Jetjet Prayed

It was his first time to pray at the pulpit. Interesting because you can see in his eyes the willingness to do it but you can see it also that he's so nervous . The good thing with him is that he is a thinker. He was assigned to pray for the tithes and offering. Jetjet is a new member to the Band of Brothers. He just level up last April 2010. From the Lambs of God Department , to the BOB which is compose of single men from secondary, tertiary, and young professionals.

Jason Udang or Jetjet was cordially welcomed in the group. There is a potential on this young man in terms of leadership which can be enhanced through training and engaging in leadership training and exposure. He is brave enough to face whatever responsibilities that is assigned to him with the supervision of the leaders of the BOB. I am thankful and blessed that every young man who joined the BOB has eagerness and willingness to take the challenge as long as they know whom they are serving - GOD for it is a Christ centered group.

Baungon is the Place

This is the place of my cousin named Erva Pahunang. It's a nice place to visit but the only problem is the road because it's rough and too dusty since it is still under construction. The beauty of this place was really great since their house is located on the hillside and you can see the mountains and a lot of trees on the other side .  My fiancee and I decided to go swimming on the flowing water near their house. It was very clean and the coldness of the water was so refreshing. We also had the chance to eat native chicken and of course Tilapia, fresh from their pond. She also gave us apple mango. We did not stay too long but we really cherished the moment we had with my cousin's family. To Momi Ervs Salamat "Thank You So Much" we love you. :)

Caving Adventure

This is one of the memorable moments in my life wherein my co-teachers invited me to go caving in Initao. I was really curious about it since it's my first time in caving adventure. A lot of fears came into my mind and I just told my self that i can do it. Although there were a lot of negative feedback's but I took it as i challenge to my self. The picture on the upper right side was taken on my way going down to the cave. It was a little bit difficult because it s too dark. I was trying my best to go down so that i could see it's beauty and what's inside the cave. Going down the cave really needs a lot of effort and of course the help of a flash light which my friend was holding while i was going down to brighten the path where I was going to. Aside from this, you need also to crawl so you can go to to the other side of the cave. There was a little danger that you might get hurt when a portion of your body will be hit by the wall of the cave since the way going through it s very narrow. That's what excites me because there are a lot of things you need to do in an extra ordinary way. Thank God for this experience. It really builds the stamina and there should be no chance to be weak in order for you to exit in this cave because it takes a lot of strength and there is this feeling of fulfillment and you can really say "WOW! this is it"! Going up to the exit also needs a lot of effort since you need to climb through the stone wall and pass through a very narrow way going outside the cave. It feels great that i was able to achieve it by trying the best that I can. The best part of this adventure is the experience of caving adventure.

Silent Killer

I was so alarmed of the danger of having no idea about the contents of the food I am eating, as long as it taste good I just eat it. Even before i usually eat in fast food  because of the burger and french fries that my stomach craves to eat more and more of it. I am not conscious of my health before as long as my weight increases that would be better. What ever comes into my mind and i feel like eating it, i would go for it. As time goes by, many sickness and diseases are discovered. I was so shocked when our pastor's wife had a check up, the finding was already a lung cancer and it is already stage 4. I asked myself how and why this happened? I know that she is a fighter and she can recover on it. That was the time when they introduced the alternative medicine. It helped her a lot and you can't just believe it that her cancer cells were gone already, it's amazing and thank God for this.

I was educated that the illnesses or diseases that we can possibly get it from the food we eat. We might not notice it but the elements or the substance on it is killing us softly, just like in the line of a song killing me softly with this food killing me softly. One of these harmful substances are the Monosodium glutamate that makes the taste of the food even better but it is deadly because it really damages the brain cells; and Aspartame, name for an artificial, non-saccharide sweetener used as a sugar substitute in many foods and beverages . Because its breakdown products include phenylalanine, aspartame is among the many substances that must be avoided by people with phenylketonuria (PKU), a rare genetic condition. One thing that I have realized is that we only have one life to live and this life is only borrowed from our God so let's take care of it.

Pamalayi

It was May 23,2010 that i decided to take another step in our relationship.Facing the parents of my fiancee and her relatives and formally put things into proper perspective which is the "WEDDING". This is what we called pamalayi or pamanhikan. I am so blessed for the support of my family who really shared their time, efforts and love. Even to our papas - Ptr John and te Grace for all out support and prayer. I become who i am today because of these people who help me a lot in my daily walks in life. It was really great that both parties met and had a fellowship together. We also announced the preparations we had for the wedding, the wedding date and venue, and the people who will take part in the celebration.

The blueprints of the wedding plans are drawn or made known during this occasion. The pamanhikan is often hosted by the bride's family as the groom and his folks visit them to formally ask their daughter’s hand in marriage and discuss plans for the upcoming wedding over dinner. This can be an uneasy situation if it's the first time for both parties to meet. The soon-to-weds may feel a little awkward (nervous even) seeing and listening to their parents consult each other on matters like their wedding budget, guest list and the like.I just pray that all things work together for good for those who love God.

2nd Anniversary

May 19,2010 is our second year in our relationship. A time to reminisce the moments for what has been achieved. There are a lot of problem that were hurdled and thank God with His wisdom and strength we overcome it and by that we become victorious . I am so blessed to have a partner in life to be in the person of Chrisanne Abaa, she is really great to be with and a loving person, she is also a God fearing person.

I am thankful celebrating with her eventhough i was not feeling well at that time because i was having a sinusitis but its not about what i felt at that time but what matters most is the time we have shared together. To my palangga i love you so much and thank God for giving you to me.Happy Second Anniversary!

SUNGKA is the name of the Game

It is a traditional Filipino game where it needs technique and strategies to win the game. It seems simple but it needs your mind to work on what moves you are going to make. It was May 16, 2010  when Rj and Ray played the game well. It was quite good and fun. I played this game 3 years ago. I find it good and a little bit relaxed but it needs your mind to think well. This game is also called "Bantumi". Filipinos love this game because of the substance in it. They use either shell or marble. To be more specific regarding the description and rules of the games this is the site where it helps you a lot http://www.globalpinoy.com just search the Sungka and it will give you the details about the game.
