Summer Vacation Ends…
It’s been a while since I’ve posted here and honestly…I’ve got a little lazy over the summer vacation and I really didn’t want to do much at all. Maybe I got a little tired from doing my daily routines and such…maybe I just have to exercise so that everything would go back to normal. Besides, for a Christian, it’s definitely not healthy to be lazy! If the devil works 24/7 to stop the plans of God so how are we doing then, right?
I had a lots of summer memories to treasure but on top of that I realize something during those two months of fun and boring days…and that is never to forget the reason why we do these things like your purpose in life, ministry, studies, and etc. I’ve found my reason why I do these things…first is my love for God and second is to learn how to love the unlovable! I only have a week before my college life begins and I’m quite excited surprisingly :D
That’s why Christians out there you should heed what God has been telling you all this time. Never forget the reason why we persevere here on Earth! I believe that wherever God placed you…he trusted you that you could do this thing successfully!

High School Coming to an End…
I only have until tomorrow to be with my classmates in High School…and I can’t believe that this day would come…our separation to pursue or dreams and calling in life! Tomorrow night we’ll be having our thanksgiving night and I’ll spend all of the time left with my friends because I don’t know when we’ll be meeting again… :))
But seriously, I’ll never forget them…the teachers, the campus, the noise, the creative events and project held. There’s nothing like your third home (‘cause I have my house as first…second is the church!)… I really do hope that I made a difference on their lives…somehow maybe touched them to become better individuals. I wasn’t the type of person to be the leader…I’m a little laidback but I believe that they will remember me in some way! :D
Anyways, I’ve got nothing to say at all…I’m speechless as of now and I can’t write anything on this entry much. Maybe I’ll try another day to do this properly :p

I’m Back!!!
Man, it’s almost two months that I haven’t posed anything new in my blog this year 2011. Well, I guess I declare this entry as my first in 2011! XD
Wooh…I did a lot of things since I am a graduating student in High School and honestly I don’t want to leave High School Life yet. It’s too sad to leave your friends behind better yet their souls are not saved! I have to make a way to make them believe that there is a God who loves them so… I don’t want them to experience eternal suffering in Hell after they leave this world. It would really make me feel guilty!
There are so many things that I wanted to type in this entry but maybe I may not remember them all…January to February huh? I only have a week to go before my final exams in my graduating year. After all of that, clearance then graduation…man, I don’t really want to cry because of that! But I’ll miss my classmates so much especially my closest friends at school… I have a lot of things to tell them too like how Christ died for us…
Last night was our JS Prom and I really enjoyed this event more than last year’s prom. Although, the time was really limited and we had our hangover with our last dance…I wished time just stopped in that moment even if was for five minutes. I didn’t got any awards that night but I really liked the way I was last night. Hmm, I kind of like my prom dress this year than last year too because it kept on showing my cleavage since I have a big chest. Well, I can’t say all the details of the event last night but the buffet wasn’t that great and program flow was just plain wrong. Although overall we all enjoyed the Prom last night :)
But above all else…before I had my sleep I thanked God that I have friends to enjoy with at the Prom! It was a night that I would never forget even if I turn into my middle ages or old ages hahahahaha :D
Hopefully, I’ll be able to type more entries but this week and the next week will be a little impossible because I still have to catch up and finish my requirements for this last year at High School :)
Good night ya’ll! XD

Christmas Vacation Finally…
Wahoo!!! Christmas vacation has begun and I can rest a lot…particurlarly sleep a lot in the holidays! :) Although, not really sit around all vacation, we’ll do some recording and going to relatives and such. And it’s a good thing that we won’t have much projects to do in the education topic…sigh, it’s pretty much a relief because usually teachers would give a load of homework! Well IT IS the holidays so it’s deserving for students like me to give some slack.
Today, we’re having our Encounter Weekend and it was quite well…what can I say…weird, well a little but it went smoothly so far. The topics we’re all jumbled up and we didn’t have much praise and worship too and we got scolded by our Pastor…well, we make mistakes too of course! We can never be perfect but we could be holy like Daddy JC, right? :D
While was doing this post I listened to some songs of David Crowder and this song really clicked my mind all of a sudden and made me realize a lot of things… I only got the chorus part…if I’m correct…hehehe…
I’m pretty sure that all of us have different interpretations of songs like this but I do recommend that you listen to it! :)
Here it is:
You are holy, holy, holy
All heaven cries “Holy, holy God”
You are holy, holy, holy
I wanna be holy like You are

Depressed? I think not…
What a day…really frustrating…especially in my Economics Exam! I had the feeling that I would fail that exam because for some odd reasons my teacher made our exam appropriately for 2 hours but in our schedule, it says that it should be only 1 hour. I really don’t know if there’s something in the head of my teacher but it goes with the saying… “Life wasn’t always fair” and I agree with that…
It’s either we win or lose…there’s nothing between in it…
I went home really pissed because I wasn’t able to finish my exams in Economics properly although my Math and Filipino went well…especially Filipino because it’s all about El Filibusterismo! ;) I told my parents about it this afternoon so that they won’t actually expect such a high score in my Economics…and unfortunately, we still have exams tomorrow too and I’m studying my English subject right now. Physics subject will be later…
So…I found this verse and it really gave me the realization that in our sufferings we find perseverance next character and finally hope. In other words, we should always hope for the best things to happen rather we should claim it in prayer always. You may do your devotionals, read a lot of Christian books, soak in prayer but without experience of suffering you won’t be able to find character and hope. So always ask for wisdom to God always and you’ll never know you might have something special in you…
Romans 5:2-4 (NIV)
Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.

Exams, Exams, and Exams…
This week is definitely a hectic schedule for students like me! Since it’s almost Christmas we have to complete our requirements immediately before the vacation plus, I’m going to be graduating in a few months (NOOO!!!)… I always asked myself that why do we have to have exams before the happy-joy-joy part? well like some people say, “No pain, no gain…” but it’s a good things that on the 17th of December we’ll be having a Christmas party in school!!! (n_n)
Which means I’ll have to buy for the exchange gift…I have no money and we don’t have any upcoming Life Conferences this month which is a bummer because that’s where I get my hard earned cash…huhuhuhuhu…
So anyways, I’m reviewing right now for the 2nd Periodical Exams (yep, we’re using trimester system in school which is pain…). My schedule for 1st day tomorrow will be: Math, Filipino, Economics, and TLE. Yipee, the first day is full of computations and formulas and how I hate accounting in TLE…I admit that I don’t like analyzing problems but Mom always tells me that I have to somehow like the subject or else I won’t be able to get a good grade! (T.T)
But remember that as sons and daughters of Daddy JC one should be excellent in any aspect of their life. Rather, they should always do (not “try”) their very best! We were originally created to be excellent in different ways like in the field of Mathematics, Music, Performing Arts, Fine Arts and many more…no one in Earth is stupid you know! We all have something special inside that can make us extraordinary everyday and why not do to live that way? Daddy JC has done many times while He was on Earth! :)
That’s why I’ll be doing my very best to at least obtain a high grade in my exams! So for students who live in the Philippines and right now studying for the exams may God be with you and guide you well in the exams!!!
Good night!!! XD

What a blessed day!
Wootz!!! Another entry coming in this blog of mine again! Man, I can’t believe that it’s night time already…about 11:12pm to be exact…it was really a full schedule:
8:00am-12:00pm… Divisoria Mall (buying some presents for Christmas)
12:30pm-2:00pm… Rested at home (getting ready for the concert in FIPA…)
2:00pm-7:00pm… FIPA venue (rockin’ with the Life+YLL Band!)
7:00pm-7:30pm… Roadtrip (went to The Fort; Mckinley…looking for a place to eat!)
8:00pm-9:30pm… Eating dinner at Tokyo Cafe (it was really delicious!)
9:30pm-10:30pm… Stroll around at Venice Piazza (wootz…picture, picture!)
10:30pm-10:50pm… Went home safe and sound
And now, I’m here at my room typing this post! Yeah, I feel really sleepy because I ate quite a lot. Like a construction worker’s appetite…I don’t eat like a girl so sorry. A lot of things happened on this rest day and I thank God for such a victorious day! The concert was a success and we were able to have a good time during dinner! :)
But you know, I remembered that we went to the place of the concert venue…well, the equipment was…you see…not that excellent for playing…even though the drums was Fernando Deluxe branded, it was all rusty, fragile and dusty…I wanted to wipe it because I care for the instrument…and the sound of the drums that I used there kinda sucks that’s why it was a good thing that I brought my Cymbals, Hardware, and Drum pedal with me.
In the midst of this kind of equipment…I still give my best on the performance even if the instrument wasn’t excellent in its sound. What would Daddy JC want is your heart during the live performance…who do you dedicate this things to? Why do you do this even though the sound of the drums suck? Second is passion but first of all because I love God so much that I would dedicate the gift that He gave me and that is being a drummer…
I may not be that much of a pro but God trusted me on this so I better give my best in giving praises and thanksgiving to my God… The performances that I do is only for Him… He is my main audience! That’s why I’m never ashamed of being the drummer I am now! No matter how poor looking the equipment you use…God will always look at your heart first then second your performance! Remember that! :)
Good night ya’ll!

Confessions of a Leader…
Hey ya’ll!!!
It’s been a long time since I’ve written on my blog…sorry if I updated just now but you won’t feel like you’ve lost something big by reading this post!!! :)
Today…no wait, I mean tonight…I’m here to say about my experiences on being a leader! Yeah, you think the leader is “the boss” but you know in reality when you’re in a professional group, your team’s fault will be always your flaws! Whatever they do will be always your responsibility!
Yup, that’s it! It’s actually my first time to be in the league of leaders…I was always one of the dudes who follow the leader’s orders. But now that our previous leaders moved to the next level but the other one needs to mind her studies in the field of medics. So…it was pretty a pain in the neck to manipulate my team at first. I reminded them so many times to this and that but they report to me empty-handed which leaves me very pissed…yeah…so when you become leader in a professional group the boss will only get mad at the leader of the group…not the whole team…but I never give up or cry because of what position I am now…
It takes a lot of time, effort, and encouragement to train your team but it’s the fun along the way. You’ll get to know your team’s interests and such! It’s one of the best privileges that I have and I’m very thankful to God that he put me in this kind of position so that I’ll be strong when I build my own church someday! :)
So, after a few ups and downs…my team’s like a working machine because they understood and realize that they should enjoy on what’re they doing and most of all…it’s for God’s glory! Whether we eat or drink we do it for the glory of His name!
That’s why never give up on being a leader of some team…because that is one of the greatest privileges that God can give to you if you’ll be good enough! :)

Fasting Mode :)
Wootzz! I’m back!!! It’s been such a long time since I wrote in this blog…lately, people are beginning to decrease in reading my posts…please, encourage them to read for what is written here! They’ll never know they might learn something new here! Today, our church rather the citizens of our church is on corporate fasting…
On the first day there are so many things that I’ve learned from Daddy JC! That through the Holy Spirit we love our God this much…more than we could imagine because common sense alone won’t stand at all with this much…well, if I type everything that Daddy JC said…I might do it all night and forget to do my homework! But anyways, aside from the fasting and all…I was browsing in youtube some Christian songs and I stumbled upon this very good song!
Actually, I think Christians might really know this song…in fact, this was one of the first songs sent by God before Hillsong, Planetshakers, or Citipointe came in..phew, nothing beats the old-fashioned songs of God…then again, it’s not old…but it became a legacy!
Do you have any ideas? No? It’s the song “Amazing Grace”!!! Whenever I hear this song it brings tears to my eyes all of a sudden and then God told me…that I understood grace…and how really amazing it is! Just like the composer who wrote this song he was too overwhelmed by grace that when he wrote this song he was out of words for describing how amazing grace is…
I know that I’m in ease when I’m with Daddy JC…because He is my shield and portion! :) I’ll never have to worry! :D
