FEEDBACK FEEDBACK OH!

"Si Elay suplado", "Si Elay masungit", "Si Elay malakas mambara", "nakakatakot xa kausapin".. These are just the four most common feedback that I've been receiving for the past weeks. I know that there's no reason for me to explain myself about this matter but I think it's getting a little out of hand.

Actually that is the probable reason why I left the ushering ministry(BELIEVE IT OR NOT I WAS ONCE PART OF THAT [can you imagine me smiling at people, shaking their hands politely?]).. I don't know, I guess it isn't my nature to smile at strangers. With the way I stare.. well, God gave me this eyes and I don't know why the heck I look at people like this. You see, people often judge me based on their first impressions. Go ahead and ask my friends, I believe that what they'll say about me will surely contradict the impressions that these people are throwing at me.

To be honest I am not friendly. I don't really care if people don't like me and stuff, I mean the thing is do I like them? But, on the plus side once a person becomes my friend I will value him or her with all my heart. Just so you know, it is totally difficult for me to lose a friend, it's as if a portion or an organ in my body had stopped functioning (that is how precious friends are to me).

One night I texted this guy in our church then, blah blah blah the conversation began. I remember him told me: "ikaw masungit ka raw ah" then I replied "says who", he said: "marami sila eh" ... .. ... after several justifications.. I told him: "I am building a wall not to keep people away but to see who's willing to break it and stay". The funny thing is I used to ignore this guy a lot but now we're always laughing together.

I can name hundreds of people who at first thought I am rude and now they're the ones who totally enjoy my company. Yes I'm frank but not rude.



Bottom line..




Before you judge me, spend time with me first. In knowing me you don't need your eyes what you need is your heart. My heart still has a room for lots of friends, who knows you might be one of them.

DIFFICULTY IN UNDERSTANDING THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE -this must be the problem

Pedestrian Crossing, No Jaywalking, No parking, and my favorite: No Vandalism. As a college student, these are the signs I encounter almost everyday, every time I travel. Rules like these may not be as serious as "keep away blah blah volts" but these simple ones help in maintaining peace and order in our society.

During my enrollment, I had the chance to explore the premises of my University together with Amabelle. Our college has its building few blocks from the main building, and because most of our academic affairs take place in our college, we rarely have the chance to roam around the main campus.

I checked out the comfort room right next to the university canteen and boy! it's quite as fancy as SM's haha, though there's this itsy bitsy problem: There were scribbles on its walls.

I believe that the administration didn't lack in any reminder especially the part of prohibiting vandalism. I MEAN DUH, JUST CHECK THE PIC --->

I was disappointed because seeing a scribble like that on a developing comfort room is a sign that one of the students lack in self discipline. I know that the vandal isn't a big deal but the principle of disobedience behind that incident is. I mean, violating a simple rule? (Again I'm not saying that all the activists are like the person who did this). Did the suspect simply ignore the sign just to express his angst towards the government? Wasn't he able to understand plain English? or was he just simply being "pasaway"? If we can't submit to rules as simple as those, how are we going to obey the bigger ones? those that contain larger consequences.

I know that what he wrote really does make sense but the way he expressed it bothers me. How uncivilized! I bet that the University wouldn't reach it's full potential of being developed with students like these.

Right Heart; WRONG PRINCIPLES.

WARNING: This entry might be difficult for unbelievers to understand

I can still remember my first time when I was exposed in this truth, I was shocked of how the bible can relate activists and Antichrists. Activists are those who desire to serve the nation, to fight for complete democracy, to claim fair judgment, fair treatment, and a whole lot more. Antichrists on other hand, are those who completely violate the laws of the bible, and those who practice actions that contradict biblical ethics.

My motive in writing this, is not to convince an activist to let go of his organization. The decision is up to you. My objective is to at least open the eyes of Christians who are involved in forms activism. If you are to browse my previous entries, you will notice other entries pertaining this matter. Hmm.. I guess this is my burden for I used to be an activist as well. By God's mercy, he revealed to me the wrong principles which then, I thought was right.

If we are to look in a rebel's heart, we can see a desire burning in that individual to serve the nation. But what makes an activist an Antichrist?

Let every soul be subject to the GOVERNING AUTHORITIES, For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves. -Romans 13:1-2

There are lots and lots of scriptures in the bible, that talk about complete submission. You might say, The president is not a good president, the leader is corrupt, etc etc. Well, it says in the scripture that AUTHORITIES THAT EXIST ARE APPOINTED BY GOD. It doesn't say that the good leaders are the only ones appointed by God, but ALL -even the corrupt ones.

Activism makes us resist the authorities, resisting makes us violate the laws of the bible thus, we become Antichrists. John Bevere said: "What caused Lucifer to fall? Rebellion. What caused Adam to fall? Rebellion.

The only time we disobey authorities is when they are giving us commands that contradict the bible itself.

Activists aren't bad people. In fact, they have the heart to serve the nation. We cannot deny that there is a wrong flow in our society, the irregularities that can be found are those that produce activists. But, if you're a Christian, the choice is still yours whether you obey the law of God, or you stick to the ethics of the society. Whether you like it or not, you have to a stand!

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Romans 12:2

Times of Testing

UNTIL THE TIME CAME TO FULFILL HIS WORD, THE LORD TESTED JOSEPH'S
CHARACTER. (PSALM 105:19 NLT)

It's hard to watch God blessing other people while you're struggling to get by. But before you throw a strop and say 'it's so unfair!' remember, it's just God's calendar, your time will come. His faith was tested by the massive promises God gave him. You can almost hear the voices in his head whispering: 'I thought your dream said you were supposed to be sitting on a throne. What are you doing sat here in prison then? God doesn't care about you.' But Joseph never gave in to negativity. He held on to those dreams. He knew God doesn't change His mind, so he made sure he didn't change his!

When you follow where God leads you can find yourself in the weirdest places, places that don't always seem like they are going to be good places. But there's always a reason. God told the prophet Elijah to go and hide himself in a dusty ravine by a brook where his only friends were birds (1 Kings 17:3). Only later was the importance of this time revealed.

This time hidden away with God focused him on the challenge ahead, defeating a twisted queen and her evil priests. Listen: 'The Lord will withhold no good thing from those who do what is right' (Psalm 84:11 NLT). His delays are not denials. He's never said anything He couldn't back up or promised anything He wouldn't deliver. So try thinking a bit less about your surroundings and a bit more about the Word God has given you!

SCARCED!

It was wednesday night, and we (neil, rachel, mariz, kim, andrew, and me) were discussing spine chilling ghost stories. We started talking around 2 or 3 if im not mistaken, and ended at 8!

Back then I was undergoing MAJOR SHORTAGE! I mean they went to this store to buy something to eat, me, on the other hand stayed at the table having nothing. My money was so exact that i cannot afford to lose even a single centavo, why? cause if I loose any, I won't be able to go home. GRABE!

Fortunately, I was able to reach home safe and sound,, hungry though. ahhahaha


Don't want to experience scarcity again!

Don't just eat..

Don't be like other people who are easily persuaded by the thoughts of whoever is speaking in front. Don't just swallow the food, chew it first. There might be some ingredients dangerous to penetrate in your system.

THE IMMEASURABLE STRENGTH.

daaaamn.. With regards to what happened this afternoon, I put all my praises to the PUPians who didn't let any element hinder them from freely quenching their thirst for truth. As a matter of fact, Lozada didn't give the whole truth, it was just a glimpse.

Nowadays, Lozada is the most controversial person . Hearing him speak is unquestionably priceless! The significance of his presence is worth fighting for since personalities like him sustain us light in this dark and cruel world. I mean, THE MAIN GATE, vehicles, security guards, AND EVEN BOMB THREATS.. wouldn't give PUPians fear, for the hope Lozada gives them is too big for any wall of threat to handle.

ALL OF YOU WERE GREAT.. ALL INDIVIDUALS WHO TOOK PART IN THE SEARCH FOR TRUTH.
