Read Psalm 121:1-8 When television coverage of the Winter Olympics brought visions of twirling, whirling ice skaters into our home, we had two diminutive skaters in our living room.  Spin after spin catapulted them into tangled heaps of arms and legs on the floor.  Finally, my five-year-old asked in exasperation, "Mommy, how do they spin so fast?"  I tried to explain a technique learned many years ago when I was the ballerina-to-be the technique of spotting.   Start by focusing your sight on a fixed spot and with each rapid turn of the head, return your gaze to the same place .  No dramatic improvement resulted from my little ballerina's initial efforts as she began trying this technique.   Spotting does not come naturally at any age .  She and her sister continued to look like they were playing a musical game of Twister, ending in the same heap on the floor.  But slowly, ever so slowly, spotting took effect.  Her turns were more controll...

Dear Lord,  Don't let me become frantic when I hear the statistics. The computer doesn't know me - doesn't know how much I laugh and cry, how well I'm loved, who my friends are, or how I'm prayed for.  It certainly doesn't know that You have a timetable for my life and Your timing is perfect. Amen. *  surely this 2012 summer time for me is the most productive and challenging time i've had.. got the hectic schedule yet manageable..by the grace of God, He keeps on sustaining me and encouraging me to finish this race i have..

credits Matthew 14:31  Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him.  “You of little faith,”  he said, “why did you doubt?” I have an issue of being a worrier. I worry a lot. I think a lot.  think+worry=me and I know that's not what God wants me to be.   So why worry if I have a big GOD? I have prepared myself yesterday to get my grades in school. Standing in a verrrrrrrrry looooong line, patiently I waited before I could head on to the person in-charge with all the manual processing of releasing the grades. Suddenly, I felt something that I don't want to feel in that situation - butterflies in my heart! So I stopped and prayed, "Lord, please let me see a passing grade." And there my grades are! PRAISE THE LORD! I passed all the subjects! What a relief! THANK YOU LORD! Next step:  Check the Schedule for Summer Classes. I went to the enrollment area and saw thicker lines of students.  Schedules for the subjects were projected. ...

credits I am missing out a lot of things in mind to share in my blog. I am almost missing out to visit my blog even if it's my default page in my computer. Oh, I say, I've been tooooooooooooo busy :( February: It was a month of challenge for me.  It's the month when I can totally feel the life of a student and a teacher. It was a bit hard.  Doing exam papers today for my students' exam next week, then review for tomorrow's exam or prepare for the report, etc.  It was totally exhausting.  BUT, I thank my God because He never fails to give me strength and push me to keep going and indeed, God enabled me! March: It was still a month of challenge for me. FINALS FINALS FINALS. Aside from studying and preparing things for final paper works, March was also a time for dancing, rehearsals, preparations for the graduation/sem-ender. It was also a time of success and victory for the Lord. March 24 marked the 17th Recognition/Graduation Exercises of the school I...

God is our loving Father , and the world we live in is our Father's world.  He is in control , but He doesn't necessarily arrange things to keep us comfortable or to make life easier.  Sometimes He permits just the opposite to occur, and we find ourselves nervous and upset and looking for somebody to blame instead of somebody to love.  We start groaning instead of growing, and another opportunity is lost for glorifying the Father. -Warren W. Wiersbe  (Bless You: Receiving and Sharing the Blessings of the Lord)

Humbling myself down at the cross and asking for God’s forgiveness were the things I remember 4 years ago. It was the time that I surrendered my crooked and hopeless life to the Lord. Year 2007 wasn't the ideal year for me - it was a year of rebellion until such time that I finally gave up and said "What have I done, Lord?" Accepting JESUS CHRIST as my personal Lord and Savior was the best decision I made in my 21 years of existence. I have been the worst person and did worst actions but the GRACE of God was upon me and He extended His loving arms to lift me up from my old, hopeless and sinful life. In my 4 years of being a Christian didn’t guarantee me to live a sinless and perfect life. Giving up all the things that were not pleasing to the Lord’s eyes was not a one-day mission. It's a step by step  process as I continually walk with the Lord. “That why we are CHRISTIAN – without CHRIST, I am IAN, I Am Nothing” Indeed, my life here on earth is nothing without ...

hello my friends! pm me in my fb or send me email here.. I JUST LOST MY PHONE.. (actually, it was yesterday!) sad TT.TT  but it's ok... I should not invest much on earthly things but my experience is teaching me a lot to look upon ETERNAL TREASURES! God bless you all! :)

 

Matthew 11:28 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." "Lord, protect me as I go home tonight. Thank you for the classes I had for the past 4 days.  Give me a good night sleep as I close my eyes.  Refresh my mind, my spirit and my heart.  I am happyemk and I have a cheerful heart, but today, I feel terribly tired and exhausted. May you give me STRENGTH everyday, may you SUSTAIN me in everything that I do" Love, EMK

It's really raining hard! It's a rainy Friday! While on my way to the office, I was really wet even if my umbrella and jacket helped me a lot. I just sighed " Papasok pa lang ako, yung itsura ko mukhang pauwi na ". Since I only have few classes today, I suddenly looked for my photos and tried to make fun of it. Here.. (as I'm typing, I really feel the comfort of our bed...SLEEPY) Take care everyone! LOL xoxo

It was 2009 when I had my short hair, a day after my graduation party. I called it a "trial and error" hairstyle. I just feel like cutting my hair very short.  But since my hair is wavy, I need the help from salon chemicals for my hair. taddah! My friend Maxine, edited my photo. :) Guess which one is the original :))

Ecclesiastes 3 A Time for Everything 1 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: 2 a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, 3 a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, 4 a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, 5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing, 6 a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, 7 a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, 8 a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.   9 What do workers gain from their toil? 10 I have seen the burden God has laid on the human race. 11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet[a] no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end. 12 I know that there is nothing bett...

When I was kid, I never liked kitchen. I never liked cooking, but I like eating! Growing up away from the kitchen, since we have elders to cook for our food, I never thought it will be a rough road for me learning kitchen activities.  I know how to cook rice, cook some fried foods. As much as I want to cook some of my favorite Filipino food, oh no, I think that would means a LOT!! Ha-ha I remember my sister and I was watching Sineskwela, (that was a decade ago or so), we tried to cook a burger patty out of banana blossom (“puso ng saging”). It was fun! Since then, my sister became our kitchen’s best friend. Now that I am old enough to be friends with our kitchen, I’m still having some fear to cook the food that I like. Well, this isn’t about cooking lesson though. Since I am expose to Korean culture, language and the likes, one of my hobby these past few months was to cook some “kimbap” and to eat “kimchi” and other Korean foods! I’ve tried to make kimbap. With the help of...

Can't have my break yet. SLEEPY zZz So cold in station!

I don't have any in particular topic in mind as my entry in my humble blog. :) I just had a good sleep last night! Every Sunday night, I could prepare myself for another week's battle in the office, so I'm grabbing the chance to get a good rest! (including nice dreams in which I would just forget upon waking up!) I remember my first avp "Identity", I think we really should know what our identity is - in our workplace, home, anywhere else! I thank God for giving me and identity, to be part as His child :) lol

Last Monday, I was not able to make an entry in my blog! It says:  "javascript: void(0)" Whaat???!  :( I'm not techie so I really don't know what's happening and/or how to cure it. Anyway! I'm back! I can now begin my blog again! yipee!! How's your WEEKEND by the way? I PRAISE GOD FOR..... the beautiful morning today! how about you? anything you want to say praises to God today? God bless you!

_a love song to my Savior_ first heard this on the day I accepted Christ as my Lord and Savior *january18,2008 What do I have if I don't have you JESUS?

This is my desktop wallpaper for the week. Believe that YOU too are capable of receiving blessings from God. Never stop delighting yourself to the Lord, from my gracious and loving Heavenly Father. God bless you all!

Today is our 151st day! Here we go again. We’re so “busy” that we forgot to greet one another! But we’re not mad with each other. We just laughed it off! It was like, “hey! It seems like we’re so serious with our relationship huh?” (The other way around)   Anyway, yeah! I’m busy this week. I am a volunteer in our church children ministry’s VBS (Vacation Bible School). It’s my 2nd day. Second day of getting up early. Second day of my unusual routine. And I love it! By God’s strength, I’m still up! He sustains me and will sustain me for the coming days. You know, it’s a humbling experience that the Lord gives you what you NEED. I need strength and presence of mind. I need wisdom and patience. I need this experience to see HIS plans for me after my VBS experience. I was just tapped 2 weeks ago and at first I was hesitant to join because of my work schedule – FEAR OF BEING LATE IN MY WORK! But TWO days, the Lord brings me at the office ahead of time, safe and sound. An...
