All the bad choices

Sunday, November 30, 2008
I have this ideal picture in my head, but then in reality it never really happens. Everything's all about the bad choices in life, and it has kept things miserable.

Watch!

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Mark 13,33-37.

Be watchful! Be alert! You do not know when the time will come. It is like a man traveling abroad. He leaves home and places his servants in charge, each with his work, and orders the gatekeeper to be on the watch. Watch, therefore; you do not know when the lord of the house is coming, whether in the evening, or at midnight, or at cockcrow, or in the morning. May he not come suddenly and find you sleeping. What I say to you, I say to all: 'Watch!'"

Sick

Tuesday, November 18, 2008
Stayed home today, had fever and was throwing up last night. :( I still feel tired, I wish I could still stay home longer. Hay. I feel so bad. I feel so lost. :( I wish I could just stay home, to just have my own pace. The stress and pressure is eating me. :( Good luck.

I wonder what you're thinking now that you've read this. :( Hay. Leave me alone, unless if you know how to make me feel better..

Christmas Gift

Sunday, November 16, 2008
What do I give this year? As always, I want something personally made. But do I still have time? And what will it be this time? I'm thinking cards again, but I don't know what to make this time.

Think. Think. Think. I need a theme.

"Pack with Love"

I was blog-hopping randomly today, and I bumped into this:

"The team spent the night at the Divine Word College of Legazpi.

December 21, 2006

(parts omitted)

By the afternoon, some groups went to Cagsawa, others helped in the repacking of goods at the relief center. A profound lesson was shared here by our younger volunteers: when packing relief goods, pack with love. :-) Really, need we say more?

Two other activities for the day, debriefing of a local NGO staff and evening debriefings in an evacuation center, were cancelled.

December 22, 2006

The team returned to ground zero in San Isidro, Santo Domingo to go house to house and conduct debriefings when possible. We left for Manila at 6pm." (from Ate Kay's blog--HERE)


PACK WITH LOVE.

I guess I already forgot that I was the one who gave that insight. It's just now that I've encountered it again. It's a great reminder for me, who lately have just been focusing on getting the tasks done. I've been missing on the "with love" aspect of doing things.

In everything that I do, I must always remember this--to do everything with love. After all, magis isn't just about doing more per se, but rather loving more.



"Pack with love."

Pray Unceasingly


Saint Basil (c.330-379), monk and Bishop of Caesarea in Cappadocia, Doctor of the Church
Homily 5

"Jesus told them... to pray always"


Don't restrict your prayer simply to asking in words. To be sure, God has no need of discussion; even were we to ask him nothing, he knows what is needful for us. What is there to say? Prayer does not consist in formulae; it encompasses the whole of life. «Whatever you eat or drink,» the apostle Paul says, «or whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God» (1Cor 10,31). Are you at table? Pray. In taking bread, give thanks to him who bestowed it; in drinking wine, remember him who gave you this gift to rejoice your heart and solace your ills. Once the meal is finished, do not fail, come what may, in the remembrance of your benefactor. When you put on your tunic, thank him who gave it you; when you put on your cloak, bear witness to your regard for the God who provides us with clothing suitable for winter and summer and so as to protect our life.

When day is done thank him who has given you sun for the day's work and fire to give light at night and supply for our needs. Nighttime provides you with cause for thanksgiving: when looking at the sky and contemplating the beauty of the stars, pray to the Lord of the universe who has made all things with such wisdom. When you see all nature lying asleep, adore again him who relieves all our weariness with sleep and restores the vigor of our strength with a little rest.

In this way you will pray without ceasing if your prayer does not satisfy itself with formulae but, to the contrary, you remain united to God throughout your existence in such a way as to make of your life an unceasing prayer.

co-workers in the truth

Third Letter of John 1,5-8.

Beloved, you are faithful in all you do for the brothers, especially for strangers; they have testified to your love before the church. Please help them in a way worthy of God to continue their journey. For they have set out for the sake of the Name and are accepting nothing from the pagans. Therefore, we ought to support such persons, so that we may be co-workers in the truth.

iMiss

It has been a while since I have been working, and now things have already sunk in. There have been a lot of changes and I am struggling to adjust.

I am now missing a lot of things. I miss school, the laid back atmosphere of school. Now that I have experienced both, I would say that I like school more. Work is really HARD WORK.

I miss my friends. I miss hanging out for hours with them. I miss org work. I miss my block. I miss DS. I miss group works. I miss cram times. Hay.

Senti. :( I feel so lonely.
