THIS IS YOUR LIFE
by Switchfoot

Yesterday is a wrinkle on your forehead
Yesterday is a promise that you’ve broken
Don’t close your eyes, don’t close your eyes
This is your life and today is all you’ve got now
Yeah, and today is all you’ll ever have
Don’t close your eyes
Don’t close your eyes

This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, is it everything you dreamed that it would be
When the world was younger and you had everything to lose

Yesterday is a kid in the corner
Yesterday is dead and over

This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, is it everything you dreamed that it would be
When the world was younger and you had everything to lose

Don’t close your eyes
Don’t close your eyes
Don’t close your eyes
Don’t close your eyes

This is your life are you who you want to be
This is your life are you who you want to be

This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, is it everything you dreamed it would be
When the world was younger and you had everything to lose

And you had everything to lose


* Yes, this is my life and i am who i want to be. Today may be the day i have got left and that's fine because I had fixed my eyes on Him who is eternal. =(n_n)=

Snowflakes

Like snowflakes, no two person are alike.
Celebrate your individuality.
Embrace the unique creation that you have become.

And learn to respect other's sense of individuality, too..

Katotohanan

10:59 PM | Posted by cha_jedidiah

After a long time, I saw Garner again... I had this feeling of wanting to hug him so tight but then the time and place was not right. We were in Jollibee Philcoa (hope you can see the picture) and he was engrossed in writing in our Navs' logbook. So i just said my usual bubbly hello to Seylo and Garner. I can't wait to read his entry as i see him scribbling intently. Our logbook was now dubbed as "the traveling logbook" (taken from the sisterhood of the traveling pants) and now it's with me. I was teary eyed when I finally read Garner's entry.
His story is for him to tell but my reaction to his entry is for me to write about. Garner is one of my closest friends ever! We have seen each other's struggles and triumphs in life. We even made this "world domination" theme and traveled to different places. I greatly appreciate Garn's honesty no matter how blatant or scary it might be. And it's one of the things I value, honesty - truthfulness.
I deeply appreciate Garner! What he is going through a tough time and admitting that he has those issues is even tougher. I do hope that during those "hibernation period" of his, he will be enlightened and may he always remember the great friendships he has! Iloveyou Garn from the bottom of my bottomless heart! :P

"Isang hubad na kariktan ang katotohanan, tulad ng iniidolo na lantay na kahubdan. Dinadamitan ito ng iba't ibang kulay upang pagtakpan ang totoo at di totoo"
---Teo T. Antonio

There's beauty in truth... and i do hope we have the courage to tell it. and that we may have the courage to be honest about the truth we are telling.

Cha: Accident Prone

5:38 PM | Posted by cha_jedidiah

My 22 years on this planet was spiced up with the accidents that I’ve been through.

I had 3 sets of stitches already:

1st: If you see closely on my left eyebrow there's a scar. I got that when I was around 7(?). Hinahabol ko ang kuya ko and then wham! I stopped and blood started to drip like tears on my face. I accidentally cut myself with a protruded nail (My ate even said na may remnants pa ng skin ung nail, ewness!) –reason for the accident: “ice tubig!” yep! Ayaw akong bigyan ng kuya ko ng ice tubig kaya ayun hinabol ko siya.

2nd: If you tried to hold my right hand and slightly brush the bottom of my little finger, you can feel a small bump. I got that during HS. –reason: I had this fave Digitel slim glass that I always love to use even if it had a crack already. After lunch, I was washing it when it broke. I saw a skin floating down the drain and blood started to mix with the water. I immediately tied a hanky on it and called my mom. I was crying as I was telling her “Madi ak makasurat ten” (I can’t write anymore) and I remember that my niece made fun of me at chinika ako sa mga kalaro niya na hindi na ako makakapag sulat… ampness na bata! Good thing the doctor said few veins were damaged and it would heal. True to it, I can still write!!! =)

3rd: It happened June of last year at Kuya Ram’s apartment in Katipunan. My left big toe smashed on the bottles beneath the sink and made an ugly cut to it. Menh! If only you can see the blood on the floor (para siyang crime scene sa CSI). So I put pressure to it and crawled to get my phone, Roy was in school for enrollment so I called Aivan who lives on the 3rd floor. Good thing she trained with Red Cross (haha funny lang while she was recalling everything she learned –tapping her forehead while saying “Red Cross, Red Cross, Red Cross) Reason: I slipped on the wet floor kasi “sinipag” ako nung araw na un to wash clothes (sabi na nga bang dapat di nagsisipag eh hehe)

So I was not that afraid of needles because I got used to it (with the stitches and the endless blood samples I have to go through). I even requested Doctors to make the stitches look pretty

I had also various scars in my body, like the one on my left hand (due to my biking spree in grade school), the one on my right knee (wah! It happened after my HS grad ball when I had 360 degree turning after because of that stupid cable na nakaharang sa dadaanan ko hehe)… and oh! when I was kid, the nail on my right big toe was cut into half during a soccer game. I kicked the ball so hard that my foot hit the floor. (good thing they don't look that weird!)

I had other bits of accidents (some were not as exciting). And now I am sporting a new addition to my misadventures. I have a sprained ankle after I twisted my right foot on an uneven floor last Saturday. I screamed big time as I heard a loud pop! (This was not the first time, since I also had this one during my freshman year. The Kalay Open House- I excitedly ran down the stairs toward the Basement Boys’ wing when I fell down) ~~Don't worry I still look pretty normal haha hindi pa naman ako mukhang Frankenstein

Now, I am limping my way but I have the luxury to wear slippers even in the office weehee

Think Tank

11:32 PM | Posted by cha_jedidiah

It's more than just conquering my fears.
It's me seeing how far I can go.
It's me telling myself I can do better.
It's me risking my life to truly live...

cheers to that!!!

OPEN 24/7

--> "In life, it's better to have a dream and give it a try than to live in mediocrity. It's better to give the impossible a chance."
--> "Great men are ordinary men who never give up."
--> "It is truly better to give than to receive. What you gain materially last only a season. What you give away to others lasts a lifetime."
-->"What will you give to the King?"

-quoted from the book, The Church That Never Sleeps by Pastor Matthew Barnett

These quotations are just some of the many things that made me stop and think... the book was a good read, it gave me tears, laughters and the constant nudge in the heart... made my heart beat a lil faster... made me think of the people i so much love and of the people i want to reach out to... It's about a church in inner city Los Angeles (that is a home for gangsters, drug addicts, prostitutes, marginalized etc) that is open 24/7 for the community. It helped the community by giving food, clothings, education, trainings, a place to stay... but more than that, it actually is a place of love. yup, LOVE, a word that is sooooo oftenly used by people in different ways and languages but still it doesn't lose its importance. Coz you see, Love is still much needed today just like thousands of years ago. Breakthroughs in civilizations haven't managed to substitute the very thing that one needs... and that is the feeling to be loved...

For me, no greater man ever born expresses the most powerful and awesome love than what Jesus did for us... the way of the cross... hhmmm i can see some of you raising your eyebrows and saying, yeah right! i heard that so many times before... in the pulpits, in tv, in movies, in people walking around carrying Bibles blah blah blah...

But I tell you what, no amount of cold shrugs, poker faces or even blatant disapproval can stop me from sharing the Love of Jesus. Just to clear things up, I still sin... I still hurt people, I still do some bad things but that is not the point here... My point is that no matter how much I mess my life with my decisions or actions, there is still that one person who loves me soooo much, a love i feel that goes beyond the physical boundaries. You see, I really wanted to share to you this LOVE, for surely it is for you to take and experience... all you have to do is give Him a chance to enter your life... all you have to do is accept His offer of an unfailing love and a faithfulness that is far greater than you can imagine... He is just a prayer away, it wouldn't cost you a cent, it would just cost you a lifetime... a lifetime that is abundant with love, joy, peace... a sprinkle of suffering will be added... But I tell you, suffering will work in a way that you would just see it as a venue for growth and for greater happiness.... and remember, He is open to us 24/7, never closes, no holidays, no blackouts, no nothings...

Note: on the sinning part, it is essential that you acknowledge your sin and and ask for forgiveness... wholeheartedly....
For violent reactions or brilliant ideas, don't hesitate to comment on this... hehe guaranteed no extra charge.
