Caleruega - Close to Nature. Closer to God.

Rising tall and majestic in the highest point of Caleruega is the Transfiguration Chapel. From here one can behold the expanse of Caleruega and witness the glorious opus of radiant nature – a symphony of sky, trees, and the distant hills of Batulao. Like St. Peter during Jesus’ transfiguration, anyone who experiences such splendor of nature’s poetry will declare: Lord, it is good for us to be here… (Mt.17:4).

The bridge that connects the Church to the Hill

One of the Station of the Cross that you would encounter along the way

Sensya tinatamad lang ako mag-post, walang idea na pumapasok sa akin although maraming nangyari nitong nakaraang araw..

14 - Date with myself. Hehe! Nakipag-meet lang kay Kuya John ang aking consultant sa mga bagay-bagay na may kinalaman sa positive reinforcements, mga dating, grooming and health tips. Binigyan niya rin ako ng advice about the right haircut, mga tamang damit na susuot etc. Medyo awkward nga sa simula kasi hindi naman ako sanay sa ganung approach na sasabihin sa iyo mga tips na iyon in public. Natutuwa ako sa kanya kasi hinahatak niya ako to be positive hindi iyong buong buhay mo lang na walang mangyayari sa iyo, pero syempre lahat naman ng pagbabago may risk na kasama iyon nga lang dapat calculated siya. Medyo hapon na umuwi si Kuya para puntahan ang partner niya na nag-aantay sa kanya. Nagpakalbo na rin nga pala ako that day pag-uwi and all I can say is happy ako sa gupit ko ngayon.

15 - Pahinga as in DVD movie marathon lang. The usual kung-fu ones na naman.

16 - Kahit maulan sa Metro Manila natuloy pa rin ang trip to Tagaytay City, medyo late dumating ang sasakyan dahil Lunes at traffic. US bank holiday kaya walang pasok. Saka ko na post ang mga pics kasi hindi ko pa na-upload mula sa Digicam. All I can say is puro "Whoa" lalo na sa Calerwega sa Nasugbu, Batangas. Sayang at medyo bitin dahil sa holiday kami umalis at hindi during weekends.

He Says

"But I was wrong. Maybe I just dreamed too much that I forgot the rancorous after-effect of the so called LOVE..Or maybe, I might have found it. But it was not mine to hold forever. Whatever it is, all i can say is never ever trust what you feel. That following what your heart says doesn’t guarantee happiness. Cause at the end of the day, you won’ t get nothing but twinge in the most delicate part of your entity.. your heart. They say that you always have to fight for what you feel. That when you found that someone who turns your world around like nobody ever did, never ever let him/her go. Honestly, that was what I also believed in. But those beliefs drowned me till i almost forgot about me.. Life they say, should be lived to its fullest. Forget about the pain, love like you have never loved before, do what makes you happy and follow what your heart wants. But isn’t it escaping reality? a wishful thinking? Reality is far different to what ‘optimists’ try to view it. And love? It’s the same thing as life. It gives you joy but it doubles the pain. It excites you, but fails you in the end."

My Immortal
Gregorian: Masters of Chant (Original - Evanescence)

I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

[Chorus:]
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me

You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

[Chorus]

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along

[Chorus]

In response sa pag tagged sa akin ng respetadong blogger na si Kuya Aris, eto na po a mabilis na pasada lang na mga 25 bagay tungkol sa inyong linkod..

1. Hindi ako nagwa-wallet ever since. Wala lang ewan ko kung bakit. Mas gusto ko sa bulsa na lang lahat para hindi mainit ang mata ng mga masasamang loob.

2. Kaliwete po ako at ang utak eh aktibista rin. Hehe. Pero marunong rin naman ako mag-kanan iyon nga lang ang panget.

3. Sobra akong kuripot (pwede masinop na lang), na kailangan ng lahat ng bibilhin eh naka-planado at computed na sa budget. Kaya huwag makipag-date sa taong ito.

4. Short-tempered po ako at ayokong pinipilit ako sa mga bagay na ayaw ko. Antayin mong magkusa ako na gawin ang mga bagay na iyon.

5. I have no tolerance sa makukulit na bata, makakatikim ka talaga sa akin, if you'll gonna push your luck to me little child.

6. Sobrang adik po ako sa video games na kaya kong hindi kumain for about 16 hours sa sobrang absorbed sa paglalaro.

7. Hindi ako talentado sa larangan ng arte (hindi ako marunong sumayaw, kumanta at mag drawing).

8. Gusto kong nililinisan ang tenga ko ng ibang tao at hindi sarili ko, wala lang masarap lang pakiramdam at nakakatulog ako madalas.

9. All-time fave snack ang Nagaraya Cracker Nuts (Garlic Flavor).

10. Dream job ko ang maging archaeologist inspired from Indiana Jones.

11. Ayoko ng mushy na palabas at type kong panoorin mga horror flicks especially asian horrors, ok rin ang suspense, thriller at mga kung anu anung mga laman loob na inaalis sa tao habang buhay pa siya.

12. Transparent akong tao, malalaman mo ang mood ko sa kilos ko, pag galit ako hindi mo ako maririnig na magsasalita signalling na your crossing the border already.

13. Homebuddy lang po ako at hindi nasanay magliwaliw sa labas. Kung sakali lalabas eh dun na sa malayo at being with nature kesa magsasayaw ka sa club na kulang na lang eh apoy ng impyerno ang ilagay. haha!

14. Wala masyadong karanasan when it comes to dating so bear with me kung sino man ang magkakamali.

15. Fave anime ko Neon Genesis Evangelion dahil nakikita ko ang sarili ko kay Shinji (pero gusto ko avatar ni Hyuuga pakialam nyo).

16. I seldom eat fish, trauma na kasi nung natinik ako sa bangus at na-stuck siya sa throat ko.

17. Mr. Stresstabs sa sobrang haggard ang itsura. Ewan ko kung kelangan nabang ipa-overhaul sa talyer itong itsura ko.

18. Cat-lover at pang 5th generation na ang current na pusa naming si Chester, Raptor at Kebo.

19. Hindi po ako marunong lumangoy kaya hindi ako nagpupunta sa malalalim na lugar, pang children's area lang na 4 feet ako. huhu!

20. Hindi rin ako marunong magluto pero gusto kong matuto pero wag muna sa ngayon.

21. Agnostic po ako at Non-Practising Catholic. I do believe that there is a God but not to the institution. Pwede ka namang makipag-usap sa kanya directly. Nililigaw lang tayo sa kanya kanyang interpretation ng mga preacher diyan. Ayoko makipag-debate when it comes to religion dahil hindi tayo matatapos nang isang araw.

22. Ilang taong na akong loveless, still searching pero hindi ko alam kung bakit hindi ko siya mahanap. Anu kaya kailangan kong gawin?

23. Gusto kong matutong mag piano o gitara pero wala namang pwede magturo sa akin na malapit lang.

24. May crush ako sa office hindi ko sasabihin kung sino kaso taken na siya. Ok lang. Basta andyan siya masaya na ako.

25. Iniisip minsan ano ba talaga ang silbi ko sa mundo?

Phenomenal

Sa totoo lang hindi naman kailangan antayin pa ang February 14 para mapakita mo na mahal mo ang isang tao. Narinig ko sa MRT last time about sa story ng mag-asawa na bumili ng expensive wine na hinahanda nila sa isang special occasion. Gusto nang inumin ng babae niya ito pero ayaw ng lalaki at antayin na lang daw ang special day na iyon, hanggang sa di inaasahang namatay ito sa isang aksidente. Dumating ang special day na iyon, pero mag-isa na lang ang lalaki at wala ang asawa na magce-celebrate nito. Moral Lesson lang nito na hindi kailangang antayin ang espesyal na araw para mapakita mo na mahal mo ang isang tao, make it everyday a special day to both of you.

ang araw na ito..

He Says

"Sa kanya lang talaga ako nagbigay ng second chance sa relasyon. Mahal ko kasi talaga siya. Siya kasi ang sumagip sa akin noong mga panahong nalulunod ako sa lungkot. Siya ang muling nagbigay kulay sa aking mundo noong nagdidilim ito. Siya ang nagbigay dahilan sa akin upang muling ngumiti at maging masaya.

Kahit nagkahiwalay kami, hindi na muling nawala ang mga positibong bagay na natutunan ko sa kanya. Naging madali sa akin na tanggapin siyang muli because I have always loved him. I have always longed for him. Getting back together was like coming home."
-Hanggang Ngayon, Aris' Blog

The week that was

-Medyo disorganize lang ako nitong nagdaang mga araw. The usual problema na patuloy na dumadating sa aking buhay. Parang PC na nauubusan ng virtual memory. Mental block palagi, tulala at hindi makausap nang matino. Maski ang performance ko sa office - dwindling and alarming na. Ewan ko bakit kasi kailangan pang isipin ang iba palagi na nakakalimutan ko na sarili ko.

-In a couple of days or maybe next month, magbabago na nang tuluyan ang akin social life, welcome to the "night-shift" life. Yes, I volunteered for the new function sa aming department. Matagal kong pinagisipan ito at tinimbang ang mga pros and cons sa paglilipat ng shift. Kailangan ko lang sigurong mag bagong buhay at makasagap ng sariwang hangin sa office. Masyadong toxic na kasi sa workarea. Alam mo na kanya-kanyang faction/groups na lang. Puro backbiting at plastikan lang. May nalalaman pang team building pero wala namang nagbi-build para masabi lang na meron. Kung magsasalita ka naman ikaw pa ang mapapasama. Hindi mo na nga alam kung ano ang ikikilos mo sa team na ito. Kaya siguro it's a good thing and a reliever na rin na kahit paano bagong mukha, bagong pod, bagong growth and development and hopefully magkaroon ng direction ang aking career. Planning to look for an apartment, hindi lang ma push through kasi wala pang pera at time. Nakakapagod na kasi ang 3hrs travel time na imbes magpapahinga ka na eh nasa biyahe ka pa.

-Sa haus eto, panibagong sakit ng ulo na naman pero Ok na ito. Planning to mortgage another house pero malapit lang sa current namin. Last week tiningnan ang area ok naman siya. Baka this week na kami papareserve para hindi na makuha ng iba. Di hamak na mas maganda dun kesa dito sa tinitirahan namin, kaunting ulan lang eh baha na sa harapan namin (malas lang namin kasi nasa mababang area kami), ayoko na maranasan na pinapasukan pa kami ng tubig na parang Navotas na. Basta ang bigat ng pakiramdam ko sa house, pakiramdam ko puro negative na lang nasasagap kong energy pag umuuwi ako. Hehe! Hindi ko nga alam kung kaya ko ba bayaran monthly ito sa dami ng gastos, baka ma-ospital na ako.

-Yay! May lanline na si Zander - sa lahat kasi ng mga gamers (sa GamePal) siya lang ang nakakasundo ko at parang magka-sync kami sa mga topic na gusto namin. Gusto ko ang biruan at usapan time namin. Wala lang halos kasi nagkakasundo kami sa mga pinaguusapan namin at masaya kasama ito lalo na sa mga sidetrip. Pareho naming gusto anime, books and video gaming. Nagpapaunahan kami sa mga recent updates sa area na iyon. Kaso nga lang nasa Cavite siya at Rizal ako kaya buti na lang at nakabitan na sila ng landline.

-Isa sa mga closest friend ko sa office eh si Rain - actually wala talaga kaming connection pero nung nakikita ko na parang OP siya lagi dahil puro babae mga kasabay niya sa group nila eh ako na ang nag approach para kausapin siya at makipag kaibigan. From that on, sabay na kami umuuwi from work (although mas malapit siya sa sana sa reverse way na usual niyang dinadaanan), kaya ngayon kahit papaano may nalalabasan na ako ng mga kinikimkim ko sa sarili at kakulitan kesa dati na mag-isang umuuwi at laging Biyernes santo ang itsura. Hindi nawawala ang kwek-kwek thing. I'm happy na nagkaroon na siya ng tiwala sa akin at nagsasabi na rin siya ng mga bagay na alam mo na. Hirap sabihin pero kailangang ilabas.

-Lovelife? anu iyon? Hindi ko alam anu pakiramdam o itsura nun. Haha. Wala lang bokya pa rin and ewan ko anu nba mangyayari sa akin sa parte na iyon. Ako na ang ang pinakamalas pagdating diyan. Wala lang. Siguro i'm not that attractive physically and super panget ng personality ko kaya iwas sila sa akin. hehe! Hindi naman ako nag self-pity masyado pero ganun talaga eh. Ewan ko anung kailangan kong gawin para mahalin nila ako. Pagod na pagod na ako at gusto ko na magpahinga sa bagay na yan. Kung darating o hindi, wala na akong pakialam. I'll just go with the flow na lang kung san ako dadalhin ng tadhana. Me mga bagay na nagbabalik pero hindi ko alam papano yayakapin. Magpapakatanga ba ako ulit o kakalimutan ang lahat at magsisiumula nang panibago.

-Sa MRT tuwing bumababa ako sa Quezon Avenue station, hindi ko maiwasang malungkot at maawa sa mga nakikita ko habang bumababa ng hagdan. Andun ang mga batang gusgusin na nakahiga sa malamig na sahig. Natutulog at minsan nilalangaw. Batang may hydrocephalus na karga ng kanyang ina. At si lola na nakikita ko lagi araw-araw na nakaupo sa gilid ng hagdan na dapat sana eh nagpapahinga na lang at ini-enjoy ang mga nalalabing panahon niya sa mundo. Gusto ko man silang tulungan pero sapat lang ang pera ko sa gastos sa sarili ko. Bakit kailangang humantong sa ganito. Bakit maraming naghihirap. Bakit kailangan sapitin nila ang ganito. May pag-asa pa bang magbago ang kapalaran.

There i was waiting for a chance

maybe its wrong to love you more each day
coz i know its here to stay....
but i know to whom you should belong....

I believe what u said to me
we should set each other free
that's how u want it to be....

repeat II then chorus....

Don't Quit Poem

by anonymous

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,

When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,

When the funds are low and the debts are high,

And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,

When care is pressing you down a bit,

Rest! if you must; but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,

As everyone of us sometimes learns,

And many a failure turns about

When he might have won had he stuck it out;

Don't give up, though the pace seems slow;

You might succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than

It seems to a faint and faltering man,

Often the struggler has given up

When he might have captured the victor's cup.

And he learned too late, when the night slipped down,

How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out;

The silver tint of the clouds of doubt;

And you never can tell how close you are,

It may be near when it seems afar;

So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit;

It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit.

Reflection: Determination

In 1883, a creative engineer named John Roebling was inspired by an idea to build a spectacular bridge connecting New York with the Long Island. However bridge building experts throughout the world thought that this was an impossible feat and told Roebling to forget the idea. It just could not be done. It was not practical. It had never been done before.

Roebling could not ignore the vision he had in his mind of this bridge. He thought about it all the time and he knew deep in his heart that it could be done. He just had to share the dream with someone else. After much discussion and persuasion he managed to convince his son Washington, an up and coming engineer, that the bridge in fact could be built.

Working together for the first time, the father and son developed concepts of how it could be accomplished and how the obstacles could be overcome. With great excitement and inspiration, and the headiness of a wild challenge before them, they hired their crew and began to build their dream bridge.

The project started well, but when it was only a few months underway a tragic accident on the site took the life of John Roebling. Washington was injured and left with a certain amount of brain damage, which resulted in him not being able to walk or talk or even move.

"We told them so."
"Crazy men and their crazy dreams."
"It`s foolish to chase wild visions."

Everyone had a negative comment to make and felt that the project should be scrapped since the Roeblings were the only ones who knew how the bridge could be built. In spite of his handicap Washington was never discouraged and still had a burning desire to complete the bridge and his mind was still as sharp as ever.

He tried to inspire and pass on his enthusiasm to some of his friends, but they were too daunted by the task. As he lay on his bed in his hospital room, with the sunlight streaming through the windows, a gentle breeze blew the flimsy white curtains apart and he was able to see the sky and the tops of the trees outside for just a moment.

It seemed that there was a message for him not to give up. Suddenly an idea hit him. All he could do was move one finger and he decided to make the best use of it. By moving this, he slowly developed a code of communication with his wife.

He touched his wife's arm with that finger, indicating to her that he wanted her to call the engineers again. Then he used the same method of tapping her arm to tell the engineers what to do. It seemed foolish but the project was under way again.

For 13 years Washington tapped out his instructions with his finger on his wife's arm, until the bridge was finally completed. Today the spectacular Brooklyn Bridge stands in all its glory as a tribute to the triumph of one man's indomitable spirit and his determination not to be defeated by circumstances. It is also a tribute to the engineers and their team work, and to their faith in a man who was considered mad by half the world. It stands too as a tangible monument to the love and devotion of his wife who for 13 long years patiently decoded the messages of her husband and told the engineers what to do.

Perhaps this is one of the best examples of a never-say-die attitude that overcomes a terrible physical handicap and achieves an impossible goal.

Often when we face obstacles in our day-to-day life, our hurdles seem very small in comparison to what many others have to face. The Brooklyn Bridge shows us that dreams that seem impossible can be realised with determination and persistence, no matter what the odds are.

Even the most distant dream can be realized with determination and persistence.

The Real Meaning Of Peace

The Real Meaning Of Peace

Author Unknown

There once was a king who offered a prize to the artist who would paint the best picture of peace. Many artists tried. The king looked at all the pictures. But therewere only two he really liked, and he had to choose between them.

One picture was of a calm lake. The lake was a perfect mirror for peaceful towering mountains all around it. Overhead was a blue sky with fluffy white clouds. All who saw this picture thought that it was a perfect picture of peace.

The other picture had mountains, too. But these were rugged and bare. Above was an angry sky, from which rain fell and in which lightning played. Down the side of the mountain tumbled a foaming waterfall. This did not look peaceful at all.

But when the king looked closely, he saw behind the waterfall a tiny bush growing in a crack in the rock. In the bush a mother bird had built her nest. There, in the midst of the rush of angry water, sat the mother bird on her nest - in perfect peace.

Which picture do you think won the prize? The king chose the second picture. Do you know why?

"Because," explained the king, "Peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. Peace means to be in the midst of all those things and still be calm in your heart. That is the real meaning of peace."

Kakatapos lang namin kumain ng tanghalian, up to now kanina pa akong tawa nang tawa sa menu nila. Pagkadating sa JollyJeep napansin ko label ng ulam "Pork Stick" curious naman ako na baka parang inihaw siya na iniba lang ang pangalan kaya tiningnan ko iyon pala pork steak talaga ang ulam. Pati ang escabeche - "Skabitche" nakalagay. Ei hindi ko inaano ang mga Bisaya po kasi yung parent ko eh ganun din. Natawa lang ako dahil seryoso pa ako kanina na nagtataka kung may ganung ulam talaga.

Dabo hihiramin ko muna ang quotes na ito sa iyo..

"It is always my stand that one should never substitute friendship for affection. I said it not out of bitterness or something to that effect, but former flames or former potential significant others have to define friendship first before they offer those words of comfort.

Move on but don’t move away.."
-Digit One, time for bath water, Dabo's ..a time for later

Paulit-ulit na lang

Me mga bagay na gusto ko sabihin sa iba pero hindi ko magawa dahil batid ko ang magiging consequence nito. Ang hirap-hirap ng pakiramdam ng walang nasasabihan ng iyong mga problema, hinaing at mga takot sa buhay. Naiipon lang siya dito, hindi ko alam kung hanggang kailan ko siya makakayanang ikimkim. Natatakot ako baka dumating na lang ang araw na bigla na lang itong sumabog at hindi ko na alam kung ano ang pwede kong gawin sa sarili ko.

Bakit ba ganito ang mundo? Masyadong malupit. Mabangis. Sa isang iglap hindi mo namamalayan bigla ka nalang nitong lulumunin sa kawalan. Hanggang sa makita mo ang sarili mong nakalugmok sa putikan at wala man lang magbibigay ng kamay niya para ika'y tulungan. Napapadalas ang pag-iisip ko na sana nawala na lang ako. Ayoko naman saktan ang sarili ko. Pero handa naman ako sa kung anung mangyari sa akin kahit mamatay pa ako. Tutal pakiramdam ko wala namang nagmamahal sa akin. Hindi ko maramdaman ang presensya nila.

Parang akong kandilang unti-unting nauupos sa paglipas ng panahon.
Inisiip ko lagi paano kaya kung namatay ako, may dadalaw ba sa aking lamay. Iiyakan ba nila ako. Gaano kadami o kaunti ang pupunta. Hay ewan ko. Bahala na siguro. Naiiyak na lang ako bigla sa jeepney sa tuwing may naaalala akong bagay na nakakakapag bigay ng sobrang kalungkutan at pangungulila. Ironic nga eh, kung saan ang pinakagusto kong sandali ng buhay na mapag-isa dun naman ang point na napakalungkot ko naman. Hindi ko na maintindihan ang sarili ko minsan. Kung anu ba talaga ang gusto ko gawin sa buhay. Kung anung landas ang tatahakin ko. Kung anu ba ang plano ko mangyari sa buhay ko. Kung sino sino ang makakapagbigay sa akin ng tunay na kaligayahan.

Hanggang kailan ako mag-aantay para sa taong para sa akin. Sabi nila maghintay lang ako, pero hanggang kailan. Hindi naman sa nagmamadali pero ilang taon na akong naghihintay. Anu pa ang kailangan kong gawin para mahanap siya. Napapagod na ako minsan na umabot sa puntong gusto ko nang bumigay na lang at bahala na at tanggapin na ganito na lang ang aking kapalaran. Ang mabuhay na mag-isa hanggang sa tumanda at mamatay. Nakakalungkot pero hinahanda ko na ang sarili ko sa ganitong bagay. Siguro pag nangyari iyon mas gusto kong magpakalayo-layo na lang sa lugar na hindi ako kilala. O kaya pumunta na lang sa Golden Acres para alagaan ng ibang tao.

Pasensya na kung ganito lagi ang nasa isipan ko ngayon. Hindi pa naman ako depressed. It's just nalilito lang ako at nangangapa kung anu naba ang lagay ko ngayon, kung saan ako patungo. Puro na lang negative naririnig nyo sa akin. Hindi ko rin alam kung bakit ako ganito. Masisira na ang ulo ko kakaisip sa daming ng mga problema na dumadaan sa aking isipan. Bakit kailangang mangyari sa akin ito. Sobra ko na silang iniisip na nakakalimutan ko na ang sarili ko. Hindi mo naman maiiwasan na hindi sila isipin dahil parte na sila ng buhay mo.

Siguro kailangan ko lang ng makakasama sa buhay ngayon. Taong handang makinig sa akin. Handang intindihin nilalaman ng aking puso. Yung kayang paamuhin ako. Yung taong ma-appreciate lahat ng ginagawa ko sa kanya. Yung handa akong ipaglaban at mahalin nang walang kapalit. Argh! Hindi naman nag-eexist ang ganung tao. Pero heto ako naghahanap na naman kahit hindi makita kung may pag-asa pa ba talaga at may magandang bukas ba na nag-aantay. Please dumating ka na buhay ko. At iligtas mo ako sa pagkakalugmok at pag torture sa aking puso't isipan. Sana dumating ka na.
