Share a Secret Spread Success "4S"

This is not the time to praise yourselves. Do you not know that a little yeast makes the whole mass of dough rise? 1 Co. 5:6 Hello mga kablogs! Kamusta kayo? Ako, heto parang super enjoy sa pagfafacebook. hehe. Dami ko tuloy mga dapat gawin. May ginawa akong video, habang hinihintay kong mag-upload sabi ko magbablog na muna ako. Wala ako sa posisyon para magbigay ng Success Secrets kasi hindi pa naman ako successful pero gusto ko pa ring ibahagi ang ilan sa mga secrets ko kung bakit feeling ko ay papunta ako sa pagiging successful. Siyempre, unang-una na dyan ay nagbabahagi nga ako, hindi lang kaunting Treasure (4S principle) pero nagbabahagi rin ako ng aking super duper precious Time (I'll explain more sa video na ginawa ko) at Talent (blogging at ilang mga techniques at paniniwala sa buhay). Gusto kong magfocus sa isa sa mga strategy ko sa buhay na pakiramdam ko ay talagang nakatulong ng higit sa akin kaya narating ko ang mga nararating ko (kung anuman iyon. hehe). Sarili ko lang...

Hello mga kablogs! Katatapos ko lang umattend ng service for Good Friday (Lord's Passion). Minsan, hindi ko maintindihan sarili ko. Taun-taon ko namang ginagawa pero taun-taon din akong naiiyak kapag veneration of the cross na. Siguro naaalala ko lang kapag Good Friday sa Pilipinas. Gaya nga ng palagi kong sinasabi, kapag Good Friday, kaming magkakabarkada nakaitim dapat tapos ala-una pa lang nasa court na kami kasi makikinig din kami ng 7 last words, tuloy-tuloy na iyon hanggang sa procession na naman. Kapag Good Friday, as in isnaban kami. Kahit nga sa bahay e, kanya-kanya. Paano ba naman, mga pagod lahat kaya pagkatapos ng procession sa umaga, kanya-kanyang tulog na at gigising na lang before 1pm. Wala ring kainan kasi number 1 nanay namin sa fasting. Maganda na rin na ganito kami nasanay na walang pansinan para super focused kaming lahat pagdating sa simbahan. Kapag Good Friday, asahan mo ang misa ay napakahaba. Ang haba-haba ng pagbasa at ang dami-daming extras. Kung hindi nga...

Hello mga kablogs! 10:59pm. In fairness, mas maaga akong nakauwi ngayon - hindi lagpas ng 10pm. Nyahaha. Bago ako magfocus sa pagbasa ngayong Holy Wednesday, magkukuwento lang ako saglit tungkol sa mga araw ko sa trabaho. Wala lang, parang hindi na ako tinantanan ng issues kaya nga kagabi kahit antok na antok ako kailangan ko pa ring magstay. Idagdag pa iyong mga pending bago ako magbakasyon kaya good luck sa things to do ko PENDING ISSUES PLUS ADDITIONAL ISSUES = STRESS. Kaninang umaga, gustuhin ko mang pumasok ng mas maaga sa normal kong pasok talagang nagpatagal ako. Feeling ko kulang na kulang ako sa pahinga kaya sabi ko Bahala na. Pagbangon ko, same rituals - basa ng bible, nood ng youtube, etc. Pagdating sa office - nagdasal (didache reflection), kumuha ng isang timbang tubig at sabak sa mga issues. Ang galing kasi unti-unti naming nakiclear ang mga issues tapos natuwa na lang ako na iyong mga critical issues na kinaharap namin, solved na pala. Natuto kasi ako sa reflection - pow...

Hello mga kablogs. Holy Tuesday na! Kaunting araw na lang. 11:12pm at antok na antok na talaga. hhhhayyyy. Ang hirap tuloy mag-isip ng ibablog. Ang pagbasa ay nakafocus kina Judas at Peter. Si Judas ang magkakanulo kay Lord at si Peter naman ang mag-kakaila. Parang narealize ko lang na mahirap talagang magtiwala sa tao kasi nga kahit kaibigan mo na maaari ka pa ring saksakin patalikod. Parang may mga taong isinilang para talaga masaktan ka. Pero kung titignan mo ang positive side ng mga pangyayari, kaya pala sila isinilang para masaktan ka and at the same time para patatagin ang pagkstao mo. Basta matibay ang pananampalataya nating everything that is happening to us is according to God's plan, kahit gaano pa kasagwa ang hitsura niyan, tingin mo pa rin maganda. Kahit na saktan ka ng mga tao sa paligid at para bang dinideadma ka nila, ang tingin mo pa rin may role sila sa buhay mo. Ayun lang. Sana kahit paano makatulong 'tong short and quick Holy Tuesday blog. God bless us all.

"The poor you always have with you, but you will not always have me." Jn. 12:8 Hello mga kablogs! Heto na itatype ko na iyong nasa isip at puso ko kahapon pa. Kailangang batahin ang antok para may magawa namang kabutihan kahit paano ngayong Holy Monday 2011. Ang ating pagtsitsismisan sa blog ko ay ang aking kaibigang si Maria. Siya ay promdi at gaya ko galing din siya sa mahirap na pamilya. Nagkataon lang na napag-aral siya ng kanyang mga magulang kaya nararanasang makapagtrabaho sa Maynila. Hindi naman kalakihan ang suweldo pero dahil nasa Maynila na, madaling-madali na lang sa kanyang makapunta sa Enchanted Kingdom (theme park sa Lagoona) at sa ibang magagandang lugar (Luneta, Manila Zoo, etc.). Kapag lumuluwas, palagi rin siyang nagsu-Supercat (the fare is more expensive than malaking barko) dahil sobrang hectic ng schedule kaya she can't afford to take roro dahil nga matagal ang biyahe. Muntik na akong maiyak habang isinasalaysay niya ang usapan ng kanyang ina matapo...

Blog 1 of 2 (Holy Monday and Palm Sunday) 10:40pm. Sobrang napakahirap talagang bumalik sa isang bagay na ginagawa mo after mong makapagbreak ng ilang araw. Bumangon pa rin naman ako at pumasok. Habang nagninilay-nilay kanina sa kung paano kaya kung bigla akong mawalan ng trabaho? Paano kaya kung maiba ang pangyayari at hindi naaayon sa kagustuhan ko? Paano kaya? Parang imbes na ganahan sa trabaho, lalo tuloy akong tinamad. Hanggang sa pag-uwi nga iniisip ko pa rin iyon. Bigla ko na lang naiconnect ang homilies nina Fr. sa Northpoint at Bishop Tagle - Jesus knew that he will suffer and die pero binata pa rin Niya ang cross Niya. Ilang beses din Siyang nagdasal kay God at palagi lang Niyang winawakasan na Your will be done. Iyong mga homilies na narinig ko, they both pointed out na ang cross ay hindi lang sign ng pagpapakasakit but also sign of victory. We all know na after 3 days ng pagkamatay ni Hesus, He will rise again. Bakit ko nga ba iisipin ang mangyayari sa akin? Marami akong p...

Hello mga kablogs! Sabi ko sa blog ko kahapon, durugtungan ko pero ang gusto kong ishare ngayon ay hindi iyong naisip kong idagdag nong Saturday. Saka na lang ulit iyon... Gusto ko lang ishare iyong pakiramdam ko kanina sa stations of the cross. Malayo pa ang Good Friday, may stations of the cross na?? Opo. Kung hindi kayo aware, lahat ng bansa mayroon niyan (sa tingin ko). Ginawa ko iyan sa Bermuda, sa Cincinnati hindi yata kasi masyadong maaga iyong schedule nila eh nasa office pa ako, tapos ngayon nga sa HK. Noong misa pa lang, sinasabi ko na sa sarili ko na pagbalik ko sa bahay magbu-book ako ng ticket to the Philippines dahil gusto kong maging meaningful ang holy week ko. Bago magsimula ang stations of the cross, sinabi ng leader na gawin daw naming meditative at reflective kaya naman nadala talaga ako ng mensahe ng paghihirap ni Hesus. Feeling ko nandoon ako habang pinapako Siya sa Krus. (Hindi naman ako naiyak, muntik lang) Kaya nga gustong-gusto kong ginugunita ang Triduum sa P...

This man welcomes sinners and eats with them... Father, I have sinned agains God and before you. I no longer deserve to be called your son. His father was so deeply moved with compassion that he ran out to meet him, threw his arms around his neck and kissed him. We shall celebrate and have a feast, for this son of mine was dead and has come back to life. He was lost and is found. And for that we had to rejoie and be glad. Hello mga kablogs. 6pm na rito na sana 5pm pa lang kung hindi dahil sa DST. Tuwing November ay nagbibigay sila ng 1 hour at binabawi naman kapag March. Wala lang nabanggit ko lang. This week, halos lahat yata ng mga don'ts ko ay ginawa ko. Isang halimbawa ay ang pagsali ko sa usapang nakakasira sa ibang tao. Marami pa pero hindi ko na sasabihin... Baka kasi lalong bumaba ang tingin niyo sa akin. Hehehe. Nararamdaman ko how Satan was tempting me do those things at ako naman na akala kong matatag na hindi madadala ng mga tukso, nakaya pa rin ni Taning. Narealize ko ...

Holy Saturday - Maraming pagbasa at kinakantang salmo sa madilim na simbahan (court). Ayan ang kapansin-pansin tuwing Sabado de Gloria. Ang pinakagusto ko naman ay kapag bubuksan na ang ilaw at kakantahin ang “Papuri.” Kung napansin niyo hindi kinakanta ang Papuri at Alleluia during lent kaya talagang nakakaexcite kapag muling maririnig. Para bang pakiramdam ng isang nanliligaw kapag narinig niya na ang “Yes, I love you too” ng nililigawan niya. Ito rin ang panahon na nirerenew natin ang ating pangako sa binyag. Sasagot sa mga tanong ni padre ng “Opo, sumasampalataya at Opo, itinatakwil namin.” Kaya ginagawa ito taun-taon dahil may isip na tayong magconfirm sa mga pananampalataya natin. Noong tayo’y bininyagan, ang mga ninong at ninang natin ang sumagot sa pari in behalf of us. Isa pa ipinapaalala ang ating faith. O diba, puwede ng kahalili ni Father sa homily. Hehehe. Magagaling ang mga parish priests sa SILP kaya natanim sa isip ko. Maraming kulang sa paliwanag pero makakatulong na r...

The First Word – (Luke 23:34) - “Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do” The Second Word – (Luke 23:43) - “Amen, I say to thee, today thou shalt be with me in Paradise.” The Third Word – (John 19:26-27) – “ Woman, behold thy son… Behold thy mother” The Fourth Word – (Mark 15:34) – “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken The Fifth Word- (John 19:28) – “I thirst. “ me?” The Sixth Word – (John 19:30) – “It is consummated.” The Seventh Word – (Luke 23:46) – “Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit.” Hello mga kablog! Gaya ng ipinangako ko, magbabahagi ako para sa 7 last words. Para sa kaalaman ng ibang bloggers, bukod sa Good Friday service, mayroon din kaming 7 sharers ng 7 last words sa San Isidro Labrador. Hindi ko pa naranasang magbahagi sa 7 last words kaya igagrab ko na ang opportunity ngayon. Habang pinagninilayan ko ang huling pitong wika ni Hesus, naisip kong magfocus sa mga OFWs. Noong una akala ko isang salita lang ang magagamit ko pero puwede ko palang...

Thursday of the Holy Week So when he had washed their feet and put his garments back on and reclined at table again, he said to them, "Do you realize what I have done for you? You call me 'teacher' and 'master,' and rightly so, for indeed I am. If I, therefore, the master and teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash one another's feet. I have given you a model to follow, so that as I have done for you, you should also do." Washing of the feet - Sigurado akong busy na naman si Nanay sa pagkumpleto ng plangganita, pitsel at mapuputing face towels na gagamitin sa ceremony mamaya. Ano nga ba talagang ibig sabihin ng paghuhugas ni Hesus ng mga paa ng mga alagad Niya? Ilagay na agad natin sa sitwasyon sa simbahan para mas madaling intindihin. Si Padre ang pinakapinuno sa parokya. Sa paghugas niya ng paa ng mga parishioners niya, ibig sabihin nagpapakumbaba siya. Ang paliwanag nga ng isang pari, bago mo raw mahugasan ang paa ng isang tao kailangan mong l...

Gospel Jn 13:21-33, 36-38 Reclining at table with his disciples, Jesus was deeply troubled and testified, "Amen, amen, I say to you, one of you will betray me." The disciples looked at one another, at a loss as to whom he meant. One of his disciples, the one whom Jesus loved, was reclining at Jesus' side. So Simon Peter nodded to him to find out whom he meant. He leaned back against Jesus' chest and said to him, "Master, who is it?" Jesus answered, "It is the one to whom I hand the morsel after I have dipped it." So he dipped the morsel and took it and handed it to Judas, son of Simon the Iscariot. After Judas took the morsel, Satan entered him. So Jesus said to him, "What you are going to do, do quickly." Now none of those reclining at table realized why he said this to him. Some thought that since Judas kept the money bag, Jesus had told him, "Buy what we need for the feast," or to give something to the poor. So Judas took the...

Gospel Jn 8:51-59 Jesus said to the Jews: "Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever keeps my word will never see death." So the Jews said to him, "Now we are sure that you are possessed. Abraham died, as did the prophets, yet you say, 'Whoever keeps my word will never taste death.' Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? Or the prophets, who died? Who do you make yourself out to be?" Jesus answered, "If I glorify myself, my glory is worth nothing; but it is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say, 'He is our God.' You do not know him, but I know him. And if I should say that I do not know him, I would be like you a liar. But I do know him and I keep his word. Abraham your father rejoiced to see my day; he saw it and was glad." So the Jews said to him, "You are not yet fifty years old and you have seen Abraham?" Jesus said to them, "Amen, amen, I say to you, before Abraham came to be, I AM." So they picked up ston...

Reading 1 Dn 3:14-20, 91-92, 95 King Nebuchadnezzar said: "Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, that you will not serve my god, or worship the golden statue that I set up? Be ready now to fall down and worship the statue I had made, whenever you hear the sound of the trumpet, flute, lyre, harp, psaltery, bagpipe, and all the other musical instruments; otherwise, you shall be instantly cast into the white-hot furnace; and who is the God who can deliver you out of my hands?" Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered King Nebuchadnezzar, "There is no need for us to defend ourselves before you in this matter. If our God, whom we serve, can save us from the white-hot furnace and from your hands, O king, may he save us! But even if he will not, know, O king, that we will not serve your god or worship the golden statue that you set up." King Nebuchadnezzar's face became livid with utter rage against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. He ordered the furnace to be h...

Reading 1 Nm 21:4-9 From Mount Hor the children of Israel set out on the Red Sea road, to bypass the land of Edom. But with their patience worn out by the journey, the people complained against God and Moses, "Why have you brought us up from Egypt to die in this desert, where there is no food or water? We are disgusted with this wretched food!" In punishment the LORD sent among the people saraph serpents, which bit the people so that many of them died. Then the people came to Moses and said, "We have sinned in complaining against the LORD and you. Pray the LORD to take the serpents away from us." So Moses prayed for the people, and the LORD said to Moses, "Make a saraph and mount it on a pole, and whoever looks at it after being bitten will live." Moses accordingly made a bronze serpent and mounted it on a pole, and whenever anyone who had been bitten by a serpent looked at the bronze serpent, he lived. Gospel Jn 8:21-30 Jesus said to the Pharisees: "...

Gospel Jn 8:1-11 Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. But early in the morning he arrived again in the temple area, and all the people started coming to him, and he sat down and taught them. Then the scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery and made her stand in the middle. They said to him, "Teacher, this woman was caught in the very act of committing adultery. Now in the law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. So what do you say?" They said this to test him, so that they could have some charge to bring against him. Jesus bent down and began to write on the ground with his finger. But when they continued asking him, he straightened up and said to them, "Let the one among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her." Again he bent down and wrote on the ground. And in response, they went away one by one, beginning with the elders. So he was left alone with the woman before him. Then Jesus straightened up and said to...

Gospel Jn 7:1-2, 10, 25-30 Jesus moved about within Galilee; he did not wish to travel in Judea, because the Jews were trying to kill him. But the Jewish feast of Tabernacles was near. But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, he himself also went up, not openly but as it were in secret. Some of the inhabitants of Jerusalem said, "Is he not the one they are trying to kill? And look, he is speaking openly and they say nothing to him. Could the authorities have realized that he is the Christ? But we know where he is from. When the Christ comes, no one will know where he is from." So Jesus cried out in the temple area as he was teaching and said, "You know me and also know where I am from. Yet I did not come on my own, but the one who sent me, whom you do not know, is true. I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me." So they tried to arrest him, but no one laid a hand upon him, because his hour had not yet come. Kapag ganito na ang pagbasa, ibig sabihin m...

Reading 1 Ex 32:7-14 The LORD said to Moses, "Go down at once to your people whom you brought out of the land of Egypt, for they have become depraved. They have soon turned aside from the way I pointed out to them, making for themselves a molten calf and worshiping it, sacrificing to it and crying out, 'This is your God, O Israel, who brought you out of the land of Egypt!' The LORD said to Moses, "I see how stiff-necked this people is. Let me alone, then, that my wrath may blaze up against them to consume them. Then I will make of you a great nation." But Moses implored the LORD, his God, saying, "Why, O LORD, should your wrath blaze up against your own people, whom you brought out of the land of Egypt with such great power and with so strong a hand? Why should the Egyptians say, 'With evil intent he brought them out, that he might kill them in the mountains and exterminate them from the face of the earth'? Let your blazing wrath die down; relent in ...

Gospel Lk 1:26-38 The angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town of Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the house of David, and the virgin's name was Mary. And coming to her, he said, "Hail, full of grace! The Lord is with you." But she was greatly troubled at what was said and pondered what sort of greeting this might be. Then the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name him Jesus. He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of David his father, and he will rule over the house of Jacob forever, and of his Kingdom there will be no end." But Mary said to the angel, "How can this be, since I have no relations with a man?" And the angel said to her in reply, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Ther...

Gospel Jn 5:1-16 There was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. Now there is in Jerusalem at the Sheep Gate a pool called in Hebrew Bethesda, with five porticoes. In these lay a large number of ill, blind, lame, and crippled. One man was there who had been ill for thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had been ill for a long time, he said to him, "Do you want to be well?" The sick man answered him, "Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; while I am on my way, someone else gets down there before me." Jesus said to him, "Rise, take up your mat, and walk." Immediately the man became well, took up his mat, and walked. Now that day was a sabbath. So the Jews said to the man who was cured, "It is the sabbath, and it is not lawful for you to carry your mat." He answered them, "The man who made me well told me, 'Take up your mat and walk.'" They asked him, ...
