acknowledgment
Finally, a blog created by yours truly!
To everyone who has been baying with me patiently:
To the fig fen peepz who did nothin' but stay in front of Jollibee ad right after our shift. These creepy souls have been my constant companion during tear-jerking days and gloomy nights. They've been my fellas in Makati Republik every Friday night till the dawn of Saturday - to see them chill out with the band, slam the drums, strum the guitar, stretch their vocal cords at the top of their lungs and eventually form their own band, and to crazily dance wit' em till the sun shows its way up. Thank you guys for filling my life!
Great thanks also to Eden Licup, an angel thrown from heaven down here on earth to make me realize that it's still great to be good.
Thanks to June Castelo, another angel from Victory Church who persistently attends one-to-one with me so that I may know who our Father is...
I also wanna thank Pidro Shirt for my outfit, Dr. Jose Rizal Optical for my eyewear, and Dra. Vicky Bentong for my lyposuction! Hindi ako gaganda kung wala kayo! (haha! maniwala tanga!)
This blog is the fruit of indulgent effort in trying to absorb HTML, XHTML, and CSS. This is the very first blog layout created by yours truly. It's quite a scratch, but this is special... cuz this is my first! Keep on rockin' my world, guys!

greatest desire
To have a successful career in computer and information technology...
To learn how to forgive... the person who hurt me...
To find someone who will love me truly...without any condition...or maybe he should find me...or maybe we should find each other...when God finally writes my much-awaited love story...
To know more about Jesus Christ...
To be a good person...
To live a better life...
To have a God-fearing family someday...
To become a blessing to other people...
I long for these prayers to be answered... May the desires of my heart be granted... Amen
(O_o)
Jesus Christ
O Lord, you have searched me and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise. You perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down. You are familiar with all my ways.
Before a word is on my tongue, you know it completely, O Lord. You hem me in behind and before. You have laid your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me...too lofty for me to attain.
Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there. If I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast
If I say, "Surely, the darkness will hide me... and the light become night around me," even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.
How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand. When I awake, I am still with you...
Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
Psalm 139
This was written by the director of music, David. This is my favorite chapter on the Bible, Psalm 139. I have been memorizing it. I love the way he has written this. I was thinking, where was he when he wrote this... I bet all he was thinking was God and everything he did were acknowledged to Him. I want to be like David. I want to build relationship with Jesus Christ the way he was able to establish his relationship with the Father. By the way, there is part in this chapter in which he did express his abhoration to people who spoke of God with evil intent. I did not include it hear, but you may read Psalm 139:19-22 to find out what that was all about. Cheers!
(O_o)
Here is my love letter to Jesus Christ...
Lord, I know I have hurt you many times in my life. I have offended you in innumerable ways. I know you have wept for all the iniquities that filled my hands with blood... and for those actions in which I have hurt you, I realized that I was like crucifying you...again...and again...and again... Yet, you are there for me. You are still there when I cry. I ask for another chance. Change my life. Change my life jus' like how you were able to change June Castelo. Change me that I may be able to please you and that you can see favor in my eyes. Erase all the pains that bind me from knowing you. Break the bondage that precludes me from seeing you face to face. Reveal yourself to me and take away the veil that covers my eyes from knowing you deeper. Just change me... Change me, O Lord... Amen

Hi! I am Tripoddy, the robo-cat. This is my column. I am thankful 'cuz my master Cherie has decided to provide a space for me here in her blog. By the way, I am a miracle cat. I had feline panleukopenia when I was 2 years old. I thought I was goin' to die. I had seizure until I could not walk. Cherie saw the pain I was goin' through so she decided to bring me to a veterinarian in Vergon. Vet, that ugly doctor, said there were 9 out of 10 cats who can survive such disease and it was a guarantee that I would die :-( I witnessed how Cherie's tears flooded her cheeks that she could barely talk. That vet suggested euthanasia. I was so afraid that Cherie thought of the same thing cuz she did not want to see me suffer anymore. One shot of euthanasia costs Php 500. Mr. Uglee Vet said that it would be best for me to die peacefully than bear all the pains brought about by the virus deliriously swimming in my bloodstream. Good thing, she did not have any penny at that time so both of us went home with her parents. Cherie could barely eat and I was, too. The seizure just continued that night until the next morning. Cherie did not sleep that night, maybe 5 minutes of sleep every now and then because in 5 minutes the seizure would attack me. That night she just fed me. The next day she was in RFC to buy cerelac for me. I was worried bout her cuz she did not have any money. Her 2 sisters said I would die and that she was just wasting her time and money to make me live. Good thing again, she did not follow her sisters' advice.
Was Cherie able to understand my body language? I guess she did... She saw that I was doin' my best to crawl despite my seizure. She never stopped feeding me until...after 2 to 3 weeks I was able to be back on my knees and walk! Nga lang, it wasn't like before. That disease left a mark on me. I now walk like a programmed robot. Others say I walk like a soldier because of this robotic movement. Despite of that, I still feel lucky 'cuz I'm still alive. I think both our prayers were heard by God. I remember she wrote a letter to Him asking that a triple-colored cat like me would live. I'll search for that letter then I'll post it here on my blog, I mean column (hehe).
I wanna tell you guys that miracles still exist. Just like my master Cherie who was a miracle baby, I, too, am a miracle cat :-p God bless you!

For no apparent reason, I just want to write. Fungi and bacteria are slowly dwelling in this blog. No sensible thoughts are written. No interesting stories laid down. No revealing thoughts unveiled. Full of nonsense! Well, it's too obvious from the name of the author, EvaNonsense. I must admit that I'm blogging only for myself - to feed my interest, to fill the emptiness, and to efface the boredom! Days are passing by, weeks are flying by, months are speeding past me yet I haven't enrolled to any courses I have in mind! Am I too drowned with the company of my teammates? Been going out wit' them every weekend. Been drinking and been forgetting my real purpose. Haven't gone to Church for more than 3 weeks. Haven't been doin my real job! (sigh). Today, however, was a better day for me. I made it to 4:15 minutes AHT for Email! Yahoo! So the secret is, I better focus on the email I am writing. There should be no room for mediocrity but greater room for excellence! Temptations are just around the corner. They are ready to swallow me alive. They are ready to take my attention away from my Savior. They are decisive to steal me from God's arms :-( I hurt Him again. When I failed Him, all the angels must be crying. He must have expected it cuz He knew I lost track of Him. I haven't prayed, haven't read the Bible, haven't taken the Daily Bread. I know I have sinned. Hands are full of blood again. It was no joke cuz I failed Him. I am weak...without Him.
This day, however, is different. Nice Email AHT! I better get back on track. Why waste time for things that don't really last? Things that will only bruise you and break you apart? Things that will surely paint tears of goodbye in the end. No, that's not the road our Lord has prepared for me. I just miss going to Church. I've almost known Singles in our Church but failed to know them better cuz of Pasti. Pasti taught me something and I don't regret meeting him. May He continue to share the Gospel of Peace... And a message for me, Hey! Wake up! Better get back on track!
If you will play the music above, that is the type of music I love listening to. It's Air by Bach.
Johann Sebastian Bach (pronounced [ˈjoːhan zəˈbastjan ˈbax]) (21 March 1685 O.S. – 28 July 1750 N.S.) was a prolific German composer and organist whose sacred and secular works for choir, orchestra and solo instruments drew together the strands of the Baroque period and brought it to its ultimate maturity. Although he introduced no new forms, he enriched the prevailing German style with a robust contrapuntal technique, a control of harmonic and motivic organisation from the smallest to the largest scales, and the adaptation of rhythms and textures from abroad, particularly Italy and France. He is regarded as one of the great composers of all time. (Wikipedia)
I started listening to classical music at the age 16 and has slowed down till 18! Every morning before goin' to school, I would tune in to 98.7 Master's Touch at 6 AM. There's something about classical music that touches one's soul! It's mysterious and is reviving! It takes you back to younger years when video/PC games were not yet ruling youngbloods' fancy. I listen to any type of music and Classical is one of my favorites! Weird, nho!?
Just a reminder:
Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. (Ephesians 6:11-18)
Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong. (1 Cor. 16:13)
I am now sporting this darker skin tone. Tried this 'Dessert' VMV foundation! It's a bit far from my complexion but I think it's just right for this photo ;-)
"WHATEVER YOU DO, WORK AT IT WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AS WORKING FOR THE LORD, NOT FOR MEN" - Colosians 3:23 -
This is the ultimate reason why I oftentimes do my best in my work! It is also written in the Bible that 'whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might.. for in the grave where you will be going one day, there will be no more working or planning'.
Come away, O human child! To the waters and the wild With a faery hand in hand, For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand. ~William Butler Yeats, "The Stolen Child"
1) After work, gotta get home early and sleeeeeep 2) Go to salon on Saturday at 5 pm 3) Go to Informatics for PC Troubleshooting and go to Church this Sunday!!!!
Ei! Don't forget to tithe! Hmp.
I got into a blog of a Christianster user. Woah! The article he wrote which was entitled "Jesus", ang ganda! Must-read. I was moved. I was touched. Check his blog.
I saw Him carrying a rod. He's my Shepherd. I'm His lamb. He knows when to use that rod to discipline me. He'll never let me get into a pit - far away from his fence... And I realized, Oh Lord, You still see me!
Nong bata pa ko, isa sa mga bagay na gusto ko magkaroon pag tumanda ay isang malaking "Secret Garden". Tama, secret garden, o sa Tagalog ay lihim na hardin... Isang hardin na ako at ako lang ang nakakaalam. Isang lihim na hardin kung saan mananahan ang mga ibon, gaya ng parrot, love birds, at lalo na ang owl. Naisip ko nga dati nung bata pa ko na maraming owl akong aalagaan sa bahay. At ang bahay ko naman ay gawa sa ginto! At sa loob ay may malaking hagdan at maraming estatwa...
Gusto ko ng malaking bahay. Ngunit di ko naisip bakit ako maghahangad ng malaking bahay samantalang di ko naman alam kung para kanino at sino ang titira don. Di ko naisip na hindi pwedeng ako lang mag-isa ang titira don...
Naisip ko rin na doon sa malaking bahay na yon magkakaroon ng isang library na puno ng libro - yung parang library sa Beauty and the Beast... May history books, political science, computer books, self-help and inspirational, at novels. Sa loob ng library na yon ay may grand piano! Tutugtog ako don dipende sa nararamdaman ko...
Parang ang lungkot ... Pero naisip ko lang naman to nung bata pa ko. Musmos pa ko non at di alam kung pano talaga ang mabuhay... Basta ang nakaukit sa isip ko, isang malaking bahay na may library, grand piano, malaking hagdan, malaking rest room at higit sa lahat... isang malaking lihim na hardin....
I dreamt this morning that my hair was being trimmed and colored the way I like it...but the way I don't like it to be done! I've been planning to have my hair dyed since 2 weeks ago but just don't have the time to have it done so...
One day an employee sends a letter to his boss to increase his salary!!!
Dear Bo$$
In thi$ life, we all need $ome thing mo$t de$perately. I think you $hould be under$tanding of the need$ of u$ worker$ who have given $o much $upport including $weat and $ervice to your company.I am $ure you will gue$$ what I mean and re$pond $oon.
Your$ $incerely, Norman$oh
The next day, the employee received this letter of reply :
Dear NOrman,
I kNOw you have been working very hard. NOwadays, NOthing much has changed. You must have NOticed that our company is NOt doing NOticeably well as yet. NOw the newspaper are saying the world`s leading ecoNOmists are NOt sure if the United States may go into aNOther recession. After the NOvember presidential elections things may turn bad. I have NOthing more to add NOw. You kNOw what I mean.
I might be getting another award in our company. Thank Him for that... Okay, I should be happy.
Everything is laughter at work... Nice friends but by the end of the day when I'm all alone.. on my way back home, it just feels... :-( This is the other side of me.
Time to study again. Hope all my dreams will come true. Hope I can take those courses in my mind.
Everytime I feel lonely, this is what I do:
Lord, please take away the sadness I'm feeling. You know how and what I feel. Take it all away. I surrender all.
Then I will feel okay again.
May God shower my life with more Christian friends, that I may be influenced; and that I may influence those who don't know You. Amen.

Lord, thank you for:
1) Giving me nice job 2) My teammates who treat me special and friends who keep my sanity at work 3) Parents who prepare our dining 4) Acne-free skin! 5) All the skills and talents that you have given me. I want to use these talents to your glory
I pray that...
One day..someday, I can become a missionary to spread your gospel...be Christ-like without pretenses.
I got a Christian friend I met through chat who is like a father to me. He's a Pastor, got 3 children and a wonderful wife. I'm grateful to have a friend like him with whom I can share some things I just don't open up to ordinary men. Some sadness, some good news, some weird stuff... I'm just glad there's someone willing to listen :-) He's older than me, like a father... so he knows a lot better.
There are just times when...I feel sad. Christians do feel sad sometimes :-( But I know it's not God's plan for us to feel that way. For my plan is to propser you, not to harm you, saith the Lord.
There's a surprise comin' up! My Boss told me bout it this morning. I told him "Boss, I'm so uninspired." He then said "So ano balak mo a-absent ka?"
che: Wala ako sinasabi ah! Ciempre diba, wala nga ko absences for the month of October, kya ngayon medyo drained na ko... Bawal kse mag-VL! Hmp.
He then showed me... my stats! Oh, woah! He asked me to pull up my records and Surprise! Surprise! Surprise! I will write the result tomorrow when I'm sure about it! We are just waiting for one last day.
Meralco is now out of the option. First, it's too far from home. Just imagine the cost of transpo and the cost of time (sigh). It will surely sap my strength. Monday to Friday work hours are draining enough, what more for Sat-Sun classes?
I inquired in Mapua and they're offering CISCO modules 1 to 4. Classes happen every Saturday which is good. At least I can rest every Sunday. The cost is fair enough, but I couldn't take such course without taking PC Troub first. My other option is Informatics.
I'm still waiting for Mapua's response on my email.

Its better for a girl to sleep 100 years to be kissed and awakend by the right prince than to stay awake and be kissed 100 times by a wrong frog.
Now, I'm actually thinking about going to school. Hmmmm. I would like to take PC Troubleshooting. It's 6,000 in Informatics; while 7,500 in Meralco Foundation. Informatics is just in SM, while Meralco... woah.. it's in QC!
Classes would start on Sunday if I would study in Meralco. I got enough savings here to sustain my studies. It's gonna be 8 AM to 5 PM :-( So wala na nga bang pahingahan ito?
The thing is I would like to learn. I would like to learn through hands-on and I think I wouldn't learn just by reading if I don't have enough knowledge in application.
I'll call Meralco later this afternoon, or maybe tomorrow after work.
