Jesus, You Are Amazing

Today, I did something out of a whim again. I don't know but I did pray for it. I am having such a nice day and I kept telling myself not to do something reckless just because you are feeling good or happy. I had a conviction this morning to call a friend who I feel is drifting far away from me. I was torn between leaving him be and giving him space but that stubborn part of me tells me that I need to reach out somehow.

He's really one of those people I treasure a lot and although I felt the walls getting higher between us due to some reasons, I can't imagine just letting the friendship become colder. Well, I might have done something, and it's not time to discuss that but sometimes I just remember how close we were and how I used to tell him everyday what has been in store for me. And I've been really inspired by him, too. I thank God for that.

Anyways, God works amazingly. I praise him today not because I think I did something out of line again but because he shows me things that are puzzling, mysterious, inspiring and he comforts me all the time! I can't believe how things work together for good everytime.

Ah, hopefully, I'm not interrupting something good in my friend's life but I know, God has a plan and its a perfect plan. I hope things work out for him and he gets back to his normal self. I also sent him this video to remind him that God is awesome. Whoever reads this, may you be inspired.

Happy Day

I decided to make a different approach in this blog and bring my weirdness in here. Thank God for the past few days, I've been feeling a lot better and with my friends and loved ones, the storm may finally come to an end (I love you, Jesus).

To start with, I am a fan of j-pop. Yes, j-pop. Those cute-sy girls singing in cute-sy voices. I've been digging through old songs of Morning Musume and I found this. Hopefully, you readers will enjoy it as much as I do:



I was listening to this and I feel like....

God's Will

I let 5 months pass before updating this blog again. But the circumstances lately just remind me to write something new before this becomes completely forgotten.

I've been reminded of my previous blog and domain. There's this one post there that makes me ask myself, "how is my heart lately?" To be honest, I have been feeling sad for almost half a year already but God has been really, really good to me and He gives me reason to be happy everytime. I've been praying and asking God for His will for these past months and for some reason I can not see them clearly and didn't really understand what He was trying to tell me. Thanks to my friends in church and in other places that they support me to help me understand some things and offer words of wisdom and comfort. And then, for the past few days, I got sick and everything seemed to become clear to me. God has answered me. (I got some time to meditate ;))

I remember RJ's blog post (he's a friend from church who's now working in Singapore) about his prayer that also took some time for him to see what God has been telling him. It made me realize one thing today. God makes ways for us to understand Him and to know Him more. Now, I feel what RJ must have felt that day. and I thank God for setting me free and loving me always. And I hope He will continue to hold my hand as I walk the path of becoming more like Him everyday.

I am Back to Writing

So I decided to update and write another entry. I am back to writing. Yay!

Lately, I accepted an article writing job from a friend. I'll be paid for every article I write. Not really that high paying job but it will help. Only problem I have is, I'm busy these past few days/weeks due to the coming activity in church. I have been there almost every night for practice. I'll be joining the dancing ministry for a dance this Friday, Youthnight with a theme: Expelled. There's one more good thing about that. I'll be getting a free t-shirt with the theme print on it. :D God is so awesome as always.

Aside from article writing, all I've ever done lately is write test cases. Not a very fun task. But it's better than reading articles about QA or watching Drupal videos. This way I learn and I use my brain and my hands.

As for updates, I'm going back to Manila in two weeks for another Drupal meet-up. My client from Chicago will be coming over to visit us. He will be giving some lectures in the meet-up, too. More good things about this event: I will be able to have bonding with teammates from Luzon and I'll be able to meet my sisters again. :D Speaking of the meeting with my sisters, my youngest sister wants to have my Dell laptop since she wants to use it for work. She recently found a new job and she's still trying to adjust. I'm happy for her. Hope she'll grow more where she's planted this time.

Now for the downside of my trip. My return flight is scheduled at around 6pm, which means I can't make it to church on time for the Sunday night service. :( However, I still hope that I will still be able to have fellowship with my sisters and brothers when I arrive. :D

New Post, New Start, New Year

It's been so long!!! I haven't posted for more than a year and it's quite sad that I left this blog un-maintained. Anyway, new year, a new start over. I am really grateful I got this far and for the past years, I've learned a lot of things, get to know people, get to know myself and been closer to God. Yes, I'm back to my first love. :D

Last year, I have met some wonderful people from the anime forum I joined and it was like a turning point. I've learned a lot from them and have been happier since, in expense of late nights chat and browsing. One of the best things though, is I was able to share a part of me with them and my faith, too. And for the most part, I've started dreaming again. xD

Its funny but God has different ways of making people realize how much He loves them and I know that he has a very big mission for me out there and a purpose as to why I met these people I know now. I am really looking forward to more changes, adventure and growth. I love, Jesus. Seriously. :D
