King and I


 A long time ago when I was 16, I was given the privellege to teach in a Sunday School at our church in Quezon City. There I taught kids about God and that's how I met King. King was a smart student. He easily memorizes the Bible verses. I will always remember him as a young boy who's eager to know God.


Last Sunday evening, my sister told me the news that he passed away due to acute Leukemia. In the  last Funeral Service tonight, I was asked to say something about him. I didn't write down what I want to say and when I stood there I just broke down to tears. I forgot to quote the Bible verse found in 2 Corintians 3:5: "To be absent in the body is to be present with the Lord."

I know he's with our Lord and Saviour now.

Whenever there's a death, it reminds us that life here on earth is very short. One thing that is certain in life is death, but it is also uncertain as we don't know when we will die. Pastor Jun would always say in funeral services that Christians don't die, they just merely sleep and on the second coming of Jesus Christ, the dead in Christ shall rise. We will all have glorified bodies.

If you want to have that everlasting life, then all you have to do is say this prayer:
"Father in the name of Jesus Christ, please forgive me for all my sins. I invite Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior and to rule my heart. Please send your Holy Spirit to help me obey You and to convict me when I sin. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen"

I welcome you to the Christian family! Go out and find a full gospel Christian church to help you grow.

Driving 101

My husband-to-be sent me to a driving school. Awesome. That's one of the coolest thing he said after "Will you marry me?" I was so happy and excited to get on the wheels. But yesterday.... it didn't meet my expectations. I thought it's easy.

He said it's just my first day and after three to four practices I should be okay. In my mind I was asking myself, "Why do I need to learn it?". He will drive for me anyway. Driving is driving me nuts! I need to look at my left side and right side, need to mind the gas and make sure it's 1.5 or 2. Tricycles and pedestrians, deep sigh. It's just too much thinking while driving. Why do I see the manong taxi drivers and jeepney driving looking very calm while driving? And why not me? Always in a panic state. I'm starting to hate driving.

I told my boyfriend everything I feel about this task. He said I will be okay, just needs practice. The reason why he wants me to learn is because it's good to know how to drive in case he's not around and I need to get something from somewhere. That's very nice of him. He empowers me and I like it.

I'm giving myself a chance. Today will be a better day and it will be a different instructor. I don't like yesterday's instructor because I think he lost his patience yesterday. I mistakenly shifted to gear four instead of two.

Mein erste Blog auf Deutsch

Im Flughafen:

Der Mann kommt.
Die Frau winkt.


Sie sind verliebt.

Er sagt:,, Auf wiedersehen"
Sie weint.
