A Girl Who

“Court her”

“I think you have a chemistry”

“She is beautiful”

“She is single”

“I have her number I will give it to you then send her sms”

“Ask her to go out”

“In our department you are the only guy who doesn’t have a girlfriend”

_______________________________________

Oh thanks, actually I also like that girl she is smart, fun and seems to be loving girl.  I planned to court her and even before you ask me to know  more about her, I already did my sort of simple research about that girl.  

But sad to say she is not the type of girl that I like.  I’m not mean and a  choosy guy but I have my own uhmmm should I say qualification / standard when it comes finding a right girl for me. I found out that she doesn’t have same faith as I have, for some it’s not a big deal but for it is a must.  

I explained this point to my workmate (actually 2 of my colleagues wants me to court these 2 diffirent girls, first girl is my workmate in which we are on the same department, second girl is in the other department.  Both of them is really a good looking girls as I must say.)

They got upset as I was explaining my point on why I am not that interested to those girls that they want me to court with. I know that they just want me to be happy seeing in a relationship because according to them I am a good guy, a God-fearing guy, a loving guy etc. etc. So they wanted me to be the boyfriend of their friends.  But I refused.

Sad part….

Both of my workmate said to me……. 

” I think you are gay”

” You are gay “

” Maybe you doesn’t like girls or you want the other one ahahahaha (they laugh)…..

” Don’t be choosy “

_______________________________________

Are they insulting me. Am I affected? Do I need to get mad?

I am just a typical, normal, average, plain guy.  

At that moment I realized more clearly what I want in a girl.

A girl who is full of grace.

A girl who is crazy in love with Jesus.

A girl who wants more Jesus in her life.

A girl who’s attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus.

A girl whom I will treat like a princess because she’s the daughter of King Jesus.

A girl on which I can hold her hands while heading to a Church for a Sunday Services.

A girl that I can present to my Mom and Dad, saying that she is the girl that God wants me to spend the rest of my life.

_______________________________________

God, make me a man after your heart and help me trust that you’re providing a woman who is after your heart, too. And while we’re both chasing after you, I pray we would bump into each other along this road, stop for a while to chat, and call the rest history. 

Proverbs 31 states, “Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last; but a woman who fears the Lord will be greatly praised.”

A Piece Of Paper

               Its been 10 months since I left Philippines to have a greener pasture and to save and prepare for my future family if God's will.  It's hard being away from the family especially when it is your first time going abroad and if you re not strong enough for sure you will struck by what they called "homesick".

               When I heard that my cousin here in Riyadh will go back home in the Philippines to have his yearly vacation and he ask me if there is any presents that I want to send back home, I bought some chocolates, chocolates and chocolates :)  And of course I ask them to send something for me in return when my cousin come here again.

               One month had passed, my cousin came back fresh from the Philippines.  And he phoned me to tell that he is already here and my family has given "pasalubong" for me, because of busy schedule for both of us 2 weeks had passed until me and my cousin met.  And handed the "pasalubong" for me.

               Let me share you this "pasalubong" given to me by my Mom. 

• Pancit Canton maybe my Mom didn't know that there is also Lucky Me Pancit Canton here ;)
• Bawang na Bawang come on' I never imagine that my mom will send me this, but I found out that my Cousin put that in the bag. ;)
• Gatsby Wax my Mom wants to be sure that I am still well groomed " Sabi ng Mommy ko gwapo daw ako, at pinaniniwalaan ko yun nyahaha, siya lang kakampi ko wag na kayong kumontra pls pls pls" nyahahaha.
• Peanut Butter my Mom knows that of all the spread, Peanut Butter is my one and only favorite, specially if it's home made Peanut Butter.
• Boxer Brief this really made me realized that Mother's know best everything, my Mom knows that I don't wear brief and that I prefer Boxer Brief of Boxer Shorts, and for that Mom you deserve a big kiss and hug ;)

               I really feel like I'm in the Philippines again after seeing this Dried Fishes wooooaaaah.  My Mom deserve my high five ;)

              This piece of paper really made my tears come down in my face, seriously guys.  I never imagine that my Mom will write a letter for me, those pasalubong is really enough for me to know that they care and love me, but this letter moves my heart and gave me strength that I needed in my stay here knowing that they are miles away from me.

            To Our Dearest Donnie,

                    With love and prayers we wish to greet you in the name of Dear Lord Jesus Christ who is the same today, yesterday, and forever Amen!
                    Nagpadala ako kay Elton ng 1 peanut butter, tuyo at dilis, mayroon din si Elton nito.  Bumuli din ako ng 2 boxer brief at 1 gatsby.  Hope you like them.
                  Ingat always at lagi kang makikipagusap kay Lord upang lagi ka nyang gabayan at pagpalain

                 Remember, we love you and we miss you so much.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               Love, Mommy

Family is a place where everyone loves you no matter what, and they accept you for who you are.

Determination

          There are time like I'm giving up in every situation in my life, yes I do lose hope, faith, patience and even determination in life.  

         My personal life has been compromised in so many ways, sometimes I feel like giving up and sometimes I want to turn my back against somethings.

          I attended a Youth Service in my home church, the youth Pastor's message was so simple yet full of reflections in life,  we had a short video clip about determination an inspirational video worth watching for.

          It's true that every accomplishment starts the decision to try. Don't worry if lose the race what matters is you passed the finished line.  Don't worry if the expectations for you is high what matters is you tried.

          We have different race tracks in life but one thing is for sure that we have similarities ... We all have finish line to reach guys.  When you don't give up... You cannot fail.

          One  of my church-mate Rox said "It's not how you started the race... It's how you finish!" a cliche word for me but so meaningful and a word to live by for me.

          What caught my attention is that when his father ran to the racetrack just to accompany his son, what a heartbreaking scenario. This reminds me of unconditional love that Jesus gave it to us.  Jesus will never leave us in times of difficulties and in times of trials. 

          When faced with mountain, I will not quit! I will keep striving until I climb over, find a pass trough or simply stay focused in your goal and everything will follow with God's help. 

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them.  For the LORD your God goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you"   Deuteronomy 31:6

Paload Nga..

Kadarating ko lang galing sa isang Hospital, sa kadahilanang nag refer kami ng pasyente na manganganak na. Susme akala ko aabutan na siyang manganak sa Ambulansya, ok lang nasa Ambulansya naman kami hindi tulad ng dati na sa tricycle nanganak ang isang pasyente (ako ang nagpaanak dun sa misis na nasa tricycle saka na ang kwento ito muna).

Dali dali kaming pumasok sa ER kasi bago kami nag refer ng pasyente may iniwan kaming pancit na mainit init pa para sa break time at malamig na Cola Coka, pag pasok ko sa ER ng Clinic namin dali daling tumapat sa aircon at nag palamig ang init kasi sa labas . (yan din  ang laging eksena ng mga kasama kong narses hayuk na hayuk sa lamig.) hay sarap sa pakiramdam heaven bro!

GAGAMBOY!

“gagamaba naman yang hawak mo!!!ipapakain ko sayu yan!” ang litanya ng kapitbahay namin sa kanyang grade school na anak., napangiti ako ng marinig ko ang mga katagang binitawan ng isang Ina sa kanyang anak na pinapagalitan..

Hindi naman ako tsismoso pero naririnig ko parin ang galit na galit naming kapitbahay sa kanayang anak.

GAGAMNANAY (Nanay)

“puro ka gagamba..”

“anong natutunan mo sa skul kanina”

“siguro pinagalitan ka nanaman ng titser mo?”

“pag ako pinatawag nanaman sa opis ng titser mo humanda ka sakin”

GAGAMBOY (anak)

“hindi naman po puro gagamba inaatupag ko”

(habang unti unti itinatago ang kahon ng posporo na may lamang gagamba sa kanyang bulsa) nyahahahaha!!!

“hindi po kami nag klase may meeting po si mam, kaya po hindi po nagalit si mam sa akin ngayun”

“kaya po hindi kayu papatawag sa opis ni Mam kasi nga po wala siya kanina” (aba may point si gagamboy nyahahahah)......

Habang sa labas ng bahay ay naghihintay at nakadungaw sa bintana ang kanyang ka-esk

wela na si Utoy. Halatang kinakabahan din si Utoy dahil sa maaaring pagalitan din siya ni GAGAMNANAY...

Hindi nga nagatagal at napansin ni GAGAMNANAY si Utoy ( naku patay tiyak papagalitan din ito)...

GAGAMNANAY

“HOY! Utoy isa ka pa puro gagamba din inaatupag mo. Umuwi ka na nga sa inyo at tumulong ka sa nanay mo. “

Nang pumasok na sa kusina si GAGAMNANAY, dali daling lumabas si GAGAMBOY at iniabot kay Utoy ang kahon ng posporo na ang laman ay gagamba.

GAGAMBOY

“Utoy wag mong gagalawin yan ha, wag mong ipanglalaban yan yari ka sakin,”

“ siya nga pala wag mong ilalaban sa gagambang tunay yan ha!” (ang gagamabang tunay ay ang mga gagamba na makikita sa mga dahon o puno maliban sa loob ng bahay) ...

“pakainin mo ng gagambang bahay yan” ( ang gagamabang bahay ay mga gagambang makikita naman sa loob lang ng bahay)

UTOY

“oo na akong bahala dito”

“siya nga pala tuloy ba tayu mamaya para mag hanap ng gagamba madami daw dun sa lote ni Aling Carmen sama ka ha, baka mauunahan tayu ni JC.

GAGAMBOY

“Oo akong bahala pupunta ako sige na uwi ka na.”

“Yung gagamba ko ha inggatan mo yari ka sakin!”

GAGAMNANAY

“ HOY HOY ano yan anong sama sama san kayu pupunta ha” (sabay patakbong umalis si Utoy)

“ hala pasok na sa loob dali!”

Ito ay base sa totoong pangyayari na aking nasaksihan sa aming kapitbahay. Inuulit ko. Hindi ako tsimoso ha.nyahahah

Panahon nanaman ng paglalaro ng gagamba, nakakaaliw ang mga bata na kung paano sila mag laro ng gagamba. Isa din ako sa nahumaling sa pag lalaro ng gagamba noong ako ay bata pa at ito ang ilan kong ginagawa noong naglalaro ako ng gagamba, (nyahaha take it from the expert)! :D

· Kahon ng posporo para dun sila ilagay lahat.

· Palapa (dahon) ng niyog upang gawing dibisyon sa loob ng posporo para madaming mailagay na gagamba.

· Iihipan ang gagamba para makatulog.

· Malumanay na pagpitik sa kahon ng posporo para magising ang gagamba na ipang lalaban.

· Wag na wag itulak ang gagamba sa bahagi ng kanilang puwet dahil ito daw ay maduduwag.

· Tuwing dapit hapon masmadaling makahanap ng gagamba sa kadahilanang sila ay gumagawa ng kanila sapot para doon mamalagi.

· Magdala ng flash light para makakita ng gagamba kung ikaw ay maghahanap pag gabi.

· Walis ting-ting para duon sila paglabanin.

Ikaw nakapag laro ka na ba ng gagamaba naging GAGAMBOY ka na ba dati? :D
