"Ganun din si God, parang... Saktan mo Sha ng saktan... Talikuran mo Sha... Di mo Sha ichochoose... Tingnan mo lang si God, sayang saya na Sha. Gusto Nyang alam mo na mahal ka pa rin Nya... Na walang nag-iba... Parang hindi mo Sha iniwan, parang di mo Sha sinaktan... Ganun si God... Yung faith na kaya parin pala akong mahalin kahit ganun na... Kahit ganun pako nagfail, nagkamali, ganun ko Sha sinaktan... Kayang kaya, pwedeng pwede parin akong mahalin pala... And I know that he learned it from God kasi, ganun si God sa kanya."

"Thank you for doing it right. Thank you for showing me how it feels right to be pursued in a way that honors God. To be celebrated and fought for, for no question. And to be loved unconditionally. Today this is my confidence, you were the man I asked God for. I'm finally home."

Happy Valentines!

Happy Valentines there! Sorry for the late post. I've been thinking of something good to post since then, if not, it's just me being lazy. Haha. Anyway, how's life?

Me?

I feel like it's been a long time already, but hey, I got a job in the Government! Isn't He so amazing? Haha. I'm currently employed in Water District - GSC and yeah, just started to pull up my sleeves here since the 1st.

Anyhows, I wrote because of something so... how should I put this... well, I believe it's one propaganda against one politician who spoke about his belief. I didn't dock my self in the controversy since I was thinking "that's how it should be, people. Wake up."

The question was about Same-Sex Marriage. If I was not mistaken, this was a hot topic last year since one country, I forgot what it was, America? granted this lifestyle to its citizen.

My say? 

I believe more than the same sex marriage that these people are fighting for, they have a root issue for it. First and foremost, do they know what marriage is? If so, why do they want to pursue something that should not be. Another, this marriage, what do they take this for? A shout out to the world that they are accepted? Ahem, listen up. (Really, when I start tapping the keyboard, I forgot about being silent about a certain topic. Sigh...) Since the very beginning, that sense of belongingness was given to you. When you are told you are not what you think you are, it is not because you are being bullied, but because you have to love yourself as who you are, not what you think you are.

I have nothing against gays or lesbians, actually, I find them cheerful people. A community that sees love the way they think it should be. But no. But I love them. And I will tell them again and again, even if it hurts them, it might even break a friendship, that they are man and woman after God's own heart.

Truth hurts. But I'll tell them anyway; not because I see how the world see a community of people like that or I want to insist what I believe. But I want them to see that loving themselves means taking full chances of enjoying who they, how they are created to be.

We hurt, our being hurts when we do what is unnatural for us. Natural. What is natural to us is what God is telling us who we are in Him. 

And this I what believe.



PS. I know what I'm taking about, literally.



Going back to the politician who just had his opinion about the question, where he apologized for the wrong use of analogy in comparing the what should-not-be in the same-sex marriage and seriously expressed his deep sorry for everyone who've been hurt. Is it too much to forgive him when he was just a response from a stimuli given? 

I am not for the politician nor against the lgbt community. But here's my stand: I don't support the same-sex marriage because I do believe in marriage, I believe in the institution of man and woman before God, blessing them the privilege of what should be in the context of marriage.

People, wake up! How will you use that freedom my friend, if what you're fighting for is a lie? Don't you know that real acceptance of ourselves comes from knowing that we are created by God the way we are? That freedom is useless if what we're pursuing a facade notion? To think that this same-sex marriage has a lot to say about marriage - correcting this generation's trash mentality about it and taking for granted what should be only in the bounds of marriage.

I believe in marriage. I believe that it is to unite a man and woman to fulfill God's purpose. I believe that we are created man first, then woman after. I believe that it really takes a man and a woman for a marriage to work as it should be.

I never gave a thing about Valentines day... no, not until this year.

'tis my last year as a college student and I as much as I'd like, I wanna spend it like no regrets, please - doing some silly things, you know. But I'm not that silly girl you have particularly in mind - full of liberation? Oh no, I can't. Don't ask why it's an I can't.

University Week has ended just a few hours ago. I spent the whole time accompanying and assisting our President since it's the peak of deliberating everything we're doing to the college chairpersons and the heavenly bodies as we call it.

Well, I couldn't tell it was all success. Sure we had flaws that somewhat disturbed our motto: RELAX. It was during the HIYAS pageant, we committed a wrong move which turned everything inside-out. It was later resolved after waiving it to the Student Council President and the College Chairpersons.

Over all? I wanted more. A feeling that I wanted more pressure, I want to atone (to redeem) what was wrongly done. Because indeed, it was a heartfelt learning I brought from that short-time experience. The people that I met, were truly amazing, I can see their leadership and humbleness, their kindness and joy in working with eachother.

Spending time with bunch of new faces didn't become a factor for us not to unite. And this is how I spent my first ever acknowledge valentine's day. And most importantly, this special day also tells us to thank God for allowing us to have a steadfast heart through out the years.

So here's something I cuddled over for the week. I actually don't have pictures from being a part of COA because I have this feeling that I won't stand having a separation anxiety for a week or so specially that my remaining days as a college buddy are already countable. So enjoy~
