Christmas For HeartSale

Nowadays, children were bounded with a lot different thoughts and ideas about Christmas.  Different as what my parents had taught me about this very special day of the year.  There are some who are very much excited about Santa Claus; some are after with  the gifts that they will be receiving on that day; some are too excited, thinking of the parties, foods and even with whom they will be celebrating the season with.  

Unlike with what my parents told us, Christmas is special and important because it is Jesus Christ's day; it is His birth.  A day where, just like what we should do everyday, we will continually give love, kindness, care and share everything that we have to others.  A day to continually inwardly reminisce and cherish what had Jesus taught to and done for us.

 On the other hand, children should not be blamed with those thoughts that they have about Christmas because it is actually of how people around influence and let them so.  Will children be excited more about Santa Claus if we are to introduce or let them realize on their young age the real importance of Christmas?  Will they be more excited with the parties and number or kind of gifts that they will be receiving if we teach them what those gifts are for?

Christmas is not about whom you will celebrate with nor what you have on your table to eat; It is not about the quality nor the quantity of the gifts that you will give or you will received; Christmas is not about having decorations in your houses nor a star on the Christmas tree; It is not about wearing red suits and red hats.

Christmas is about doing good things to others to make God and Jesus Christ be proud. Christmas is about Jesus and the children of love, understanding, peace, kindness and goodness, the children of God; a day where we continually cherish, be thanked and value everything we receive from Him. 

So, If  I am to help children for them to have a bountiful Christmas, first in hand , I will let them realized what Christmas is really for.  I will be transmitting the value with how my parents positively molded me with the true means of Christmas. How? I will lead them to open the door and inwardly welcome Jesus Christ on their hearts and effulgence their faith to Him.  I will make them realized that best Christmas will be experience if they first best let Jesus' spirits be in their mind, heart and soul.

We have the quotation, "It is not the gift but thought that counts", similar with what Christmas is for.  It is not what we have or whom we are with on this day, but it is how we celebrate it.  Christmas is a day for everybody. Let us not just simply enjoy this day, we must outreach ourselves to everybody.  Let children be bounded with the true means and spirit of Christmas.  Let us, together with children, invite and welcome Jesus Christ in every parties and celebrations that we will have.  Let us help children to effulgent their faiths and beliefs.  Teach them to realize the beauty and sense of giving and receiving gifts.  

On these Christmas, I'l be still wearing the "hat" of goodness, kindness and love. I will distribute and let children to wear this hat too. On this simple way, I am helping children to have a meaningful Christmas. 

Advance and an early Merry Christmas greetings to everybody!

As we have reflected with each and everyone's happy thoughts, what I have realized and learned is that the best thing to do in order to get rid of everything that blocks our way to success and happiness is to LIVE WITH OUR FAITH.  

Faith is to believe.  If we want to see the fruit of our faith to God, then we have to do also our part.  God is everywhere and in order to feel His presence, we must welcome Him in ours.  He always has reasons behind of everything: the challenges; success and failures; pains and happiness; and our ups and downs.  

Everything that happens in our passage is purposeful that makes our lives so meaningful.  

Find silence... help your self see the light...welcome God and fill your heart with your hope, faith, goodness and love.


I am starting to become interested and muse about hearing others experiences and insights.  Theirs that also teaches me and let me see how beautiful life is.  Others' experiences add puzzle pieces that strongly builds how I positively view life.

Happy Ending

Parte na marahil ng buhay ang makasakit' masaktan. Sabi pa nga nila mas matindi ang tama kapag malapit sa puso mo ang siyang dahilan; Mas mahirap tanggapin ang nagawang kasalanan maski malimutan ang sakit na nauuwi sa matinding pighati.

Minsan nang nasubok ang puso sa ganitong kawalan sa kauna- unahan, wari'y isang baguhan at ang mga pangyayari'y hindi maintindihan. Ang tanging alam ay kailangan kong ilabas ang unang luha sa pag-ibig na di ko inaasahang mauuwi sa pighati. Bagamat, ang katumbas ng luha wari'y mula noong ako'y sanggol pa lamang.

Akala ko noon, wala lamang at di naman talaga kailangan lumuha sa mga panahong naiiwan ka ng iyong minamahal. Naghahanap lamang ng karamay at pansin ang taong lumuluha na kadalasa'y nauuwi lamang sa pagkaawa. Kaya naman ako'y tila tinamaan ng bato at nasigawang, "Ngayon alam mo na?!" noong ako na mismo ang bida sa kwento nitong yugto ng buhay.



Maraming beses pang naulit ang ganitong pagsubok. Tila pagsusulit sa eskwelahan na kailangan saguta't ipasa kung hindi bagsak ka... ikaw ang kawawa... baka pagtawanan ka pa. Kung nagkakaroon nga marahil ng kalyo ang puso, marahil puno na ito't makapal na dahil sa walang ulit na pagsalang nito sa iba't ibang pagsubok. Ngunit sa dami-dami mang ulit na makasakit' masaktan, iisa lamang ang dapat kahantungan: ang matuto at magpatawad.

Sabi nila kapag ikaw ay natutong magpatawad at maski humingi nito, tinapos mo na rin at pinagaan ang kalooban mong bigat na sa dinadala.


Gaano man kahirap, yun ang nararapat. Gaano man kalalim ang sugat, saa't ano pa man mauuwi din ito sa kapatawaran. Tamang panahon at lugar lamang ang dapat hintayin at kapag ito ay dumating, lakas at kabukalang loob ay nararapat din.

Experience Pondered to Ponder

To reach the satisfaction and happiness in life, that will make no longings in you anymore is one of the great achievement that I will ever have. Achievement that I consider as blessing from God: A blessing that, somehow, a challenge that will surely test me on how will I be living with it; how will be I engaged into it and how will I be effectively use it; will I just be happy, sit down and relax myself? or will I use it as a reason to help others to have theirs too?

Personally, I do not want this to come (though I consider it as an achievement). Knowing that as some people have their satisfaction and happiness, in some point, they will be contented with their lives. This is what I am afraid so. I am not actually afraid to be contented in my life but I am just afraid that this contentment will let me, somehow, to forget that, " Hey, it is not the end of everything! I am not the only man who deserves to be happy."

Why I am so into this idea? Because I just closely experience it. I personally became a "VICTIM": Victim in a web of a "NON-SENSE" relationship. In a relationship where I am just being used as something to be proud of but not being actually loved, a source of happiness...

In short I was taken for granted. I don't hate those people who uses others to be happy and satisfied with their lives but I treat them as an inner drive for me to avoid nurturing this stupidity and help others to be aware of it.

The experience made me stronger, stronger with my principle. Experience that TAUGHT me, something that I will carry and nurture as long as I live and as I am ready again to be in a relationship. An experience which I do not consider as a failure, but a mind calling for I to be more responsible not just simply in a relationship but also as how I regard people and life as a whole.


An experience to ponder indeed.

Silence is Life

There are some points in life that I do not understand. Even if I've experienced some things as before it is still new to me . It seems that I just see life experience as simply a part of my life that possibly could be part of others, but then I do not have deeper understanding with it. I do not see life with a great purpose until I finally found silence and had befriend with it.
Silence is life. A perfect place where I can reflect and realize things that I have gone through. An exact place where I can able to see life with full of ups and downs but then has, initially, its purposes. An unique place where I can perfectly accumulate my life experience to help my self to become better and stronger.
With silence, I am able to effectively use my weaknesses to fortify my strengths. I can able to think positively with every threats of life. I am able to accept things as it have its purposes. As I am befriend with silence, I start to become a more competent person as I dwell with the challenges destined to me and conquer with negativism that I might have as I fight and persevere in this battle of life against "quitting": Quitting which I consider is just a product of loosing faith and withdrawing from ones principle. And knowing myself, I will not ever loose my faith and will forever stand with my principle in life as long as that I am with Him and of course with those I love. Though I find life as the hardest job to work for, my faith never puts me down. Though it is kind a hard to pursue if there is always pulling you down and everything seems useless despite of everything you have done, as I breath with my faith I still stand.
It is the only place where I can peacefully get rid off things that I am doubting of. The appropriate place to refresh and to go back. The place that I will not ever forget... A place called "SILENCE".Everyone has silence: in our hearts, minds and in our souls. Silence means light. There we still have God that helps us, guides us and bless us. That is why I can positively view life because I know that God is with me and I can feel His presence more in silence. It is not a dream, it is not death and it does not mean loneliness. Silence is the perfect time to see what is inside of our own.
I believe that those persons who are capable to have their silence are the lucky ones who find no difficulties in life. Silence will show realities in life that we could not just easily see.
In times of giving up... the best way that I can offer as my help is to help you must find your own silence as you find of course God in your mind, soul and your heart.
Silence is life.
