...commitment...
Commitment...
What first comes into mind??
Syots?? Love life?? Relationships?? Sadly this post is not about it...
musikera ang name ng blog ko for a reason... di naman sa nagfififeeling... but I want to be one... I used to have plans of just playing... as in banda... pero really... do I look like band material?? I'm not pretty enough!!... hehe... nyway... I know its not about that... I guess I'm not good enough din... I don't know if I sing better than I play... Or I play better than I sing... or wala... joke lang ako... ewan... hehehe... I used to be one of the better guitar players sa class... not the best definitely... nor am I the worst... pero habang tumatagal... many got better than me... coz they were more dedicated I guess... anyway... nakakahina ng loob...
pero now I found a better reason to better myself and to continue this thing “music” they call... I love it yeas… and playing in front of people is thrilling –yeah... naranasan ko na siya-... doing something you really like and being cheered for it is a great experience... but I've found a new love... ---SIYAKS!! ANG MUSHY!!---... and that's God... and I thank Him for giving me the responsibility of leading His people in praise and worship...
when we started... vocalist ako... pero... nung din a ko nagging ganun kaactive... xempre they needed a new song leader... and when I got back... I was definitely in no position na patalsikin xa... so yun... napunta ako sa percussion... bongos... shaker... chervas... guess what... galing ni God... ambilis ko na tuloy agad tumugtog... hehehe...
now though... lima na kami... may drummer na! band set-up na!!... so ako... back to guitar... ---grabe... lipat-lipat ako!!--- so pano na ung dating guitarist??... xempre... isang bassist... isang rythmist... keyboardist/lead guitarist yung worship leader naming... and ung vocalist ay kung sino pa rin yung dati... so xempre... tanungan na... kung anong gusto naming... bass or rhythm... sabi ko... bahala siya –yung dating guitarist-- kung ano masgusto niya... sabi niya... ako daw mamili... edi sabi ko... truthfully... I prefer rhythm... sabi niya ok... so akala ko ok na... pero di pa pala... now... gusto na daw niya magrhythm... haii... nasad tuloy ako... ewan... ang gulo pa...!!
haiii... i hope we resolve whatevers sa monday...

New Blog... bakit?
well... basically nalimutan ko na yung password... and... tinatamad na rin akong ituloy yon...so the drama kasi nung mga past blogs ko... and now... i wanna start na... with my new drama...hehehe... and i quote kuya magz --ka-CYF ko-- "that's so high school and i'm college"... wahaha!
update stuffies??
basically... etoh... 2 months akong walang pc... di ko man lang natype yung grad letters ko sa aking mga mahal na dyosa at anything...ayon... enrolled na ko sa U-nibersidad ng Pilipinas sa Diliman... ang kurso ko ay public ad... pero baka magshift pa ko... --gosh totoo na talaga toh!!--I'm entering a new world nanaman... gosh!!! hehe... *siyaks...* and as i enter i praise God for equipping me... grr... I pray talaga na di ako maligaw ng landas!!
so what have i been up to this summer??
after grad... --waaahh grad!!-- ang mga banned people cant get over each other... kea atleast twice a week... we met pa rin... doing wat?? ano pa ba!?! edi DOTA!!gala... sine... dota... yun... on the side na lang ang paglalakad ng stuffies for school... makailang beses rin kaming pabalik-balik ng kisay at ng UP para maayos ang aming future... --ang buhay kolehiyo pa lang-...pero pagdating ng gitna ng abril... onti-onti na rin kaming nagkanya-kanya... nagsimula sa YFC retreat ni airon... at iba pang mga aktibidades ng bawat isa...
ayun... ang akin namang sariling plano... ay nagsimula nun... April 21...
It was a CYF retreat... you know... the typical... --naku... nag-ingles na! seryoso na toh!! wahahaha! asa!--but unlike before... it was for a week? i take that back... 8 days pala! more than a week... when the usual was 3 days lang!what was the added 5 days for...
April 21 - 2 days before the retreat... the MAC peeps (ate vi, ate tia, ate cux and kuya elds) gathered some of the participants...nd dun ko nalaman na... homai! this was no typical retreat at all... we used to just go to resorts... hav our own rooms... and just have one session hall...well guess what... we definitely would have no rooms with the comfort of each other... no session halls... but instead... God provided us with a small village called Candating...and we wouldn't just be taught about the gospel... but instead... we would be sharing it with other... kaiba talaga...imagine going to a place you dont know... with a different language... --kapampangan ung mga tuturuan namin--... and we'd be sleeping in someone else's house for 7 nights...ng hiwa-hiwalay kami ng bahay... totally new!!
April 23 - so early morning ng 23... we traveled na from CRL to Serma... a resort near Candating --1hour away--kasi daw ung mga bahay sa Candating ay ipreprepare pa... when we got there... sinabi samin na we would be teaching along side some kapampangans... --sigh of relief!--may translators!! hehe... they were the youth of a certain church in arayat and some were from the church in candating... there were around 8 of them... --dami noh? hehe--and only 2 were actually from candating... so a bunch of getting to know you games and heart prep... for what we are about to do in Candating... there were 29 of us all in all --yata... hehe--nung gabi... kaming cyf-ers went swimming... and the pampanga peepz.. were not really warming up to us...
April 24 - morning ng 24 we rode the vans again to go to Candating... ang cute nung church... it was a sort of 75% complete... --paint and a couple of stuff na lang kulang--...it was dainty and all... but it was the people there na nakakatuwa... they were very welcoming... may banner pa sa front! hehe... we got there... we placed the bags down... and guess what... may pamirienda sila agad!there were volunteers who cooked stuff for us talaga... and nakakagulat ispin... na ang onti lang daw ng nagsisimba sa church na yun... so after having a bit of rest... we got to our teaching groups... kasi first day ng patuturo namin un...nakakatuwa nga... coz i remember the kids... watching us pagdating pa lang namin...
sa totoo lang... ang hirap i day-2-day kwento... jist...
the Lord gave us a lot of opportunities to share... and opened our hearts and eyes to new possibilities... we got to bond with the pampanga peepz... we got close with our house mates...--nga pala... i lived with tita espie and tita edith... tita nila olive and obet: ang kambal and si ate mae... they were real sweet and welcoming-- nagkaron kami ng free film showing para maginvite ng mga taong bayan... and guess what? and daming nagaccept kay Jesus!! while inviting them tuloy... nakapagikot kami and we got to kno wthe village better...the Lord was faithful and He touched the hearts of even the kids... sila mismo ang lumapit to ask if they could accet Jesus!! even yung ibang CYF-ers nagaccept!...the Lord showed His wonders many times... pinatigil niya ung bagyo para lang makauwi kaming lahat! and by the time we got home sa kanya-kanyang tinutuluyan... true enough... bigla uli umulan!there was one night when we prayed... from around 10-12 ng gabi... just praising the Lord... and those who were shy na magdasal had the courage and strength to shout out!!the Lord poured down His gifts and blessings... not leaving anyone of the campers untouched...
we even had a joshua march... --alam nio ung kwento na the the fall of the wall of jericho?? tignan nio sa joshua 6...-- with the worship team leading the trail of partners...we walked around the whole town... --praise God that He made me part ng worship team! ansaya!! tinuruan akong magbonggos ng mabilis!!-- masakit man sa paa... it was fun... we stopped walking every 7 minutes... we made 7 stops... as we walked we just prayed for the town... and sa bawat stop we'd just praise Him!! --imagine nio... ako... naluhod sa lubak-lubak na kalsada to play bonggos!!-- uhuh!! galing ni God...and medyo magibat yung bonggos... hehehe... na buhat ko while walking... thanks na nga lang sa ibang nagbuhat ng bonggos for a while... on the 4th stop nga pala... i lead the prayer... nagulat nga ako... na i was asked to lead... considering i was one of the youngest... pero ang galing! i didnt have to be kabado sa ipagdasal ko... it just came out!
when it was time to leave na... grabe... daming iyakan! akapan... and mga... "teacher wag nalang keong umalis..." naku... nabawasan nga pics ko eh... they wanted a remembrance kasi... nakakatuwa talaga sila... I hope that they saw how wonderful the Lord is through our onting sharing... ayun exchange ng numbers... and as we rode the van... tahimik muna ng onti... sad kasi talaga na isipin we might not be seeing some of them na uli... --or all--... pero ang galing talaga ni God... cause nung cam na un He did show He's glory...
when i got home... grabe!! narealize ko... ang wonderful na imbesyon pala ng gripo!! kasi naman have i mentioned na di-poso kami dun!! hehe...
pero start pa lang yang retreat na yan... after that... we had a teacher's retreat sa fontana! --asenso!!--... tapos... a sunday school camp sa caliraya laguna for the church kids...and a KFL camp sa same place for the Dagohoy kids ng UP naman...
galing! dami kong natutunan from the kids... and from the people i've met! and sana start pa lang toh ng marami pang stuff na magagawa ko for God!...
