Dare to Move

Dare to Move

And there, we had planned a youth camp already.

We had already submitted a letter of request to Ma'am De Vera. And now, we're now just waiting for her confirmation. I hope she will be signing our letter so that, the number of YFCs in our school will be greater. And so that, many students who will be participating this youth camp will be inspired & will be ready to serve God.

Worship

Yehey! I think our daily worship is far getting better & stronger as days pass by. Last Thursday, I can't believe it, when we were waiting for the other 4th yrs who will join the worship, in just a glimpse of my eyes, a number of first years & second years appeared on my front.(Wahaha!) I don't know how did they know & how did they have interest with this worship(because many students, in my opinion, had lost their interest with some matters like this), but all I had in my mind, that time, is that God is the one who invited them.

Weeeeh! And there, we worship God, singing & praising him with all our hearts & souls.

Adonai! =]

What a Week

Phew! I had been very annoyed this past few days. Last Monday, as fas as I can remember, we are having our recitation on our English class when ma'am May suddenly went near me & asked me to give direct & indirect speech wherein the one to be the speaker should be Kathryn. Waaaah!! Suddenly, I felt that all the heat in my body goes up to my head, then my classmates told me that my face is very red. Woooh! I felt so shy about it, especially to Kathryn. (T_T) And there, the whole day, I have no peace of mind. I kept on thinking & thinking what had happened earlier (huhu).

Waaah! Last Friday, we had our continuation of the intrams. I can't believe it! I was able to play 3 games in 2 hours. Woooh! But I was so tired running there, and there to look if it's my turn to play. I played basketball, volleyball & table tennis. Waaah! But the bad news is, we lost in table tennis, Kodie & Froi are better than me & Lance. And also, in basketball & volleyball, our team had lost.

.Death Ampetamine.

Youth is said to be the hope of the nation. But how can they be such if Youths today are addicted to drugs? Will they be the future role models of the future youths of our nation?

.I was just inspired with the video we watched last Provincial Youth Conference. It's all about the youths of our nations.

And because of that, i searched the net for a song which is related to drugs & I suddenly found this one!

DEATH AMPETAMINE

Life spent with lips on glass
Another hit, just one more blast
How long can you make it last?
Hit the pipe and vaporize
Feel the rush, so energized
Your longs being to crystallize
Try to stem the tide
From another five day ride
Don't you know your dead inside?
The world spins out of control
All amped up, nowhere to go
A glass house is all you know

Poison cloud hangs in the air
Breathe it deep, your only care
It's a nightmare, not a dream
Deathamphetamine!

Spun and sleep deprived
The calendar burns before your eyes
Another hit, for now revived
So many slepless nights
Only whet your appetite
Strike a match, the torch ignites
See the shards start cracking back
Watch them turn your world to black
While waiting for the heart attack
All your dreams are dead and gone
I tell you now, it won't be long
Before death ends this marathon

Withered and sucked up
You're wasting away
Eyes sunken deep in your skull
You care not about yourself
Nor any other
Only if the pipe is full
Lick your lips
As you hover around the glass
Anxiously awaiting your turn
Depressed and paranoid
It's all gone to hell
Inhale as your world burns

Lost everything you own
Now waiting by the telephone
For the dope man to come home
All your friends and family
Are sickened by your need for speed
Only driven to exceed
So many years, so little time
For you to halt your life's decline
You've got to read the signs
Everything has come unwound
You've got to turn this shit around
Before you're six feet underground

Poison cloud hangs in the air
Breathe it deep, your only care
It's a nightmare, not a dream
Deathamphetamine!

My Rection about the poem by Sir Walter Raleigh

The Nymph is trying to tell the shepherd that love isn't just passionate words and blind promises.

Love is to be taken easy, but to love someone is to give everything you have.

"To go live with thee and be thy love.." forever..

My Reaction about the Poem by Christopher Marlowe

He's saying that love is not as easy as people might think; that every single promise has to be backed up by action. If you don't mean what you say, but only wanted to win someone's love by saying it, then eventually people will discover the truth and love can turn to death or hate.

Real Generosity - Bro. Bo Sanchez (I was inspired! =] )

One person asked me, “But Bo, I’ve been giving and giving and giving all my life—but I haven’t been receiving my rewards!”

Perhaps because it may not be generosity at all.

You see, there are two types of giving that happens in the world.

1. When we give because we love

2. When we give because we want to be loved

Look. There’s nothing wrong if you want to be loved. It’s your most basic need. But friends, never use generosity as a way of getting love. That’s toxic. You call that co-dependent love and it’s lethal. Pleasing people so that they will love you is slow suicide.

If your “Love Tank” is empty, you need to do two things. First, ask God to love you. And second, love yourself. Unless you learn to be generous to yourself, your generosity will not be real.

My friend Mila (not her real name) was such a woman. She always gave gifts to her friends. Food. Clothes. Flowers. Sometimes, expensive stuff like cellphones and Ipods. People would tell her, “Oh, you’re so generous.” But deep within, I know Mila is one of the most miserable people on earth. She’s constantly depressed. Because she has no true friends. Her friends are there simply because she gives them stuff. People abuse her constantly, asking things from her.

Mila isn’t receiving the rewards of her generosity because she’s not really generous. She is needy.

When you give out of need, you will become even more needy. But if you give out of love, you will receive more love.

Remember the bowl with grey stones? Mila gives away her white stones—creating space in her heart. But because she’s giving out of need and fear and not out of love, misery and bitterness fill up that space she created.

I repeat:

Real generosity is giving out of love, which fills our lives with more love.

And let me share with you the biggest reward of generosity.
