For a change, yesterday our family went to the 6pm mass in the Church of the Holy Sacrifice in UP Diliman. It was jampacked with people who seemed to be very indifferent, having blank faces while the readings and the Gospel were read.
I was just so glad that the priest (I forgot who he was, all I know that he’s a Jesuit) was able to connect to the people, and connect the Gospel and the readings in his homily.
And I will run to You To Your words of truth Not by might, not by power But by the spirit of God Yes I will run the race 'Till I see Your face Oh let me live in the glory of Your grace
Hillsongs United - I Will Run To You
Life is a big, big race. But instead of a finish line on the end of it all, there is Kuya Jess waiting there with His arms extended, ready to give us the biggest hug ever.
I just stumbled, that’s all. I’ll be ready to run again in a few. Wait for me. :)
Pumasa si Vince ng UP!!!!
HAHAHA.
I can just imagine the pressure on all of our younger siblings.
3 UP passers and counting! Hahaha
Also Mark 6:45-52. :)
Blyss - Storm
(according to Ate Lei, Blyss is Lifehouse’s former name)
How long have I
Been in this storm?
So overwhelmed by the ocean’s shapeless form
Water’s getting harder to tread
With these waves crashing over my head
If I could just see you
Everything will be alright
If I’d see you
The storminess will turn to light
And I will walk on water
And you will catch me if I fall
And I will get lost into your eyes
And everything will be alright
And everything will be alright
I know you didn’t
Bring me out here to drown
So why am I 10 feet under and upside down
Barely surviving has become my purpose
Cause I’m so used to living underneath the surface
If I could just see you
Everything will be alright
If I see you
The storminess will turn to light
And I will walk on water
And you will catch me if I fall
And I will get lost into your eyes
And everything will be alright
And I will walk on water
You will catch me if I fall
And I will get lost into your eyes
And everything will be alright
I know everything is alright
Everything’s alright
It’s been three years since I’ve encountered Kuya Jess in Days with the Lord. He’s been very real ever since.
That’s why I continue calling Him Kuya Jess. Makes me feel much much closer to Him, making Him very real. :D
Jess bless, everyone. :)
While watching my nieces Pia and Cate play from a distance (can’t go near them, virus+bacteria infected their dearest uncle), I can’t help but think that these girls would grow up together. Together as in best friend siblings forever together. Pia’s turning 5 this June, and Cate’s turning 3 this Tuesday. Not much of an age gap if you look at it.
Well, look at me and Vince, almost 1.5 years apart, and look at how we turned out.
Actually, this post is just about ME GLOATING THAT MY BROTHER MADE IT TO ATENEO COLLEGE. HAHAHA. WE PWN Y’ALL.
(darn, while editing this entry Cate throws this Christmas ball at Pia and shouts, “I’m angry now!” And while I was typing the previous sentence they’re friends again. Hahahaha. Kids.)
Sometimes I wonder why some people murder themselves academically.
Then I remembered that this dyslexic society of ours measures a person by how many unos, 4.0s, As, and line of 9s you get in your life.
That sucks. What’s so human about letters and numbers?
I found the time to type and register the url.
Ronin found the time to fix the layout.
Ronin, Josie, Doreen and I will find the time to write. :D
This is not me writing.
Another attempt. I’m doubting I’m good at this, as I found this one a bit vague.
—
Who are you?
I don’t really know.
Well then…
Huh?
Log me out.
What?
Click.
And the blinking vertical black bar just stares at me, waiting for the next clackety clacks to blacken the invisible curves and lines of the white electronic paper.
I stare back.
Log me out.
Click.
This James Blunt song was stuck in my head all morning..
I really want you to really want me
But I really don’t know if you can do that
I know you want to know what’s right
But I know it’s so hard for you to do that
And time’s running out as often it does
And often dictates if you can’t do that
But fate can’t break this feeling inside
That’s burning up through my veins
I really want you
I really want you
I really want you now
No matter what I say or do
The message isn’t getting through
And you’re listening to the sound
of my breaking heart
Yes, I had my heart broken too many times in the past year because I wanted something I really can’t get right now.
Guess what Kuya Jess told me?
Psalm 37:4
Do what the LORD wants, and He will give you your heart’s desire.
Yes Lord. :)
