hehehehe.. di ko talaga gusto ang history subject ever since.. pero every monday, parang puro history kami.. 8-11 rizal, 12-3 asian civilization.. and kanina we had our film viewing regarding mesopotamia.. hehehe ang title ng documentary _the lost garden of eden_ hehehehehe.. and ang kulit. hehehe.. kase parang sobrang overwhelmed sila na nagja-jive yung artifacts na nakuha nila sa history sa Bible.. [-wink-] hehe.. e kumusta naman? Bible nga yun diba..!??! =) hehehehehe..

kakatuwa lang kase parang some people kahit may ganun na, still di pa din naniniwala sa Bible...

tapos ito pa, our prof asked [nung discussion na sa zoroastrianism], is man good or evil? who believes that man is good? [they raised their hands.. almost all].. who believes that man is evil? [ten-ten raised her hand.. christian siya.. hehe.. ako di nagtaas ng kamay.. antok kase saka parang wala sa sarili.. hehe] then our prof asked, why...? hehehe brave soul daw.. hehe.. eh nahihiya siya sumagot at first.. ganun.. nung time na yun, para kong biglang nagising.. [both sa kaantukan at sa pagiging idle ng utak].. parang bigla kong gustong magsalita! heheheh

she defended her stand.. she said that she believes with what the Bible said.. [unfortunately forgot what she said.. haha! parang di ko familiar sa verse na un eh.. ewan kung quote lang un..] kala ko sasabihin niya, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.. hehehehe

well... man is indeed evil.. =) that's my answer... pero wasn't able to speak kase after ten-ten explained, parang sabi ng prof, she wants to believe that man is good... etc.. then another classmate, daryl explained his side.. [pero magulo! hahahaha] nagtaas na ko ng kamay kase i want to speak.. yun nga lang, nagsalita ulit yung prof.. naghahabol na ng oras...

pero if i were given a chance, i would say that indeed man, naturally, is evil.. but the evil things come from his heart... if man is good, would he ask help from God..?
my prof said, "I want to believe that man is good... though minsan nagkakasala pero good pa rin.." something like that.. haha! i wanted to butt-in..!! hehehe... one liner lang naman sasabihin ko eh,

man is evil... that's why he needs God..=)

But we were created in the image and likeness of God. Inherently good. But imperfect and fallible. Tainted by sin. That's why we need God's grace. :)

Sino'ng prof mo sa Asian Civ at Rizal? Mahusay na propesora si Ma'am Teresa something (forgot her surname). At nagchu-church 'yun sa COG-D. :) "Semi-spiritual" nga description niya sa sarili niya noong first day of class namin sa Asian Civ.

Issues of the mom-heart

I've read somewhere that everyone's miserable. They're just good at hiding it. I have been trying to find out why this new season seems to be a burden to me. Don't get me wrong -- I enjoy motherhood and I love my little one but something seems to be blocking my view of experiencing it joyfully.  Callie's already 10 months and everything just dawned on me -- why I was struggling, why I can't see things the way it should be, why I felt ineffective and frustrated and depressed. I think I just had post-partum depression.  I just got back from my US business trip and I just bursted into tears a few days after while singing Jesus loves me -- as if I'm telling that to myself. I'm grateful that I have a husband who listens and understands and encourages me that I can do it! I just realized the root cause(s) of what's going on after that incident. I was too attached to Callie that I don't want her to leave my site when I'm with her. I

Maturity

By
I was reading a long-overdue-book and I bumped into this: I have been married for almost two years now and I suddenly reminisced my late teenage years... It was in those years when God made me realize that maturity doesn't come with age... I was younger then, when I understood this very excerpt from the book Let Me Be a Woman (funny how everything He taught me is already in this book had I not stopped reading it! Indeed His humor is amazing). I started reading this way back 2007 or 2008 only to continue it now and read this now. I stopped reading it way back then because I don't have plans of getting married yet... little did I know that He will make me understand this in His own personal way. And right now, I was like, "So Lord, You must be saying, 'I told you so..' right?" haha! ...  The key to meeting your better half starts with maturity. And maturity comes from God.   To those who are still searching for their better half, don't. Don&#

Exodus Moses brought Joseph's bones out of Egypt when God freed them. Joseph made his family swear under oath that when God pays them a visit, they have to carry his bones with them. Joseph mentioned that surely, God will take them to the land He promised Abraham, Isaac & Jacob. Maybe, Joseph's brothers tell this to their sons & daughters so even after x number of years, they are still reminded of Joseph's request. The Israelites know that the time will come when God will take them out of Egypt but maybe they just didn't believe so He needed Moses to perform the miracles, that they might know Him, trust Him and believe in Him. Sometimes, we know what God said and what God promised us... but when it's already in front of us, it's hard to determine that God is already moving. Why? Because we are comfortable with the misery that we are in to. It dulls our senses and makes us forget the promise of God. Be careful with where you are right now.
