Lost Phone
Thursday, February 18, 2010
Hi Friends,
Tuesday night, on the way home, my bag was slashed and my phone was stolen. Thankfully, nothing else was lost. I hope the person who stole it may be able to put to good use my phone.
I have a spare SIM card, so you can contact me at this number: +63 916 4137987
(I'm using it via the Globe Broadband internet stick, so that means that you can only reach me thru SMS, and that won't be 24/7). I'll just be notifying you when I already have a 24/7 mobile phone haha.
Please can send me your contact details thru the following:
- Email: jaymeeduran@yahoo.com OR jduran_clcfi@ymail.com
- Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/jaymeeduran
- Plurk: http://www.plurk.com/jaymeeduran
Thanks a lot. Ingat!

Hay. What runs in the heads of those who do harm to others? What moves
them to do such things? I feel some anger towards whoever stole my
phone, but actually more than anger I feel disappointment and pity
towards that person. He could not even make a sound decision of the
right thing to do. Poor man. Yet one is also brought to think about a
greater context of the environment that may have pushed him to do such
a thing.

Crap. So many points for thought. Sigh.

One year
Monday, February 15, 2010
Happy anniversary--January 29.
It's been a year since I started with the treatment. Well, things have been better. Thank God. Will just have to continue working on it, and maybe, eventually, I'll be completely off the program.
Looking forward to that. But now, will have to take things one color at a time :)
Fight!

She's my Korean friend, Julia. Because of her I got to know the Taize community better. :) Sigh, I'll miss her when she goes back to Korea.

Tired
Monday, February 08, 2010
Work resumes tomorrow. After missing it for four days to be at the
pilgrimage, I've got a million things piled up to do. Sigh. I have to
catch up.
pilgrimage, I've got a million things piled up to do. Sigh. I have to
catch up.
Am I tired? Yes I am, but I don't know how to get rid of my tiredness.
I have to learn how to set aside my thoughts and worries first,
they're eating up my brain. I need to focus and keep on going.
I need to realign my reasons. I need to review. I think this will help
a lot.

The Sabbath was made for man
Tuesday, January 19, 2010
Baldwin of Ford (?-c.1190), Cistercian abbot
The Sacrament of the altar, 3, 2 (SC 94, p. 523 rev.)
"The Sabbath was made for man"
Blessed repose and a holy satisfaction are what make for true beatitude, and of this Sabbath and the manna are symbols. When he had given rest and satiety to his people with the Sabbath and manna, thus prefiguring the true blessedness he will give to those who obey, the Lord rebukes for his disobedience the man who might cause them to lose these most desirable possessions: «How long will you refuse to keep my commandments and laws?» (Ex 16,28). After this question of the Lord's, Moses invites his brethren to consider God's gifts: «Take note! The Lord has given you the Sabbath. That is why on the sixth day he gives you food for two days so that you may consent to serve him.» This warning means that God will give rest for their labours to his elect and the consolations of this present life in addition to those of the life to come.
But in addition to this, two forms of life are suggested to us by this passage: the active life in which we now have to work, and the contemplative life for which we are working and in which we shall be completely available to the contemplation of God. For although the contemplative life belongs especially to the world to come yet it must be represented even in this life by the holy Sabbath rest. Concerning this rest Moses adds: «On the Sabbath day everyone is to stay home and no one is to go out.» In other words: Everyone is to rest in their house and not go out for any kind of work on the Sabbath. This teaches us that during times of contemplation we should remain within ourselves, nor go out by means of forbidden desires but collect our whole intention «in purity of heart» [as Saint Benedict says] to think on God alone and love him only.

Examen 2009
Friday, January 01, 2010
December 2008, I wrote a list of things to do for 2009. I'll take some time now to review, and maybe come up with a new list.
Here goes:
- Discern well. Listen. Become brave. Decide. Move on.
> This was about resigning from Pathways. Eventually I decided that it wasn't for me. I resigned March. So far I think I've moved on well.
- Clean up my name and mess.
> Haha, lacking one more thing to do for this! Darn.
- Run with Louisa.
> We never did this. Crap. I promise I'd run/bike regularly now. But not with Louisa anymore haha. Maybe Raqs, sabi niya eh.
- Set up the Wireless Network at home (especially now that Andoy is back on track and that my Nintendo DS has a cool internet thingie).
> WALA!! Marc was able to fix it for a while, then Ondoy happened. Haha.
- Faith formation.
> Happy to say that I am fulfilling this. I'm now working at Christian Life Community Formation Institute.
- Sort my files (in Andoy and the PC).
> Well, my files in the PC are now gone (thanks Ondoy). Andoy's files are still messed up. More messed up than before.
- Civil Service Exam.
> Didn't try. Maybe 2010. I'm not too interested anymore, though.
- Send snail mail to my relatives abroad.
> Nope. But will send them Christmas (2009) cards via Ate.
- Family matters.
> Better. Thanks Dr. Lou.
- Apply for Canada.
> Applied. Denied!
- Throw away my useless stuff from GS to College.
> Did this! So proud of myself. Dami ko rin naitapon! Though I still have one big bag, I couldn't really sort through them 'cause I can't get it. It's stuck.
- Make that drawing project with Vinia.
> It's now a Quotes Book Project! We have an egroup, I've typed up all my quotes. That's it. We're stuck there. :P
- Get/Stay in touch with my old blockmates (DS and Lit).
> Well, Vinia and Anne for Lit. Siyempre si Vinia kasi best friend #2.
> For DS, Guita! best friend #1.
- Food for DevSoc first GA. :)
> Wasn't able to do this. Didn't have work eh. No work = no money. Huhu. Maybe for next schoolyear.
- Learn how to drive.
> NADA. Carry over for 2010.
- Get my SSS ID.
> Carry over for 2010.
- Apply for a postal ID.
> Ang daming requirements!! Parang ayaw ko nalang! Haha.
- Get a sedula.
> Nakakuha ako nung January. Expired na. Haha. Have to get another one.
- Go to Ayala Museum (sulitin ang membership) and other Museums.
> I was able to go to Ayala Museum last May/June? Didn't renew membership again.
- Read at least 3 novels.
> Novels? I did read a lot of books :) Yey! As in natatapos. Though I haven't finished reading Prince Caspian pa rin. Tinamad ako. Naging too exciting kasi (not sarcastic ha!)
- Write a research paper. (Guita!!! HELP!)
> I had plans to. Even consulted Dr. Sio about it. Not yet ready to do it. Dr. Sio told me to just keep on listing down my thoughts. :) Eventually.
- Score 100 in Timezone basketball. Haha.
> Nagawa ko ito! Pero hindi sa Timezone. Pero still!
- Organize Canticle of St. Francis matters. (song line ups, formation, etc)
> We now have officers. Our song line ups are better. We have formation activities every now and then. We just have to implement rules more.
- Complete the nine mornings of Simbang Gabi.
> Oh yes! 11 nga na-attendan ko eh :) Didn't wish for anything. :P
- Enroll for Flute Classes, and master at least one piece.
> Had plans to. Even asked at Lyric. Couldn't commit myself.
- Attend a retreat.
> Well, those days at *Antartica felt like a retreat :)
- Clean up my Yahoo! and Gmail email accounts.
> Magulo na ulit yung Yahoo! :P Gmail, didn't touch it.
