"Pag-abot"   Samtang ako gisulat kini nga mga pulong, ang akong kasingkasing napuno sa mga emosyon nga dili makaya sa mga pulong nga ipahayag .   Gikan sa pag-abot nimo sa akong kinabuhi, nausab ang tanan.   Gikan sa pag-abot nimo nahimo ka nga suga sa kahayag nga naggiya kanako sa labing kangitngit nga mga panahon, ug ang tinubdan na dili masukod nga nagpuno sa akong mga adlaw sa kalipay.   Ang pag abot sa imung presensya sa akong kinabuhi sama sa usa ka matahum nga melodiya, nga nagsulud sa agianan niini sa mismong panapton sa akong pagkatawo. Ang pag abot sa imung paagi nga ang imong katawa mokidlap sama sa kristal nga tin-aw nga sapa, A ng pag abot sa imong pahiyom nga makapukaw sa adlaw, ug ang kainit sa imong paghikap nga nagpakurog sa akong tuhud - kining tanan nagpahinumdom kanako sa pinasahi na panalangin nga gihatag sa Ginoo kanako.   Ug sa tinood na estorya, ayha sa imung pag-abot sa akong kinabuhi, gihigugma na tika daan pa ...

A Fratman / Fratwoman Is A Leader We had uncertain feeling where we want to express ourselves through writings. Yes, we can write, we can dictate, we can emphasize, but not all of us can influence in a good way. If given a chance to speak about our society, all of us are big-mouthed about it. There are many things I want to stress out. As I have marked previously  that "the predominant issue in our society today is not poverty, but the inability to raise up men of honor, integrity and character. In this article, my focal point is the minor details that most people made inattentions. We tend to see the bigger picture yet we fail to notice the crucial points. From the very beginning, the world  has so much demand of leaders that have the heart to change and influence the next generation. But we have become unfaithful and unreliable. The Bible says:   "Their loyalty is divided between God and the world and they are unstable in everything they do." James 1:8.  We ha...

SENSES FAILED Luke 6:36 36 You must be compassionate, just as your Father is compassionate" If only men would understand and capture the very heart of God; we would be living in a fail-proof environment, where families will manifest their role in raising up godly generation; children would grow in tuned to God's perfect plan. Unfortunately, we are misled by our own distinct opinions. Having different kinds of solutions to our problem that doesn't lead us to our right answers; creating cultures propelled by confusion; pertaining to an indifferent environment that harbor wrong beliefs; acquiring a mindset that results to a disturbing attitude. I firmly believe that one of the predominant issues in our society today is the rising of emotional instability of men that makes him incapable of getting the heart of God. Instead of stepping into our devotion with the Father, we are stepping into our emotion. God situated me in a corporate world where I get to see differ...

The entity of life: living is leaving our simple ways behind. Yet life is a process that we must be on a progressing state. "Your achievements/victories before cannot sustain your present life". I have encountered a woman named FOLLY, and FYI, she loves the simple! Therefore I can assume that simplicity is not beauty! Simplicity is an imperilment. It gives us a mindset to settle. It pulls us down, it is an enemy called satisfaction! It is a barrier for growth.. We all know that growth is intentional, no one grows by itself.  Embrace discipline: read books, exercise, donate blood, write a song, a poem or a book, give cake to someone,  water the plants, bear-hug your mom, run a marathon with your dad,  treat your siblings, go to church, join cell groups.  EMBRACE LIFE, Life is coupled with hardships and challenges. Challenges are directly proportional to time, as the year increases, the greater are the challenges. So leave your simple way...

Mounted picture start to be put on the walls, insights, comprehensions that must be documented in writings, our ambivalent feeling where we want to express ourselves through music and compositions. Yes, we can write, we can dictate, we can emphasize, but not all of us can influence. If given a chance to speak about our society, all of us are big-mouthed about it. There are many things I want to stress out. As I have marked in my recent article, that "the predominant issue in our society today is not poverty, but the inability to raise up men of honor, integrity and character (see Affordaboy). In this piece, my focal point is the minor details that most people made inattentions. We tend to see the bigger picture yet we fail to notice the crucial points. Jesus said in Matthew 7:3-5 "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck o...

A year of my existence where catastrophe and triumph collide Where feet may fail and hope surrounds. The mortar of deception has aim its target Yet His grace abounds with never ending pavements God is faithful even when you're not 24 years of my existence, I've chased a life where its day was on fire I've embraced a moment where skies are bleeding above me I took a step near death And walk these lines of blasphemy But harbinger of love awaits in every minute of misery Then the world arose all around me, And mountains stood in the path I see I look to love that never fails, That eventuate at the cross of Calvary 24 years of my existence, I found a love greater than life itself I found the love in my union with Christ Everything I need is in Him, Now there's nothing in this world that could ever satisfy me So I thank my God each day I woke up, for the trials and circumstances, I thank my God for every pain and sorrow. I thank my God for every good ...

Sunshine, won't you be my mother Sunshine, come and help me sing My heart is darker than these oceans My heart is frozen underneath We are crooked souls trying to stay up straight, Dry eyes in the pouring rain The shadow proves the sunshine The shadow proves the sunshine Two scared little runaways Hold fast to the break of day light were The shadow proves the sunshine Oh Lord, why did you forsake me? Oh Lord, don't be far away away Storm clouds gathering beside me Please Lord, don't look the other way

A Priscilla is an Overcomer Protecting her relationship with God is the first thing she consider She augments her desire in using her leadership ability With the approach of enticement she determined to disagree She can comprehend her own daily strife Yet she masters the enemy’s traps in her affectionate life. A Priscilla is proficient in communication She knows to connect in different kinds of person Her pleasant voice liquefy the stony heart of the isolated With her strong personality disciplines the life of a discontented The status of the melancholy would just caught her attention She has words of affirmation that leads to their determination. A Priscilla can handle every negative situation She listens, obey and follow when God seems to fail her expectation She never settle in discourage nor being adverse In every minute detail, she cares like a nurse A world full of futile and unworthy canvass During her hopeless situation she draw near t...

I’ve got greater responsibility now, the more I need God. It’s been many sunrise since I left Cebu. And obviously I missed them already.  A single day is like a hundred days here.  Time moves so slow..   Everyday I'm always introspecting about the things I need to do. Nevertheless, it’s not my first time to visit my home town (Iligan City), but staying here for so long is quite unparalleled. Cebu is where I face my giants, were deeper battles or war inside pre-occupied my daily routine.  Challenges and responsibilities were echoed at the four corners of my crib. But the good thing was, I'm so used to it. I've begun to grow and experienced a life were everyday I must wear my “armadora”. Maturity and Managing are the 2 M’s that comes on my pavement, or should I say 3, but it died (chuckles). Cutting the long story short. That’s my brief impulse in Cebu.               ...

" Where there is no vision, the people perish Proverbs 29:18" Let us mourn of our death. The death of the youth, for we no longer value or insights and the quality of our lives. I am placed in various situations already where youths should have been the forerunners. But the truth is we, the youths prefer to be just behind the scene. We just don't care enough. A lot of systems in our community need changes. We do complain a lot, no doubt about that, this could only mean that we feel, we discern and we realize that something is wrong. Do know that grumbling alone will not change anything. Are we so    pathetic not to do anything about the things we complain about? Are we so naive to think that we are not personally or permanently affected? We are the youth, we are the future. But we do not prepare for it. We will end up becoming the adults that we complain about today. The hard fact of this cycle is that we actually do not end up on the same spot that t...

ABSTRACT Today, economic growth and changing consumption and production patterns result a rapid increase in generation of waste plastics in the world. According to studies, the world’s annual consumption of plastic materials has increased from around 5 million tonnes in the 1950s to nearly 100 million tonnes, thus twenty (20) times more plastic is produced today than 50 years ago. This is an implication of using more resources to meet the increased demand of plastic while generating more plastic waste. Having this implication, the research team designed and fabricated a machine, segregating plastics out of mix waste from CIT-University. Based on research, around 30% of the garbage collected inside the campus is plastic waste. This is essential to develop a plastic-waste separating system that would help the promotion of recycling plastics and in order to avoid environmental deterioration through reusing materials whose composition enables their recovery. The system is composed ...

       "Our leaders come from among ourselves, our culture produce inadequate leaders and breed problems that leadership cannot fix, which generates further problems new leaders cannot address". (Dr. Myles Munroe)       What masculine is, is simply what a man does. Assuming responsibility for your actions; being sympathetic , sensitive, and caring; and gentleness are perfectly fine for men. A true man is not a hard-nosed, violent, overgrown child; he's a mature, kind individual. (from Urban Dictionary)      I understand that the most bereaved person in the world is a man who doesn't  gain respect. Respect is something we earned; it cannot be procured by a price or haggle by a trade. People respect you if you respect them, men respect women if they respect men or the other way around. These is my empiricism, these is what I see, these is what I choose not to be. Don't get me wrong, I'm talking in a world's per...

the bleeding past of the E.I. of a 16 year old boy his way to understand love is like grasping a deluded toy a past full of darkness seems no light can enter pretending to be weightless but wrestle to render his life was made up of flaws stitched with good intentions from his good intention overshadowed by her phlegmatic pretensions he feel the fear of letting go of his past six years preoccupied by a love he thought that wouldn't last now the moment comes of a disgraceful breakdown like an ocean of sorrow penetrates in an innocent clown watching time pass by in a pendulum swing his excruciating pain was parallel to a scorpion sting the touch of glory the inevitable loss a pleasant memories a painful pause escaping prison for he might seek joy but trapped by the E.I. of a 16 year old boy At the window of my house      I looked down through the lattice.   I saw among the simple,    ...

   " And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell will not overcome it.     I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven .” Matthew 16:18-19   Having Peter as my name? What a pressure. I sometimes felt the words of Jesus when He spoke to Simon Peter as if He was speaking to me. Not to mention God’s promises to Peter, what a predicament. Peter, a choleric but an impulsive guy, having his “yes” as a “no”, and his “no” as a “yes”. Too bad. He even despised Jesus. But despite of all his imperfections, he has the heart, the heart to submit, to humble, the heart to lead and the heart to change the world. Changing the world is changing you. You can’t be a conqueror outside if not first on the inside. All about breakthrough .     Breakthrough is something ...
