Race for Life

I've had too many dreams but I think what I had last night, was the weirdest.. and I think most emotional.

Most of my dreams were about being a superhero, action star, who fights with different movie actors and actresses :) Some will be about flying in the sky and travelling to different countries. Most of the time, my dreams are about my high school/elementary crushes, or celebrity crushes, then having our own love story/movie in my dreams :)

Last night, I dreamed about having a so-called "Race for Life". The setting was like in Rizal Park or Quirino Grandstand? Not sure. But everyone, including me, sat on a bench like what we can see in gymnasiums or in Araneta Coliseum (gen ad part). But the whole area is open, and on the opposite site, where the actual race happened, is like on a rough road, with a farm-like atmosphere on the sides. Weird right? Sorry I really can't explain everything in detail.

I was with my block mates and some relatives. We sat together, but the weird thing is it seemed like we don't know each other. Or we were not in good terms, I think? Then few meters in front of us, we can see the actual race.

We were the audience and we had our own 'bets' on the race. Then the race began. Everyone on the bench waited for their friends, families, to finish the race. The race will end after 15 minutes only (not sure) then whoever didn't finish the race, will die. Everyone on the bench was crying when they saw their loved ones finished the race, and at the same time those who still haven't seen their loved ones near the finish line.

2 minutes before the race ends, I saw my mom running. She's trying to finish the race. My friends beside me have their loved ones with them already and I'm worried because I saw my mom's face, she's sick and it's hard for her to finish the race.

But then before the race ended, I saw my mom smiling at the finish line. She finished the race! She made it! Then she ran towards me and we hugged each other! (Btw, I don't know why my father and brother wasn't there) Tears started to roll down my face. I just hugged her and thanked her for trying her best to finish the race.

When I woke up, I found myself crying. When I touched my face, I still felt the tears. Weird. Amazing. Still can't recover from my dream.

So what's the point of sharing this dream? I just realized how much my mom loves me, my family. That no matter how hard it is for her to keep on fighting against cancer, still, she's doing it for our family. Actually, she can quit already, she can choose to not finish the race, but still she's battling against cancer for us. She still wants to live for us. And I'm blessed to have a mom like her. I'm so thankful to God because He never left us. He strengthens my mom and gives us hope. I realized how important it is to cherish every moment I have with my mom. I want her to feel loved everyday. I want to see her smiling all the time. I'll try my best to be a better daughter.

And one thing's for sure, I'll always be at the finish line supporting and waiting for her. I can also be with her during the race. I'll run the race with her :)


I believe that God is our only Healer and He can make a miracle. I just surrender everything to Him and trust Him. I love You Lord! Thank You for the life of my mother!

My Bestfriend

Everyone has a best friend. I am blessed because God gave me a SISTER and a BEST FRIEND in one.

Meet Leah Sumiran Visey. We call each other "Pola" :)

Honestly, we're really different from each other. Magkaiba kami ng mga "trip" sa buhay. And it's really amazing how God put us together. I can't imagine my life without her. Naks! Hehe.

I can't remember when we became close or best friends. We were blockmates since 1st year college pero hindi talaga kami close. Honestly, feeling ko hindi pa siya nag-eexist non. Haha! Until we had the same group of friends sa classroom, naging isang "barkada" na lang kami. Pero nandun pa rin yung walls eh, I have my own original group, at ganun din siya. Still, thankful pa rin kay Lord kasi binuo niya yung "SF". Dahil sa group na yun, mas naging close kami at mas nakilala ang isa't isa.

I think nagsimula ang deeper level ng friendship namin noong naging official member na ko ng Horizon :) Naging ka-life group ko sila ni Chu with our Life group leader Mami Pau :) Hanggang sa umalis si Mami Pau, naging kaming tatlo na lang, then nalipat kami kay Nanay DG.

I am also blessed by her sweetness. Siya ang constant textmate ko. Haha! And siya rin minsan ang nakakapagpakilig sakin. Yieee :) Siya ang kauna-unahang nagbigay sakin ng rose, plus long letter! As in long talaga! We had our "monito monita" sa barkada last December and siya nakabunot sakin. "Something long" ang theme and yun ang binigay niya sakin :) Sweetness overload!

I tell everything to her. Battling for each other's hearts. I admire how Pola stepped up for God's glory. She is Radical Youth Movement's Vice President. I admire her commitment to the Lord and how she loves serving God. Though child-like (not childish) kung minsan, she knows how to be serious when it comes to her spiritual life. She has always been my prayer partner and encourages me all the time :) Blessed to have her! ♥

There are times na hindi kami nagpapansinan sa school. Haha! Di ko alam kung bakit :p Siguro di rin kami nagkakaintindihan because of insensitivity reasons. Haha! Still, I couldn't trade her for anyone else. ♥

I love you Pola! I'm always here for you! ♥

Ecclesiastes 4:12 "Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken."

Tear Down the Walls (Devo 02/29/12)

Jeremiah 30:17

Scripture:

"But I will restore you to health and heal your wounds, "declares the Lord. "Because you are called an outcast, Zion for whom no one cares."

Observation:

Putting walls hinders us from receiving more from God. We always put in our minds that no one can hurt us if we don't let anyone get close to us. But we don't realize that it won't work. Sometimes it hinders God's plan to take place in our lives. The wall you've built to keep others out has locked you in. The Lord wants to be our protector, but He cannot, if we are busy trying to protect ourselves. Our God is our Healer and our Restorer. He is our protector. Our comfort in times of distress.

Application:

The Lord teaches me to tear down the walls of fear that I've built around myself and tear them down through faith. Receive the healing from Jesus. When someone hurts us, take it to the Lord in prayer and be willing to handle it His way instead on my own. God doesn't promised that there will be no pain, or we will never experience to get hurt. What He assures us is He will be with us, He will be our Healer, we just have to let Him do His plans! :)

Prayer:

Lord, sorry for the times that I didn't trusted You and tried to rely on my own strength. I believe that You are my healer. You are more than enough for me! Thank You! Help me to tear those walls of fear around me. I love you! Amen.

Personal Promise (Devo 02/29/12)

Jeremiah 29:11

Scripture:

"For I know the plans I have for you, ''declares the Lord, ''Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Observation:

A well-known verse. This is a letter for the people who are being held captive and are in exile from their homeland. He's writing to let them know that although they're not where they would have expected, nor where they would have asked God to place them, God has not forgotten them and He still has a plan for their lives. Even in the midst of a very difficult situation, God wants them to know His plans! In the end, God's justice will prevail and everything will even out. What an encouragement! :) The Lord tells them to move forward, all they need to do is trust and believe Him! ♥

Application:

God wants us to know that He has a plan. It is his personal promise to us. He wants us to submit to His plan. Ang sweet lang ni Lord! ♥ He may not remove us from the situation that we're going through right now, but surely He will help us because He has a plan for us. Personally, this is the verse that encourages me whenever I am down or worried. I feel secured because I know God is with me. Ang galing no? :) Never lose hope lang. Ginaguarantee naman ni Lord na di Niya tayo pababayaan. There's nothing to worry! God knows what's best for us. We just have to submit to Him. Surrender, trust, believe and have faith in Him! ♥

Prayer:

Lord, thank You for my life. Thank you for choosing to save me and for giving the best for me. I surrender my life completely to You. I trust You. I love you! Amen. ♥

Goodbye College

Hello! :) So here we go.. After five years of "abandoning" this site, here I am blogging about the end of my college life. Geez! Time flies so fast that I can still remember the days when I'm really excited about going to college :) Hihi.

Actually, wala talaga ako dapat sa PUP. I passed the entrance exam sa UST - Tourism. That's really my first choice. But because of insecurity reasons, I changed my preferred course to Accountancy. My mom said na pagdating sa Accountancy, maganda daw ang PUP. Before, wala pa kong idea about PUP, I don't even know kung saan yun. Hehe. But yun nga, tinry ko din dun, basta ang goal ko lang noon is to study in Manila para maging 'free'. Siguro hindi will ni Lord ang Accountancy sakin, I passed the exam pero nagkaubusan ng slots sa course na yun. And honestly, hindi ko alam kung bakit sa Office Administration ako napunta. Haha. Lumipas ang 1 year and hindi ako natuwa sa course ko, My parents and I decided na mag transfer na ko ng school. Either MAPUA or Adamson sana, pero dahil inincomplete ako ng Socio prof ko (kahit di ko alam kung bakit), hindi natuloy yung paglipat ko ng school. To cut the long story short, tinuloy ko ang BOA sa PUP :) Hehe.

Here's my blog from my multiply account: (forgive me for being so jeje. haha)

See? Ang ligalig ko pa non. Excited kasing maranasan yung "freedom" na feeling ko hindi ko naranasan noong High school. Napaka-childish kasi. Haha.

Here's another blog from my multiply account describing my 1st week as a college student. (Again, forgive me for being so jeje and for being so rude. haha. 4 years ago pa to, nagbago na ko. haha)

Of course I stayed sa isang dorm nung una. I stayed at Villa Francisco Dormitory along Teresa St. So walking distance lang from my school :)

But because of "freedom" reasons again and as well as privacy reasons, my other dorm mates and I decided to transfer to an apartment. Unfortunately, I don't have pictures of our apartment. Pero malayong malayo sa itsure ng dorm ko before :D Haha!

So here we go.. My college life is not that easy. Though "petiks" na yung course namin in a way, compared sa ibang courses, still naging major problem talaga ang mga professors.

But wait, here's my ID. Buti na lang I got the chance na kuhanan ng picture nung 1st year pa ko. Kasi pag ngayon, sobrang blurred na. Haha.

Talking about my acads, 1st year wasn't good to me. Hehe. That was the first time that I've seen a professor who smokes in class (wait, I'm not sure if this was 1st or 2nd year. haha), professors who leave everything to the ST's (student teachers) and ending up guessing grades. So unfair! First time kong na-incomplete sa Socio and then 3.0 sa Marketing! :| Pero it was a good start para makahanap ng bagong friends. True friends! ♥

2nd year was the year na may Accounting subject na kami. And dito ko na-prove na buti na lang pala hindi ako nilagay ni Lord sa Accountancy :) Hihi. Unfair din kasi hindi naman talaga nagtuturo yung mga professors. Pero, okay lang. Siguro kung natuloy ako sa Accountancy, sobrang nerd na ko ngayon. Haha! Dito ko rin na-experience yung prof na namamalo at nangugurot. Yes, physical abuse ang peg! Grr. As usual, hindi mauubusan ng profs na nanghuhula ng grade. Wala ng nakakagulat don. Siguro kung may prof na fair magbigay ng grade, grabe, mapapa-wow talaga ako! Lol. Nag OJT na rin kami, we had our training sa Philippine Postal Corporation, of course with my closest friends na sina Choc at Chu ♥

3rd year was the most heartbreaking year for me. Heartbreaking kasi dito ko na-experience na bigyan ako ng W ng research prof ko. Hindi ko lang talaga ma-gets kung bakit may mga prof na kahit alam nilang di na nila kaya magturo, nagtuturo pa din. Students tuloy nagsusuffer. Ilang beses akong pabalik balik sa school para kausapin prof at ang anak niya. Pinasa ko yung papers na sinabi nila, pero in the end, wala pa din. So nag enroll na lang ulit ako ng subject na yun. Pero syempre, naka-move on na ko dyan. Haha! Dito din may prof na gustong laging naka-make up at naka-heels. Pero meron ding cute na prof tulad nila Ma'am Luna at Ma'am Curato :) Hihi ♥ Dalawang OJTs din meron sa year nato. First sa St. Luke's Medical Center, then nung second sem sa Mandaluyong City Hall (Legal Department).

4th year. Last year. Nakaka-pressure, pero slight lang pala. Haha! Nag-eexpect ako na magiging haggard at sobrang busy kami dahil last year na, pero hindi din naman pala. Though may times na naging busy din naman kami, overnight para sa website, defense at feeding program sa isang araw, etc. Last OJT namin nung 1st sem, sa school lang rin. Sa Office of Scholarship and Financial Assistance (OSFA).

This year is also a memorable year for me. Inassign ako ni Lord to be an officer ng Radical Youth Movement! Such a wonderful blessing! Room to room evangelism, Bible study, seminars, etc. Campus ministry is ♥! :)

College life may be stressful, pero masaya pa rin syempre pag andyan ang friends mo :) Nakilala ko kung sino ang mga totoo kong kaibigan. Those who'll never leave you kahit ano man pinagdadaanan mo. Tho who'll also bring you closer to God :)

Thank you Lord for sustaining us! Thank you for being there for me, for being faithful to me. A thousand times I've failed still Your mercy remains! Thank you for guiding me throughout these years! The glory goes to You alone!! I love You more and more each day! ♥
