24..24..24..24 I can't stop counting on it and I'm very blessed to experience the moment of being 24. Praise God at this age I am still able to sing, to dance, to laugh, to smile, to hope, to "wait" and to remember as always God's promise for me that "His will prevails". I doubted, I feared many times, I even asked God where could be these choices leading me? But God answered me in Proverbs 3:5 to trust in Him with all of my heart.

Honestly, when I got home my Lolo asked me a kinda personal yet "heart issue" question, "Are you a lesbian"? hahaha, no way! I am a certified woman! I am just waiting for God's time and I believe God will never allow me to be single a day longer than He planned.

Then Lolo continued; I want to see you with someone, loving God as you do. Its also my prayer..someone who will boost my faith and who will stand by me. Should I think I've found him years ago or he is nowhere to be found..but but God said "wait for it" it will surely come in my time and my God is a promise-keeping God.

I am the person who would want to keep my life issues private, and just keep moving. I hate being teased and so being laughed and scrutinized, because the moment I am sure that he is the one, then surely I won't set back, instead fight for it and I'm just so excited, even so it'll take  years from now. I am praying that he will remain faithful and trust the Lord that I am worth his waiting.

So corny? yes..and I hate writing about this..but if it will bless my sisters in Christ, my classmates, friends and even inspire people..and so be it. I am striving to live a life of purity and wholeness for in God's time there is perfection.

I am imperfect. I am a sinner. But I have accepted Christ to rule over me and lead my way. To "him" whoever you are, remember God's promise for it will never fail you in finding me. I've been praying for you and so please remain humble and persistent, doing things for love and compassion. I trust the Lord in all these.

To my Lolo, I will always be faithful to what you said "Find him" and "be happy in Christ".

Truly,

I know in some way why God allowed me to live, He wants me to experience genuine love ^_^

The week has been so tiring. It was full of troubles at work and conflicts inside and out. As I rode the bus, I saw these precious little kids in the sidewalk begging for "money, food" or just anything  they wanted to get from you. In an instant, most of us would give them a penny. I have walked along streets and walkways and find different faces of people: kids to elders, moms to sick-stricken children, all of them wanted to have something they do not have.

LOVE. The world is so big in our eyes for us to help them all, but why not try something you may never have tried before? As a lesson of the never ending walk, I started to buy "extra candies and  foods" stored  in  my bag, so that whenever I am faced with the same situation again, I'll be able to give something. It's not because you want to be a hero, but because I want to make them feel that they are loved and treasured. Our circumstances are better than them, and its useless if we just try to say and put other people to blame. You and me are important salts in this universe, an act of love given freely will be much appreciated if given generously. Friends, let us do it one day at a time, and surely, our nation will be better.

PRAY. When we have nothing to share, we are unfulfilled. The key is to pray for these people and make them count in your life. You are fortunate to have friends who prays for you..but how about them? even a simple gesture of care will surely leave a mark. I believe that I am born to bless others, because in the first place, GOD blessed me with family, friends and life, that others may not have or enjoyed to have.

CARE. It's never hard to care for people. Simple smile, simple "hi" and "hello" is a sign of respect and honor to their existence. I can't help myself but help people realized how fortunate they are for having so many people to talk to and laugh with while others do not have. The street children, the abandoned, the disabled, the misunderstood, the mislabeled..they are all part of our circle. They exists because SOMEONE up above is so great enough to have this kind of disparities but with POSSIBILITIES for solution and change. I may be one, but I can so something one day at a time.

DECIDE. It's not about HOPING that someday, may all people have peace, make love and achieve future perfectly. It is about DECIDING today that all of our plans will turn into reality. I am never perfect. I am so frail and distorted, yet I am decided to follow and make things happen by the will and plan of my Father. I am useless if I'm not made to work for others. You do not work for yourself alone right? because YOU are a human being, made to be in the complex world of uncertainties, meeting and challenging your existence. Decide to share and give today, let your heart pour out for others.

MOVE ON. Do not let your past ruin your today. Make peace and shower them with your blessings. Win more souls and friends everyday. Pray and let them know that you care. You are not alone in this strange adventure. You are special and many more great things are ahead of you. Get ready and do not miss the opportunity to sail and see more in life. Have the capacity to live as if you are NEW and REFRESHED each and everyday.

YOU are SPECIAL and LOVED. In any way you say it, SOMEONE..SOMEBODY loves you. You are priceless in any circumstance as you make the world better. Someday, I want to die knowing that I have fulfilled my purpose in this life, it maybe not too great and admirable..but something WORTH my stay. For every people who listened, laughed, hated, loved and goes on and on with me..YOU are deeply appreciated because YOUR time spent with me, is YOUR very life and it will never be the same again.

From the bottom of my Inner being. SUPERB thank you for making my stay a wonderful journey. The earth is a journey and it will always be one of the most wonderful memory. Sail and bless!

Happy season of giving and love!

I decide to make it happen,

YON

What Happened to Me?

 Early this rainy season I used not to eat alot because of my dooming appetite. Guess what?! I can't help myself but eat and eat and eat and eat all along. Imagine me riding a bus going home, with a Se-Lo-Feyn containing a half or one kilo of lansones/rambutan and other familiar foods while holding on my poise (hahaha). Such an embarassing moment sometimes especially when I am seated with "formal" people and they kept looking at me or trying to stare at me.

However, at this very moment I'm craving for another exotic food dish na sikat kaayo sa Philippines. I am about to text my tita to get bagoong for me and season it with kamatis or plain bulad with rice-unlimited! yahoo another food trip later, but I'll arrive home late kc may class pa.

One time, Two times and now..I want it all the time!  The Mr. Kabab in UP-Techno Hub a two-thumbs up! I wanna eat there over and over again, the special chelo kebab and the yogurt drink mesmerized my tummy. I love him-Mr.Kabab!

Now, I know I'll gain more and more weight everyday, pambawi sa nawala,hehehe. See you all and hope to dine with you!
