While listening to my Superior during accompaniment last night, my mind was wondering somewhere around the net; opening my emails, blogs and prayer sites. Then I recalled my blogs..."what am i doing here..? Wala lang..." then i changed the heading for my blogs....Got to be inspired once more, many things to do with my kids and many things to ask from friends....Ganun nga lang siguro, por pabor lang ika nga, pero mahirap din ang buhay ng mga taong malalapit sa akin para idulog sa kanila ang kahirapan ng buhay ng mga batang kasakasama ko tuwing sabado. Nabasa na nga pala ito ng superior ko, e, ano ngayon. Mas nakakabuti nga na alam nya na mahirap din ang ginagawa ko, pero higit sa lahat, inspiring din naman. Salamat sa mga taong may mabuting kalooban, dahil sa inyo, napasaya nyo rin kahit papano ang mga batang masasabi natin na dapat di pagkaitan...Salamat sa inyo.

Is he my father?
While having an apostolate last Saturday, I was busy with the kids in teaching ABC and helping them color a page. I was so spontaneous being with them yet at the corner of my eyes, i spotted this two-year old girl staring at me then i heard her asking her mother, " Sya ba ang tatay ko? bait nya sa amin" I didnt know what to say to her except that i reflected and asked myself what made this child ask her mother like that. After a while, I asked the mother where is her husband and i learned that he is imprisoned for drug pushing then she defended him that it was a set up. I shrugged my shoulders believing my bias that he was. Looking back at the child, i felt pity and comapssion for nearly two years now, her father is still in prison and will spend eight years more to complete the ten years sentence for him.
How can this child live without a father who will teach her to write her name? who will look after her? I was moved into contemplation that what I was doing was supposed to be done by a loving parent. Yes, i am not her father but the moving Spirit gives us life to see everything even in the eyes of a child.

Innocence no longer keeps us warm
You see the world's no longer what it was for you and me
The people there no longer care if we live or die
The only time there's solitude is when we sit and cry
Sometimes my only peace is in my mind
Heaven help the angel sing
Heaven give the angel wings
Help him see what tomorrow brings
Help me set him free
Sometimes my walls run red so I can feel
It doesn't matter what it is so long as I can see
The reasons for my being here am I significant?
My education tells me yes but I feel otherwise
Sometimes my only peace is in my mind
Heaven help the angel sing
Heaven give the angel wings
Help him see what tomorrow brings
Help me set him free
Time's a luxury I can't afford
You see the carpet's shade has changed from what it was before
Heaven help the angel sing
Heaven give the angel wings
Help him see what tomorrow brings
Help me set him free
Innocence no longer keeps us warm
You see the world's no longer what it was for you and me
The people there no longer care if we live or die
The only time there's solitude is when we sit and cry
Sometimes my only peace is in my mind
Heaven help the angel sing
Heaven give the angel wings
Help him see what tomorrow brings
Help me set him free
Sometimes my walls run red so I can feel
It doesn't matter what it is so long as I can see
The reasons for my being here am I significant?
My education tells me yes but I feel otherwise
Sometimes my only peace is in my mind
Heaven help the angel sing
Heaven give the angel wings
Help him see what tomorrow brings
Help me set him free
Time's a luxury I can't afford
You see the carpet's shade has changed from what it was before
Heaven help the angel sing
Heaven give the angel wings
Help him see what tomorrow brings
Help me set him free
Once More
oh, once more, my dear
Let me feel you are here
Just like yesterday
Together we were very happy...
Once more, my love
let me feel you
breathe once more
once more my dear
Departing is painful
hopeful to be back again
looking to the future
looking through your eyes..
Let me feel you are here
Just like yesterday
Together we were very happy...
Once more, my love
let me feel you
breathe once more
once more my dear
Departing is painful
hopeful to be back again
looking to the future
looking through your eyes..
Way of Living
the time to be happy is now, the day to be happy is here....a song goes...
living life to the full at this very moment is a way of spirituality....spiritual experiences bring a person into a great depth of his own existence. religious experience supports this in order to be connected, grounded to the religion that somehow, leads to faith experience...change. mBeing in this very moment is living life with other people. we are all spiritual, we are all interconnected, where ever u are, u breath the same air i breathed, and breath the ancient matter that existed....confusing yet true, matters die, we die, we disintegrate with still exist...for others again...oh! confusing, tama na nga....masakit na ulo ko sa kakaisip!
