Over a Cup of JAVA

Life has never been so soothing when I got my cup of you, JAVA. Soothing. Relaxing. Enticing. Rich. Bittersweet.

Oh, JAVA. How dark your essence is. How rich you can do for my everyday. Oh, JAVA. How could I never be wrong?

When I met you, JAVA, I ever said to everyone: "Hello world! I finally took a cup of JAVA!"

My dear, your Asian features enticed me. You can go public like the geishas of Kyoto. You can go private like the office women of Hong Kong. But for me, you are protected by me, my love, for you are like the dayang-dayang, a majestc princess of Indonesia.

You also amazed me for your work seamlessly everywhere. You are beautiful in the great Windows of the mansions of Bill Gates. Steve Jobs craved for your alluring body, and he made you Apple-flavoured. Linus Torvalds and his chubby penguin Tux wanted to hug your ever-enduring cups.

I met another named "C", then she grew up and multiplied herself with classes. Now her daughter is known as "C Plus-Plus." When we had moments together, you said she was your mother. Oh, JAVA, how great your ancestry is!

JAVA, when will I leave you? I think, never.

JAVA, let me know that I will always love you, for I will continue to seek your essences, your features, your stunning beauty. Let me be your language of my heart. Let me stay at my table for a long time.

JAVA, can we be friends?

When?

Many times I ignored God's little ting-a-ling when I am continuing to walk in His ways. The result: cursed, unfruitful, dry. But now, I could not take it anymore. I have to be in His shadow, under His covering so I can truly hope for a future that is in line with His ways. God is Good and I could not ever take it for granted.

While I am persevering in the Vision, I am still chained over by my family's unbelief that I turned away from their ways. I didn't follow them in how they pray, I didn't follow them in how they worry about life. I wanted to cry out to God - why did You have to say I don't have to worry about anything when my family tends me to follow with their worries?

Whenever I am spending time in the LORD, I come with revelations about my disciples, my life in school, my life in the ministry, but where is in my family? I don't know why, but how come He hasn't showed it yet? Is my heart not yet right to receive the Word that He wants to share to me while I spend time with Him? Family: oikos, the household, where is the "household" part here?

I am persevering in the Vision to win souls and make disciples. But what time will the LORD command me to share His Beautiful Gospel to my family - the family I grew up with, the family that I want to spend eternity with, the family I will enjoy till the LORD comes back again? When? When? When?

I wait earnestly for His call.

 ⁵ I wait for the LORD, my soul waits,
         And in His word I do hope. (Psalm 130:5, New King James Version)

Waiting for the Perfect Time

Dear friends,

I'm spending my 30 minutes on the Internet while the exams have not yet been starting this week.

Hindi ako mapakali nang nawawalan ako ng pagkakataon makipagsaya sa aking mga naging kaibigan sa Simbahan. It seems I could not think of a way to make up with my lost opportunities of being one with my fellow leaders in the Church.

It seems the LORD has tapping me to spend time with my family. I lost so much time with them when I am not around, being with school and with the ministry. Yes, I do believe in the 5 Priorities in Life: God, Self, Family, Ministry, Work/School. Sometimes, it breaks me to realize that I'm not enjoying the life that God wants me to have. It seems that things are too much tight for me right now. It seems a cloud of confusion has elevated in my mind. My mind has been functioning too hard that I could not concentrate on taking change in my heart, to set it to God's own will.

 ¹⁴ Wait on the LORD;
         Be of good courage,
         And He shall strengthen your heart;
         Wait, I say, on the LORD! (Psalm 27:14, New King James Version)

Waiting for the LORD's perfect time will bring me hope that all these bad things that has happened to me will not pass by with nothing. Everything will be fixed and I could not let it pass by. I have to work this out. I have to. I have to.

As I end the semester, I am waiting for the LORD's time - a time for the people around me to see that I have shined in the darkness of this fallen world.

In the mighty Name of JESUS CHRIST. Amen.

My FIRST 1.0!

I'm just so happy today that I received my very first 1.0 grade in my study in UP Mindanao!

I got my 1.0 in AH4/HUM1 (Adventures in Fiction, Poetry and Drama), under the supervision of Prof. Jhoanna Lynn Cruz. In this course, my mind was tickled with the many literature works that Prof. Cruz has shared to us - short stories, novel excerpts, poems, plays, even a 1950s movie adaptation of a Japanese classic! We ended with a play production that went very successfully.

So, I'm so blessed to have a 1.0; it's God's grace that worked.

More to come!

CNN International: Going Beyond Borders

From having you "be the first to know", now CNN International makes you "go beyond borders".

Since 21 September 2009, CNN International got its new on-air look and feel, with its new tagline to "Go Beyond Borders".



I don't know why I'm fond of CNN right now. CNN makes news more exciting for me. I don't know what I get from the CNN effect...
