My Little Baby

My two nieces, Ella & Yanna. Ella just graduated from high school and is getting ready for college. CONGRATS ATE ELLA!

I used to put Ella to sleep when she was a little cuddly baby. She was just as chubby as Yanna is. Very cute little baby but very "sungit". She loves "ishcabetti"(spaghetti) and sinigang. It was a pleasure to see her grow into a fine young woman.

Time flew by so fast and now i can't believe she is a college student already. In a few years she'd be getting ready to get out in the real world and become one of us. I'm just a proud TITO here. Love you lots ELLA!!!

See i have been quite sick these past few days. But i can't seem to take a day off, i do have lots of sick days left but i'm feeling so guilty to take it. Maybe one of these days...hmm..maybe. I think i'm becoming a better employee now. ha!ha! Plus, it's almost Friday and i can't wait for the weekend.

Well, that's it for now. I'll be back soon! Take care y'all!

As i was driving home yesterday, my mind was just filled with thoughts of "what ifs". Thinking what life could have been had i made a different choice. I'm probably working in the hospital right now giving care to the sick or working in my studio doing my film scoring. But then i chose to be unselfish (sorry couldn't tell you why) or rather be where God intended me to be.

Right after graduating from high school, i was filled with the same thoughts of what ifs. Confusion just completely overwhelmed me and all that i had to do was pray: I asked God to pick the school where He thinks would work for me best. Sure enough, He did.

These thoughts of "what ifs" has lead me to become worried about the decisions i have to make in life. But why do we worry so much about life? Can we not live without worrying and not burden ourselves with thoughts that will only lead to destruction? Yep. We are destroying our mind and body when we worry. It all adds up slowly by slowly without you realizing you have completely destroyed your peace.

Focussing on the greater things in life will eventually give you that peace of mind. But where peace comes from, you have to seek. I guess worrying is synonymous to temptation. When you fall for sin you take yourself away from God. Christ is the only source of peace. And then we start to lose peace....then we worry. Thus our worrying originates from falling to temptation or sinning.

Going back, i was supposed to go home and sleep yesterday. God lead me to a different place. I drove to a bookstore and the first religious book i grabbed, God spoke to me all about my "what ifs." I was so relieved. Knowing that there is a greater being overlooking me is just a very nice feeling. Like a comforting mother who takes care of us when we are sick.

So my friend if you are faced with "what ifs" Why don't you ask God to lead you to a place where he can explain it to you as well? You'll come out a different person.

God bless! Almost weekend!!! WOHOO!

This made my day :)

3. Used to love smoking and drinking and a playa. uh oh! another deep secret.

7. Oh here's another thing, he loves CASINOS. He's a wise player though. I remember when my dad used to bring us to Vegas when i was a kid but i couldn't go in the slot machines so he would give me a buffet ticket (steak and chicken wings are my favorite) and money to go play in the arcade. Best thing was, we get the suites with jacuzzi!!!! Really awesome! And they're free!!! OH OH...did i mention..he used to be a playa?

8. Dad must have spent all his money, we don't go there anymore! haha! Or has he mellowed down?

10. He married his first GF, who was never married until they met again after my mom passed away.

Updates! Updates!

It's been awhile since i last posted an entry. I guess it's time for some more updates on what's goin on in the hood!

Due to a very cold weather, i woke up with a very bad allergy this morning. Cold temperature always triggers my allergies. I tried not to sneeze because i know that once i start sneezing it won't stop. Boy was i right! My nose hurts already from all the tissue rubbing and i had to wait till lunch before i could grab some meds. Finally, it has mellowed down. I haven't sneezed in the past 40 mins. Meds must have started to kick in already. But after taking the a tablet, i was all droopy, the labels says "non-drowsy" but why was i droopy?

The past few weeks have been fired up with SFC service. Yes. Glad to be back on track and do more for the community. God must be really happy that we're all doing this for Him. Last week i gave a talk and i'm just thankful for the opportunity to share my insights with other people.

Since we are talking about service now. It would probably be a good idea to talk about our sincerity and authenticity of our service to God. It is good to ask ourselves sometimes, "Am i doing service out of love, or Am i doing it to mask my selfish motives?" God sees our hearts and nothing is hidden in His sight. It is unfair to give half-baked service because God was never unfair with His Love for us. Either you give it all or nothing. I say nothing because as i said in my talk, when you love God, you give every bit of you, you have to give it your all.

To use your community to eye for possible GG as a mere reason to join is a total shame. Be ashamed of yourself but most of all be afraid of HIM who sees your heart and your inner soul. No one should be judged by their actions but we must all be aware of the consequences of our actions. We belong to the community to inspire, to serve and to evangelize. Nuff said.

On a lighter note, i look forward to a relaxing weekend. Sorry, i have to cut this short, boss just sent me home early. I gotta bail. Later people.
