JOURNEY OF THE HEART - March 2013 (Part 3 of 12)

March 1

in the middle of chaos...there's still a reason to be thankful..

you really know how to lighten up my day.. thank you po


March 3

Nabasa sa papel na napulot sa daan:


"You really never stopped loving someone. You've just learned to live without them."

Nabasa sa papel na napulot sa daan:
"As I grow old, my realization about life becomes deeper. Problems get bigger, situations became more complicated, and I know that you are just like me. Sometimes we wish we could go back to the time when the only man in our life was our dad, our only best friend was our mom, and any pain can be healed by just a band-aid and a lollipop."

wag mo 'kong ngitian.. natutunaw ako.. ^^

--feelingers! picture pla kausap..  :P


March 5

nabasa sa papel na napulot sa daan:

"darating din pala yung panahon na kusa kang titigil sa kahibangan mo.. di lamang dahil nauntog ka na sa katotohanan.. kundi higit dahil napagtanto mo na hindi mo naman pala kailangan ng ibang tao para maramdaman mong kumpleto ka na.."


March 8

this is the saddest part: knowing the truth that really hurts!

tomorrow, i'll wear the most beautiful smile as if i didn't cried the whole night..


March 9

for a heart that's been torn, there's not much you can do..
but to understand..

remember these words? 
"don't worry, i will free you when it is finally time for you to go.."


March 16

Thank you Lord for your comforting words.


March 17

Saying that you're okay is so much easier rather than explaining all the reasons why you're not...


March 21

When I realized that there is nothing more that I could do..
When all that was left is just "me" and "you"
I started to fill my days with our memories
And live as if the past is still with me.

My life was fixated where we started
Paralyzed myself from moving ahead.
If there is a man who can't be moved
I am a definitely the female version

For quite some time, it stayed that way. 
I stubbornly hold on to an imaginary fairy tale
I lived with the illusions of a "happy ending"
Though the truth was served still I blindly lingered.

I loved you in silence, I watched you from afar
May they find it silly, the feelings hadn't stopped
For what the heart had seen cannot explain nor deny
Whatever we had is beyond what reason could understand.


March 22

praying for a heart's desire... #hopeful

Kahit umulan ang langit kanina masaya p dn ako hanggang ngyn.. #kilig


March 24

Excited for the holy week..mahaba-habang panahon pra sa mga bagay2..time to stop..time to reflect..time to recharge..time to discern..hoping for a good result..


March 25

"go beyond your boundaries.. walk outside your comfort zone.."

it is not who loves me.. it is whom i love..


March 30

Kung wala ka ng maintindihan
Kung wala ka ng makapitan
Kapit ka sa akin (kapit ka sa akin)
Hindi kita bibitawan

Upon hearing this song, I felt a sudden gush of emotions.
Thank you so much Lord! Kailanman hindi mo ko pinabayaan!


March 31

browsing my notes, I came across with this open letter to "the one that God has prepared for me".. looking at the date it was posted 2009, but as I recall I first saw this 5 years or more before that.. *sigh* is this how long I've waited? and how long do I need to wait again? how many times do i need to believe that I'd finally found you, only to be disillusioned.. T_T

JOURNEY OF THE HEART - February 2013 (Part 2 of 12)

February 1

Lord, please give me the strength to do everyday what I have to do..


February 5

I choose to love you in silence
for in my silence I find no rejection.

I choose to love you in my loneliness
for in my loneliness no one owns you but I.

I choose to adore you from a distance
for distance shields us both from pain.

I chose to imprison you in my thoughts
cause in my thoughts, freedom is for me to decide

I choose to kiss you on the wind
for the wind is gentler than my lips.

I choose to hold you only in my dreams
for in my dreams there is no end...


i miss the old me.. i really do..


February 6

Lord, please give me the strength to carry on..


February 9

I should not worry for I have a great God!


February 17

yes life without you shields me away from pain.. but..

in His time, our heart's desire will be granted..


February 23

February 25

February 26

“Hindi lungkot o takot ang mahirap sa pag-iisa kundi ang pagtanggap na sa bilyon-bilyong tao sa mundo, wala man lang nakipaglaban upang makasama ka.”

pag tinamaan ka nga naman ng senti mode.. naku.. bat ba kasi nauso pa eh..

Journey of the Heart - January 2013 (Part 1 of 12)

January 4

Lord, teach me to obey You, especially during the times when I don’t understand.


January 5

sometimes you just gotta accept that some people can only be in your heart, not in your life..


January 6

Silence is a Girl's loudest cry. If she is speechless, her heart is too tired of words...


January 16

Panaghoy
nasan ka na kaya?
sino ka ba talaga?
darating ka pa ba?
o lumagpas ka na?

marami na'ng nagdaan..
isa ka na ba sa kanila?
sino ka ba sa kanila?
pano ko malalaman kung ikaw na nga?

sawimpalad ba talaga?
o sadyang mainipin lang?
o baka naman bulag?
o di kaya'y manhid pala..

mga katanungan..
tila mailap ang kasagutan..
masasagot pa nga ba?
o baka nga hindi na..


January 17

Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours..

beautiful song of God's love.. happy morning! :)


January 20

somewhere, somehow, fate will lead us to the things that will wake us up back to reality..

little did i know that a little book will remind me of the things that i already know but is cowardly enough to put into action.. now reading The Zahir by Paulo Coleho


January 21

is praying for a closure..

am i ready to let go?


January 22

Lord thank you for being with me in every step of the way. In my success and failures, in my joys and sorrows, I know I am not facing them alone. To You be all the Glory!

January 23

Whenever I'm loosing hope, when loneliness is shaking my faith, whenever I need something to hold on to, I keep on repeating to myself, "God is faithful to complete the good work He has begun in me."

haiz.. another sleepless night.. rumaragasa na naman ang mga katanungang walang tiyak na kasagutan.. :(

Daily Readings for December 29, 2013

1ST READING Sirach 3:2-6, 12-14

2 God sets a father in honor over his children; a mother’s authority he confirms over her sons. 3 Whoever honors his father atones for sins, and preserves himself from them. When he prays, he is heard; 4 he stores up riches who reveres his mother. 5 Whoever honors his father is gladdened by children, and when he prays he is heard. 6 Whoever reveres his father will live a long life; he who obeys his father brings comfort to his mother. 12 My son, take care of your father when he is old; grieve him not as long as he lives. 13 Even if his mind fail, be considerate with him; revile him not all the days of his life; 14 kindness to a father will not be forgotten, firmly planted against the debt of your sin — a house raised in justice to you.

P S A L M Psalm 128:1-2, 3, 4-5

R: Blessed are those who fear the Lord and walk in his ways.

1 Blessed is everyone who fear the Lord, who walk in his ways! 2 For you shall eat the fruit of your handiwork; blessed shall you be, and favored. (R) 

3 Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine in the recesses of your home; your children like olive plants around your table. (R) 

4 Behold, thus is the man blessed who fears the Lord. 5 The Lord bless you from Zion: may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life. (R)

2nd READING Colossians 3:12-21

12 Brothers and sisters: Put on, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, heartfelt compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, 13 bearing with one another and forgiving one another, if one has a grievance against another; as the Lord has forgiven you, so must you also do. 14 And over all these put on love, that is, the bond of perfection. 15 And let the peace of Christ control your hearts, the peace into which you were also called in one body. And be thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, as in all wisdom you teach and admonish one another, singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. 17 And whatever you do, in word or in deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. 18 Wives, be subordinate to your husbands, as is proper in the Lord. 19 Husbands, love your wives, and avoid any bitterness toward them. 20 Children, obey your parents in everything, for this is pleasing to the Lord. 21 Fathers, do not provoke your children, so they may not become discouraged.

GOSPEL Matthew 2:13-15, 19-23

13 When the magi had departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, “Rise, take the child and his mother, flee to Egypt, and stay there until I tell you. Herod is going to search for the child to destroy him.” 14 Joseph rose and took the child and his mother by night and departed for Egypt. 15 He stayed there until the death of Herod, that what the Lord had said through the prophet might be fulfilled, “Out of Egypt I called my son.” 19 When Herod had died, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt 20 and said, “Rise, take the child and his mother and go to the land of Israel, for those who sought the child’s life are dead.” 21 He rose, took the child and his mother, and went to the land of Israel. 22 But when he heard that Archelaus was ruling over Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go back there. And because he had been warned in a dream, he departed for the region of Galilee. 23 He went and dwelt in a town called Nazareth, so that what had been spoken through the prophets might be fulfilled, “He shall be called a Nazorean.”

Feast of the Holy Innocents

1ST READING 1 John 1:5-2:2

5 Beloved: This is the message that we have heard from Jesus Christ and proclaim to you: God is light, and in him there is no darkness at all. 6 If we say, “We have fellowship with him,” while we continue to walk in darkness, we lie and do not act in truth. 7 But if we walk in the light as he is in the light, then we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of his Son Jesus cleanses us from all sin. 8 If we say, “We are without sin,” we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we acknowledge our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive our sins and cleanse us from every wrongdoing. 10 If we say, “We have not sinned,” we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. 2: 1 My children, I am writing this to you so that you may not commit sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous one. 2 He is expiation for our sins, and  not for our sins only but for those of the whole world.

P S A L M Psalm 124:2-3, 4-5, 7-8

R: Our soul has been rescued like a bird from the fowler’s snare.

2 Had not the Lord been with us — when men rose up against us, 3 then would they have swallowed us alive. When their fury was inflamed against us. (R) 

4 Then would the waters have overwhelmed us; the torrent would have swept over us; 5 over us then would have swept the raging waters. (R) 

7 Broken was the snare, and we were freed. 8 Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth. (R)

GOSPEL Matthew 2:13-18

13 When the magi had departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, “Rise, take the child and his mother, flee to Egypt, and stay there until I tell you. Herod is going to search for the child to destroy him.” 14 Joseph rose and took the child and his mother by night and departed for Egypt. 15 He stayed there until the death of Herod, that what the Lord had said through the prophet might be fulfilled, “Out of Egypt I called my son.” 16 When Herod realized that he had been deceived by the magi, he became furious. He ordered the massacre of all the boys in Bethlehem and its vicinity two years old and under, in accordance with the time he had ascertained from the magi. 17 Then was fulfilled what had been said through Jeremiah the prophet: 18 “A voice was heard in Ramah, sobbing and loud lamentation; Rachel weeping for her children, and she would not be consoled, since they were no more.”
