I Met You

There are tears in your eyes

After saying our goodbyes.

Why's your face so sad?

Will you miss me much?

Paint your face in my mind,

As the tears from your eyes,

Show there's something behind,

That you miss me much.

It is so emotional.

So sentimental.

The love you gave to me.

It is so heavenly.

You will never ever be forgotten.

Etched in the craveses of my mind.

The smiles and laughter shared,

Banked in memory, saved in my lifestory.

We might not see again,

We might not meet again,

But one thing I couldn't do,

Is to neglect the memory of you.

Everytime I hear your name,

It reminds me of your fame,

That once in my life time,

I Met You.

Jesus Takes Up His Cross

Jesus embraced the cross not because He deserved it, but because love demanded it. We all carry burdens we never asked for. Yet grace meets us in the weight. May we lift our crosses with the same trust He showed. Love makes heavy things holy.

Jesus Is Condemned to Death

Jesus stood silent before false accusations, choosing obedience over defense. Sometimes the hardest battles are the ones we face quietly, trusting God to speak for us. May we learn His courage, the strength to stand firm even when misunderstood. A quiet heart is a strong heart.

Daanan mo lang ang problema, wag tambayan,

Parang ulap na lilipas, huwag lang tambayan.

Sa bawat unos, may liwanag na darating,

May bagong umaga, may pag-asang sisilipin.

Ang problema’y sadyang laging naroroon,

Parang anino na sumusunod sa panahon.

Ngunit sa tibay ng pusong matatag,

Lahat ng bagyo’y kayang maharap.

Sa oras ng bigat, huwag mong kalimutan,

May kaibigang laging handang lapitan.

Sa yakap ng kasama, gumagaan ang daan,

Hapdi ng loob, unti-unting nawawala’t nagagamot naman.

Kaya’t wag masiraan, magpatuloy ka lang,

Bawat hakbang mo’y patungo sa tamang landas din naman.

Pagkatapos ng gabi, may araw na sisikat,

Sa totoo lang hindi sya magandang bisyo sa araw araw na buhay😁

What does the star on our Christmas tree mean to me and my family?

The act of adorning a Christmas tree with a star ornament is more than just a decorative tradition; it carries profound symbolic and emotional significance for many families and communities. Rooted in the biblical story of the Nativity, the star represents the Star of Bethlehem, which guided the Wise Men to the birthplace of Jesus Christ. This symbolic gesture serves as a reminder of hope, guidance, and divine light during the Christmas season.

Placing the star on top of the tree often becomes a cherished family tradition. It is a moment that brings everyone together, creating a sense of unity and shared purpose. For children, it can be a magical highlight, fostering excitement and joy. For adults, it can be a reflective moment, reminding them of the spiritual and historical essence of the holiday.

Beyond its religious meaning, the star also symbolizes aspirations and dreams. As it shines brightly atop the tree, it inspires people to strive for a better future and remain steadfast in their goals and beliefs, even amidst challenges.

Hope is the spark that ignites the human spirit, even in the darkest of times. It is not merely an optimistic outlook but a profound belief in the possibility of a better future. When we choose hope, we choose to see challenges as opportunities, obstacles as stepping stones, and setbacks as lessons.

Hope empowers us to persevere. It gives us the courage to take that first step, even when the road ahead seems uncertain. Many of the world’s greatest achievements were born from hope—the belief that change, progress, or success was possible despite overwhelming odds. It transforms impossibility into a realm of potential, fueling resilience and innovation.

Choosing hope is also a powerful act of defiance against despair. Life can often feel overwhelming, filled with moments that test our faith and resilience. But in those moments, hope becomes our anchor, reminding us that our circumstances do not define us. It assures us that no matter how dire a situation may seem, there is always a path forward.

Moreover, hope is contagious. When one person holds onto hope, it inspires others to do the same. It creates a ripple effect, fostering a collective spirit of possibility and progress. Communities built on hope often overcome adversity together, proving that unity and belief can achieve extraordinary things.

Sa buhay, hindi maiiwasan ang mga hamon at balakid. Gayunpaman, ang paraan ng pagtingin at pagharap natin sa mga ito ay maaaring magdala ng malaking pagbabago. Ang pagsasanay sa isipan na magtuon sa mga solusyon kaysa sa mga problema ay isang mahalagang kakayahan na nagpapalakas ng katatagan, pagiging malikhain, at tiwala sa sarili.

Kapag nakatuon tayo sa mga problema, nalulubog tayo sa negatibismo at kawalang-pag-asa. Pinapalaki nito ang mga hamon at ubos ang ating enerhiya, na nag-iiwan ng maliit na espasyo para sa aksyong makabuluhan. Sa kabilang banda, ang solusyon-oriented na pag-iisip ay nagbabaling ng pansin natin sa mga posibilidad at aktibong hakbang. Sa halip na tanungin ang sarili, “Bakit nangyayari ito sa akin?” mas magandang itanong, “Ano ang magagawa ko para malutas ito?”

Ang ganitong pag-iisip ay nangangailangan ng pagsasanay. Magsimula sa pamamagitan ng pagbabago ng pananaw—tingnan ang mga hamon bilang pagkakataon para sa pag-unlad. Ang bawat problema ay may dalang potensyal para sa kaalaman at inobasyon. Pangalawa, sanayin ang pagiging mausisa at kritikal na pag-iisip. Hatiin ang problema sa mas maliit na bahagi at mag-isip ng mga posibleng solusyon. Sa huli, pumili ng positibong kapaligiran—mga tao, libro, at lugar na nagbibigay-inspirasyon sa pagiging malikhain at matatag.

Ang pagtuon sa solusyon ay hindi lamang para sa iyong sarili kundi para rin sa mga nasa paligid mo. Nagtataguyod ito ng kooperasyon, dahil ang mga positibo at mapanlikhang tao ay madaling lapitan ng iba. Sa paglipas ng panahon, ang pagsasanay na ito ay nagpapalakas ng tiwala at paniniwala sa kakayahan mong harapin ang anumang pagsubok.

Madalas, nakakaramdam tayo ng pagod sa buhay. Ang walang katapusang siklo ng mga responsibilidad, hamon, at di-inaasahang problema ay maaaring magpabigat sa atin. Sa mga ganitong pagkakataon, napakalakas ng tukso na sumuko. Ngunit ang sikreto ng pagtagumpay sa mga pagsubok ng buhay ay hindi ang pagsuko kundi ang matutong magpahinga.

Ang pahinga ay isang paraan ng muling pagbangon. Binibigyan tayo nito ng pagkakataong huminto, magmuni-muni, at linawin ang ating isipan. Tulad ng isang tumatakbo na humihinga nang malalim sa gitna ng marapon, ang pahinga ay nagdudulot ng lakas upang harapin ang mga darating na hamon. Ang pagsuko, sa kabilang banda, ay pagtalikod sa pagkakataong matuto at lumago mula sa mga pagsubok.

Kapag napagod ka, tandaan na ang pagpapahinga ay hindi kahinaan—ito ay isang anyo ng pangangalaga sa sarili. Ang pagpapahinga ay hindi nangangahulugang isinusuko mo ang iyong mga pangarap; ito ay paghahanda upang harapin ang mga hamon nang may bagong sigla. Maraming anyo ang pahinga: isang tahimik na lakad sa kalikasan, isang taos-pusong pag-uusap sa kaibigan, o simpleng sandali ng katahimikan upang huminga nang malalim.

Today, I lit a candle for our departed family members, especially for our parents. Eos asked me why I was lighting a candle, so I explained to her the significance of today. I told her that this day is special for remembering our loved ones who have passed away. I then shared stories about my mother and my wife’s mother. She had many questions, and I was glad to answer them.

All Saints’ Day is a beautiful tradition that we should share with and pass on to our children.

Sa ating lipunan, maraming tao ang magpapahayag ng suporta at magbibigay ng mabubuting hangarin para sa ating tagumpay.

Ngunit kapag natamo na natin ang tagumpay, hindi maiiwasan na may ilan na magbabago ng tingin at makakaramdam ng inggit o galit.

Maaaring ito’y dulot ng pagkukumpara nila ng sarili sa atin o dahil hindi nila inaasahang magtatagumpay tayo.

Bagamat natural ang ganitong reaksyon ng ilan, mahalaga pa rin na manatiling mapagpakumbaba at hindi magpapaapekto.

May mga pagkakataon na kahit anong pagsusumikap natin, may mga bagay na hindi aayon sa plano.

Mahalagang matutunan nating magpahinga at magtiwala sa proseso.

Ang sobrang pag-aalala ay hindi makakatulong; sa halip, magdudulot lamang ito ng pagod at stress.

"Sometimes people with the worst past can create the most beautiful future. "

People with the worst pasts often develop exceptional strength and resilience, which can lead to creating a beautiful future.

Their experiences teach them valuable lessons about perseverance, empathy, and personal growth.

Having faced significant challenges, they learn to appreciate life's opportunities and strive to build a better life for themselves and others.

These individuals often turn their pain into motivation, using their past as a foundation for positive change.
