Score Board

               Mam follow up ko lang po yung leave form ko for vacation, tapos na po ba? "Yes It’s done, by the way here’s your evaluation" (sabay abot sa akin yung evaluation ko for 1 year) di pa ako na kaka one year sa work ko pero binigyan na nya ako ng evaluation yun naman yung karaniwan dito maaga ang mga bagay bagay lalo na pagdating sa evaluation.

               Tumayo ako sa isang tabi at unti unting binabasa ang evaluation score ko, habang iniisa isa ko ang bawat category kung saan ako binibigyan ng puntos, aba aba aba maganda nga performance ko sa bawat category na nakikita ko, nakakatuwa kasi mukhang nakikita talaga kung ano ang mga ginagawa ko at na itutulong ko sa department namin.

               Ang sarap ng pakiramdam habang nakikito ko kung anong score ang ibinibigay sa akin.  Hanggang nakarating ako sa isang category hala bakit ganito score ko ditto ???? inilit ulit kong basahin ang category na ito (sa isip isip ko do I deserve this score) bakit mababa score ko dito “Willingness to help others” totoo ba itong nakikita ko na score?

               Medyo na kakadismaya at yung tipong parang hindi ko maisip o matanggap na yun lang ang score ko sa category na iyun.   Sabay nag salita si head nurse “ When you’re done just right your comments below” ok Mam.

               Matapos kong mabasa at pag munimunihan ang evaluation ko pinasa ko na din.

____________________________________________________________________

               Morning shift was over I am from 7am-7pm , time to go home este sa accommodation pala naming (may accommodation flat kami provided by the Hospital free lahat yun food, water, electricity and even transportation (just a back ground info bro) ).

               Walang internet connection sa dahil nag uupgrade itong network provider namin.  Naisipan kong ipagpatuloy na basahin yung book na binabasa ko. ( The Five People You Meet In Heaven )

               Hala di maalis sa isip ko yung score ko dun sa evaluation, may mga tanong tulad ng, talaga? bakit? yun talaga yun? (move on zeb yan ang paulit ulit na iniisip isip ko).

               Napag isip isip ko sa bagay na nangyari.  Marahil nga sa paningin ng ibang tao tayo ay parang wala lang tayo o di kaya ay di napapansin.  Yan siguro ang basehan natin sa ibang bagay, kung ano lang ang nakikita at napapansin natin dun lang tayo bumabase sa kung anong literal na kikita ng mga mata natin.

               Bigla kong na realized sa paningin ng ibang tao madali silang humusga sa kung ano loan gang pamantayan nila.  Pero iba ang Panginoon alam niya kung ano ang kaya mong gawin at kung anong kaya mong ibagay ng buong kakayahan at lakas mo. Sabi nga sa salita niya “Your work is not in vain” “Blessed are those who are humble” itong mga salitang nagaling sa Panginoon ang nagbibigay ng pag-asa sa akin sa kung anong naranasan ko ngayonga araw na ito.

 “Willingness to help other” 3.5

And my score "Overall work performance 4". Praise be unto God.

Score 1-5 , 5 being the highest.

I Miss Summer Youth Camp

Almost every churches is having their annual Youth Camp in their respective Christian Organization, this is where they gather all the youth to meet some other Christian Youth where lot's of activities that is in store for the youth participants, and of course a time to reflect and hopefully strengthen their faith to the Lord.


I really miss summer youth camp, where I find new friends sharing the same faith as mine and talking with them as if we know them for so long, and i believe that’s the power of Holy Spirit that you are comfortable enough to talk with them even if you don’t know them that much.

Of course being on fire with the Lord after the camp is really an amazing feeling that we can share to our church mates and even in the community.

But the big test for us being a Christian is that on how far our being “on fire” with the Lord would last?

Graduation Day You made It!

Lot’s of  wishes, gratitude, greetings and even respects as they leave their own school proper. It’s Graduation Day!

Everyone knows that graduations or commencement exercises are very important in a person’s life. A graduation signals a person’s first step into the “real world” – a world where the true strength of character, skills as well as knowledge are put to the test.


This is why if you know someone who’s graduating, you must extend heartfelt graduation wishes that are sure to remind that person how to act, think and survive in the real world.

Most of our facebook timelines are full of pictures and greetings to those students who made it until today. I found this heartwarming article about Graduation as I was browsing my facebook account, let me share this to you all Graduates, not only for those Graduates but also to all of my reads.

TO THE GRADUATES ON THEIR LAST DAY AS STUDENTS AND FIRST DAY AS PROFESSIONALS

Photo Credits to http://russellraven.tumblr.com/

One day a teacher asked her students to list the names of the other students in the room on two sheets of paper, leaving a space between each name.

Then she told them to think of the nicest thing they could say about each of their classmates and write it down.

It took the remainder of the class period to finish their assignment and, as the students left the room, each one handed in the papers.

That Saturday, the teacher wrote down the name of each student on a separate sheet of paper, and listed what everyone else had said about that individual.

On Monday, she gave each student his or her list. Before long, the entire class was smiling.

"Really?" she heard whispered.

"I never knew that I meant anything to anyone!" and, "I didn't know others liked me so much." Were some of the comments.

No one ever mentioned those papers in class again. She never knew if they discussed them after class or with their parents, but it didn't matter. The exercise had accomplished its purpose. The students were happy with themselves and one another.

That group of students moved on. Several years later, one of the students was killed in Vietnam and his teacher attended the funeral of that special student. She had never seen a serviceman in a military coffin before. He looked so handsome, so mature.

The church was packed with his friends. One by one, those who loved him took a last walk by the coffin. The teacher was the last one to bless the coffin. As she stood there, one of the soldiers, who acted as pall bearer, came up to her.

"Were you Mark's math teacher?" he asked.

She nodded: "Yes."

Then he said: "Mark talked about you a lot."

After the funeral, most of Mark's former classmates went together to a luncheon. Mark's mother and father were there, obviously waiting to speak with his teacher.

"We want to show you something," his father said, taking a wallet out of his pocket.

"They found this on Mark when he was killed. We thought you might recognize it."

Opening the billfold, he carefully removed two worn pieces of notepaper that had obviously been taped, folded and refolded many times.

The teacher knew, without looking, that the papers were the ones on which she had listed all the good things each of Mark's classmates had said about him.

"Thank you so much for doing that," Mark's mother said. "As you can see, Mark treasured it."

All of Mark's former classmates started to gather around.

Charlie smiled rather sheepishly and said, "I still have my list. It's in the top drawer of my desk at home."

Chuck's wife said, "Chuck asked me to put his in our wedding album."

"I have mine too," Marilyn said. "It's in my diary."

Then Vickie, another classmate, reached into her pocketbook, took out her wallet and showed her worn and frazzled list to the group.

" I carry this with me at all times," Vickie said, and without batting an eyelash, she continued: "I think we all saved our lists."

That's when the teacher finally sat down and cried. She cried for Mark and for all his friends who would never see him again.

The density of people in society is so thick that we forget that life will end one day. And we don't know when that one day will be.

So please, tell the people you love and care for, that they are special and important. Tell them, before it is too late..

Stand strong, Stand in faith.

           

           “…stand and see the salvation of the Lord…” (II Chronicles 20:17, NAS)

Do you ever find yourself avoiding a difficult situation? Many people today run when things get hard. They run from their problems. They run from responsibility. They run from people they don’t like. They run from the past. They run from anything that makes them uncomfortable. Instead of facing the issue and dealing with it, they look for the path of least resistance, which isn’t the path to victory. If we are going to embrace all that God has for us, we have to learn how to face our challenges head on.

Notice that today’s verse doesn’t say, “Keep running until you see the salvation of the Lord.” It doesn’t say, “Bury your head in the sand until God delivers you.” It doesn’t say, “Worry all night and try to figure things out until a miracle takes place.” No, God wants us to stand strong, set our faces like a flint, and fight the good fight of faith. And the good news is you don’t have to do it in your own strength! God is on your side. He’s equipped you with His supernatural power to overcome every obstacle.

Today, know that God is with you. He is for you. You are equipped to overcome. Stand strong, stand in faith, knowing that you will see the salvation and deliverance of Almighty God in every area of your life!

We are so busy growing up, we often forget they are also growing old.

               Your parents, they give you your life, but then they try to give you their life.  This is part of the essence of motherhood, watching your kid grow into her own person and not being able to do anything about it.

              Parents work hard to provide a meaningful life for their children.  Appreciating parents shows them their children care.  Honoring parents involves acknowledging their hard work and making a few changes in habit. Doing so will positively impact the relationship that parents and children have with each other.

                    This pic really brought me to tears. I was deeply moved.  I don't only see a very caring son but a loving mom who did a great job raising him.  She deserves every ounce of love and care. May God bless them. As for me, there's nothing I wouldn't do for my parents and love-ones ,as they greatly deserve it. 

Love your parents.  We are so busy growing up, we often forget they are also growing old.

How much do you love your parents? What can you do for them?

My Heart Beats For You

               I was wondering how to celebrate a valentines with a special someone, could I prepare to choose a beautiful blooming flower, look for a chocolate that it is not too sweet and what simple note to put in a special cards. What to wear on the day of valentines and what perfume will I put on.  Geez for sure the pressure will fall upon me.  And the expectation that I need to meet from her. 

               There are so many preparation to make just to fit in in just one perfect moment. And for sure you want to make all the things goes well base in what you have planned, again just to fit in in one perfect moment.

               No date this valentine doesn't make you look pathetic and cast out.  People having a special someone to celebrate on the Valentine's Day doesn't mean they have the perfect relationship and they are the most happy partners in the whole world. Yours is yet to come in a unexpected way and in a most meaningful moment. It's worth the wait for sure.

               I find no wrong in celebrating a valentines day,  this month when we are bombared with  the commercialism of Valentine's Day, take a minute and think about on where and whom your heart really beats.  Wouldn't be much better gift you could give to the author of love who is Jesus instead of a box of chocolate and a expensive flower why not give spend an intimate time alone with Him.

               I am praying that every beats of  heart is for Jesus and I want to feel Him inside my heart.

               Today, step out and show others what real love is.  Every act of kindness is a seed that will produce a harvest in your own life in return.  Let your love be in word and in action and watch how Jesus pours out His blessing in ever area of your life.

               My Jesus, my heart beats for you. I love you with all my heart and with full of passion, You to me are everything, my love, my best friend, my life and my future.

Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.

Judging a person doesn't define who they are. It defines who you are.

               Naka upo ako sa isang waiting area sa Ospital habang nag hihintay na matawag ang pangalan ko para mag pa check up ng mata. Madaming tao akong nakikita, palakad lakad, tatayo, uupo, nag babasa ng dyaryo , umiinom ng kape, nag kakalikot ng celllphone, may nagkukuwentuhan, nag tatawanan at may nag iisa lang (madalas akong mag isa sa lahat ng lakad) hindi dahil sa wala akong kaibigan, mas gusto ko lang talagang mag isa madalas.

               Ilang beses na ba tayong na husgahan ng ibang tao dahil sa uri ng ating pananamit, pagsasalita, kilos at direksyon sa buhay, sa musika na pinapakinggan mo,kung anong hitsura mo, kung paano ka makitungo sa ibang tao, kung sino ang mag sinasamahan mong grupo ng tao sa bagay ganun din naman tayo madali nating husgahan ang isang tao batay sa nakikita lamang natin.

               Masakit mahusgahan ka ng ibang tao batay lamang sa kanilang pamantayan, at sigurado eto ang sasabihin mo "OK lang di naman totoo" pero deep in side masakit parin ang mahusgahan ng hindi totoo, apektado ka parin kahit papaano.

               Sinasabi sayo ng mga tao na maging totoo ka "be yourself" pero sa kabila ng pagpapakatotoo mo huhusgahan ka naman nila napaka ironic.  Kahit ako mismo dumadating sa puntong nanghuhusga ng isang tao base lamang sa nakikita ko, alam ko mali. Pero naiisip ko judging a person doesn't define who they are.  It defines who you are. Tama hindi ba?

Blogger Not Found

               Nagising ng maaga dahil sa sobrang lamig 5°C walang magawa kundi buksan nalang ang laptop dahil di rin naman ako makakatulog ng maayos, naisipan kong buksan at bisitahin ang blog ko at subukang bisitahin ang lahat ng nasa blog roll ko, halo halong emosyon ang naramdaman ko at nasurpresa ako sa mga nakita ko.

               Naisipan kong mag blog hopping sa kadahilanang nawala and nasa side bar blog list ko

Marami talagang nagbabago sa mundo ng blogging, napatunayan ko yan sa pag bisita ko at pag daan sa lahat ng nasa blog roll ko, oo lahat binisita ko inisa isa ko ang mga blog na ito na miss ko kasing mag blog hopping at mag iwan ng marka sa chat box ng mga kasamahan sa blogging.

               Nakakatuwa dahil karamihan eh bago na ang mga hitsura ng mga blog ninyo ang ilan hanggang ngayun walang pagbabago sa hitsura ng blog which is good parin. Ang daming mga add ons na widgets, daming applications, at kahit mga followers and dami na rin ang sumusubaybay.

               Ang ibang blogger na dati ay kakulitan ko sa chat box, ngayon ay mga bigating blogger na at mukhang kilala na talaga sa larangan ng blogging, nakakahiya na tuloy makipag kulitan. Ang dami nading mga bagong blogger nakakaaliw talaga.

              Nakakalungkot yan ang mas lamang na naramdaman ko sa pag bisita sa mga blog, ang dami ng nawala sa mundo ng blogging ang mga blog na parati kong binibisita para magbasa ng bagong post nila ngayun wala na sila. (BLOGGER NOT FOUND).  Maaaring may pinag kakaabalahan na sila ngayon at di na maharap ang pag bo-blog.

              Hindi ko masasabi kung hanggang kelan ako mag bo-blog, sa totoo lang mga ka-blog dati ang takbo ng utak ko sa pag bo-blog ay padamihan ng followers, padamihan ng bumabasa, padamihan ng pwedeng i-post at padamihan ng comments sa post mo, in a way achievement nga naman.

               Mag susulat parin ako ng mga bagay bagay ng tumatakbo sa utak ko, di baleng walang bumisita sa blog ko di na big deal yun. Ngayun mas masarap magsulat pag di mo iniisip ang expectation ng ibang tao sa ipopost mo. Basta mailabas o maipahayag ko.  Tama nga I write to express not to impress.

Sa Unang Pagkakataon

               Limang buwan ang lumipas madaming nangyari sa buhay ko na hindi ko inaasahan. Napadpad sa isang lugar na di ko inaasang mapupuntahan ko balang araw. Walang magagawa nandito na ako.

               Ang init, kahit ihip ng hangin napaka init, eto na nga at nandito na ako. Sinalubong ng isang lalaki na may bandana sa ulo na kulay pula at puti (checkered) kinuha ang isa sa pinaka mahalagang bagay sa buhay ko, wala akong magawa ni tumanggi hindi ko magawa kailangang sumunod sa kagustuhan niya binigay ko ang (passport) ko. 

              Sinundo kami ng isang sasakayan para dalhin sa pupuntahan namin, pumpwesto ako sa harapan dahil di pwedeng mag sama ang babae at lalaki. Nagtatanong ako sa sarili ko eto na ba yun at di makapaniwala sa mga nakikita, matataas na building, maliwanag at maayos ang highway at hindi mausok ang mga sasakyan, aba aba ok eto ha.

              Limang buwan ang lumipas madaming nangyari sa buhay ko na hindi ko inaasahan. Napadpad sa isang lugar na di ko inaasang mapupuntahan ko balang araw. Walang magagawa nandito na ako.

              Sa bawat araw na dumaan habang ako ay nandito sa ibang bansa lagi kong naiisip ang mga kasama ko sa trabaho ko sa Pilipinas isang grupo ng mga tao na totoo at masaya kasama, ang pamilya ko sa Pilipinas walang araw na di ko sila naalala. May mga gabi na basa ang unan ko dahil sa di ko mapigilang maalala ang mga mahal ko sa buhay.  Walang magawa kundi alalahanin nalang sila dahil balang araw muli ko silang makikita, pasasaan ba at matatapos din ito.

              Napakabilis ng mga araw at buwan ko dito ang takbo ng buhay ko dito trabaho---bahay---trabaho---bahay, pero minsan lumalabas din kasama ang pinsan ko.

              Madami pang bagay na pwedeng mangyari sa akin habang ako ay nandito walang makakapigil sa mga pangarap ko, lahat ng mga ninanais ko sa buhay ko inaalay ko sa pamilya ko at higit sa lahat sa Panginoon na syang gumagabay sa akin habang ako ay malayo sa mga mahal ko sa buhay.

               Limang buwan ang lumipas madaming nangyari sa buhay ko na hindi ko inaasahan. Napadpad sa isang lugar na di ko inaasang mapupuntahan ko balang araw. Walang magagawa nandito na ako.

               December 16 gumising ako ng ibang iba walang sumalubong sa akin at humalik at yumakap na kapamilya nakakalungkot walang babati sa akin sa unang pagkakataon ng Happy Birthday anak, Happy Birthday donzil, Happy Birthday apo, Happy Birthday zeb :'( unang karaawaan ko na hindi ko kasama ang buong pamilya ko, napakalungkot dahil sa araw na ito walang babati sa akin at hahalik na kapamilya ko :'( Walang magawa kundi alalahanin nalang sila dahil balang araw muli ko silang makikita, pasasaan ba at matatapos din ito.

(naiiyak ako seryoso) Mahal na mahal ko po kayo ng buong buo :'( Walang magawa kundi alalahanin nalang sila dahil balang araw muli ko silang makikita, pasasaan ba at matatapos din ito.

              Decemebr 24 Unang pagkakataon na sinalubong ko ang pagpasok ng Christmas sa trabaho, sa bansang di nag didiwang ng kapaskuhan na tila ba'y normal na araw lang sakanila ang araw na ito, pero sa mga Pilipino isang malaking kasiyahan ito. Ang dati kong kasamang mag diwang ng kapaskuhan ay mga kamag anak ko, pero ngayon mga kasama ko sa trabaho.


              December 25 Dahil galing ako ng night duty nung December 24 natulog lang ako buong mag hapon dahil pagod sa duty, ang mga inaanak ko sa Pinas pinaubaya ko na muna sa aking mga magulong sila muna ang haharap sa mga inaanak ko pero syempre nagpadala ako ng pera para sa mga inaanak ko ;)

              Bagong Taon Bagong Buhay Bagong Pag-asa Bagong Karanasan na malayo sa pamilya sa unang pagkakataon.

              Limang buwan ang lumipas madaming nangyari sa buhay ko na hindi ko inaasahan. Napadpad sa isang lugar na di ko inaasang mapupuntahan ko balang araw. Walang magagawa nandito na ako.


Praise be to God and God Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.

Life As A Palm Tree

"The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree..."(Psalm 92:12, NKJ)


         Have you ever seen a palm tree in the midst of a great storm? That tree may be bent so far over that it's almost touching the ground, but when the wind finally stops, that palm tree bounces right back up.  What's interesting is that while that palm tree is hunched over under the pressure of the storm, it is actually growing stronger?


         The reason God said we'd flourish like a palm tree is because He knew there would be difficult times.  He knew things would come against us to try to seal our joy and victory.  God said, "You're going to be like a palm tree because when the storms of life blow, you are going to come right back up stronger than before.  "Nothing can hold you back! No weapon formed against you will proper.


        As you reflect on the events over the last year, remember, the storms you have encountered have only made you stronger.  You are wiser, you are more alive, and you are headed for victory.  You're brighter days are right out in front of you!


Always remember that with God on your side, nothing can hold you back!

I Want To Date A Girl Who

“Date a girl who reads. Date a girl who spends her money on books instead of clothes. She has problems with closet space because she has too many books. Date a girl who has a list of books she wants to read, who has had a library card since she was twelve.

            Find a girl who reads. You’ll know that she does because she will always have an unread book in her bag.She’s the one lovingly looking over the shelves in the bookstore, the one who quietly cries out when she finds the book she wants. You see the weird chick sniffing the pages of an old book in a second hand book shop? That’s the reader. They can never resist smelling the pages, especially when they are yellow.

            She’s the girl reading while waiting in that coffee shop down the street. If you take a peek at her mug, the non-dairy creamer is floating on top because she’s kind of engrossed already. Lost in a world of the author’s making. Sit down. She might give you a glare, as most girls who read do not like to be interrupted. Ask her if she likes the book.

Buy her another cup of coffee.

            Let her know what you really think of Murakami. See if she got through the first chapter of Fellowship. Understand that if she says she understood James Joyce’s Ulysses she’s just saying that to sound intelligent. Ask her if she loves Alice or she would like to be Alice.

            It’s easy to date a girl who reads. Give her books for her birthday, for Christmas and for anniversaries. Give her the gift of words, in poetry, in song. Give her Neruda, Pound, Sexton, Cummings. Let her know that you understand that words are love. Understand that she knows the difference between books and reality but by god, she’s going to try to make her life a little like her favorite book. It will never be your fault if she does.

She has to give it a shot somehow.

            Lie to her. If she understands syntax, she will understand your need to lie. Behind words are other things: motivation, value, nuance, dialogue. It will not be the end of the world.

            Fail her. Because a girl who reads knows that failure always leads up to the climax. Because girls who understand that all things will come to end. That you can always write a sequel. That you can begin again and again and still be the hero. That life is meant to have a villain or two.

            Why be frightened of everything that you are not? Girls who read understand that people, like characters, develop. Except in the Twilightseries.

            If you find a girl who reads, keep her close. When you find her up at 2 AM clutching a book to her chest and weeping, make her a cup of tea and hold her. You may lose her for a couple of hours but she will always come back to you. She’ll talk as if the characters in the book are real, because for a while, they always are.

You will propose on a hot air balloon. Or during a rock concert. Or very casually next time she’s sick. Over Skype.

            You will smile so hard you will wonder why your heart hasn’t burst and bled out all over your chest yet. You will write the story of your lives, have kids with strange names and even stranger tastes. She will introduce your children to the Cat in the Hat and Aslan, maybe in the same day. You will walk the winters of your old age together and she will recite Keats under her breath while you shake the snow off your boots.

            Date a girl who reads because you deserve it. You deserve a girl who can give you the most colorful life imaginable. If you can only give her monotony, and stale hours and half-baked proposals, then you’re better off alone. If you want the world and the worlds beyond it, date a girl who reads.

Or better yet, date a girl who writes.”

When I Am Weak

In times like we are giving up, there are so many things that comes into our mind. QUIT NOW. STOP IT. DON'T GO. DO NOT FINISH.  It's easy to stop, quit, and even don't finish the race, it seems that you are putting so much effort on the things that you feel there is no reward at all.

We face all the trials in our life but what really matters is that on how you will see the positive and a purpose why you are being tested.  Maybe now we will not see what is this all about like questioning WHY ME?

But folks it's about putting our trust in Him for He promise that you are more than a conqueror  "Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us" Romans 8:37

When I am weak I know God is bigger and stronger than I ought to be.  He knows all the details of my life.  I surrender everything in His holy name.  Nothing could separate me from God.  Nothing.

Sometimes it's hard to understand life like we think that life is unfair but you know what folks I learned that God's plan may not be the easiest plan or the most popular plan, but God always has the best plan.
