Exploitation….I don’t like this word…
Some people are mean and exploit others.
Why?
Perhaps because they are bitter and they want to hurt others.
If you feel exploited and mistreated, utter a prayer for them.
“God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” James 4:6
Why are some people fond of wearing masks? Is it really hard to be real?
Just asking…
I googled this again…^-^

Several directions, several paths…eeny, meeny, miny, moe.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.” Proverbs 3:5-6
I never had a post using my mother tongue ever even in my other blogs….kini pa! ^-^
Bisan lawos na, ayad gihapon tan-awon…
“Kay bisan ang kahoyng higuera dili molambo, ni may mga bunga diha sa balagon; ang buhat sa olivo makawang, ug ang kaumahan dili mohatag sa makaon; ang mga carnero, pagalaglagon gikan sa mga toril, ug didto walay mga panon sa baka sulod sa mga kamalig. Bisan pa niana magahimaya ako diha kang Jehova, magamalipayon ako sa Dios sa akong kaluwasan.” Habakkuk 3:17-18
I always remember what my English teacher in high school said,”A quitter never wins, a winner never wins.” I don’t easily quit. I never dropped a subject in college because I knew I needed to pass the subject no matter how hard it was and how impossible to get even a 3.0, the passing grade in my school. Likewise, I don’t easily give up on people except when they are really mean and stubborn. So it’s better to shut up and pray for them.
“…that you should only keep working until you love what you’re doing. When you don’t enjoy it anymore, what’s the point in sticking around?” I read this from another website this morning. Yeah, what’s really the point of sticking around when you don’t love what you’re doing anymore? You need to stop and contemplate then drop and pray for guidance on your next step. On the other hand, you also need to WAIT and be PATIENT until you’re sure it’s time to call it quits.
“…Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9

I was eight when I was last confined in a hospital. Now I’m twenty-six. I don’t really like to stay long in hospitals -one of the many reasons I didn’t go to med school. I was having on and off fever for the last few weeks and I thought I could manage but I was wrong. I finally admitted that I needed to see a doctor. My temperature was 39.5.
One more thing, I don’t like to be inserted with an IV needle but what can do? I needed the dextrose. Good thing Siena was there. My temperature decreased to 38.5 and though I was drowsy, I couldn’t resist to take a few shots on my pitiful condition using my phone before I closed my eyes.The doctor and his assistant came in a few minutes after I woke up with the result of the tests. He told me that I had type A influenza though he couldn’t tell exactly if it was H1N1 or H5N1. More tests were needed which could last for five days and it could be too late by then so he must give me an antivirus right away.
I was pretty much awake when I heard him said “it could be too late” and asked him if the virus was deadly. He was hesitant to give me an answer which was weird but I didn’t ask him again. Well, I thought my condition wasn’t really a joke. Thank God many prayed.
I also thank God for my friends, colleagues and other Filipinos who came. It was really sweet. I also texted my parents and my aunt who was with my grandmother. They called and were so worried but there was one thing that connected us – PRAYER.
My recovery was really fast. My fever was gone on the second day but the doctor said I should stay for another night. Surprisingly, I didn’t feel suffocated. My room was very comfortable, clean and with wifi though only Siena was able to connect. I got updates from facebook and gmail using my phone only.And besides, the nurses were so friendly and kind, particularly the prettiest. She would stay a little longer to have a chat with me or with Siena. I also liked the food though I always had porridge during breakfast.
I went home past 3 p.m. on Wednesday, 5th of August and found my new room in Viriya clean and with a basket of flowers from the owner. I couldn’t thank her enough. Above all, I thank God for his healing and for using people to be HIS HANDS and FEET to care for me. Thanks a lot!
Marami pong salamat sa mga taong super bait na nag-alaga sa akin.

My dreams the past two nights had one thing in common – conquering my fear of HEIGHTS! However, I know it was more than that. I can’t elaborate. BLANK. SQUEEZED. I just copied what my friend wrote in twitter. We’re really the same. I think I’ll try another friend’s advice, sleep for 10 hours! Bueno o malo? Let’s see but one thing I’m sure – KNEELING before HIM.
“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” Psalm 119:105
When: July 24, 2009
Where: Era Nolasco’s place
Topic: Sarah through Mae Arguelles
Her name means “princess” or “chieftainness”. She remained childless for most of her life. She gave birth to Isaac at ninety. Through Isaac God’s promise to her and Abraham was fulfilled. However, there was a point that she took matters to her own hands. This resulted to the bloody Arab-Israeli conflict.
Lesson: We need to wait for the Lord to fulfill his promises in our lives.
Reality: Waiting patiently for God is easier said than done, isn’t it? However, we still need to trust him and WAIT.
“Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.”
Psalm 27:14
When friends were busy at a wedding, I took a steep path down the shore and saw…
“But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only few find it.” Matthew 7:14
