Alagad

(Hango mula sa “Panalangin ng Isang Alagad ni Kristo”)
Rene Salvador R. San Andres/Fr. Mars Tan, SJ

Sa pagang mata ng lumuluhang ina
Sa walang lamang pisngi ng bulag na dukha
Sa tuyong labi ng gutom na bata
Sa kulubot na mukha ng pagod na manggagawa

Nasisilayan ko ang Iyong mukha
Nasisilayan ko ang Iyong mukha

Sa kanilang itinatangi Mo
Marapatin Mong isugo ako
Nang sa buhay nila’y makasalo
Maging sa pagtulo ng pawis at dugo.

Nang makamtan ang buhay na ‘pinagtibay
Ng ‘yong sariling kamatayan.

Just so I won't forget:

DS has one madre: Marilou dela Fuente. Gotta look for her.

Growing up.

Welcome, 22nd.

I have a feeling that this year will be a good one. Definitely better than the last. Is that optimism I smell? :P Hmm. It's just really going to be better.

I spent my day as any regular Sunday. Started it with our 6:30 Mass at St. Francis, then breakfast at home with the choir. But at least this time, it's not just leftovers. Ate Girlie cooked Pancit Malabon. :) Then usual 9:30 Mass at MSJ. Then yummy lunch and cake. Haha.

The difference is I went to Ateneo to join in the celebration of the feast of St. Ignatius, and the 150th of the Jesuits in the country. Father Superior General was the presider. *Starstruck* (though before he became SG, I always saw him in campus naman na rin hehe). It was a nice celebration. :) Since it was their 150th in the Philippines, there was a Filipino Theme. Of the missions that they've set up. Wow, they've done a lot. It was so amazing. A lot of people came. ANG DAMI! The HS Covered Courts was (singular lang yun diba?) filled. Ang daming nagmamahal sa mga Heswita. :)

I'm proud to be a product of the Jesuits. They taught me a lot. Here's to another 150 years (and even more)!

I saw Sir Land and his family thrice haha. He kept on greeting me. :P Of course I talked to ate Rina for a bit, to thank her for the birthday gift :) I just realized that lately ang dami kong natatanggap from ate Rina. Haha. Therese is so sweet, it doesn't take so long anymore for her to remember my name. Haha. I still have to make her Teresing stickers.

Hmm. Well, that's it. Friends greeted me via text, FB, Plurk, email, etc. Haha. I think today Guita will stay over for us to catch up. I'm not sure. Haha.


Anyway, I better end this. I have to eat lunch and then go to the bank. :)










Thanks for the new year. :)

Mosh Pit

I spent the last night of my 21st in a mosh pit. I was heartily screaming and jumping as Pupil sang. I screamed and squealed as my all time crush, Ely Buendia, sang familiar songs and other songs that were new to me. Grabe talaga. \m/

Early Tomorrow

Because I'm broke, I'll hitch a ride going to Ateneo. Matt has football, so I'll have to get up EARLY. Great. Oh well, at least I can watch Matt play. :)

I'll be facilitating three two-hour sessions tomorrow. For NSTP. Community Integration Tips. Yeah, THREE. Haha. Oh well. All for formation.

I went to Ateneo yesterday. Did some errands. Then of course, hung out with Ate Rina. :) Yey! We brought Therese to her ballet class in Moro. She's so cute, she's so excited to go to ballet :)

Gaah. Turning 22 on Sunday. >.< Why does 22 sound so scary? Though I think everything still feels the same. What's the difference between 12 and 22? Hmm. Oh, I watched Benjamin Button this afternoon.

Sige na, will sleep na.









Excited!

MGA UNANG HAKBANG TUNGO SA TAO (ni Joe Vibar Nero)

(galing sa module ng NSTP Community Integration Tips, OSCI)

Hindi gawaing biro ang “gawaing tao” o gawaing pagtratrabaho kasama ang tao. Hindi kasing dali ng “pagpaparoon at pagparito.”

Napakalaking halaga ang hinihingi nito sa isang tao na ang buong kalooban ay nakatuon sa kapwa at sa pagpapahalaga at pagtatanggol ng kanyang pagkatao. Tinutukoy ang salitang “tao” (ang buong pagkatao) bilang indibidual at bilang bahagi ng isang komunidad ng mgatao, na ang bawat kasapi ay buo ang pagkatao: may dangal, pagpapasya at kalayaan. Layunin ng pagtungo natin sa tao ang gawaing komunidad na makatao at Kristiyano, ito ang mga taong bumubuo nito. Isang Kristiyanong komunidad, isang Bayan, isang Diyos.

Dahil tayo’y mga estudyante, limitado an gating panahon. Anong magagawa natin upang pagkasyahin at hindi sayangin?

PUMUNTA KA SA TAO
Napakahalagang dalisay ang hangarin mo sa iyong pagpunta. Hindi ka pumunta dahil gusto molang, walang mangyayari sa iyo.

Kung iniisip mong kailangan ka nila, nagkakamali ka. Hindi ka isang Mesiyas o isang tagapagligtas. Ano ka? TAO, katulad ng pupuntahan mong tao.

MAKINIG KA
Huwag kang masyadong mausisa. Ingatan mo ang iyong pananalita. Higit na mabuti kung huwag ka munang magsalita.

Pakinggan mo ang kanilang sinasabi at ang kanilang hindi sinasabi kailanman.

TUMINGIN KA
Ang kahulugan ng salitang tingin ay di lamang pagtingin ng mga mata kundi ng buong pagkatao.

Ang katotohana’y hubad ang iyong harap! Nasa gitna ka ng hiwaga. Huwag kang tumulala!

Damhin mo ang kanilang nadarama. Tumitibok pa ba ang puso nila?

PUMASOK KA SA KARANASAN
Huwag mong hatulan ang iyong nakikita at naririnig. Huwag kang padala sa maling katwiran.

Pumasok ka sa kanilang buhay at karanasan, sa kanilang kalooban.

KILATISIN MO ANG MGA BAGAY
Tingnan mo ang lahat sa pamamagitan ng mata ng Maykapal.
MANALANGIN KA

Huwag umasa sa sariling lakas. Higit mo Siyang kailangan, di tulad ng iyong akala.

Sa kabuuan…
Maging magalang at mapagpakumbaba.
Makakatulong ang paggamit ng po, opo at ho.
Laging magpasalamat sa mga kabutihang ipinapakita sa atin.
Makinig ng mabuti sa sinasabi at gusting sabihin ng kausap.
Huwag ipilit ang sariling paningin o makipagtalo.
Maging interesado tayo.

Huwag mangako ng anumang tulong kung hindi kayang tuparin, kahit na simpleng babalik sa komunidad o institusyon pagkatapos ng NSTP.

Drafted

I haven't been writing, here nor in my journal. It sucks when I have a lot of things to write, but I can't find the willingness to write. I really want to put all of these down. I want to remember. I want to learn. I want to look back on something. I just want to dump them so that I could feel lighter again.

I read some old stuff. It felt stupid. But god, I know I've grown so much. Things have been better. Way better. Those things just looked so dumb, yet I know without those I wouldn't be here now. I wouldn't be this. Those have taught me a lot. Even if I feel that those things were the worst parts, they were necessary. They are necessary. Learning processes.

I talked with Edralin through Y!m today. She left a note on Wall, so I messaged her. I like talking with her, brings much sense to me. Such a wise friend. Throughout my senior year she's been consistent about reminding me to just keep on fighting 'cause there are still a lot more to do. Until now, she's still like that. I'm grateful.

Eh?

Di ko na talaga gets. Kapag di ako nagtatanong, nagagalit. Kapag nagtatanong ako, nagagalit pa rin. Hay nako.

Kamusta naman yun?

=)

Using my Nintendo DS to post!

Andoy resurrected

Oh yeah. 1:33AM. In my room. Using Andoy. Internet connection. Whoo. :) Thanks Marc!

Had a great day yesterday (July 1). Let's just do points again:
- Start of my birthday month!
- Went to TMC. Saw Anika! Cool. Next time dapat si Cla naman. Doc Lou lent me a book. Haha, Stress Management for Dummies. She's so nice talaga. She saw me reading C.S. Lewis' biography kasi, so she lent me a book. Cura personalis talaga. She gave me tips and much support for the Canada thing. I love it
- Half-dose. Next goal, no more! Freedom!
- One month! Yey.
- Found a flash maker! Sana makagawa sila.
- "Packaging" haha.
- Marc fixing the router and the network. Ang galing!
- Adium! Facebook chat!


Hmm. Yun lang. gotta sleep. Haha.








Sleep tight!

Monster Ensaymada

Wala lang yung title. Natuwa ako sa sagutan namin ni Ama sa wall niya sa FB.

Just a few lines before I leave for TMC.

Naisip ko lang:

- Bakit kapag sinusubuan natin yung iba (e.g. bata), nakanganga rin tayo?

Sabi ni Ella kahapon:
- You shouldn't eat chocolate when you're sick.
- Don't play with me! I'm not a toy!

Parang ang kebs ko na talaga dun sa mga issues about 2010. So sad. Pero hmm. Hope's not completely lost, kasi kung nalulungkot ako na ganito ang reaction ko, it must mean something.

I miss dinners with Guita.

Japan Film Festival coming up! Free movies @ Shang again!

I want to have a birthday dinner with my ANI, DS, and CoSF friends.






I have to go.
