One perfect sunset....
Since last thursday i was bothered by a problem.... I guess it was still a part of the long ribbon of problems that had came to us since AB and i started this investing thingy back in pinas last year.... Most part of it are concerning the money matters....
I am not the kind of person that is motivated by crispy basket of cash by the way, i will still choose happiness first before a pocket full of money.... But the problem is, almost everything that are necessary for us human beings to be happy and contented nowadays already has a monetary value....! Which means that whatever theories, principles, beliefs, hocus-pocus etc. do you believe into, the reality that will slam your face first is we still need money to survive and fit in this unforgiving society of ours whether we like it or not....! In short, my problems was obviously about money....
We have to meet a deadline by the 6th of november that was supposed to be on the first week of 2008 pa sana next year, but because there was a sudden twist of events hiniling ng property owner na ibigay namin ang half of the remaining amount next month na....! Behind all that, i still have to meet my other priorities too like my bills, electricity, landline, mobile phone, food, transport etc....! So there i go, my bank account was flat....! I've even counted-in my next payment at work na for the end of this month but still no use dahil short pa rin ako....! Brain storming went on and on and before i knew, it was already 5:00 AM and i forgot to go to bed pala....!
Today i woked up 9:30 AM with only four hours of sleep at parang exhausted pa rin pakiramdam ko dahil kahit sa pagtulog yata ay patuloy akong haunted ng problema namin.... This morning i've already given up and said bahala na....! So i took a shower, a good breakfast and try not to put on a long face eventhough deep inside my system the acid level was boiling and rising due to too much stress in my mind....! Then i returned to the old habbit, the way every troubled person does when faced with brick walls.... I sat in the corner, then i turned to GOD for help....
It's sunday today so i thought he's there expecting everyone, ready to listen to our every prayers eventhough some of us always memorized them from the books over and over again.... So i did pray that very moment.... I prayed that he will make thing easier for me to handle and i've also prayed that my problem will be solve before the day ends today.... Time went by and i even came up to the point na may mga realisations ako na wala yata talagang diyos and we're simply just like the moss growing on a damp old wall na basta na lang sumulpot just because the temperature, moisture and everything was just right for us to grow....
That the scientologists were right when they said that god did came from outerspace....! But deep in my heart i still believe in that one immediate friend who's always there willing to listen to my whispers and my thoughts eversince.... To make the story short, just before the sun went down today, Cam ranged and told me that he have to return the money that i gave him last month for the camera that i was planning to buy because that model wasn't in the market anymore, which is good dahil ibig sabihin nun ay may pandagdag na ako dun sa budget pambayad....! Then just before 8:00 PM tonight, my neighbor also came upstairs to my apartment and told me that he's willing to lend me some cash too....!
I'm aware that there's still a lot of problems up ahead while we're living, but just always keep it in our minds that there's someone there watching over us, just when we really thought that there wasn't anyone at all.... I owe this special day to him and today i have been blessed.... I wanted to post this entry as a sign of my respect and gratitudes to.... you know who is The almighty one don't you....? =D
P.S. You know what i'm thinking right now....? It wasn't actually my prayers that had made things happened today.... It was from someone else's prayers....! The twist of events that i've mentioned here a while ago was about the property owner's husband who is going to undergo an operation for Cancer of the Colon on the 6th of november....! I was just an instrument of god for him today.... =)

Faith is priceless.
As an old Christian song goes by... "God will make a way when there's seems to be no way... He works in ways we cannot see, He will make a way for me..."
Ang bait talaga ni Lord, even if we most of the times ignore Him, He will still be always there for us ^^
Tutuo po yan Ate jackie.... Alam nyo, palagi ko na lang dini-deprive ang sarili ko in terms of asking for something from up above because everytime i felt like doing so i always thought of those less fortunate ones na wala nga kahit na ano so ano nga ba ang right ko para mag-demand....? And there are times na gusto ko ring magtampo sa kanya.... Anyways, he had blessed me a lot in some other ways thought they'are not really what i'm praying for but he really did so much good things in my life.... =D
By the way, i'm not religious.... I don't even go to church, but i do believe in the creator of all these things great and small....! =)
Hi Honey....! When i was in highschool i was a member of a church choir for saturday afternoon's mass.... Everytime we're singing, every words in the lyrics flows through my veins like a small charge of electricity na hindi ko ma-explain.... I got so carried away by the moment that at the end of the day i felt so light and cleansed by something.... Sayang lang at hindi nagtagal ang group namin.... Part yan ng wish ko, if ever i will have the chance to go back and stay for good in pinas, i will sing again in the church.... =)
Pepe, if we reach out for help, it will in one way or another come just like a buoy from a shore. If you know what I mean. You are being tossed in a storm, but help came your way.
He was there all along to give you a hand.
Yeah i know what you mean Mari.... You've been through these not so long ago when the california bush fire broke-out didn't you....? It was a close call but maybe because of your prayers that time you and few others have been spared from a raging menace.... I'm glad that you've made it Mari....! He is really looking after us all the time....! =D
grabe ang testimonial mo pare. nagpalanindog man balahibo ko ba. pero u r right! ilang beses ko na yan naranasan na magkaproblema sa money pero God made the way. Hindi niya actually binibigay directly pero gumagawa Siya ng paraan o hinahadlangan Niya ang isang sitwasyon na mapagaan ang problema natin.
I really believe in the power of prayer especially kapag dumadalanin ka ng taimtim at malakas ang faith mo. Kaya minsan nagi-guilty ako kasi mahirap magbago automatically. Pero God knows naman how I struggled to be a better person He wants me to be. Minsan kasi madali ang magsabi pero mahirap gawin.
Ordinary na lang ngayon ang cancer of colon. Ang mga taong may malubhang sakit ay may sariling testimony rin about God. Dalawang tao na ang nagshare sa amin.
Malaki ang pasasalamat ko sa Diyos. God bless you Pepe. Advance happy birthday!
Thanks Red.... This is just one of those special days na i have proven that there's really someone behind all these happiness and hardships that we have in our lives.... Dutayan ko na malipatan nga birthday ko na gali soon....! Thanks sa pag-greet mo Red....! =D
i always believe that God always provides kaya yan pang kalma ko in times of troubles kasi never pa niya ako pinabayaan kahit ako laki ng pagkukulang ko sa kanya. Pepe, pwede pautang? lol! TC! God bless people with kind heart like u!
