Let us all be a child..

VIVA STO NINO

I

 live in tondo, manila since birth. We are a devotee of sto nino, pero hindi kami sakop ng tondo church. The sto nino de tondo was believed to be miraculous, lets go back to the history....

            As far as i remember from my mom’s story..

July 14, 1972 nawala yung santo nino sa tondo church pinaniwalaang ito ay ninakaw tapos hanggang sa araw na hindi ito naisoli sa simbahan hindi daw tumigil ang malakas na ulan at pagbaha sa kalakhang maynila..

            So ayun na nga siguro tanging matatanda na lamang ng simbahan ang makapagpapatunay ng pangyayaring iyan dahil maging ako eh hindi pa buhay ng mga panahong iyan subalit ako ay tunay na naniniwala sa kwentong iyan.

           Moving on noong bata ako lagi kami nagsisimba sa tondo church well ngayon kasi bihira na lamang pag napagtripan siguro kasi sakop nga kami ng Sta. Monica.  Sa tuwi-tuwinang matatapos ang misa sa santo nino lagi kami nagpupunta sa dulong bahagi ng simbahan. If you ever visit the church merong isang santo doon sa may dulo na nakahiga at napapalibutan ng glass sya yung nasa labas yung hindi kabilang dun sa kwarto ng mga santo (tanging mga nagsisimba o nakabisita na sa tondo church ang makakaunawa nito :P). Ayun lagi kami nagdadasal doon after ng mass tapos pag nagdadasal na ako at may umihip na malamig na hangin ang naiisip ko agad ay “yehey kakain kami sa Jollibee ni mama” which is natutuloy naman, that was a thought nung bata pa ako maging ngayong matanda na ako eh dala dala ko.

Whats the essence of this story???

Simple lang! santo nino is a reflection of the child in the verse

Matthew 18:2-6: “He called a little child and had him stand among them. And he said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. "And whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me. But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.”

           Minsan sa buhay natin kailangan natin maging bata, magpakabata, at maging mabait sa bata. Hindi porket matatanda na tayo at responsable na sa ating mga buhay eh kailangan na makalimutan natin na maging bata. Alam natin ang saya na dala ng mga bata ay kakaiba! Lalo na pag may bata sa bahay yung pagod mo sa trabaho nawawala.

            Let yourself be happy! Enjoy life! Be childish walang masama dun basta ba’t ginagamitan ng utak at responsable ka. Iexperience mo ulit yung problema mo nung bata ka pa! Piso lang masaya na tayo at sa simpleng sugat lang sa tuhod at palo ng magulang lang ang iniiyakan natin. =) Dont let the cruelty and struggles of living this world makes you forget the reality and happiness that being a child brings!

Trust Issues..

Is there a time when you realize you’re tired of trusting a person over and over again?? Time when you are already afraid of trusting a new person coming by in your life???

If there was…. I believe you've been under a very stressful, tiring, and depressing hurt with someone you loved…

It maybe a friend, family member, classmate, and even your ex or boyfriend/ girlfriend… It must have been drained all the trust you have for yourself and for other people..


If you’ve been undergone this problem, well congrats to you…. You succeed!!! Now help me to help other persons who are undergoing this problem or confusion…


HOW TO TRUST AGAIN???


i barely don’t know the answer as well on how…. because i am on that side standing between the line of giving up and pushing more…

But if im going to look myself at the positive side…. Here are the advice’s i could give to myself and to others…


First… Forgive the one who hurt you the most…. Then acceptance will follow… After that i dont know what’s next…


Maybe all you will be needing is time…. Time to heal the wound…


As what my friend once said..


" This too shall pass, we just don’t know when and how…. What important is…. It will pass"

Right timing…

5 x 5 = 25, 5 + 5 = 10, 10 / 2 = 5

mga bagay na hirap na hirap tayong intindihin noon... pero ngayon minamani nalang natin.

Paano ba maiintindihan ang isang bagay na gustong gusto mo ng intindihin???

Mga bagay na gusto mong maintindihan…. Pero di mo magawang intindihin???

Paano???

Sana ang buhay parang elementary problems na lang …. Para pagdating mo ng highschool at college simple nalang lahat ng bagay para sayo…. Kaso hindi eh…. Kasi habang natututunan mo ang isang bagay… Nadadagdagan ang dapat mo pang pagaralan…. Nagiging kumplikado ang ilan..

Paano nga ba???

Alam ko madami kang tanong sa buhay mo ngayon… Mga bagay na hindi mo maintindihan…. Nahihirapan kang unawain…

Meron din ako nyan… Pero alam mo isa lang ang masasabi ko…

Siguro kailangan din natin palipasin ang panahon… Dahil lahat ng bagay may tamang panahon.. Siguro ngayon di natin maintindihan kasi hindi pa panahon para unawain natin… Baka mas maiintindihan natin ang mga pangyayari bukas…

Lahat ng tanong may sagot….sa tamang panahon!!!

When fears knocks out the door, Open it with faith.. (welcome note)

When fears knocks out the door,

Open it with faith..

A

dmit it! There are times when fears strike us not once but twice or even more and we start to be lost, looking for answers and hope. I have experienced those too, been there done that. Pero di kasi yan one time experience only eh, sa buhay natin habang tayo eh tumatanda mas dumadami ang mga fears natin.

            Just to give an example, when i graduated from highschool i was afraid of what college feels like, what course to take; then when i was in college i was happy with my friends. Two months before our graduation in college i was afraid if there is a place for me in the industry i have chosen. I even wanted to shift my course from HHM to MASCOM or multi media arts or even broadcasting how pathetic right? All of my friends told me to finish what i have started since i am already on the list of candidates in graduation; some said that maybe this thought was just brought by fear. I shared to them that i want to be a FM radio DJ, tha’ts why i want to shift. They suggested na ipagpatuloy ko at subukan muna ang industriya namin pag di talaga ako naging masaya at hinahanap hanap ko talaga ang pagddj therefore magaral daw ulit ako. Then ive heard their stories, they also want to take up some course aside from our course. One said she wanted to be veterinary doctor, the other said she wants to be a MedTech, and etc. Therefore all of us wanted to try something new!

            For sure you also have your own fears, simpleng fear sa lumilipad na ipis o d kaya yung mga tinatawag nilang mga “phobias”. There are different kinds of fears. Fear of not being employed after your first interview, fear of being left alone by the one you love the most, at syempre ang pinakadakilang fear ng ating mga magulang.. fear of not raising their childrens well. Pero lahat ng ito eh kaya nating iconquer sa tamang panahon at masasabi natin sa mga mas nakababata sa atin na “I’ve been there, done that!” Then we will be able to share our own experiences to them and gave them advices on how to face these fears aswell.

            Now is maybe the time to talk to God! All our fears, happiness, doubts, sadness, and confusion are understandable by God. He is our almighty, our mentor, our creator! He writes our story! I quote from Pope Francis “We have a Lord who's capable of crying, walking with us in the capable times...”

            Most of the teenagers right now read books about love, friendships, fictions, and novels from some known author. I may not be a popular writer (like hello di naman ako nagpapasikat!), i may not publish a book (gusto ko lang naman ishare itong mga natutunan ko) but i dont care as long as i have my God, my faith and my family.. Ang akin lang po eh sana naman matutunan at maengganyo din ang mga kabataan na basahin ang mga self help or inspirational books, madami nyan sa National Bookstore! Nagdaan din ako jan! Wag puro love!! Di yan nakakain!! =D

            I hope that in this blog you will be able to understand the importance of FAITH! In so many aspects for sure matutulungan kayo niyan kung meron kayo niyan!!.. No matter what your religion is!
