my journey to life

"The Path to the Truth"

the Holy Bible

It started last December 15, 2009 when i left for my home town Ozamiz city in northern Mindanao, and went to Cebu City in central visayas.

i arrived in Cebu City December 16, 2009 at 6am in the morning. my cousin fetched me in the port of Cebu, along with her wife Sisa and daughter Solil.

why i traveled? simply because, i would like to look for a greener Pasteur. a good job and a good compensation to support my family back in Ozamiz. so i prioritized Cebu City for it might be the place for a great opportunity, and also a little nearer to my family.

my mind set was to look for a job and only for a job.

then my unexpected journey begun..............................

December 16, 2009 that was Wednesday. i arrived in Cebu and stayed at my cousins in laws house. i asked him if i can stay for awhile and what would be our arrangement. he replied, you can stay as long as you want, then once you get a job that's the time we talk about the arrangement.

so we chit chat with his family. until in the evening after dinner, my cousins sister in law Nissah showed me a video in YouTube. a person named Nick Vujicic a motivational and inspirational speaker. everyone in the living room watched. then as i was watching the video i almost cried, because he who have no arms, no legs, no limbs has no worries in life. while me who is complete worries to much and loosing hope for what the world can offer.

then she showed me again another video in YouTube. Dick and Rick Hoyt.

until my tears fell........................

i saw myself as a father who was so harshed to his family because he cannot provide what was due for them. while there are some people tried to hold you back and why, cant be happy instead on your decision for a life changing journey. from there i realized that my decision is worth at all, for i have a beautiful and wonderful family to lived by.

the following morning December 17, 2009 me and my cousin had an 8am appointment for he was going to show me he's work as a med rep. but then again we had a chit chat with her sister in law Nissah. she gave me a verse from the bible, it was Romans 6-23, then she explained it to me. as i was listening, i said to myself come on show me what you got. then when i checked the time it was passed 8am. so again i said to myself, if my cousin Choy ask me that we have to go, i will rather decline and stay instead, for i want to hear more from his sister in law . funny to think, because it was my first time not to engage in a biblical arguments. but instead, i listened to her. then after she explained to me the passage. she said to me, was it you who have a letter to God? then i replied yes. i post it in my blog in titled "A Letter To God". i told her why i made such a letter. because, i said to myself that, perhaps god was busy listening to others prayer and I'm on the last part of the line. so i decided to make a letter to him using the Internet via my blog, thinking that he might be using the same technology or perhaps have a WIFI in heaven. hoping also to be answered by him or received a comment like gesture from other viewers.

then she said to me. do you know that your letter was answered already? then i replied really?

then she opened again a video in YouTube "Fathers Love Letter". after i watched the video i felt embarrassed to myself, for all along it was in the Internet. i have been using the Internet 24/7 and not a single thought have a chance to find an answer to my letter to god through the Internet.

the only word i can say was AMAZING....................

so December 18, 2009 i went to the company who emailed me for an interview. to no avail, it turned out not the way i expected it to be. so December 19, 2009 it was Saturday when me and Carlo went to Kawit. a 4 hour travel from metro Cebu to its northern part. we arrived at around 9pm. the following morning December 20, 2009. i woke up and saw from the top, the view of Kawit. very beautiful and you will find serenity in the area.


at around 9am the same day. we attended a church service in Balay Kahayag. then a very extraordinary happened.............


first i was born and raised a roman catholic. i used to be an altar boy when i was 10-15 years old. today i am married. my wife was a born again christian as well as my in laws. i used to go with them in their church. i observed what they do while praying and i find it funny. we even have a bible sharing using the world wide web to reached out our relatives from a far and pray, that i find myself annoying in each gathering we made. so it came to the point i decline and let my wife join them. the only religion that i haven't entered was Islam.

but something struck me in Balay Kahayag. i bowed my head and pray. i even raised my right hand when pastor Virgilio said to reached out. funny but its true, i cannot control what i am doing. that time my tears fell. i don't know what happened, it was so strange and unusual for me to do.

its like the devil in me is fading away. for the love of God is now in me and in Jesus my savior that comforts me. i thank thee. amen................

December 25, 2009 i spent my first Christmas far from my family. i felt alone, but Jesus is in me now that all of my worries has gone out. i felt more relaxed that i even gain weight from 155lbs to 160lbs. members of Balay Kahayag gathered for their Christmas party, then there were lots of fun and games.

December 27, 2009 i attended again the service in Balay Kahayag. i ask my cousins if i can take some pictures. they said to me YES. so i started taking pictures. when one of the leaders named Joel, who was talking infront of all the members suddenly called me. out of a sudden i stood up and grab the microphone, then from there i started talking about my journey in Cebu and a life changing that opened a new chapter in my life. an unfamiliar gesture of mine, but by the help of the divine grace i had my testimony.

i will never forget what i experienced in Cebu, Bogo, Medellen, and Kawit. most specially to Balay Kahayag. also to the people who enlightened me. to pastor Virgilio of Balay Kahayag, who i have conversed in the manner that i felt more relaxed and determined to listen to the word of God. i thank you all.

for i have found myself and my soul rejuvenates once more. for God has a reason for every man, and i submit myself and willing to be his child once again.

i spent my new year with my family in Ozamiz city and i will be back in Cebu City on January 10, 2010 to look for a job and with Gods grace all things are possible and to the lord Jesus Christ my saviour.

AMEN.............................

private armies

Private Armies in Philippine Politics

We from northeren Mindanao condemned the horrendous massacre that happened in maguindanao. the country mourns for the death of those people brutally killed in the incident. we shared the same sentiments of those people who lost their love one's.

politics in the Philippines is getting worst as we move forward.............................

the government should disarm all the Private Armies in our country. because this is where the chaos starts.

CAFGUS should be abolished.

local PNP should be assigned to other places and replaced by a non-resident of the town. so that justice will be serve in every individual.


they forgot who to protect and who to served. because they are being held on the neck by those politicians who's nurturing them.

the AFP should be audited, for there are some men and women in uniform sell government armaments to those leftist and terrorist.

what makes a politician stayed in power is because of money and to rule the entire territory. maguindanao is one of the country's poorest town. as you can see from the videos on television, the house of those politician is as big as the provincial capitol then along on its side's are the house of their poor constituents.

is this the place we want to live in?

to stop this mentally derange lawless minded politician in our country vote wisely this coming 2010 election.

we must learn from our mistake in choosing our leader.

start to choose new candidates with new ideas for the betterment of the community.

god bless our country..........................

manny "pacman" pacquiao

the worlds greatest

"pound for pound"

boxer of his time

Manny "pacman" Pacquiao won his seventh title in seventh weight class division by knocking down Miguel Cotto twice. the match that went into the 12th round was completely dominated by pacman.

but what was this issue about a third party?

can Manny "pacman" Pacquiao handled it in 12th rounds?

or he's marriage to madame Jinkee Pacquiao might have a knockdown?

or this is just a gimmick for their upcoming movie Wapakman?

recently there was a rumor that peoples champ Manny Pacquiao has an alleged love affair with sexy young star Krista Ranillo.

veteran actress and director Gina Alajar was evasive when sought for comments on the alleged affair. Gina Alajar was dragged to this issue after she posted a controversial shout out in her facebook wrote: " if i were Jinkee Pacquiao, i would not give up Manny. Krista Ranillo is not at all worth it".

well for the best pound for pound boxer, he rather sealed his lips to this issue...............

but one thing for sure, like mommy Dionisia commented on TV to Jinkee in an interview. said: "Dont get jealous in any controversy about Manny to other women, your the wife and your the one who's handling all the titles".

though, this might be the fall of the greatest legendary boxer............. why???

if this is just another showbiz gimmick for the up coming movie of Manny Pacquiao and leading lady Krista Ranillo in title Wapakman, his doing a deceitful act to gain viewers on the said movie, and perhaps God might take back what he has right now. fame, fortune and most specially his amulet might vanished.

and perhaps on his next fight he will be defeated by Floyd Mayweather jr.

for Manny, you have shown God's grace.

bare in mind the temptation of the dark side that will bring you down.

• women
• gambling
• cheating
• deceit

for Manny, God give you a great skill and power and it comes with great responsibilities. set an example to everybody specially to your kids.

you made the Filipino proud and you put the 3 stars in the sun shine once more

everybody knows you came from a broken family. prove and show to the world that your family is in tact and your faith will prevail.

God bless you and your family, God bless our country..........................................................

journey "faithfully"

"For my wife"

Highway run,
Into the midnight sun,
Wheels go 'round and 'round,
You're on my mind,
Restless hearts,
Sleep alone tonight,
Sendin' all my loveAlong the wire,
They say that the road,
Ain't no place to start a family,
Right down the line,
It's been you and me,
Lovin' a music man,
Ain't all it's supposed to be,
Oh girl, you stand by meI'm forever yours,
Faithfully,
Circus life,
Under the big top world,
We all need the clowns,
To make us smile,
Through space and time,
Always another show,
Wondering where I am,
Lost without you,
And being apart ain't easy,
On this love affair,
Two strangers learn,
To fall in love again,
I get the joy,
Of rediscovering you,
Oh girl, you stand by me,
I'm forever yours,
Faithfully.......

I dedicate this song to my lovely wife SHAN.

wolfgang "natutulog kong mundo"

"My Song"

At naglaho ang liwanag sa dilim,

Walang ingay ngunit nakakabingi,

Bote ng alak na hindi nabuksan,

Mga sigarilyong ubos na ang apoy,

Kaibigan saan ka na ngayon,

Ako'y naghihintay rito,

Sa pagdating ninyo,

Kaibigan ilang oras ang lumipas na,

At wala pa ang anino ninyo lamang,

Kaibigang tunay ka ba,

Wala na ba ngayon ang samahan natin,

Wala na bang kwento ang tahimik naman dito,

Tumatawag walang sumasagot,

Nagsisisi,

May kasalanan ba ako,

Habang ikaw ay nandito,

Kaibigan...

Tulungan n'yo ako upang,

Magising ang,

Natutulog kong mundo,

kailan magigising ang natutulog kong mundo...............

cranberries "ode to my family"

"poem to my family"

Understand the things I say,
don't turn away from me,
Cause I spent half my life out there,
You wouldn't disagree,
D'you see me, d'you see,
Do you like me, do you like me standing there,
d'you notice, d'you notice,
do you see me, do you see medoes anyone care?
Unhappiness was when I was young,
And we didn't give a damn,
'Cause we were raised,
To see life as fun and take it if we can,
My mother, my mother she hold me,
did she hold me, when I was out there,
My father, my father, he liked me,
Oh he lied me, does anyone care?
Understand what I've become,
It wasn't my desire,
And people everywhere think,
something better than I am,
But I miss you, I miss,
'Cause I liked it, 'Cause I liked it,
When I was out there,
d'you know this, d'you know,
You did not find me, you did not find,
does anyone care?
Unhappiness was when I was young,
and we didn't give a damn,
'Cause we were raised,
To see life as fun and take it if we can,
My mother, my mother she hold me,
did she hold me, when I was out there,
My father, my father, he lied me,
Damn he lied me, does anyone care?
does anyone care?

I dedicate this song to my wife, my son, and daughter.

radiohead "creep"

"a Song for my wife"

When you were here before,

Couldn't look you in the eye,

You're just like an angel,

Your skin makes me cry,

You float like a feather,

In a beautiful world,

I wish I was special,

You're so very special,

But I'm a creep,

I'm a weirdo,

What the hell am I doing here?

I don't belong here,

I don't care if it hurts,

I want to have control,

I want a perfect body,

I want a perfect soul,

I want you to notice,

when I'm not around,

You're so very special,

I wish I was special,

But I'm a creep,

I'm a weirdo,

What the hell I'm doing here?

I don't belong here,

She's running out again,

She's running out

She runs runs runs,

Whatever makes you happy,

Whatever you want

You're so very special

I wish I was special

But I'm a creep

I'm a weirdo

What the hell am I doing here?

I don't belong here,

I don't belong here.

I dedicate this song to my wife.......... CREEP by Radiohead..............

God

"a letter to God"

was there a God? who am i to ask this question, im just an ordinary human being... but in this kind of situation im facing right now, sometimes we ask our self. was there really a god? i had a rough and tumble life, but not miserable in a sense. its just that i have things i cant decide which way to go. all the knowledge i have and the skills are stuck. and i feel, so empty. i'm 35years old but i have'nt achieved any. i was left behind by my classmates and friends. it sounds envious, but i envy no one. all i want is a good life for my family. i think i am a good man, a good friend, a good husband, a good father.

i have a beautiful family, they bring me joy each day i woke up. but i cant provide what is due for them. i dont have a stable job, i rely on my rackets sometimes none. good thing i have a sister who atleast financially support me and my family, without her, i am gone.

perhaps i will lose my sanity or to the extent end my life, but i think of my family. who will take care of them when i am gone, but if i am here i cant take care what is for them..............

the truth is i need a job, or a business, just to have money to support them....................

they say money is the source of all evil. but how can we live without money????

perhaps if it is illegal that will be evil....................................

my prayer:

God i praise your name... please takecare of my family in any harm, in any sickness.........please give me wisdom and courage to face this trials. reach me with your hand, touch me my lord and guide me always.

God i know you listen and i know your a loving god, thats why you gave your son to save the sins of the world. its just that i cant wait, god. i surrender my lord. take my wheel, i give it to you.......sorry if i question your authority. my lord i love you and i know you love me. help me my God.

your son,

rc

chiz escudero

say chiz...

i just read from yahoo news that senator chiz escudero resigned from his party NPC founded by his friend and business tycoon Danding Cojuangco, Jr.. is it really true or a diversion tactic to gain sympathy from voters?

well for me it was very brave to face challenges alone without the machinery of a party to back him up. though, i still salute the young senator for doing such great move. i hope the Visayans and mindanao should unite, to have a president from the visayas for us not to be left behind by the imperial manila. from Marcos of ilocos, Aquino of tarlac, Ramos of pangasinan, Erap of san juan metro manila lastly arroyo of pampanga.

perhaps senator chiz doesn't want to be under the dark shadow of danding cojuangco nor other parties. he doesnt want to be manipulated under his watch if ever he became the president of the republic.

nevertheless we have 3 presidentiables running in 2010 elections with most likely close to danding cojuangco. senator chiz, senator noynoy and defense secretary gibo are both nephews of Cojuangco..

i hope senator chiz is true when he was making that decision. i think it is better to run alone than to be use by your party mates in order to achieve their own self interest. but you are a fool doing so, without a back up.

well i guess its up to the people now who to vote this 2010 election. be keen in selecting the next president of the country.

choose a candidate with no debt of gratitude to any self interested politician, businessman and even the Trapo's to pay back once he win the presidency.

choose a candidate with a debt of gratitude to the majority, The Filipino People...

god bless our mother Philippines..................
