Life, Love and Relationships

I realized something as I woke up last Monday. Sunday, I prayed to God to wake me up early for a swim. Kasi nga alam kong kailangan ko ng magbago ng lifestyle dahil tumataba na talaga ako at wala na akong exercise. Come Monday morning nagising ako dahil ihing-ihi na ako even before the alarm went off. I went to the CR and went back to bed and 3 minutes after the alarm went off. I was bargaining for more sleep and suddenly it struck me. There is God giving me the opportunity to exercise BUT my response is to not grab the opportunity. After this knock on the head, I got out of bed, changed and swam!!! I was so happy after.

Naisip ko ito in my life, the many times that I was given the opportunity to do something then my response is to back out.

God did His part, have I done mine?

1 araw na lang at matatapos na ang yugto ng buhay ko dito sa UOB.  Sa 9 na buwan kong pagtatrabaho dito e masasabi kong ‘it is worth my while’. 

God blessed me with new friends.  God deepened brotherhood and sisterhood.  Most important of all, God taught me a lot in the area of finding a friend in a pool of ‘enemies’.  Rather, looking at ‘enemies’ as friends in disguise. 

I have a colleague that really irritates me.  3 months before I resigned, fate played a big joke as I ended up seated beside him.  I prayed to God ‘bahala ka na sa akin, help me to overcome myself when dealing with him’.

God created music for so many reasons and one of it is to uncover a friend in disguise.  One fateful day, he was singing out loud and I started to laugh and ridiculed his singing.  That was the start of a friendship.

Ganon pala talaga yun, God taught me not to close any doors in getting to know a person.  God taught to give chance to friendship especially with friends in disguise.

Love your enemies as you love yourself.  The second commandment that I am praying to perfect…

For all of these, may God be praised!!!
