Dear Lord, We fervently pray that our nation will be spared from another threatening typhoon. Our suffering people have not recovered from Ondoy's wrath. Please prevent Pepeng and other typhoons from hitting any of our islands. Save us from further calamities by embracing our country with your protective grace and merciful blessings. We also pray for all those who have lost their lives that they may find their home in your kingdom. Mother Mary, we humbly ask for your intercession that we and our families be safe from all these afflictions. In Jesus's most holy name, we all pray, Amen.

At the same time, we would like to thank the lord for keeping us safe here in singapore. having the luxury not to experience these types of disasters, we are blessed. we come home everyday to our families while others out there have no families. the pain they feel is immense and the wound they would bear is deep. let us all pour in our prayers for them.

some things just NEVER change.
my goodness.

i was on top of the world at one moment
the next i was rock bottom.
i never expected this to happen, but somehow it did
sitting alone in my room thinking abt the what ifs
and the could haves.
it wasnt worth it, i see it all now.
prayers was all i could give
i hoped for a silver lining
i hoped for the pain to go
then i saw a shimmer of light
a light that came from a star(*winks)
the tears stopped flowing and nightmares disappeared
colours filled every corner
i knew i could find that comfort from you
although you might not be perfect, that's not what i see
the impurities dont chase me away
it draws closer to you.
i never wanna look back
im happy with what i am now
they were right i'd be better this way
i've forgiven and forgotten.

HAAAPPPPYY FAAATTHHEERR'S DAAAY DAD! :Dwell well, this man right here is my all extremely fashionable, YOUNG(naaaks) father. haha. if you would describe how my father makes an impact in my life? probably in every component you can name. From girls to studies, LAHAT talaga. that's why i dont know what i'd do without him. really, i dont know where i'd stand without my father by my side.

the thing that i love about my father so dearly is that he leads with superb example. he knows EXACTLY what to say. he knows how to make me feel guilty, better and even angry. haha. hmm.. i'd share one experience. it was weeks after valentines day and i was feeling shit due to circumstances i dont wna mention and for the first time in a long time, i seeked my father's comfort. i just wanted to hear him scold me and tell me to stop crying. i wanted him to tell me that everything was gna be okay.

my father is everything you say he would be, he can be really caring and loving, he can be really drunk(and funny), he is also very easy to get along with. he's also a spiritual figure to me.

so daddy, this post is dedicated truly for you. i love you very much and i want you to know that although sometimes i neglect you and this family, i never forget. you'll always be my inspiration and my strength. i want you to know that because of you and mom, i am what i am right now. even this post alone cant express the gratitude i wanna give to you both.

happy fathers day again dad! (:

gotta go. gotta review on what the heck to teach tmr. MAN. haha.

hey! i kinda feel a lil guilty cos i have friends that actually blog about the whole camp and i was just there to blog briefly. so here i am again to blog entirely about confirmation camp. so here i go.

Day 1:

so lets see, i went home, totally not excited about the camp, lazed around for hours and only started packing at 5.30pm. amazingly, i lazed around even more. haha. so conclusion? yes, i was late. arrived at SAPS at 7.30pm. (camp starts at 7) and i saw Adriel and i walked with together with him in. went to check in and group 4 was my destiny. well, not really excited cos i wanted group 2, reg's group or kat's group. my group only had Ivan, which im no even close. but heck, we played speed dating where i speed dated kellee, joan, carol and katt. oh and my facils were francis and laura. so played dog and bone and it wasnt really fun. haha, after which, we went into the AVA room and that was where we shared about the holy spirit and confirmation etc. i shared honestly about my opinions. haha. then we went for night walk and the only thing we could solve was the mr queen puzzle. but the answer was quite smart actually. so yeahh. so we had supper, like almost expired biscuits and butter/peanut butter. cam whored a lil with michi, kat and reggy. dom, gabe and JT came and we played this game were the forfeit was between 2 ppl where one of them has to lick of the butter/peanut butter off the other's finger. haha, reg and gabe owe us! haha. then after that, pressed the snooze button.

Day 2:

day 2 was the most memorial day of the camp, and it was a day i will never ever forget for the rest of my life. had P&W in the morning and as usual, AWESOME. then we had this session where we had to act out skits from various distractions? that distracts us from growing our faith with god. my group had to do FEAR. almost to destined huh? haha, and surely enough, we did a skit.(prolly gna post the skit next time i blog) alot of ppl loved it and my group had serious fun. after that, we prepared to go to xiao guilin. we had to walk there fyi, but i didnt mind one bit. walked with kat, rizal, natalie and few others. wen we reached the place, we ate our lunch there and my group did sharing again. we had to find out what powers i had and it was EXPERTISE. kinda cool eh? haha, thank you lord! (: my group is obsessed with pics i tell you. haha. they took aot of jump shots and just shots and group photos. haha. went to 7/11 before walking back to SAPS. crapped back with my friends and new friends. when we reached the sch, we played a mini soccer match in the classroom. dont get me wrong, it was FUNN! haha. we eventually son 6-2. haha. went up to the AVA room and we went to have a P&W session i think? but i know later that night, they prepared us for reconcilliation.(sp?) had P&W, songs were extremely great. i opened my heart and let the holy spirit just rush through me. i went to talk to kat and reg and all of a sudden, reg cried, obviously i comforted them and i just kept thanking them. comforted natalie and a random girl too. when i was ready for confession, i went to line up. while waiting, many things dwelled in my head. and when i finally got to the priest, i released EVERTHING. i told him everything. and when i listened to him talk, i just broke down, cos i just felt an extreme comfortness and when i said thank you the priest, he said. "your welcome, i will pray for you." and i cried evenmore after that. i felt extremely light and i was overjoyed. i was just all smiles. :D then we got stuck in the room cos smth was up and we got locked up till 12 plus. we couldnt bath cos they restricted us to go to the first floor. then when we got the news that we could bath, we dashed to the toilet. hahaha. chilled out with kat and reg, then went to canteen where kat deliberately spilled her milo on her shirt. hahaha. then went to play a game with rizal, thaddeus,chelsea,amanda,mel kam and some other girl. lights out was 2.30 but i slept arnd 3 smth. my goodness, i cannot forget this one. i was abt to sleep when suddenly, JT said sorry! hahahaha. and i was like "john, the heck aare you talking about" and there was no ans. haha, i figured he was sleep talking. hahaa. shane and nicholas S heard him too. hahahaha. then it was lights out for me.

Day 3:

this was the last and final day. i was kinda disappointed really. cos at the back of my head, i knew it was gna finish. sighh. so ya, i woke up at 7.10am. yeah i know, late. haha so i didnt bath, since i alr bathed at night. went to AVA room and sang praises to the lord! haha. then we had to go to our respective PA groups. Junior cats did a skit and we presented out proposals. fun, fun, fun. then we went to the canteen and i ate with dom, mich and germaine. it was funny cos we were making fun of each other. and germaine was asking me many Qs. haha. so after i finished my food, i had pieces of meat stuck between my teeth. so what a normal person with a normal reaction would do is to take is out. but it seemed so funny to germaine and she laughed at me really hard. well, all of them did. haha. retarded really. haha. after that, i went to bath with dom(separated cubicles) haha. did area cleaning then it rained really heavily. we had to do some affirmation thing and was supposed to have mass. but father couldnt make it cos of the rain and the drive way was blocked by a fallen tree. oh well. :/ after one last P&W, took photos and went home.

Kat, i would thank god so much for sending such a wonderful friend like you to me. oh how blessed i feel really. you never gave up on me, i've made plenty of mistakes, but you never stopped believing in me. your so wonderful in so many ways and i promise that ill be here anytime you need anything. especially if you need it in a guys perspective. i love you soo much pare! ((:

(: haha.

Nat, Amanda and others, im just so glad to have watch ya'll grow your faith in god into new levels. continue letting god be the centre of you respective lives. remember, LOVE is the greatest miracle. cos LOVE is GOD. (:

After a while you learn
The subtle difference between
Holding a hand and chaining a soul
And you learn that love doesn’t mean leaning
And company doesn’t always mean security.

And you begin to learn
That kisses aren’t contracts
And presents aren’t promises
And you begin to accept your defeats
With your head up and your eyes ahead
With the grace of a woman
Not the grief of a child

And you learn
To build all your roads on today
Because tomorrow’s ground is
Too uncertain for plans
And futures have a way
Of falling down in mid flight

After a while you learn
That even sunshine burns if you get too much
So you plant your own garden
And decorate your own soul
Instead of waiting
For someone to bring you flowers

And you learn
That you really can endure
That you are really strong
And you really do have worth
And you learn and you learn
With every good bye you learn.
