No Topic, Just Mixed Sharing of Concerns

NO TOPIC JUST MIXED SHARING OF CONCERNS. 

Kamusta na kayo mga ka blog and mga ate and kuya. Masyado tayong mga abala sa kanya kanya nating buhay noh? Lalo na ang iba sa atin kasama na ako dyan,  halos wla na akong oras kulang na kulang ang 24 oras kung tutuusin.  Sa trabaho, sa trabaho at sa trabaho, at sa trabaho pa at sa trabaho pa ulit. Walang katapusan, kailangan kc para tugunan ang panganagilangan ng ating sarili at pamilya.  Kita ninyo minsan n lamang tyo makausap dto, kaya sinamantala ko muna na magsulat muli sa wikang tagalog kasi, gusto ko maging natural ang ating sharing, o english pala sharing hehehe. bahala na cguro ung mga nkakabasa sa ibang bansa at d nila maintindihan ang sasabhin ko or pinag uusapan ntin, hanap nlng muna sila ng interpreter. hahaha.  Well, taglish nlng ntin paunti unti para d ako msyado ma nosebleed. :) 

Balik tyo sa ating sharing, alam nyo, nakakapagod noh? nakakapagod ang buhay sa mundo, paulit ulit, gigising ka sa pagkakatulog, maghahanda para sa paghananap buhay, tpos uuwi kang pagod at matutulog, at ano pa?... Ay meron pa pala yung iba na oras magliwaliw pagkatapos ng trabaho. lalo na kung may pera ka at at gusto mo maglibang para mwala ang stress sa trabaho kahit paano. Hindi naman masama sapagkat hindi naman bawal ang maglibang kung, yun ay KUNG...nagawa mo na ang higit sa importante sa buhay mo, sa pamilya mo at san pa ang pinaka importante?? Higit sa lahat sa Diyos, that should be number one.  Ang sablay pag inuuna mo ung barkada mo, yung bisyo mo, na kahit pangtustos e wala ka at ipangungutang mo pa, para lang magawa natin ang gusto natin, o di ba? kundi ba naman mkakapal ang foundation ng faces natin nyan.  Na dapat sana yung pinanggastos natin eh ginamit na lang natin sa mas makabuluhan na bagay, una lage sa Diyos? nakakapag bigay ba tayo ng bahagi natin sa Panginoon? kung Oo, bakit? obligasyon ba? in a natural sense Oo, bakit Oo? kasi yan ang dapat natin gawin, para saan ba? obligasyon ba natin na bigyan ang Diyos? e lahat ng bagay ay nanggagaling sa kanya, Samakatuwid, sa ganang alam nating lahat hindi ang bagay o anumang salapi o materyal  ang pinapakahulugan nito kundi ang pagsunod at karakter ng bawat isa sa atin ang ating mga puso, hindi yung pagbibigay na nakanguso. Ano pa? sa pamilya, ang daming pangsngailangan, sa mga gastusin o bayarin, sa pagkain, edukasyon, gamot kung may sakit ang isa sa miyembro ng pamilya, ang dami nating dapat i konsider bago ang walang kakwenta kwentang bagay na pinagkakaabalahan natin o pinagkakagastusan. Sabi ko nga there is nothing wrong to enjoy yourself lalo na pinaghihirapan mo yan, kung naghihirap k nga, i mean you enjoyed it. but kung napapabayaan mo ang pamilya mo, nakakabili ka ng bagong cellphone, bagong gamit, nakakapnta k sa mars kahit mahal ang pamasahe at madaming alien tpos wala naman makain ang pamilya mo. walang panggamot, wala lahat  e d wow! ang tigas diba? e bakit natitiis natin yun mga ganon bagay? e kasi gusto natin maging IN as in "IN" sa barkada sa madlang pipol na hellloooo!!!  eto oh meron ako nito, or andito ako, pino post pa nga natin sa FB eh diva? 

Ang daming mga bagay na dapat nating pagtuunan ng pansin, nakakapagod na mag isip ng mag isip. Yung trabaho lalo na sa klase ng trabaho namen at pressure ng misis ko na si Elsa sa palasyo, super stressed kami, wala na halos pahinga lalo na ang aking mahal na asawa, e ikaw ba naman magtrabaho bilang basic needs provider ng royal family eh, walang pinipili oras. Pero bakit sa kabila ng pagod at sakit ng katawan at mga alalahanin eh patuloy ang pagtitiis at pag ttyaga? sapagkat ang kalakasan namen at pag asa hindi nanggagaling sa aming sasahurin na pera kundi sa kalakasan na nanggagaling sa Panginoon, dahil ang pag asa namen mag asawa nakabatay sa plano ng Diyos, alam ng Diyos ang lahat ng ating kailangan at kung aasa lang din naman tyo wag n sa tao. wag na sa kapangyarihan ng iba, wag na sa pera kundi sa Diyos lamang.  Hindi kami perpekto at walang taong perpekto, pero nagsusumikap kami na mamuhay sa kalooban ng Panginoon.  Nagkukulang kami sa oras, Oo pero ang Panginoon, kailanman hindi nagkukulang sa atin. Hindi mo lang napapansin, hindi natin na aapreciate sapagkat karamihan sa atin bulag. 

Madami akong gustong sabhin or pag usapan natin sapagkat matagal na panahon na hindi tyo nkakapag usap, at sa aking sarili na mimiss ko lalo si Lord, i have so much shortcomings sa kanya, pero its clear in my heart and mind na He is able to close the gap, closer than ever for me to reach Him.  Have you noticed? na we are having mixed sharing now? kasi ang daming bagay na gusto ko pag usapan natin, stressed ang pag iisip ko sa lahat ng alalahanin but im trying to get to a point na sa lahat ng bagay na ito, wala tayong dapat bgyan punto kundi ang ating Panginoon, sa kanyang presensya. Sinasabi nya kasi saken sa puso ko, ang dami ko daw nakikita, ang dami kong napapansin sa ibang tao, sa sitwasyon at buhay ng bawat tao, sa mga pasAway, that most of the time im gone.  Daming burden at di nawawala yan, sa ating lahat.  Oo nga pala, ano nga pala ang topic ko? wala nga pala akong topic, hehehe halo halo kasi sinasabi ko, pero kung hindi natin maintidihan, si Lord definitely He understands me.  But if you understand this, that means nkaka relate ka at stressed ka din hahaha.  So para mawala alalahanin natin dapat dial Psalm 55:22, 1 Peter 5:7 alam na!  

So pano mga ka blog readers, bros and sis, friends, need to sleep na, hopefully magkausap ulit tayo ng mas okey, :) But on our previous sharing you can read naman dito sa ating blog sharing ung mga nakaraan pa na ating pinag usapan, feel free to read and have your thoughts as well. Goodnight and GODbless you all. 

FLOYD MAYWEATHER VS. MANNY PACQUIAO - FINALLY STAGE AT MGM GRAND ON MAY 2

FLOYD MAYWEATHER VS. MANNY PACQUIAO - FINALLY!

Finally the super mega bout between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao will take place on May 2 at MGM Grand in Las Vegas. After years of failed negotiation, we can now witness the richest boxing event the world has been waiting for, they consider this as the superbowl of boxing. Two giants will collide on this highly anticipated, most lucrative boxing event about to unfold on our very own eyes. For boxing enthusiast, this is history in the making. FYI, can you believe? after Floyd announced their fight, in just 15 minutes tickets were sold! and even the rooms at MGM Grand in just 3 minutes are fully booked. This is huge, after all it takes a lot of agreement to make this fight a reality, split of the purse, gloves to be use, PPV buy sharing, network joint coverage from HBO and Showtime, random drug testing, name it, it has been settled and signed by both parties. Let me do now the famous boxing catchphrase by Michael Buffer... "Lets get ready to Rumble!!!!!!!!!

Lets make a point here one by one, or i mean better we call it round by round.. hmmm sounds great:). These two great competitors in boxing will not be where they are now for nothing, these men possesses exceptional skills, mind and body condition that transcends them into boxing's elite. Make no mistake about it my dear blog readers, this means hardwork, sacrifices and pains to get into best fighting shape they could be. Whatever preparations they have in the training with their coaches will manifest in the ring and obviously the best man wins. We all know that this is 12 rounds of intense boxing, each round these boxing competitors needs to give their best, stay focus and survive vicious onslaught from both sides. They will be hit for sure no matter how great in defense you are, even with that shoulder roll defense of Floyd because manny will be throwing punches in bunches from all angles, you may avoid one of those power shots but its only a matter of time you will surely get hit. Same with the case for Manny in different way, while Manny is a straight forward brawler-puncher with refined skills, Floyd is a defensive-counter puncher genius. He is best in timing, accurate punches and exceptional defense, he will exploit your ring flaws and take advantage of your mistakes and capitalized. Blog readers and friends, these is 12 rounds of survival, they need to stand until they hear the final bell. The one who is standing still and had better performance as seen by judges by their scorecards along with the majority will emerge victorious. 

Life is like a boxing, remember? you need to have all the necessary tools to survive and win your personal battles. You need to have the right coach to teach you how to fight and finish strong, there will be times in our lives we will get knock down, totally exhausted, demotivated etc...but these are all part of the process and your life legacy will not only be measured by flawless win but for every life falls that we bounced back strong. It is not on how many times we failed, everyone of us has failures and nobody is perfect except the ONE up there, Hello my dear LORD goodmorning! almost forgot to say good morning to my LORD, CREATOR and BESTFRIEND :) Okay, lets get back. As iv'e said its not about how many times we fall, its about how many times we stand up from those falls. I do believe everyone of us knew about it, but the problem is most of us does'nt know how to start, whom to be trust and be consistently motivated. 

The good news is, we have our great coach, our awesome mentor, who is always there when we are down, when we are in pain, when we are tired, when we are crying and upset,we just need to listen to His instruction and have discipline, to fully trust Him and let Him totally takes over you life and mine. This is the best of the best to win our life battles. Just like boxing, we need to execute the right strategy as taught by our mentor which is none other than our LORD JESUS CHRIST to be unbeatable like a roaring lion in the desert. Time will come at the end of our life when we are still standing? we will hear the final bell, the final sound that we are all waiting for, i do hope that your name will be called as it is written on the record, not on the scorecards but in the book of life. I don't want to hear any boxing like announcements such as "and the winner by........blah blah. All we need to desire to hear is like as it was written in Matthew 25:23. 

GO CART RACING - Life Sharing

GO CART RACING - Life Sharing.

While on go cart racing suite, i felt like i am Michael Schumacher, the 7 time F1 Champion.  By the way Mr. Schumacher as we know is gradually reaching for recovery after having severe head injury way back December 2013 while skiing at French Alps. Good news for His fans worldwide. 

Back to our business here, i feel comfortable wearing the suite.  I could see myself as well like one of those astronauts suite in red from the movie of Bruce Willis "Armageddon" I am on a mission to save earth from the destructive Huge asteroid about to hit the planet, and while on our way to our rocket the music of Aerosmith is playing in the background "I don't want to miss a Thing".  Dream on! not bad, afterall someone told me i looked like more of a power ranger than what i have thinked.  But guess what, we enjoyed the day and once again my only purpose is to learn something new, not the game itself but the nature of game comparing to real life.  As usual, you have to wear the right sport gear for racing, the helmet is very important, you have to listen to the rules, otherwise you would be penalized.  There were flag signals that we need to follow each color has its own meaning, like slowing down, changing driver, stop, one more lap, and so on so forth, you need to follow those signals or you will be in trouble.  

Racers are positioned, we are just waiting for the green light...and GO! wow, so everyone starts fast and driving fast, in less than 1 minute there is collision and one more. The car spins around, and still accelerating fast, maybe The driver forgot to step on the break. We need to be calm and be focus, we need to be more attentive each time as we are passing by each mark. I myself, i am thinking about time, i wanted to drive fast and finish the race strong but i don't want to be reckless and got hit or to be hit, i am aware that we are almost not professionals here so the danger of hurting one another is most likely imminent. So as the race progresses, i decided to play it safe while abiding the rules and signals, i finished my turn as the flag waves to change driver, its time for my team mate to take the driver seat.  I told him, give your best bro, but be careful. Goodluck. 

So, as you can see i just make this simple and short, just to let you know, while on the race for atleast 5 laps, I've seen and learned many things. I learned that racing for beginners like us is not just about starting strong or fast, its about going intelligently, because from that point you will understand there were things you need to consider, we all want to win but if i am going to hurt myself or hurt others just to get to finish line? i won't do it. Ofcourse professional racer does because it takes them a lot of experience and practice, they already know how to act at any given situation while on race, these are all professionals and yet not all of them will win, you have the 3rd, 2nd, and 1st place but there is only one legitimate winner, the one who reached the finish line first, with a lesser time recorded.  The secret of winning? other than practicing and skills, experience plays a big factor on this competition along with discipline and right motivation. 

Back to reality, we are in a life journey that we need to take on seriously. We have goals and dreams that we are striving to reach and accomplished. We can see what the world is offering from the horizon and we believe that we can reach for it no matter what, because this is your dream, this is everybody's dream.  At one point in your life you told yourself, i need to start now, i need to press on towards the mark, i need to cross the finish line, blah blah blah. There is nothing wrong of having a dream when you are gradually reaching for it in a nice and fair way, inch by inch you will still reach everything you dreamed of when you have the right perspective in life, right discipline and self respect? why do i mention self respect? because when it comes to dream? most of us wants to take it or reach for it in a harsh way, obsessions comes, selfishness because you don' t care for others, you will do it on your own terms on your own rules by stepping to others until you reach the peak of your dream, even if it would cause them their lives.  You will still press on the gas of your desire, nobody could stop your way coz they will be sorry and got hit, you are not following any rules in life or signals, Everything that you are doing now is immorality. 

Fast forward. You already achieved your goal and reached the finish line of your dreams? whats next? Are you proud of yourself? Is your family proud of you? your sons and daughters? your whole family, friends? Is this the dream you want to let them live? You know what the problem is? turn your head back, did you see those car wrecked? bodies lying on the ground when you hit them until they are lifeless? Un-literally, the car wrecked are the families that you destroyed when you deprived them to run their life and live. you took everything that supposed to be for them, even the food that they will swallow once a week, not once a day, hey! you did took and feed your self. How about the bodies lying on the ground? these are the people that you pulled down, fabricating stories, destroying their reputation and dignity while you are reaching the top. This is an excellent demolition job. 

Friends, and blog sharing readers.  Everybody wants to fulfill their dreams.  The points that we shared here is very common wherein there is no need for any argument, this is the society, the world that we are living nowadays.  I salute those persons who did conquer the race of their life, the finish line where the prize awaits them, they have reached the top without inflicting any moral damage to others and to his/her own. Obviously when you hurt others, you are hurting yourself as well. when you destroy others, you are destroying yourself, this is what human collision is all about. 

When we finished the go cart race, i could tell you that i made the right decision, i did not push myself fast to the point of running all over them but i settled reaching the finish line safe and fair.   

And hey!  listen... I do know who really wins the race, I even talk to that guy, even the record shows that He is, but you know what? when the name of the winner announced?  He didn't win. The reason?  I don't know either, the only thing that i am sure is that the declared winner should not be the winner, so what went wrong? the clue... ( read this blogsharing again).  :)

LOVE MEANS?

LOVE MEANS???

Every February 14 we are celebrating hearts day! This celebration reminds us about love, love and love.

For me, the celebration should not only be intended for couples (Husband and Wife or Boyfriend and Girlfriend). There is something more that we need to recognize and expressed the true meaning of the occasion.  Love life or family wise. Think what you could possibly associate with this once a year special occasion.  For most couples this is the time to express more love to his/her partner, and hey! This time is also a chance to court someone we like especially for us boys we intend to give the best possible gift to impress the woman that we like and love.  We gave bouquet of flowers, chocolates, we go out for a romantic dinner date, we make surprises eventhough we don’t have enough money, for sure we will find solution right guys? Hehehe. Ano ginagawa ng sanlaan? At bumbay???  How about serenading the woman with a song/music the woman that we love? How sweet and cheesy!!!! Is this still existing nowadays? I love to hear the story of our grandparents, they may have the best love story I could tell you.

I really don’t know how I could deliver this hearts day edition blogsharing.  I am mentally tired but not mentally retarded, just to make it clear huh. Hahaha.  Let’s just be reminded everyone that love is a universal language which is easy to understand and I want to emphasize the meaning of celebration in a more appealing yet natural sense. There is a saying...”You can give without love, but you cannot love without giving” Isn’t true? This is self explanatory right? One more, love means sacrifices. I remember one part of the song lyrics that says “When you love someone you gotta learn to let him/her go”? I love you goodbye? Sacrifices right? So what does these means? Eventhough it will cause a lot from us, whether it is emotional, physical or financial name it we will do for the sake of love.  In the family our parents expressed how they loved us from the time we were born until the time you are reading this now, they made enormous sacrifices to raise us and give us better life, they loved us more than their life so to speak.  There were times that they are physically sick and tired but they cannot afford to stop because they loved us. Now, did you already greet your Mom and Dad happy hearts day and told them how much you love them? It’s not by material things but the best thing you could give them is yourself.  We like it or not, time will come that they will not be with us anymore, don’t let it slip away and let them feel they are loved more than things of this world.  While you are reading now, regardless of which part of this world you are living, you may have a natural questions or argument such as “How could I do that when I belong to a broken family? Or I hate my father or mother coz they leave me, they don’t love me at all etc etc..Well this may be the time to make things correct because love means forgiveness and restoration.  Pride should not co-exist with love, you will not understand and feel the real meaning of love when you are blinded by hate and pride.  Give it up and start a new day to express your love for them not tomorrow but today, because as I always say “Today Matters”.  As you can see the celebration is not only about some cheesy moments from the woman that you like, from your wife of husband to rekindle first love, don’t get me wrong there is nothing wrong with this and this is a part of it.  I am only sharing the other side of the love story which should not be one sided but side by side. Oh! One more thing that I want to share with you and this is best of the best! You know what is Agape love? Yes. This is a greek term which means Godly love a very unique love.  Read your bible in John 15:13.   I will not write it here anymore so that you could have an effort to open your bible, as you can see it is dusty, when was the last time you opened it? And when was the last time you opened your cp message inbox? I could tell you when you open your bible and start learning the word, your life will never be the same and you will understand what is the real meaning of hearts day celebration, the real meaning of LOVE. GOD LOVES YOU and HAPPY HEARTS DAY EVERYONE J

LIFE SHARING - PAINTBALL GAME

PAINTBALL - LIFE SHARING

Wayback November 2013, on our blog sharing I wrote about that life is like a boxing.  We can read it again and again to remind ourselves that life is not easy, unless you are motivated, inspired and have a definitive plan “life structure survival” to execute till your journey in life ends.

Yesterday, February 12, 2015 we attended and participated on the 3^rd Annual Team Building that was hosted by Al Ain Holdings and Al Dahra Agriculture at Al Forsan International Sports Resort at Khalifa City UAE.  We have attended several team building on most occasions and we can definitely say that this is an event wherein we can pause for a while from the work toxics of corporate world where we enjoyed participating on all sorts of sports or tasks which teamwork should be the main factor for winning. But what is the real meaning of Team Building? Just to recap, in Wikipedia this is how it defines “Team building is the use of different types of team

interventions that are aimed at enhancing social relations and clarifying team members' roles, as well as solving task and interpersonal problems that affect team functioning.  There are many different definitions for team building we can get, regardless of how they define this two connecting words which is more likely to be the same, it would only fall to one word definition with finishing touch…”UNITY and APPLICATION.  It specifies the importance of knowing your role and teamwork to make a given task accomplished and successful in real world.  Do I need to mention that this is very important on our work? On our companies? Nah nah. Absolutely this is part of that purpose.

As for me, I decided to participate on this event expecting something different, something that I could learn and compare from my own personal life and other’s life. That is why on the first paragraph of this blog sharing, I mentioned about life symbolized by a boxing sport.  But by the way, I would like to crack this blog sharing into two separate points.  You think we can still finish this blog sharing? I am still at work and not that busy because gladly there is no office today and its already 4:13pm. Hahahah, I will miss again the service bus.  But no worries, I’m used to it. Toinks! 

So here we go.  The sports on the event yesterday are go cart racing, paintball, archery and shooting. Unfortunately we didn’t have the chance to participate on the shooting because we came to the venue late for some reasons, otherwise we would be champions, asa pa! hahahaha.  Well we have a chance for sure if kernel and Sir Otep is with us, they will be busted up, hak hak. I remember vividly Sir Arnel told me last week that we will be bringing the championship to Sheikh Hamdan Palace and those trophies and medals displayed on our cafeteria are bogus and should be replace with real golds.  Did I have any doubts on my mind? Nah… nah…after all Sir Arnel is an Archery player wayback, naks! Sir.. if you read this, my treat huh? Hahahaha. (kidding).

My friends, bro and sis, blog readers this I what I learned and I want to share it with you. Let’s breakdown one game per blog. (We need to divide our sharing because this is too long, I have

Much to share with you guys). hahaha

-PAINTBALL GAME-

I remember the moment when we wear our paintball battle suite, I am imagining how it is like to be a soldier and preparing for a battle. Though I want to seize the moment and enjoy I need to think that I am heading for a real war to fight and survive, fire with fire. This is what I am here for, to learn something and understands that when this is all over and the smoke is clear, I could see the real world with no further explanations.  To start with, we have our briefing (rules and mechanics) our gear is on ready for battle. 

This is the moment, while we are heading to the area I am thinking that this is the battlefield, no turning back, I need to get out a here alive when this is all over as a gazed the dome shape venue.  When we enter inside the ambiance is quite different and the ground is muddy, not a good idea that I wear white shoes that time, grrrrr. I need to clean hard afterwards or else I will have a lecture from my baby wife. Ahehehehe. By the way, the first game was elimination.  There were two teams, black and red, and we are the red team, approximately I think we are almost 20 each team.  So we need to eliminate each and every member of the other team for us to win, this is last man standing.  You will be out of the game once you are hit in the helmet and the chest, no shooting at the back and close range shooting for about or less than meter distance? As far as I remember after all, the bullet will hurt you badly if you don’t have gears and helmet, we are talking a paintball gun that shoots with at a standard velocity of 200mph, enough to pop up your eye and which will cause you to be blind and even to some other parts of your body when you got hit. Awwwww! 

So to make this short, we were deployed, we are standing our base positions on defense mode. First thing that comes to my mind, I need to survive and not get hit. I need a strategy, this is not

about fire with fire, not about bravery I need to use my head and analyze the situation.  I recall what does the man told us on the briefing that we will be eliminated and considered as dead if we got hit on the helmet and the front vest and including if you are already out of bullet. As far as I remember, hahaha. I started to fire one shot just to feel the situation and move from the other side of the wall, I noticed that I can’t run that fast because the floor is muddy, though this is a game we need to win and somehow take it seriously, again I reminded myself this is what I came for to learn and understand life.  Firing from all areas,  you can  hear the sound of the paintball bullet hitting all places, its’ like a rain, like a real war.  I covered myself for a while and can still feel the impact of the bullets hitting the wall to which I am hiding, this is a wooden wall.  I remember that moment if that is a real bullet, I’m dead. They are shooting there and there, I need to be cautious while advancing to the other side.  I remember I eliminated atleast 3 participants, and one by one I could see that some members from the other team was eliminated and for us too, one by one they were taken out, others have been hit and others runs out of bullet. I just keep myself thinking and thinking and make myself safe while firing and attacking, after all I am thinking as well that its only a matter of time I will be caught, on the other side as well I am thinking that  the game will end and we will be declared as the winner. I am getting tired running through the muds and running side by side, I couldn’t even see clearly because my helmet now is blurred due perspiration evaporation.  Again I am aware that my team mates had been eliminated one by one, it’s hard to go from here, how can we win if we are running out of members? Maybe this time we are only 5 or even 4 including me. I am half now of the area, there is no need to make any advances on position, I just need to make good hiding position to hit and not get hit (sounds like Floyd Mayweather huh? Hhahaha) I’m not doing shoulder roll, hehe. At one point I know that I will be eliminated even how hard I tried to be careful and cautious, this is my first experience of the game and somehow I know that there were participants who used to play the game and that would end my existence on the dome battlefield. I heard and saw that the facilitators saying it’s over. They are the one who is like a referee calling the shot if you are eliminated during the course of the game . Sound of firing stops  It’s over. I am tired.  I went back to our camp and straight ahead to the safe area to where the eliminated individuals has been standing. When I am walking they are smiling and laughing.. hahaha sounds like we won??? Somebody yelling at that we won, but to my surprise it is only that time that I know that they are smiling and telling me that I survived. I am the only one left on my team that had survived. What??? I thought they are  kidding but it is. The strategy works for me but unfortunately we are lose the match since from the other team they are still 4.  For me it doesn’t matter if we lose, the only thing that I know that moment is that I learned something.  Second round of the game has been on, I was selected to be the president for some reasons why, maybe im cute? No objection please J President needs to be protected, for a team to be able to win, the President needs to reach the other camp safely and not get hit, otherwise game over.  Again, I think again of a strategy and share it with them while we are preparing, but one of the member of my team refused to, and make his way to lead the plan and strategy, I think that moment that this guy knows the sport very well and I need to listen maybe he is always playing this kind of game. So we trust and do what He wants. Fast forward, we are loosers again for the second time. I didn’t have the chance to fight back and fire back or have my own movements or call my shots…I just only think that time that we don’t have a chance because, I was hit while sitting at the corner to where I was put to hide. My finger got hit and my right leg, it really hurts.  I actually have bruised on my left leg when I checked before I sleep that night.  I was a bit disappointed because the plan that was supposed to be a winning plan or strategy didn’t work because obviously there is no plan at all when I analyzed the situation. We trusted this guy to lead us to winning and only to found out that He just leave me behind only to get hit which I couldn’t even see who is shooting me. From that time I noticed that I don’t have anymore defender on my left and right side, because I was being hit and suddenly the troops from the other team walked in front of me and we are conquered.

Nahnah…hmmmm. Atlast it’s over. While we are walking outside to head to the next game, I talked to one guy on the other team and congratulated him and his team, I think He is a british.  I told them that we didn’t make it because I am only sleeping at the back and when I woke up it’s over, then He laughs, he told me he enjoyed the game and I told him I enjoyed as well. Then I asked him, can he imagine the life of the soldiers? On real wars? On how they risked and sacrificed their life to defend each and every one of us? It is not a joke, they leave their families to perform their duties and what happened to them? He just smiled at me and I didn’t got the answer that I want from him. 

That time when we are walking towards the next game I could hardly think of what happened to our Filipino soldiers namely “The Fallen 44” who are killed/massacred at Mamasapano, Maguindano Philippines on January 25, 2015. We know what happened.  Could you imagine the fight that they went through? I am only playing a paintball game and yet I can feel the risks and dangers, I understand well the need to survive and go back to the safe field alive.  These soldiers on a real world doesn’t have a chance to survive when they are crossing the death valley of wars, they didn’t even make to return to their beloved families alive.  I feel sorry for them, yet I salute their dedication and courage. It just happened that something was wrong that caused their lives, I think everything was wrong and not in their favor.  For us to be able to understand something, we need put ourselves on that situation, and the paintball game that I participated is one prime example.  Do I understand and learned something? Absolutely! Are you happy with what you have now? I don’t think so, check yourselves.  We are sleeping safe and sound at our houses, we are complaining most of the time, it seems like that we are the most unfortunate people in the world, though we have most of the things that other people is lacking, we are un-contented and not happy.  Whereas these soldiers risk everything for how much salary? they are eating canned sardines and a 5 years combat shoes? Are you kidding me? Where in the blue hell is that?  Hmmmm paintball… the game that I played, how could I connect something from this word “paintball” Let’s do something like this.  Since this is a two word combined together let’s make it separate like “ Paint” and Ball” and let us wrap up from here.  What is the first thing that comes into  your mind about “paint”? How about the word “ball” ?  Naturally, this is color and circle.  Wherein on the other perspective if we could just imagine, “Paint” for us is a variety of colors mixed, light or dark it could not only produces color “perse” but more than that is a picture of life whether it is colorful or not.  A “ball” is a round-shape thing which even when you tilt it would produce the same shape, there is up and down like the north and south pole. You know the best thing that you could do to a ball? Just place it in your hands and turn in round and round and round until you decided to stop, now check the brand name engraved on the ball if there is, maybe it is molten or Wilson? Where is now? on the upper part or lower part? On the left side or right side? In the middle? But you know the best thing that you could do? You could decide for yourself to where would you like to positioned this brand name. It’s all in our hands.

Just like from the previous blog sharing that we have, life is like a boxing sport.  Paintball really does as well, it does make sense.  But like all of these sports, we can get exhausted and we ended up stopping, our life is shaking and we quit. How can we understand life and win the life battle? It all depends on if you have the right perspective in life, the right mentor you could trust and the right motivation.  Do you know the secret? actually it is not really a secret,  you just need to open your eyes up there. Look up! He has your life, you just need to fully give it to Him and let Him take over and you will never ever lose any kind of battle. GOD’s purpose for you will prevail.

TOP PRIORITY

TOP PRIORITY

Just now mga friends and blog readers, GOD reminded me of something more important than anything else in this world. We have our possessions that truly matters especially on our basic needs for ourselves and for our family.  Don’t get me wrong coz there’s nothing wrong with having a convenient life, having

a nice house, a car, business name it there’s nothing wrong with that when you have overall control on these things. It is really absurd that most of us are on the reverse side wherein instead of controlling over all these things, we are the ones who are controlled by these things.  Just now I realized clearly that “control over” is totally different from “over control” You can barely ask yourselves which one I am in?

Even myself when I write this sharing, I feel ashamed because the reality is most of the time my mind is diverted from other things, temporal things in this world. I even spent more time for work, than to have quiet time with our LORD.  So what’s the point I am writing this? Simple, this is a general message for everybody, a wake-up call.  What happened to your favorite bible verses? JOHN 15:7? and yet you are still remaining in this world not with the LORD. How about Matthew 6:33? You know this verse since your childhood isn’t it? you even recite this during children Sunday school. What did you seek? Pleasure?

Self satisfaction?  In other words, what is your priority and focus now? Do you have any plan? We are not contented because we want to be appreciated and recognize with all of these possessions that we are in and updated on trends. Ang babaw noh? Ewwwww! What a shame.  Okey let’s make tagalog nman, sorry kasi we have readers from other countries and they need to understand our sharing.  Gusto ko lang now I emphasize sa tagalog itong mga susunod na sasabihin ko para masarap sa damdamin natin. Heheheh. SAbi ko nga before bato bato sa langit ang tamaan MAPURUHAN SANA! Sorry friends I don’t make any excuses.  Here we go.  Pag nasa church ka anong ginagawa mo? Nasa church kaba dahil sa mga kaibigan mo lang? parang barkadahan? Andun kasi mga kaibigan ko eh kaya dapat andun din ako, kahit hindi ko naiintindihan kung bakit. Kaya nasa church ako gusto ko magpasikat kasi talented ako eh, andun kasi ung crush ko, kelangan galingan ko. Ang popogi natin at ang gaganda diba? Tsk tsk.  Kunwari nag seserve ako kay GOD, pero kaya andito pa din ako sa ministry kasi may love life ako dito eh, si brother ang gwapo at si sis ang ganda.  Mas gusto ko kasi makinig ng mensahe sa church about sa lovelife kesa sa mensahe na mas makakatulong sa paglago ko bilang tunay na Kristyano. Ano sasagot mo? E Kuya Noel kasi biblical nman ung sharing about sa lovelife  na sinasabi ni Pastor or sinasabi ni brother, biblical yun kaya wag tayo judgemental. Hahaha! Wag kang plastic, kasi pag sinunog ka sa impiyerno ang baho mo lalo. Try mo, dba pag may nasusunog na plastic ang baho diba? 

Kahit bali baligtarin mo man ang sitwasyon, alam natin lahat kung ano ang pinag uusapan natin. Nag chu church ka? Eh d mo nga mabati ung kinasamaan mo ng loob dati? Ni hindi ka marunong magpakumbaba? Tapos pag worship nagtataas kpa ng kamay? D kba nangangalay? O baka nman hindi ka nagpupuri sa Panginoon kasi hanggang ngayon observant kpa din? Nagpapatuloy tayo sa ministry kasi para lang may masabi na may ministry tayo kahit wala na sa puso natin. Sa youth ministry kaba? Sa programming? Sa music? Sa word ministry? Elder kba? Youth? Prayer warrior ka? Usher? Anino ka ba? Kasi ang itim na ng pagkatao mo eh.  Kaya nga pag na rebuke ka ng Pastor mo or ng leader mo nagtatampo tayo agad, kasi ayaw natin tumanggap ng tama, kasi tayo lage ang tama eh. Selfish kaya ang lansa lansa ng amoy eh.  D ba tayo nahihiya nyan kay LORD? Wag tayo magtuturo ng pagkukulang ng iba para iligtas ang sarili natin sa katotohanan, at kapag may mali tayo accept it wag na tayo mag justify kung alam nman natin sa sarili natin na may mali tayo at pagkukulang, mahiya tayo sa mga sarili natin at  higit sa lahat sa Panginoon.  Wag tayo titingin sa tao, kahit mga lider man natin ay hindi perpekto, nagkakamali nagkakasala, pero hahayaan mo ba na dahil sa bagay  na un eh madadapa ka? Unang una,  hindi ka nman maililigtas ng mga Pastor mo, o mangangaral mo, sila man ay instrument lang kaya nag dapat natin pagsumikapan ay ang tumingin sa Panginoon lamang.  Bro. Noel, alam ko nay an… basic teaching yan, Weh? D nga? E BAKIT HINDI MO GINAGAWA? ALAM MO PALA EH.  Just to remind us mga friends and readers na sa Science though we know the formula and even made it unless we went through process and make it work, masasabi natin na tagumpay tayo.  Unless walang application and output quiet ka na lang.  Kaya nga minsan paulit ulit ang preaching kasi wala pang makitang output sa atin eh, wlang positive outcome, walang changes.  We are not really serving the Lord, we are serving ourselves.  True! Kaya when most of the time I watched a documentary clips sa internet about hell? Sharing about the reality of hell? D nako nagtataka na sinasabi na maraming mga kilalang tao dun eh, non Christians, and even Christians huh! May mga pari din dun, mga Pastor, mga Musicians sa Church yan ha? What does it mean? Kaya if you are not really serving GOD genuinely better stop now, kasi walang ipokrito na papasok sa langit. Brother and Sister, kahit maghapon ka magtatalak dyan at magkakakanta dyan at sumasayaw, tumutugtog, gumagawa sa ministry, or even doing some good works for others, lahat yan useless.  Pag minalas malas kpa nga baka tamaan kpa ng kidlat eh, dahil lapastangan ka sa kanya.  Don’t even think that you are holy or you feel the presence of God, kapag ginagawa ko ito, pag ganon, I feel the spirit of GOD.  Nah..nah…nah, hindi spirit ni GOD yan, baka nakainom ka lang, espiritu ng alak yan. Alam mo kung ano tawag dun? EMOTION, emosyonal ka lang.  Kasi ang tunay na nakakaramdam sa holy spirit ay may pagbabago.  Kaya pag nakaramdam ka na bless na bless ka, oh LORDDDD……I feel your presence, tapos madamot ka? Selfish kpa din? Pasaway kpa din? Mas inuuna mo pa din ang ibang bagay kesa sa LORD? Puro ka lovelife??? Puro ka pasikat? Hindi mo alam ang mga bagay sa mundo at mga bagay sa langit, hindi mo alam ang if you are compromising or not kasi you are not reading the word of GOD. 

Mga friends, bros and sisters. Mga blog readers, today is my dayoff sa work, sabi ko I want to rest and I did. After 2 hours of conversation sa skype sa family ko and I thanked them kasi pinadalhan nila ako ng bacon and salted egg. Hehehe I am very happy, kasi its not the item na nagpapasaya sa akin, kundi ung effort nila na they remembered me, msarap sa pakiramdam, I feel blessed.  You know what? Ganon din naman sa PANGINOON, it’s not about our offering its about our genuine thoughts and effort to make the LORD blessed. GOD knows if He is our priority, if He is the reason why we are giving our time and efforts, surely He knows.  Our time is running fast, we may be not anymore here in this world when the time comes, we don’t know but we need to do things and give priority to eternal things and not of this world.  If you are for GOD make changes today, if not you better practice to put your fingers on the fire.

Romans 12:2 “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Luke 12:34 “For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also”.
