Jade's Appendicectomy

Previously on Jade' Appendicectomy...On the dawn of December 15, as the lights in the neighborhood turned off one by one, the village wrapped in silence and enveloped by the crickets' snore, I received a message that gave the reason as to why I am being interrupted in my slumber.Wendy, my best friend's sister, beeped me saying that her brother's in the hospital and might undergo surgery in the morning.At the 11th hour of December 15, the operating...

Who could ever thought that a security procedure would not be that secured at all?I was checking my mails at Hotmail and bumped into an article in MSN.

Coeur brisé moi

Back to the Stone Age

It's a rainy night, i'm alone in my room watching "Artificial Beauty", first time since that I've turned on the television, you may be asking why it's because I don't have a computer, and I'm a CAVE MAN!I'm using my father's laptop, maybe he left it in my room because he's the one to blame why I've gone back in time. It's kinda boring when you don't have a computer at home, especially when you really need one. As of now, he's fixing a new CPU for...

100th - Centennial Clicks

Then I stopped writing because I gave my self away so much into writing that I couldn't hide my self anymore. But here I am again...blogging.Writing is an art, a way of expressing one self. And with it you have to give in and give yourself to your readers, pouring your heart in what you write. I think that goes to all aspects not just in writing, that we give...

The Corporate Ladder

My first week at work at last. Learning new things, yes there are adjustments but that's just a part of learning. While pondering on what to blog, I came across on what my perceptions are on aiming high and living your dreams.I grew up in a poor family, my father's a salesman, while my mom is looking after us and be the "ulirang ina". Even though we never had the luxuries in life, we're happy. And I think what matters is that when you go home from...

We Need Each Other: To Work With

For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Ephesians 2:10 (NIV) *** *** *** *** God put us on earth to do a certain work that only we can do. Ephesians says that God made us to do good works and that he planned in advance what we would live our lives doing. However, he didn’t plan for us to do that work alone. We need people to work with us. You know the feeling you get when you do too much work on your own. You get exhausted and burned out. Why? Because you’re trying...

Risks in Faith: God Multiplies

Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. 2 Corinthians 9:10 (NIV) *** *** *** *** If you give God your time, he multiplies it. If you give him your money or energy, he multiplies those too. It’s like planting seeds. Farmers know that seeds must be given away – sacrificed by being buried in the ground – to do any good. If you keep a seed in a sack, it does no good, but if you plant it, it multiplies. For example, when you plant...

SPIRITUAL TENSIONS

“The father instantly replied, “I do believe, but help me not to doubt” Mark 9:24 NLT After spiritual birth comes the tension of spiritual growth. The new life imparted to us by faith in Christ comes into a consistent collision with the old nature that is still inside us, the nature that has governed all our lives in the darkness of sin. As light came into our soul by faith in Christ a real tension is experienced. Tension between...

Here I am, Lord; Send Me

Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" And I said, "Here am I. Send me!" Isaiah 6:8The world offers a lot of things or circumstances to worry, unpaid bills, even..deciding what dress to wear for the day. But does it really matter? What do we get from thinking all of these? I guess that's one purpose of wrinkles...they grow, they start as thin lines, crossing your face and the more worried you...
