Breakpoint

    In recent months I tried to re-evaluate how I spend my time. Last semester I felt that I could have done better with my final research papers for different courses if only I could've started earlier, researching, I could have had stronger arguments to put into my paper. The closer I get to the last weeks of the semester I had to start writing my papers for my courses. I tried to evaluate the daily routines and weekly activities that I do regularly both minor and major. On some occasions, I'm still vulnerable to enjoying too much of my time. Before whenever I went to parties or gatherings I was not the first few people of leaving or initiating to leave early. I had to be strategic on those quicksands in my life
"Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom."1 - Psalm 90:12


    Reading the word of God and even worshipping is in different category. The time stops because you are entering with the timeless being who created time itself. If you are truly sincere with the time in your relationship with God you would be in a trance. "There is no time when you are in spirit"2 of God, and as long as you are one with him. Speaking about time, "he doesn't care about your timetable."3 Even though you have planned ahead of time on the possible next steps in your life. You ought to have a sense that you don't control everything in life. God is the one who manages everything in this world and this universe.

Team Melana

  There were couples in the bible who met at the well. But it's different now, like Joana and Jomel. Stories may vary in the past, present, future. If you find yourself in one, remember, “Stay pure.” Words being spoken are his ultimate talent. With passion, he preaches the message to be sent. I’m sure he will not only shower her with sweet love but also affirming words like a hug from a dove. She keeps her friends like treasures, as what the prophet says. The community is blessed for the remaining days Where can you find Proverbs 31:30 woman? I don’t know, I would ask the bridegroom how he got one. Wow! A lovely combination of gifts from father. As they use it for the kingdom, it brings them further Our God is faithful always and worthy of our praise Let’s celebrate as Team Melana starts their phase

    Kobe Bryant started YouTube episodes called "Detail" after he retired from basketball. The channel features different NBA star players and Kobe gives his detailed analysis of every movement of the player. The idea behind the episodes is for the viewers to learn from these players especially the details that they might miss while watching them.      One of the leadership skills that I observe in the people I meet is playfulness. Do not underestimate this magical factor of playfulness in Tagalog, "kakulitan" If there is zero tolerance for you being "makulit" there is a tendency to interpret your sentences or words as "cold". "Makulit" or playfulness factor is tricky, especially in an environment where respect and formality are expected. Another element that should be considered is the "wavelength" for both the giver and receiver of the message. Whenever I send messages to certain kinds of people, it is valid and fair if they...

Happy Mother's day

     Wow. Time flew so fast. I vividly imagine during the first Christmas of pandemic era where I was hosting our church Christmas party in Zoom and her beauty stood among the crowd.  I can still recall our moments together when we all wore white and went to Fish Creek and recreated the post. I remember the times where we sang and dance to the beat of Backstreet Boys at Saskatchewan. We also drove all the way to Edmonton to buy some clothes from Uniqlo.       The first precious moment that we've had was when I offered her a free coffee one time and she accepted my treat. We then took a ride and she didn't expect suddenly we were in front of the Hyundai car dealership at 130th.  I attempted to convince her to come with me and she stood her ground. You were immovable.  A year later I found out that she will be my sister. What a surprised from our God the father. It was a great gift from heaven.  The NIV version states, "Every goo...
