Assumera Thoughts

Nakakamangha talaga kung gaano ka assumera ang puso. As in konting tabi lang, konting stare lang, konting pag iingat lang at pagsabay..ang thoughts na kaagad ay.."Yes, finally! He's the one!" (when I say konti as in "konti" lang yun ah) HAHAHA! Nakakatawa na lang na nakakainis minsan ang puso. So deceitful.

 Buti na lang I heard a teaching  about clarity . When I say "I heard", hindi ko pa masasabing I learned it but I'm trying. It defining the relationship in your heart right away.

When we say "Clarity", sabi sa dictionary,  it's "Free from obscurity and easy to understand; the comprehensibility of clear expression"  Ano daw? Ah basta, paglilinaw yan. Sino ba ng maglilinaw kung ano bang meron sa inyong dalawa? Si Man ba? kailangan mo ba syang i confront agad agad? ay grabe...or baka naman...  ikaw?


Ikaw na yun girl. :)


Make it CLEAR in your heart and mind. We are brothers and sisters. We are friends. So NORMAL lang yun na mabait sya sa yo noh! Wag isipin na defrauding dahil ..well, magkapatid kayo in faith  at pag may Jesus naman talaga sa heart eh mga magiging gentlemen talaga sila di ba? Ang problema lang talaga ang puso.

Ask yourself, puso na longing for attention and love pa rin ba ang meron ka? Insecure pa rin teh? Wala nang purity sa intention? Naku we have a problem if mukhang Yes ang sagot. Because supposedly kay Jesus pa lang overflowing ka na! Pakikandado ang puso  o! Paki surrender kay Lord!


Everytime I would be tempted to assume tapos most of the time I would fight the assumera thougths  with something destructive like  " ay MALABO  paano naman mag magkaka gusto sa akin yan..blah blah blah eh  I'm like this and  like that.. so wala ito wala ito", nakakadown promise. Di ba????

Hala bakit ganito pa din yung heart ko? Hindi ko pa din ba na oovercome ito? In the midst of assumera and nega scary thoughts.. I would be reminded of one name though...


Jesus.


I would smile and feel kilig all over. Yep yep. Sya talaga ngayon ang panglaban ko kapag lumiliko ng landas ang puso ko. Sobrang at peace lang and I love it. Paano ba naman kasi yung love Nya hindi mo na kailangan I assume lang because it's so so so so so  REAL. Instead of nega thoughts ng identity ang ipanglaban, I would be reminded of how he restored me, of how enthralled He is with my beauty (naks). Ginawa ka na nga ni Lord, He died for you pa. So girl, you're beautiful twice over! Yun, then magiging secured na ulit. My cup overflows. Blush on! Toinks, you just  really need to be reminded. One more time!


Jesus.


High five girl. Kaya mo yan! Guard lang ng guard ng puso. One day, your  MOG will tell you clearly his intention. Pero habang walang sinasabe eh..WALA LANG YAN FRIEND. Move on move on na hah? Oh isa pa..



Jesus.


Yun. Feeling Prinsesa na ulit ang lola mo. :)

PUP Alumni Summer Getaway 2015

Last weekend (April 25-26, 2015) I went to Matuod Beach, Lian Batangas. I was with my then LIFEbox (now ENCampus)  PUP Alumni Family! Days before this event, I really prayed for us to enjoy so much that we'll really look forward to the next year. Amazing how our Dad answered it! 

I can say that this is the best summer outing so far. :) 

Jeepney Selfie! Trying #VSCOCam for the first time!

His thoughts of me is as countless as the sand in the seashore! Wow! Wrote this during my quiet time by the beach. 

Wow!!! Ang galing ng Creator!!!

I miss these peeps and everyone there. Huhu! Clingy much!

It feels like a first time since I was only seven or eight when I last saw an Ocean. Finally, after 15 years!!!! It was breathtaking! 

I always had a vision of walking by the beach with Jesus. Hand-in-hand..together..now I could finally do it in real life!! So in awe!!!

This is my last goodbye minutes before we head back to Manila. Still so amazed! I declare to come back with my Family again! 

Korean Food and Buchon Hanok Village Experience

 I can still vividly remember the night we took out our boots, sat on the floor and gazed at those appetizing food in front of us. It' s our first dinner in the nation of South Korea. I' m amazed and overwhelmed with all those colorful side dishes. Honestly, I was starving so I was  so excited to taste them. Oh my then I met my beloved Samgyeopsal! That's the best! Being cook and cut in front of me was so cool! With the big onions and mushrooms, I fell in love with it. I loved to do the "ssambap" thing - lettuce, rice, samgyeopsal, kim chi  and samjang together. :)
       For our first Korean lunch , I had Deokguuk. I'm pretty familiar with this one since I always talk about it with my students (especially on New Years Day) ! I'm a year older now, since they say that when you eat it, a year will add to your age. :) It's good and a little sweet. :)

      Here comes our 2nd dinner, I was in awe because they prepared a lot! We ate Bossam, Jokbal, and all those Banchan. Here, I discovered that Jokbal is rich in Collagen (which means it's good for the skin). Ms. Han explained to us what's an "anju" and how to make one. :) She also taught us about Koreans' drinking culture. :)

     The next day, we tried Heottteok in Namdaemun market, it's hot and sweet. Honestly, it's not that appealing to me since it has cinnanom (I don't like cinnanom, sorry. :() . I'm still still very grateful to taste it! For lunch, I ate Jjampong (the not so spicy one!) !!! I was so surprised with the serving size since the bowl was so big. We even told Ms. Han and Sir JJ that  in the Philippines, one bowl is enough for the whole family. :) Amazingly though, I finished it! Really, that was so delicious! I've 'been craving for it since then. :) We're so full at that time thus, I think we didn't eat dinner anymore. :)

     For our last and 4th day in Korea, we had a brunch on a Coffee Shop called "A twosome place" and then we ate Korean street food like Omuk and Teokbbokki in Myeongdong. I really really loved Omuk! It's really good to eat hot and a little spicy food in a -11 temperature. :)  Then we had a Koren Buffet for dinner. I was so sad already for I know it's our last meal together. :(  I tried to make my own Bibimbap here and for dessert, I tried "Sesame Ice cream". I'm not even sure if it's the actual name for it but it really has an unusual yet good taste. :)

    Eating Korean food was definitely like an adventure. There' s something magical about experiencing them for the first time. You also don' t know what' s the next taste in store for you!

      Now, let's talk about the beautiful Buchon Hanok Village!
     The Korean Traditional Houses  are really wonderful. I loved our stay there since I felt  like being on a set of a Korean Period drama. I'm amazed also that there are still people living there! And oh, I also saw a coffee shop on a roof top! One day, I also want to see what's inside a Korean home. :)
      I'll be forever grateful for this experience. Thanks for reading! Annyeong!

Women's Meeting 2015

Notes while listening to the Women's meeting podcast:

1. Clarity


Clarify it in your heart!


Define the relationship in your heart.
Friends lang kami until may sabihin sya.
Wala ito. Period.
Don't read too much.
Wag masyadong kikiligin.


2. Honor


We now have the freedom to honor each other kasi walang malisya.
Culture of Honor.
Every person is worthy of honor.
Honor with your thoughts -

 Don't think  "ok to, pang future to." "ayoko nito..hindi magaling mag english"


Honor with your words.


We are leaders but we are also ladies. Let them be a better man.


Honor with your clothes.


Dress modestly.
You want them to focus on Jesus not on your legs or chest.


Be beautiful. So that the men will notice you.
Ang mga bubuyog lumalapit sa makukulay na bulaklak.



3. Wisdom


Listen to advice.
Distansya pag na fa-fall na.
Guard yourself.


Love languages:

words
gift
service
touch


The best gift that you can give to your future husband: A whole, undivided and complete heart.


Wisdom comes by experience.


Listen to people who've gone ahead of you.
