    The Youth Summit 2010 Experience - Part 2

    Part 1: Click here


    Part 2 of my UNSTOPPABLE experience as they call it. Everyone were tired and went to bed already before 12. Tired yet excited for what God will do on the second day. 


    Hazel told me before I went to sleep that 2 of our jeeps we rented refused to  give their service on the second day. We immediately propose our van and Kuya Bong's to be the substitute. God really works behind the scenes. Special mention to Kuya Anthony who drove Kuya Bong's van. Unstoppable.


    Day 2 (December 29)


    Our meet-up was moved to 5AM since we know we'll have good seats on the Lower Box section. Unfortunately, the Urvan needed to go early because of the number coding. Now, the boys and Arian were left on our van. 


    - Got to Ninoy around 7AM. Sarap ng byahe. Swabe. No traffic. The girls lined up for us. Thank you!


    - An opening number was performed by KKB Cavite. Galing ni insan. Super like.


    - First speaker on the second day was Pastor Alex Garcia of JIL Pampanga. Natamaan lahat nung sinabi na about sa lovelife. "Huwag nyong limitahan ang sarili nyo. Wait for God's timing. For now, enjoy the friendship you have."


    - By the way, there were 31 delegates from CYN - the international counterpart of KKB Movement outside the Philippines. Benjie, from Italy led worship. Amazing team indeed. Isang araw lang sila nagpractice. Knowing that they came from different countries. Kaya nyo yon?


    - KKB Pampanga and KKB Cebu also led the congregation to worship with new songs. Refreshing.


    - One of the 15 students of Bro. Eddie spoke on the 2nd session. Pastora Amor was the first SCOM head during the early days of JIL. She shared her story on how they do evangelism during their time. They were UNSTOPABBLE!


    - To finish the 2nd day of the Leaders' session, Bro Eddie concluded that we need the Holy Spirit's power to be UNSTOPPABLE. No matter what happens, press on toward the goal and set your eyes on the things above and eternal.


    - Finally, our delegates got together again around 4PM at the baseball stadium. This time we were sitting on the field. Parang picnic lang. 


    - Sec. Joel preached again and introduced his baby to the 12,000 young people. All I can say is WOW! Seeing that baby made me believe that God indeed is sovereign despite the situations we have in life and He can always turn the things around for our benefit and for His glory.


    - Edith Mendoza talked about worship. We need to worship God everyday not only during summits to be UNSTOPABBLE. Another altar call and Bro. Eddie said this simple words that made us cry - Mahal na mahal kayo ng Diyos. Powerful. Sarap pakinggan. Nothing can separate us from His love and grace. Thank You!


    - Brenan Espartinez sang a Christian Remix Version of OMG by Usher. Napa-partyparty lahat. oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh


    - The rest is history. Praise and worship to the max! Everybody went crazy! As in CRAZZYYYYY!!!!!!! Wohooo!


    - Picture picture before leaving the venue. 


    Next year ulit. Now time to put all those learnings into action. Grace at its best!

    Bagong Taon - 2011

    Ang bilis ng panahon, ilang oras na lang 2011 na. Naging makabuluhan at masaya ang aking 2010. Marami akong natutunan. Maraming nakilalang bagong kaibigan. Maraming taong nakasama na nagpasaya sa akin. Maraming biyayang natanggap. Maraming pagkaing natikman. Maraming napuntahan na lugar. Maraming pangyayaring nagpabago ng aking kaisipan. 


    Sa kabila ng lahat, nalaman ko na masarap mabuhay lalo na pagkasama mo si Lord. May mga pagkakataong masaya, meron din namang pagkakataong malungkot. Sa bawat araw lagi kang may matutunan at kailangan mo lamang ng bukas na isipan upang matanggap ng buong buo ang mga bagay na magtuturo kung pano talaga mabuhay na puno at kasiya-siya.


    Ako ay lubos na nagagalak sa mangyayari ngayong 2011. Alam kong maraming darating na bago. Bago sa paningin ko. Mga bagong bagay na huhubog sa aking pagkatao. Kaya naman maligayang Bagong Taon sa inyong lahat. THE BEST IS YET TO COME!

    The Youth Summit 2010 Experience - Part 1

    A day after the most awaited event of the KKB-CYN Movement. Refreshed. Energized. Hyped. Changed. Now time to share my story.


    Day 1 (December 28)


    I just came from our 4 day vacation in Cabanatuan. Haven't got a good sleep yet but all is worth it when you spend time with your relatives. I called Hazel and ask her the final details for the SUMMIT. She told me that we will rent 4 jeeps for all of our delegates. Woke up early by 3AM. Thanks to my alarm! Got to church around 4AM and surprised that we're almost complete. Yeah!


    - Got to Ninoy Aquino Stadium at exactly 6:30AM, walang traffic. Good thing we lined up already coz by 8AM the line went through the entrance of Rizal Baseball Stadium.


    - 6 of us we're seated on the VIP area and the rest including me were in the Lower Box section.


    - All were excited and hyped during the Praise and Worship (more of Citipointe and Planetshakers) Kuya Jade and Ate Jovi were the hosts. KKB Merchandise all around. Sayang naubusan kami ng Stop Me, If You Can shirt.


    - First speaker was Pastor Bobot. This was the first time that I listened to Him with full attention. He talked about Intimacy with God. Great preaching to start the Summit. Before you can be unstoppable, you must know and have an intimate relationship with God first. How? He must be your HOME, HELP and HAPPINESS. Listen to Gary V's Warrior Is A Child and you'll know what I'm talking about.


    - Kuya Jade and Ate Jovi introduced the KKB Movement Card. Pero di pa ko nakaka-avail. Hahaha


    - Second speaker was Sec. Joel. I heard him talk many times but this time it's different. He talked about the role of the church in the society. How the church must influence their respective communities and be the light in those dark places. He also testified about his first born son, and his child was a living testimony that God is a miracle-working God. Amazing!


    - The last speaker for the Leaders' session was Dr. Dory Villanueva. She talked about the importance of mentoring in building relationships with fellow believers who are just starting their walk with God.


    - General Session started at 5PM. We were on the bleachers of the baseball stadium together with all of our first timers. It was a BIG venue!


    - Production numbers were great. Thumbs up for all those participants!


    -Rev. Joey shared his story and led thousands of young people to come Jesus and make Him the Lord of their lives. Young people ran towards the stage. Goosebumps. Parang Billy Graham crusade! It was a great sight to see those young people to surrender everything and put their full trust on God.


    - Youth Tube is back! Donita Rose shared her story that God is the only who can complete their life, not material things or relationhips, only God. She also shared how can we be a good testimony and let our life be the living example to the people around us. And through our life story, people will see the change and eventually come to Christ.


    - Got home by 1030PM. Bilis ng byahe. Kelangan matulog ng maaga para magising ng maaga for the second day.

    - I can feel the Christmas spirit with all those songs performed in stage.


    - Me, Guian, Ryan, Dong and Mark danced a remix of Here I Am To Worship. Been a while. I still love dancing. First love


    - PS Alain preached about the real spirit of Christmas and that is WORSHIP. He talked about what the witnesses(Mary, shepherds and the three wise men) did on the first Christmas, and we should do the same too.


    - Church's Christmas Party was held at The Old Spaghetti House in Paseo. First time to be there with my spiritual family.


    - Games were crazy. Delicious pasta. Ham giveaways. Picture-Picture. Good times.


    - got home by 6PM, excited for Azkals game at 8PM

    Obedience

    Honor your father and mother.


    One of the most neglected commandment by the youth. As a teenager a few years ago, naks! (feeling matured). I know the feeling that you can do anything and you don't need any help. You like to be with your friends rather than spending quality time with your family. 


    During the last session of FORMDEV, Doc Sison asked one of the students if she know and do God's will. The girl said yes, and Doc asked her a follow up question if she's obeying her parents. It will be hard for us to obey God whom we don't see if we don't obey our parent whom we see everyday. That hit me hard. I remember when I always yell at my mom, I realized now that it's not a good example to set for my younger siblings. Good thing, God is always there to remind and correct us for our mistakes.


    You can be active in church/school/organization/club and do all those stuff but if you're not obedient at home, well better check you heart if its still on the right path. As a son or daughter, we must learn to obey them even if it's against our will. But one thing I do know, and I guarantee you this: They just want what's best for us. Period.

    Azkals: The Philippine National Football Team

    Football is loved all over the world except here in the Philippines. We all know that basketball is the main sport here but now things are starting to change.


    Introducing, the AZKALS!!!


    Why Azkals? (got this form their FB page)


    An askal is a Filipino term for any dog with no pedigree, no breed, no class. The askal is usually astray, unsupported and survives by feeding on whatever provision it can find. The Filipino national football team can relate to this mongrel, they have almost no support from a government thats suppose to support them, they are underdogs not just only to the world but even in their own region, South East Asia. But despite these odds, just like an askal the National Team is a survivor. No matter how many 5-0s or 7-0s it suffers, it keeps on fighting. Despite no funding, it continues to strive to become better. And in a country where basketball is the main sport, even if they don't have a whole lot of support from their own kababayans they still manage to pull out results and try their very best to inspire a nation marred by corruption, violence and civil war.

    So yes, they are underdogs, but they never surrender our fight!





    Finally, a sport that suites my taste.


    Last week up to now, our Azkals is making a history and putting back our country to the Football leagues in Asia and in the world. For those who don't know and not a fan of football at all. Here's some news that maybe, just maybe will change your perception about this sport. 


    Azkals beat Vietnam, the defending champion with a score of 2-0.
    Azkals won against Singapore, 5-0.
    Azkals tied with Myanmar at 0-0.


    And now, for the first time in history we're on the semis. Last night we were defeated by Indonesia, with all those 88,000 fans I can feel the pressure to our players not being able to play on our home game. Our team did great last night, it was just a lucky goal! 


    Some exciting news again:
    -#azkals and Younghusband are included to top 10 trending topics last night on Twitter
    -Philippines will host the AFF Suzuki Cup on 2012
    -Philippines will join the qualifying round for 2014 FIFA next year
    -Philippines will join the 2011 SEA Games 


    A lot of improvements needed to be done, especially support from our government. All in all, I can say that AZKALS brought a new fever in our country and to all your present and future achievements, I salute you guys!


    Mabuhay ang Pilipinas!

    Truth

    The truth will set you free.

    For the past days, I know that God is telling me to be truthful and faithful. I must embrace the truth, and that truth is no other than the Word of God. It hit me when I realize when most of us don't read the Bible or hear and don't apply it because we tend to move away and we know deep in our hearts God's message will surely be against our lifestyle. We want to do things our way. Sometimes.

    Even so, God's message is timeless and relevant to every people. His word is sharper than a double-edged sword (sharper than a light saber!). When things don't go our way and everything is falling out, I hate to say it but that's the time when we always come to God, making Him our last hope and chance to save us from the consequences of our mistakes. But it doesn't have to be like this. 

    Let me tell you this truth: God loves us even before we were born, even before we commit our sins and even before our rebellion against Him. But that love is so unconditional and nothing can ever compare to it. 

    His love heals our diseases.
    His love fulfills our every need.
    His love is everything.

    Read His word and know the truth for yourself.

    Christianity starts with and is sustained by how much God loves you; not how much you love Him! -Judah Smith


    Here's a song to make my message clear to you.

    Campus Visit - BNHS

    First stop: Balibago National Highschool


    This was my first time visiting a public highschool here in our area. Thanks to LIFEJAM and our connections to the school, to Teacher Wena, Mrs. Pascua and our very active brother in faith Christian, we got to visit the school twice. The team planned to invite students at our service and this is our first stop, BNHS. It was a great experience, but most of it were unexpected. God really knows how to surprise us and we should be always ready to put on our gears and get in the battle. Aye, Sir!



    Anyway, the students were responsive and thanks to the advisers, they gave us 5 minutes of their time to invite.
    We made small stickers for them to be reminded of the event. Within a short span of time, we managed to get it done. Thanks to all our friends who supported and came along. 

    We plan, but God makes the way. Stay faithful. Even if things don't go as planned, know that God is the director and our job is to play our roles well and always give our best shot. He works behind the scenes. 

    There's no fun knowing it all. Pray, be faithful and watch Him work.

    Original Pinoy Christian Music

    I wasn't able to blog about this last month and I'm posting this now. I was privileged to be a part of Krystal Box Live at the Music Museum. Ms.Maan asked me to be part of the production team wherein we will be in charge of multimedia presentations during the event and I said yes. The venue was so right to introduce local artists that makes original songs. I've been longing for this kind of event because I know Filipinos are talented when it comes to music and why not make music for our Lord. I've been a fan of CCM and I know just like what Paolo Valenciano said, "We can make this work." Here's some highlight of the event. (I don't own these photos.)


    Ogie Cayabyab singing his single Hellsong.
    '
    This is Andy Calope from Cebu.
     
    If you want some party rock music, here's TINY CACTUS.

    Kung inspired ka ng Eheads, sila pastor ang kasama mo dyan.
    Below: Soothing music of Yes, Yes , Yesu
    Powerful vocals of Indios


    We got some treat for Paolo of Salamin! He was surprised. Haha
    If you want some growl and hardcore rock music, FUZION band is for you.




    It ended with praise and worship songs from Overflow Band.


    That was it! Amazing. Bilib ako sa galing ng Pinoy. Thank you Krystal Box!


    Event highlights!

    The Way of the Master - But If You Say So

    This is great. I got a title for my blog this whole November. I will just share some of my insights as I read and meditate on the way Jesus do stuff during His time and how relevant it is today.

    Yesterday, I was able to read Luke 5 from verse 1 to 11. The heading was, The First Disciples. It got me instantly because nowadays churches have been struggling to be discipled and get disciples. This made me wonder how Jesus did this without attending conferences and apply some 10 things "to-do". So here's the plot, Jesus was speaking in public on the shore. He went on a beach to preach! After His preaching, He told to Simon to go out and let down your net to catch some fish . Simon replied that they've been fishing the whole day and didn't catch a thing. Read Simon's next words, BUT IF YOU SAY SO, I'll let down the nets again. To cut the story short, their boats were not enough and the net almost broke to get all the fish. That's obedience!

    Simon knew the fact that there's nothing to catch but Jesus instructed him to do it again. He just obeyed. Often times, we are blinded by reality. But we are not called to live like that, we are called to LIVE by FAITH and not by sight. Yes, it is true that we must consider facts but that can't be fully applied when it comes to spirituality and obedience. God loves crazy stuff. He wants to do things that will blow your mind and leave you speechless. And that time, Simon was speechless and felt unworthy that Jesus spends time with them. I can relate to Peter. Who are we that He, Jesus wants to spend time with filthy sinners like us? His grace is evident in this story.

    So here's the catch, when you obey good things happen. It's like obeying our parents and teachers. When they say something that you must do, you must DO IT. No holding back, even if you don't feel like doing it. The same way when God wants us to do something. My prayer is that we can tell God what's really happening in our lives and be willing to obey. This is me, this is what's happening BUT IF YOU SAY SO, I will obey you.

    I don't know what God is saying to you. These are some areas where we can apply obedience.
    - obeying our parents
    - doing school works
    - attending church services and gathering
    - forgive those who hurt you
    - helping the poor
    - be active in ministry
    - share the Good News

    Remember: Obedience is better than Sacrifice. Just do it.

    Watch out for more! Faith-Hope-Love.

    Coffee Bean


    I would like to thank Steve Murell and David Bonifacio for introducing me to my so-called workstation to get done with our thesis, Coffee Bean. Our thesis group always find it difficult to search for a place where we can be productive to finish our tasks. We tried Seattle's Best, Starbucks and Gloria Jeans but none of them was successful in giving us a good workplace. It was during the Barangay Elections last October 25 we got the chance to spend and try this place. 


    Coffee Bean. I love their Ice-Blended fraps. Got my Swirl Card and this gave us free and unlimited wi-fi that we can use for the whole day. I forgot to say that we're working here in Ayala and this place gave us 'momentum' as Ryvin call it, to be productive. 

    Few days remaining till our submission and excited to have our demo again on Saturday with our adviser. Now back to work!

    Can't wait to apply for graduation.
    Thankful.

    The Social Network

    During my break yesterday, I was able to watch "The Social Network". The story and the man behind Facebook. It surprised me that today as I type my blog, Facebook have more than 500 million active users. That took social networking into a whole new level. 


    Here's my thought about the movie. The plot started when Mark was dumped by her girlfriend and that made a way for him to do crazy stuff, in his mind he thought to compare a two Harvard student and see who's hotter and facemash.com came. The story was presented telling the past and the future. Past, meaning how the idea was created. Future, when the founders filed intellectual property cases to each other. This make me realize how important a team is. Mark didn't do Facebook alone, he needs a team. He may took the credit for having the ability to made the idea into a reality but he can't maintain and manage it on his own. I remembered how our professors told us to have Bibliography and good reference with APA format on our reports and documentations! Haha


    Let me get to the point. This may summarize what the movie is all about.  Ideas by themselves are worthless. It's what you do with them that matters. -Francis Kong


    I want to buy a hoodie. Harvard, Stanford or Yale will do. Inform me if you know where to buy.

    Why Men HATE Going to Church?

    48 million women attend church every week while only 35 million men do. That’s a gender imbalance of 13 million people, and a reason why churches need to become man-friendly–according to David Murrow, author of Why Men Hate Going To Church.


    “[Murrow] concluded that today’s church culture favors, even expects, participation in intimate, nurturing behavior such as singing, hand-holding, sitting in circles and sharing feelings. Many men feel uncomfortable in such an environment and choose not to go.” (Washington Post)




    Just want to post this thought. Church today needs more MEN to stand up and be the leader and head God designed them to be.  Honestly, it saddens me to see men outnumbered by women when it comes to spirituality and leadership. It is true that God designed men to be initiators and not mere followers. On the other hand, women are emotional people and can be easily touched by church worship experience. Men by the way, wants to be challenged, but at some point they don't want their pride to be down. Men can be confident at the same time being humble with God's grace, I am praying and hoping that more men must learn how to be a MAN. 


    Sometimes the atmosphere in church were designed and obviously made by women. With all those flowers and bright colors surrounding the hall, it's too feminine for me. I am not against decorating. I would like to point out that if we want men to be more active, the men inside the church must take the initiative to start something that is engaging and challenging. Also, there's a need for men preachers today. Again, I am not against the 'pastoras'. I am saying that there is really a big difference when a word came from the mouth of a man. It is powerful and gives you assurance that whats being said is serious and doable. MANHOOD is the key here people.



    Men needs to be reminded of their original design and purpose.
    Church needs to train and equip men.

    Real men are those who have faith, integrity and excellence.

    JIL 32nd Anniversary





    Last Friday, our church celebrated 32 years of God's faithfulness at Luneta Grandstand. Yes! It's the place where the hostage taking took place. Something happened that almost hindered me from going pero tuloy pa rin. I don't want to miss this! And here are some highlights of the event.

    - surprised that we got free transportation, and it's a BUS!!!
    - the aircon broke when we were in Sucat. Epic Fail! haha
    - cracked some jokes during the travel time
