AGONIZING THE PAIN OF FRUSTRATIONS


Once again,I failed to update my blog and was in the hiatus for a while.The previous days was filled with rushing errands that forced me to catch the time on its specific target.Amid the painful bite of the summer,I never get tired of rushing here and there grabbing every opportunities that offers a good financial stability.
I have no other tenacious desire but to work abroad that provides me a better future....monetarily.
Yet,luck isn't kind to me this time as if opportunity aloof and keeping in distance.As much as possible,I never passed any moment but search all the possible teaching jobs abroad and some were responding back and some aren't and some just kept ignoring me.
I was very down and frustrated just this previous weeks...thinking about the rejections I got from abroad.....well,I always praying that somehow I would be accepted and share the talents and education that I've learned from school.

LENTEN-SUMMER ESCAPADE

Excruciating hot summer started to bite its painful heat that exhaustingly drained you.
The usual customary of Filipinos if Lenten Summer Holiday would arrive..everyone promptly rushed to go home to their respective provinces and hit the beaches, swimming pool, rivers or anything that would chill out and refresh you from the painful heat.
I used to go home to Olongapo and spend a much-needed vacation with my akin being at home with your loved ones is the most joyous vacation that couldn't hold out with.
Of course, when we say Subic-Olongapo, beaches and nightlife are really hard to resist since it's the most tempting recreational place to offer. This is the only Lenten season that I failed to go home...my heart is aching as I savoring the possible enjoyment that I would have had...
Soaking in the Beach is the first thing that flashback in my mind since I am a beach bummer...and in the evening chilling out at the most attractive and fine band bars are among that tickle my feet and ears that continually banging every now and then.
SBMA or Suic Bay is among the places in Olongapo that I love to stroll upon especially 5 in the evening till the wee hours...I can't help to be a nocturnal species of man if I am at home..this is the only moment that I could relax and grab the zen and peaceful serene of contemplation.
Anyway, we have the longest summer holiday in the world so it's not only the Lenten season but throughout the month of April till May.
But I can't wait to lavish my salivate of tasting the cold halo-halo in town.

HEAL WORRY-WITH (A) SONGS

When you're tempted to worry,what song could you think of or sing to relieve the stress?
Many worries about their life,future,money,food and education,clothing,career,love,etc.Viewing life through the eyes of a different angles,is like a pendulum that swings freely from a fixed point.Sometimes life sway up high-feeling that you're on top of the world.At times youre down as if the world fell down upon you which vision of hopes blurring with dim of waterloo.
Actually,I'm one of those million who are worrying right now.I guess its nature for homo sapiens to fret since we are living in a misdemeanour damaged world.Amidst the draining worries,I tickle myself through songs of inspiration and ethereal.
By way of listening to my most-liked scriptural songs,it regenerated the sentiments of the heart that divert into a musicality of adulation.
Worry weigh down and diluted the strong desire to do something.Candidly, I lose weights and went into a sleepless nights frequently.Thus far,songs of eulogy for the Lord heals worry promptly.
Right now, I unloaded myself with onus that might decaying my senses of the typical me.
Here are the religious songs that brought elation to me:
1.What A Friend We Have in Jesus - Joseph M. Scriven
2.I'll Be Here - Steven Curtis
3.My Life Is In Your Hands - Faith First
4.The Prayer - Josh Groban
5.Going Back To Jesus - Heritage Singers
6.Healing - Denise Williams

Try to heal worry with a songs of credo spiritually,it inevetably carry the remedy of restoration that by fair means you will be delighted long-winded.
If you are worrying,avoid listening to secular music because it won't releive the worrisome in you instead it plunge your emotions to torment of gnaw.

GOD USES ORDINARY PEOPLE-DOING EXTRAORDINARY THINGS



Most men pray for power,the strength to do things.Most men pray for money, the happiness to buy anything,but few people pray for education, the ability to learn something.
My earliest encounter with the world of learning comes from my parents.In a home that I am living in,apparent (of)poverty is clearly evident that getting a college diploma is hopelessly impossible.
I never dreamed of studying at all which apathy and frustrations poisoned my interest,but instead I inspired myself with courage to seek job locally and internationally.Unluckily,adversity came to me for a year which I can't get a job.Being jobless for 1 year was wretchedly deficient for me.
Thanks to my missionary friends who devotedly prayed and showing exalted influenced that purposely driven me to study again.
The Lord had seen my strong desire to obtain a college degree,so as He secretly performed miracles in my life that I could imagine.He uses ordinary people with extraordinary talents who surety allowed themselves to be of used by God for my academic needs.
Compendium of thoughts coming from my benefactors are (the) words that well lived,written to my heart that will serves as guideposts and road maps in my travels through highways and byways.
I want to mention virtually the following persons who endlessly indefatigable supported me..my benefactors:
1. Mr. & Mrs.Paul Lackey- They were American Frontier Missionaries who opened the windows of opportunity for me to study in a University.Their helped was truly a great opener for me.Hope I can still be in contact with them.
2. Ma'am Maria Lee - (A well-educated and a woman of substance)...thank you so much for the big amount that you have had contributed,that made me once in a while the richest student in school.Your respond to my plead was a perfect timing while I was in the midst of the quicksand of distressed monetarily.
3.Pastor Robert Wong - I knew you were in the valley of decision's as to whether you'd help me or not but the Lord had sent His answered through your prayers.You were like a father to me which your dedication to serve God brings a vibrant cadence in your heart.
4.Elder Robert Quillin - Your presence and words of advise was measured in lyrical phrases that brought assurance and inspiration.
These amazing people didn't worry about the financial they had shared and who gets the credits but stirred my emotions to embellish in writing them here.It's practically rare to find persons like them, that is why my words of gratitude embedded with maxims of praises.
I thank the good Lord for sending these extraordinary people without them I won't be where I am today.

DO GOOD ANYWAY



DO GOOD ANYWAY
People are unreasonable, illogical and self-centered
Love then anyway.

If you do good,people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives
Do good anyway.

If you are successful you will win false friends and true enemies
Succeed anyway.

The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow
Do good anyway.

Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable
Be honest and frank anyway.

The biggest people with the biggest ideas can be shut down by the smallest people with the smallest minds
Think big anyway.

People favour underdogs but follow only top dogs
Fight for some underdogs anyway.

What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight
Build anyway.

People really need help but may attack you if you help them
Help people anyway.

Give the world the best you've got and you'll get kicked in the teeth
Give the world you've got anyway.
(author unknown)


I was touched and moved by this sayings or poem or whatever you may call this...I had read this kind of writing into a different version but this one really caught me unmoved.
Doing good to the world is the best thing that you did to yourself...but when people saw your good deeds they seemed to raise their eyebrows and criticized you instead of complimenting you.
Living in a imperfect world is also living with the imperfect creatures....yes,we aren't perfect but the little effort and good deeds that we contributed seems to be unnoticed and nor appreciated by others!!!!
Are their numb and heartless people in this world? By nature human are created by God with soft-hearted and kind..but when sin covers the world everything changed instantly.
By doing good,is there any measure or gauge just to tell the whole being that I am good? Well, the saying above is a self-explanatory....just ask yourself,ponder, internalized, contemplate.
Can we simply follow and do good to others without expecting anything in return?

HEALING WONDERS OF TOUCH



If you are a person who always bombarded by stressful activities or a person who works against a constant pace of errand..then you need to stress out your stressful life by the healing wonders of touch.
At first,I considered massage as a form of "hilot", that if you have dislocated your muscles unintentionally, we rushed directly to call the "manghihilot".But massage in the cosmopolitan world is totally different.
Leaving in a fast pace suburbs is prone to any stress...I had my first massage experienced at Harrison Plaza with a blind masseur...it cost me a cheaper prize which I choose the 1 hour seat massage.
The touch therapy healed my stress temporarily...
Massage therapy has become an important part of general health care for many people living in today's stressful world.
Touch is a very important part of human contact. It helps us feel connected and loved by those around us.
Massage uses touch through rubbing or kneading of parts of the body to aid circulation, relax the muscles, or provide sensual stimulation.
Massage is one of the oldest, simplest forms of therapy.
The basic goal of massage therapy is to help the body heal itself and to increase health and well-being.

There are many health benefits to receiving massage therapy on a regular basis:
Relieves stress
Encourages relaxation
Improves circulation
Improves posture
Lowers blood pressure
Helps manage pain
Relaxes muscles
Improves flexibility
Improves breathing
Relieves tension headaches
Strengthens immune system
Decreases depression


A good massage is an exhilarating experience.Problems are among the forces that induced by such a stress pysically,mentally, etc. The Healing of touc truly eased the muscle pains and lessen the pressure of the bone marrow even to the dividing soul.
Every gentle push of a pressing hands,connect to the senses by which traction on the skin is perceived.My body is usually employ and habituated with a Shiatsu type of massage done by trained blind masseurs.
I frequently heard from friends that Thai massage is better.Just to experience what it was about,my feet leads me to Tagaytay to a famous Thai massage parlor in Tagaytay.
My conclusions had dictated me to utter the difference between the two,Thai massage is honestly better than Shiatsu.My boss rewarded me a gift certificate,that I should seek rest that induces muscular relaxation.Indeed, he handed me a Swedish massage gift certificate at Paseo de Sta.Rosa.
Well,without wasting anytime-I hitch the free time I had as if there'll be no tomorrow.Hitherto, I can still feel the jerking movement of hands that penetrated my bone marrow.With all sincerety,touch therapy brought relaxant which lessening the tension and stress caused by the distorted environment.Massage is a great medicine substitution for drugs.Yet, there's no other touch that could come close in parallel with the touch of a Master's Hand.
Oftentimes,I'm stressed because of my job requires a lot of talking and thinking,talking to the Most High and lays all my stressful burdens unto Him is the best refuge for healing that any massage can't equate.
God has a wonderful promise " Come to me all you who are weary and stressed, and I will give you rest." Matt.11:28
