thoughts

hirani na it holy week, i miss those days having a solemn meditation and feeling close to Him. Those days when you feel His presence and a certain feeling of warmth... Those were the days when my mind was not yet busy thinking a lot of things... those were the days when i used to think of daily recreation, Saturday Outing which usually last for only 4 hrs... and studies... prayers... studies... and more prayers...

our chapel was just several steps away from the Hall, the dorm and wherever you were... a daily mass and reflection, daily rosary, daily "liturgy of the hours"... a prayer was just a thought away... less distraction... only you, a simple task, studies, and most importantly... prayers...

i can still vividly remember one time when i lost the Parker ballpen my parents gave me... i know they won't be mad at me but i was sad to lose it... then i went to the chapel to pray for it... sincerely... and several days later i found it near the trash can at the canteen... somebody else might have found it but, can we say that it was a coincedence that i saw it myself? God works in ways that are hard for us to fathom... reasons beyond our understanding and logic... but with trust, we'll feel secure that it is for a "better" us.

in the past few months, i felt my world move... it has been moving in leaps and bounds where i have never experienced before... compared to the last 5 years, this year had a lot of changes... it has become an active world again... what's going to happen? got a plan this year and i pray that things will be alright... i need God by my side to guide me and help in revealing His greatness to people i love most... i pray that He may bind us with our Love for Him first then with our Love with each other... but aside from this there are great things waiting to happen this year... and i'd like to take part on making this changes happen... i'd love to see the Philippines "move" again... i hope with Prayer and being actively involved... i could help a bit...
