I feel so blessed to fall inlove with this SWEET GOD <3

“Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s Will is—His Good, Pleasing and Perfect Will.”

- Romans 12:2

Don’t mind how the rest of the world sees you as different… what matters more is the way how God sees you :)

An Unexpected blessing called Employment (?)

I never asked. Never hoped. Never saw it coming. Never expected. Never cared. Never thought of being employed before my graduation day.



I went to the University early this afternoon for one reason, COLLECT PAYMENTS for Seniors Night. And yes, I was able to do it in the first few minutes of staying outside my beloved department. I have treated this day the way I treated the previous days… very ORDINARY. Nothing much to be expected.



When ma’am Rachel saw me outside the department, she told me that there is a researcher searching for a research assistant ASAP. It will be for two months and the salary is **,000 excluding other expenses. I was like…… “as in? kajot lang.. ASAP as in karon dayon?”. I was very reluctant to go because I still feel like a student, I wasn’t prepared and I am very young (19 years old) to be somebody assisting an American researcher. I was really not that interested because I have been preparing myself for something else. And it seems like a “déjà vu” thesis and I think I want to rest for awhile. I was very undecided. I have been staring at ma’am Rachel blankly and I don’t know what to say. It was so hard to make a firm decision when you are only given a couple of seconds to say yes or no. The pressure was so strong… a pressure stronger than that in a pressure cooker. haha. I unexpectedly felt too much nervousness… the nervousness I felt the last time I had my defense. It was very random. But because of the external pressures, I grabbed it thinking that “try2 lang gyud para dili ma bored this summer”. I was not expecting it. I went to Communications Office to know what the heck I am entering. Hahaha. And then Sir Jal and I, together with JM and tef went directly to the Marine chorva office for the interview. “Gosh, interview jud? Wala ko ka prepare, stress pa kaau. Dili ko guapa ato na time. d ko confident. Haha daghan kaau ko arte oi” but still I went together with them.

We were interviewed one by one and I was the first to be interviewed. Bayooot authentic English speaker kaau wala ko kaprepare. But thank God, for He has given me wisdom to answer those questions I never really comprehend that much. Haha. We were 6 (the other 2 were already graduates of Biology) but only 2 will be chosen. Oh well, I don’t know if I did a great job in that interview but I really did not care. It was really a very RANDOM try.

An hour later, I got a text from ma’am Cathy saying that I was asked to go back to the researcher churvabells. It was like “OMG, as in? ako ra usa? Kajot lang d ko prepared”. When I arrived there, the researcher told me, “hi adah, I CHOSE YOU.”. BAyoooot! I don’t know what to feel. Hearing the job description is like “challenging man diay kaayo ni oi”. Then they asked me to write my contact number and all for the orientation. “for real na gyud ni.. seryoso?” haha! Then ma’am cathy texted me “Congrats!”. It feels so nice. I just can’t help but thank the Lord for trusting me this much. I mean, wala lang gyud siguro ko nag expect. Maybe it’s time for me to go out from my comfort zone and try to trust myself a little bit more.



I just love the message that ma’am cathy texted me “Good things come in unexpected packages. Hope this will be the start of good things to come for you.”

-It was so touching. Thank you, IS department.

To God be the glory.

Bato bato sa langit

Minsan, hindi ko maiwasang magtampo, ma-inis, magalit at mag-reklamo sa mga bagay na mahirap sikmura-in at mahirap intindihin.  Hindi na yata kaya ng “sige lang”, “hayaan mo na lang”, “huwag mo na lang pansinin”. Siguro minsan kailangan din nating matututong magsalita, magpahayag ng ating saloobin at higit sa lahat kumilos.

Ngunit paano kung ang nakataya sa bawat salitang papakawalan ng ating mga labi ay ang mga relasyon natin sa iba’t ibang tao? Kailangan nating isaalang-alang na hindi lahat ng tao ay maiintindihan tayo. Alam ko iba’t iba ang pananaw ng bawat isa sa atin, pero natitiyak ko na lahat sa atin ay gusto ang pantay na pagtingin o pagtrato. Paano kung sa bawat pahayag ko ay may isang taong malalagay sa alanganing sitwasyon? Ngunit paano rin kung sa bawat sandaling inilalaan ko sa aking katahimikan ay may mga taong patuloy na nasasagasaan…o marahil ay sinasadyang sagasaan?

 Ano nga ba ang mas importante… ang katarungang o ang kapatawaran? Sa palagay ko kasi sobra-sobra na yung pagiging makasarili ng ibang tao. Alam ko, at sigurado ako na HINDI ako nag-iisa sa aking nararamdaman. Marami kami… marami kaming takot na takot at ayaw magsalita dahil alam namin ang mga nakataya at maaaring mangyari sa bawat pagpiyok na aming tatangkain.

Hindi ko lang talaga alam kung ano ang nagawa ko bakit pinag-iinitan mo ako nang ganito. Hindi ko alam kung bakit ganon na lamang ang pagtrato mo sa akin. Pilit kong inaalala ang lahat-lahat na aking nagawa na may kaugnayan sa iyo, ngunit wala akong matandaang kilos na maaaring paghugutan mo nito.

Ano nga ba ang dapat mamayani… ang takot at awang nadarama ng puso? o ang katarungang hinihiling ng isipan?

Minsan, hinihiling ko na sana pareho na lang ako ng iba… na kayang ipag-walang bahala ang mga bagay na mahirap intindihin, na kahit naaagrabyado na sila ay mas pinipili nilang huwag itong pansinin.  Sana nanatiling lihim at hindi ko na lang napatunayan na totoo pala ang mga hinala ko sa mga pinaggagawa mo.
