Out of Line

Mga walang kuwenta frends kau, alam ko masaya kayo sa nangyayari kay dona, gusto ninyo mapasama siya. kaya hinayaan mo siya hwana ang bf niya. Sayang ang friendship ninyo since first yr.

This was the text message I received from (Im assuming) Donna's mom a few minutes ago. I felt so angry and insulted that i needed to vent it out on something. I cant believe someone who doesn't even know anything about our friendship would text me something like this. It's irrational and so judgemental. What else do they want? They've already got her. They've let her stop school and hid her to God knows where. We have no contact of whatsoever and out of the blue they'd text us something like this! I cant believe how crazy and psychotic people can be. I've always understood her family. I know that they only did this because they love her and they just want to protect their daughter or sister. But this text message is really out of line.

LITERA1

This is one of the best lessons I've learned in my literature class...

"One can imprison the body but never the soul"

A Funny Text Message

This text message from Carol made my day...

A new pastor moved into town and went out to visit his community. He came into a closed house but it was obvious that someone was home. He knocked several times but no one answered. He took a card and wrote "Revelation 3:20" in the back. The next day he found the card on the offering plate, written below his message was "Genesis 3:10". He opened the Bible to read the passage and he let out a roar of laughter.

Have a laugh! Read the Bible to find out.

Rainy Days and Wednesdays

The sound of the rain, the smell of my brother's cooking, the touch of the cool breeze on my skin, the sight of plants rejoicing as they quench their thirst...

These are the days worth blogging about. Days where classes are suspended and we've been blessed with more to finish our pending tasks and even get a few moments of rest and relaxation. It's been a long time since I fully appreciated using my senses. I feel so alive because these are the daily miracles from God that we too often ignore.

I love days like these. *happy*

Quotes

Here are some of the quotes I've received for the past few days:
I have no idea why I'm posting this. I just seem to feel like doing so. Whatever. It's my blog anyway. I'll post whatever I feel like posting. =P

Have you realized that when people say you've changed, it's just because you've stopped living you life... THEIR way?

If you're loosing someone, never be afraid because if that person does love you a lot, that person would take the risk just to have you...

Sometimes we really don't have to be super nice. Sometimes we have to appear having antagonistic aura so that we can sort out who can accept you at your worst mood and still stay.

A sense of purpose is the best driving force to live. When you have a reason to live, you will never have a reason to quit.

Church

This is just to vent out feelings of whatsoever and has no intention to address anybody. I just need to get this out.

I feel so restless for not attending church today. Feels like a part of my soul has been torn apart. It's just that i really need to go this morning because I've been so busy for the whole week that I hardly read my devotions and pray. For the longest time, I haven't really got up from this hell hole of work I'm in to spend time with friends and God. Sure, i spend time with friends in school but that's different. What I meant was go out on a gimmik. Loosen up and forget the stress for a while. Not that nobody's inviting... it's just that I'm too scared to ask permission. These days its not so easy to ask permission regardless of the circumstance. Dont ask why... Anyway, I just really need this morning to talk to God before all the day's work start to pile up. I expect today to be a very hectic one. Not just with thesis but also with works from other subjects. I just need a short time in God's presence. I want to tell Him my burdens, my joy and my struggles throughout the week. That's all. Nothing more. Nothing less. God knows my intentions and I know that they are pure because He told me so. I couldn't sleep again this morning when I found out that I couldn't go to church so I closed my eyes and I sang, I prayed and I worshiped the Lord this morning. I realized that the church is not a building. I always seem to forget that concept even though I've heard it for like a million times. Anyway, I vented everything out to God this morning until I fell asleep. And although I was not able to sleep well, I felt a bit better and a bit at peace with the world. Ive been really stressed out for the past week that I have been cranky and mataray to a lot of people. Even my groupmates.

The day has started long ago and work is starting to pile up but Im ready because I know God is by my side.

A moment of bliss

In the midst of thesis and other deadlines, i suddenly had a rush of happiness. I dont know. Maybe it's the effects of sleeplessness or stress but time seemed to stand still and for a moment, I felt pure bliss.
