Mangyaring Nakapakinig Ulit Ako Ng Hillsong

I have been with my highschool friends, one of them asked: "Sino may music sa phone?" He turned to my phone and said, "May mga kanta yan?" 
Pia: "Yup."
Friend 2: "Naku! Puro Hillsong yan!"
Pia: "Hindi kayaa!" 
Then, confidently I added, "...Jesus Culture!" My best friend and I laughed. And I am happy. 
I remember what the Lord told me before going to bed last night. The cost of following Jesus Christ.

"I will follow You..." 
It's a commitment. Engagement. Attachment. Jesus' involvement over our life.
It's knowing that I must do something even if it's against my will, against my convenience.
It's gonna be wanting what I do not want to do; loving what I do not love & I haven't loved before.
Losing what I have been keeping...
But knowing that it's Jesus whom I'm gonna follow, it's gonna be experiencing amazing things and seeing miracles and doing great things!

And lastly, it's the end of "me"...

Should I say that phrase again, I know I'm declaring a lot of changes over my life. Praise God!

"I Can't Believe It's Over." A Break-Up Story

Image
It was on a Monday night shift that my co-worker and I was left cleaning the whole line (if you've been to the place where I work, the line I was talking about is the one on the inner side of the sneeze guard). We are about to brush the floor clean and to remove the dirt of the most busy place of the store we needed an extra-strong chemical to do the magic. And when I say extra-strong I mean skin-burning extra-strong type of chemical. That is, Diversey's Suma Break-Up. (I should get paid for this advertisement) (There, so you'd imagine my description better.) Cutting to the chase, Wayne (the pretty co-worker in the story) and I are moving chillers and all those stuff around and started cleaning. Until she said, "Ah.. By portion natin ipu- push brush ?" The #hugot lines started. "Yup. Kasi ang break-up dapat dinadahan-dahan, dahil kapag hindi, masakit, madali tayong mapapagod," I answered. And so it goes. The incident is not really the ma

Steve Jobs & Me

Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.   - Steve Jobs , CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, on June 12, 2005 FRIDAY IT'S JUST MY EMOTION feeling bad about everything. But I have the conviction that Someone loves me and suffered for me, and has taken every awful things one could experience just so I could have a choice not having them now. The conviction that makes me confident of everything that I have and getting those that I do not have... yet. THURSDAY I have all the intention and I fall short with my action. Unless I make Christ as my life's (and the desires, plans and ambitions that go with it) Chief Cornerstone. It has been a fulfillment having se

The Story of the Nativity and The Relativity

Image
It was two months before I graduate from high school when I have accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Savior.  College applications, entrance examinations, trendy clothes, hair colors, lovers and friends, and teenage angst were the things this college novice have in mind. Together with the incredulous plans I have in my life. As if those things seem to be easy putting into its rightful place. Things I have for my  self  in which probably what Jesus have seen when He came knocking at the door of my heart which I have humbly opened on the month of February, 2008.  image source:  http://celebritywonder.ugo.com/wp/Oscar_Isaac_in_The_Nativity_Story_Wallpaper_2_800.jpg    It could also be what Joseph have for his life when God knocked him off with a thought that his fiance was pregnant. He's got plans. To where the wedding will be held, who the guest will be; family, relatives, and a couple of friends maybe. To where they will raise their children. Or maybe just a
