Assorted

I don't know how to start this. My mind today is loaded with so many words I actually don't know what it means like. All I want this time is to unload this and be filled with new things again. I am not sure if I'm going to make sense here now, huh! Anyway to begin unloading this bulky head, let's talk about relationship, at present it has to be the effort of the two of you because it won't work well if it only comes to either of you. It has to be spirit-filled relationship where God is the center and nurtured by proper values. Hahahaha now I got myself, I'm filled with all those sorts of relationship. Am I looking for one now? Uhmmm

In friendship, it has to be true for it takes an ample of time to find good and trusted friend. Friendship must be developed with deep understanding and maturity of minds for it will break easily if one is immature and inconsistent.

In the family, time is valuable. I advise you to spend quality time today!

In the workplace with the workmates, it has to be a total inquiry yet with love and respect. 

At work, it has to be pure business with a heart. Doing your best because you are being paid. Complains will always be around and it's tempting to grumble every second but at the end of it, you will realize that you stick to it! If you want to complain because of something and it you're not happy, find another job!

Disclaimer: I'm not an expert! I am just an observer. Now, I feel relieve so it's time to rest this crazy mind of mine. :-p

First EC

In lieu of my last post here's now the story:

I claimed to be in the Excellence Conference this year, but due to unexpected circumstances I gave up and surrendered my desire to be there. Since I already have the plane tickets courtesy of a very good friend in community and I still felt obligated to pay so on Monday dated October 3, I went to CFCCC for the Team Rev. and to meet and pay my friend. To my surprise he didn't accept my payment and said in vernacular; "Unsaon mana nako ang kwarta?, Dili ra gihapon na nako magamit. I-libre na lang nako nimo imong ticket. Hiposa na lang nang kwarta basta ang importante moadto ka!" -- That was actually WOW! I was shocked and wasn't able to utter some words. Then he asked; "Did you already ask message from the Lord since you will not go?" -- I answered shamefully, no:-( "Okay, asked message first then tell me, I'll be praying for you. " 

If you were on my shoe, how were you going to deal with it? As for me, that was 1 confirmation that the Lord wanted me to go to EC. Then I told my faci about it and she said, settle everything first, lodging, registration and so on. I'll be praying for you too. Another friend of mine but haven't seen her personally was also praying for me at that time. I can say, many were praying for my EC. And to make the long story short, I WENT THERE in faith, a confident me and along with all my messages from the Lord.

In EC...

I learned a lot. I enjoyed so much. I was spirit-filled individual with full of blessings and graces. I actually was crying because my faith was so small and I such a sinner yet the Lord blessed me with everything I can't imagine. I had my first EC with the theme "Days of Grace". It was His grace also when I had the opportunity to serve in FoodCom, first EC and first service in an international event. Wow! I didn't think of serving there because it was my first time yet the Lord called me because He wanted to show me that His grace surround me all the time and all I have to do was to see and respond to it. 

"If you run out of words to pray, go and read the Book of Psalms." - Nelia Cosio. 

I also learned how to deepen my quite time and it's all about my "commitment". Commitment in prayer and constant seeking God's presence. I don't know but I was really blessed. I also had the chance to register myself for the next year's EC "Pray". 

I realized when you surrender yourself to God, everything will run smoothly. You don't have to work hard on it, because the Lord will reveal His ways for you when you least expect it. The feeling is like a wind blowing.

I wish to impart all the things I learned there...really great! :)

A Glimpse Pics of My 1st Ride

Call me ignorant and naive for it was my first time to ride this plane. Hahaha I was really impressed on how they accommodate their passengers, really overwhelming.

This group of blind grandfathers moved my heart with gratitude and compassion as they serenade people who come to the airport mundane for their respective destinations. They play musical instruments and sing different songs continuously to entertain people. Amazing!

I missed the chance to take a picture with this religious stand in Mactan airport where employees and people stopped to say their short prayer before they start their day at work or anything.

The passengers walked this way to enter inside the Ninoy Aquino International Airport. I thought it will be hard to go where I supposed to go this day because I was a newbie but fortunately, it wasn't. All I have to do was to follow them.

  I am not so sure, waiting area??? Hahaha

While waiting for the car who will bring us to the venue of conference.

First day, registration first.

  CFA - Communication Foundation for Asia. I stayed here til Sunday morning. All bricks because the person behind this was a European so he brought here in the Philippines their style. 

The Stage! Everything happened in this place: the opening night, entertainment where the orchestra played several beautiful songs, game show, talks, plenary sessions, mass and praise rally. I must say, it was like watching a show either in ABS-CBN or GMA because of how the people behind the conference did their service. Two thumbs up!

Around 5am. I was super nervous for I have to deal it alone and since I couldn't speak tagalog fluently so I have to go along way then I had a funny and nerve-racking experience. Hahaha

Hello sunshine! I was very happy to see the sun going back home for the whole days of conference it was raining and I wasn't able to see the sun. A view from my seat in the plane.

Those yellow buses were Cebu Pacific's and that persons in mint green and orange were the in-charge of the luggage. 

 Here's what usually have in front of your seat when you ride a plane. Safety guides and measures.

 Home bound, so pale and haggard. Hahaha

I "googled" this photo except the other one up with "Mabuhay."

I'm home! It made me sing like this... Mandaue, Mandaue, I keep coming back to Mandaue, Simply no place like Mandaue, Mandaue I'm coming home. Hahaha I replace the "Manila" from "Mandaue" .... kalurkey!

Here's all I've got. 

Give-aways! Along with this were a trip for 2 in Bohol Beach Club and 15 mobiles phones and many surprise blessings.

P.S: The article for my trip will be followed in the coming days.
