“He [God] will set them off with communications of His presence which, though faint, seem great to them, with emotional sweetness, and easy conquest over temptation. But He never allows this state of affairs to last long. Sooner or later He withdraws, if not in fact, at least from their conscious experience, all those supports and incentives. He leaves the creature to stand up on its own legs; to carry out from the will alone duties which have lost all relish. It is during such periods, much more than during the peak periods, that it is growing into the sort of creature He wants it to be. Hence the prayers offered in the state of dryness are those which please Him best.”

- The Screwtape Letters by C.S Lewis

One of the best books everrrr! :) :) :)

BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE.

Sat, 02 Jun 2012 10:41:22 +0800

Just a bunch of photos I took with only a simple Digital Camera last February of 2011. These are the photos that features the beautiful people living their lives 24/7. Some of these are behind the scenes and stills from the documentary that I made of the same date. Looking back with these photos, I realised that the journey in between what you once were and who you are now becoming, is where the dance of life really takes place.

These are the beautiful people on a busy street.

PLACE: Zamboanga City, Philippines

Hear my great friend again, Twina covered the song, “Getting Over You” by Juris Fernandez. If you have great eyes (or ears), I previously posted her cover of Eraserhead’s, “Huwag Mo Nang Itanong” in which you could also listen here. This is a great song for those people who can’t move on, or still on the process of, you know, trying to move on under some dark and painful circumstances. But don’t feel blue, because this song is for you - to comfort you on where you are with your emotions right now. But whatever it is, enjoy this raw, soothing cover from my friend, Twina.

If you’re in Zamboanga City, you could catch her with her gigs, one is I guess every Saturday @ Pasonance near the Butterfly Garden. (Wow, I’m promoting.)

LYRICS:

I close my eyes and think of you / And I wonder where you are / Oh I tried my best to hide my tears /But they fall everytime I try

‘Cause you contantly invade my dreams / And I sigh everytime I miss you kiss

It’s never ending / All the memories and yesteryears we’ve been through together / Why do I feel afar from getting over you / Done all to get away from all the things that reminds me of you / Constantly you

I guess I failed getting over you

So I’m here in my solitude /And I pray for the day I’d be over you / Guess I’ll have to this through. /’Cause you contantly invade my dreams / And I sigh everytime I miss you kiss

BECAUSE YOLO!

People always think that the most painful thing is losing the one you love in your life. The truth is, the most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too much, forgetting that you are special too.

I have nothing left to lose and I’m living the life the way I wanted it to be. Life must go on.

//STRONGER.

WRITINGS OF ENTANGLEMENT [1]

Wed, 30 May 2012 16:28:00 +0800

So starting from now on, my blog will contain something that I called “Writings Of Entanglement” and they will be numbered 1,2,3… according to what part they are in. This part is just about some random musings, what-happened-today, some valuable fragments of nonsense things, hefty stories, and almost out of the blue kind of post. It’s more of a close-to-the-heart writings from me, more personal, and diary-ic. So here’s the first part.

* * *

Today, I took some time to feel the “battle studies” going in on my head. I woke up and went to the bathroom to clean myself. It was very much weird since in my entire life trying to be hygienic as I could, I spent almost an hour in the bathroom with my 30-hour old white underwear doing nothing. I was just leaning on the wall while trying to calm the uncontrollable warfare in my mind that’s going in and out like series of random flashbacks that I can’t even remember. It was very weird. I guess, I was problematizing too much regarding to the issues of my brother going to college with me (but he had chickenpox right now that’s why I have to stay away from him), my dad discussing about finance, money and all that, me being bummed and burned out this summer, my relationships with so many things, the tiring talks about CJ Corona, things to write and stuff to do, that feeling when you knew summer is over and an impending new heavy semester will start this June, and almost everything. I don’t know, but these thoughts really sickens me to the point that I really wanted to just sleep and don’t woke up. Forever. But while I was drinking coffee in the balcony with the heavy rain and storm coming in, some sort of a “quote of the moment” whispered in the freezing rain. Everything then made sense to me. At this age, everything is changing. Day by day we don’t notice, but just look back over the past year and you will realize everything has. People you thought were going to be there forever aren’t, and people you never imagined you’d be speaking to are now some of your closest friends. Life makes little sense, and the more we grow the less sense it will make. So make the most of now, before it all changes once again, because in the near future, all of this is only going to be memories.A sense of relief rushed over me as I chewed on the idea of “change” and I know, deep in me, I have to do something. So while writing this, a song from John’s latest album “Born and Raised” trying to juxtaposed on what I feel. The song says, “Alive in the age of worry. Smile in the age of worry. Go wild in the age of worry.And say worry, why should I care?” Yeah. Why should I care anyway? Life is too short to worry about those things and as I always put it, life is not just about me…and it’s not about now.

So to conclude these “worry” going on… I just cut my hair, very very short.

WELCOME TO THE AFTERMATH [PART ONE]

Mon, 28 May 2012 22:37:04 +0800

Some random lyrics that literally did struck me last night while I wasn’t able to sleep well. This is the beautiful exchange and welcome to the aftermath.

Trading your life for my offenses / For my redemption you carried all the blame. / Breaking the curse of our condition / Perfection took our place. / When only love could make a way / You gave your life on a beautiful exchange.

Hi there. Hear again my ever friend, Twina with her raw acoustic cover of Eraserhead’s, “Huwag Mo Nang Itanong”. This cover is really freakin’ good and soothing. And oh, were actually working on “songwriting-mode” again for some definite purpose. Well, we hope we can do this.

P.S Salamat pala sa libre mong “hotdogs” kanina. That was historic! LOLS

Fri, 25 May 2012 23:04:44 +0800

Just want to share to you a line that’s boldly written on my journal. It’s a beautiful quote from my favorite author C.S Lewis. It says:

Give up your self, and you will find your real self. Lose your life and you will save it. Submit to death, death of your ambitions and favourite wishes every day and death of your whole body in the end: submit with every fibre of your being, and you will find eternal life. Keep back nothing. Nothing that you have not
given away will ever be really yours. Nothing in you that has not died will ever be raised from the dead. Look for yourself, and you will find in the long run only hatred, loneliness, despair, rage, ruin, and decay. But look for Christ and you will find Him, and with Him everything else thrown in.

Now there’s only two days left and I’ll be on the road again to finally conclude my summer class and go back to my beloved hometown, there are a lot of things that I’ve been longing for… After all the reruns of busyness and sweats I made on this summer class, the 2 months of living alone on a silent apartment away with my parents, the heartbreak, the learnings, I realised that at this point of my life, I am never too far on His presence - and again and again, He had called me to be on a place of stillness and just be with Him, surrendering all my confusions, the shame and weariness, that after all these things, He is still the same God He said He was.

And I can hear, 2 days from now while I’m sitting on a bus with the piercing sun and a sheets of clouds on a blue sky, His voice. Calm as the wind, surely as a line from the song, “The promise land is just around the bend, let your wind take your wings and bring you home…”

Thu, 24 May 2012 19:07:12 +0800

Sometimes I just have to break free of the things that keeps bugging up my mind and I don’t think that life isn’t just about that “YOLO” concept, but it’s about living a life of “no regrets, just love”. And right now, I wonder what it’s felt like to live a like that. Everyday I stare myself in the mirror, such a young and brave heart ready to chase dreams and to conquer things magically appears. I guess, whatever it is, I will strive to become the person that I wanted to become then. I bet it applies with you too. I mean, look at you. You’re young. And you’re scared. Why are you so scared? Stop being paralyzed. Stop swallowing your words. Stop caring what other people think. Wear what you want. Have Faith. Hope More. Say what you want. Dream higher. Listen to the music you want to listen to. Play it loud as an earthquake and dance to it. Go out for a drive at midnight and forget you have school the next day. Stop waiting for Friday. Flash the biggest smile on the street. Inspire someone. Eat a lot. Be kind to a mortal enemy. Work out! Sing aloud. Run a mile and give off some sweat. Pray always. Give a stranger a High 5. Live now. Do it now. Take risks. Tell secrets. This life is yours. When are you going to realize that you can do whatever you want?

This is my teenage dream and I will run away and don’t ever look back, don’t ever look back…
