Ride With Me


If you know me pretty well, you would know that I drive our family car. It is an Isuzu Crosswind. I call it Trusty. And if I invited you to go somewhere then that means you rode with Trusty na.

Last Friday afternoon, Me and my brother was supposed to watch UP's latern parade and I was looking forward to this event. It was a slow moving afternoon maybe because of the Christmas rush. From Sta. Rosa it was a heavy bumper-to-bumper situation in SLEX. I noticed and heard a weird screeching sound coming from the hood but never really checked. Then after more than 1 hour in SLEX, I drove the C5 road with speed. Then moved slowly again from Libis to the underpass to Katipunan when suddenly.. (The suspense) Something just cracked! It suddenly became hard to turn the steering wheel. I immediately pulled over and checked the hood. I hoped nothing happen but I already know that there is something wrong. Then there the thing that connects the fanbelt just snapped! Power steering oil pouring all over. Hence, We never made it to UP. What a crazy night.

Trusty is not yet repaired now since Isuzu doesnt have the parts needed to replace. It might be available next January 2010 pa! So hows Trusty now? He is like a normal vehicle. The only difference is that we cannot use the AC and has Pawis steering. Meaning its so hard to manuever. Thank God for Trusty and the adventure that I drove with him.

Adding New Faith Goals for 2012

The year 2011 is over and I think this is a year that passed so quickly. But why? It is really this fast when you are a member of the working society? Because it went by so fast I wasn't able to keep all the faith goals that I set for 2011. But again by faith I'd like to keep that list and add some more. :) +1. By Faith, I'd like to tithe more that the expected 10% of my earnings/salary every Sunday and learn to bless others. +2. By Faith, I would like to bond more often and mentor the boys (disciples) entrusted to me. +3. By Faith, I can read the whole Bible in a year. (time to get me a new Bible reading plan. :p) +4. By Faith, I will work out, exercise and get into other sports. (I pray for strength, Lord) +5. By Faith, I will memorize the name of the people I meet and successfully match them with their faces. Hahaha +6. By Faith, I will widen my vocabulary and improve my grammar. :( +7. By Faith, I will read more than 10 books in 2012. :) I Pray that God will help me r

It Is Not Always About Academics

In a recent exchange of text messages with my friend, I was brought to another part in my life when I was in my elementary level. I entered a christian school as a grade 2 student and didn't care much about academics. I guess that is natural for kids at that age. I remember the times that I started learning how to type properly and play games using stairs called "A B C." But one thing that I will never forget is the end of 2 nd grade. It is a tradition that awards will be given to academic achievers and be recognized at the end of a school year. I never felt so left out that afternoon when all my friends we being called since they have achieved high grades. I never knew what my grades were that school year and I bet it wasn't low but I felt that I was a dumb kid. I cried running towards my father when I told him that I was not included in the top 10. I think he said something like "try harder next year" ' coz it was instilled in me that I would do a lo
