REAL LOVE IS UNSELFISH

Real love doesn't look at reasons to love. When we truly love a person, we just love that person regardless of what he or she can or cannot give us back. When we start to have reasons for loving someone, then we're bound to fall out of love when we lose these reasons. It has been said that the greatest measure of love is its ability to continue loving even when we cannot find a reason to love anymore. That is the real essence of love. When we can think of one reason not to love a person, then we can't be capable of truly loving because love doesn't keep a scale of what it can gain from a relationship. Real love is unselfish.

SPLIT

Jesus said to the chief priests and elders of the people: “What is your opinion? A man had two sons. He came to the first and said, ‘Son, go out and work in the vineyard today.’ He said in reply, ‘I will not,’ but afterwards changed his mind and went. The man came to the other son and gave the same order. He said in reply, ‘Yes, sir,’ but did not go. Which of the two did his father's will?” They answered, “The first.” Jesus said to them, “Amen, I say to you, tax collectors and prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God before you. When John came to you in the way of righteousness, you did not believe him; but tax collectors and prostitutes did. Yet even when you saw that, you did not later change your minds and believe him.” — Mathew 21:28-32

Tama, ito nga ang Gospel kahapon, September 25, 2005 (Sunday). Late na akong nakapagsimba, 7:00 – 8:00 PM mass sa Sto. Domingo Church. Hands up… ang galing ng priest na nagmisa! Hyper at energetic si Father habang nagmimisa lalo na nang mag-homily na siya... galing talaga niya. Pagkatapos nga ng misa habang palabas ako ng church, I told my self na ang daming UM-ARAY sa homily ni Father… including me hehe.
.
The homily was all about “split life o split personality and changing mind.” Sabi nga ni Father "try mong lumakad na split ang iyong mga paa." Ang hirap nga naman nun di ba.
.
Yeah its true na there are some times na nabubuhay tayo sa “split life o split personality,” wherein we do bad things and after that, good things naman, paulit-ulit. I mean nagkasala ka, nagsimba at humingi ng tawad… the next ganu’n ulit, inulit ‘yung kasalanan at nagsimba at humingi ng tawad which is ‘di nga naman tama… it should be… once na nagkasala at hiningi ng tawad… do your best na ‘wag na itong maulit pa. Although medyo mahirap gawin na ‘wag ng umulit sa nagawang ‘di tama o masama lalo na kapag parang ipinag-imbita ka ng “pitong demonyo” para buwisitin ang araw mo, ano pa nga ba ang magagawa mo kundi ang umulit na makagawa ng ‘di tama. tsk tsk tsk
.
Split ang buhay o personality in a way na, people perceived you as a religious person but on the other hand… may ginagawa ka palang hindi maganda, nanloloko ka, nanggagago ng kapwa and some other bad stuffs. Naalala ko tuloy ang kuwento ng ale na nagro-rosario na nakaluhod, nakapikit at hawak-hawak pa ang rosario malamit sa dibdib, pero nang kalabitin ng isang batang pulubi, namutakti sa bibig ng ale na nagro-rosario ang iba’t ibang klase ng mura at pagkatapos magmura, sabay pikit at taimtim na namang mananalangin. Split… tyring to do good things but at the same time gumagawa ng masama sa kapwa. You’re trying na palaguin ang relasyon mo sa Diyos pero ang relasyon mo sa iyong kapwa ‘di mo mapagtibay… split 'di ba?
.
Tinuran din ng Pari ang katotohanan na "it doesn’t mean na dahil ginagawa ng marami ay tama na!" We’re living in a “liberated world” somehow, open at engage na ‘yung ibang teens sa premarital sex… Split life… Mali ‘yun, pero dahil sa ginagawa ng marami, akala ay okay lang na gawin. Nagiging split ang buhay dahil sa halip na gawin lang ‘yung tama, nadadala ang ating sarili na gawin ang ginagawa ng nakararami na mali. Hindi nagmi-meet ‘yung tama na dapat sanang gawin sa mismong ginagawa … dapat ito ang tama, so ito ang dapat gawin... pero hindi ganu'n ang nangyayari kaya nagiging split ang buhay.
.
Later part ng homily ni Father, natahimik ako lalo at nakinig dahil about changing mind naman ang ipinaliliwanag niya. I admit na mabilis akong magbago ng desisyon pagdating sa ibang bagay, lalo na kapag ‘di talaga ako sure sa magigiresulta ng desisyon ko and because of this, sinasabi ng iba na “nakakainis ako dahil pabagu-bago ng isip.” Sa homily ni Father sabi niya “hindi masamang bumawi ng minsang nasabi lalo na kung hindi ito magbubunga ng maganda.” After hearing this at ang kasunod na paliwanag ni Father, I told my self it’s okay lang naman ang bumawi lalo na kapag ‘di maganda ang magiging resulta ng naunang desisyon. ‘Di baleng mainis 'yung iba sa'yo na ‘di gets ang dahilan mo kung bakit mo ito nagawa (magbago bigla ng desisyon), oks lang, at least maganda ang naidulot sa’yo ng bigla mong pagbabago ng isip. But ang main point ni Father ay ‘yung kapag may nagawa o nasabi kang masama sa iyong kapwa tama lang na bawiin mo ito. Kapag nasaktan mo siya… mag-sorry ka!
.
Ang haba at ang ganda talaga ng misa last Sunday… for me... lucky ang mga nakapagsimba nung oras na ‘yun tulad ko, alam nyo ba na bago ako magsimba nang oras na 'yun ay masasabi kong "split" din ako... kaya somehow… nakapagsabi rin ako ng “ouch” habang nagho-homily si Father at 'yung homily or 'yung buong mass help me up to figure out things na nangyayari sa akin. :D

God bless!

THE NAME

I hate to hear the name
For it’s like a thunder that runs thru my veins
Deep down my soul it gives me pain
And tears in my eyes like rain
.
I hate to see the name
For it’s like a ray that strikes my eyes
Squeeze my soul till I can’t breathe
And burst my spirit into weariness
.
Let me run where the sun shines
And leave that name in the midst of night
The name that breaks my heart
And leave me in despair

MINSAN KANG NAGING BATA


Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are!
.
When the blazing sun is gone
When he nothing shines upon
Then you show your little light
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are!
.
Then the traveler in the dark
Thanks you for your tiny spark;
He could not see which way to go,
If you did not twinkle so.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are!
.
In the dark blue sky you keep
While you thro' my window peep
And you never shut your eye
Till the sun is in the sky
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are!

WHAT DO WE MEAN?

.
What do we mean to each other,
Am I friend, am I lover,
Is it over now?
Do you love me still,
Or do you just mean well?

PONDER THE SONG AND PICTURE


WHAT'S FOREVER FOR
.
I've been looking at people
And how they change with the times
And lately all I've been seeing are people
Throwing love away and losing their minds
.
Or maybe it's me that's gone crazy
'Cause I can't understand why
All these lovers keep hurting each other
When good love is so hard to come by
.
So what's the glory in living
Doesn't anybody ever stay together anymore
And if love never lasts forever
Tell me what's forever for
.
I've been listening to people
And they say love is the key
And it's not my way to let them lead me astray
It's only that I want to believe
.
But I see love-hungry people
Trying their best to survive
While in their hands is a dying romance
And they're not even trying to keep it alive
.
So what's the glory in living
Doesn't anybody ever stay together anymore
And if love never lasts forever
Tell me what's forever for
.

FOR IT IS SUNDAY

Ponder this one guys... it makes sense! Enjoy!
.
For it is Sunday, begin your day with God and family. Be happy and enjoy what you have… your work, material stuffs and most of all, your love ones.
Do your duty with happiness... don't forget to put a smile in your face while doing your task... it helps a lot to make things more lighter.
Be kind to everybody, even with your enemy. Be cheerful, agreeable, caring and be considerate and to make your day more beautiful… look for the bright side of things.
Praise people for what they do and do not criticize them for what they cannot do.
If someone or somebody does something stupid, forgive and forget… though it is hard… c’mon, you can do it!
Friend… if you do these things… it might turn your day and even your whole week into a nice and a brighter one!

IT'S SO NICE TO BE HAPPY

"Do not keep the alabaster box of your love and friendship sealed up until your friends are dead. Fill their lives with sweetness. Speak approving, cheering words while their ears can hear them, and while their hearts can be thrilled and made happier. The kind things you mean to say when they are gone, say before they go." George William Childs

WHEN IT'S OVER

IT’S OVER! August was over… and I’m over too! Now it’s time to look forward for a better September!
Last night, I made a letter, a letter for myself and for a name, though there’s no chance for this individual to read my note. I just want to express what’s inside me and what I do really feel.
Well… It’s over; it’s time to make a brandnew days… I’m done with the restless matters! Done with the stuffs that made me feel special even for a short period of time and also, I’m done with the stuffs that brought tears into my eyes.
Less expection, less disappointment! Less expection now for some things and for someone… I’m out of it… worn-out! I did my part to put things back on the right track… but I failed! It's much better now to lock it up and believe with the saying "Time heals all wounds!"
Anyway, it doesn’t end there, for I have the whole world in my hand. Still a long way to run for my life. Now… it’s time for me to spread my wings once again… free from yesterday’s cage! For tomorrow is September… time to look up and bring back the smile that once fade. For I have my shoes once again, ready to walk forward and leave the burden of the times of yore!
