TAIZE'! :))))

This is really a very delayed post but anyway whatever! It's the thought that counts. Haha.

    I've been really excited for Taize' since the day Jessica,my friend, told me that we are going to stay in school for approximately 12 hours to pray and have some activities and what's the most exciting part is that we get to meet new people from  some schools in Iloilo and also other places like Passi. It was a very memorable experience! I had a blast but seriously I felt like drowning and I was a little tipsy for I wasn't really used to staying up late at night and what really killed me to rest myself to sleep was the talk which is sort of boring for I canno't really hear the speaker from my place so I was so sleepy.

We were asked to share our insights and learnings from the talk given by the speakers, I seriously had no clue as to which I was going to say. The funny and ridiculous story about me was that I went to the CR for I had a "nature calling" , and after that I didn't know where I was suppose to go or where my group was so I asked Mr. Guinmapang where my group was and he told me to go the group which I thought was the CRESCENT MOON shape, I was finish sharing my thoughts and insights but suddenly Diane,a classmate of mine, has noticed that my shape was different from the group that I was in. It turns out they were the PYRAMID GROUP.


I feel really stupid at that time for after realizing I was in a different group Diane and Nicholai which were part of the Campus Ministry pulled me out from the group so they were holding me as if I was a prisoner. Diane was holding my right wrist and Nicholai was holding my left wrist. I really felt embarrassed, we went from one group to another but when we were unable to locate my group mates I just stayed with Ariana's group instead. I again shared my insights and learning from the talk. After that we were busy interrogating the Seminarian which was in our group, he's name was Jim. We asked him questions like "do you have a facebook?" and all kinds of stuff which was really funny.


It was 3 am in my watch and I was really sleepy, sleepy in a sense that I was ready to collapse on the ground. From 3 am to 5 am I was super sleepy I had to fight my urge to sleep but I just can't fight the feeling so I napped for awhile just to lessen my sleepiness. After the Taize' I still went to Alice Kanaan's house to pick the things I left last Friday afternoon before going to the Taize', when we arrived we were hungry and sleepy. We ate the food that was still left from our snacks and after sustaining our hunger we directly went to sleep. We slept until 8 am, Aurelia woke us up for her car is already outside waiting for us so I immediately fixed my things and I went with her because we made a deal that she was dropping me off by my house for its just along the way. And when I arrived I immediately collapsed on my bed and I woke at exactly 3:30 in the afternoon, I had a terrible head ache.


It was super duper fun! :) minus the part where I feel like collapsing on the ground. I hope
you had fun too! May this experience be repeated again. SOON! :)

 

One way Jesus! :)

Nothing can make you feel more happier than sharing your talent and serving God. I believe that when you share your blessings, you utilize it. You make use of it by letting others who don't know how to sing or don't sing at all participate and by that you encourage them to become more closer to the God. Serving God is for me the most remarkable task I was able to accomplish for I know that when I serve God I become more close to him and I make contact with him. You may say I'm a very devoted child of God but I tell you this are the least that I can do for him in exchange for the things that He has given me. I know for a fact that in my own little ways I am able to express my deep gratitude for the blessings I receive each time I pray for Him, I always remember that life is not always full of hapiness and that they're also times when things get out of shape and you feel like your whole world's trembling down.

                           At this very moments I always find a way to pray to God and ask for His guidance and wisdom that I may be able to surpass the challenge that I am currently and about to face circumstances. That I may be able to distinguish right from wrong. In sharing my talents to others I don't forget to thank the Lord, creator of all things in which from Him I have seen all great things that made my eyes in awe for wonder and greatness. I thank teh Lord for from Him, I have lived and enjoyed this life! I am proud to say that I am able to share my talents to others plus I am able to serve the Lord! :)) How great can that be?

Everybody needs time to take a break!

All people always seek time for breaks! We all need this break because it is only at this time that we have a chance to reflect on things whether its is in the time when we search for what is true and correct and also at time where we have to clear our minds and escape reality. We escape reality for we know that it hurts, and that it pains us. As we escape reality and focus ourselves on fantasy, we begin to assume things to happen which are bound to be impossible. We do this things for we know that when we do this it'll lessen the pain of reality and at the same time it'll not hurt us. i remember the saying "The Truth shall set you free." , when I hear this words I immediately refocus myself towards reality for I know that even if reality hurts and it'll pain me , it'll give the logic that I' am not doing good so I need to correct my actions but if I stay in fantasy all the thoughts will always be "Don't worry, you're correct. You did it right!" but actually fantasy are supplying us with things that are full of love,care and compassion which is made by the mind only.
