Have a break!

I think I deserved to give myself a break and I thanked God for the wisdom, strength, and peace He gave. I think I did great in the midterms. =)

Tantalizing Eye

When I woke up, my left eye was itching and when I looked in the mirror… Boom! At first I don’t want to go to school because of this ‘bukol’ in my left eye but I must because we have an exam in WORLDLIT. So I took the test in WORLDLIT and when I passed the paper, our prof. said “Oh Paul you have a tantalizing eye!” Is that a compliment or insult? Anyways, I just pray that it will be gone tomorrow.

Lunch with Mafe in Select



Block meeting after lunch.

Last practice for the 'Ati-atihan'.

Vhong, Cha (our choreographer), and I (see my left eye).

The pressure is on!

This week was a roller coaster! Tomorrow will be our midterm week and a lot of projects and case studies are needed to pass. I usually sleep around 9 or 10 but for this coming week, I think I’m obliged to stay until midnight. Anyways, I know I can surpass all these trials with the help of God!

church beside our school

When I heard this song, it became the prayer of my heart for the people that surround me.

ALL DAY

Coda:
Anyone around can see
Just how good You’ve been to me
For all my friends who don’t know you

I PRAY THAT YOU WOULD SAVE THEM TOO

Singleness is a blessing

Josh, my former classmate, and I had a great conversation. It’s about LOVE. He asked me if I have someone special this coming Valentine’s day. I said, “Yes, my mom and my sister. But if your talking about ‘someone special’… none! For me, it’s the FIRST and LAST.” Then he asked me to continue…

One thing I’m thankful about is that, at the early stage, I already made a vow between God and I that I will wait for that ‘special someone’. She will be the first and the last. Now, some of you would say, “Ay ang corny!”, “Walang thrill.”, “Magsawa ka na hanggat maaga pa kasi hindi mo na ‘yan magagawa pag tumanda ka na!” And even someone asked me, “Paul pa’no kayo magtatagal eh hindi mo nga siya ganun kakilala? Siguradong hindi kayo magtatagal!” Well, it is so simple! God always gives us the best. Let say I am a father and I have a son. My son wants to receive a gift. Of course, as a father I want him to receive the best gift. Can you see now the logic? It is the same as having that ‘special someone’ to be the first and last girl in your life. If you’re thinking, “Mag-aaway kaya kayo?” Problem is design to strengthen the relationship of the couples or lovers, not to destroy both of you.

Personally, I already prayed for my future wife but that doesn’t mean that I don’t have ‘crushes’. My ideal girl must have these qualities: sings well, makes me laugh, and must be Born Again Christian. But what makes me turn-on is that if the girl is ‘BANLAG’. She’s somewhere out there! Waiting for me… Har! har! har!

Then Josh asked me, “So who is that ‘special someone’? And how will you know that she is the ONE?”

Pray. Just asked God to reveal the right partner for you. Now if you’re already at the pinnacle of finding that ‘special someone’, maybe God is calling you to be a full time servant. Now don’t give up. Keep in mind that ‘Singleness is a blessing!’ You are blessed!!

Pressured?

Two weeks from now, we’re going to have our midterm exam for the 3rd term but still, I can’t feel the pressure. I have plenty of time to sleep, to watch T.V., and even to meet with my friends. I guess it’s too early to be pressured in school.

Youth Babad

I’m so overwhelmed of what happened. Everything went very well. I really prayed and prepared for this one. Seeing the youth jumping and lifting their hands for God was superb! That’s one of my prayers! Har! Har! Har! This time I brought my camera. =)

Lunch with my cousin, Ghennera, in Wendy's

Since I’m gonna lead the service, I asked my cousin to take some shots while I’m in the stage.

The pictures turned out well and I really appreciate her effort. She even went to the side of the stage to take some shots of me. Thanks!!!

I'm on Fire!

I will be leading our youth praise and worship tomorrow. I’m so excited and nervous ‘cause it’s my first time. Here’s the line up of the songs.

PRAISE:
I’m living for Jesus
Now that You’re near
In Freedom
Free

WORSHIP:
I adore You
Forever
Always

Bought a c.d. of Hillsong United - More Than Life last Saturday =)

ALWAYS

Did you rise the sun for me?
Or paint a million stars that I might know your majesty?
Is your voice upon the wind?
Is everything I’ve known marked with my maker’s fingerprints?

BRIDGE:
Breath on me
Let me seek your face
Ever I will seek you

CHORUS:
‘Cause all you are
Is all I want, always
Draw me close, in your arms
Oh God, I wanna be with you

Can I feel you in the rain?
Abandon all I am to have you capture me again
Let the earth resound with praise
Can you hear as all creation lives to glorify one name?
