JAS about me...

If you're lost    and nowhere to be found, Stop for a while    kneel on the ground. Lift up your head    and close your eyes, Feel His presence    coz He hears your cry. Open your heart,    let Him in Feel the comfort,    and let your tears Abide in Him    and you will feel complete Incomparable and immeasurable love you need,    for you He will give. -12.24.10-

She is thinking about that guy  Who was once a stranger  Who was once her co-worker  Who was just someone she never imagined she would fall for  She is missing that guy  Who holds her hand while she walks  Who tells corny jokes and yet she still laughs at it  Who cuddles and runs his thumb across her cheeks just before he bids good night  She is loving that one guy  Who makes her happy in all aspects  Who stands by her side even in her lowest times  Who serves as the sunlight in her gloomy days  She is holding onto that guy  Who loves her truly, madly, and deeply  Who keeps on believing to all that she could be  Who continuously makes her world topsy-turvy  No matter what the consequences might be  As long as the love is still burning  She will always be that same woman  Who will forever offer her love  To that one special guy  Who captured her heart from the very beginning  He ...

I. Coming together is a beginning Nov. 28, 2016. It all started on that day. 28 people attended the first day of our training. Everything is new. New faces. New set of people. New place. New job. The usual happened--introduction and everything. But, 28 did not remain as 28. Some people did not come in anymore. Others were dismissed. It happens, yes, but if you were a part of a family, you would care. II. Keeping together is a progress There are just things that are really beyond our control and we respect that. However, despite what happened, we tried our best to build stronger foundation to solidify our family. You know what is the good thing about having a family? It is the sense of belongingness. We do things together. We eat together. We give love and we share both our sad and happy moments. We tell each other our life stories. We celebrate life despite knowing that any time soon we will be deployed to different teams. We help each other in times of difficulty. We a...

"How far can you go?" Was the first thing I thought of while I was traversing the mountains. I was in total struggle when I had my first climb. There were so many challenges I had to face because of being unprepared. It was not an easy road that we took from Antipolo to Rizal. When we were riding the jeepney we hired to get us to Rizal, I was encouraged by my friend to sit on the topload of the jeepney. I was afraid because I thought it was dangerous so I immediately declined the offer. However, my friend insisted and convinced me that it was a good spot to view the sunrise since it was already 3AM that time. And so I did sit on the topload along with the others. I was so nervous that I could not relax while sitting especially when Kuya driver was trying to speed up.  My friend was trying to calm me down but he was laughing at me while he did. That made me somehow feel relaxed. Cos I myself could not help but laugh at that time. After a few minutes of s...

"Browsing old pictures gives a lot of feels. It helps you assess yourself and makes you think about how you are doing in life and what you have become so far. It takes you back to the difficulties and challenges you encountered/experienced and how you dealt with it head on. It makes you realize the things that really matter--loved ones, friends, your passion, etc. I know i missed a lot of things. I even took most of what i have for granted, i should admit. But despite everything, God has been so good to me. Never did i feel i was ignored and deserted. For that i am very, very grateful. I may have lost some in my life on the bumpy road i am on, i still cannot thank them enough for traveling with me even for a little while. I hope i was able to leave a footprint in their lives that whenever they look back, they will be able to say "hey, this person has a piece of my heart."

Been seating here for almost an hour Thinking what could I do to help you out But I could not think of any Other than loving you more dearly. Every day that passes by Despite not having you here at my side I still feel you holding my heart And for me that is more than enough. Years from now, we'll get old But, still, my hands are yours to hold I will lock you in my arms just like the old days Feel that very moment of happiness that cannot be replaced. I love you and that's all I know And through all the highs and all the lows No matter how strong the wind blows Remember, I will still stick with you  and will never let go. --nimsaj_acilegna    05.20.12--

 I. The teacher built a temple With loving and infinite care planning each arch with patience Laying each stone with prayer II. None saw her unceasing effort None knew her wondrous plan For the temple the teacher built Is unseen by the eyes of man III. Gone are the builders' temple Crumbled into dust Low lies the stately pillar Food for consuming rust IV. But the temple the teacher built Will last while the ages roll For the beutiful, unseen temple is the child's immortal soul.

Kurutin mo ang tulis na dulo At hubaran ang palibot nito Pero huwag mong balatan ng tuwiran ‘Yung tama lang para mayroon kang makagat Lasapin mo ang lahat ng nakalantad na laman Piho, may aagos na katas, agapan mo Kasi baka tumulo sa kamay mo Ang pinakamahusay nga’y dilaan mo na ito Sumige ka lang, kahit na puro katas Ang nguso mo’t baba – masarap naman At kapag nangalahati ka na hubaran mong Dahan-dahan ang natitira’t kagatin Mula sa itaas, mula sa tagiliran Sa pagkatas nito, kahit na pahalik ka’t pasipsip na Hindi maiiwasang may tutulo sa mga daliri mo Pero huwag mong bitiwan Huwag mong pakadiin Kasi hindi masarap ang lamog o ang malapirot na Ipitin mo sa mga labi ang basang buhok Sipsipin mong pahagod hanggang maubos ang katas Tapos hubaran mo na ng tuluyan Baliktarin mo’t kagatin mula sa ilalim Banayad, hanggang sa may malambot sa dila himurin hanggang buto. --way back our LIT CRIT days...

by: Wislawa Szymborska  Both are convinced that a sudden surge of emotion bound them together. Beautiful is such a certainty, but uncertainty is more beautiful. Because they didn't know each other earlier, they suppose that nothing was happening between them. What of the streets, stairways and corridors where they could have passed each other long ago? I'd like to ask them whether they remember-- perhaps in a revolving door ever being face to face? an "excuse me" in a crowd or a voice "wrong number" in the receiver. But I know their answer: no, they don't remember. They'd be greatly astonished to learn that for a long time chance had been playing with them. Not yet wholly ready to transform into fate for them it approached them,then backed off, stood in their way and, suppressing a giggle, jumped to the side. There were signs, signals: but what of it if they were illegible. Perhaps three years ago,or last Tuesday did...
