hay, sa wakas, nakapagblog na rin... weeks na rin ang nakalipas since the last time a blogged. kating-kati na finger tips ko to blog...
...
ano ipopost ko? hehe... wala lang, gusto ko lang magpost. sige... let's see... what shall I post here?
...
o sige. updates with what's happening to me in academics. so far... so tired. ewan ko lang. wala pa kasi kami masyado naaacomplish. yung sport psych namin, somehow, medyo umuusad na. naka 6.5 hours na kami dito sa tennis team. naku, bale... mga 25-30 hours nalang ang kulang namin... naku naman... i just pray na maging maayos na ito. at sana'y magcooperate sila di tulad dun sa nakaraang team... sabagay, naka back-up samin si ma'am glody, dahil si ma'am glody mismo ang humahandle sa kanila. they're planning to have a team building pero di pa sure ang date. it's either this coming weekend or first week ng january. once na makasama kami dun, kahit isang araw lang, malaki ng bulk ng hours yun... 24! hay... sana matuloy. pero kung sa first week of january pa, baka tapos na rin yung kulang naming hours bago pa sila makapag-team building. anyways...
...
sa thesis naman. mejo pasaway dswd these days, pero kanina, finally, naka-usap ko na rin yung taong dapat naming kausapin. so later sa bahay, kailangan naming gumawa ng program, chart ng days and everythinng... para madala rin namin tomorrow sa dswd ang mga important papers at para mabigyan na kami ng permit. ayos.
...
sa clincial... yikes, wala pa rin kaming institution. pumunta na kami sa lourdes hospital, ust hospital, huspicio (tama ba spelling?), at uerm. lahat wala. hindi tumatanggap, sarado, maraming requirements na hindi mameet at marami pang mga kadahilanan. ano pa ba ang puwede naming hospital or institution na puwede pasukan? sana maka-kita na sina tiff ngayon...
...
natutuwa naman ako at kaming plp ang naging magkaka-grupo sa thesis, clinical, at sportpsych. we divided the responsibilities among us. nag-assign kami ng magmamanage sa bawat course. bale sa thesis, kami ni orange. sa clinical, sina tiff at veron. sa sportspych, gladys and carla. teka... saan si jaq? kung saan kailangan ng tulong! hayun. but that doesn't mean na kanya kanya na kami. may mga naka-assign lang magmanage. like kung sino ang kakausap sa dswd, sa hospitals, at sa mga athletes. at kung sino din ang mag-aayos ng mga important papers. o diba? mas madali ang buhay kung magtutulungan. :)
...
bukod pa sa academics, ang dami ring responsibilities sa church. i'm a part of our creative arts ministry team kaya sa amin naka-toka ang photo gallery na pinaplano nilang itayo dun sa church, at saka yung weekly newsletter. kaya pag-weekend, nakatutok ako sa minisitry.
...
hay... amidst all these pressures, responsibilities, stress, God still remains faithful in giving new abundant grace and sweet mercies every single day. He remains faithful in replenishing my strength within. physically, emotionally, mentally, and most of all, spiritually...
...
hm... right now, something is really bugging my mind. and it starts bugging my heart as well. siguro sometime, mapopost ko rin to dito. but right now, i'm still dealing with it. Thank God because He gave me an ate who's always willing to lend a shoulder and an ear... thanks ate di! :)
...
o siya, nagrereklamo na 'tong si gladys. ang haba na naman ng post ko daw. salamat sa inyong pagbabasa. yan ang gusto ko sa inyo eh. :)

- sana talagang mapreserve ang mga youth ngayon para sa darating na last days.
- ilang taon kaya ako pagdating ni Lord?
- how glorious would it be?
- magkaka-apo pa ba ako? or dadating na si Lord bago pa mangyari yun?
- may kutob ako na hindi ko na aabutan ang senior-citizen days ko dahil malamang, dumating na si Lord nun. i don't know. it's just a hunch.
- kelan kaya ako unang makakapag-share ng good news?
- kelan kaya ako unang makakapag-lead ng sinner's prayer?
- magmimission kaya ako sa ibang bansa?
- i wonder... kelan kaya ulit kami magpapansinan ni... "___" (ate di, you know who.)

- but... would that person want to be my friend? don't know...
- makakakita pa ba ako ng snow (sheesh, ang babaw.)
- makakapag bake kaya ako ng cake, cookies, and sweet stuff pag mom narin ako?
- how does it feel to be mom?
- how does it feel to see your first kid wrapped in bundle of white cloth?
- what else can i ask...?

Youth Retreat 2005
Hay naku... paano ko ba ito sisimulan...? Basta, all I can say is THANK YOU, LORD for all your faithfulness and your sweet mercies that You never withhold from us. Our recent youth retreat was such a blast! Our experience with the Lord in ZMI Antipolo was like a pool of refreshing cold water that poured out from the heavens and washed over us... followed by a warm and tight hug from our Lord's gentle arms... (uy, in-english ko lang yung line sa story ng group namin! hehe...)
This year's theme of our retreat is Waiting, Wanting, and Renewed. Isaiah 40:30-31 says,
"Even youths grow tired and become weary, and yough men will stumble and fall. Yet the strength of those who wait with hope in the Lord will be renewed. They will soar on wings like eagles. They will run and won't become weary. They will walk and won't grow tired."
This verse truly spoke to me, and I believe, to all of us in the retreat. Especially today, with all the stress and crisis of this world... even the energetic youth like us needs to rest. Because everything around us just make us very very tired. Physically, emotinally, mentally... and most especially, spiritually. Para sa akin, mapagod na ako at lahat-lahat, huwag lang ang spirit ko. Dahil once na mapagod ito, that would be very very dangerous.
I'm very grateful for this oppurtunity na binigay sa amin ni Lord para makapag wait sa Kanya. Indeed, the fire that we have brought home with us is worth the wait. And all our experiences with the Lord during that entire retreat will never equal any worldly experience. Especially our praise and worship... when we kneeled down before the Lord and just cried... pouring all our tears as we humble ourselves to the God... how I wish we never went home... if we can only stay in the presence of the Lord forever. But of course, the day would surely come when all overcomers and all who have faithfully run the race for the Lord, would forever worship God...
Yung mga activities rin na ginawa namin ay nakakatuwa. Giyera patani sa gitna ng mga makakating talahib at iba pang mga games, treasure hunting, where I learned to really seek diligently. (Kasi, yung group namin ang nauna sa spot ng treasure, pero hindi pa namin siya nakita dahil hindi kami nagseek diligently. Kaya yung ibang group ang nakakuha. But it's okay. We got our lesson. :) Then, yung isang "group dynamics" na ginawa namin. Ano ba tawag dun? Hindi ko alam eh. Anyways... And of course, yung story na ginawa namin for our group.
Nakakabless kapag naririnig ko yung mga experiences ng mga youth with this retreat. They were really renewed. Before the retreat, hindi pa nga namin sure kung marami ang makakasama. But then, God is so gracious. He gave provisions para makasama ang marami sa retreat na ito. And just like what I've said earlier, everything is worth the wait. I just pray that the fire that's once again ignited in hearts of our youth will continue to burn fervently for the Lord... and will never die out.
I know that these words will never be enough to describe our awesome experience with the Lord during that short 3 day retreat in Antipolo. If I can only bring you all to the past and just show you how it went... hay...
Maglalagay rin ako ng pix namin. Wala pa kasi akong copy eh. Once na nakuha ko, i'll post it here. :)
God bless you all!
Soar on wings, eagles!
