LSS much on those retreat songs. :>

I have here 2 songs I've learned during our retreat last September 26-28 in Batulao, Batangas. These was taught by Fr. Chris. More post regarding the retreat. SOON. :P Song 1: Jesus is a happy name. Jesus is always the same. Jesus is a happy name. You can smile when you talk about, Jesus. Song 2: I'm inward, outward Happy all the time (2x) When Jesus came to me and washed away my sins I'm inward, outward Happy all the time. I'm inward, outward, upward, downward Happy all the time (2x) When Jesus came to me and washed away my sins I'm inward, outward, upward, downward Happy all the time I'm inward, outward, upward, downward, rightward, leftward Happy all the time (2x) When Jesus came to me and washed away my sins I'm inward, outward, upward, downward, rightward, leftward Happy all the time I'm inward, outward, upward, downward, rightward, leftward, forward, backward Happy all the time (2x) When Jesus came to me and washed away my sins I'm inward, outward, upward, downward, rightward, leftward, forward, backward Happy all the time

Tiring yet a Magical Weekend. :) part ii

SEPTEMBER 21, 2008 YFC sector conference '08. Once again, we went to Manila for the sectorcon. It was held at CSB Theatre. I woke up at around 7:30 am. And then left home with Kuya and went to Gudalupe to meet Feb, Fem, Roselle, Joshua, and Maemae. So, we left Guadalupe at around 9:15 and went to CSB already. MRT and LRT again. Hahaha. I should get used to it anyway. :) When we reached CSB, we registered. When we entered the theatre, the mass had started. We had the mass, then a great worship, then followed by the performances of the other clusters and the campus base and the siga. In the worship, the prayer leader let us watch some scenes in the Passion of Christ. Those scenes made me cry. How Jesus suffer and die for the cross just for us to be saved from our deadly sins. That worship enlightened me that Jesus suffered. Jesus died for me. I felt an 'ouch' in my heart seeing those scenes that the Roman soldiers doing to Jesus. The prayer leader made us realize that Jesus loves us. God loves us. After 4 performances of the dance, band, and acapella, we had our lunch. BLaaah. Then again, it started 1:20 pm. Our representative performed 9th. They performed the song Emily by Paraluman and an original composition by Mart. Here were c3's representative. :> philip- drums; jek-lead guitar; jude-bass; martin-guitar and vocals; mayrille-vocals. :) They were so great! Seriously! :> After all performances were made, Kuya Ian had his talk about our theme, "WITNESS". I'll share to you some of the things he imparted to us. Addressing to us, yfc members: "We all stand up as an evidence. Last last year, we were BLEST. Last year, we were told to FOCUS. And now, we are all called to be an EVIDENCE of God's love. You are lucky to belong in this 10% of the population who stand up as an evidence. Like the homily of Fr. (------) a while ago, 'plastic' people exist. Not everyone can be in their best. Because of this, they tend to hide their real self. Yung iba sa inyo diyan, kapag nasa yfc event tayo, nagsasabi tayo ng i love you's sa mga tito at tita at sa mga magulang natin. Pero kapag wala ng yfc event, wala na ring i love you's. Diba pagiging plastic yun? Here are tips to have a fulfilled person: · Be faithful. · Be a servant to others. · Be prayerful. · Being right to the right place at the right time. · Being equipped. Jesus is trying to tell us, 'I will be with you and empower you'. …” Some parts Kuya Ian shared to us. He even cracked jokes because at that time, I can feel that everyone is tired already but still listening. :) After the talk, we had our final worship. But in this final worship, I felt Jesus' presence on me and started a real worship. Though we had our daily worship in our school, yfc worships are still the best. Singing, praising, raising hands, clapping for Jesus. Everyone in the place was worshipping. Before the event end, awards were given to the best band, dance, and accapela. In the acapella, c5 won the 1st place. Sorry, I forgot the 2nd and the 3rd place. :) In the dance, the 1st place was the Adamson University. The second place was Makati Med. I forgot the third place. :D And in the band, the 1st place was the band from c5. Second place was from the siga. And the third place was our cluster!! :D We were happy and thankful to get a place even if it's 3rd place. They, we deserved it. They were so great! All of them! :D:> The magical event ended 5:30 pm. Supposedly, Maemae and I would leave at 3:00. Good thing, we were lazy. Haha. And we've witnessed how our cluster won. :)) We said our goodbye's and all. And once again, rode LRT with Kuya poyi, Maemae, Ate blessy, Mayrille, Ate Dianne, and Bunda. :> Here are some pictures. :) And btw, I am not included in one of these pictures. :))

cool animation. :)

Mayrille. :) They, We won! :D:>

After this sectorcon, my homeworks and quizzes were already in line at home. :))

Thank God I've finished them all! :>

SEPTEMBER 20 and 21, 2008.

PART I. September 20, 2008 :) (Note: This post contains exaggeration and should not think of it that way. Gets? Hahaha.) These dates were marked in my calendar. Thinking that this weekend would be a stressful one. But not expecting that it would be FUN. Saturday is supposedly a ‘long sleep day’ for me. Haha. I haven’t done it for ages. Hahaha. I informed Alec that we will be going to DLSU an hour before we leave. Haha. I was with Maemae, Alec and my brother. We left CSR at exactly 10:05am. We commuted. :> T’was my second time to ride LRT. :)) It was fun. :D We walked and walked and walked and walked. Hell, the Admission’s Office of La Salle was like a road to forever. Hahaha. Kidding. But, yeah. It was like 1 km from Vito Cruz Station. Haha. After DLSU, we went to UST. I accompanied Maemae and Alec to pass their forms and my brother to buy some stuffs. Blah, blah, blah. I thought we would not reach 12:00, but then, we did. :D We walked and walked and walked and walked. :)) After roaming Manila, Mae, Alec and I went straight to Glorietta while kuya went home. :> We were not contented with the long walk at Manila. We walked and walked and walked from Glorietta to Greenbelt to eat in a restaurant that was supposed to have low prices abut yummy foods. Uhhh, Alec? Haha. :P So, we just ate at Tokyo Tokyo. Hahaha. Blahhh. And then after eating, we had discussed a few weird things about random things. Hahaha. We talked/debated on the existence of other Solar system, on the age of the dinosaurs, does God have parents?, and more. It was weird. Really. And then, I found out that we’re raising our voices already and having a little debate on those topics. Hahaha. After, eating and talking and debating, I met up with Erin and Lora and said goodbyes to Maemae and Alec. So, it was project making time naman. We went at Lora’s place and started doing our Math project. Blah, blah, blah. Walked back to Glorietta, said goodbyes to Lora and Erin and walked alone going to SM. Hahaha. Take note: WALKED. By this time, I could not feel my feet anymore. I actually feel the pain. Haha. I was not contented. My mom and I had our grocery. By this time, I was already suffering. Haha. By 8:30, I was home already. Finally. I partially did my Physics homework that night. :> Finally, closed my eyes 11:30 pm. ;) **no pictures. :D **PART II. Soon. :) ♥daisy

A Korean crying for the Philippines

This entry was written by Jaeyoun Kim, a Korean who studied here in the Philippines. He probably wrote this essay for us to see what really is the problem in our country.

My Short Essay about the Philippines

This is my 25th post as a blogger. Instead of having of blogging about myself on how it feels, let me republish this essay written by one Korean student here in Philippines in 2003. This piece is an eye opener for Filipinos. The article sites reasons why it seems difficult for our country to rise from the mire of poverty and is now behind among the SouthEast Asian countries. Here it is. Filipinos always complain about the corruption in the Philippines. Do you really think the corruption is the problem of the Philippines? I do not think so. I strongly believe that the problem is the lack of love for the Philippines.

What made me sad in the prison were the prisoners who do not have any love for their country. They go to mass and work for Church. They pray everyday. However, they do not love the Philippines. I talked to two prisoners at the maximum security compound, and both of them said that they would leave the Philippines right after they are released from the prison.

They said that they would start a new life in other countries and never come back to the Philippines.

Many Koreans have a great love for Korea so that we were able to share our wealth with our neighborhood. The owners of factory and company were distributed their profit to their employees fairly so that employees could buy what they needed and saved money for the future and their children. When I was in Korea, I had a very strong faith and wanted to be a priest. However, when I cameto the Philippines, I completely lost my faith. I was very confused when I saw many unbelievable situations in the Philippines. Street kids always make me sad, and I see them everyday. The Philippines is the only Catholic country in Asia, but there are too many poor people here. People go to church every Sunday to pray, but nothing has been changed. My parents came to the Philippines last week and saw this situation. They told me that Korea was much poorer than the present Philippines when they were young. They are so sorry that there so many beggars and street kids. When we went to Pasangjan, I forced my parents to take a boat because it would fun. However, they were not happy after taking a boat. They said that they would not take the boat again because they were sympathized the boat men, for the boat men were very poor and had a small frame. Most of people just took a boat and enjoyed it. But my parents did not enjoy it because of love for them. My mother who has been working for Catholic Church since I was very young told me that if we just go to mass without changing ourselves, we are not Catholic indeed. Faith should come with action. She added that I have to love Filipinos and do good things for them because all of us are same and have received a great love from God. I want Filipinos to love their neighborhood and country as much as they love God so that the Philippines will be well off. I am sure that love is the keyword which Filipinos should remember. We cannot change the sinful structure at once. It should start from person. Love must start in everybody in a small scale and have to grow. A lot of things happen if we open up to love. Let's put away our prejudices and look at our worries with our new eyes. I discover that every person is worthy to be loved. Trust in love, because it makes changes possible. Love changes you and me. It changes people, contexts and relationships. It changes the world. Please love your neighborhood and country. Jesus Christ said that whatever we do to others we do to Him. In the Philippines, there is God who are abused and abandoned. There is God who is crying for love. If you have a child, teach them how to love the Philippines. Teach them why they have to love their neighborhood and country. You already know that God also will be very happy if you love others. That's all I really want to ask you Filipinos. After reading the essay, my grandfather seconded his/her curiousity and ask me, is the Philippines worth crying for? Who will shed tears for our motherland? Who will lend a hand to lift her spirit, to hold the lonely Flag that symbolizes her name? After reading this essay, let's hope we all learn to love and support our country, our province and most especially our foundation. May God bless this beautiful country. May we be enlightened to do more for our country and not just thinking about ourselves all the time.

Poverty is indeed the major problem in our country today. Maybe lack of love for our country is really the problem. He is right in what he says. We go to Church every Sunday yet nothing's happening because we do not focus. Seeing children in the streets is really depressing. He impart to us suggestions that we must do to gain love for our country. What I do not like in his essay is that he is comparing his country to ours. He is comparing the people in his country to the people in the Philippines. He said, "I talked to two prisoners... and both of them said that they would leave the Philippines right after they are released from the prison. They said that they would start a new life in other countries and never come back to the Philippines. Many Koreans have a great love for Korea so that we were able to share our wealth with our neighborhood." If Korea have great love fof their country, how come they're all over the Philippines? Yes, they study English here. But how come they're like 'occupying' our country already. They can be seen anywhere-- streets in Makati, in Baguio, and even in our subdivision that is exclusively for the families and relatives of those who became part and is part of the navy, army, marines, and the like. They even build their restaurants here.

Maybe Jaeyoun Kim is not like the other Koreans. I think he is just concern for our country. He's right (in a way) in his essay. We must love our country, and the rest will follow.

If a Korean like Jaeyoun Kim cares for our country, why can't we?

Greatest Escape :D

Boys Like Girls finally came in Manila. After our Youth Congress in UP Diliman, I rushed to glorietta to watch their 'concert'. I was with Bufi. I thank Alec so so so much, I've got the opportunity to see them in like a meter away and Martin's pick touched my foot. But it fell so I was not able to get it. :( That boy got it! Grrrr. That boy even got his towel. Maybe he has hidden desire with him. Hahaha. Kidding. We went in glorietta in our school uniform, no time to change. And we were like jumping in a chair. Haha. I was a bit disappointed and sad because my friend gave the meet-and-greet ticket to Bufi. I am really disappointed and sad. I will never ever get the chance to meet them personally. Alec and I planned that event like a week ago and then I wasn't able to meet them and greet them and take a photo with them. It was like disappointing. NOT LIKE. IT IS REALLY DISAPPOINTING. Well, I can't do anything. It's done. I'm just aceepting that at least the vocalist's pick touched my foot. Hahaha. Arghhh. I can't take away the feeling I am feeling right now. Hahaha. Got it? Anyway. I wish and hope that BOYSLIKEGIRLS could read this and go back here just for me. :P Kidding. Hahaha. Malay natin. Hahaha. I remember, the first time I heard their song, Great Escape, it got into my mind easily and started singing it again and again and again. :) The opportunity is like inches away for me, and I let it go. Opportunity nga naman. Mabilis mawala. :) Never let go for opportunities. Ga'no kalaki or kaliit man n'yan. :) I know, this is shallow. Haha. Try to understand me. Okay. :P:P Here are some of their pictures:

Love them . :)

Alexandra turns 15 Ü

As the title says, Alexandra Mae H. Espinosa turns 15 last September 5. I went to MOA with Maemae, Alec and Xandz. We did ice skating and ate in Haagen-Dazs. It was my first time to do ice skating, by the way. And also Alec. As expected, we fell.. Hahaha. I think we had our pictures anywhere in that skating rink.

              models. :P                               Alec, Me, Xandz, Maemae                                   ready to fall! :P

               weehee. i looove them. :)                                    we're happy. :P

After almost 2 hours of skating, we ate dinner in the food court. Haha. And had our dessert at Haagen-Dazs. We are doubting if we will still eat there or not, will we consume all our orders and all. Good thing, we continued our plan. Haha. It was heaven. It tastes gooooood. Haha.

That day is really really fun. After wearing heels at school. After receicing our report cards, we still had "rewards." Haha. Though we're only four, Wana, Frankie and Marion can't come, we enjoyed our day. :)

"Kahit saan, basta kasama ko kayo."

Best line of Xandra. Haha.

September 5. Jap's, Bubut's , Jessa's, and Xandra's special day. :)

Could it be possible to love the people I hate?

Awkward. Yesterday was an awkward day. This will remain as a secret. Haha. Stop reading. Hahaha. :P This is nothing. OKay. :) Okay. I'm starting to hate a person. Actually, there are two people I'm starting to hate. The first person, he/she doesn't care on the ideas of others. Yes, he/she is friendly but there are instances where she acts like he/she knows everything and he/she doesn't even ask the opinion of others if it's okay for them. It just irritates me when a person thinks he/she thinks/feel that he/she is always right. That he/she knows that he/she is accepted by everyone thus, making his/her own choice without thinking that there are still ideas from other people. The second person I'm starting to hate is somehow close to me. He/she is very selfish. I sound like a bad person, now but seriously, he/she is selfish. He/she asks for help and I help her. He/she is also a moody person. I really can't understand him/her. When I do things that irritates him/her, that person would like call my attention and sometimes, he/she does it in public. I feel like he/she is my parent that calls my attention everytime I did something not good for him/her. My parents do not even watch my every move and seldom calls my attention. There was even an instance when he/she ask a favor from me and he/she got angry at me because of a simple forgivable mistake. I have my own freedom. It just irritates me when someone watch every move I make. I feel like I'm being discriminated and underestimated. Sorry for plenty of his/her words. :)) Hahaha. Want to know if it's a his or a her? comment me. :P It's from the bible saying, "Learn to love your enemies." They're not my enemies, but I'm starting to hate them. I am trying to see the other side of their attitudes. I am trying to know them more. I am trying to understand them more. Could it be possible to love the people I hate? Maybe yes, maybe no. ♥daisy:)
