The Chimes
June 13, 2004
I have two chimes in my room. Mga give aways sa mga kasal. Ang sarap nilang pakinggan. The sound is soothing and relaxing pero they produce those sounds kapag nahihipan lang sila ng hangin. Pwede din pala kapag nilalaro sila ng mga taong walang magawa sa buhay.
So what is the point? Chimes create a sound when driven by the wind. If there is no wind there will be no sound. Lahat ng bagay sa mundo ay nangyayari kasi may dahilan, may pinagmumulan. Kapag nawala na yung sound wala na din yung source. Ang gulo ko. Hindi ko na naman ma explain yung gusto kong sabihin. I always have trouble explaining the things that matters to me.
At least nakikita nyo pa din yung kaguluhan sa mga explanations ko. It only goes to show that I’m still here… and that what I am saying still matters.
Weakends
June 11, 2004
Weekend na! Salamat naman at medyo nabawasan ang pressure as the week ends. It was a tough one. Nakakapagod. Para akong trumpong pabalik-balik sa magkabilang dulo ng daigdig. There were times that I felt na parang I’m on this on my own.
Yesterday may iyakan session na nga yata sa mga bataan ko. I know na mas mahirap para sa kanila kaya I tried to loosen up the situation. Buti na lang today we received the help we needed. Nakahinga hinga ng kaunti.
Marami pa ding dapat gawin. Data that needs to be gathered and presented. Mag-aaral pa, magco-compare, at uulitin na naman ang lahat ng ito next week.
Next week uli… ![]()
What The Hill!
June 7, 2004
OWN YOUR HILL, DON’T SHARE A MOUNTAIN. Be the best of what you do, not the second best at what everybody else is doing. Hills are smaller than mountains, but owning your hill always make you richer and happier than sharing a mountain. Define your area of expertise, and dominate it completely ~Anonymous
This part of an email message strucked me the moment I read it. Since then I wanted to have my own hill. Something that is solely mine. Something to be accountable for. Whose success or failure will depend on my actions. Now I know why they say that we should be careful on what we wish for.
I need time to adjust for now. it came very sudden and there is a lot to be prepared, recorded, monitored, and update. Ang laki laki ng burol!!! Well for me, that is… :sad:
Solid Rock
June 6, 2004
I have two full jars of rocks plus a couple of excess more. Ewan ko ba pero naging hobby ko na talaga ang mag collect ng mga rocks. Everytime na may friend ako that will be going somewhere far at tatanungin ako kung anong gusto ko, bato na lang ang pinapa-uwi ko. Hindi na siya gagastos and at the same time a test on how far will he go searching for a good piece of stone.

personal kong pinulot sa buhanginan ng Puerto Galera
Nakaka-inggit ang mga bato. They look so firm. Parang hindi basta basta matitinag. Parang alam na alam nila kung saan sila dapat lulugar and will stand up for their own place in this world. how I wish I can be as firm as they are. Once na nag decide, will be able to stand up on that decision. Be willing to suffer the pain, hurts, and losing for that decision. I have much more to learn.
In His Steps
June 3, 2004
I just want to share this excerpt from the book “In His Steps” by Charles Colson:
“I want to do something that will cost me something in the way of sacrifice. I know you will not understand me. But I am hungry to suffer for something. What have we done all our lives for the suffering, sinning side of Raymond ((the city in which Rachel live))? How much have we denied ourselves or given of our personal ease and pleasure to bless the place in which we live or imitate the life of the Saviour of the world? Are we always to go on doing as society selfishly dictates, moving on its little narrow rounds of pleasure and entertainments, and never knowing the pain of things that cost?”
~ Rachel Winslow to her mother
Head Banger

Life is constantly changing and most of the times, it is changing so fast. When you are quietly doing your daily routine, bang! It hits you bad. You try to adjust and cope up with the changes and try to see the positive side of all that happened. You are slowly learning to accept that it wasn’t all that bad after all. You make plans for your new life and then it hits you again one more time after 32 days… BANG! :sad:
