No cap

 Been watching the NBA since the playoffs kaseee I have been out of it since last year. I have always loved basketball. Maiinis pa talaga ako when people make fun of it cause I enjoy being serious about my beloved sports. I even feel sepanx from my ball and the court kasi wala naman kaming court sa loob ng bahay and we are on quarantine. I should obey the government’s desire to contain this virus by doing our small part that collectively is a big contribution.

A lackluster living is a mediocre life. Same way with our walk with Jesus— we sleep on one defensive stance or take for granted one possession can cost us the win. 

Habits can either make us or break us. How we use our time now can affect our destination. So, how are we in terms of investing for the eternal than the temporal?

We have to continue to grow. The moment we feel we arrived is the moment we fall. As I watch the NBA finals, I was thinking about how the veterans feel about the 20 year olds that they are going against. Pride can easily come and that is the same way I feel when there are younger people better than me. I have a chip on my shoulder.

This pandemic has been pruning me as I said on my previous blog. WE HAVE TO WAIT, no cap. As I was peeling my face this week, which takes three days to be better, I was so impatient that in the first day that I saw how bad my skin looks like (which will definitely happen), I tried to peel it on my own but ended up hurting myself and needed another day to peel off completely after it clotted. Truly, we have to know the process and the timing. And not to be influenced by the people’s expectations. I did that because my mom criticized my face. Wanted to please her but ended up needing more time for my face to heal. I have seen how the Miami Heat have lived who they are and just compete without trying to please what other people want for them to do. After all, they have no reaponsibility of pleasing people.

Back to Basics

This is how I look like most of the week. On my screen talking to people—- virtually. This quarantine season has changed my life- a bunch. It brought me back to reality- doing the basics. I practiced my calligraphy drills, I learned how to piano, helped in the chores more than ever, bought meds and groceries for the family, got sick with the government (thankfully, didn’t get subpoenaed), helped our neighbors and driver, guards and juliets at work, shared the gospel to a bike  boy whom I rode for consecutively, read, did some arts, cleaned the house for n number of times, worked out AND CLUNG ON TO JESUS. This season taught me that I have no good thing apatrt from Christ. And that good thing is only Christ. And I would not know that if I don’t surrender to His Lordship and His will. I would have bad dreams night after night, but I have to fight it off in the morning and walk with Jesus again. It is a conscious effort to guard what I think of and fix my gaze on the author and...

Short

In a short span of time that I got to know Tita has really impacted my life. I shall try to share specific things here so that I get to record how she has encouraged me. The only picture we got together.  I shall start with why the title is short. We were going to minister to a place where our mission trip team went a month prior my mom and I’s visit. We were walking and she made ayos my shorts after it was creased.  That was I think the first time I knew she cared.   I am usually jittery when meeting the mom of the man that I like. But with her, she made me feel comfortable. Pero at first, natakot din ako kasi I know na di ako umaarte like kung sino talaga ako, yun ang ipapakita ko. I don’t set my best foot forward because I know eventually, she would know me and she would know who I really am. I am very takot not to be accepted. Lalo na that is my fear— to not be liked by my future mother-in-law if the Lord wills. But on our vacation time, we got the news that she ...

Freedom

Grace. I don’t deserve it. This covid pandemic has somewhat hardened my heart. It has shown my worst. And I believe that this is what really is inside me which haven’t surfaced until now. My flaws were magnified and it has sounded an alarm that I need to work on myself. That because of the too many work that needs attention, I had set myself aside. Whil reading a book on emotionally healthy spirituality, it has shown me that I am no superwoman. That I cannot change the world. That I can only do so much. And God is after my being with Him more than doing things for Him. So that is what I am planning to do as this year closes. But before that, I would love to go back to what happened last July why I started this blog with one word. Birthdays have never been a big deal for me. I enjoy having my birthday with no one knowing about it except my family. Maybe because I didn’t want to expect. I grew up loving my birthdays because of my family. But, there came a point in our life where we strug...
