TAON NG KILIG!!!

Ang taon na punong puno ng kilig.

ENERO,

Ang unang buwan ay sadyang nakapasaya. It is because of God’s faithfulness in my 3 decades of existence. As I look back, His promise and grace never failed for the past 30 years. He gave me a series of second life as I face in the bed of sickness during my childhood years. He became faithful to my wants and my plans. He has been my strength for the past years, and I thanked Him for being a good father, brother and friend to me.

This year, I’d celebrate it with my friends who played a big part to my life. My high school, college and some SFC friends. Isang gabi ng kainan, kwentuhan at tawanan.

PEBRERO

Ang isa sa mga bwan na lagi kong inaabangan. Oopps, hindi dahil its FEB-ibig month, it is more of my FEB-ibig month with the Lord! For the past years, requesting for a leave was a difficult one, and requesting for a long leave ay sadyang suntok sa buwan! But because of His grace, He gave me a work wherein I could have a long leave. It is indeed, He answered my prayers when our dear Chief Nurse sent a permission for my long break. 3 days off, 5 days of leave total of 8 beautiful days with the Lord, His people, and His creation. It is indeed a memorable one.

In just 8 days, I almost conquered some of the beautiful places, and people in the island of Mindanao. I conquered SocSarGen and Davao. These beautiful places were just a bonus of His blessings. His beautiful event was an indeed a majestic way to deliver His wonderful message.

Sobrang Saya!!!

MARSO

Ang pagibig ng Dyos ay patuloy na dumadaloy.

Sino ang nakakatanda sa isa sa mga entry ko last March about a surprise call from my school, which turned into a wonderful grace. As I reminisce, my promised to my parents during High school days was be able to be with me during recognition day.

During my high school days, I gave my all so that my parents will be proud of me. My father went to our recognition day with full of surprise that I will be awarded. Galing syang trabaho nun, tapos sabi ko lang “Pa, pinapapunta ka sa school, tara!”. Without any questions, he went with me and with his surprise he will go to stage with me to be awarded. At syempre, nainnggit ang nanay ko. Para daw magkaroon ako ng cellphone na may kamera kelangan ko daw syang paakyatin din sa stage.. hahaha.. iba ang inggit ni mader dear.. At dahil gusto ko ng kondisyon nya, I pursued it. And the rest is history.

And last March, I didn’t believe that I may be able to gave them an award that is beyond my expectations. Sabay ko silang napaakyat sa stage, at sa school kung saan ang isa sa mga pangarap kong paaralan, PLM.

ABRIL

Grasya ng pagYES!!!

Ang isang YES kay Lord, is equivalent of His wonderful plans and message. I conquered my fears to be a team leader in one of difficult retreat that I am thinking of, which is Princess Diaries. I was terribly hesitant to accept it. But because of my prayer warriors, I said Yes.

Princess Diaries, is one of a retreat of SFC tackling about how sisters, ladies, girls are the crown of all God’s creation. It is a retreat that full of emotions and how to handle those emotions. I prayed a lot for this, to be prepared enough emotionally, physically and spiritually.

MAYO

Ang mga pangarap.

For the past, I dreamed of a team building for my SFC family. And this year we had made it. Because I was part of CLP core team, I am one of the many to pushed that team building. And because of the undying love for the mission, our team approved and pushed it through. It is simple, and yet gave us an open mind and heart for the purpose of the mission.

On that same day, reunited with my beloved college friends ended my day with a blast. There presence was really enough for me, even we didn’t have a long convo. Seeing them was a good way to celebrate with and grateful as well.

HUNYO

Ang pagsasama!!!

Who would be happy if you will be reunited with those people who loved you since your childhood days? Ang aming munting paglalakbay at pagsasama-sama ng aking mga pinsan! Being with those people who just dreamt of having a good career, family, house. All of these were just our dream before, but now, we are already achieving it little by little (soon ung iba sa akin.. hahaha, claiming of God’s providence).

I and one of my cousin dreamt it before to travel together as family (exclusive muna sa  magpipinsan). And this year, the Lord granted it with His provisions. He gave us a good weather, good schedule and finances as well.

No words can really describe my happiness, plus the beautiful experience exploring the places of Romblon. Sobrang happy. One of the bucket lists unlocked.

HULYO

Ang Anunsyo!!!

Last April-May, I was deployed to PGH-OR for a 2 months of training. 2 months of training was a roller coaster of emotions. That intensive training tested my patience, and love. There was a time or should I say, there were many times of irritated moments. My patience tested me so much, and even about to fell some of tears during the operating room, because of the expectations that surrounds me. There were many times I would like to quit, and excited to go home or drink to our favorite tambayan DUNKIN DONUT. That experience helped me to be bolder and brave, but that experience helped me to exposed with difficult cases especially in neuro and pediatric cases. It is indeed a wonderful journey. Kung babalikan ko ang mga araw.. Gusto kong magstay at magextend to be trained well. Kahit umiyak ako after operation, okay lang.

And after that 2 months of exposure, case presentation, and requirements, we have made it with a good performance. We’ve made it! Masaya na kaming makapasa, bonus na lang ang pagkakakuha ng magandang grade..

AGOSTO

Ang pagbabalik-tanaw!!!

 6 months ago, I said YES to Him!!! A Yes that full of worries, and a roller coaster of emotions. But He made it with a smooth sailing journey. 6 months ago, I said Yes to be a team leader of our CLP. It is a full of spiritual, emotional and physical responsibility. But those 6 months from my YES, to planning, execution and celebration was a test of faith, patience and love. Yes, I was tested! There was a time that I became blinded from His message, and JOY was not around (nasabi ko ito sa last blog ko 😊 ). My patience was tested also from the people that surrounded me. My love for the mission was quite questioned.

But before that journey ended, I was mesmerized how the Lord turned my heart into a grateful and excited heart. Ika nga love wins. Na win ni Lord ang heart kung magulo.

And before the month ended, He nailed with it with beautiful message through the Regional Conference of SFC.

SETYEMPRE

Ang pinakamagandang regalo, Ang Pamilya

Last year, we celebrated our queen’s (mother) birthday at the queen city of the south, CEBU. Then, we have decided to celebrate our King’s birthday at TAgayTAY. I have been in this place for several times, but my parents were there first time. We went to different attractions of Tagaytay for a whole day tour, and enjoyed the breeze of the wind overnight.

Their joy is my joy. I’d love to spent travelling with them, touring on different sceneries of the Philippines. Another bucket list for me, celebrating my Father’s Day in a very special way.

OKTUBRE

Ang Misyon!

Ito ang buwan n punong puno ng pagsasakatuparan ng kanyang pangako.

As I have posted from my previous blog, the Lord guided me and be part of Bulacan Mission team plus a God’s witness of His love by saying I DO to all His plans. It is indeed a month of being a witness of God’s love to others.

To share and to inspire!

NOBYEMBRE
Ang pangako!

Ang buwan ng kasal ng aming kaibigan. Isang masayang Makita ang isang kumpletong pamilya na pinagdiriwang ang isang magandang okasyon. Many failures along the way but their love for each other remains.

Ang pangako na hindi napako para sa aking mahal n UNIT.

Matagal na nila akong inaawitan na magbonding kami ng kami kami lang.  Walang topic but endless stories of our lives. Nabigla, natuwa at nagalak. Ito ang mga emosyon na sabay sabay naming pinagsaluhan ng buong gabi hanggang sa magumaga. Seeing them like a child, enjoying the cooking moments at pagtatalo in between kung pano at ano ang dapat ilagay (okay! Sila na ang magaling magluto). Masayang matapos ang taon na para kaming magkakapatid kaso ako nga lang ang nanay ng mga magagandang dilag.

DISYEMBRE

Ang pagsilang!!!

Let’s start this month with full of joy. A joy together with my SFC family, celebrating faithfulness into our mission. A sorrow into our family, when our beloved uncle passed away and be with our creator. Full of hope, to love and be loved. And last with a full of God’s mercy and compassion as I contemplate from the homilies of Simbang Gabi!

It is indeed Christmas is a wonderful day of the year.

This year is a year that full of different stories, ups and downs, but His grace is the most wonderful thing to celebrate!! It is indeed a wonderful year!

Salamat sa taong punong puno ng kilig. May 2020 will be full of more kilig moments!
