an excerpt from "Fireproof remix"
"...He's not interested in me and my problems", - son
" i disagree. i'd say, He's VERY interested in them, "- dad

while i was watching CNN weather report, a quick view on the whole earth's weather status was being presented through the computerized satellite view of the earth..it showed a very narrow path of the direction of rain showers. it was really narrow that it would not have been just luck that it hit the Philippines in a vertical line. the reporter said, " rain is expected in the Philippines...but it needs much of it right now"...
It could have hit somewhere else...but it was so like specifically targeted in the Philippines like a ray of an arrow.

we've nullified the reports of "El Niño" when we were praying "Let it Rain" a couple of times at church. God is sovereign, i say.
***
my sister and i conversed while we were about to sleep. she voiced out that she kind of felt that something terrible would happen during the election...
i told her," what happened to our long hours and days of prayers? what use are they when you don't believe that God is able to do the things that are impossible? we prayed that those fears of your would not come to pass..."

rain.water....i love it. water is like very close to my heart. i always call myself hydrophyllic. i drink about 2 liters of water a day. i'd prefer plain water's taste than any beverage with some flavors.
and i do swimming, my favorite sport, because there's water. when i swim, the water soothes my body as to my soul. my problems seem gone. the water washes them away. there's ecstasy in breathing in and breathing out while submerged intermittently in the water.

perhaps, there's Sovereign intervention even in the weather of the Philippines...how about a Sovereign intervention in this decaying corruption, cheating, immorality of this nation?...how about a Sovereign intervention in my life that has much drama now?

" This water flows toward the eastern region, and goes down to...Swarms of living creatures will live wherever the river flows. .."- Ezekiel 47:7, 9
"JESUS answered her, "If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water."-John 4:10

Dreaming of New York & Italy
literally. I just dreamt that I was goin around New York and Italy.
Oh God knows I miss travelling. When my friend asked me where I would go this year, I just said, "no plans. focusing on studying.".
well, i thought i could simply dump the desire. but this day's dream awakened me once again of that innate longing to be in a certain place that's foreign. new people. new faces. new weather...there's this obscurity that awaits for me.
i love it. it's like being a new person. y'know. when you are in a place no one knows you, it seems like you can be what you wanna be. if a person may judge you there, iit doesn't seem to affect much coz, anyway, you won't be with them long. you are free to be unsophisticated or free to wear that strange outfit of yours that your mom, relatives, or acuaintances in the Philippines would normallly comment on.
the scenes, the colors, the temperature...the ambience and the feel of it all...it's like so different that you would wonder what would you be given these different time and space.
financial reasons are the only hindrances i can think of as of the moment. i know that for some they may not see traveling for 60 thousand pesos or more as worth it. but the experience is worthless. i do believe that something happens in you as a person when you get out of that place where no one knows you and most of the scene is different from where you have been for so long. i still think of it as a worthy experience where you would understand other people and yourself better. i can spend as much just for travelling. i don't think of it as a waste at all.
if i had the money and if God willed it, i would still travel.
probably, to New York and Italy.

If I can see it, then I can be it,
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it...
I believe I can fly...
I believe I can touch the sky...
If I just spread my wings...I can fly.
