back to school.
i had my first class this morning (at 7am, would you believe?), and for a change, i wasn't late (you see, that's what i get from a month-long training at Kawayan Camp). it's my first time in all my almost-four years in college to have a class that early. usually, i won't take a 7o'clock class because as you all very well know, i'm an insomniac. this semester however, i didn't have any choice... this is a major class i can't afford to drop. is this good or is this bad?

computer geek all over again.
my big problem now is... our computer was upgraded once more to XP (thanks to our now-official family computer technician, hobbes) and the system's sooo nice i can't keep my hands off it. to give you an idea of what i meant, i spent the whole afternoon til now (6 hours) fiddling with it, and downloading stuff from the net. i even thought of making a new layout for this site but base from experience, i'd probably need about a week to do that so i updated some pages (links section) na lang. arrrg. good or bad?

more updates.
i've finally seen Bruce Almighty, and just like most of you, i like how it ended.. i know the movie's supposed to be funny but as it came to an end, i found myself in tears. i still have so much to say about the movie. maybe some other time.

finally, i miss someone so much. is this good or bad?

reflections.
one thing i've learned the past 24 hours is that there will be times in our lives when God would allow us to be down in order to see how powerful He can be... that He would allow tears to fall from our eyes to clear our vision... and in our lowest points, He will be the one who'll lift us up...

we may not know why God puts us in seemingly un-just situations, but what we should know is... His ways are higher than ours and His wisdom is way beyond our comprehension. so all we have to do is to take one leap of faith and trust Him.

meanwhile, as He works His ways, He sends His love and comfort through those people He blesses us with... and at the end of the day, after all the tears have gone dry, God will always give us something to smile about...

first day.
it's the first day of the month.

i can't believe that school's gona start again in a few weeks.. it seems like just a few days ago, i was cramming with my two thesis-buddies, trying to beat a major deadline.. and later on, dragging up my luggages on a habal-habal (a motor cycle with a 3-passenger capacity) to Camp Bato, Sibonga, Cebu for a month-long IVCF Leadership Camp… and much later on, on my way back to Manila with my eyes swollen red because of tears… both of sadness and joy (read the past blogs)…

and then again, just a few days ago i was a teenager (er, yeah… my transition-from-teenagedom-to-adulthood drama is not yet over), without much direction, afraid of what may come... but now, here I am… a 20-year old, still the same insomniac i’ve always been, but filled with renewed hope and faith as I look forward to what God has in store…

this week, I’ll be enrolling for the first semester of my senior year. yay.. i’m going to be a senior. i’ll have my grad pic taken any time soon. and I’ll be graduating, hopefully, in less than two years… it excites me so much and yet, i couldn’t help but feel a bit scared still, once in a while… i’ve been experiencing a lot of transitions and i’ll sure be having more of that in the next few months/years to come… alongside would be more stress, challenges, people, research papers (oh no!), trials, and all those things that make life what it should be… but then again, through all these, i know that God will be my strength, as He has always been…

i’m not bothered anymore.
...and so the drama of my life continues. but one thing i'll make sure of.. this is one story i won't hold the pen on... coz i was once again reminded that from then, til now, He is the author this book called My Life... and knowing this, i know there's nothing to worry about...
