Blog # 15: Ano ren ang imong na-buwat para sa Gin'o?

Medyo natameme ako kayna sa mass kaena sa cathedral muro agpakeman si Father sa tanan. Anang pakiman kung "ano ren ang imong na-buwat para sa Gin'o?".


Maski sino ra siguro ang pakiman sa seled y saka minuto o segundo medyo makukurean dang sabaten ang pakeman na dato.


Sa akeng pagmumuni-muni naisip ko ra na sa bawat adlaw matama kitang nabubuwat - kaesan tama o kabay da mali. Pero ang mamaeng importante ikaw nabubwe sa tama - mas matama kang nabubuwat na matinlo kaysa marimo.

Ang Gin'o ing tatawan kita y 365 days o 1 year, dapat manda may b'waten kitang tama sa ateng sadele, sa ateng pamilya, sa ateng masigkataw at pati kanana.


Salamat Gin'o. =)

Novena to St. Anthony de Padua (Finding lost things)

St. Anthony of Padua is invoked thousands (maybe millions!) of times daily to help find items that have been lost. This novena, or nine-day prayer, to find a lost article reminds us as well that the most important goods are spiritual.

Novena to Saint Anthony to Find a Lost Article

St. Anthony, perfect imitator of Jesus, who received from God the special power of restoring lost things, grant that I may find [name the item] which has been lost. At least restore to me peace and tranquility of mind, the loss of which has afflicted me even more than my material loss. To this favor, I ask another of you: that I may always remain in possession of the true good that is God. Let me rather lose all things than lose God, my supreme good. Let me never suffer the loss of my greatest treasure, eternal life with God. Amen.

Thank you for granting my wish! To God be the glory... =)

Blog # 14: Murphy's Law

"If that guy has any way of making a mistake, he will" -- original phrasing by Edward A. Murphy, Jr. according to George Nichols.



Sometimes unconsciously we're making mistakes just to satisfy our cravings. But again it is somewhat inspiring because it's like saying if there's a will there is a way - so positive, indeed! We must not dwell in the negative but look for the way- the way to positivism.

Shared Story: The Story of Andoy

Take time to read and to share with your friends. 

N.B.: I do not own this story. I just wanna share this to everybody because of its thoughts/lessons.

Somewhere in Milaor, Camarines Sur, there lived a fourth grader boy who would follow this route to school everyday: He has to cross the rugged plains and cross the dangerous highway where vehicles are recklessly driving to and from.

Once past this highway, the boy would take a short cut, passing by the Church every morning just to say Hi to God, and faithfully say his, "Magandang umaga po" in Bicol dialect. He was faithfully being watched by a Priest who was happy to find innocence so uplifting in the morning,

"Kamusta, Andoy? Papasok ka na?"

"Opo padre ... "he would flash his innocent grin, the priest would be touched. He was so concerned that one day he talked to Andoy.

"From school...", he advised "Do not cross the highway, you can pass through the Church and I can accompany you to the other side of the road...that way I can see that you are home safe...."

"Thank you father ... "

"Why don't you go home ... why do you stay in this church right after school?"

"I just want to say 'Hi' to my friend, God," and the priest would leave the boy to spend time beside the altar, talking to himself, but the priest was hiding behind the altar to listen to what this boy has to say to his heavenly FATHER.

"You know my math exam was pretty bad today, but I did not cheat although my seatmate is bullying me for notes... I ate one cracker and drank my water, Itay had a bad season and all I can eat is this cracker.
Thank you for this! I saw a poor kitten who was hungry and I know how he feels so I gave my last cracker to him ... funny but I am not that hungry.

Look, this is my last pair of slippers ...I may have to walk barefoot next week, you see this is about to be broken... but it is okay....at least I am still going to school.... Some say we will have a hard season this month, some of my classmates have already stopped going to school .... please help them get to school again, please God?

....Oh, you know, Inay hit me again, it is painful, but I know this pain will pass away, at least I still have a mother.... God, you want to see my bruises? I know you can heal them.... Here... here and .... oh ...blood ....I guess you knew about this one huh? Please don't be mad at Inay, she is just tired and she worries for the food in our table and my schooling that is why she hits us....Oh, I think I am in love ... there's this pretty girl in my class, her name is Anita ... do you think she will like me? Anyway, at least I know you will always like me, I don't have to be anybody just to please you, you are my very best friend! Hey your birthday is two days from now!!! Aren't you excited? I am! Wait till you see, I have a gift for you . but it is a surprise! I hope you will like it! Oooops, I have to go ..." then he stood up and calls out, "Padre, padre, I am finished talking to my friend...you can accompany me to the other side of the road now."

This routine happens everyday. Andoy never fails. Father Agaton shares this every Sunday to the people in his church because he has not seen a very pure faith and trust in God, a very positive look at negative situations.

One Christmas day, Father Agaton was sick so he could not make it in the Church, he was sent to the hospital. The Church was left to 4 manangs who would chant the rosary in 1000 miles per hour, would not smile and would always find fault in what you do, they were also very well versed in cursing if you irritate them! They were kneeling, saying their kilometric rosary when Andoy, coming from his Christmas party,playfully dashed in.
"Hello God! I ......" "P----!! (a curse) bata ka!! Alam mo nang may nagdadasal!! Alis!!"

Poor Andoy was so terrified, "Where's Father Agaton? He is supposed to help me cross the street ... and to be able to cross the street I will have to pass by the back door of this church .not only that, I have to greet Jesus. It is His birthday, I have a gift right here....

"Just as he was about to get the gift out of his shirt, the manang pulled his shirt and threw him out of the church. "Susmaryosep!!! (does the sign of the cross fervently) Alis kang bata ka, kung hindi matatamaan ka!!!"

So the boy had no choice but to cross the dangerous side of the road in front of the church. He crossed. A fast moving bus came in.

There was a blind curve. The boy was protecting his gift inside his shirt, so he was not looking. There was so little time. Andoy died on the spot. A lot of people crowded the poor boy, the body of a lifeless young boy ...

Suddenly, out of nowhere a tall man in a pure white shirt and pants, a face so mild and gentle, but with eyes full of tears... He came and carried the boy in His arms. He was crying. Curious bystanders nudged the man in white, and asked, "Excuse me sir, are you related to this child? Do you know this child?"

The man in white, His face mourning and in agony, looked up and answered,
"He was my best friend . " was all he said. He took the badly wrapped gift in the bloody chest of the lifeless boy, and placed it near His heart.

He stood up and carried the boy away and they both disappeared in sight.
The crowd was curious ...

On Christmas Eve, Father Agaton learned of the shocking news. He visited the house, and wanted to verify about the man in white. He consulted the parents of Andoy.

"How did you know that your son died?"

"A man in white brought him here." sobbed the mother. "What did he say?"

The father answered, "He did not say anything. He was mourning. We do not know him and yet he was very lonely about our son's death, as if he knew our son very well. But there was something peaceful and unexplainable about him.

He gave me my son, and then he smiled peacefully. He brushed my son's hair away from his face and kissed him on his forehead, then he whispered something..."

"What did he say?"

"He said to my boy..." the father began, "Thank you for the gift .... I will see you soon ... you will be with me..." and the father of the boy continued, "and you know for a while, it felt so wonderful ... I cried, but I do not know why....all I know is I cried tears of joy ...


I could not explain it, Father, but when that man left, something peaceful came over me, I felt a deep sense of love inside ... I could not explain the joy in my heart, I knew my boy is in heaven now but...tell me, Father, who is this man that my son talks to everyday in your church, you should know because you are always there ... except at the time of his death ......"Father Agaton suddenly felt the tears welling in his eyes, with trembling knees, he murmurred, " ... He was talking to no one ......but .. GOD...."

***God's love is unconditional and we cannot measure it. We just need to appreciate life. Life is a gift from above.***

Blog # 11: Ang Guegma

To achieve self-actualization kailangan mong malampasan 'eto according to Abraham Maslow. Pero tingin mo meron ka ba nito?

1. Friendship - check
2. Family - check
3. Sexual Intimacy - not yet

It takes time, sabi nga nila. Maraming mga bagay ang kailangan munang ipriority tulad ng career at opportunities na darating sa'yo.


Now let's take a look to Erik Erikson's Psychosocial development:


Age: Young Adulthood -- 19 to 40 years
Conflict: Intimacy vs. Isolation
Important Event: Love relationships

Stage Six, Young Adulthood: Intimacy Versus Isolation. Individual experiences a need to achieve an essential quality of intimacy (an ability to care about others and to share experiences with them)in his or her life. After establishing a stable identity, a person is prepared to share meaningful love or deep friendship with others. 75% of college-age men and women rank a good marriage and family life as their primary adult goal (Bachman & Johnson, 1979). And yet, marriage or sexual involvement is no guarantee that intimacy will prevail: Many adult relationships remain superficial and unfulfilling. Failure to establish intimacy with others leads to a deep sense of isolation. The person feels alone and uncared for in life. This circumstance often sets the stage for later difficulties.

The need for intimacy - to care and be cared is indeed a need. Remember you cannot give what you cannot have.

I'm still in this part of the stage and I have lot of chances to experience to love and be love. It is just part of waiting for the right person and grabbing the opportunity to love her.

Remember, that you have many time - time for everything and yes, true love waits.

Blog # 9 OCPD: Are you one of us?

Obsessive-Compulsive personality disorder is a disorder which differs from OCD or Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Mainly OCPD, are those who are bound to be perfectionists while persons with OCD put themselves on excessive rituals.


Here's a video I found at Youtube to have a better understanding before reading my reactions/thoughts below.

I created my own checklist basing it from PsychCentral:

• Is preoccupied with details, rules, lists, order, organization, or schedules to the extent that the major point of the activity is lost*
• Shows perfectionism that interferes with task completion (e.g., is unable to complete a project because his or her own overly strict standards are not met)
• Is excessively devoted to work and productivity to the exclusion of leisure activities and friendships (not accounted for by obvious economic necessity)
• Is overconscientious, scrupulous, and inflexible about matters of morality, ethics, or values (not accounted for by cultural or religious identification)
• Is unable to discard worn-out or worthless objects even when they have no sentimental value
• Is reluctant to delegate tasks or to work with others unless they submit to exactly his or her way of doing things*
• Adopts a miserly spending style toward both self and others; money is viewed as something to be hoarded for future catastrophes
• Shows significant rigidity and stubbornness*

*Rarely

Those sentences which I emphasized (bold) are those who I feel are obviously mine. 

These symptoms started to happened to me at the age of 17 or 18 years old and it was developed when I was at my toilet training age.


But at least at my 17th/18th year I knew and understood myself.


It's sometimes annoying to other people and of course (sometimes even to my self).

But through time, I realized that I know how to control this mild disorder of mine so it doesn't seem to be a problem to me. I got used to the criticisms of other people. And oh yes, I'm proud of this disorder because through this Cluster C Personality Disorder, I excelled in the things that I loved and love to do.


God bless!

Hope springs eternal! 

In every troubled days, we must remember that there is hope. 

Blog # 8: Words of Steve Jobs

“Innovation comes from people meeting up in the hallways or calling each other at 10:30 at night with a new idea, or because they realized something that shoots holes in how we've been thinking about a problem. It's ad hoc meetings of six people called by someone who thinks he has figured out the coolest new thing ever and who wants to know what other people think of his idea. And it comes from saying no to 1,000 things to make sure we don't get on the wrong track or try to do too much. We're always thinking about new markets we could enter, but it's only by saying no that you can concentrate on the things that are really important."

Blog # 7: Living our dreams

"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma -- which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice."


 Reflect on this quote by the famous Steve Jobs. Sometimes you will come to a point of realizing - that life's somewhat a routine and appreciating its beauty is just lacking. Maybe because you are not living for the right reason or far from what you passionately want. In life you can't please everyone to like or appreciate you the way you want to be appreciated. But the mere fact, you have your own dream, personality, and unique existence - God wants us to find it in His most wonderful way.


Live for a cause and when you are hearing negative comments from other people prove them wrong and be a successful individual from your own hard work.
