Life to the FULL!

refreshed! :)

2009-09-25T17:39:00.000-07:00

lately, i was so preoccupied with worries,things to finish and to prioritize.
since, i am now a senior student, more responsibilities are given to me.
i need to pass my subjects, review for the board exam...
i need to read a lot, pay for the bills.
assist in the shop, have my duty,pass my requirements and enough of the mind squeezing exams.
and to add up, i was thinking of how is it gonna be after my graduation.
so so many things that preoccupies me.
i find myself doing more of facebook rather than reading my Bible.
then at some point in my life, i was tired. i wanted to give in and give up...
i wasn't aware that i was spending more time with INSIGNIFICANT things.
things that are temporary.
i was just reminded of the verse in matthew "seek ye first the kingdom of God and all these things shall be added unto you"
so for a week, i was seeking God.
another verse that struck my heart is that he wants me to walk in his ways. like what David told his son, solomon. (1st kings 2)
in the process of obeying God, all things fell in proper places.
while solomon was reigning as King, it was so peaceful that he had commanded his people to put up a temple for God.
as i practice this, i noticed my exams are getting higher.
it is true, i am really thankful that my God is real.
he is alive and he cares for me.:)
not only i got higher exams, i am also refreshed.
having Him in my life makes me complete

i feel like writing

2009-05-30T17:06:00.000-07:00

i am amazed on how God moves and does great things in my life.
blessing me with friends who are there for me.
teaching me things on how should i respond (many situations).
conquering my insecurity and boosting up my strengths.
i really taught i lost all my friends after that bloody NCM 103.
i taught i lost Julie because she'll be leaving me and will go to aklan.
only to find out that our barkada will reunite again.:)
i'm feeling so blessed with my friends.
i never taught that this make up duty that h'm so frustrated about is a blessing in disguise from God.
i gained new friends.
now,i feel secured.
i never taught of having my duty at N6.
i really feel that God is teaching me something. :)
i know God planned this make up duty all along.

this summer isn't the summer that i'm expecting.
maybe this is the last summer of my student life. (maybe)
and if it's not, i'll make the next summer better.:)

i'm asking God if i should still pursue to take up medicine.

still waiting for his answer :)

love

2009-04-09T02:18:00.000-07:00

i asked someone..
what is love?
what does love really mean for you?

just feel like singing

2009-03-23T21:46:00.000-07:00

When I grow to be a Lady…
I’ll be a queen, a lovely queen
Walking in a garden shady…
In gown of green
with silver sheen
maids in gowns and gold shall follow me
And suitors of a high degree

When I grow to be a lady…
A fine and lovely queenly lady
Then my Prince will come to claim his own
And love will crown me to my throne.

i just miss my friends...

2009-03-10T17:43:00.000-07:00

I Can Only Imagine lyrics

I can only imagine
What it will be like
When I walk
By your side

I can only imagine
What my eyes will see
When your face
Is before me
I can only imagine

I can only imagine

[Chorus:]
Surrounded by Your glory, what will my heart feel
Will I dance for you Jesus or in awe of you be still
Will I stand in your presence or to my knees will I fall
Will I sing hallelujah, will I be able to speak at all
I can only imagine

I can only imagine

I can only imagine
When that day comes
And I find myself
Standing in the Son

I can only imagine
When all I will do
Is forever
Forever worship You
I can only imagine

I can only imagine

[Chorus]

I can only imagine [x2]

I can only imagine
When all I will do
Is forever, forever worship you

I can only imagine

We were strangers starting out on our journey
Never dreaming what we'd have to go through
Now here we are and I'm suddenly standing
At the beginning with you

No one told me I was going to find you
Unexpected what you did to my heart
When I lost hope you were there to remind me
This is the start

(chorus)
And Life is a road and I want to keep going
Love is a river I want to keep flowing
Life is a road now and forever
A Wonderful journey

I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there whenthe storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you

We were strangers on a crazy adventure
Never dreaming how our dreams would come true
Now here we stand unafraid of the future
At the beginning with you

(chorus)

I knew there was somebody somewhere
Like me alone in the dark
I know that my dream will live on
I've been waiting so long
Nothing's gonna tear us apart

(chorus)

In the end I wanna be standing at the beginning with you

>> nOthing's gonna tear us apart :)

still

2009-03-01T20:00:00.000-08:00

Still - Hillsong
Hide me now
Under your wings
Cover me
within your mighty hand

When the oceans rise and thunders roar
I will soar with you above the storm
Father you are king over the flood
I will be still and know you are God

Find rest my soul
In Christ alone
Know his power
In quietness and trust

-exodus 14:14
"God will fight for you, and you shall be still."

it is one of my favorite verse
i'm just happy that God is really moving and fighting for us
because He is not a God who sleeps
he is a God that we can call father

He is more that enough for me
and i can be still because He is my God :)

ouch!

2009-02-26T08:18:00.001-08:00

hurting just makes us human.

one life to Live

2009-02-18T17:47:00.000-08:00

we only have one life to live here on earth.
we spend it on the people we value most.
we spend it with our friends, family and special ones.
some also spend their lives in the things that they want to do. (tennis)
others spend most of their lives studying and working.
thinking of the time that had passed, i evaluated my life if i really made my life count.
i stayed for 16 years in Aparri(my town)
i spent 12 years studying there.
while studying, i helped in our business and stayed with so called friends.
i tried having relationship that i thought would last.
i tried to dump friendship for little misunderstandings.
i didn't study that much.
i spent less time with my dad and amma even we're in the same town.
as i looked back in my life, i have some which i regret.
it came up to my realization that time is more important than anything else.
i can't turn back time
and i can't make time.
good thing is that i haven't reached my 20 before realizing this fact.

life is short.
time is fast.

this life was given by God and i believe that we should return Him a favor by living this life for Him. :)

according to Psalms 90:12
"teach us to number our days aright that we may gain a heart of wisdom."

our days are numbered, we should spend more time in things that are important.
we must ask God to give us a heart of wisdom that we may be wise in where to spend this limited time.

i choose to:
spend time with God
spend time with my family
spend time with my friends
spend time in sharing what Jesus had done for us.

as i end this blog,
i want to share this line from twilight.
if you can live forever, what do you live for? :)

let us focus on things more important..

(isaac and rebekah)

2009-02-12T08:32:00.000-08:00

ever wonder how your love story would start? :)
you probably were reading piles of love story novels...

a cute story from the Bible gives us a picture of how amazing God writes our love story.

Genesis 24

When Abraham was old, he asked his servant (the one in charge in all that he had) to find a wife for his son, Isaac. Abraham was holding on to the promise of God that he would make his offspring dwell in the promise land, and part of the promise God said to Abraham is that his offspring(Isaac) would get a wife from his original country(the place where Abraham came from and where God asked Abraham to leave). the servant was quite unsure if he can get a wife for Isaac without letting Isaac go in that place, or if the girl will be willing to follow them.It is because according to Abraham, let not Isaac go in the place where he came from.

the search for the 1st lady :)

In faith, the servant went to the place where he is asked to go. He brought 10 camels with him and some precious gifts for the future wife of Isaac. when he arrived in the city, he let the camels kneel down at the time when the women is go out to draw some water. he prayed to God to make his mission be a successful one. he asked God that the one who will give him water and water the camels will be the future wife of Isaac.

out of all the beautiful ladies drawing water in the well, rebekah (a very attractive woman, whom no man had known) was the one he was looking for. the servant asked rebekah for water to drink and to his surprise, rebekah also water his camels. after seeing the miraculous coincidence, he prayed with thanksgiving for God does not only answers his prayers but also is faithful to his promises. he found out that rebeka's father was his mater' kinsmen. so he gave the gifts he brought.

on their way to rebekah' house, they saw his brothers already had prepared a place where the camels can stay. what an amazing God! (even camels, he is mindful of :p)

what's amazing is, the response of rebekah's family
"the thing has come from the Lord, we can not speak to you bad or good. behold, rebekah is before you take her and go. let her be the wife of your master's son as the Lord has spoken"

even rebakah hasn't seen Isaac, she still went and obeyed because she believed that this perfect coincidence came from God.

as they travel back to Abraham's tent, Isaac was meditating. (cant imagine how perfectly God answered the request of Isaac ;)) at the end of the chapter, a short verse was written. "Isaac loved rebekah." :)

-i'm just touched with the story of Isaac and Rebekah.
they are both in different places but still God made a way.
Abraham was in faith that God will do what He promised. (we should know God's promises so we know what we hold on to)
the servant was obedient and prayerful asking for the will of God. (be obedient, pray! be sensitive on where God is leading us to )
Rebekah was faithful in doing her duty, to draw water from the well. She doesn't know that part of her drawing of water is God's plan. (so girls, let us be faithful in doing things, whatever it is)
Rebekah's family was not against the mystical coincidence that has taken place but instead they respond with joy. (if it is the will of God, our family will not be against it)
Isaac's story while waiting was not mentioned in the story but i am sure that as he meditate to God, he is also asking God of the characteristics of his soon to be wife will have. that is why i conclude that the first time that they saw each other, they were both attracted to one another.(God will not give us partners that we don't like, ask and you will recieve)

happy heart's day.
i hope we are all inspired with the story that is God written.
wait..
be patient.. =)
all things will fall into the right place if we focus on God!

Dota

2009-02-09T21:39:00.000-08:00

i really don't know what is with Dota that made many people addicted to it.
so afternoon of February 09,2009, i asked one of my closest friend to teach me how to play dota.
we decided to play near FEU.
there were so many computer in the shop, 200 plus i think.
90% were playing the game (DOTA).what does DOTA mean anyway?
quite amazed, a little excitement sprung in the SA node of my heart.
frozen throne.
the character i chose was Razor. ;)
i really enjoyed playing Dota =)
i enjoyed killing the creeps :)
but sadly, i lost the game twice.
i realize that the game is a good bonding time with friends.
a time not quite productive but a time away from school works hahahha

while i was in class,
i cant stop thinking on when will i play again..

now is the time.
til here nalng.. dota na ko =)

i kissed dating goodbye

2009-01-30T21:05:00.000-08:00

i kissed dating goodbye by joshua harris
some of my friends told me not to read the book because it will somewhat distort the way i see dating.
when we won't try to look for our partner, then we won't be able to find our him/her.
but i say, why bother to waste time in thinking on our future, trying relationships that are not meant to be.
as i finished the book, i have realized that i must be faithful in the season that God is letting me experience.
doing the best out of it and doing the best out of my potentials.
when we have a God who gives the best, why should we worry?
if we are persistent and consistent in obeying Him, what in this world can hinder his will to reign in our lives.
i have read the book and i suggest that you read it too.
we do not date because it's not allowed
but because we have chosen to wait patiently and faithfully to what God has prepared for us.
to let his good, pleasing and perfect will to happen.

01-30-09,
when His perfect time comes, i know it will be beautiful..
i'm so excited to see my great love. =)

Felice di stare lassu

miss nursing 2008

2008-12-11T22:53:00.000-08:00

full of fun and excitement...
it was my first time to join in a pageant.
i don't know how i got here. :)

the crowd were screaming.
the committees were all under pressure.
tickets, curtains, emcees, sounds plus the pressure brought by Mr Chung, the chairman.

i was really not myself during the pageant,
i was smiling at the people in the auditorium(even in the backstage) as if my smile is plastered by a tape.
the lights are really bright.
i cant clearly see my friends, i can only recognize Camille (cuyos) who was the one standing and shouting and screaming.
there, i felt my gurl friends presence.
well, I'm so happy i have supportive friends,..
they were there all through out the event.
i was expecting someone to come, but sadly, tickets were out.

preparation..
during the preparation, leader (ryu) was there accompanying me and mama to buy the satin needed for my theme wear.
i had experienced riding on a jeepney with only 3 pesos in my pocket.
thanks to the man in white who gave me money for my fare, hahah!
thanks leader! =) thanks for reminding me that God is really great! thanks for believing in me..
and always telling me to do my best for Him. thanks ulit leader!!
now i know that God is the one who put me in this position.
my mom was with me all through out.
she stayed in manila for a week just to prepare for this event.
she was the one very anxious about my talent so she decided to hire a dance instructor.
2500 is expensive but she's really willing to pay for it and told me that i should prepare for my talent.
dancing for me is hard, i have stiff body to move. :) i know it would be hard for the dance instructor to teach me the dance steps.. =)
my sports wear is simple,peach in color. this part of the pageant is one of the part that i love.
i was praying to God for a long time that i can have a Nike shoes that i like (without telling my mom).
2 days before the pageant, my prayers were answered. =)
I'm still amaze with God's goodness in our life.
we(i and mama) knew that God was the one who provided everything.

according to Luke 11:9,10
and so it is with prayer-keep on asking and you will keep on getting; keep on looking and you will keep on finding; knock and the door will be opened. everyone who asks,receives; all who seek,find;and the door will be opened to everyone who knocks.

this verse tells us that our prayer gets results.

December 11,2008
we are compelled to go to the auditorium 7am sharp.
tired and a bit excited, i went there sleepyhead without eating my breakfast.
i still can't master our waltz steps.
i was still praying for the talent portion,
hoping everything will be fine and smooth.
after the practice, we voted for miss congeniality.
i voted for carla.
10am, i went in the canteen, alone.
eating all by myself, talking to God.
reading current events and issues about nursing.
and by 11am, my make up artist and my dance instructor arrived.
i practiced again but still i can't remember the steps simultaneously.
okay.. it's time to fix myself .
i have to do my best.
my mom and the whole Chinese Gen college of nursing staffs and faculty will be watching.

Theme wear: i was wearing a Chinese (mulan) costume and my partner is worrying if we look like Koreans. the theme is enchanted royalty. i and my partner were totally different from the other contestants. they were wearing clothes of prince and gowns of princesses. we danced waltz.
after dancing, the emcee came to us and asked who inspired us in choosing this kind of theme wear.
i said its mulan and her emperor. haha! i wasn't able to express myself that time. i stammered. haha! :)
we were the 1st pair interviewed by the emcee.
i didn't expect that there will be interviews on stage. i was surprised. i started answering the questions as brief as i can.
i wish i could go to the backstage and change my clothes. it's so hot. it took us 15mins standing there.

awarding of
miss photogenic: Kring Viray
miss congeniality: Angelie Chua
miss Theme wear: Jamie Chua

sports wear: golf or tennis?? still in dilemma. haha!! :)
changing clothes very quick is a special skill.
after the theme wear, we were really under time pressure. change outfits. retouch. change hair styles. change shoes.
i grabbed my golf bat and quickly i went to the stairs and made the pose.
boom! the curtains opened.
i was thinking of the way i practiced executing the golf.
it didn't register in my mind.
i was regretting of grabbing the golf bat rather than the tennis raquet.
tennis.swimming.air soft.badminton.football.golf.boxing and motor cross. :0
miss sports 2008.
after the ramp, the emcee came to me again and asked "candidate number 6,do you think you can win this sports wear competition?"
quite surprised, i was startled that my voice came out from my vocal cords, and i said "of course, because I'm projecting this sports well."
the emcee whispered "nice one!"
i smiled.
i don't know what source did i get that confidence.
but whatever that source is, i thank God that i did not stammer. :)

awarding of miss sports: Dianne (i forgot her last name) air soft :)

talent portion:
Volare.. oh, oh!
Cantare, oh oh oh oh!
:) singing in the backstage..
practicing the dance.
recalling each steps
it is my first time to dance alone, in front of many.
all of my co-candidates are good dancers.
i was really praying hard. (Lord sana masalo ko un tamborine pag binato ko, sana di ako magkamali, Lord, palambutin niyo katawan ko.. and so so...)
thinking of the expensive fee, i was determined to dance whatever it takes.
i will do my best because doing my best glorifies God!
candidate number 5's done.
it is my turn!!
my costume is heavy and long.
i went to the stage.
i saw my friends standing and screaming at the top of their lungs.
it is the 1st time tht they will see me dance.
i saw my CIs infront screaming and laughing.
i didn't care. this is my first time and my time to shine! haha!! :)
i was scared that i almost did not catch the tamborine.
they were all screaming!!!

Formal wear:
half of the candidates were wearing black.
i was wearing pink, i would like to thank occassions for my gown. :)
i really liked it. =)
at the backstage, i was the one taking pictures of my co-candidates.
very beautiful :)

miss formal wear: dianne again.. (i forgot her last name :) )

anouncing of the 5 miss nursing for the question and answer portion:
number 3: dianne (2nd yr)
number 5: kring (3rd year)
number 8: rose anne (4th yr)
number 6: angelie (3rd year)
number 7: jamie (4th Year)

i was asked why did i take up nursing as my course.
i said "nursing is not just a financially rewarding profession but also emotionally rewarding one.
it is a nice feeling that we nurses are becoming part of other person's lives. giving them care in their pains, sickness and suffering.(i forgot the other words that i had spoken).. thank you and thats all"

anouncing of the 3 finalist
candidate number 3: dianne from the 2nd year
candidate number 8: rose anne from the seniors
and for the last one to complete the three..
( i was thinking of ate Jamie. the pretty ballerinna)
all of the seniors were shouting number 7, some juniors were shouting number 5 and some 6.
i was called
candidate number 6: angelie chua..

we stayed in the backstage. the last q and a is the same for everyone.
earfones were put in our ears and we were locked in a room.
i was the last one to be asked.
i was praying for wisdom.
i was called

the question is:
what do you think of the nurses in this generation? are the nurses today better than the nurses before? what are the strengths and limitations/ merits of this generation's nurses?

answer> "i believe that nurses today are better than nurses in the previous generations, nurses before just do things without knowing its rationales (violent reaction from the old school nurses (some CIs) anyway, i wasn't referring to them, i was referring to the nurses before nursing research was developed). the strengths of the nurses today is that they do their interventions with rationales and they don't just follow Doctor's order but asking if the intervention is really for the benefit of the client. the bad thing about nurses today is that they are blinded by the high salary that other countries are offering. their focus is somewhat deviated by the financial offers. thank you :)" i smiled.

at the backstage, my make up artist kept telling me that i am the 2nd runner up because number 8's answer is better (strengths:technology ; limitations:focus=salary). okay.
i am happy because whoever wins in this pageant really deserves it because we have all sacrificed time, effort, energy and money. i am thankful beacuse we have made it to this far.
i was thanking ate rose anne for giving me advices on what will i be reading in NCM 102.
i was thanking Dianne for the friendship. =)

okay. here we go again..
2nd runner up: number 3..
1st runner up: (the seniors are shouting wild "six! six!") the emcee anounced with a loud voice, number 8!
i saw my mom jumping with joy near the stage. i haven't noticed her that she had gone that far from the middle row. i was looking at her with my eyes saying "ma, worth it pagod natin! :)"
miss nursing 2008: Miss Angelie Chua
to my excitement, i didn't noticed dean giving the placque to me.
i did not stop saying thank you to the people congratulating me.
i saw the gurls approaching.
i screamed!!!
i cant hold this anymore, i was jumping. i hugged them!!
my mom was on stage, we took pictures,..
our efforts, it paid off..
i was soooo happpyyyy...

2008-08-17T18:36:00.000-07:00

i rushed from st thomas to trinoma.
hoping to see my friends..
i really miss them,
its a perfect time to be together,
it's a double celebration
joy's and janmike's natal day
=)
We didn't expect that everyone (10) will come,
because some perceived things more important than this hang out.
it maybe because of studies, boyfriends, business...

little by little I'm thinking that
we are growing up.
life does not revolve in studies,
and high school's what-abouts, or in our schedule.
and it doesn't revolve in friends.
as we grow, we are beginning to expose ourselves in the community,our environment.
as time passes by, we spend less on what we used to do and open up to other experiences.
but whatever it takes. most of us finds time to show up and shares what we experienced.
we keep in touch once in a while.
coz we know we share something nothing can ruin.
our friendship

repentance

2008-06-01T18:40:00.000-07:00

We all have done things that didn't please God.
Some of us do it most of the time.
We sin.
We break the rules.
according to Romans 6:23 "For the wages of SIN is DEATH"
sin not sins. it means that a single sin can cause death. eternal death.
but through the grace and love of God, He has sent Jesus Christ to save us from sin.
that is why we are so thankful that Jesus came.
but wait. it doesn't end there.
in order for us to totally be save from death,
we must submit our whole selves to Christ and repent.

What is repentance?
according to wikipedia: it is the admission of guilt, and also includes at least one of: a solemn promise or resolve not to repeat the offense; an attempt to make restitution for the wrong.

Just being sorry isn't repentance. True repentance is brought about through "godly sorrow."

Comparison of Godly sorrow from worldly sorrow

☺Godly sorrow
►feeling of brokenness because we have offended Christ
►produces repentance
►produces spiritual life

☻worldly sorrow
►being sorry because of consequences
►produces excuses
►produces spiritual death

REPENTANCE BRINGS CHANGE

Change of heart
Ezekiel 36:26
"A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh."

Change of mind
Romans 12:1-2
"Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship. 2Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will."

Change of ways
Jonah 3:10
"When God saw what they did and how they turned from their evil ways, he had compassion and did not bring upon them the destruction he had threatened."

Change of actions
Acts 26: 20
"First to those in Damascus, then to those in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and to the Gentiles also, I preached that they should repent and turn to God and prove their repentance by their deeds."

Song of David after he Repented

Psalm 51:8-10

8 Let me hear joy and gladness;
let the bones you have crushed rejoice.

9 Hide your face from my sins
and blot out all my iniquity.

10 Create in me a pure heart, O God,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me

i hope we all pray and ask God to give us a new heart.
God is just a prayer away. =)

the moon represents my heart. =)
