Christmas is Your day

Dear Jesus,

How are you today?
It's your birthday!
I hope your day will be filled with praises and thanksgiving.

Jesus, you have been so good to me this year.
You gave me things I only wished but never asked...
You made things happen for me
You answered my prayers
Gave me my requests
Surprised me with beautiful moments

All those things I thought could not happen just happened.
Nothing is impossible with you by my side
My friend witnessed that moment when you surprised me...
You sent your gift just when I was about to give up.
She couldn't explain how did it happen. She said "it must be God"
Truly it's You!
Because You didn't want me to go home sad.
You didn't want me to give up.
No not yet.

I am nothing but a weak human
But you moved mountains for me.
I asked you "what did i do to deserve your kindness"
How can you love someone like me?
I can never understand your patience and overflowing mercy for me

This year, different troubles were thrown at me
Trials greeted me at the door of every opportunity
Yet, you made me strong
Stronger than i was before
You never left my side
You hold my hand every time I feel too weak to stand
Jesus, I am never alone

Though, another precious one left me this year
And I have been betrayed again and again
You are there to comfort me
You are there to give me new hope

Now that it's your birthday...
What can I give you?
What can I offer you?
I am not good in keeping promises
But this one I will not break
That You will always be my God
I will not...never will...
Bow down to other gods

Wherever I go
Whatever I achieve
I will not forget you
May I do something good
And make you smile everyday

Happy Birthday Jesus!

It is not easy...but I will not give up

It's funny to know that there are people who see me as a girl who gets everything
They think that whatever good things I have now...i got them easy
"Perhaps because she's an only child...she gets what she wants"
"Perhaps because she's close to her boss"
"Perhaps because she graduated with honors"
"Perhaps because she have well known friends"

They made several "theories" with no basis.
One person said "because she is using her charm"
"She knows who to meet and attract"
"She is using her connections"
They make stories based on what they believe not on what they see

Their malicious minds prevent them to see the real me.
They cannot see how hard i work everyday to achieve my goals
To have an 8 hour sleep became my yearly birthday wish
They cannot see that God is only blessing the work of my hands.
I have plans and dreams
But none of it will happen if it is not God's will.

In everything, I always do my best
But it is through God's grace that things which I thought are impossible becomes possible.
It is He who made some of my dreams come true.


My life is not perfect. It is not always happy.
I just choose to be thankful all the time.
I have problems too. But i rarely speak about them.
The more you talk about problems the bigger they become.
I don't bore people around me with my worries.
But if i need help, i know who to ask.


I don't choose who I meet
But i choose my friends wisely.
I remember people who are always there for me when I am feeling down and sad.
I appreciate people who are happy when I am happy
And I am loyal to those who truly love me.

It doesn't matter who they are or what they have
I don't care about their status.
I care whether they are true to me or not.
I know how to treasure good friends.


It's funny that they are wondering why I am always smiling.
I didn't know that smiling all the time could be a problem.

I know nothing is permanent
So i learned to appreciate everything.
I enjoy every minute I am with my parents
I enjoy my time with my friends. I laugh at our silliness when we're together
And i enjoy every moment I am with the person I love.

I learned not to complain much
I learned to be patient
My life is not easy.
Trials come and go
I have fears and doubts
But I don't want to give up
Unless...God tells me to stop

Final Decision: I WILL NOT VOTE FOR DUTERTE!

I like that he is brave and courageous
I like that he is man enough to face his opponents
I admire his wits and confidence
I like that he has dreams and plans for our country
I like that he do not deny his words

But...
Too much bravery makes a man fool

I do not like it when he cursed the Pope
Although I am a Born Again Christian, I know the Pope should be respected
But if he cannot respect the Pope, surely he cannot respect an ordinary person
Much more a person with nothing but a name given to him by his mother

I do not like it that he talks about "killing" as if it's just another household chore
I understand that criminals should be punished and that some deserve death
But to speak of killing as if it's a normal thing to do
Only encourages the minds of the young to think
That "killing" is an immediate option
And that it solves anything faster than fair justice.
He is giving an idea that "violence" is not wrong
But in fact, should be practiced

I do not like it that from his mouth comes
foul words
He speak words that a would be President should not speak
I believe a President should be a role model to everyone
There's no perfect President.
Surely whoever would be the next one...Has flaws...
But a President's words should always be true and proper
A cursed word should not come out of his or her mouth.

I wonder what things are in the heart of Mr. Duterte
Perhaps full of hate and anger
For you will know a person's heart from the words he speak

I do not like his lack of respect for women
His recent comment towards a certain rape victim is unacceptable
Again he showed his character...brave but fool
Even if he didn't mean it...and said it as a joke...
A wise man would know which words to use...

I hate him for his lack of compassion for stray animals
He said in an interview that the best way to solve the growing population of strays
And to control rabies virus is to shoot or poison the stray dogs and cats.
Now I know that a man can be brave even if he has no brain
Instead of promoting "neuter and spay" programs to solve the growing population
And to sponsor free anti-rabies shot...
He again decided to solve the issue by "killing"
How easy it is for him to kill innocent creatures...
Perhaps he had not heard that a man who is cruel to animals surely cannot be a good man

I do not like that whenever he would lose in battle of words and wisdom
He would provoke his opponent to engage in a boxing match with him...
Being a brave man is not measured by the number of fights he won or number of people he killed
A brave man stands up and speaks with dignity and respect
Fast to admit his mistakes and would act with integrity
Honest and promotes peace
He would value life and protect it like a man that honors God
And most of all a brave man knows who to fear
That above him is God
That as a man he should do what is right in the eyes of God
And not what he thinks is right


I am thankful I am in a Democratic country
I am free to choose who I want to be the next President of the Philippines
I have the right to speak, write and share my opinions
So do not hate me for saying I will not vote for Mr.Duterte
I respect anyone who says "Duterte is my President"
So respect me also for saying "I will not vote for Mr.Duterte"
