I just can’t believe this has happened. A policeman named Rolando Mendoza really believes that he can claim his job back by hostaging foreigners – tourists who are innocent and are supposed to fly back home the next day.

This is such a big tragedy. And what’s more is that it is done by someone who should have justice and the country’s righteousness at heart. The outcome of this incident is really not something that would be celebrated in the next few days.

My sincere condolences to the relatives and loved ones of the people who were murdered. I cannot imagine the extent of their grief over this abhorrently tragic incident. I can’t imagine having one of my loved ones in there. Incidents like these push us to ask God “Why?”

And indeed it’s also a question that has lingered in my mind for quite some time now. Who are those people in that bus? Did they deserve to die? Why did you allow this, God? And right now all I’ll be doing is to pray and try to listen and know God more as to why these things happen in our world.

As the Word of God says – the heart of man is bent on evil. And so we see the consequences of our human nature at work in this incident today between a philippine policeman holding several chinese toursists as hostage in a bus.

My heart and prayer goes out to their loved ones.

May 10 is drawing nearer and nearer. It is the day to elect someone who will rule over our country for 6 years. Those 6 years are vital – it is a chance to turn around our country. A lot of things can happen in 6 years in the hands of a wise and discerning leader. A lot of people are asking “who am I going to vote?”

Disclaimer: This is a personal blog entry. I am convicted that this has to be told to the rest of our countrymen who are going to cast their votes to appoint our ruler for the next 6 years

It’s not yet too late for us to decide who we are going to appoint as ruler over our country and land. There are so many candidates out there who claim that they can stop poverty, abolish corruption, defend the rights of the oppressed, provide justice and whatnot. A man can only bring so many promises. This is my chance to tell the world who I’m voting.

Dick Gordon's Facebook Page

Why Gordon you ask? It’s because of his solid platform, his integrity (we couldn’t find anything negative about him when we Google’d it) his ability to lead, and his proof of change with what he did to the city of Olongapo.

I believe that this man has the ability to lead our country to a better future. I will pray for him whether he wins or not – to be a man who will burn with the desire to change our nation whether as president or as a mere citizen when, as God will have it, he does not win this election for presidency.

The retreat ‘Beyond’ for Makati Hope’s graduating batch 2010 was held March 5-7. I’m honored to have been part of it and to touch the lives of young men and women who are on their way to highschool and college.

There were grade 6 students and high 4 students. I remember when I was in their shoes. Those were years ago. How time flies!

I handled grade 6 students. They’re so cute and bubbly!

Me and my grade 6 group with atchi Joy

I talked on the panel discussion. Answered some questions – the ones which I think we also asked when we were in our highschool and gradeschool years.

It was a fun and quite relaxing weekend for me. I spent most of my free-time sleeping. Haha! Iba talaga pag tumatanda na!

Had so much fun with the teachers, the teens and the young ones during the retreat. I’m still proud that I graduated from MHCS – during the retreat I can see the hard work on laying the foundation of Christ in the students.

And I just have to say: Twice was I thought out to be a highschool graduating student together with all the High-4 youths. O diba?

I praise God for the school. Keep up the good work teachers! You are the mentors of the next generation! And thank you for all your life you’ve invested in us!

Until next year!

I just got back from Macau last night (Feb 10, 2010). Had a great time bonding with my dad and exploring Hong Kong and Macau.

Me in Hong Kong Disneyland!

Didn’t have time to make much articles during that time though and been busy minding SEO when I got back. Hope I can write an entry soon! I’m currently reading “The love of God” by John McArthur and “How to make your emotions work for you” By Harold Sala. I’m also re-reading “Not even a hint” By Joshua Harris – I’ll be discussing it with my dgroup tomorrow (Saturday) after Jzone Alabang.

It’s been quite a while and I’m excited for my next post! God is moving in my life right now and I’m witnessing how He’s really showing me the way. I can’t see everything, but that’s where trust and faith comes in. Pray for me please.

Hope to hear more from you, my readers. Thank you for all your support, readership and thirst for wisdom. I hope and pray may you always want to know God more.

I’m going on a 3-day team building trip with the Taft ministry CCF team! I’m so excited! Although I have to confess, I haven’t posted a new entry for 2 days now and I couldn’t post today coz I have to go and pack and be at CCF st. Francis by 1pm. It’s 11:30 now and I might be late! Oh no!

Anyhow, I hope you guys have a great weekend and a fun time! JZone Alabang is starting this saturday! I hope you guys can go and enjoy the very first Jzone service this year!!! =D Yay!

The next post is going to be about godliness as it is said in 2nd Timothy: “having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof”
I’m so excited to talk about this on my next post! We have all known a form of godliness but we all have doubted its power. Even myself to some degree at times.

I will pray for you guys, my readers. May you grow more in wisdom and in humility and in knowledge and faith in God! Grace and peace to you all =)

You all know that I have high standards in looking for a woman to spend the rest of my life with. My standards have shocked people and they keep on asking why. One of my standards is “She must never have had a past relationship.” I wanted to explain why I usually don’t include girls who’ve had past relationships in the  list.

They gave away some keys to their hearts – the guys can just keep coming back unless they change their locks

Girls who’ve had past relationships have given away keys to their hearts to the guys they have loved. They have made themselves vulnerable to the guy/s even if the relationship is over. She can never have those keys back. But what she can do is to change the locks.

Unless a woman changes the locks and gives them up to God, the guys will try to keep using those keys whenever they want her back. The only way to really give up the locks and render those keys useless is when she gives them up to God.

They gave away some things that should have been kept for marriage – they gave it away and the guys happily took it

Girls who’ve had past relationships have given away some things that are ideally kept for marriage. They have given away physical sensuality, and some even have given up their virginity (Don’t get me wrong, the girl I’m pursuing kept her body for God and for the one who she’s going to marry. I’m just stating this as an example in general). They have given up their bodies to someone who wouldn’t commit to them after all.

And the guys happily took it. They have robbed her in some way, but they also did not because she also willingly gave it to him.

They gave away their heart – what’s going to be left for me

Girls who’ve had past relationships have given away her heart. Even if she wanted it back, it would return to her a little less. The way her heart beats would never be the same again. Her heart has been broken and torn, and it’s color has faded. Even if it heals, it can never return to what it once was.

What’s going to be left for me is only the remains.

So, what happened to you, Sean?

To those who know me and are close to me, you know that I am pursuing someone who’s had a past relationship. Why is that? Here’s my reason:

For me to love a woman who’s had past relationships can only say how special that person is. And how special is she indeed! God must have a very, very, very good reason why He led me to choose to love her.

And I know that she’s willing to give up the locks to God. I know that she’s a new creation. Even if she didn’t keep it all for me, I choose to love her. I’ve decided and I will fight for it.

What’s the point?
My point is this: Even if you have the tightest standards, if God calls you to something else, you have to be able to surrender everything to Him. It’s not about your standards – it’s about His plans and His glory. Remember that.

As you all know I do post everyday in this blog. I know that I haven’t posted in a while and I assure you I have a very good reason hahaha! I’ve been real busy with my OJT papers, graduation requirements and a girl. I can’t seem to write  a very good post lately because I’ve been so distracted (well mainly by, you know what).

But I assure you I’m going to write a post soon! It’s gonna be about humility! So watch out for it!!! Maybe today if our shooting ends early. My brother’s gonna shoot today for his Video Production 2 class and we’re gonna act. Hope this turns out well. I pray may we act and shoot excellently to glorify our God!

Do pray for us! =)

I just wanted to tell you guys that I’m not going to post as often anymore as I’m trying out my blogging skills on another niche – which is SEO. I’ll still be blogging here about thrice a week and this is still going to be my main site so no worries. =)

Anyhow, I hope you’ve all learned a lot from following my posts thus far. I hope to hear more of you guys so please do leave a comment whenever you feel like it!
