When God Speaks in Darkness


What do we usually feel if we are in the dark? WE are scared? YES. We are not comfortable? YES. We feel like someone is looking at us? YES. I actually answered that question personally. My greatest fear is DARKNESS. I just don't want to be in darkness. and YES. I pray whenever I am in the dark, but I AM STILL AFRAID.
I personally love lights and sounds that is running coz of electricity. I got BV when electricity is out. I thought that there is no life when there is no light. BUT I'M WRONG.
It's been a month of preparation, month of long thinking of how are we going to organize the YDC fellowship that was held last Sunday, 09.26.10. Since I am appointed to be lead and organize the Music team, I did my best to make it perfect, to make it well sounded. I've been so sensitive with faults and the teams childish ways. I got mad/bitter easily.
A day before the said event, I am not comfortable with the line-up of songs. It was suppose to be like this.
-Heart of Worship
-Adonai
-One Way
-Hosanna
-With all I am
-How Great is our God
-Magnificent
Then I just changed the plans of not including the underlined songs and change it to only one song, STILL.
My line-up was, I put still on the last song. but.....
Line-up of songs goes like this.
Adonai
Oneway
Heart of Worship
STILL
With all I am
When we are in the midst of the Worship Service, THE ELECTRICITY's OUT! I am shocked and I don't know what to do. But still, the worship leader continued in singing. Upon listening and waiting for the leader's signal if we are gonna stop or not, I realized MANY things.
HEART OF WORSHIP
I did all my best to make the worship service perfect. BUT:( I didn't prepare the team for LIVE,PURE, and TRUE WORSHIP. I cared about the instruments, the music, the tunes, the rhythm, the songs. BUT THE MESSAGE THAT WE HAVE TO TELL THROUGH WORSHIP was not in our/my heart. When we worship, it's not our mind to set but our heart. It's not about the perfectness of the PERFORMANCE, yet it is the perfectness of your heart for worship.All of us tend to think that when we join the worship service, it means we WORSHIP. We close our eyes, but, We are not really doing the TRUE worship.
And I think that's why God tested our heart when the time that the electricity's out.
STILL
The whole song of still. We sang it with no instruments. It's Hot and dark. We are confused and shocked. But STILL, we continue.
-LESSON-
I am afraid of darkness, I PRAY, yet I AM STILL NERVOUS. What God tells me while we are singing STILL was, "Don't doubt in darkness when God is giving you the light"
One more thing, LIGHT's and POWER was out. It a challenge that God was telling us. "BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD"
Looking back, I said on the first paragraph that it annoys me when the lights and power is out. But the moment we sing STILL, I cried. that's when I realize that, me, and ALL THE PEOPLE INSIDE THE SANCTUARY ARE STILL AND CONTINUED TO PRAISE, TRULY, LIVELY, and PURE.
WITH ALL I AM
The best! LIGHT'S are back. and that's when we all clap with gladness that we overcome the darkness and be STILL for GOD.
With all we are, With all I am, My heart will always BE STILL and know that you are GOD.
God is truly working on everyone's life. It's been exactly a year ago after that ONDOY Typhoon. And the amazing fact was, STILL was an anthem when ONDOY strikes our country.
I know that God is smiling so much that He has seen His children worship Him with the Heart of Worship, With all they are. And because, even the oceanic PROBLEMS rise, and the thunders that roars and keeps on destroying us, floods of trials came, GOD will always be the KING above all. AND WE WILL SOAR WITH HIM, UPON THE STORMS in our life.
From now on, DARKNESS WILL NEVER EXIST. Co'z I know that there's GOD who will give me HIS light. Co'z I know that GOD SPEAKS IN DARKNESS.
Be Blessed and Be a Blessing.
God Bless!

Carlo Lazerna


Being a fan is ok. but being a fanfriend is far more better. Before, I am already supporting artist like Sam Concepcion, but I never talked to him personally. I've seen him in person but I never get near to him.

This time,I had a friend who will be an artist, Caleb Santos. Even before he become a part of VIVA RECORDS, me and my cousins admire him because of his charmis face and sweet voice. Now, a news came that he'll be a part of a MALE GROUP. I know about it like a year ago because my cousin is updating me about Caleb. I didn't know yet about that male group so i keep on searching until Caleb tagged me to a photo greeting me MERRY CHRISTMAS. In that photo was the said male group. Who really captures my eyes was Meljohn Magno. I don't know why. I am so happy that I can talk to him through Facebook.

I also added the other members of XLR8. I sent a message to one of them,Carlo Lazerna. Luckily, He urgently replied to me, there, we talked privately. I just loved it when we talked. It's like I already know him. One day, I discovered a chatbox. I went there but sadly, no one's there except for another fan. I stayed the for 1 hour talking to that another fan. Then Kiko Ramos showed up, then Caleb, and another was Carlo Lazerna. I didn't noticed how it started when we started talking to each other. We even had our name, CARLZELLE! LOL! I added him up at YM and I was shocked when he called me. My knees are really shaking at that moment. I even satyed up until 2:00 AM just to continue talking to him. Now, he stands out for me among the other members of XLR8. For he is...*augh* I really can't help it but visit his page, leave some message on his YM before logging out, I even mention him on my status, created a fanpage for him, recorded a song for him, and this, I wrote an article with his name as title.

I will never ever forget the closeness we had. All I want now is to see him in person and have a picture with him and be more closer to him. Carlo Lazerna deserve to be supported.

Carlo Lazerna, I hope you won't forget me, just like I always tell you. Zelle is here! Your No. 1 FANFRIEND!
Much LOVE! <3>

TRUST


haiz...saya talaga maglingkod sa Lord. Trust in Him and He will not let you be in harm.

Story:(Not a true story, i just read it from my cp, but it is meaningful)

May isang girl na hatinggabi na umuwi ng solo dahil sa ginawa nilang project. Para maging mabilis ang pauwi niya, dumaan siya sa shortcut na daan. Sa kanto ng kalsada ay may dalawang lalaki na tila nagaabang sa kanya. Natakot siya na baka may mangyari sa kanyang masama. Pero hindi nanguna ang takot sa kanya. nagdasal siya at sinabi niyang, "Panginoon, ipinagkakatiwala ko po sa inyo ang sarili ko. Nawa po gabayan Niyo po ako at huwag Niyo po hahayaan na may mangyari sa aking masama." Sa moment na iyon, ipinagkatiwala niya sa Panginoon ang buhay niya. Lumakad siya ng normal at ng walang takot. Lumampas siya sa mga lalaki at nagpasalamat na walang nangyari sa kanya.Kinabukasan paggising niya, sinabi sa kanya ng kanyang ina na mayroong namatay at narape sa may kanto malapit sa kanila, narape daw ang babae ng magaalauna na ng umaga,nagkataong doon din siya dumaan noong gabing iyon. Dahil kilala pa niya ang mga mukha ng mga lalaking nakita niya noon, pumunta siya sa presinto upang makatulong. At hindi siya nagkamali sa hinala niya na iyon nga ang mga lalaki na pumatay at nangrape sa biktima. Dahil sa pagtataka ng pulis kung bakit kilala ng babae ang mga lalaki, tinanong siya ng pulis, "Dumaan ka din ba doon?", sagot naman siya, "opo, 12 na po ng hating gabi iyon" Sunod naman na tinanong ng pulis ang mga lalaki, "Nauna bang dumaan ang babaeng ito sa babaeng nirape nio?", sagaot naman ng mga lalaki, "Opo". Nagtanong muli ang pulis, "Mahirap man itanong ito, Bakit hindi siya ang pinagtangkaan ninyo gayong siya pala ang naunang dumaan.?" sagot naman na isang lalaki, "Dahil po mayroong siyang kasamang dalawang matangkad na lalaki sa tabi niya."

Lesson:
Sa kahit anong oras, huwag natin aalisin ang tiwala natin sa Panginoon dahil Siya lamang ang makakapagligtas sa atin sa oras ng kapahamakan. Magtiwala tayo sa Kanya ng buong puso at hindi Niya hahayaan na tayo'y mapahamak. Nawa nainspire kayo. Dahil nainspire ako noong mabasa ko ito noon.

I'm lucky I'm in love with my bestfriend!


This is the song that made me realize that I could be falling in love with my best friend. We've been friends for almost 10 years. But as we are growing, physically, emotionally, and spiritually, we used to talk about serious things in life. Love life, future partner, God's Will and everything.

Before, we are always fighting like kids. I'm always shouting at him when we are at high school level because we are seat mates that time and I'm always distracted by him. He make me cry when we are 2nd yr. high school. Comports me and cared even more when we are 3rd year. And that year, I got my first kiss on my cheeks. ;D. We are playing kiss relay during recess, the first one to kiss me is him. I still consider it as a first kiss for he is the first guy to kiss me on my cheeks.

4th Year High School, we became more mature and committed to our studies. We both became busy because we are both aiming for a medal and a high grades. One night, my mom was brought to the hospital. Since then, I became irresponsible for my studies and I got bored in studying, I was eliminated out of the special class, who's taking special subjects, and my exams are far too low from my past exams. But I'm so thankful that one man, my bestfriend, cheer me up and unexpectedly, kissed me on my forehead. That moment, I do not know how would I react with what he do. I just smiled and say, "Thank You!" and I was awarded with a medal during our graduation.

From that day on, I have seen him not just a simple friend, but a super special friend, far beyond a best friend. I am afraid to fall in love with him because I am afraid that we'd be strangers if I'll tell him what I feel about him. I try not to fall in love with him, but as we grow old, we became more closer, and others used to asked if we are in a relationship.

Yes, he is in a relationship, but not with me. I felt a little hurt when I knew that. Though it hurts, I let him tell to me about his girlfriend. And we became more closer because of that, he treated me as his little sister.

Now, we are still BEST FRIENDS, he knew my feelings about him but the good thing about him is, even he knew it, he said, "I will never ever walk away from you for you are my best friends, I don't want to waste our strong foundation of friendship just because of that, I'll let you love me, but let me love you too as my sister and friend."

Now, I'm happier than ever when he said that, Why? at least he never changed and he still loves me as his sister and friend, a relationship that never ends.

Friendship vs. Love. I'd rather choose friendship because it is God's will to be done when it comes to love.


God Bless!

I almost forgotten him ;c

Maybe you'll wonder why I stopped blogging 2 months, it because I'm trying to forget someone, and my blog reminds me of him. Now that I almost forgotten him, maybe it's time for me to go back on the blogosphere. I think I missed many things, especially the posts of my co-bloggers. So how are you all?

I wish I'm still a resident of this site. huhu..;c because maybe you almost forgotten me.

Well that's all.

*My Update:

Enough!

Maybe they don't understand me..
or maybe they really don't have understanding
I wanna forget him
It's them that told me to forget him
Yet it's them that make me remember him
by telling his name
and everything that I've done for him
I'm tired
Tired of hearing his name
Tired of remembering him
Tired of showing to him my love and care
Tired of loving him
And tired of waiting for nothing
I know it's not easy to forget him
but anything will not happen if you don't try it
I realized that I must stop this stupidity
And start being decent
Decent to what I am doing for love
Though it's hard to let it go
I really have to
Because if I will continue to love him
I might see myself picking up the pieces of my broken heart
I thank God because I met that guy
I'll never regret knowing him
Because He still leave a wonderful memory in me

God Bless!

Looking for answers? part 1

1. What is Salvation?
Salvation is deliverance from the penalty, pollution, and power of sin(Rom. 6:14,23; Ti. 3:4-6). It is generally more important than being saved from fire, deep water, illness, or loneliness.

2. What is a sin?
Sin is any thought, word, or deed that either violates or falls short of complete conformity to God's holy laws(Rom. 3:23; Jas. 4:17, I Jn. 3:4). In short, Jesus and His apostles taught that sin is anything that doesn't reflect selfless love for God and others(Mt. 22:34-40).

3. What has God done to provide salvation?
He became a member of the human race in the person of Jesus(Jn. 1:1, 14), lived sinlessly as our substitute to fulfill God's righteous demands(2 Cor. 5:12), suffered and died on the cross to bear the penalty for our sins(Mt. 20:28; Rom. 4:23-25; I Cor. 15:3-4), and rode from the grave to break the power of death and defeats Satan( Acts 2:24; Heb. 2:14-15). In other words, He accepted full responsibility to pay the price for the consequences of our sins.

4. For whom did Christ die?
Jesus died for all the people(Jn. 3:16; 2Cor. 5:14-15), for all have fallen short of their original purpose to know God(Jn. 17:3), to glorify Him(I Cor. 10:31), and to enjoy Him forever(Rev. 7:15-17; 21:1-4). Christ died for those who are sinners by nature(Ps. 51:5), disobedient by choice(Rom. 3:23), spiritually dead(Eph. 2:1, 5), unable to please God(Rom. 8:8), and under Hid wrath(Jn. 3:36; Rom. 1:18).

Pray First!

This post is from the devotional book of "Our Daily Bread".
I just want to share this wonderful reading from "Our Daily Bread"

(Read: James 5:13-18)
A Bible teacher asked his class this question:"When you are in trouble, what do you most often do first?" He gave them Three answers from which to choose:
1. Take care of it yourself.
2. Call a friend and talk it over.
3. Ask God for help.

Only two people in the class of 35 indicated that they prayed first. Most of them choose number 1 and several choose number 2. My guess is that these responses are typical.

James wrote, "Os anyone among you suffering? Let him pray"(5:13). Too often, prayer is not our first response to trouble. We may try to figure out solution by ourselves, using our own skills or financial resources, or we may turn to our friends. When none of that helps, we finally get around to praying.

Not only that, we don't pray about the trouble very long or pause to consider what the Bible has to say about our response to our problem. It's amazing, though, what can happen when we take time to pray about the issue and listen to God speak through His Word. He will give us fresh way to look at our situation, and help us to be more Christlike.

James said, "The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much"(5:16). So always PRAY FIRST!

Think it over:
When you face a problem, where do you turn first?
How has prayers helped you during difficult times?
How has God answered your prayers?
*********************************************

Prayer should be our first response---
Not our last resort.

A friend who never leaves

I have this friend
Who's always with me
She's there when I need
She's there and she never leaves

If I have problems
I share it with her
I tell her all my bad feelings
I tell her all, cause she cares

She care to listen
She care to comport me
She care to give advice
She care to love me

And when I cry at my room
She's there listening to me
But when I look at the mirror
I see nobody, just me

I realized that my friend
Is always there
Because it's me
My friend who never leaves

I made this post for those people who's in love with theirselves!
love yourself!!
But love God Above all!
God Bless!

Tati's Words of Love

I have this friend, I call him TATI, he's born Ricardo Legisma III Jr. He's so funny and whenever we talk with each other, he used to tell me weird things just as follows:

When people hurt,
love fades away!
-TATI-
The moon reflects the river
The river reflects the moon
The LOVE is there!
-TATI-
I am the bridge, in the CANAL!
-TATI-
You know, when I saw you, I feel the pain!
-TATI-
Life goes on, it's getting too late! But tomorrow is here!
-TATI-
I'm not the only one for you
But you the only one for me!
-TATI-
You know, time will come, the world will meet to the end!
-TATI-
Don't trash things.
-TATI-
Love is in the air, When you grab it, then You grab it!
-TATI-
Balon ka ba? Na-fall na kasi ako sayo!
-TATI-
Love can move a mountain, but love? Where is the Love?
-TATI-
I have nothing to say, but you know, You know me!
-TATI-
I'll let you swin in the flood of my...endless love!
-TATI-
Midst in the middle of the air!
-TATI-
Nilalang ako ng Diyos para ituwid ang landas mo!
-TATI-

While we are talking, I told him about the weird words he used to tell me
I say: You're giving me sensible thoughts!
Tati says: I'm sensitive!

He's so funny! And I'm so happy to have him as my friend!

Thanks And God Bless!

A Piece of Advice

"Broken Hearted". When someone felt so hurt by someone they really love, they say they were broken. Yes, broken, in terms of feeling so empty and lost. Empty because you feel like you lost a big part in you by loosing the one you love.

When someone is broken hearted, sometimes they commit suicide, if not, they became "EMO", short term for emotional. Then start slashing their wrist. Why do they have to do that? For me, it's losing their everything, losing their selves, their life and their loved ones. And I can't find any reason why do they have to do such things.

Yes, they are broken. It means that they can't be in love. As I see in this generation, "EMO Boys" and "EMO Girls" have their bf's and gf's, and it's called "EMO LOVE". Yet they confirm to us and to their selves that were broken hearted.

There are people who go to places like bars and clubs to enjoy and forget their selves being broken. It's not a good idea for us to drink alcohol and smoke. Not everything is being fixed by drinking and smoking.

It's sad to look at the NEW generation, they're BROKEN! Broken by the attitudes they have now. As a piece of advice, broken hearts are not impossible to be fixed. If every pieces of your heart, big or small, is in GOD. He'll be the one to fix it, not just your heart, also your life. He died for you, so live for Him and nothing will ever break your heart. If you think that the world hates you, remember that the world first hated JESUS. But He never stopped loving us. So don't think that no one loves you, God loves you! and He loves us so much that He gave his only son to forgive our sins. There's no greater love, only the love of God!

"God can heal a broken heart, but He has to have all the pieces"

God Bless!

Misterio part 1

Maraming tanong ang madalas nating sambitin sa tuwong tayo'y umiibig. Halos lahat ng babae ay naghahangad na ibigin sila ng minamahal nila. Pero sa ordinaryong mundo, Maraming misteriyo ang gumugulo sa puso't isipan ng bawat isa. At isa na nga roon si Zelle. Isa siyang ordinariyong College Student na umiidolo sa sikat na artistang si Lester.

Isang araw, napakasaya ni Zelle noong nalaman niyang bibisita ang idolo niyang si Lester sa kanilang eskwelahan. Nagtatalon siya sa tuwa dahil sa unang pagkakataon ay makikita na niya ang idolo niya.. Pagkauwi niya ay ikinuwento niya agad ang balita sa mama niya. "Mama!! Makikita ko na si Lester sa Personal! Pupunta siya sa school namin!", sabi ni zelle. "Weh? Pupunta rin ako! Joke! haha! Hala'y pumasok ka na sa kwarto mo at magbihis na!", pabiro namang sagot ng mama niya.

Pagpasok niya sa kwarto, nagbihis agad siya , kumain ng hapunan at inihanda ang kung ano mang maari niyang ibigay kay Lester. Gumawa siya ng isang sulat. Isinulat niya ito sa papel na ibinigay sa kanya ng matanda noong kaarawan niya. Hindi alam ni Zelle na ang sulat na iyon ay magbabago ng buhay niya. Dahil ang sulat na iyon, sabi ng matandang nagbigay sa kanya, ay nagtutupad ng anumang kahilingan na isulat mo sa papel na iyon. Habang nagsusulat si Zelle, hindi niya namalayang nakatulog na pala siya.

Makalipas ang ilang oras, nagising na ang prinsesa. Naghanda na siya ng kanyang sarili at tumungo na sa eskwelahan. Nang nasa eskwelahan na siya, nakita niya ang idolo niyang si Lester sa tapat ng room kung saan siya pupunta. Lumapit siya kay Lester at sinabi, "Lester?". Habang natulala. Napangiti nalang sa kanya si Lester at biglaang siyang niyakap. Hindi maintindihan ni Zelle ang nangyayari. Tuwang-tuwa siya dahil alam niya ang lalaking iyon ay si Lester. Matapos yakapin siyang yakapin ni Lester, walang masabi si Zelle at natulala nalang.
"Hoy Bhezt! Ano?" sabi ni Lester
"Umm..Huh? Bhezt?"Habang litong-lito sinabi ni Zelle."Kailan pa? Hello? Lester Concepcion? Kilala mo ba ako?"
Si Lester naman na tila nasaktan sa sinabi ni Zelle ay umalis. Tumakbo ito papalayo dahil hindi man lang naalala ni Zelle ang Birthday niya.

Pumasok na si Zelle sa room nila, tulala at hindi maintindihan ang nagyayari sa kanya. Nilapitan niyas si Joyce, Ang alam niyang bhezt niya.
"Hui! Musta ka ba?'
"AbaH? Kinausap mo ata ako Zelle? Di ba Galit ka sa akin?"
"Ano? Hindi! Miss na miss na kita"
"Hahaha! Zelle naman. Kahapon lang ay sobra ang galit ko sa akin nagyon naman sobarng bait mo. Miss ko rin ikaw! ahhuhu!"
"Bakit naman ako naglit sayo?"
"Kasi Zelle, sabi mo nilalandi ko ang bhezt mong si Lester."
"huh? Si Lester? Hello? Noong nasa labas nga siya hindi niyo man lang siya nilapitan para makapgpa-authograph. Di ba artista siya?"
Sabay tinapik ni joyce si Zelle sabay sabing, "Si Lester artista? Kailan pa? haha."
At tuluyan na ngang tinawanan ng lahat si Zelle dahil sa sinabi niya.

Dumating na rin si Lester. Mugto ang mga mata niya at halatang-halata na umiyak siya. Tahimik lang siya at umupo sa dulong upuan at hindi pinansin ang sino man. Makalipas ang ilang minuto, dumating na rin ang teacher nila na may dala pang napakalaking regalo.
"Hey Guys!!!" sigaw ng guro nila. Tahimik lang ang lahat.
"Hoy! ano ba kayo? Lester! Tama na yang drama mo" Samnit ni ralph sa buong klase. Napangiti lamang si Lester at biglang sumugaw ang lahat.
"Happy Birthday President!"
Natuwa si Lester sa narinig. Binigay na ng Guro ang regalo at sinabing.
"Oh yan na! Kinutsaba pa ako ng BESTFRIEND mo!, sabi ng guro.
"Talaga sir?" sagot naman ni Lester."
Sinakyan na lamang ni Zelle ang nagyayari at sinabing, "Ah oo Bhest!...Happy Bithday!"
Tumakbo si Lester papunta kay Zelle. At sa sobrang tuwa nito ay niyakap niya Zelle. Habang ang mga kaklase nila ay humiyaw at tila kinikilig sa kanilang nakikita.

Pagkauwi ay inihatid na ni Lester si Zelle. Bago umalis si Lester sa bahay nina Zelle ay sinabi muna niyang, "Bhesst! Salamat talaga. Ang saya ng Birthday ko. Mahal na mahal kita bhezt. Sana pwede kitang mahalin na higit pa sa kung tayo ngayon." Walang nasabi si Zelle kundi, "Ahh, sige! Uwi ka na po. Gabi na po ehh. Pati hinihintay na ko ni mama. Happy Birthday Ulit."

Isang ngiti ang hindi nawala sa labi ni Zelle. Sabi niya, " Kung panaginip man ito sana hindi na ako magising!"

Habang pauwi naman si Lester ay may nakasalubong siyang matanda. Binigyan nito si Lester ng isang papel at sinabing, " Ang papel na ito ay hindi basta ordinaryong papel lamang dahil lahat ng naisin mo sa buhay ay isulat mo lamang sa papel na iyan at ibibigay nito ang lahat ng iyon. Binigyan na lamang ni Lester ang matanda ng pera at umalis na.

Kinabukasan, sinundo ni Lester si Zelle sa bahay nila. Habang naglalakad sila nabanggit ni Lester ang kaarawan ni Zelle., "bhezt, isang linggo nalang birthday mo na. Maghahanda ka ba?"
Hindi no! wala kaming pera." sagot naman ni Zelle. Masayang naguusap sina Zelle, sinalubong sila ng isang grupo ng mga lalaki at sinabing. "Wow! Balita kayo na raw ahh? Ang saya naman! Pinagpalit na ako ni Zelle". Nainis si Zelle at lumapit sa bukayong lalaki, "Hoy! Ikaw nga! Wag na wag ka nang makakadaan dito. At anong karapatan mong sabihin saking EX kita? Hello! May taste pa naman ako!". Walang nasabi ang mga lalaki at pinadaan na sina Zelle.
"Bhezt ikaw ba yan?" Sambit ni Lester.
"Oo naman.!"
"Bhezt! Lalo ka tuloy nakakinlove!"
"tumugil ka nga diyan! tara na at malelate na tayo."

Pagdating nina Zelle sa room nila, walang tao. Lahat ng kaklase nila ay wala. Naghanap sila at nagtanong kung nasaan sila. Ngunit hindi talaga nila makita. Naghintay na lamang sila sa room. Habang naroon sila nagusap na lamang sila. Biglang nabanggit ni Lester ang panliligaw niya kay Zelle, "Bhezt, pwede ba akong manligaw? Na-develop na kasi ako sayo! Toto iyon Bhezt. Simula bata magBhezt na tayo. Hindi imposibleng mahalin kita!"
Sumagot naman si Zelle habang tawa ng tawa, "Huh? Nabibigla naman ako sa mga biro mo! hahah!"
"Hindi ako nagbibiro! Seryoso ako! Mukha ba akong nagbibiro?"
"Hindi naman kaso nabibigla talaga ako!"
"Sige, Hihintayin ko ang panahon kapag handa ka na! Mahal na mahal talaga kita!

Bigla na lamang dumating ang mga classmate nila at sabay-sabay naghiyawan. Narinig pala nila ang usapan ng dalawa.
"Narinig ninyo? Naku naman!, sigaw ni Zelle.

Misterio part 2

Nagpatuloy ang panliligaw ni Lester kay Zelle. Makalipas ang isang linggo, kaarawan na ni Zelle. Inimbitahan niya ang lahat ng classmate niya sa kanilang bahay upang magsalo-salo. Masayang masaya si Zelle dahil sa mga nangyayari sa kanya. Mayaman na sila at nanliligaw na sa kanya ang idolo niya. Tila natupad lahat ng kahilingan ni Zelle. Dumating si Lester at may dalang regalo. Maysulat ito sa loob. binasa ito ni Zelle.

"Dear Bhezt,
Happy Birthday! More Birthdays to come! Wish ko sa birthday mo, sana maging artista ako! haha! Sana matupad mo lahat ng pangarap mo, kasama ako. At sana pagbigyan mo ako. Mahal na mahal kita bhezt. Sana maniwala ka!<3<3<3

Lester

Napaiyak si Zelle dahil naalala niya ang papel na iyon. Ganoon rin ang papel na ibinigay ng matanda sa kanya. Natakot siya na baka tuparin ng papel na iyon ang hiling ni Lester. Dahil naalala niyang ganoon rin ang papel na ibinigay niya kay Lester at lahat ng isinulat niyang kahilingan roon ay natupad.

Tumakbo si Zelle papunta kay Lester. Hinigit niya ito papunta sa kanilang garden at doon sila'y nagsolo. Sabi ni Zelle,"Bhezt, Ipangako mo sa akin hindi ka matutulog mamayang gabi!"
'Bakit naman?"
"Basta! Dito ka lang sa tabi ko ok? Mahal na mahal kita!"
"Talaga? Ibig sabihin mo tayo na?"
"Oo, mahal na mahal kita!Naniniwala ako sayo!Simula ng makita kita, lahat na ng pangarap ko ay natupad!"
"Bhezt Salamat! Tinupad mo kaagad ang kahilingan ko sa sulat ko sayo"
"Huh? Tinupad ko?"

Hindi namalayan ni Zelle na siya mismo ang nagtupad ng kahilingan ni Lester sa papel na iyon. Niyakap niya ng mahigpit si Lester at iyak siya ng iyak. Natatakot siyang baka bukas ay magising na siya sa panaginip na iyon. Sa labas ay nakita niya ang matandang nagbigay sa kanya ng papel na iyon. Pinuntahan niya ang matanda at naghihiling ng isa pang papel. Sabi ng matanda, "Neng, kailanman ay hindi mo maaring baliin ang nakasulat sa papel. Hindi na rin maaring umulit pa."

Walang magawa si Zelle kundi ang umiyak. Sinamahan siya ni Lester hanggang hating-gabi.
Habang Nakatinggin sila sa mga bituin, sinabi na lamang bigla ni Lester, "Zelle, sobrang saya ko ngayon!"
"Ako rin naman. Makasam lang kita masaya na ko"
"Lalo na ako"
tinanong na lamang ni Zelle si Lester, "Lester, Paano kung bukas artista ka na, tapos ako ordinaryong babae lamang, mamahalin mo pa rin ba ako?
"Oo naman, kahit ano ka pa, mahal kita! Ito lang ang tandaan mo, kung sakali mang magyari yon bukas at matapos na ito, hahawakan lamang kita sa iyong pisngi at pangoko sayong babalik tayo sa dati."

Hindi nila namalayang nakatulog na pala sila. Nagising na lamang si Zelle sa kwarto niya. Hinanap niya agad ni Lester, "Mama! si Lester?", "Bilisan mo kakanta na siya sa school mo!"sagot naman ng mama niya.
"Huh? Wala ba siya dito kagabi?"
"Hoy! Gising! haha. Nanaginip na naman si Zelle"

Nagmadali siyang pumasok. Nagpunta kaagad siya sa room nila at hinanap si Lester, "Si Lester?'
"Wala pa, hinahantay na nga namin eh. Asan na yung ibibigay mo sa kanya?, sagot naman ni Joyce. Makalipas ang ilang oras, pumunta na sila sa Gymnasium. Hinantay nila ang pagdating ng sikat na sikat na artistang si Lester Concepcion. Dumating na nga si Lester, pumunta siya sa stage at kumanta na. Tumakbo naman si Zelle papunta sa stage. Lumapit siya kay Lester at sinabing, "Lester! Mahal na mahal kita! Buti naman at natupad yung kahilingan mo."
"Ahh miss, salamat sa suporta.", sagot naman ni Lester. Napaiyak na lamang si Zelle at umalis na lamang sa stage dahil inakala niyang totoo ang napanaginipan niya. Habang bumababa siya, bumagsak na lamang siya at nahimatay. binuhat siya ni Lester at dinala sa clinic ng School nila. walang tigil na tinitigan ni Lester si Zelle dahil pakiramdam siya ay kilala niya ito. Habang natutulog si Zelle, Kinapitan ni Lester ang pisngi ni Zelle. napaluha na lamang siya. Nagising si Zelle at bigla siyang niyakap ni Lester at sinabing, "Zelle, I'm Sorry! Humantong pa sa ganito ang lahat. Mahal na mahal kita! Sorry dahil hindi kita naalala agad!"
"Ayos lang iyon, ang mahalaga naalala mo ako. Mahalaga napatunayan ko na totoo pala ang nangyari sa akin noong nakasama kita sa panaginip. Mahirap mang isipin pero paniniwalaan ko! Mahal na mahal na mahal kita!

Siguro nga isang MISTERIO ang nangyari sa kanila. Hindi rin nila maipaliwanag sa sarili nila ang nangyari. Pero naniniwala sila sa nararamdaman nila at minahal ang isa't isa ng walang wagas!

Gos Bless!

i love Him, He loves me not...

May mga taong darating sa buhay natin na sasaktan lamang tayo at may iba naman na mamahalin tayo ng sobra-sobra.

May mga taong isasakripisyo ang lahat para sayo. Pinahahalagahan niya ang mga oras na kasama ka niya. Yun taong gagawin lahat para sumaya ka lang. Na walang sawang nagbibigay sayo ng mga regalong kahit kailan naman hindi mo tinanggap. Siya ang taong mahal na mahal ka kahit hindi mo siya mahal.

Pipilitin mong mahalin siya, pero hindi mo talaga magawa. At mas pipiliing mong mahalin ang taong kabaliktaran niya. Yun taong walang isinasakripisyo para sayo. Yun walang pakialam kapag magkasama kayo. Yun walang kahit anong ibinigay sayo. Yun taong hindi ka pinapansin. Siya ang taong mahal na mahal mo kahit hindi ka niya mahal.

Mas pinili mo siyang mahalin dahil para sayo siya ang perpekto. OO! perpekto sa hindi pamamahal sayo. Noong natanggap mo na hindi ka talaga niya mahal, mas pinili mong maging kaibigan na lamang siya. Kasi at least, matatawag mo siyang "KUYA". Magagawa mo ring siyang kausapin at may lakas ka na ng loob para lapitan siya at ipakita sa kanya na mahal mo talaga siya at gagawin mo ang lahat mahalin ka lamang niya!
God Bless!

Seeking God's will?

Well to start off, I'm talking about the right guy for you who is prepared by God himself. Seeking God's will is not that easy. You will start to meet some guy who fulfilled your happiness. And some are there just to play with you heart. Love is not a game. Nor a joke. It's is something that You must be serious. Because God is Love.

Considering. It's somewhat says the first step. It is looking for someone whom you think is a perfect guy and who must be deserving to be considered.
( How may I know if he deserves it?) As a Christian, You must know the differences between the unbeliever and believer. The believer is a Christian who is committed and in love, even not with you, he must be in love with God. If you him beyond what the eyes can see. It's like judging him not by his looks but by his attitude. *Beauty only gets attention, but personality captures the heart* It's true that you can easily see his looks. But looks do fades away by the years he spend. but the attitude he has just stay.

After considering, PRAY FOR HIM. Every night, every day! even every hour. God hears all your prayers. He never sleeps. He know what your heart desires. He know what can make you happy. Surrender you feelings to Him. Ask Him if the one you are considering is His' will. God will be the one to lead you on the right path. He will lead your heart to the right man.

If God has given you the sign that the one you are considering is His' will. Just pray. Pray Until Something Happens. Anything happens because it is God's plan. Because you already met the guy, make him happy just like the way he makes you happy. Love him endlessly and never ever scold him nothing. Because He is a Christian, you will worry nothing. Praise God together, love God and You will have the happiest moments that an unbeliever can't have. It is the happiness that can't be compared to the expensive things. It is just simply having the happiest life with Him and most especially, with God.

Thank You and God Bless! Keep on looking for God's will, maybe you've seen it already but you just don't pay attention!

Love You all!

When God Speaks in Darkness


What do we usually feel if we are in the dark? WE are scared? YES. We are not comfortable? YES. We feel like someone is looking at us? YES. I actually answered that question personally. My greatest fear is DARKNESS. I just don't want to be in darkness. and YES. I pray whenever I am in the dark, but I AM STILL AFRAID.
I personally love lights and sounds that is running coz of electricity. I got BV when electricity is out. I thought that there is no life when there is no light. BUT I'M WRONG.
It's been a month of preparation, month of long thinking of how are we going to organize the YDC fellowship that was held last Sunday, 09.26.10. Since I am appointed to be lead and organize the Music team, I did my best to make it perfect, to make it well sounded. I've been so sensitive with faults and the teams childish ways. I got mad/bitter easily.
A day before the said event, I am not comfortable with the line-up of songs. It was suppose to be like this.
-Heart of Worship
-Adonai
-One Way
-Hosanna
-With all I am
-How Great is our God
-Magnificent
Then I just changed the plans of not including the underlined songs and change it to only one song, STILL.
My line-up was, I put still on the last song. but.....
Line-up of songs goes like this.
Adonai
Oneway
Heart of Worship
STILL
With all I am
When we are in the midst of the Worship Service, THE ELECTRICITY's OUT! I am shocked and I don't know what to do. But still, the worship leader continued in singing. Upon listening and waiting for the leader's signal if we are gonna stop or not, I realized MANY things.
HEART OF WORSHIP
I did all my best to make the worship service perfect. BUT:( I didn't prepare the team for LIVE,PURE, and TRUE WORSHIP. I cared about the instruments, the music, the tunes, the rhythm, the songs. BUT THE MESSAGE THAT WE HAVE TO TELL THROUGH WORSHIP was not in our/my heart. When we worship, it's not our mind to set but our heart. It's not about the perfectness of the PERFORMANCE, yet it is the perfectness of your heart for worship.All of us tend to think that when we join the worship service, it means we WORSHIP. We close our eyes, but, We are not really doing the TRUE worship.
And I think that's why God tested our heart when the time that the electricity's out.
STILL
The whole song of still. We sang it with no instruments. It's Hot and dark. We are confused and shocked. But STILL, we continue.
-LESSON-
I am afraid of darkness, I PRAY, yet I AM STILL NERVOUS. What God tells me while we are singing STILL was, "Don't doubt in darkness when God is giving you the light"
One more thing, LIGHT's and POWER was out. It a challenge that God was telling us. "BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD"
Looking back, I said on the first paragraph that it annoys me when the lights and power is out. But the moment we sing STILL, I cried. that's when I realize that, me, and ALL THE PEOPLE INSIDE THE SANCTUARY ARE STILL AND CONTINUED TO PRAISE, TRULY, LIVELY, and PURE.
WITH ALL I AM
The best! LIGHT'S are back. and that's when we all clap with gladness that we overcome the darkness and be STILL for GOD.
With all we are, With all I am, My heart will always BE STILL and know that you are GOD.
God is truly working on everyone's life. It's been exactly a year ago after that ONDOY Typhoon. And the amazing fact was, STILL was an anthem when ONDOY strikes our country.
I know that God is smiling so much that He has seen His children worship Him with the Heart of Worship, With all they are. And because, even the oceanic PROBLEMS rise, and the thunders that roars and keeps on destroying us, floods of trials came, GOD will always be the KING above all. AND WE WILL SOAR WITH HIM, UPON THE STORMS in our life.
From now on, DARKNESS WILL NEVER EXIST. Co'z I know that there's GOD who will give me HIS light. Co'z I know that GOD SPEAKS IN DARKNESS.
Be Blessed and Be a Blessing.
God Bless!

Carlo Lazerna


Being a fan is ok. but being a fanfriend is far more better. Before, I am already supporting artist like Sam Concepcion, but I never talked to him personally. I've seen him in person but I never get near to him.

This time,I had a friend who will be an artist, Caleb Santos. Even before he become a part of VIVA RECORDS, me and my cousins admire him because of his charmis face and sweet voice. Now, a news came that he'll be a part of a MALE GROUP. I know about it like a year ago because my cousin is updating me about Caleb. I didn't know yet about that male group so i keep on searching until Caleb tagged me to a photo greeting me MERRY CHRISTMAS. In that photo was the said male group. Who really captures my eyes was Meljohn Magno. I don't know why. I am so happy that I can talk to him through Facebook.

I also added the other members of XLR8. I sent a message to one of them,Carlo Lazerna. Luckily, He urgently replied to me, there, we talked privately. I just loved it when we talked. It's like I already know him. One day, I discovered a chatbox. I went there but sadly, no one's there except for another fan. I stayed the for 1 hour talking to that another fan. Then Kiko Ramos showed up, then Caleb, and another was Carlo Lazerna. I didn't noticed how it started when we started talking to each other. We even had our name, CARLZELLE! LOL! I added him up at YM and I was shocked when he called me. My knees are really shaking at that moment. I even satyed up until 2:00 AM just to continue talking to him. Now, he stands out for me among the other members of XLR8. For he is...*augh* I really can't help it but visit his page, leave some message on his YM before logging out, I even mention him on my status, created a fanpage for him, recorded a song for him, and this, I wrote an article with his name as title.

I will never ever forget the closeness we had. All I want now is to see him in person and have a picture with him and be more closer to him. Carlo Lazerna deserve to be supported.

Carlo Lazerna, I hope you won't forget me, just like I always tell you. Zelle is here! Your No. 1 FANFRIEND!
Much LOVE! <3>

TRUST


haiz...saya talaga maglingkod sa Lord. Trust in Him and He will not let you be in harm.

Story:(Not a true story, i just read it from my cp, but it is meaningful)

May isang girl na hatinggabi na umuwi ng solo dahil sa ginawa nilang project. Para maging mabilis ang pauwi niya, dumaan siya sa shortcut na daan. Sa kanto ng kalsada ay may dalawang lalaki na tila nagaabang sa kanya. Natakot siya na baka may mangyari sa kanyang masama. Pero hindi nanguna ang takot sa kanya. nagdasal siya at sinabi niyang, "Panginoon, ipinagkakatiwala ko po sa inyo ang sarili ko. Nawa po gabayan Niyo po ako at huwag Niyo po hahayaan na may mangyari sa aking masama." Sa moment na iyon, ipinagkatiwala niya sa Panginoon ang buhay niya. Lumakad siya ng normal at ng walang takot. Lumampas siya sa mga lalaki at nagpasalamat na walang nangyari sa kanya.Kinabukasan paggising niya, sinabi sa kanya ng kanyang ina na mayroong namatay at narape sa may kanto malapit sa kanila, narape daw ang babae ng magaalauna na ng umaga,nagkataong doon din siya dumaan noong gabing iyon. Dahil kilala pa niya ang mga mukha ng mga lalaking nakita niya noon, pumunta siya sa presinto upang makatulong. At hindi siya nagkamali sa hinala niya na iyon nga ang mga lalaki na pumatay at nangrape sa biktima. Dahil sa pagtataka ng pulis kung bakit kilala ng babae ang mga lalaki, tinanong siya ng pulis, "Dumaan ka din ba doon?", sagot naman siya, "opo, 12 na po ng hating gabi iyon" Sunod naman na tinanong ng pulis ang mga lalaki, "Nauna bang dumaan ang babaeng ito sa babaeng nirape nio?", sagaot naman ng mga lalaki, "Opo". Nagtanong muli ang pulis, "Mahirap man itanong ito, Bakit hindi siya ang pinagtangkaan ninyo gayong siya pala ang naunang dumaan.?" sagot naman na isang lalaki, "Dahil po mayroong siyang kasamang dalawang matangkad na lalaki sa tabi niya."

Lesson:
Sa kahit anong oras, huwag natin aalisin ang tiwala natin sa Panginoon dahil Siya lamang ang makakapagligtas sa atin sa oras ng kapahamakan. Magtiwala tayo sa Kanya ng buong puso at hindi Niya hahayaan na tayo'y mapahamak. Nawa nainspire kayo. Dahil nainspire ako noong mabasa ko ito noon.

I'm lucky I'm in love with my bestfriend!


This is the song that made me realize that I could be falling in love with my best friend. We've been friends for almost 10 years. But as we are growing, physically, emotionally, and spiritually, we used to talk about serious things in life. Love life, future partner, God's Will and everything.

Before, we are always fighting like kids. I'm always shouting at him when we are at high school level because we are seat mates that time and I'm always distracted by him. He make me cry when we are 2nd yr. high school. Comports me and cared even more when we are 3rd year. And that year, I got my first kiss on my cheeks. ;D. We are playing kiss relay during recess, the first one to kiss me is him. I still consider it as a first kiss for he is the first guy to kiss me on my cheeks.

4th Year High School, we became more mature and committed to our studies. We both became busy because we are both aiming for a medal and a high grades. One night, my mom was brought to the hospital. Since then, I became irresponsible for my studies and I got bored in studying, I was eliminated out of the special class, who's taking special subjects, and my exams are far too low from my past exams. But I'm so thankful that one man, my bestfriend, cheer me up and unexpectedly, kissed me on my forehead. That moment, I do not know how would I react with what he do. I just smiled and say, "Thank You!" and I was awarded with a medal during our graduation.

From that day on, I have seen him not just a simple friend, but a super special friend, far beyond a best friend. I am afraid to fall in love with him because I am afraid that we'd be strangers if I'll tell him what I feel about him. I try not to fall in love with him, but as we grow old, we became more closer, and others used to asked if we are in a relationship.

Yes, he is in a relationship, but not with me. I felt a little hurt when I knew that. Though it hurts, I let him tell to me about his girlfriend. And we became more closer because of that, he treated me as his little sister.

Now, we are still BEST FRIENDS, he knew my feelings about him but the good thing about him is, even he knew it, he said, "I will never ever walk away from you for you are my best friends, I don't want to waste our strong foundation of friendship just because of that, I'll let you love me, but let me love you too as my sister and friend."

Now, I'm happier than ever when he said that, Why? at least he never changed and he still loves me as his sister and friend, a relationship that never ends.

Friendship vs. Love. I'd rather choose friendship because it is God's will to be done when it comes to love.


God Bless!

I almost forgotten him ;c

Maybe you'll wonder why I stopped blogging 2 months, it because I'm trying to forget someone, and my blog reminds me of him. Now that I almost forgotten him, maybe it's time for me to go back on the blogosphere. I think I missed many things, especially the posts of my co-bloggers. So how are you all?

I wish I'm still a resident of this site. huhu..;c because maybe you almost forgotten me.

Well that's all.

*My Update:
I have a new haircut!hihi. I'll take my photo and share it with you.

God Bless folks!

Enough!

Maybe they don't understand me..
or maybe they really don't have understanding
I wanna forget him
It's them that told me to forget him
Yet it's them that make me remember him
by telling his name
and everything that I've done for him
I'm tired
Tired of hearing his name
Tired of remembering him
Tired of showing to him my love and care
Tired of loving him
And tired of waiting for nothing
I know it's not easy to forget him
but anything will not happen if you don't try it
I realized that I must stop this stupidity
And start being decent
Decent to what I am doing for love
Though it's hard to let it go
I really have to
Because if I will continue to love him
I might see myself picking up the pieces of my broken heart
I thank God because I met that guy
I'll never regret knowing him
Because He still leave a wonderful memory in me

God Bless!

Looking for answers? part 1

1. What is Salvation?
Salvation is deliverance from the penalty, pollution, and power of sin(Rom. 6:14,23; Ti. 3:4-6). It is generally more important than being saved from fire, deep water, illness, or loneliness.

2. What is a sin?
Sin is any thought, word, or deed that either violates or falls short of complete conformity to God's holy laws(Rom. 3:23; Jas. 4:17, I Jn. 3:4). In short, Jesus and His apostles taught that sin is anything that doesn't reflect selfless love for God and others(Mt. 22:34-40).

3. What has God done to provide salvation?
He became a member of the human race in the person of Jesus(Jn. 1:1, 14), lived sinlessly as our substitute to fulfill God's righteous demands(2 Cor. 5:12), suffered and died on the cross to bear the penalty for our sins(Mt. 20:28; Rom. 4:23-25; I Cor. 15:3-4), and rode from the grave to break the power of death and defeats Satan( Acts 2:24; Heb. 2:14-15). In other words, He accepted full responsibility to pay the price for the consequences of our sins.

4. For whom did Christ die?
Jesus died for all the people(Jn. 3:16; 2Cor. 5:14-15), for all have fallen short of their original purpose to know God(Jn. 17:3), to glorify Him(I Cor. 10:31), and to enjoy Him forever(Rev. 7:15-17; 21:1-4). Christ died for those who are sinners by nature(Ps. 51:5), disobedient by choice(Rom. 3:23), spiritually dead(Eph. 2:1, 5), unable to please God(Rom. 8:8), and under Hid wrath(Jn. 3:36; Rom. 1:18).

Pray First!

This post is from the devotional book of "Our Daily Bread".
I just want to share this wonderful reading from "Our Daily Bread"

(Read: James 5:13-18)
A Bible teacher asked his class this question:"When you are in trouble, what do you most often do first?" He gave them Three answers from which to choose:
1. Take care of it yourself.
2. Call a friend and talk it over.
3. Ask God for help.

Only two people in the class of 35 indicated that they prayed first. Most of them choose number 1 and several choose number 2. My guess is that these responses are typical.

James wrote, "Os anyone among you suffering? Let him pray"(5:13). Too often, prayer is not our first response to trouble. We may try to figure out solution by ourselves, using our own skills or financial resources, or we may turn to our friends. When none of that helps, we finally get around to praying.

Not only that, we don't pray about the trouble very long or pause to consider what the Bible has to say about our response to our problem. It's amazing, though, what can happen when we take time to pray about the issue and listen to God speak through His Word. He will give us fresh way to look at our situation, and help us to be more Christlike.

James said, "The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much"(5:16). So always PRAY FIRST!

Think it over:
When you face a problem, where do you turn first?
How has prayers helped you during difficult times?
How has God answered your prayers?
*********************************************

Prayer should be our first response---
Not our last resort.

A friend who never leaves

I have this friend
Who's always with me
She's there when I need
She's there and she never leaves

If I have problems
I share it with her
I tell her all my bad feelings
I tell her all, cause she cares

She care to listen
She care to comport me
She care to give advice
She care to love me

And when I cry at my room
She's there listening to me
But when I look at the mirror
I see nobody, just me

I realized that my friend
Is always there
Because it's me
My friend who never leaves

I made this post for those people who's in love with theirselves!
love yourself!!
But love God Above all!
God Bless!

Tati's Words of Love

I have this friend, I call him TATI, he's born Ricardo Legisma III Jr. He's so funny and whenever we talk with each other, he used to tell me weird things just as follows:

When people hurt,
love fades away!
-TATI-
The moon reflects the river
The river reflects the moon
The LOVE is there!
-TATI-
I am the bridge, in the CANAL!
-TATI-
You know, when I saw you, I feel the pain!
-TATI-
Life goes on, it's getting too late! But tomorrow is here!
-TATI-
I'm not the only one for you
But you the only one for me!
-TATI-
You know, time will come, the world will meet to the end!
-TATI-
Don't trash things.
-TATI-
Love is in the air, When you grab it, then You grab it!
-TATI-
Balon ka ba? Na-fall na kasi ako sayo!
-TATI-
Love can move a mountain, but love? Where is the Love?
-TATI-
I have nothing to say, but you know, You know me!
-TATI-
I'll let you swin in the flood of my...endless love!
-TATI-
Midst in the middle of the air!
-TATI-
Nilalang ako ng Diyos para ituwid ang landas mo!
-TATI-

While we are talking, I told him about the weird words he used to tell me
I say: You're giving me sensible thoughts!
Tati says: I'm sensitive!

He's so funny! And I'm so happy to have him as my friend!

Thanks And God Bless!

A Piece of Advice

"Broken Hearted". When someone felt so hurt by someone they really love, they say they were broken. Yes, broken, in terms of feeling so empty and lost. Empty because you feel like you lost a big part in you by loosing the one you love.

When someone is broken hearted, sometimes they commit suicide, if not, they became "EMO", short term for emotional. Then start slashing their wrist. Why do they have to do that? For me, it's losing their everything, losing their selves, their life and their loved ones. And I can't find any reason why do they have to do such things.

Yes, they are broken. It means that they can't be in love. As I see in this generation, "EMO Boys" and "EMO Girls" have their bf's and gf's, and it's called "EMO LOVE". Yet they confirm to us and to their selves that were broken hearted.

There are people who go to places like bars and clubs to enjoy and forget their selves being broken. It's not a good idea for us to drink alcohol and smoke. Not everything is being fixed by drinking and smoking.

It's sad to look at the NEW generation, they're BROKEN! Broken by the attitudes they have now. As a piece of advice, broken hearts are not impossible to be fixed. If every pieces of your heart, big or small, is in GOD. He'll be the one to fix it, not just your heart, also your life. He died for you, so live for Him and nothing will ever break your heart. If you think that the world hates you, remember that the world first hated JESUS. But He never stopped loving us. So don't think that no one loves you, God loves you! and He loves us so much that He gave his only son to forgive our sins. There's no greater love, only the love of God!

"God can heal a broken heart, but He has to have all the pieces"

God Bless!

Misterio part 1

Maraming tanong ang madalas nating sambitin sa tuwong tayo'y umiibig. Halos lahat ng babae ay naghahangad na ibigin sila ng minamahal nila. Pero sa ordinaryong mundo, Maraming misteriyo ang gumugulo sa puso't isipan ng bawat isa. At isa na nga roon si Zelle. Isa siyang ordinariyong College Student na umiidolo sa sikat na artistang si Lester.

Isang araw, napakasaya ni Zelle noong nalaman niyang bibisita ang idolo niyang si Lester sa kanilang eskwelahan. Nagtatalon siya sa tuwa dahil sa unang pagkakataon ay makikita na niya ang idolo niya.. Pagkauwi niya ay ikinuwento niya agad ang balita sa mama niya. "Mama!! Makikita ko na si Lester sa Personal! Pupunta siya sa school namin!", sabi ni zelle. "Weh? Pupunta rin ako! Joke! haha! Hala'y pumasok ka na sa kwarto mo at magbihis na!", pabiro namang sagot ng mama niya.

Pagpasok niya sa kwarto, nagbihis agad siya , kumain ng hapunan at inihanda ang kung ano mang maari niyang ibigay kay Lester. Gumawa siya ng isang sulat. Isinulat niya ito sa papel na ibinigay sa kanya ng matanda noong kaarawan niya. Hindi alam ni Zelle na ang sulat na iyon ay magbabago ng buhay niya. Dahil ang sulat na iyon, sabi ng matandang nagbigay sa kanya, ay nagtutupad ng anumang kahilingan na isulat mo sa papel na iyon. Habang nagsusulat si Zelle, hindi niya namalayang nakatulog na pala siya.

Makalipas ang ilang oras, nagising na ang prinsesa. Naghanda na siya ng kanyang sarili at tumungo na sa eskwelahan. Nang nasa eskwelahan na siya, nakita niya ang idolo niyang si Lester sa tapat ng room kung saan siya pupunta. Lumapit siya kay Lester at sinabi, "Lester?". Habang natulala. Napangiti nalang sa kanya si Lester at biglaang siyang niyakap. Hindi maintindihan ni Zelle ang nangyayari. Tuwang-tuwa siya dahil alam niya ang lalaking iyon ay si Lester. Matapos yakapin siyang yakapin ni Lester, walang masabi si Zelle at natulala nalang.
"Hoy Bhezt! Ano?" sabi ni Lester
"Umm..Huh? Bhezt?"Habang litong-lito sinabi ni Zelle."Kailan pa? Hello? Lester Concepcion? Kilala mo ba ako?"
Si Lester naman na tila nasaktan sa sinabi ni Zelle ay umalis. Tumakbo ito papalayo dahil hindi man lang naalala ni Zelle ang Birthday niya.

Pumasok na si Zelle sa room nila, tulala at hindi maintindihan ang nagyayari sa kanya. Nilapitan niyas si Joyce, Ang alam niyang bhezt niya.
"Hui! Musta ka ba?'
"AbaH? Kinausap mo ata ako Zelle? Di ba Galit ka sa akin?"
"Ano? Hindi! Miss na miss na kita"
"Hahaha! Zelle naman. Kahapon lang ay sobra ang galit ko sa akin nagyon naman sobarng bait mo. Miss ko rin ikaw! ahhuhu!"
"Bakit naman ako naglit sayo?"
"Kasi Zelle, sabi mo nilalandi ko ang bhezt mong si Lester."
"huh? Si Lester? Hello? Noong nasa labas nga siya hindi niyo man lang siya nilapitan para makapgpa-authograph. Di ba artista siya?"
Sabay tinapik ni joyce si Zelle sabay sabing, "Si Lester artista? Kailan pa? haha."
At tuluyan na ngang tinawanan ng lahat si Zelle dahil sa sinabi niya.

Dumating na rin si Lester. Mugto ang mga mata niya at halatang-halata na umiyak siya. Tahimik lang siya at umupo sa dulong upuan at hindi pinansin ang sino man. Makalipas ang ilang minuto, dumating na rin ang teacher nila na may dala pang napakalaking regalo.
"Hey Guys!!!" sigaw ng guro nila. Tahimik lang ang lahat.
"Hoy! ano ba kayo? Lester! Tama na yang drama mo" Samnit ni ralph sa buong klase. Napangiti lamang si Lester at biglang sumugaw ang lahat.
"Happy Birthday President!"
Natuwa si Lester sa narinig. Binigay na ng Guro ang regalo at sinabing.
"Oh yan na! Kinutsaba pa ako ng BESTFRIEND mo!, sabi ng guro.
"Talaga sir?" sagot naman ni Lester."
Sinakyan na lamang ni Zelle ang nagyayari at sinabing, "Ah oo Bhest!...Happy Bithday!"
Tumakbo si Lester papunta kay Zelle. At sa sobrang tuwa nito ay niyakap niya Zelle. Habang ang mga kaklase nila ay humiyaw at tila kinikilig sa kanilang nakikita.

Pagkauwi ay inihatid na ni Lester si Zelle. Bago umalis si Lester sa bahay nina Zelle ay sinabi muna niyang, "Bhesst! Salamat talaga. Ang saya ng Birthday ko. Mahal na mahal kita bhezt. Sana pwede kitang mahalin na higit pa sa kung tayo ngayon." Walang nasabi si Zelle kundi, "Ahh, sige! Uwi ka na po. Gabi na po ehh. Pati hinihintay na ko ni mama. Happy Birthday Ulit."

Isang ngiti ang hindi nawala sa labi ni Zelle. Sabi niya, " Kung panaginip man ito sana hindi na ako magising!"

Habang pauwi naman si Lester ay may nakasalubong siyang matanda. Binigyan nito si Lester ng isang papel at sinabing, " Ang papel na ito ay hindi basta ordinaryong papel lamang dahil lahat ng naisin mo sa buhay ay isulat mo lamang sa papel na iyan at ibibigay nito ang lahat ng iyon. Binigyan na lamang ni Lester ang matanda ng pera at umalis na.

Kinabukasan, sinundo ni Lester si Zelle sa bahay nila. Habang naglalakad sila nabanggit ni Lester ang kaarawan ni Zelle., "bhezt, isang linggo nalang birthday mo na. Maghahanda ka ba?"
Hindi no! wala kaming pera." sagot naman ni Zelle. Masayang naguusap sina Zelle, sinalubong sila ng isang grupo ng mga lalaki at sinabing. "Wow! Balita kayo na raw ahh? Ang saya naman! Pinagpalit na ako ni Zelle". Nainis si Zelle at lumapit sa bukayong lalaki, "Hoy! Ikaw nga! Wag na wag ka nang makakadaan dito. At anong karapatan mong sabihin saking EX kita? Hello! May taste pa naman ako!". Walang nasabi ang mga lalaki at pinadaan na sina Zelle.
"Bhezt ikaw ba yan?" Sambit ni Lester.
"Oo naman.!"
"Bhezt! Lalo ka tuloy nakakinlove!"
"tumugil ka nga diyan! tara na at malelate na tayo."

Pagdating nina Zelle sa room nila, walang tao. Lahat ng kaklase nila ay wala. Naghanap sila at nagtanong kung nasaan sila. Ngunit hindi talaga nila makita. Naghintay na lamang sila sa room. Habang naroon sila nagusap na lamang sila. Biglang nabanggit ni Lester ang panliligaw niya kay Zelle, "Bhezt, pwede ba akong manligaw? Na-develop na kasi ako sayo! Toto iyon Bhezt. Simula bata magBhezt na tayo. Hindi imposibleng mahalin kita!"
Sumagot naman si Zelle habang tawa ng tawa, "Huh? Nabibigla naman ako sa mga biro mo! hahah!"
"Hindi ako nagbibiro! Seryoso ako! Mukha ba akong nagbibiro?"
"Hindi naman kaso nabibigla talaga ako!"
"Sige, Hihintayin ko ang panahon kapag handa ka na! Mahal na mahal talaga kita!

Bigla na lamang dumating ang mga classmate nila at sabay-sabay naghiyawan. Narinig pala nila ang usapan ng dalawa.
"Narinig ninyo? Naku naman!, sigaw ni Zelle.

Misterio part 2

Nagpatuloy ang panliligaw ni Lester kay Zelle. Makalipas ang isang linggo, kaarawan na ni Zelle. Inimbitahan niya ang lahat ng classmate niya sa kanilang bahay upang magsalo-salo. Masayang masaya si Zelle dahil sa mga nangyayari sa kanya. Mayaman na sila at nanliligaw na sa kanya ang idolo niya. Tila natupad lahat ng kahilingan ni Zelle. Dumating si Lester at may dalang regalo. Maysulat ito sa loob. binasa ito ni Zelle.

"Dear Bhezt,
Happy Birthday! More Birthdays to come! Wish ko sa birthday mo, sana maging artista ako! haha! Sana matupad mo lahat ng pangarap mo, kasama ako. At sana pagbigyan mo ako. Mahal na mahal kita bhezt. Sana maniwala ka!<3<3<3

Lester

Napaiyak si Zelle dahil naalala niya ang papel na iyon. Ganoon rin ang papel na ibinigay ng matanda sa kanya. Natakot siya na baka tuparin ng papel na iyon ang hiling ni Lester. Dahil naalala niyang ganoon rin ang papel na ibinigay niya kay Lester at lahat ng isinulat niyang kahilingan roon ay natupad.

Tumakbo si Zelle papunta kay Lester. Hinigit niya ito papunta sa kanilang garden at doon sila'y nagsolo. Sabi ni Zelle,"Bhezt, Ipangako mo sa akin hindi ka matutulog mamayang gabi!"
'Bakit naman?"
"Basta! Dito ka lang sa tabi ko ok? Mahal na mahal kita!"
"Talaga? Ibig sabihin mo tayo na?"
"Oo, mahal na mahal kita!Naniniwala ako sayo!Simula ng makita kita, lahat na ng pangarap ko ay natupad!"
"Bhezt Salamat! Tinupad mo kaagad ang kahilingan ko sa sulat ko sayo"
"Huh? Tinupad ko?"

Hindi namalayan ni Zelle na siya mismo ang nagtupad ng kahilingan ni Lester sa papel na iyon. Niyakap niya ng mahigpit si Lester at iyak siya ng iyak. Natatakot siyang baka bukas ay magising na siya sa panaginip na iyon. Sa labas ay nakita niya ang matandang nagbigay sa kanya ng papel na iyon. Pinuntahan niya ang matanda at naghihiling ng isa pang papel. Sabi ng matanda, "Neng, kailanman ay hindi mo maaring baliin ang nakasulat sa papel. Hindi na rin maaring umulit pa."

Walang magawa si Zelle kundi ang umiyak. Sinamahan siya ni Lester hanggang hating-gabi.
Habang Nakatinggin sila sa mga bituin, sinabi na lamang bigla ni Lester, "Zelle, sobrang saya ko ngayon!"
"Ako rin naman. Makasam lang kita masaya na ko"
"Lalo na ako"
tinanong na lamang ni Zelle si Lester, "Lester, Paano kung bukas artista ka na, tapos ako ordinaryong babae lamang, mamahalin mo pa rin ba ako?
"Oo naman, kahit ano ka pa, mahal kita! Ito lang ang tandaan mo, kung sakali mang magyari yon bukas at matapos na ito, hahawakan lamang kita sa iyong pisngi at pangoko sayong babalik tayo sa dati."

Hindi nila namalayang nakatulog na pala sila. Nagising na lamang si Zelle sa kwarto niya. Hinanap niya agad ni Lester, "Mama! si Lester?", "Bilisan mo kakanta na siya sa school mo!"sagot naman ng mama niya.
"Huh? Wala ba siya dito kagabi?"
"Hoy! Gising! haha. Nanaginip na naman si Zelle"

Nagmadali siyang pumasok. Nagpunta kaagad siya sa room nila at hinanap si Lester, "Si Lester?'
"Wala pa, hinahantay na nga namin eh. Asan na yung ibibigay mo sa kanya?, sagot naman ni Joyce. Makalipas ang ilang oras, pumunta na sila sa Gymnasium. Hinantay nila ang pagdating ng sikat na sikat na artistang si Lester Concepcion. Dumating na nga si Lester, pumunta siya sa stage at kumanta na. Tumakbo naman si Zelle papunta sa stage. Lumapit siya kay Lester at sinabing, "Lester! Mahal na mahal kita! Buti naman at natupad yung kahilingan mo."
"Ahh miss, salamat sa suporta.", sagot naman ni Lester. Napaiyak na lamang si Zelle at umalis na lamang sa stage dahil inakala niyang totoo ang napanaginipan niya. Habang bumababa siya, bumagsak na lamang siya at nahimatay. binuhat siya ni Lester at dinala sa clinic ng School nila. walang tigil na tinitigan ni Lester si Zelle dahil pakiramdam siya ay kilala niya ito. Habang natutulog si Zelle, Kinapitan ni Lester ang pisngi ni Zelle. napaluha na lamang siya. Nagising si Zelle at bigla siyang niyakap ni Lester at sinabing, "Zelle, I'm Sorry! Humantong pa sa ganito ang lahat. Mahal na mahal kita! Sorry dahil hindi kita naalala agad!"
"Ayos lang iyon, ang mahalaga naalala mo ako. Mahalaga napatunayan ko na totoo pala ang nangyari sa akin noong nakasama kita sa panaginip. Mahirap mang isipin pero paniniwalaan ko! Mahal na mahal na mahal kita!

Siguro nga isang MISTERIO ang nangyari sa kanila. Hindi rin nila maipaliwanag sa sarili nila ang nangyari. Pero naniniwala sila sa nararamdaman nila at minahal ang isa't isa ng walang wagas!

Gos Bless!

i love Him, He loves me not...

May mga taong darating sa buhay natin na sasaktan lamang tayo at may iba naman na mamahalin tayo ng sobra-sobra.

May mga taong isasakripisyo ang lahat para sayo. Pinahahalagahan niya ang mga oras na kasama ka niya. Yun taong gagawin lahat para sumaya ka lang. Na walang sawang nagbibigay sayo ng mga regalong kahit kailan naman hindi mo tinanggap. Siya ang taong mahal na mahal ka kahit hindi mo siya mahal.

Pipilitin mong mahalin siya, pero hindi mo talaga magawa. At mas pipiliing mong mahalin ang taong kabaliktaran niya. Yun taong walang isinasakripisyo para sayo. Yun walang pakialam kapag magkasama kayo. Yun walang kahit anong ibinigay sayo. Yun taong hindi ka pinapansin. Siya ang taong mahal na mahal mo kahit hindi ka niya mahal.

Mas pinili mo siyang mahalin dahil para sayo siya ang perpekto. OO! perpekto sa hindi pamamahal sayo. Noong natanggap mo na hindi ka talaga niya mahal, mas pinili mong maging kaibigan na lamang siya. Kasi at least, matatawag mo siyang "KUYA". Magagawa mo ring siyang kausapin at may lakas ka na ng loob para lapitan siya at ipakita sa kanya na mahal mo talaga siya at gagawin mo ang lahat mahalin ka lamang niya!
God Bless!

Seeking God's will?

Well to start off, I'm talking about the right guy for you who is prepared by God himself. Seeking God's will is not that easy. You will start to meet some guy who fulfilled your happiness. And some are there just to play with you heart. Love is not a game. Nor a joke. It's is something that You must be serious. Because God is Love.

Considering. It's somewhat says the first step. It is looking for someone whom you think is a perfect guy and who must be deserving to be considered.
( How may I know if he deserves it?) As a Christian, You must know the differences between the unbeliever and believer. The believer is a Christian who is committed and in love, even not with you, he must be in love with God. If you him beyond what the eyes can see. It's like judging him not by his looks but by his attitude. *Beauty only gets attention, but personality captures the heart* It's true that you can easily see his looks. But looks do fades away by the years he spend. but the attitude he has just stay.

After considering, PRAY FOR HIM. Every night, every day! even every hour. God hears all your prayers. He never sleeps. He know what your heart desires. He know what can make you happy. Surrender you feelings to Him. Ask Him if the one you are considering is His' will. God will be the one to lead you on the right path. He will lead your heart to the right man.

If God has given you the sign that the one you are considering is His' will. Just pray. Pray Until Something Happens. Anything happens because it is God's plan. Because you already met the guy, make him happy just like the way he makes you happy. Love him endlessly and never ever scold him nothing. Because He is a Christian, you will worry nothing. Praise God together, love God and You will have the happiest moments that an unbeliever can't have. It is the happiness that can't be compared to the expensive things. It is just simply having the happiest life with Him and most especially, with God.

Thank You and God Bless! Keep on looking for God's will, maybe you've seen it already but you just don't pay attention!

Love You all!
