Busy February Weekend

Feb 25 - Friday


Spent most of my time at church since we were in charge of the stage design and creative stuffs for the Thanksgiving anniversary. Had a great time with churchmates decorating and making the church as presentable as it should be. The altar,stage curtains, LCD projector, tarpaulin and wallpapers were done by all of us. Thumbs up guys! We all did a great job. Thankfully, there's Burger Machine to fill out our tummies. Sarap!


Feb 26 - Saturday


Finally, Mama bought Bert a new phone, the Samsung Galaxy Ace. I told him to buy it coz of its awesome features in an affordable price. Later that day, I went to Araneta Coliseum with Dong to watch Super Show 3. By 5PM, the dome was filled with fan girls. 3 hours of pure awesomeness. These guys are talented. Personally, I liked the solo performance of Yesung, Henry and Eunhyuk. I can barely here their voices because of the deafening screams of all the fan girls. It was really loud!!! Great experience. Got home by 1AM.


Feb 27 - Sunday


Woke up early for our church's 18th anniversary. It was special for everyone since the theme was all about acceptable offerings to God. What could be more acceptable than giving our very life and the best of us to Him. We did some prophetic gestures like walking and giving our offering to the altar that we made last week.  Everyone did a great job. I salute all the people who did their best behind the scenes. There's free lunch for everybody. It was a celebration of God's faithfulness. More fruitful years to come. 


Later that afternoon, me and some  TLW trainers went to Day by Day Christian Ministries to help them out with the TLW training. It's always great to share what I know to these young people and really teach them about what real love really is. Had a great time with my small group: Charlene, Vangie, Shin, Alvin, Joshua, Jao. Rashiel and James. We're rollin'!!!!


One of my busiest weekend so far. 
Feels great to be serve and help others. You better try it.

Gusto ko

Got free time today to compose and put some chords in it. So here it is.


Key of E


Maraming beses na akong nadapa
Maraming beses na mata ko'y lumuha
Di makakaila na kailangan Kita
Kaya ngayon ako'y Sayo na


Gusto kong makita ang yong nakikita
Gusto kong maisip ang yong naiisip
Gusto kong magbago para Sa'yo
Salamat sa pagmamahal Mo


Wala pang title...haha

No.


Haven't blog for a while. Been busy for quite some time. Anyway, just had my morning Bible reading and learned that as believers we must learn to say NO to temptation.


Luke 4.: 1-13 / The temptation of Jesus. 


Even Jesus, the Son of God was tempted and was not an exception for this. But He knew how to resist and say NO.


Here's some advice as I read the passage:


1. Be filled with the Holy Spirit. In verse 1, it was emphasized that Jesus was full of the Holy Spirit and later on went to the wilderness. One can't rely on one's self to overcome any temptation or testing in life. Learn to lean on the power of the Spirit that lives in all of us. 


2. Acknowledge the power of Scriptures. Jesus quoted some verses to the devil because He knew there is great power in it. He reminded himself about God's words and made Him stronger and bold to confront the enemy.


3. Learn to say NO. With the Holy Spirit and God's word, Jesus was able to say NO. He knew that if He gave in to temptation, He will commit sin against His Father in heaven. He thinks before he acts.




Being tempted is not a sin. But if you GAVE IN to that then it becomes a sin. Remember that God will not let us be tempted beyond what we can bare. His grace is sufficient.


Have a great week!

To Mama and Papa. Salamat sa lahat at kahit na alam nyong mahirap magpa-aral sa La Salle pinilit nyo pa din akong mapagtapos. Alam ko po lahat ng pagod and struggles nyo dahil di naman po talaga madaling magpa-aral sa isang sikat na University. Many time, I took for granted your hard work for me pero it does not mean I'm not grateful. Nagpapasalamat ako kay Lord kasi binigay nya kayo samin nila Bert and Bebe bilang magulang. Kung wala po kayo, wala din ako. Love you Pa and Ma. 


To Jesus. Thank you po sa lahat ng blesssing and sa maga tao na binigay nyo sa buhay ko. Salamat po sa inyong walang hanggang pag-ibig at habag na patuloy ko pong nararanasan sa kabila ng pagsuway ko po sa inyo. Wala na po akong masabi dahi alam kong alam nyo naman ang laman ng puso ko. Salamat po.


Excited to see what's in store for me in the future. My best days are ahead of me.
