You are distinct.

These are the notes I have taken down from the first message of the week of prayer.
I Believe that:
  1. The Bible is the inspired word of God for the salvation of mankind.
  2. God is never wrong.
  3. God is always ever present and active in human history and stories.
  4. God cherishes diversity.
  5. No two things in this world are exactly alike.
  6. No one is like you.
As unique as you are, as distinct as you are, there is still something similar to us - we are all sinners.
DISTINCT - unlike any otherness.
"There is no limit to the usefulness of the one, who putting self aside, makes room for the working of the Holy Spirit upon His heart, and lives a life wholly consecrated to God." ~Ellen G. White, Southern Watchman, Aug. 1, 1905  
"BUT YOU ARE a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, THAT YOU may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light." ~1 Peter 2:9
  1. IDENTITY - "YOU ARE"
  2. PURPOSE - "THAT YOU" / "SO THAT" 
There is nothing without purpose in this world.
Who you are - Chosen People, Royal, Holy, Special.
Why you are - To praise Christ for this salvation.
Salvation in Christ makes us distinct.   
Even in the Old Testament, in Exodus 19:5-6:
"Now if you obey e fully and keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession. Although the whole earth is mine, you will be for me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.' These are the words you are to speak to the Israelites.
and in Deuteronomy 26:18-19:
"And the Lord has declared this day that you are his people, his treasured possession as he promised, and that you are to keep all his commands."
  • Different people, different places; same God, same message: I WILL MAKE YOU DISTINCT. 
To be distinct is to be saved and live as saved in Christ.
Pastor Ekoto concluded the message with an illustration about a dog named, Doggie that had a broken leg. The dog was in pain, it was laying along the roadside, crying. Nobody seems to care because people passing by were just ignoring the dog. This has hurted the dog most not until a doctor saw him and brought the dog to his house. The doctor fixed Doggie's broken leg and took care of him. When the dog was already cured, the doctor let him go. Doggie left but came back with another dog with a broken leg.
As Christians, we all have struggles, challenges and pains in life like the dog who had a broken leg. Most people may not understand what we are going through that they would just ignore us and would not bother to care. But we have Jesus as our Doctor who will fix our broken legs so that we would be healed. 
The story portrays that after we are healed, after being saved, we must go out and bring other people who have broken legs to that one Doctor who alone can heal us.
After knowing how chosen, royal, holy and distinct we are, we are now to bring people at Jesus' feet to help them know how special and peculiar we are in our Father's eyes.

Week of Prayer

Distinct: A call to be peculiar.

I woke up this morning a bit late than the usual time I am waking up for class. But I was not regretful of getting up late. I was even glad that I had consumed a few minutes of sleep because I really lack sleep these past three weeks already. So, while preparing this morning, I overheard the conversation of my dorm mates about the week of prayer. AND BOOM! In a blink of an eye, I was wide awake. I forgot that this week is the university's 2012 week of prayer.
Subject schedules were adjusted so I needed to call my classmate to confirm the time schedule of our first period class. I didn't even know the groupings of the students. Poor me, I needed to inquire and disturb persons just because I do not know things. But I believe that it is better to ask and so I found out the groupings. I hope this is right: Group A is composed of College of Business, College of Arts and Humanities, College of Education... While Group B is composed of College of Nursing, College of Dentistry, College of Theology... I forgot the others already but I was thankful I knew which group I belong and that is Group A. By the way, I need to know the groupings because the week of prayer has two sessions. One in the morning and another in the afternoon - one group in the morning, another group in the afternoon. According to the announcement posted in the dorm's bulletin, it is Group's A session that morning so I prepared not for class but for church.
I went to church alone. I was not even planning of finding a friend where I can walk with or sit with inside the church. I decided to spend that time with me and my God only. I have been so occupied with studies and other stuffs the last weeks of January so it was a really good idea for me to spend this week of prayer with God alone - talking to Him, listening to His words, and reading the Scriptures.
Still, though the morning session was really early, it was not regretful. The theme for 2012 Week of Prayer is, "DISTINCT: A call to be peculiar". Unlike my first experience of week of prayer here in AUP, the message for this whole week will only be given by one speaker and that is Pastor Christian Eugene Ecoto. Pastor Eugene is from West Africa, and is currently finishing his Masters in AIIAS.
The message was really a blessing. I was inspired to listen more that I still attended the afternoon session.
I am hoping that I can share in this blog the lessons I will be learning. 
"But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light." ~1 Peter 2:9

Date?

Day 29: A date you’d love for someone to take you on

Truth is, I haven't been on a real date, I can say. What I just know, as far as what I have read in books and what the movies show, when in a date you go to movies, eat at a restaurant, picnicking, strolling, and still eat. Haha. But the date that I would love someone to take me on could be... watch a concert. Not just any concert of a band or something like that. I'd love to watch and listen to a classical concert. You know, the piano, the strings, the percussions the wind instruments - orchestra. I already have listened and watched a live orchestra playing but not yet a concert. So I hope someone can take me but maybe not now. ;)

Few people know this.

Day 28: Something that makes you really angry.

Sarili ko:
'Pag di ko matapos-tapos ang dapat tapusin.
'Pag di ko mapilit na masunod ang gustong-gusto ko.
'Pag mabilis akong naiinis sa maliliit lang na mga bagay.
'Pag nag-antay akong ng napakatagal.
at ang huli, na iiyakan ko talaga dahil sa sobrang sama ng loob.
'pag nasira ng ibang tao ang pinakaiingatan kong mga gamit.

Bestfriend!

Day 27: A person you wished lived closer and why.

Mary Grace Barro. We knew each other's faces since little kids. But not until sometime in 2006 when we got to know each other very, very well. I did not expect that we will be close friends and that we will spend many, many times with each other. And because we already made many things together, we became best friends. But unfortunately, June 2008, she needed to go back to Saipan. Staying here in the Philippines was only temporary. What a short time, what a great distance. I miss her. I really wish she lived closer.

Jan 26, 2012

RIP

Day 25: A friend you have lost that you’re better off without/one you wish you had back.

As far as I can remember, I have never lost a friend because of misunderstandings, etc. except death.
This friend was my classmate since second grade until sixth grade. Some classmates need to part ways because most are transferring to another school while some are migrating to other countries. She transferred to another school when we were entering high school. And during the mid quarters of  first year high school, we heard the news that she already passed away. At first I thought it was all a joke because she was a very jolly girl. When we were still seatmates back then, I can remember that she was a girl full of jokes, always smiles, very good in art, a true friend. I would never thought a girl like her will be suffering from leukemia. That was when I realized why she was so skinny and pale. I had no regrets that she's been a classmate and specially, my friend. Of course I wish sometimes that I can be with her again- spent those times playing with her, coloring our nails with colored liquid eraser, and just be a child again. Well, maybe God does not want her to suffer anymore pains that is why He took her breath before getting too sick. Memories of her will always remain with me.

Ecclesiastes 7

I wasn't able to update some days in the 365 days challenge so I thought of this to post as an answer for days 18 and 19.

Day 18: Why you made your blog, why you still have it.

I made this blog to post my rants, musings, and some writing works. I am not good in speaking and showing my emotions so hopefully through this blog, I can express freely myself. And it was and still it is!
I still have it because I love it. It's a dream of mine to inspire people.
So, here's a new work I made just last week. The last two parts were made last New Year's Eve. I didn't really expect that it can be an extension of a newly made one. When I was writing the first part of this which should really be a different work, that was when I realized why some movies like Starwars first played the last 3 series of the story. It is because, maybe, lately they have realized the extension. Or somewhat and somehow like that. Errr.. I hope readers can understand. 

Day 19: Your thoughts on your family

I grew up in a God-fearing family. Grew up in house full of laughter, inspiration, and love. Expect us to be not a quiet family, but a loud one. Everyday of our lives is a music-filled one. We listen to music, we do music, we make music. I just hope neighbors are not hearing noises from us. Haha. I thank God that He made a path for my parents who were once just two strangers to meet and learn to love each other forever.  I love my family.
And as of the moment, this little piece of work is also a little piece of thought about a recent happening in my family.

There are happenings that you wouldn't want to happen again but you just cannot control it because it's part of life.

Beautiful

Day 20: What do you think makes someone beautiful?

Sa totoo lang, hangang-hanga ako sa mga babaeng magaganda. Yung tipong artistahin at mukhang model - maputi, sexy, maganda buhok, matangkad, LAHAT NA. Ang sabi pa nga eh, the symmetrical features makes one beautiful for exterior looks. But here's my perspective:
For outside beauty:
-Cleanliness. An important thing that helps a person with his/her physical appearance.
-Simplicity is beauty.
-Laging naka-smile. Nakakapanget daw kasi talaga ang laging nakasimangot.
Iba-iba naman opinyon ng tao sa pagtingin ng gwapo/maganda. Yung iba gusto maputi, yung iba naman morena. Yung iba gusto singkit ang mata, yung iba gusto malaki mata. Kaya, di ako makapag-judge ng true beauty kung for sa physical ang pag-uusapan.
For inside beauty:
Sabi nila, rare ang makakita ng isang taong maganda na on the outside, maganda pa on the inside.
-Being the real you. Yung natural ba.
-The personality. Most important nga yata 'to eh. When one person has a nice and friendly heart, people around her will already like her for whoever and whatever she is without even having a hard time making herself beautiful to other's eyes.

Jan 10, 2012

Live, Love, Laugh. Even Cry.

Day 10. What you think when you hear the words, "Be yourself."

What you think? or what comes to your mind? Well anyway, what enters my thoughts are the words, ORIGINAL, FIRST RATE, and NATURAL.
Original - you do not live to please what other people think about you. You define yourself.
First Rate - Following someone you look up to is good. But better is when you follow yourself and have someone who is inspired following you. You do not live to be someone else's imitation.
Natural- you show your real feelings. Nothing hinders you from expressing your true emotions.
How I wish I am always my real self. I am always insecure of what other people might think of what I do and what I look like. I should be comfortable of living the way I wanted to be. Then, there'll be no hesitations, no regrets, just FREEDOM.

Movie Marathon!

Day 7. A show or a movie that has changed you, and how.

Watching movies is one of my favorite hobbies. Especially now that I am a dormitorian, the only past time I can do in the dorm is watch movies. I already have 40+ copies of different movies in the Drive D of my laptop. Where did I get these? I copy from roommates, classmates, and dormmates using flash drives or sometimes just copy movies from DVD's. Unfortunately, I am using a new laptop now while my old laptop with many movies was brought to Malaysia to be used by my father. I have not watched all the movies there yet, so.. sayang. Haha. Oh well, at least I can still copy.
Too much intro. :D
I can't really remember a movie that has changed me but only inspired me. I can't also tell only one movie cause I have watched too many movies to have a favorite one. I can only name some inspirational ones, most of these are Christian movies and dramas because genres of this kind are the things that really can inspire a watcher. :D

Forrest Gump
Pursuit of Happyness
Fireproof
Flywheel
Life is Beautiful
Bridge to Terabitha
The Three Idiots
A Moment to Remember
Soul Surfer
Slumdog Millionaire
Facing the Giants
Braveheart
Everything's Fine
I am Sam
Yes Man
Karate Kid
Akeelah and the Bee
Chronicles of Narnia
Fifty First Dates
Hachi, A dog's tale

Enough for now. I can't remember the other titles. If you haven't watched some of these yet, try watching and be inspired too. 

Jan 6, 2012

I am: Shall be better.

Day 6. Something you would like to change about yourself.

Humans are never really contented with themselves. May it be the physical looks, the attitudes, possessions, and many more. That is why people envy each other. We hate, we lie, we frown with life, we lose friendships, we break our own hearts.
As I am growing up, I have observed that I am really going through this cross roads. I always imagine myself in the front of not only two diverging roads, but many. In every choice and every decision, I must only pick one road and travel in it. And now that I have just recently picked a new road, I am experiencing many struggles. One of this is the day 6 challenge. I am always looking into someone and wishing I am like that person because she is like this or he is like that. So, this is not only one thing I like to change but these aren't also all. These are some of the things I am changing about myself.


I am a pessimistic person. When I am planning or making a decision, what I foresee are negative things that might happen. Even my first impressions to people are really negative that is why it is hard for me to gain trust and build friendships that easy.

I am passive. Usually, when people surrounding me are more dominant than I, I am hesitant to make actions and express emotions. I feel really insecure causing me to always make mistakes and just feel so little.

I am inexpressive of  appreciation. It's hard for me to show gratitude, love, and care. Because of this, I forget those people who are most important in my life. I am always late in thanking and showing care, that I really, really love them and I don't want to lose them.

I am an alone person. I envy people who are good in making and keeping company. But I can be a good company, promise. Just please let me. :)

I am really lazy. Can't talk more about this, I'm feeling lazy.

So, there they are. These are not what I LIKE TO CHANGE, but these are what I AM CHANGING.
Of course, change is not an overnight process, it can take weeks, months, or even years. I just want to be sure that I am changing for better. I hope not only I will benefit but also people I am associated with.
Let us be contented with what God has blessed us with what we have and who are.. Just trust His love and grace, for things we ask according to His will is always granted. Just never forget to be thankful, He gives all.

Unreal World


Day 5: Something you would change about the world.
Hindi ko babaguhin ang mundo. Babaguhin ko ang mga tao na nasa mundo. Kaso hindi yun ang sinasabi ng Day 5. Pero kung bibigyan man ako ng pagkakataon para baguhin ang mundo hihilingin ko na isang araw lang. 
Ganito kasi gusto kong mangyari:
-Aalisin ko ang gravity. Di ko pala aalisin, babawasan ko lang. Para lahat makatesting man lang makalipad kahit kaunti.
-Lahat ng kalsada, gagawin kong ilog. Pupunta kang palengke, nakabangka. Tapos may traffic pa din at mga road signs tulad ng, "No entry, CROCODILES' ZONE." O diba, wala ng pollution, exercise pa dahil sa kasasagwan.
-Padadamihin ko pa mga puno. Masyado na kasing madami ang tao sa mundo, hindi maganda kapag hindi balance ang Oxygen-Carbon Dioxide Cycle. Ayaw ko namang puro Carbon Dioxide na malalanghap ko, di naman ako mukhang puno. 
-Gagawin kong square ang mundo. Kamusta naman kaya nun ang araw at gabi? Haha. 
-Aalisin lahat ng peste. Di lang mga pesteng insekto, pati mga pesteng tao. Hoho.
-Pati ang Philippines, makaka-experience ng Four Seasons of Weather. Gustong-gusto ng mga pinoy na ma-experience ang winter at fall di'ba? Ayan, edi mararanasan na!
-Aayusin ko ang ozone layer. Kung pwede lang tapalan yun ng vulca seal, aba'y tatapalan ko talaga. Para kahit anong init o lamig man ang danasin, kakayanin!
-Lahat ng mabangis na hayop, magiging maamo. Edi talagang bagong-bago: "The Lion is man's bestfriend." 
O kung di man lion, pwede din naman ang snake o kaya ang shark.


Isang araw lang talaga ang hihilingin ko. Makaranas man lang talaga ng kakaiba. Pero sa ilalim talaga ng mga imahinasyon na iyan, may mga seryosong bagay talaga akong gustong mangyari. Unang-una na ang paglutas sa global warming na talaga namang ang buong mundo ngayon ay nararanasan na ang mga matitinding kalamidad na dulot nito. At ang dahilan ng global warming? Polusyon. Ang sunod nga ay ang polusyon na kahit anong buti man ang nagagawa ng teknolohiya sa ating araw-araw na gawain, kung ang buhay naman ay tiyak na magiging sandali lang ang itatagal dulot ng mga sakit gawa ng polusyon, wala ding silbi. Ang ikahuli naman at ang dahilan ng polusyon ay ang tao. Kung lahat ng tao sa buong mundo ay disiplinado, di na kailangang baguhin ang mundo. 

Jan 4, 2012

Life is but a dream.. Wake up!

Day 4. How you think your life would change if you achieved your dream.

I will grow great! Great people are once dreamers, and still are dreamers as long as they never lose their dreams and realize them. I will grow great not when I finally achieved my dreams but along the way of  trying, acting, hoping, hard working, having determination and dedication and belief that I can really reach my stars.
My life can never be the same again. I already have learned the values and the right attitude in facing my dreams, I will still continue having them. I will have a contented and happy life; will be proud that I have once just imagined these things but I am already claiming and have them. Credits are not all to me. Realizing my dreams with others who are the encouragement and inspiration is already a reality of dreams.

Still, in the end, I must never forget that the dreams this world can offer are all temporary. Though I may reach the dream of gaining many profits of this world, I am to keep in mind that I am living to build a character for eternity, and that God requires me to do my very best.

Jan 3, 2012

To show us the reason to live.

Day 3. What you think your reason for being here is.

Philosophy comes into my mind when hearing or reading about the reason of existence on earth. I have asked myself many, many questions relating to this since I was starting to be a "thinking child" (children are really great philosophers.) Questions were really skeptical that I have even asked myself, "What if I am not real?" Maybe other inquiries I had like "Where does God came from?", "Is God real?", or "Why are there sufferings and trials in life?" are also questions of many people around the world. But I do not want to talk anything about Philosophy.
I was and I am still a "thinking child" (although not really anymore a child). And because I am a Christian, all my doubtful questions had answered me God. I am real and I have a reason for being here. God has placed me here on earth to have an aim and a purpose in life. Any purpose and reason, only I can choose.
And the reason?
I have chosen love. I am here because I am to love - it is the greatest of all things. I am to love God above anything else, I am to love my neighbor as I have loved myself. All that I am now is because I have a Creator - a Creator of love. He created me that is why I am here and I do not want my Creator to be disappointed with His creation. He even have to face being rejected, alone, be crucified and die just to save his creation; so why just waste having a reason of destroying others or spreading moral ruin and corruption?
Because love is my reason, I am to bear responsibilities.
The foremost responsibility is taking part to the service of God. I am to be a light bearer of the Gospel and I am to glorify God through seeking to please Him in any and every way. All these, I know, is only if God is my first, my last, and the best in everything.

Jan 2, 2012

Who lives in the pineapple under the sea?

Day 2. Something that's illegal but you think it should be legal.

Napakahirap pala neto. Buong araw ko ba naman inisip kung ano. Nagtanong na din ako sa mga room mates ko, wala din silang masabing sagot. Kaya nga sinabing illegal kasi bawal tapos mag-iisip ako ng dapat maging legal? Nadurog ang utak ko..
Para sa mga prostitutes, syempre gusto nila maging legal ang prostitution.
Para sa mga drug addicts, syempre illegal drugs ang gusto nila maging legal.
Sa mga magnanakaw, syempre, stealing ang gusto nilang maging legal.
"Piracy, it's a crime."
At eto na nga ang biglang naalala ko nung naisip ko ang stealing. Pilit ko mang itanggi, guilting-guilty naman ako at caught in the act, pero evidences are weak.
Guilty ako kasi madami na talaga akong napanuod na mga pirated DVD's at pinakagusto ko yung mga tipong 20 in 1 kasi madaming movies. Caught in the act dahil maraming witness na nanunuod ako ng mga pirated DVD's nga na ito. Not all evidences are supported kasi di naman ako nabili eh. Haha! Pero alam ko naman na crime pa din yon.
Ayun na nga, feeling ko dapat maging legal nalang ang mga pirated na yan tutal naman majority shall win kung pagbobotohan. Haha. At isa pa, makakamura kang talaga. Kahit nga ang panunuod sa sine, mas mahal pa din ATA compared sa original na copy. (Para namang nanunuod ako sa sine.)
At isa pa, ang pagdownload ng mga mp3's ay illegal din. Gawin na nga lang kasing legal. Haha.
Gumawa na lang ang gobyerno ng Pilipinas ng paraan para kumita sila pati na din ang mga producers ng movies.  At kung anong paraan man yun? Wala pa kong maisa-suggest sa ngayon. Next time nalang. :D

Pero lahat ng ito ay pawang opinyon lamang. Huwag tutularan ang piracy, masama talaga yon.

SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS!! Wala lang, may pirata kasi dun, di'ba?
