I Beg To Fall In Love With Thee, My Lord


I beg to fall in love with thee, my Lord
With every breath of life I take
I beg to fall in love with thee, my Lord
Its every beat, I to thee forsake

For even if my thoughts fall short of knowing you
And even if my will runs terrified
Your passion thins the darkness of my soul
Sheds it light, breathes it life, stills the murmur of the night

For even if my heart falls short of loving you
And even if my spirit hides away
Your love for me surpasses all my fear
All I do, all I am, all that I can ever be

Of moving on and a new chapter ahead ❤


"You must make a decision that you are going to move on. It won't happen automatically. You will have to rise up and say, "I don't care how hard this is, I don't care how disappointed I am, I'm not going to let this get the best of me. I'm moving on with my life." ― J. Osteen


Thank you to that awesome guy up there who allowed me strength to accept what I thought I cannot. Yes, I have moved on with my life and will continue to keep moving forward. Time runs even without the people we want to be with, life goes on even without the things we've always wanted to have. Working for the best, prepared for the worst. Keep living, head on. ☻

LOVER and GIVER

A quality of a great lover is being able to GIVE.

Sometimes we give, whatever in kind it may be, without being reciprocated and we only get hurt in return. But then again, the good news is that we are able to share our blessings, not that we are the ones who need to ask.

Jesus loved us by laying down his life for us. We were loved without being asked for anything in return! And the best part is that He continues to love us without getting tired!

May we be able to share this kind of love to our brothers and sisters..

God loves you! Spread the love! And oh, Happy Feast of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus! :) ♥

Talisay City's Candidates' Forum

http://www.sunstar.com.ph/cebu/local-news/2013/04/29/debate-turns-yell-match-279935

April 27, 2013 - Talisay City

It was a Saturday night perfectly apt to go out with friends. Instead, I chose to stay at home with my parents. Good thing was that my dad was planning to attend to this candidates' forum which was held at the covered court beside the city parish. This has been organized by the brotherhood in cooperation with the Knights of Columbus of which my dad is a member of. I had my hopes up that I would be able to witness a stimulating activity and learn more about the running candidates.

Much to my surprise, once the forum ticked off, only few candidates were there and mostly were from  the Liberal Party. Only one sole councilor candidate, Mayor Fernandez, from the rival party came up. There were no whereabouts for his other partymates, or perhaps they just had prior engagements which they need to attend to. 

The candidates started to introduce themselves in a three minute time allotted to each of them, of which I found unnecessarily long. Most of them only blamed and pointed out issues and flaws in the current leadership instead of presenting concrete actions and solutions to solve them. They did give an empty promise that the city would be in better hands once they're elected. Well there were few, and I mean FEW (less than the number in your one hand, THAT few) who presented their plans and visions if given the chance to be elected as an official. 

Given that, it was exceptionally amusing how their supporters cheer for them, loudly, even when their speech, which was expressed in vernacular, didn't made any sense. What was more annoying was that the supporters were too noisy cheering for their candidate that the speech of the said person won't be heard in the area clearly. I was shaking my head with disgust the entire time I was there (it was my first to attend such kind of gathering by the way) knowing that these candidates would vanish into thin air from the streets right after election time. They'd be comfortably sitting in their AC office and forget what they have promised during the campaign period. Every single time. And people don't learn from it. Most of those who were there were the masses. People who give an impression that all they care is the fame and fortune of the candidate. They can't even keep their mouth shut and open their ears all the while the candidate is delivering his piece. For all we know, those same supporters are the very people who complain about how they merely survive in a day to day basis. Both scenarios, the candidate giving his empty promise and the supporter cheering albeit the content of the speech, are very disappointing. 

Who expects change when people themselves play the same game with the same distorted rules?
