mini bible study
heard a good homily today. and it actually stuck. glenn always asks me what the homily is about because he likes bible studying a lot, so it makes me have to remember them better. this was a good one:
The Gospel According to John (John 21:14-19)
14This was now the third time Jesus appeared to his disciples after he was raised from the dead.
Jesus Reinstates Peter
15When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon son of John, do you truly love me more than these?"
"Yes, Lord," he said, "you know that I love you."
Jesus said, "Feed my lambs."
16Again Jesus said, "Simon son of John, do you truly love me?"
He answered, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you."
Jesus said, "Take care of my sheep."
17The third time he said to him, "Simon son of John, do you love me?"
Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, "Do you love me?" He said, "Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you." 18Jesus said, "Feed my sheep. I tell you the truth, when you were younger you dressed yourself and went where you wanted; but when you are old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go." 19Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God. Then he said to him, "Follow me!"
There were three points that the priest made:
(1) We get very annoyed when people ask us the same thing over and over. So of course when Jesus kept asking Peter the same thing, Peter got annoyed. But Jesus was asking him three times in order to redeem those three times that Peter betrayed Jesus. He was giving Peter a chance to make up for the time that he turned against Him.
(2) The number 3 is very absolute in the bible. Jesus rose from the dead three times, Peter denied Him three times, and now, Peter has redeemed himself absolutely.
(3) With every question that Jesus asked and with every response that Peter gave, Jesus gave him a specific action to take. It is not enough to just say that we love Him. If we truly love Him, we must take action, do His work and follow Him.
i was talking with an old friend (now more of an acquaintance i guess) about purpose in life. he mentioned loving others and that's the main goal. it was simplistic and concise i thought. and i fully agree. but i added on to that thought with the works. i think we all have something that God wants us to do with our lives and if we love Him, we want to know what that is. we constantly offer up our daily works and actions to Him and pray that He will lead us toward the path He wants us to do. sometimes it's rather frustrating cuz we question if what we are doing is what He wants for our lives. and sometimes we want it to be just plainly told to us like a psychic would tell us our future. but then life wouldn't be a surprise anymore and i think it would take the fun out of it. i find that God-loving people just pray about all the decisions in their lives and for divine guidance.
and then there are some people who have an inkling of what their purpose is. but they're shy or unconfident about their abilities, or they're lazy or afraid of hard work. so they sit there praying, "are you sure, Lord? i'm not sure this is what you want of me, so i'll just wait and see what you continue to say." so they wait for signs or for doors to open or for doors to close. sometimes we kinda hope it'll close cuz we don't wanna do it, right? but then the same message comes across and still they're hesitant to do His work. i dunno, it's scary and all, cuz we're not sure of things. but for me, i can never be doubtful of God. He's the one being in my life that has never ever ever let me down. maybe He hasn't given me what i want, but He's never done or not done anything to harm me or let me down. it's always for my eventual good. so how can i ever doubt Him? i may be unsure of myself, i may not trust myself cuz of my inconsistencies, but i can't be unsure of God. He's the only one i can fully trust all the time. i hate change so much, and in this world of constant change and difficulty, His constance is my sole comfort. that's why if it's for Him, i do it. i can't say no. i'll stress myself out, work my weekends, all for Him. that's my Basta Ikaw, Lord!
-->i went a long time without blogging about anything significant. someone asked me to blog again. heheeh, be careful what you ask for!

good conversations
so busy with this and that and that and this... i had been trying to see imagining reality rehearse for the play. i tried 3 times and the first 2 i couldn't stay very long. but in those short moments, i had some great conversations. and great hugs. some people needed them, some people needed to give them. thank God for both. goodness, i miss hanging out with people. i miss the spontaneous ones especially. had the best time with ines and theresa at disneyland (yay, yearly passports!) a few months ago. had a great time catching up with joe and lisa dinglasan. those two are so super duper blessed people. doors just keep opening to them. and after their first year of marriage, they are so super in love and totally not sick of each other. lisa said something great last night. she said one of the best things is that they never lived together before getting married, so it's been a great time moving in together, getting to know each other on that different level. and that was so beautiful to me. i think there should be something different when people get married. a totally new beginning of a life joined together.
jei's party last week was really great too. saw old friends, but most of all, just sat, hung out, played with the baby (almost dropping him, decapitating him. but i caught him, i promise!). there was lots of laughter, some at my expense. and getting caught up with friends.
there was a time a lil while ago too when i hadn't seen people for a while and we went to a gathering and i told glenn, "it's nice to see people other than you." heheeh, i know it sounds bad. but seriously, variety is good. gl & i work together, hang out together all the time. i'm not complaining at all, but sometimes, you just need other people too, y'kno?
i miss listening to people and connecting with them. it doesn't happen often anymore. i mean, i've got to schedule every minute of the nights and weekends almost a month in advance. between people going out of town on business or school or whatever, it's so hard to pin people down. that's why i totally appreciate my low-maintenance friends. and when we do get together, we can connect easily and comfortably. it's the relationships and the constant connection that i miss. i love that part of life. i love watching relationships unfold. my parents and their ever-evolving relationship, newlyweds, mothers & daughters, boyfriend/girlfriends, old friends... i love their stories and lessons. i think i could just sit in a park all day and watch them interact together.
oh my goodness, there was this cute little couple after class on wednesday. the guy is my classmate, a totally nice, borderline nerdy guy. he left class right in front of me on wednesday and his girlfriend was waiting for him right outside and i totally gushed at how sweet they were to each other. they even walked in step together and went down the stairs at the same time, making very quick steps down, all the while holding hands with their fingers interlaced together. i was beaming the whole time they were in front of me and i just wanted to say, "awwwwww!!!"
a few weeks ago, i had a good conversation with melissa too. we just sat and chitchatted after first friday vigil at holy family. again, it was just really nice to connect with someone and get to know their thoughts and feelings better.
it'll be nice to have a 3-day weekend. hmmm, what to do, what to do... hey, here's a thought: let's get together!

do you know the name of the janitor of your office building/school/place you spend lots of time in other than your house?
imagining reality dress rehearsal
there are souls in this hall. you can feel their spirits and their presence. you can feel their pain, their sorrows, their joys. you feel how much work, emotion, and energy they have poured into this endeavor. and they are all beautiful people. IR cast & crew, thank you for allowing me to share these moments with you. you've all touched my heart and spirit!

i met Him....
i was running out of gas on monday so on my way home, i stopped at the 76 station in alhambra, right before the freeway entrance. i was tired and stressed out cuz my stupid speech class gets more and more ridiculous with every session. it's always crowded in that gas station cuz it's pretty cheap. so i waited my turn as usual and noticed this man going around washing people's windows. my windshield were filthy cuz my parents took my car to vegas last weekend. plus a there was a huge glob of bird poop that was till there. i was afraid it would eat through my glass again, like before. but i didn't think i'd have the guy wash the window. he seemed busy anyway, so i just went on my way pumping gas. he came by after a bit and asked me if i wanted my windshield washed and i was hesitant. it was late at night and i had literally no cash, so i asked him how much. he just said, "nothing, just whatever change you have." so i said okay, knowing that i only had a little over a dollar in quarters and some pennies. but he was such a kind man, asking me where i was coming from and where i was headed. we talked briefly about applying to nursing school and what freeway i was going to take to go home. it was the most comfortable, stress-relieving conversation. and when he was done, i gave him the very last bit of cash that i had, every single coin. and he told me that i had a very beautiful heart and to take care. it was the most uplifting moment of the week. i felt light like i had been touched by an angel. i'm glad i encountered that man and i know it was God's way of relieving me. i needed it.

killing time
it's a fabulous friday and i've been here at work since 8:30. i have officially killed off 3 hours and 25 minutes without any work done. i can't wait till this weekend kicks off! we're going on a date tonight and i'm excited! yes, i'm excited to see glenn too, but i'm excited about going to roy's!!! gl & i had a nice deal that i'd buy tickets to mamma mia and he'd get roy's. i've heard great reviews of this hawaiian-fusion restaurant, anywhere from the food network to personal recommendations from jongo & caroline.
mamma mia was fabulous, by the way! we saw it last sunday evening and it's the most fun show! it's really funny and quirky and the way they worked in all those ABBA songs was really clever! the commercial's true: it's dancing-in-the-aisle kind of fun! there were these two 7-8 yr old kids behind us and they totally got a kick out of the show too. i was surprised to see so many kids there, but they had a great time dancing in the aisle too.

hammerholds
thanx dee for the words:
Hammerholds
A shapeless piece of steel, that's all I claim to be
This hammer pounds to give me form, this flame, it melts my dreams
I glow with fire and fury, as I'm twisted like a vine
My final shape, my final form I'm sure I'm bound to find
So dream a little, dream for me in hopes that I'll remain
And cry a little, cry for me so I can bear the flames
And hurt a little, hurt for me my future is untold
But my dreams are not the issue here, for they, the hammer holds
And the water, it cools me gray, and the hurt's subdued somehow
I have my shape, this sharpened point, what is my purpose now?
And the question still remains, what am I to be?
Perhaps some perfect piece of art displayed for all to see
So dream a little, dream for me in hopes that I'll remain
And cry a little, cry for me so I can bear the flames
And hurt a little, hurt for me my future is untold
But my dreams are not the issue here, for they, the hammer holds
The hammer pounds again, but flames I do not feel
This force that drives me, helplessly, through flesh, and wood reveals
A burn that burns much deeper, it's more than I can stand
The reason for my life was to take the life of a guiltless man
So dream a little, dream for me in hopes that I'll remain
And cry a little, cry for me so I can bear the pain
And hurt a little, hurt for me, my future is so bold
But my dreams are not the issue here, for they, the hammer holds
This task before me may seem unclear
But it, my Maker holds.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
hehehe, glenn asked me what i thought of this song once and i told him, it's the nail talking! which it is! and he totally clowned on me, saying it's us. and well, heck, yeah, it is. it's a huge metaphor for us and how we are shaped by our Maker, slowly refined and polished through the pain and fire of our challenges and struggles. and the little nail is trying to figure out what his purpose is and only his Maker holds it.
i first heard it when jei sang it and i liked it lots. except jei tends to downplay his singing talent and i wish he would just own it and sing out strong. i'll catch glimpses of the strength of his voice every once in awhile and it's awesome. i love it. it's like catching glimpse of a falling star.

troy movie review
saw troy twice this past weekend! my personal review of the movie: the writing and the direction sucked, but brad pitt's character and hot body totally made up for it! i never saw the big deal about brad pitt before. i mean, he's good-looking and all, but i never was all ga-ga over the man. but then i guess i never really saw him mostly naked for an entire movie. with armor, without armor, with dirt and blood on him right after a brutal battle, or with only a robe on just after making love to briseus, ahhh, what a beautiful man he is. just his shoulders look really good, heck i bet even his elbow looks good!
his awesome character may have had something to do with his beauty as a man too. they really built his character to be very honorable, brave, strong, as well as truly caring and loving for those close to him. he has loyalty and respect for good men, but disdain for those who are just out for power and glory. in turn, his men are also loyal and respectful to him. all of these character traits contributed to his overall beauty, in addition to the hottest hard body he had. did i mention that already?
the fighting choreography was really good too. but like i said, the direction rather sucked cuz it was too up close most of the time and you couldn't see who was killing who.
there were good lines though. my favorite:
It is not an insult to call a dead man dead.
~Odysseus
there was a preview for the day after tomorrow and we were talking about it after the movie.
art: i totally wanna see "the day after yesterday"!
me: you mean today?
everyone laughs
me: hahahah, i wanna see "the day after today"
glenn: you mean tomorrow? hahaha!
it was great seeing an old friend too. we finally exchanged gifts from christmas and for his birthday too. till next movie night, art!

strange things around the street
my co-worker and i were walking along the sidewalk and had a strange encounter today. we saw a woman walking on the sidewalk approaching us looking very pissed off. we also saw her boyfriend in a car driving really slow along the other side of the street. he's driving really slow to the same pace as her walk, as she looks straight forward trying to ignore him.
girlfriend: F*** YOU!
boyfriend: i even brought you new underwear! i'm sorry!
girlfriend: F*** YOU!
boyfriend: c'mon babyy! i'm sorry!
girlfriend: i've been here since 12:30....... (then we walked out of earshot)
you should've seen hear face when he shouted the underwear comment for everyone on the street to hear. as soon as we passed by the woman, darren and i couldn't stop cracking up! it was 2:30pm at that time and we were trying to make up stories or scenarios that would possibly cause him to make that comment. she was soooo freakin pissed at him! and he had that i'm-begging-i'm-so-sorry-please-forgive-me whiney voice.

quotable quotes
-
"To try is to risk failure. But risk must be taken because the
greatest hazard of life is to risk nothing. The person who risks
nothing does nothing, has nothing, is nothing. He may avoid
suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn, feel, change,
grow, live, and love."
~unknown
"It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues."
~ Abraham Lincoln
"live a life that others will remember years from now, NOT because it pointed to you but because of how it pointed to the One who made you."
~ Mark Hart, the Bible Geek
"we grow up learning to become self-reliant, but really we need to be God-reliant"
"we could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors....but they all exist very nicely in the same box"
"never wound hearts that love u, never give them the endless pain, because wounded hearts are like roses that never bloom"
"there comes a time when we have to stop loving someone not because that person has stopped loving us but because we have found out that they'd be happier if we'd let go"
