When Words Get in the Way

THEY say actions speak louder than words. But some says actions are meaningless without words.

And others say actions plus words make feelings more complete, understood and revealed.

You and your loved one used to have many ways to express how you love and care for each other.

Some through explicit actions like hugs, kisses, tap on the shoulder, touch on the hair, or maybe just by placing your hand next to the one you love.

Everything seems so right when "expression of love" comes to the scene.

A smile, a wink of an eye, a simple stare, a stolen glance, a flower, a love letter, a text message, or even a simple quote means a lot to the receiver. What else do we have to expect? Everything's in proper place when people are in-love, and the love feels so deep.

The 3 simple words-I LOVE YOU become very powerful words then, in the universe.

But when two people find difficulty in expressing their feelings, that's where the confusion begins..the rivalry between words and actions unravels; so it's up to the couple to understand the actions being done and read between the lines from the words being thrown.

And this is sometimes so hard to fathom.

They say love should be understood by heart not by mind. But what is felt by the heart is taken graciously to the mind. Because the mind dictates what the heart feels. And it signaled the most important command-- that is to feel what the heart should feel and do what our body should  act on.

So the bottom line is: There is still a link between the two--words and actions.

But what about actions alone. Is it  not enough to express how we feel?

How about words alone. Is it not enough way to make our feelings clear?

I will tell you a story.

My friend  tells me of how she's being moved by her lover's way of endearment. He calls her MINE (in replacement of the name) to simply express his love and sense of ownership to her as girlfriend. And so does she. They don't have a perfect relationship, but they do work things out. They often hug each other, kiss each other, talk to each other but what really binds them more is their way of needing each other.

They don't see each other often, that's why they use text messaging to keep each other connected. What is so sweet with the two is the fact that their way to make one know that he/she is badly needed or being missed is simply through texting his/her name..just the name, no more words added.

He will just text the word "mine"... and then the girl already knows that she's needed... that he wants to connect... that he misses her so much. Even in the middle of their fight, when the girl calls him "mine" his heart melts like ice cream placed under the sun. And there is no more fight.

The word here represented by the name apparently becomes a sword, a weapon that can hit anyone with its edge. It becomes very sharp. It becomes very powerful that it hits the heart.

THE name is not just a typical word then. It becomes an expression of love, an extension of love and a connection to what their hearts really feel. It becomes a password to his/ her heart and allows love to come out and be realized. A word is no longer a word with a vocabulary meaning, but a word that defies all. A word which leads us to understand our passion and weakness. A word that connects us to what we feel inside within.Words alone can move us instantly to feel what we want to feel, thus making us free to express that feeling through the best actions we can ever declare.

Here is a proof that WORDS alone can get in the way to feel that fire which we call LOVE.

God Gave Me You - Bryan White (with lyrics)

GOD GAVE ME YOU

For all the times I felt cheated, I complained
You know how I love to complain
For all the wrongs I repeated, though I was to blame
I still cursed that rain
I didn't have a prayer, didn't have a clue
Then out of the blue

God gave me you to show me what's real
There's more to life than just how I feel
And all that I'm worth is right before my eyes
And all that I live for though I didn't know why
Now I do, 'cause God gave me you

For all the times I wore my self pity like a favorite shirt
All wrapped up in that hurt
For every glass I saw, I saw half empty
Now it overflows like a river through my soul
From every doubt I had, I'm finally free
I truly believe

God gave me you to show me what's real
There's more to life than just how I feel
And all that I'm worth is right before my eyes
And all that I live for though I didn't know why
Now I do, 'cause God gave me you

In your arms I'm someone new
With ever tender kiss from you
Oh must confess
I've been blessed

God gave me you to show me what's real
There's more to life than just how I feel
And all that I'm worth is right before my eyes
And all that I live for though I didn't know why (didn't know why)
Now I do (I finally do), 'cause God gave me you (God gave me You)

God gave me you

The Other One

I can't figure out how an "other one" can do something for someone's life. The question is-- what can the other one do so differently to outdo the real one's love? I am so uncertain of how things go right when everything started so wrong. How can it become so good when everything started so unfair. When the desire to make it happen is just as equal to the intention of making every imagination come to life, then the "other one" exists perfectly on the course of time. "Should it be forbidden? or let it be a sin?" is a question left unanswered since the time begun. I attempt not to answer this quest, but my piece of share would somehow attest and give justice to how much of our fate could do the rest. Mine is a story of a tale, nested in fantasy, crafted by imagination, coupled with hope, love and aspiration. Let the reader succumb to this wild-like truth of an untold story... I wanna be your Shakespeare just for now...just let me be. =)

THERE was her... empty. Wasted. Pierced. Like a puzzle broken into pieces. She came from a very long journey not withstanding all the heavy loads she used to carry.

She has nothing but hope. She wants nothing but freedom. Like a slave chained to her destiny.

All she need is love. But love is pure fantasy. Nothing's real.

And there was "he"... (to be continued)

PILIPINAS GOT TALENT (PGT) JEFFERSON AND KURT BRINGAS

I was again inspired by this story.

Bringas brothers Jefferson and Kurt auditioned for Pilipinas Got Talent (PGT) season 3. As everyone in that competition came with a hope to be part of the semifinals, the brothers came with a good story of faith, hope and love.

Their story is truly an inspiration to all. It's a proof that God is really good and He brings miracles to those who believe in His Words.

You'll be inspired by how a brother sacrificed his own interest for the love of his sibling.

You'll be inspired with their love for each other as seen in their endeavor to reach their dreams together.

I was inspired again. Good luck to you, both. God bless!

Kurt is a cancer survivor. His left leg was amputated when he was 19 years old due to Cancer of the Bone . Stage 4 cancer. He was given a month to live then. Yet, God has been very merciful. He's now 25 and very much alive. It's indeed a great miracle! Thanks be to God! Jefferson is a brother who once prayed for a woman whom he wanted to share his life with. But when his sibling got sick, he prayed again to God that he's willing to give her up just to keep his brother alive.  He lost her, but God gave him Kurt -the right answer to his prayer.The brothers are now hand in hand in their endeavor to reach their dreams... PGT3 is just the beginning. May they continue to inspire people as they continue to walk on this life's journey. :-)

Back to Me

In my younger days, I've always wanted to write a song and inspire others.

Today, I want to live that time again.

Let me share this beautiful Filipino song which I made that has taken inspiration from this Bible passage:

Luke 7:3  

“Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy to have you come under my roof. Therefore I did not presume to come to you. But say the word, and let my servant be healed."

 SABIHIN  MO LAMANG

(Just Say the Word) 

words/ music by Lady Barbyq

Ako'y litong-lito

Isip ko'y gulong-gulo

Para bang ako'y batang musmos

Naghahanap ng kasagutan sa mga ilang tanong

Bakit nga ba ganito, 

Bakit nga ba ganoon 

Isip ko'y napapagod  na

Kailan kaya magwawakas

Kailan kaya titigil na sa pagdurusa...

KORO:

Sabihin mo lamang Panginoon

At ako ay gagaling

Di ako karapat-dapat na 'yo pang arugain

Pagkat isang salita mo lamang ang sagot sa 'king daing

Sapat na sa 'kin, marinig lang ang 'yong tinig.

Ang buhay mong bigay

Ngayo'y nais kong ialay

Laan sa 'yo mga pasakit ko

'Pagkat sa 'Yo Panginoon ko

Ang kagalinga'y matatamo

Hesus, Patawad po 

Sa lahat ng pagkukulang ko

Ako ngayo'y nahihiya

Sa kasalanang nagawa

Paano pa nga ba hihingi ng pagpapala...

(koro 2x)

...sapat na sa 'kin (3x)

Marinig lang ang 'yong tinig.

I just hope I could let you hear the sound of this beautiful song,. In God's time, i'm able to inspire you, too. For now, let's savor the lyrics and thank Him for the gift of healing with our faith.God bless us!!!

It's All Worth It!

Every single day, I arrive almost 9 in the evening. With head in severe pain, feel like vomiting, a little bit dizzy, and all I wanted is to take a nap and have some peaceful moment with myself, nothing more nothing less.

But I still need to attend to my son's needs: checking his assignments, asking him of what's new for the day, facilitate his review for tomorrow's test, making sure he has already taken his vitamins,  etc., etc...

And before I could forget, I still have other chores to attend to like --checking the dogs, checking the bathroom, checking the gas stove, checking the used clothes, checking, checking, checking...

And all of these I have to do with my worst condition...whew! very funny!

But it's not at all bad. Actually, It's all worth it.

Yes, I mean, It's worth all the pain, the struggle, the anxiety, everything! :-)

And for you to understand me, I guess I need to get back from how it started.

And this is how it all began...once upon MY time.

EIGHT months ago, I was a simple happy-go-lucky-not-so-active individual. Get it? Okay, to make it clear, I am not an endangered specie and I play the role of the common others. Simple life with simple joys. I worry just myself, my family and those who surround me. Perhaps, the worst thing that I would be concerned about is the health of my family whenever one of them gets ill-stricken. That could make me melt like ice cream placed under the sun. But as they say, life is running on circles. Our destinies are meant to evolve each day, each moment. We never can tell how God's plan for us can change our lives in an instant. Well, they used to say, God has better purpose. So what we need to do is just follow His will. And His will for me resembles that of a typical Cinderella story. Tadaann!!! (shimmering splendid scene with audio background) No, it's not like that. I mean, it's a typical story of transformation. From being nobody to Somebody...from being a caterpillar to a beautiful butterfly... from being a self-centered individual to becoming a dynamic social animal... from Peter Parker to Spiderman...from ego to alter ego...and many, many more.

But it's true, fairytale and hero tale stories used to happen in real life. And my life is a good example, anyway. I am no superhero, but I have experienced all what it takes in that fantasy tale.

Let's check by these questions:

>Are there villains? Yes!

>Conflict or struggles? Yes!

>Change in status? Yes!

>Spectacle? Yes!

>Best Performance Award? Yes!

>Celebration? Yes!
>Prince Charming? Not necessary :-)

Now I'm a new person, crowned with position, bestowed with power and dressed in might. Never did I expect this beautiful metamorphosis to happen sooner in my life.

The thing is, how my life changed isn't the real BIG thing.
It's how I coped up with all these changes is what makes this post worth reading.

And this happens for a very good cause.

8 months ago, I love just myself.
Now, I'm here doing things for the good of the group where I do now belong. And things weren't that smooth on the onset. There were stories of misunderstandings, hate and conflict. There were confusions, aggressions, and misinterpretations. But thanks to God that He gave much strength and courage to survive everything and go on with life.

God gave me reasons to cheer-up, even when the tough gets going and the going gets tough.
He gave me friends to comfort me and make me feel loved.
He showered me with inspiration through the countless signs of times.
And God made me feel how good to feel blessed as what I feel right now.

People may judge me for what they see. But what is really important is how I see myself that could make me judge people.

I may be restless for a day, but I don't let hope slip out of my sanity.
I may be exhausted, but I don't let happiness not touch me for a day.
I maybe empty for once, but I don't allow anyone take away my faith in God and hope for a good life .

I always count my blessings, and it gives me much inspiration to thank my life and ask for more.
After all, it's all worth it. My life is worth living for- for myself, for everyone. And it's something that I want to continue even if it causes me the same difficulties in life.

Every single day i wake up. Same routine. Same work. Same plan.

But I will not forget that God has a plan for me to make things better each day.
And that will make everything okay for every single day.
It may not be perfect always, but at the end of the day I will say
It's all worth it.

What is Life?

"Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
Life is beauty, admire it.
Life is a dream, realize it.
Life is a challenge, meet it.
Life is a duty, complete it.
Life is a game, play it.
Life is a promise, fulfill it.
Life is sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a struggle, accept it.
Life is a tragedy, confront it.
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Life is luck, make it.
Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
Life is life, fight for it."
— Mother Teresa

achilles of peace

Sometimes...

the place is cool

the road is clear

angels do tread

where devils breathe fear.

But blasphemy is power

and honesty is deceit

the joy of today

is tomorrow's grief.

Should anyone care

about the culprit?

or let no one dare

to think about it.

To live a pursued life

grown in a battlefield

is the sweetness of terror

in the triumph of defeat.

In this place where

everything is vulnerable

with few rules to take

and few guts to ponder,

the sword of wisdom

shall always declare:

"Rule the world, Troy
and make it real...

or do the impossible

and strike one's heel."

Thoughts to Ponder

Paano Ba Maging Bida?

Kelangan ba na lagi kang may kalaban, yung aapi sa yo, sasampal o kaya’y magsasabing “Kailanma’y di ka magiging masaya, ipinapangako ko yan, Mara!”?

Kelangan ba na lagi kang mukhang mahirap, gusgusin, mahina, o kaya nama’y kaawa-awa para maging effective?

Kelangan ba na sa tuwing magpapalit ang kapalaran mo (from rags to riches) ay laging may amnesia effect, bigla kang mawawala sa eksena o kaya nama’y namatay at biglang..…tadaan!!!..buhay ka na ulet at naghihiganti sa muli mong pagbabalik?

Kelangan ba na lagi kang pa-sweet effect, wholesome, upright, at may mukhang di-makabasag –pinggan para masabing fit sa iyo ang character?

Kelangan ba na laging ang make-up mo ay light, simple at fresh-looking samatalang sa kalaban mo naman ay exaggerated, over do at glamorous na minsa’y maypagka-devilish?

Kelangan ba na sa umpisa ay ituturing kang walang-alam o stupid, less-educated o kaya naman ay deprived sa matinong edukasyon at kapagdaka’y magiging chair ka na ng isang firm o kaya’y may-ari na ng isang sikat na produkto?

Kelangan ba na lagi kang nakangiti sa gitna ng lahat ng pighati, lungkot at pagsubok na iyong pinagdadaanan, at ang pagluha ay dapat senyales lamang ng pag-asa at hindi kahinaan?

Kelangan ba na hindi ka muna lalaban kapag pino-provoke ka na ng kalaban, maging mahinahon kahit niyuyurakan, maging defensive pero hindi offensive, para talagang ang sympathy ng lahat ay nasa yo sa textvotes man o sa kuwentuhan?

Kelangan ba na laging may ibang character na susulpot sa eksena, isang di mo kilala o kaya nama’y kamag-anak na nagbalik-bayan, may-alam ng sikretong nakabaon na sa limot, o isang angel kaya na magbibigay-twist sa napaka-predictable mong life?

Kelangan ba na ang susi lagi sa tagumpay mo ay ang katotohanan, nasa diary man yan o kaya’y isang bagay na isinisiwalat mo ng buong –tapang kahit kapalit nito ay pagkadelikado ng iyong buhay?

Kelangan ba na lagi kang may love-interest sa kuwento, prince o princess kaya, o pag sinuwerte pa ay dalawa para
ka-love triangle mo, para tipong mamimili ka na lang eh andami mo pang pagdadaanang gulo?

Kelangan ba talaga na laging memorize mo linya mo para sa oras na kelangan nang sabihin eh perfect ang tirada mo at standing-ovation naman ang nakikinig dito?

Kelangan ba talaga na mas marami kang eksena kesa sa iba para maka-agaw ka ng mas maraming pansin sa manonood?

Kelangan ba talaga na ganito lagi ang role ng bida para mas madaling sumikat?

Haaaay… ang hirap talaga sa totoong buhay, paano na lang kaya kung sa pelikula pa? Hehehe..

Mysterious Love

“Love The Way You Lie (Part 2)”

On the first page of our story, the future seems so bright.
And this thing turned out so evil, I don’t know why I’m still surprised.
Even angels have their wicked schemes and you take death to new extremes.
But you’ll always be my hero, even though you lost your mind.

Just gonna stand there and watch me burn,  
But that’s alright because I like the way it hurts.
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry,
But that’s alright because I love the way you lie, I love the way you lie.
I love the way you lie.

Now this gravel in our voices, glass is shattered from the fight.
In this tug of war, you’ll always win, even when I’m right.
Cause you feed me fables from your hand,
With violet words and empty threats and it’s sick that all these battles are what keeps me satisfied.

Just gonna stand there and watch me burn,
But that’s alright because I like the way it hurts.
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry,
But that’s alright because I love the way you lie, I love the way you lie.
Ohhh, I love the way you lie.

So maybe I’m a masochist
I try to run but I don’t wanna ever leave.
Til the walls are goin’ up in smoke with all our memories.

[Eminem]
This morning, you wake, a sunray hits your face
smeared makeup as we lay in the wake of destruction
hush baby, speak softly, tell me I’ll be sorry that you
pushed me into the coffee table last night so I can push you off me
try and touch me so I can scream at you not to touch me
run out the room and I’ll follow you like a lost puppy
baby, without you, I’m nothing, I’m so lost, hug me
then tell me how ugly I am, but that you’ll always love me
then after that, shove me, in the aftermath of the
destructive path that we’re on, two psychopaths but we
know that no matter how many knives we put in each other’s backs
that we’ll have each other’s backs, ’cause we’re that lucky
together, we move mountains, let’s not make mountains out of molehills,
you hit me twice, yeah, but who’s countin’
I may have hit you three times, I’m startin’ to lose count
but together, we’ll live forever, we found the youth fountain
our love is crazy, we’re nuts, but I refused counselin’
this house is too huge, if you move out I’ll burn all two thousand
square feet of it to the ground, ain’t shit you can do about it
with you I’m in my f–kin’ mind, without you, I’m out it

Just gonna stand there and watch me burn,
But that’s alright because I like the way it hurts.
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry,
But that’s alright because I love the way you lie, I love the way you lie.
Ohhh, I love the way you lie.
I love the way you lie.

When Bloggers Get on The Way

Songs aren't enough.

Laughter's not that much.

People fade slowly.
Yet, Bloggers are  here to stay.

Poems aren't that convincing.

Jokes aren't that relieving.

Moments gone with the wind.

But Bloggers are here to stay.

Soulmates await perfect destiny.

Romeo and Juliet creating fantasy.

Nothing's real, what can be true still.
Unconditionally, Bloggers are here to stay.

Life is running on circles.

The enemies of today

Are tomorrow's defenders.

Still, Bloggers are here to stay.

When Bloggers get on the way

All is left with HOPE.

And the mystery of uncertainty

becomes a NEW WORLD to bring forth...

Simply because Bloggers are here to stay.

 I'm glad... I'm a blogger!

Mysterious

Your eyes shadows death

but your smile lingers

deep down to my insatiable soul

'til it leaves me weak.

The fist of your look kills

and I cant just deal

the fire of concupiscence

it strongly feels.

When and how this saga ends

is a matter of mystery,

pushing back my psyche

to unwanted immortality.

Stop now or leave me undead!

Bring me not the curse

of your tricky spell.

I detest your magic, Sorcerer!

Like a secret in the grave

Be forever unknown

Let no LOVE come along

from a mysterious man you've shown.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Cheers!  Life is good!

Looking Forward 2011

Are you all set to welcome the YEAR of the METAL RABBIT?

For sure, there'll be more time to list down all your new year's resolutions. But for now if you really want to get it simply started, let us begin with understanding our character the chinese way. I would take my own horoscope as an example. Here is my profile as Water OX (born: March 23, 1973) which is taken from tuvy.com. I believe this would somehow guide me to what's in store for next year  like what I did last year, I brought forth action together with prayer as powerful tools to make all things work. Finally, I had a fruitful and surpassing 2010. There is no secret formula!

My WATER OX Horoscope

Feb 6, 1913 to Jan 25, 1914
Feb 3, 1973 to Jan 22, 1974

Oxen in China are put on a pedestal. So it goes with Oxen people. Oxen are bright, peace-loving, often easy-going and trusting. But, on the other hand, they can also be stubborn, methodical, and fiercely competitive, with, shudder, fierce tempers to boot. Oxen are natural born mentors and life is filled with examples of people who have gone on to great success because of them. Mentally and physically alert to the point of genius, many Oxen belong to Mensa. They can create the most imposing structures, magnificent sculpture, and homes. They respond like poets to the beauties of nature and of solitude. Oxen are unique, they are The Flower that bursts through the crack of cement.

Bird's Nest Soup and Bean Curd are among the keys to good health!!

With Water Oxen you never have to sit around listening to boring lecturing and long-winded yada-yada. Through quiet self-assurance, they simply carry on with life, setting examples by deed, never by words. They make extraordinary leaders. They inspire others to do their best, through kind patience, knowing that even waiters finally come to those who wait. Realistic and open-minded about the foibles of others, they are rewarded with unexpected surprises when people turn around and show their best attributes. Tit for tat!. Their stable careers and "living right" give them the potential to be enormously wealthy, and they frequently are. For Oxen in general, love life is somewhat of a mystery, but immensely satisfying, interwoven very nicely with contrasts of quietude and passion, solitude and togetherness.

 

Famous Ox People: Tung Chee-Hwa, Sukarno, Richard Burton, Napoleon, Charlie Chaplin, Peter Sellers, Margaret Mead, Jawaharlal Nehru, Eisaku Sato, Princess Diana

and lastly, I firmly believe, ME.

Magic of The Little Prince

"Come back after you read this book," my Professor in Advanced Philo told me.  "You will take an exam after." he added.

I was very skeptical of what this book has to do with  me. Except for being the major requirement in one of my minor subjects in the graduate school, I really couldn't understand why I have to read this 27-chaptered novellete. With all the rush tasks, work overload and time constraints, this is really not a perfect time to savor a good literature. Yet, there is another problem, there's just one copy in the library and it's not allowed to be taken home.One more thing-- the book looks very OLD and I'm sure there'll be a scarcity of copy on the nearest bookstores... what shall I do then?

I have no choice but to find ways to unlock this difficulty. I ended up searching this book on the net. The first encounter began with the book's author- Antoine de Saint-Exupery... who is he?

A pilot, a journalist, a writer. Not to mention, a military man. The author's profile is quite interesting! That made me go on browsing for additional information. The novel was created sometime in 1943 one year before his death. The Little Prince is the most well-known of his novels. It appears to be a simple children's tale, with simple illustrations, but you'll see more than that when you read it. According to one interpretation, it is a deeply moving book written in riddles laced with philosophy and poetic metaphors. 

"So, what could I get from this book except for a possible A grade for my subject requirement?,"  I asked myself. There's no other way but to find out.

At first I thought I would take the sacrifice reading it through the net. Thanks God, I got an old book from a generous student Thus, I read it... chapter by chapter, page by page, word for word. Until I found myself reading  the literature over and over again...

I couldn't stop! It's irrisistible. It's amazing!

No wonder why it became the famous novel at that time.
It's keeping your soul connected with what you read... with what you've realized! 
It's no child's story. It's a children's book intended for thinking adults!

You would appreciate the philosophy behind each line.
The logic behind each metaphor. 
The reality behind each magic.
And that truly is- the MAGIC of THE LITTLE PRINCE! 

Here are some famous lines taken from the book.

"What makes the desert beautiful," says the little prince, "is that somewhere it hides a well."
  -Chapter XXIV

"You're beautiful, but you're empty.... No one could die for you".
  -Chapter XXI

"One sees clearly only with the heart. Anything essential is invisible to the eyes."
  -Chapter XXI

“Why are you drinking?” demanded the little prince.
“So that I may forget,” replied the tippler.
“Forget what?” inquired the little prince, who already felt sorry for him.
“Forget that I am ashamed,” the tippler confessed, hanging his head.
“Ashamed of what?” insisted the little prince, who wanted to help him.
“Ashamed of drinking!”

"That is the hardest thing of all. It is much harder to judge yourself than to judge others.
If you succeed in judging yourself, it's because you're truly a wise man."


"If I were to command a general to turn into a seagull, and if the general did not obey, that would not be the general's fault. It would be mine."


"Language is the source of misunderstandings."



 --At the end of this reading task I said to myself, "I'm so glad to have it." My Professor just knows how to teach me what real philosophy is. Thanks to him, I met the LITTLE PRINCE! This is more than the A mark that I am expecting to get. Learning the essence of life is a great achievement. Isn't it?

 

By the way, I got a real A from my Prof. He gave me 1.1 which means 99% average grade for this subject!Thanks, Little Prince! Thanks, Sir Egay!

Hello Blogger, my old friend...

I've come to talk with you again...

I'd been away for so long, took part in this beautiful creation...

but now I'm here again, let's share the joy of that experience!

How can I forget the 11th Foundation Anniversary of GC? 
I left you behind like a little friend deserted in a strange island. 
That's so hurting to me as far as I believe 
but it took a while to make me realize 
how important you are as a friend.

A part of me was left with you as I went on my journey,
but I knew that my absence has done enough for both of us to see.
I bring you now the worthwhile experience
no person could ever resist,
I hope you'll be more happy to hear all the good lessons I've learned.

•  I couldn't find a word to tell how happy and grateful I am for those who shared in the creation of COE exhibit booth! But before its final output there were several stories untold. I can still recall the first two days of its significant series when supporters came in selfless abundance, whether through physical or monetary help they did not hesitate to partake.There were those whom I consider great few who showed me what it means to be unweary despite of the difficult task, disturbing sweat and the heat of the sun. Physical labor is not fun, for sure, but  I knew it was, because the smiles were fixed on the faces of each and everyone around.

• The third day was even more exciting! or should I say, breath-taking?!!! Yes, I couldn't even grasp my breath for a while to sit and relax. I was so anxious of many "hows"... How should I do this... How should I do that... lingered on my mind repetitively. I didn't know what to do then, but I have a conviction that it will all be okay soon. Yeah, It has to! And it happened. The four divisions were created and each section was apparently filled with its desired exhibits. Maybe, not that much, but good enough to have it showcased on the next day.Thanks to God! And many thanks to all who patiently understood my varied moods for all day long!

•  OPENING DAY: The day we've all been waiting for! Will somebody do me a favor? This has been my favorite line. In and outside of the classroom I hurried like a mad hunter going after its prey. I didn't know what I was really needing, but it gave me satisfaction to see that everything's in the right place, anyway, in just few hours the judging will start. Did I really accomplish my task? Hmmn... soon I'll find out!

• At 1pm all got dressed in full costume. Everyone has been in a hurry but excited to experience the fun! The theme: Greek Mythology inspired with a little foretaste of  World Literature! Of course, I was the master-planner, who else will oppose...(laughs) but I made it very relevant to the Official Contest Agenda, that's why it was beautiful! 

•  The time moved so fast, but it was too slow for us who waited until 5 O'clock. Four hours with this costume set-up is NOT cool. Not if you've waited much longer than expected. Everyone thought it's going to be earlier. But it wasn't. Then I started being anxious, disoriented, stressed...And at the end I found myself sitting hopelessly in one side without saying a word. "This is not happening!" I thought.

•  Then after few seconds, there came the lamplighter, the bearer of good news! I couldn't describe how much joy I felt when I heard them saying, "Andiyan na Sila!" (They are coming!) ...and everyone shouted in excitement; like ants they hurried to their different posts as we watched the judges getting near. At last, the long wait is over!

• After the judgment time, you can see the smile in everyone's face. Lots of stories were told from anyone's experience. The experience of being part of the event. The goodness of having their share of time, talent and effort. It has paid off all the hardships, the time they invested and the hope they kept. It was a good learning experience. And I learned from it, too. Maybe now I understand how it is to be a little more patient. A little more composed. A little more trustful that I may enjoy the fruit of my labor in the sweetest experience possible. No regrets!

• With that, we're victorious! And the rest is history.
