God is just beside me

In times of trial and defeat, you won’t often have a lot of friends that continue to stick around with you. You are lucky if there is someone among all of them who still stays in approachable company to you. Else, in worst cases, you will be left out from the crowd and may become totally isolated. To who would you turn to now?

Whether you like it or not, you may deny this fact but in reality, you can’t escape it that for a matter of fact; our last stand, our last refuge, our last shelter is the goodness of God. Our father who art in heaven and guides us day in and day out. He is the one who leads us through all odds and endeavors we come along. Sometimes we are up on the top and often, we tend to be dethroned and find ourselves all alone down in the cellar.

In catastrophic cases wherein you play the underdog, and find yourself below the others, we often come to blame a single person, and that is God; for misleading us to a misfortuned path. We come to ask why he did that to us and what could be possible solutions to get out of the deep hole. So am I asking myself, why we often have to undergo such disgraceful moments.

And after a couple of moments of reflecting on this topic, I come to the following realization and point of view which I’d like to share to you. Regardless whether it is your fault that your status in life is not that good, or even if it’s due to the account of someone else. Everything has a rational explanation why things go such way. And that explanation can be found up in the sky, or even beyond it, up to the endless cover of stars.

What I mean, in simple words is, that the reason for all our pain, the decision maker for all these events is God. He sets our path and guides us to fulfill his desired plans for each and everyone of us. Whether he gives us something nice or unpleasant at times, God wants us not to become invincible, but remain as real as possible. Thus making us both feel the beauty and the odds of life.

Don’t loose hope when doors are closing, don’t loose faith when your fate turns upside down. God wants you to be in such emotions, God wants us to be complete and remind us over and over, that we are not perfect and are still very vulnerable. Always remember that…

You did not come to this place by accident, you are exactly where I meant for you to be.

Insight on Love

What I feel..

random ramblings

Alone again, naturally.

One of my love told me, ¨Being in love, in a relationship, it..s just a different reality; not necessarily a better reality (compared to being alone), but just a different one.¨ I didn’t agree. I still don’t.

Another one told me, ¨You should only be with someone, if being in love with that person makes you happier than when you are alone.¨ Words I agreed more.

If I followed the words of the former, I would be easily satisfied. Because the expectations from a loving relationship would be not much different from a life alone.

Unfortunately, my vision of love is closer to the latter. Hence, I’m more demanding in love. I didn’t need someone to make me happy, being alone is satisfying enough for me. But falling in love made me happier; something I cannot control; His happiness became more important than mine. As long as we were the reason for each others’ happiness, love continues.

Love, drove me to satisfy the other. Naturally; passionately; unrelenting; without holding back; made his happiness more important than mine. His priorities higher than mine.

But somehow or rather, love eventually fails. Blameless, we move on with our own lives. In this sense, love becomes like just another part of reality that is no different from the reality of being alone.

But I wonder; How could an emotion so powerful, so compelling, be at the same time so fragile?

Promises we make in business, in school, contracts we sign; we are made to uphold them. Even though they are promises with not much emotions attached.

But promises made in love, with such a powerful emotion driving them on, they are often fragile promises; easily forgotten, disappearing as love dies.

As no one is more responsible than the other when love arises, no one is more to be blamed when it dies; it is what it is.

Instead of remaining bitter and assign blame to the other when love dies, it is better to hold on to the good things that happened between each other in the name of love, and continue to let oneself evolve; continue to let good things happen in the name of love.

What’s more, it’s the hurt and disappointments in life that teaches us the most

What’s hard in saying sorry?

I have posted a interesting topic on my Poetry / Emo Blog wherein you’ll find more about the hard stuff behind the simple word of sorry. Difficult as it appears to be, or as easy at it seams at first. After reading the post I hope that you’ll learn more about the difference of a forced way to say sorry and the sincere way of doing so.

Sorry isn’t that simple, forgiving ain’t be as simple too. Both are two different things that are equal in approach, when it comes to analysis and sincerity. Both need to come from the heart, and may not be simply forced to give over.

But, before, I’ll tell you the whole story, continue reading on Poetic Notes

God, stand me by.

Tomorrow, officially, the first day of classes will be starting for all the schools who have not yet started their classes, because of the rainfall yesterday. I was excited for school that time, without knowing that a bunch of people are after me, to get me knocked.

I might have raised a higher tone and a better reputation or personality on the world wide web via this website and several others that I’m contributing to or running by myself; but in real life, I’m the total opposite. This post should actually be a entry to Poetic Notes, but since I doubt that anyone would come to read it there on time, I decided to feature it here, on Pinoy Teens.

According to a friend of mine, namely Alica Kria Amoranto, a 3rd year Junior of The Philippine Nikkei Jin Kai. One of my former classmates and the big rival of mine has texted her, in a unpleasant manner (binastos) and told her that they (they are a lot) will get on me, once they see me in school.

Child Sex Slaves

I wrote this two years ago on my original blog… you can still find it there. I just wanted to share it with you guys.. Hope you appreciate! ^^,

I watched Oprah last night; they were discussing “sex slaves”. And it reminded me on how my dear Philippines is doing. As I thought that the Philippines was doing alright, considering the peso vs. dollar currency going up and all, she was mentioned as one of the countries where sex traffickers get their produce, she was one among Ecuador, Thailand and many others all over the world. Greatttt…

Girls; young and younger are the devil’s prey. Could you imagine a 5 year old baby being raped for profit? Yes, 5 years old. In a mini-hotel made of grass and hay in a field in the middle of God knows where, where they molest and abuse these young ones; they have curtains made of plastic bags, just so they can have a pinch of privacy while them devils enter their bodies and take away every inch of happiness that lingers in them. I happen to be very fond of children, so why treat them this way? What have they ever done to arouse those sex predators? Heck, what have they ever done to them? The children, from the ages of 16 and below, are being transported from city to city under a bus, in the carriage, yes there, where they keep extra luggage. In trucks, and places you couldn’t think a human would barely fit. Once, a baby was even caught being transported illegally INSIDE a piñata. A piñata for crying out loud! The sad part was, the trafficker caught was a pastor. Damn it, a pastor! How cruel, how inhumane! Who knows who the perverts are now? The line has been crossed. They are pretending to be a man of God now, who else are they pretending to be? The sentence for him was taking away his passport for 10 years. And some time in jail. I think that isn’t even enough. ”I think nothing is enough” as a once sex slave told Oprah, and I agree. Nothing is ever enough, for taking away someone’s dignity and ruining their lives.

I leave you with this thought, hoping that you’ll open your eyes to the truth and do something about it. I’ve done my part, now do yours. It may be opening other’s eyes to this truth, telling somebody with power, or anything! Just do something.
