ALL DREAMS ARE POSSIBLE

I DREAM OF having a great job. My dream job's a cabin crew (actually, architecture was the original one hehe) but I also wanted to experience some other jobs in the industry until I could manage to start up my own business. I DREAM OF helping my family (FINANCIALLY, which is the current issue that makes us all suffer the headaches and all, lol). I DREAM OF traveling with my family, with friends, with best friend, alone, around the world. I DREAM OF visiting Paris, Rome, North Carolina, Hawaii, Singapore, London, etc. I DREAM OF taking long rides/road trip leading to some other place with nothing to do, well, just enjoy the sceneries. I DREAM OF visiting, and, owning a lighthouse. I always remember a scene from the movie Casper when they were sitting at the top of a lighthouse. The lighthouse itself sends me a deeper message. Well, I love its purpose, and, it reminds me of God guiding me through the dark. Seeing a lighthouse makes me feel nostalgic hehe. I DREAM OF spending weekends in a beach, watch the sunrise and sunset. I DREAM OF buying a car. I DREAM OF taking dance lessons, jazz or hiphop, or anything, as long as I can improve my skills. I DREAM OF buying and reading new books. I DREAM OF having a beach wedding. I love seascapes. I love looking at the sea. I DREAM OF making my family happy by buying them whatever they need. I DREAM OF buying him his dream guitar, plus guitar effects. I DREAM OF buying our church equipments for music and kids. I DREAM OF having twins, one girl and one boy. I DREAM OF teaching them Christian values, English, Filipino, some Spanish that I know, some French that I know, how to count 1 to 10 in Nihongo because that's all I could remember, lol, etc. I DREAM OF building a home near or overlooking a sea but to avoid a tsunami, building a home overlooking a cityscape would do, lol. I love looking at the city at night. 

I have lots of dreams. And I know, all of these are possible. I DREAM OF making all my dreams come true. Nothing is impossible with Him. :)

THIS IS FOR YOU

Last Friday, 01 April 2011, was the Solemn Investiture of UST-CTHM, the college where I belonged. It was a very memorable day for me because aside from us graduating students being the Quadricentennial Batch, I also received an award, one that made the whole family and friends very proud of me and of course, I wouldn't have received it without the help of the Lord. He is the ONLY reason behind this achievement. 

After taking the four-year course filled with fear in meeting new friends and professors, with joy in different moments I've shared with the people, with difficulty in accomplishing lots of schoolworks which I was really serious and addicted to, etc, finally, I made it. I made it with the help of the Lord. I was happy to have achieved such good recognition, but I was mostly happy for my family, especially for my mother who sacrificed all her efforts just to provide for my studies. I could still feel her joy...she even cried when she read the letter from the office saying their congratulations to the parents of graduates with honors. I was really happy for her. If she was happy for what I've achieved, I was much happier because I made her happy. That's one of the things I wanted for my family especially for my mother, for her to be happy all the time. And this achievement became a way to bring joy to her and to our family. That's why I praise and thank the Lord for this great accomplishment. 

My partner's also very happy for me because he was a witness to my hardships in my studies. He even helped me in lots of different ways. Thanks to him. He once told me when I was very tired that I already wanted to stop studying, that I should give my best at school because it was the thing that he failed to do, as he spent and focused most of his time on other things. That's why this achievement was also for him. Even though he didn't finish his college with a reward, he helped me finish with a reward though. I share this achievement with him, too. Thanks be to God for everything. :)

GREAT MINDS WITH GREAT FAITH

26 March 2011. Saturday. 

Finally, the project of my partner and his ex-officemate/business partner was dedicated. The dedication was held at The Legend Villas lead by his ex-officemates pastor. His wife, while introducing the two, even shared to us how some incidents happened as if trying to stop the success of this project. But still, the Lord is their partner in this project and He knows the desires of these two workers. Although both of them got sick and had difficulty in finding time to meetup for their project, still the dedication was successful. 

They presented their project in front of young professionals. The project and its whole concept was highly appreciated by every one of us in the room. Aside from the objectives of the project, its main purpose was the highlight of this activity, which is to glorify the Lord. I also appreciated the part of the discussion where the young professionals even gave their comments and suggestions to better improve the whole site.

I admire these two men with great faith in God and with the desire of their hearts to serve the Lord through this project, I believe that this will be a success. I personally became a witness to their longness in pursuing this project and I saw their faith. They begin and end each meeting with a prayer and in the middle of discussions, share each other's views on spiritual maturity. I felt that the Lord was really with them from the very start of this activity. I, together with the few people who witnessed the presentation of the project, am praying for the fulfillment of all their plans for this project, that it may be a blessing to other people, and that it may serve its main purpose, to glorify our God.
