey Continues

07 May 211
St. Mary's Church, Dubai

Congratulations fellow Armies of God.. the enemy has once again been defeated!!

Lets always be reminded of that day.. we, have the Power over the enemy, as sons and daughters of God. We can always win even in our personal battles ahead!

continue to Put on the Full Armor of God.

God bless us always!

- kAce

My dearest beloved Dubai Area,

All I can say is that I am so honored to serve beside you guys in this conference. Though there were ups and downs in the preparations, we have come away from it with stronger relationships between one another. I thank the Lord that He has blessed this area with such an amazing team, all bonded together not only because of service, but because of the love between each other.

All throughout the conference, the only song playing in my head was ‘Embrace’ from the Liveloud album (‘Almighty King I praise Your name, Greatest God You are my Healer. I will never be the same again’)

I just felt affirmed that the new generation of YFCs have leaders who are convicted with continuing the mission and I am excited with what you new generation leaders will bring to the ministry.

“Therefore they said to Him, what should we do, so that we may labor in the works of God?” Jesus responded and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him who He sent.” John 6:28-29 (Today’s Gospel)

If this much has been accomplished in the first half of 2011, I can’t wait to see what the Lord will reveal to us in the second half! Let’s gear up our armor and prepare, for I claim that this year is truly victorious for us, and at the end, all that we can do is but stand and be amazed at the awesome power and might of our God.

Much much much much love to you all! <3

Peace,

Ate Apple

Pacquiao vs Mosley

2011-05-08T12:55:00.001+03:00

Manny Pacquiao dominated from the first bell to the last to score a unanimous points decision over Shane Mosley and retain his WBO welterweight title.

"You can't blame age,"

"Manny is an exceptional fighter. He truly is the pound-for-pound king. He has speed and power that I have never felt before.

"He surprised me with that power with the knockdown. That's the most legitimate knockdown on me in a long time."

Young lovers seek perfection.
Old lovers learn the art of sewing shreds together and of seeing beauty in a multiplicity of patches.

I'll tell you what makes me happy about marrying Sam.
I know our marriage has as good of a chance
of being wonderful as it does missing the mark.
However, I'm banking on our love for each other
to weigh a bit heavier on the wonderful side.
As Anna says about making a quilt,
you have to choose your combination carefully.
The right choices will enhance your quilt.
The wrong choices will dull the colors, hide their original beauty.
There are no rules you can follow.
You have to go by your instinct.
And you have to be brave.

i love Blackberry but i really knew there is a downside of communication being too mobile,
too much mobility can get real, true blue, hardcore communication be taken for granted too :(

gone are the days when it takes so much time and effort to look for a nice, beautiful paper and pen to write our stories

or to spend hours in front of typewriter making sure no wrong letters are typed on the paper

and ironic for me to say that i, for now, would i guess prefer, chatting in front of a PC, totally with one window open, and not having any other windows or browsers or BB or twitter updates to attend too

- but yeah technology - i still do have to thank you! :) ang importante nanjan ka eh noh?

One must know when to practice healthy tolerance for realities, when to raise appropriate objections, and when to move ahead. If in the struggle for change, one’s parts that make one stronger begin to wither away, then take cover and be restored. For it is not easy to have to be strong all the time. No one is effortlessly strong. One takes excruciating pains to stay on one’s feet in battle, and receiving life’s blows can wear one out. One must learn to rest.

You came from heaven to take my place on this earth
And died for me to show what I’m really worth
You took it all and paid the price to set me free
My God You did it all for me

So if I fail to bring you praise
For love you sent to take my place
I’ve realized that I can never give enough
So with a cry from this heart of mine
I lay it all, I lay this life
And I pray Lord that it’s your will not mine…

Cause everything that you are to me
Is everything I hope for
Your grace keeps me still to face the storms
Lord please have your way
Lord have your way in me

This heart belongs to you…Jesus

“A simple life is not seeing how little we can get by with but how efficiently we can put first things first. When you’re clear about your purpose and your priorities, you can painlessly discard whatever does not support these, whether it’s clutter in your cabinets or commitments on your calendar.”

Rosary

2011-03-16T09:23:00.001+03:00

The word Rosary means "Crown of Roses". Our Lady has revealed to several people that each time they say a Hail Mary they are giving her a beautiful rose and that each complete Rosary makes her a crown of roses. The rose is the queen of flowers, and so the Rosary is the rose of all devotions and it is therefore the most important one. The Holy Rosary is considered a perfect prayer because within it lies the awesome story of our salvation. With the Rosary in fact we meditate the mysteries of joy, of sorrow and the glory of Jesus and Mary. It's a simple prayer, humble so much like Mary. It's a prayer we can all say together with Her, the Mother of God. With the Hail Mary we invite Her to pray for us. Our Lady always grants our request. She joins Her prayer to ours. Therefore it becomes ever more useful, because what Mary asks She always receives, Jesus can never say no to whatever His Mother asks for. In every apparition, the heavenly Mother has invited us to say the Rosary as a powerful weapon against evil, to bring us to true peace. With your prayer made together with Your heavenly Mother, you can obtain the great gift of bringing about a change of hearts and conversion. Each day, through prayer you can drive away from yourselves and from your homeland many dangers and many evils.

It can seem a repetitive prayer but instead it is like two sweethearts who many times say one another the words: "I love you"...

The whole Rosary is composed of twenty decades. Each decade is recited in honor of a mystery in Our Lord's Life and that of his Blessed Mother.It is customary to recite five decades at a time while meditating on one set of mysteries.

The decades may be separated, if the entire chaplet is completed on the same day.Each Mystery may be meditate "bead by bead" for every Hail Mary of the decade.

Huwag Kang Mangako Ng Kailanpaman- Gary Granada.flv

Huwag mong sabihin 'gaano katagal'
tama na'ng 'gaano mo ko kamahal'

kapag sinabi ko sa iyo

2011-03-10T11:46:00.000+03:00

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAWVrLlXEG8&feature=related

Kapag sinabi ko sa iyo na ika'y minamahal
Sana'y maunawaan mo na ako'y isang mortal
At di ko kayang abutin ang mga bituin at buwan
O di kaya ay sisirin perlas ng karagatan

Kapag sinabi ko sa iyo na ika'y iniibig
Sana'y maunawaan mo na ako'y taga-daigdig
Kagaya ng karamihan, karaniwang karanasan
Daladala kahit saan, pang-araw-araw na pasan

Ako'y hindi romantiko, sa iyo'y di ko matitiyak
Na pag ako'y kapiling mo kailanma'y di ka iiyak
Ang magandang hinaharap sikapin nating maabot
Ngunit kung di pa maganap, sana'y huwag mong ikalungkot

Kapag sinabi ko sa iyo na ika'y sinisinta
Sana'y yakapin mo akong bukas ang iyong mga mata
Ang kayamanan kong dala ay pandama't kamalayan
Na natutunan sa iba na nabighani sa bayan

Halina't ating pandayin isang malayang daigdig
Upang doon payabungin isang malayang pag-ibig
Kapag sinabi ko sa iyo na ika'y sinusuyo
Sana'y ibigin mo ako, kasama ang aking mundo

Martha or Mary

2011-03-10T11:34:00.001+03:00

Martha and Mary

Are you a “Martha”, or a “Mary”, or both?

A “Martha” is one who does errands for the Lord. A “Mary” is one who drops everything to listen to the Lord.

Whoever you are – whoever you think you are, just make sure that everything begins, happens and ends through Him, with Him, and in Him.

A moment with the Lord

Lord, whoever we are, whatever we do, we are all just instruments of Your love. Amen.

Fr. Jerry M. Orbos, SVD
