He lays me on the couch and says
“how has your day been?
Tell me your problems;
I’ll help you solve them.
Come on let’s talk about it”
He sits next to me and smiles.
Listens to all of my words,
Relaxes all of my nerves.

Like breathe in (breathe in)
Let it go (shout it out)
Take deeps breathes and real slow, calm down.
Close my eyes (soft spoke)
Ease my mind (take control)
From my body please
Work your Psychology

You’re taking good care of me
Always been there for me
Boy I can’t bear to leave
Cause I need your therapy

You’ve given me everything
So much I ever could need
Without you I’m so weak in the knees
I need your therapy

He puts his hand on my lower back
his face in my neck and
Says something to make me laugh
Makes me forget I was mad
His touch feels so right
It’s like he’s reading my mind
I need him all the time

Like breathe in (breathe in)
Let it go (shout it out)
Take deeps breathes and real slow, calm down.
Close my eyes (soft spoke?)
Ease my mind (take control)
From my body please (?)

It heals me just to hear you say “I Love You”

Always been there for me
Boy I can’t bear to leave

5.30 ang calltime. Pero around 6am na nakarating sa meeting area. Nakakahiya kay kuya Al dahil kanina pa ata siya at on-time talaga. Dumating naman si Thomas para humabol at 7am. Tried the trail run mula sa Wawa terminal pataas. Maputik dahil kakatapos lang ng ulan kaya dagdag hirap pa bukod sa pataas na path. Nanibago ako kaya naman mabilis ding hiningal. Kelangan mag practice palagi sa area na yun para masanay kami ni Thomas.

Kakatuwa lang dahil marami pa palang area dito sa Montalban ang hindi namin napupuntahan. Masaya kasi nature trek/jog with friends. Mas gusto ko pa ito kesa mag-mall or other urban areas. Being one with nature. Hindi na kami tumuloy pa pataas dahil na nga sa hindi favorable ang panahon at maputik masyado at madudulas lang kami. Saka na siguro pag tuyo na ang lupa at susubukan namin na makaakyat pa sa summit.

We've decided na pumunta sa Pacific Crushing plant area, kung san nag jogging daw si kuya Al. Ok naman ang lugar. Merong mga manaka-nakang bahay sa pagtahak namin. Barangay Mascap na pala siya at further north merong poultry sa bandang ibaba.

Then sinubukan naman naming puntahan ang Gethsemane Prayer Mountain at the top of the hill. Grabe since maputik ang sapatos namin. Mahirap umakyat dahil matarik siya, samahan mo pa ng putikan naming sapatos na nakakadagdag ng dulas.

Reached the top. Walang bantay sa gate. Tuloy lang kami. Grabe ang ganda ng place niya. Since nasa taas ng hill, makikita mo ang view ng Eastwood City and adjacent subdivisions nito. Makikita mo rin ang mountainous part near Wawa and as far as the cemetery at Amityville. Sobrang tahimik ng lugar. Kaya siguro tinawag na prayer mountain. Halos lahat ng area dito merong room for praying and reflections. Nasa top ang church hall kung san makikita mo lang ang cross and wala nang ibang images.

Mga taga dun eh, either nagbabasa ng scriptures, nag meditate thru praying and iba solemnly strumming guitars. Too bad wala kaming camera na dala, baka next time siguro pagbalik namin dun ang hopefully payagan ng nagbabantay sa area na iyon and explore na rin namin ang left side niya na hindi namin napuntahan.

Bumaba na rin kami after  30 minutes. Naglakad sa may palayan papunta kina Kuya Al, pahinga saglit sa kanila then umuwi sa kanya-kanyang bahay bago mag tanghali.

Salamat po sa bonding experience thru nature trip kuya Al and Thomas. Hanggang sa muli.

Breakfast etc.

Thanks ulit sa team breakfast na binigay ni Sir Bong at Something Fishy at Eastwood City Libis, nag-enjoy po kami sa food and sa uulitin po. Congratulations again for your promotion as Modification Supervisor and next time maybe, we'll be seeing you at your wedding.

Hindi nga lang maganda ang panahon at nag-uuulan, almost noon na nang makauwi sa amin taking Sta. Lucia-Montalban route. Para akong ewan sa jeep sa sobrang kaantukan. Tapos dugyot ko pa sa putikan kong pants. Buti nalang at nalinisan na ng kapatid ko at malinis na ulit.

Bumili na rin ako ngayon ng raisins and bottle of water para sa aming trail run sa Wawa Dam tomorrow morning. Rain or shine. Palabhan nalang siguro ulit ang rubber shoes sa kapatid ko.

[PS Boys] ano na ang balita sa inyo. Ilang taon na rin ang lumipas since ang last bonding natin. Hanggang text nalang ba talaga tayong lahat at walang time para magkita kita ulit. Hope na magkaroon kayo ng time para dito kasi minsan lang naman tayo magkita, kaya mag sacrifice and allot naman kayo ng time.

Hayz, ulan ulan, senti moment na naman ako habang nasa biyahe.
Nakatingin sa labas ng jeep habang pumapatak ang ulan.
Daming naiisip na memories, struggles, pain pero got to move forward

I never set out to become anything in particular, only to live creatively and push the scope of my experience for adventure and for passion. The raw of expecting things unexpectedly is the key to every road of challenges and  this is where my heart beats hardest.

Most person don’t even know who we are, and what we do or how we do it, let alone what they pay us for it. I never want to take this for granted so I try to keep motivation simple, real, and positive.  If I only scrape a living, at least it’s a living where I’m scraping.  If there’s no future in it, this is a present worth remembering.

A Prayer for our [living heroes - the OFW's]

2 Reaction(s)

Dear God,


You crossed every border between divinity and humanity to make your home with us. Bless our fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters who have travelled to foreign lands with faith in their heart leaving their families behind as they break through the barriers of people, cultures, and languages to escape oppression and poverty.

There are many things going on that are beyond us even with our collective power. We come to thee in supplication and heartfelt pleadings as we are mindful of the ordeals of others.

We thank thee for hearing the prayers of your people as China grant reprieve to our three OFWs and may the Chinese government grant a lesser penalty to their case.

We pray for the thousands of OFWs who were incarcerated and imprisoned in the Middle East, Asia and other continents, may thou please grant them the chance to get back to their families and find a new life, justice and freedom as they entrust their lives into thy hands. May Thou enlighten our leaders to put the plights of distressed OFWs as a priority and withdraw from plans to cut the DFA social service and legal assistance funds.

We pray to Thee that our OFWs in Taiwan will soon be reprieved of taking all the heat of the current Taiwan-Philippines rift. May the government emissary would soon find resolution to this issue so that those more than five thousand scheduled for deployment will now be allowed to take on their jobs, and the nearly a hundred thousand currently employed may keep their jobs and be able to sustain their families.

We pray that may Thou please keep our overseas Filipinos safe in the escalating conflict in countries where democratic renaissance in Muslim nations is unfolding from Morocco, Egypt, Yemen, Bahrain and Libya as they await the immediate repatriation efforts being taken by our government agencies.

We pray for Thy protection and guidance of the more than thirty thousand OFW’s in Libya. May their families in the Philippines be freed from fear and worries of their condition and that the OFWs safety is assured despite the worsening condition.

We pray that may Thou save from harm our Filipino workers in war torn countries of Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as OFWs in Nigeria, Somalia, Lebanon and Jordan, who have taken great risks to continue their fight against poverty to support their families in the Philippines despite of the work deployment ban imposed in these countries.

We pray for the safety of the Filipino nurses trapped in the rubbles during the earthquake in New Zealand, and the rest of the OFWs and Expats around the world who are suffering from natural calamities, diseases and injustices that they may find comfort through faith in Thee.

Hear our prayer Lord, to end the corruption that has become the plague of our nation, to end poverty that afflicts and besets Thy people, to end violence and war that displaces millions of our Filipinos from their homes, which separate, divide and break families.

As we await for the signs of time when the Filipinos around the world, the fathers and mothers brothers and sisters, and sons and daughters may be reunited as one happy family.

We pray for Thine tender love and kind mercy, with our faith, with our hope, with our love to thee, we pray for power greater than us all, we pray for divine intervention.


This is a joint call from the Pinoy Expats/OFW Blog Awards, or PEBA, Inc, along with its 300+ KABLOGS, the RMN News Bantay OFW radio program and the Blas Ople Policy Center and we are asking for your prayers or support by reposting this to your blog, posting this link in your FB, Friendster and Twitter accounts or sending this as email to your networks.

Contentment

"Happiness is a very subjective factor in one's life. Being happy doesn't depend on achieving what you want, but rather making the best out of what is given. Life isn't fair, it never was. The only thing that can make you completely happy is contentment. Be contented on what you have, but be sure to aim high and never stop believing you can do better every time. But if all fails, don't forget that an ordinary you has an extraordinary GOD to back you up."

The Paradox of our Age

Habang nakasakay sa bus, bigla ko lang napansin yung malawak na "bukirin" ng UP-Diliman (along Commonwealth Avenue), natuwa naman ako, puro berde (refreshing sa paningin at nakakaalis ng stress). Kasi sa bus, hindi talaga maiiwasang nakaka idlip ka sa antok buti na lang nde ako lumalagpas sa babaan. Walang lang, kung minsan sa sobrang busy natin sa work natin eh nakakalimutan natin mga simpleng bagay na nakakapagpasaya sa atin. Nagiging "robot" na rin tayo.. nawawala na ang "human" side natin..

Just want to share the essay written by Dr. Moorehead..


The Paradox of our Time!


The paradox of our time in history is that...

We have taller buildings, but shorter tempers.
Wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints.
We spend more, but have less.
We buy more, but enjoy it less.

We have bigger houses and smaller families.
More conveniences, but less time.
We have more degrees, but less sense.
More knowledge, but less judgment.
More experts, but more problems.
More medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly,
laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry too quickly,
stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little,
watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values.
We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.
We've learned how to make a living, but not a life;
We've added years to life, not life to years.

We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor.
We've conquered outer space, but not inner space;
We've done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul.
We've split the atom, but not our prejudice.
We write more, but learn less;
We plan more, but accomplish less;
We've learned to rush, but not to wait;
We have higher incomes, but lower morals;
We have more food, but less appeasement;

We build more computers to hold more information to produce more copies than ever, but have less communication.

We've become long on quantity, but short on quality.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion; tall men, and short character; steep profits, and shallow relationships.

These are the times of world peace, but domestic warfare; more leisure,but less fun; more kinds of food, but less nutrition.

These are days of two incomes, but more divorce; of fancier houses, but broken homes.

These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throw away morality, one-night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill.

It is a time when there is much in the show window and nothing in the stockroom; a time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to make a difference, or to just hit delete...

Uwian na. Hindi na nakapag-OT dahil sa sobrang antok.
.
.
.
.
Nagising sa ingay ng TV at init na rin, naligo na rin para makapag-net. Ilang araw rin kasi akong hindi nakapag-update sa FB at sa iba pang networks.
.
.
.
.
Umuwi para manood ng TV series na "Misteryo", mula nang malipat siya sa Channel 7, parang nabawasan or nakulangan ako sa show. Maski si Alex hindi na rin nagtatawas at mabilis lang ang psychic survey nila.
.
Bored sa bahay, pumunta sa school oval at baka maabutan pa si Jervin sa pagjogging, pinanood ang mga naglalaro ng footbal. Mga future Azkal players in the making. Sarap pala pumunta dun pag hapon, fresh cold air. At parang mini-Luneta siya sa dami ng pamilya na pumupunta, kasama ang mga kabataan.
.
Nag-text kina Jervin at Rene, nakauwi na pala ang mokong at nasa palengke. Pinuntahan sila sa bagong pwesto sa palengke kaunting chit-chat sa balita kay Angelo pati na sa mga kaklase dati habang pahinga sa bahay nila. Pagkauwi naman, naabutan naman si Pogs na pinsan ni Angelo, naki-balita na rin kung nasaan na siya at naka-confine pa rin daw sa hospital.

Hindi nag-reply si Thomas, kaya kami lang ni Kuya Al ang natuloy sa jogging namin papuntang Wawa. Nakakahiya kay Al at ilang minutes rin akong late. Kala ko kasi eh wala pa siya at naglalakad rin mula sa kanila. Mga 5-7km rin ang layo ng jog namin. After makarating sa Wawa terminal. Tinuro sa akin ni kuya ang trail na dinaanan nila sa Merryl Adventure run na ginanap noong nakaraang taon dito sa Sitio Wawa, grabe ang hirap ng trail dahil pataas siya sa simula palang, kaya malaking challenge ito. Patuloy ang slope ng lupa habang papataas. Hindi na rin namin nadaanan most of the trail kasi nga tirik na ang araw at napagpasyahan naming umuwi na matapos ang ilang usapan tungkol sa jogging at photography.

Net ulit kasama na rin ang pagpapa-print ng resume ni Papa dahil aapply sa ibang company.

.
Supposedly magkikita kami ni Chris tungkol sa ilang importanteng bagay kaso hindi natuloy dahil na rin at nasa Bicol siya. Maski si Mike, nagyayaya sa Wawa eh hindi biglang nautusan na magbabantay ng tindahan, kaya nalusaw ang plano na magmuni-muni sa Wawa. Hayz, bored!
.
.
Nakipag-meet sa may MOA para mag bonding, kaunting usap usap, bili ng makakain. Nakitulog. Nakikopya na rin ng MP3s pati na mga kung anu-ano na nasa phone niya. Salamat po sa overnight stay.
.
.
Hinatid siya sa work at umuwi na rin ako. Pinagiisipan kung mainam sakyan, kung bus ba na take the risk sa traffic or sa MRT at paputol-putol na biyahe sa mga jeep pero tipid naman sa oras.
.
Nag-assume na since tanghali eh hindi naman traffic, lahat nalang ng kamalasan eh napunta sa akin sa pagsakay sa bus na ito. Pumila pa sa baba ng Ortigas at sa ibabaw naman ng Cubao. Samahan mo pa na nabangga ang salamin niya ng isa pang bus at buti nalang hindi tumagal ang usapan nila at nagbayaran agad.
.
.
Pagkauwi sa amin, kaunting pahinga at nakatulog sa pagod at nag-gayak na matapos ang ilang minuto papasok sa trabaho.
