Dear blog,
I noticed that there's something heavy that I am feeling and my body has a tiresome mood. I slept for about 9 hours but I still feel not fully refreshed.
Now I am somewhat feeling symptoms of a fever. I can feel that my body has a high temperature and I feel really tired. I drank coffee in the morning to let myself awake throughout the day but it seems that caffeine has no effect. I think that my body had already developed a caffeine tolerance. i took supplements to stay revitalized and ate a good high-calorie foods but they could have a hard time to be transfused in my bloodstream to every cells of my body.
during my training yesterday, I swam a total of 3500 meters but it was just once in this very week. I could swim such distance for two consecutive training sessions and would still be energetic afterwards.
and indeed I got a fever and i slept immediately when I'm home taking an overdose of vitamin C.

BIBAK 2008-Acquaintance and Induction Party
BIBAK 2008-Acquaintance and Induction Party
“Mun-ooha Angkan nankakalasi ye Kaugadian”
Guest Speaker: Dr. Ryan Guinaran
Palispis Hall, Capitol Building, Latrinidad, Benguet
Aug. 16, 2008 2:30-9:00 p.m.
I bought a ticket from one of the BIBAK officers and had attended the party.
I don’t know what exactly the meaning of the theme. It’s kinda Ibaloi words I think and I haven’t asked anyone regarding such, I am only interested in going to the party though just like the rest of the party goers.
The scheduled time was 2:30-9:00. 2:30 would had been the start but I arrived there at about 6:00 having in mind that there would only be few people there at the early start of the afternoon. I thought that people would only go there to attend at the early evening and they’re anticipating for sure, the dinner.
I arrived there and greeted some of my classmates. The newly elected officers were dancing with gongs when I entered in their g-strings. Good thing we’ve seen their fats and abs burned-off somehow.
Many people were now coming in and the chairs were now starting to be filled in. Students from other schools attended also and had presented their dances.
Sooner, the BIBAK advisers were requested to show their privilege dances and it’s kinda funny to see them dance. The new BIBAK adviser Mr. Cal-agan was taken into a video soon to be uploaded to youtube by his students and he became the face of the night having many fans. His students voted for him.
To cut short, dinner was being served and we were the volunteers to distribute the foods. As for me, BIBAK failed to appoint or form a food committee that would be responsible in the preparation and distribution of foods, purchasing and other food matters. It leads to shortage of prepared foods in the styropores and delayed distribution. The party goers were in there tables eagerly waiting for their dinner but there seemed to be some delays. Anyway, we managed to feed all and soon, the dancing continued.
I didn’t manage to see the ending because I left and had gone home. Lest, there would be no more available jeepneys to ride home.

Wisdom from the Ostrich
Job 13:13-18
(13)"The wings of the ostrich flap joyfully, but they cannot compare with the pinions and feathers of the stork.
(14)She lays eggs on the ground and lets them warm in the sand,
(15)Unmindful that a foot may crush them, that some animal may trample them.
(16)She treats her young harshly, as if they were not hers; She cares not her labor was in vain,
(17)For God did not endow her with wisdom or give her a share of good sense.
(18)Yet when she spreads her feathers to run, she laughs at the horse and its rider.

Wandering Thoughts
My mind has been wandering
this very moment
Of doing nothing except
just staring at the ceiling
I begin to fantasize
So many ideas flying in my surroundings
absorbed by my keen perception
Ideas I hear and see, feel and smell
and taste in the air
They are making me more perplexed
The surroundings that I perceive
I wonder if they're real
I can't comprehend them
in detailed panorama
they're just shallow things
called Illusion
Lights I see dont give off
their glare
and my mind is blank
Saving it just exclusively
for my sanity's sake
Such a turmoil, my brain's
gonna explode
Time is passing and I noticed
every moment lost
Thoughts that wander on nothingness
Thoughts that are no better than air
this very moment
Of doing nothing except
just staring at the ceiling
I begin to fantasize
So many ideas flying in my surroundings
absorbed by my keen perception
Ideas I hear and see, feel and smell

18-08-2008
I woke up at around 1:30 in the morning and immediately got up from my sleep. I put my cellphone on the alarm but i woke up minutes before it should alarm. I walked from T. Alonzo to Session road holding the things my brother had told me to send him. It took me I think, about 30 minutes to walk to my destination. Arriving at the Victory Liner terminal at Gov. Pack road just below SM, I noticed that the terminal was still dark. The person Mr. Carpio whom I should deliver my brother's stuffs told me that he'll go there at 2:30 and as for me, I got there too early enough. We were supposed to rendezvous there so that he could take the first trip to Olongapo. It was still 2 o'clock and I got an hour to spare. I ate some soup in a foodstore and later try to find some internet shops to enjoy the hour I have instead of just waiting. I go downward to Session Rosd and I found an internet cafe not too far from where I came but unfortunately, there was no internet connection. The operator said that there seemed to have some problem with PLDT. I go to two more internet cafes but the same reply did I receive. I could not just play DotA, I want to surf.
At about 3 am., I go back to the terminal and Mr. Carpio was still not there. I called him many times but I received no reply. The cellphone was unattended. I thought 3 a.m. was the first trip but the place was still dim. In my way to the terminal, at the intersection of Session Road and Gov. Pack road, I've seen a bunch of people, all of them were students and I noticed a girl wearing a SLU jacket similar with ours. I didn't see the face. I only seen the eyes. She covered her mouth with his hair when she turn back and had seen me. I didn't dare even to see her full face. I just tried to recognize the faces of her companions hoping i could get a hint. Probably, someone from my team gave her the jacket. But I'm not yet on the right ground to jump into conclusions but I will try to affirm my speculation. I pray it was not Rona because being with such company would make her a bad girl and I am unable to tink such about her.
Arriving at the terminal, I asked the person there and he told me that Baguio-Olongapo trips were all now in their other terminal at Engineer's hill. I go there (I walked 10 mins. to arrive there) and noticed some PMMA cadets but I didn't dare to talk to them. I also noticed a PMMA cadet while I ws waiting at Gov. Pack and I thought he was Mr. Carpio and I tried to call him but the reply was unattended.
I myself had gone to Olongapo about 3 years ago and we took our trip at Gov. Pack and even when I accompanied my brother to the Terminal going to Olongapo, they took tickets at Gov. Pack. So I walked my way again to Gov. PAck road and finally asked the conductor regarding the first trip and told me that all trips to Olongapo were on their other terminal. It was confirmed. I asked when was the first rip and he told me that it was 3:30. I walked fast to Engineer's Hill again and the security guard told me that the first trip has gone already. I thought I lose him. I didn't stop to call him and while I was in the CR, he called and thanked me for my calls because he was awakened though. He told me he would take the trip at Gov. Pack on 5 o'clock. If he had gone already, I would deliver the things and the money to the PMMAers waiting for their trip. that would be the inconceivable choice. He told me he was on his way. I sat down and tried to converse with the PMMA cadet beside me. Their response was snappy. Soon they asked me who my brother was and soon introduced ourselves and got our cellphone numbers. The female cadet told me that she knew my brother and that they were renting rooms near my brother's in San RAfael. At about 5 o'clock, the bus bound to Olongapo started its engine and people begun to ride including the cadets. Mr. Carpio arrived and I handed him my brother's things and they aboard the bus and rode the ride of their lives. I walked back to T> Alonzo to my cousin's boarding house and fell asleep.
At about 3 am., I go back to the terminal and Mr. Carpio was still not there. I called him many times but I received no reply. The cellphone was unattended.

Our Heavenly Dwelling
2 Corinthians 5:1-10
(1)Now we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands.
(2)Meanwhile we groan, longing to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling,
(3)Because when we are clothed, we will not be found naked
(4)For while we are in this tent, we groan and are burdened, because we do not wish to be unclothed but to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.
(5)Now it is God who has made us for this very purpose and has given us the spirit as deposit, guaranteeing what is to come
(6)Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord
(7)We live by faith, not by sight
(8)We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord
(9)So we make it our goal to please Him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it.
(10)For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due to him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.

Grey Clouds
A near black cotton-like vapor of water
in the atmosphere
It has never stopped to amaze me
Making me think that you have something
which you are concealing on your bosom
Are you a sign of fair weather
or an impending rain?
But I know many people would certainly think
That you're carrying
your rain with you
That you're ready to burst
I could somehow see rays of the sun
passing through you
Although your dim color
absorbed some of its radiance
Which means you're not keeping the light
for yourself
It'll gonna rain tonight
or tomorrow morning
But I've forecasted already
that you'll let go
of your rainwater vessel
because I've seen pink and orange
sunset yesterday
You seemed to affect the mood of us creatures
yet you're powerless against our wants and desires
You seemed to try to give a message
to us of some sort
An enigma for us to be unable to comprehend
a Divine wonder you behold
Thanks to you, I cannot see
the beautiful sunset at dusk
Only do I see now was a darkness
slowly prevailing against the light
You have made my night long this time
but I do know now,
that the only option for us is to accept
that it's now your season
and you're now the ruler of the skies.

I haven't seen her Today
I go to the right side of the mezzanine floor, 5th level of Mnsgr. Charles Vath Building to read my textbooks and I haven't seen her. I expected to I could she was here to review also his lessons but to my big disappointment, she's not. We used to see each other on that part of the library because we used to review there, making that part of the library an entry to be added in my list of unforgettable places where love had asked for the dance. I do like her but I don't know if she likes me as well and I think she does because there were times when our eyes crossed each other's. She was also taking BS Accountancy. I'm certain of it as evidenced by what she was reading and as I can see, she is a hard-working, academic-type of . I don't know if she have had a boyfriend but if she does have at this point in time, we had no other thing then to do except just flirting.
Granting that she doesn't have yet, perhaps, I would have to go to the library more frequently so as to establish to her an impression of me being a nerdy-type of guy or a responsible guy somehow.
So that I could be on her suitor's list if ever she took notice of me always as such.
I really miss her and that glancing("pasulyap-sulyap") moves we are indicating.
He He He! College life sometimes was indeed colorful and full of unexpected surprises.
I have finally proven that being a library goer do have some perks in it just like this heart-beating, hormone-induced and keen awareness-influenced circumstance that came by these past 3 days.
Library Life= Love Life
weeeew!!!! HA HA HA!!!
Yeah ga.

About our requirement in FinMan 7
7:49 12 August 2008
It's been 3 meetings that we haven't done anything in our finMan 7 subject. We were supposed to be spending or time discussing or report on Jollibee Foods Corporation. But as for us, we just chat on some nonsense stuffs ranging from our academic activities, our instructors, dreams and other things non related to our subject. Boredom overtook me so I have no other choice to make myself busy but to get a draft paper and a pen and write a blog entry.
Yeah boy!
Like the days of old, it's in this way that I am able to utilize or spent my boring time into something constructive and personality-developing hobby.
Our group leader told us to polish whatever the outcome of our input on Thursday. I haven't even have a clear idea of what role will I play but I assure them my full cooperation nevertheless. My group mates have their idea of our jingle already and we, boys, are expected to dance .
They told me to be the one to act like Cesar Montano in the ABS-CBN evening show or Mike Enriquez of GMA7 news report program Imbestigador but I'm certain that I would have some slutter in my voice if I choose such role taking into consideration that I haven't yet experienced to be a jolly host.
My other group mates had made their research already on their assigned part.
Ours were not yet been started yet and I felt like I was of no use to the group. But regardless of such, I am willing to act what they will instruct me.
I'll do my best, If it's the only thing I could be able to have as my contribution to the group. And most of all, they expect me to do best.

My Yesterday -Myself
You have been my greatest adversary
in all the world
Stronger than all my foes
And it would only be you,
The odd I will forever strive
to overcome
Since birth,
you have been predestined before me
To add weights on my shoulders
and to make me stumble in the road of life.
You hold my hands and my feet
Tied them with chains making me unable to walk
I am your creator and only to me
you are supposed to bow
but you rose up against me
and overcame me
never been grateful
that you strength came from me
You came to me unexpectedly
stalking in the very shadows
of my darkest thoughts
You made the world just a mediocre
"oikos" to live in
And without mercy nor regret,
you have been attacking me these many times
How in the world,
Myself had risen up against me?
Are you my reality or just some sort
of mirage or a mental parasite?
Is it not I who created you or molded you?
Or the world has corrupted you already?
I created you with my best intention
with sweat and blood, I laid your very foundation;
with days of frustrations and sleepless nights,
I designed your very form
I couldn't help now but
to surpass you once and for all
I would not destroy you
but instead, I would make you stronger
so that I would make myself stronger
than you are
You are a part of myself
You meddle with my yesterdays
and I would never let you escape such oblivion
You're my past and I would surpass you
in all the world
Stronger than all my foes
And it would only be you,
The odd I will forever strive
to overcome
Since birth,
you have been predestined before me
To add weights on my shoulders
and to make me stumble in the road of life.

The day Tiongsan-Harrisson was on Fire
April 2, 2008
We were purchasing at around 10 a.m. in the lowest floor or the grocery part of Tiongsan. After taking the listed grocery items, I lined up in the cashier to pay our purchases. While standing in the queue of people waiting for my turn, I suddenly noticed the sprinklers in the ceiling connected to some water pipes. I am just staring at those installed sprinklers with a blank mind and later thought that Tiongsan management had made some insurance that a conflagration will never occur in the newest Tiongsan branch. I even thought at that time that Tiongsan is safe from fire as evidenced by the anti-fire measures and it was near the Baguio city fire Department. After paying and packing our merchandise, we left it at the baggage counter because we have to go somewhere. Good thing I get the receipt and the tag when we left.
We have gone to Tenerace in San Vicente to attend some occasion. We left Tiongsan at about 11 a.m.. We stayed in Tenerace for about 2 hours then decided to go back to town to buy other merchandise at the city market.
We rode ajeep to town. The travel time only took about 15 minutes. We unload the jeep and I noticed some people in panic. I try to figure out what was happening and look at the direction they were looking and they're looking at the Tiongsan Building. The smoke was in the fifth floor and the fire started to grow. Our merchandise was left at the underground floor and police lines were now in the vicinity. There's no way to enter now and we just left our baggages to be refunded later.
My mind was overwhelmed in what happened. I know for sure that I felt something strange just few hours before the fire but never told anyone. Despite of thinking that Tiongsan had some sprinklers, the fire broke out, what an irony.
I wasn;t sure of that something I felt hours before. I couldn't figure it out. I only seen the meaning of such premonition the moment I saw Tiongsan filled with smoke before my eyes.
Sometimes, having subconscious perceptions was overwhelming and had the possibility of making me crazy. And this was not the only psychic experience I have had.

I wasn;t sure of that something I felt hours before. I couldn't figure it out. I only seen the meaning of such premonition the moment I saw Tiongsan filled with smoke before my eyes.
Sometimes, having subconscious perceptions was overwhelming and had the possibility of making me crazy. And this was not the only psychic experience I have had.
My Comment on my Post (Pokemon episode 72- Go West young Meowth) in relation with my life
The episode did really set my heart on fire the first time I had watched it on a television. One way or another, there is a congruence of the story in some way between meowth and meowsie and between me and Rona. Meowth seeing a show of a well-off meowth in Hollywood is like me before having no direction in life after high school and later decided to go to college for a come-what-may success. Arriving at Hollywood, after some short-term mishaps, meowth soon begun to have his fill. Arriving at Baguio city and being enrolled at a prestigious university, my had begun to take shape and everything was started to become clearer. A short time goes by and I've seen such a beautiful and a charming lady, with a flawless smile and a meek look. My heart pumped like never been before and my skin turned red, I had a tingling sensation in my proximities but I didn't let people notice it.
I was introduced to her and I fall inlove.Meowth did find found the meowth of his dreams and so as I.
Just like meowth who felt lowly upon seeing a diamond decorated pokeball from meowsie's trainer and seeing meowsie's glittering eyes upon such sight was my feeling the moment I had known that Rona already had a boyfriend and he was a well-off type of guy who could give Rona anything. I knew I didn't stood a chance to win her heart.
I assumed from that moment that by becoming stronger, more intelligent and a man of great achievement that Rona would take notice of me. I endured rigorous trainings and faced my "terror" accounting instructors just to be able to impress her at least. Meowth on the other hand, was resolved that by becoming like human that meowsie would have as interest in him. I improved little by little at swimming and had been qualified to be an accountancy major. Meowth likewise learned to talk, stand-up and walk like human.
Moment of Truth
Meowth, confident with his newly acquired talents, show himself to meowsie but the opposite happened, he was rejected and considered a freak and he cannot give what his trainer is giving her.
I, on the other hand having heard the news that Rona and her boyfirend's relationship was over, became more confident with myself and soon preparing a courting scheme. To my shock, I was not yet fully prepared and hadn't yet carried out my plan, and the unexpected happend, she had a new boyfriend already for such a short time and I hadn't told her my feelings. I saw it with my own eyes and it burned with vanity and anger. My heart broke and futility begun to take shape. Busted!..
Subsequently tothat until this point in time, just like meowth vowing to become far richer and better than who she ever was, I sworn to become the richest, the fastest swimmer and the most intelligent nerd she had ever seen.
Meowth did fulfill his vow after he joined team rocket. I on the other hand is still in the process of fulfilling my promise and I just got 2 more years to go.
I swear to you Rona. I will become a CPA soon.

Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your Strength
Nehemiah 8:9-12
(9)Then Nehemiah the governor, Ezra the priest and scribe and the Levites who were instructing the people said to them all, "This day is sacred to the Lord your God. Do not mourn or weep." For all the people had been weeping as they listened to the words of the Law.
(10)Nehemiah said, "Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have noting prepared. This day is sacred to the Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.
(11)The Levites calmed all the people, saying, "Be still, for this is a sacred day. Do not grieve."
(12)Then all the people went away to eat and drink, to send portions of food and to celebrate with great joy, because they now understood the words that had been made known to them.

Living in a Fantasy Land again
My mind is wandering again. My mouth is wide open and my face was blank. With a stirred emotion of vanity and unfulfilled wishes, I never stopped to think things of thin air.
I am now again living in my own self-created castle that is floating in the clouds- a castle that doesn't exist and I fear I would grow old just imagining such utopia. I couldn't remember when this stuff had started but one thing I know is the cause(I'm not really sure of it), and it was the hallucinating drug called cannibol. It's a mid-altering substance that once drove me crazy.
I am a daydreamer before but such was only minimal but it was made serious by smoking pot.
Ha Ha Ha ! A fantasy land yeah!, aland with hils covered with fine grass with growing wild flowers and many multi-colored butterflies with me running down the slopes? NO, that's not the fantasy land i was trying to convey but it's some kind of a vain ambition. A product of an effortless endeavor. A fruit of idleness or a nonsense desire of some unattainable thing of some sort.
I couldn't ascertain what that was but I do know it exist and therefore it's true. But one thing is true and correct. and that was I Never would I remember such fantasy making neither would a trace or remnant of such would be left in my mind nor my subsconcious. Such fantasy land would surely vanish in an oblivion but daydreaming would always be hot on my heels and would be always knocking at my doorsteps.
And as a remedy for me, I should run non-stop the race of life. I know I could outrun these parasites and self-sabotaging mental stuffs so just keep running ahead then.
Ready, Get, Set, Go! (run)

I could see Brown clouds before, but now, no more
One thing I could still remember was seeing brown clouds like a wild smoke before when I was still young. I would just apply a little pressure into my eyes then there, right infront of me, a magnificent brown cloud expanding and growing.
I of course enjoyed watching those clouds like a baby seeing for the first time a funny and ridiculous thing. It's a sight that I enjoyed and would stir my awareness and emotions.
It's a thing as for me, only I did have. And after watching such, I would just fall asleep without notice.
But now, no matter how hard I try to bring back such closed-eyed sight, I stil couldn't. I even tried putting weight to of my arm but still of no progress. A big difference when I was young that even in waking hours, my eyes could still produce brown clouds.
It was now a thing of the past and what substituted it was seeing tiny flying lights or liquid crystals.
I wish such sight would come again so that I could have a connection with my past at least. So that I could reminisce my childhood dreams and subconscious desire- a desire for acknowledgement and goodwill, a thing every person needed in their childhood- mutual and intimate love and care.
How I would like to become like a child again because I'm tired in this tiresome world of grown-ups. But what's true and necessary was for me now to face what lies ahead.
I should be like a child, adventurous and brave to face new challanges, and willling to learn and grow, and is eager to reach my dreams beyond the rainbow.

Beijing 2008 Olympics
A big achievement for China on an international/global basis. By reason that sponsoring an Olympic event is a very serious business. A country must first endorse herself and prove that she would be capable to sponsor such a once in a 4 year athletic meet. Many a world's leader's now made their way to Beijing and the streets would soon be full of ant-like-peoples. Many nationalities, tourists, delegates, and sport enthusiasts surely would regard the Beijing 2008 Olympics as a trip of a lifetime. Here they would be able to see their idolized sports superstars. A rumor had said that Beijing had been fully booked 2 years before the start of the Olympics that would be year 2006 and tickets had been all sold out and hotel accommodations had been reserved. Could the Beijing Olympics a sentimental event of some sort? or people are just getting too excited on grasping for the wind.
I don't know but if I could have a ticket and a sufficient provisions, I wouldn't hesitate to go.
China had tried to reduce its emission of harmful gasses and even to the extent of using anti-cloud cannons to make approaching rains into drizzle.
Could many world records be broken and new heights of physical feat be achieved by man? of course with no doping.
But let's see.
-a pre-olympic post
.:Hope I could join the next 2012 Olympics wherever it would be held, if providence would so permit me.
___|||::: I have read Rona's friendster testimonials. the one commented that she should take good care of herself to be able to join the 2008 Olympics. It was just a dream to be tried to achieve and she didn't
But thanks to that and anything else,
Fearful and uncertain, I dived and swam just for her.
I started swimming my race of life since then.

Killer Instinct
(1)
A cock fight till de@th
never thought of giving-up
yet after such many fatal blows,
he deserves the task
of crying his mighty crow
with a company of hens to bow down to him
because from him,
the next breed of strong offspring will descend.
(2)
Lions charge to an elephant
careless of being stomped
and be whipped by its mighty trunk.
Because only one thing is he know,
kill or die,
I'm the king of the wilds
and all other animals tremble
upon hearing my roar.
(3)
Eagles took off to dive
from its nest far high in the cliffs.
swooping for the kill,
with its focus on the prey,
down like a thunderbolt,
the prey was pierced by its great talons,
taking the meat to its nest
to feed its hungry chicks
(4)
Bulls charge at the sight of anything crimson
lowering its head and leaning its weight
to its forelimb
stirring dust behind its back
"I can only see the crimson", he say
"I am strong and big, Iwill crush it with my horns
no matter what it was and may happen"
(5)
Felines wait patiently for anything that moves
for hours they keep their eyes focus
undisturbed by physical necessities
and if they could see something is moving,
like the wind with no crack of twigs they approach
and with one mighty blow of its paw
down you rat, I'm so sorry,
but you would be my dinner for tonight.
.:the thing animals have in order to be able to survive in the wilds and harsh and unforgiving habitat. A virtue that had never been changed. A key for sustenance and insurance of survival of a specie. without such, Fauna could long had been extinct.
.:the animals had this impulse and its only one thing- that's for food.
(I speak as regards to myself)
I wish I could have such in attaining my goals and dreams and fulfilling my duty. I admit my heart was soft and this is the thing I lack. But it should be the thing I should have. It's not for my personal or selfish gain but for the fulfillment of my duty and my destiny. Anyway it's just for two years. Because after such time, I will be singing "Que sera,sera! Whatever will be, will be".

For the Love of a Woman
To reach new heights
and go beyond my limits,
To go to places
I've never been before,
To do things
I'd never thought I could do,
To establish a ame
in the economic parlance,
To be on the top
of the Corporate ladder,
To attain gold
in the Olympiad,
To attain a success
that no one ever had attained before,
To extend my reach
beyond the clouds to the stars above,
To become what I never have had imagined
I will be,
To be looked upon with awe
yet maintaining a humble character,
All these things;
elusive as they may seem,
by any means necessary;
will I try to achieve
just for the love of a woman.

Rest for the Weary -Matthew 11:25-30
Matthew 11:25-30
(25)At that time Jesus said, "I praise you, Father, Lord of Heaven and Earth because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and arevealed them to little children.
(26)Yes, Father, for this was your good pleasure.
(27)"All things have been comitted to me by my Father, No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him.
(28)"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
(29)Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
(30)For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."

Rain for Two Days
How art thou pour thy tears upon us
Oh! floating sponge of the heavens
When wilt thou empty thy vessel
and let the sun shines its glorious splendor
Art thou crying for us
for the fruition of what wrong we had done
We recklessly tried to k1ll the earth
where we called home
and exploit its riches of the ground
Were not satisfied with our fill of spoils
that maybe the reason why you pour out your tears upon us
That we may hear your words in the raindrops
and heed your teachings from the thunderbolt
But nothing is permanent in this world
After which you poured enough that your bossom will vanish
and nothing will hinder us in doing
our works that causes earth's decadence
Two days of rain is far enough
to fill the emptiness of our hearts
But the opposite happenned
We emptied our hearts and craved more
to fill ourselves with our self1sh desires
I beg thou oh rain not to stop
Fill our skies with darkness
and make our roads like raging rivers
that we may learn and be wise and grateful
Make us know that you meddle with the affairs of men
and your Creator be forever glorified
like you pour out your showers,
that we may also pour out love
from our hearts
Make us wonder of how you're made
and never failing to make us know
that thou O great rain
is our brother, our guardian
and emissary of the Most High

The Wise and Foolish Builders -Luke 6:46-49
(46)Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord', and do not do what I say?
(47)I will show you what he is like who comes to me and hears my words and put them into practice.
(18)He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid foundation on a rock. When flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built.
(19)But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete.

Struggling with Sin -Romans 7:7-25
Romans Chapter 7:
(7)What shall we say, then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! Indeed I would not have known what sin was except through the law. For I would not have known what c0veting really was if the law had not said. "Do not c0vet".
(8)But sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, produces in me every kind of c0vetous des1re. For apart from law, sin is .
(9)Once I was alive apart from law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died.
(10)I found that every commandment that was intended to bring life actually brought de@th.
(11) For sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, dece1ved me, and through the commandment put me to de@th.
(12)So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous and good.
(13)Did that which is good, then, become de@th to me? By no means! But in order that sin might be recognnized as sin, it produced de@th in me through what was good, so that through the commandment sin might become utterly sinful.
(14)We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin.
(15)I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do, i do not do, but what I , I do.
(16)And if I do what I do not want to do, i agree that the law is good
(17)As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but is sin living in me.
(18)I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out.
(19)For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the ev1l I do not want to do -this is what I keep on doing.
(20)Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no loner I who do it, but sin living in me that does it.
(21)So I find this law at work: when I want to do good, ev1l is right there within me
(22)For in my inner being, I delight in God's law;
(23)But I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members.
(24)What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from the body of de@th?
(25)Thanks be to God, through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself in my mind am slave to God's law, but in the sinful nature a slave to the law of sin.

Boasting about Tommorrow -Proverbs 27:1
Proverbs 27:1
'Do not boast about tomorrow,
for you do not know
what a day may bring forth'
'Do not boast about tomorrow,
for you do not know
what a day may bring forth'
Rain and Tears
The sky is always crying
like my heart that's always breaking
Teardrops falls from the sky
and blood flow from my eyes
Raindrops slip through the atmosphere
and the wind scatters them into showers
My tears rarely cascade in my cheeks
cause they vanish in my eyes
Rain shrouded the sun and the blue sky
making the artists stop their sketch of the sunlight
Tears blurred my sight and my eyes closed
stopping my smile for a moment
The rain has no taste at all
no sweetness, sourness, salinity nor bitterness
But my tears tastes like salt
which means that the ocean were filled with tears of men
I do believe the rain cleans the air
returning the contaminants to the ground where it came from
And my tears cleaned by eyes
removing its specks and give me a lucid vision
The rain had been created to water the earth
to nourish the lands and to cool the air
While tears sprang out to show the feelings of joy
and gladness of the hearts of men.

About my Blog(1) - divine-eye.blogspot.com
-It's been two(2) months already since I registered this blog and starting to publish my blog postings. At first, I intend to create this so as for me to have a meanss of expressing my thoughts and emotion in order to unload myself of some non-sense and unproductive burdens. I myself ever since I was young really did have some visions which in one way or another, when I started to grow up, had made me insane or too much overwhelmed; anxious and eager and too much concern on something of no worth. One way of how I unloaden myself was to speak to an object ( I learned this technique when I watched an episode of ABS-CBNs fantasy series of Hiraya-manawari when I was just a kid) and to at least lesen my unknown burden. But now is what they called the "wi-fi" era wherin electronics and technology revolutionized the world and connecting people from all ends of the earth. But now, I mad this blog as a personal diary of mine, and indeed I was somehow able to relieve my self of intense emotion. As my rule-of-thumb, I should have at least two(2) blog postings for a day. However, when I don't have a drafted postings that I posted some qoutations from the Holy Bible to at least increase my knowledge and knowledge of those who read my blog about God's word. His love and His gift of salvation for all mankind.
til the I would end it here for a while.
susequent About my blogs would be posted out later.
yeah ga.

Ecclesiastes 9:11
The race is not to the swift
or the battle to the strong,
Nor does food to the wise
or favor to the learned;
But time and chance happen to them all.

Job 33:14-18
For God does not speak- now one way, now another- though may not perceive it.
In a dream,
in a vision of the night,
when deep sleep falls on men as they slumber in their beds,
He may speak in their ears and terrify them with warnings,
to turn man from wrongdoing
and keep him from pride,
to preserve his soul from pit,
his life from perishing by the sword.

We are God's Creation -Job 10:8
A prayer in times of trouble and despair
Job 10:8
Your hands shaped me and made me. Will you now turn and destroy me?
Remember that you molded me like clay. Will you now turn me to dust again?
Did you not pour me out like milk and curdle me like cheese,
clothe me with skin and flesh and knit me together with bones and sinews?
You gave me life and showed me kindness, and your providence watched over my spirit.
