Pwede magtanong, 'wag lang Math
You complete me.
I can’t live without you.
I want to be with you only on two occasions – now and forever.
Ayan na ang mga pamatay na linya.
Bago yan, sino muna ang magaling sa Math? Ako. Hindi. Kaya nga nag-nursing ako eh. Ikaw ba? Buti na lang di kailangan magaling sa Math para i-analyze ang mga sumusunod na equation:
1.) Me + You = Happiness
Akala natin isang tao ang magpapasaya sa’tin, na kapag may the one tayo ay happily ever after na. Pag nawalasiya, hindi natin kayang maging masaya.
2.) Me + You = Me
Medyo kamukha nung no. 1 pero malaki ang pinagkaiba. Eto daw yung kapag may the one ka, dun ka lang magiging ikaw. Yung identity mo nakadepende sa isang relationship. Pag nawala siya, wala ka na din. Hindi ka tao. Alien? Ewan. Basta wala sa sarili.
3.) Me + You = Us
Pag sinubstitute, ang ibig sabihin ½ + ½ = 1. Ibig sabihin hindi tayo buo pag wala siya. Kaya naman never ending ang search ng lolo at lola mo para sa the one na magiging bitter better half niya.
Kapag chineck ni titser, lalagyan niya ng tatlong malalaking EKIS gamit ang pulang Pentel pen.

True Love, False Love
Paano malalaman kung true
love na ang nararamdaman mo?
Kung may true love, meron bang false love?
Parang quiz lang, ganun?
Nagsulputan na naman ang mga salitang love, love life, date,
ligaw, bulaklak, chocolates, echetera echetera. Ultimo sa twi-err (twitter),
pagpatak ng unang araw ng Pebrero, nagtrend ang 1st of February sa Pilipinas. February 1. So huwat?!
Pansin ko lang, nagpalpitate at aligaga na naman ang mga
miyembro ng SAM or Singles Awareness Month. Pebrero na naman... Ka-holding
hands mo pa rin ang iyong sarili. Ang iyong true love... ay wala pa din.
Capital HAY.
Pero wag ka, pati mga in a relationship ay nagmumuni-muni
rin habang hawak ang palad ng kasalukuyang iniibig. True love ba ito? Siya na
ba? Pano yung ex mo bago siya? False love ba yun?
Ano ba kasi yang true love na ‘yan? Nakakain ba ‘yan?
Para makatulong sa’ting pagkukuro, nagtanong-tanong ako kung
ano para sa kanila ang true love. Ito po ang ilan sa aking nakalap:
“Ang true love ay buwis-buhay. Handa kang magsakripisyo para sa mahal
mo.”
-Tambay sa kanto
“True love ‘pag tangap mo siya kung ano o sino pa man siya.”
-Security guard
“True love kapag lagi siyang nasa isip mo. Tingin mo kulang ang buhay
pag wala siya.”
-Ginang na maybahay
Ang daming definition. May pare-pareho, may nakakaloka. Pero
ang lahat ng napagtanungan ko, binalik sa’kin ang tanong: Ikaw, paano mo
malalaman kung true love na yun? Hmm. Ang hirap pala sagutin.
Ang alam ko, ang pag-ibig ay katulad ng pera. Kasi mahal. Haha, joke. Kasi ‘pag alam mo kung ano ang tunay, malalaman
mo din kung ano ang peke. Anything that falls below the standard of a
genuine is counterfeit.
Dalawang bagay:
Alamin ang katangian
ng tunay. Naglabas ng mga poster ang Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas upang
ipagbigay-alam sa mga mamamayan ang katangian ng salapi ng Republika ng Pilipinas.
Kung ang Diyos ang lumikha ng pag-ibig, kanino tayo magtatanong kung ano Kanyang
pamantayan?
“This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for
us.”
– 1 John 3:16
Ang ginawang sakripisyo ni Hesus sa krus para sa ating lahat
ay Siya mismong pamantayan ng true love.
Ito na ang tunay na buwis-buhay.
Imulat mo ang iyong mga
mata. Kabisado na ng mga daliri ko ang katangian ng tunay na pera. Masasalat
ito dahil magaspang. Pero hindi ito sapat. Something can feel so right but is actually
wrong. Pano kung magaspang pero si Mickey Mouse pala ang naka-imprenta sa
harapan? Epic fail. Kaya wag sana tayong magpakabulag sa definition ng mundo sa
pag-ibig. Love is not blind; we just close our eyes and ignore the truth. Let’s ask God to heal us from our blindness so that we may see the Truth in
His capital L-O-V-E.
“Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is he who takes refuge in
him.”
–Psalm 34:8

Are YOU an Answered Prayer?
"A gift received, a gift given away."
I know my greeting is late and, yeah, where have I been? I've been counting people's bonuses, the 13th and, 14th months pay. That's where I've been. Hey, the holidays are over. Banks look like banks again and not movie houses with long queues. So, yay!
If you are reading this, Mommy Gi, thank you so much.
She's always been generous and thoughtful of me. God will continue to reward her in full.
I asked God if I can open it this time, and He said yes. :)
What if I decided to keep the first planner? Lighting wouldn't strike me. God would still love me. Ela would get her planner, SB or not, in one way or another. God would use someone else. I would have a planner but missed a great lesson on generosity.
I'm just thankful that through God's grace, I was able to obey. Now, Ela has an SB Planner and her praise report. I have my SB Planner and a valuable lesson I can impart to the next generation. Lord, thank you!
No, it's not about recycling gifts you receive on Christmas day, as some of us are in the habit of doing so. (Hep, be honest).
Before I get to what it is about, let me greet you a *HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!*

Moving forward, I want to come back with a BANG! And what bang-er way than to give a praise report? I'll share now one of the many praise reports I have of God's faithfulness in my life.

After my pagpapacute and pasimpleng hirits, my dear friend Kim Santiago gave me her Starbucks 2103 Planner. To my over the top joy, I hugged and twirled her around. Later on, at home, I was about to rip the plastic covering when God impressed something.
Give it away.
I said, "What, Lord?"
GIVE IT AWAY.
"But... It's a Starbucks Planner. What about my collection?"
GIVE IT AWAY.
"Okay po."
One person kept appearing in my head -- Mikhaela de Leon. She's an amazing woman who does lots of things, meet lots of people, and goes to lots of places for an international NGO.

At that time, I believe God wanted to teach me an aspect of giving. We pray for things we desire, we get it, and that's just awesome. But sometimes, He blesses us so we can bless others. Like seeds, the gifts we receive are not for us to keep. They are to be sown on good soil where it will be more fruitful.

After the service, I handed her a brown bag with the planner in it. Said bye and went off. I was heading for the elevator when I saw her walking-running to me, tears flowing from her eyes. Little did I know, she was praying for a planner and intended to buy one that afternoon. She recalled, "Sabi ko, kung planner 'to, iiyak talaga ako." (If this is a planner, I would really be moved to tears). Her friends, who are now also my friends, showed me the photos of her sitting by the stairs, crying tears of joy and oblivious to the stares of passers-by.
It was a humbling experience to be an answered prayer to someone else. God wants to use us to be channels of His blessings. And the best part is, when we give, He doesn't leave us empty handed. He has mind-blowing ways of rewarding our faithfulness and generosity.

I got a call from Mommy Gigi Alcantara asking me if I already had an SB Planner. I was grinning from ear to ear as I said, "Wala pa po." She promised to give me one and here it is!
