"God our Father, we are exceedingly frail and indisposed to every virtuous and gallant undertaking. Strengthen our weakness, we beseech you, that we may do valiantly in this spiritual war; help us against our worn negligence and cowardice, and defend us from the treachery of our unfaithful hearts; for Jesus Christ's sake."
-Prayer of Thomas a Kempis
God bless! ^____^

Holy Tuesday
"Give me, O Lord, a steadfast heart which no unworthy thought can drag downwards; an unconquered heart which no tribulation can wear out; an upright heart which no unworthy purpose may tempt aside. Bestow upon me also, O Lord my God, understanding to know you, diligence to seek you, wisdom to find you, and a faithfulness that may finally embrace you; through Jesus Christ, our Lord."
-Prayer of St. Thomas Aquinas
God bless! ^____^

An Eventful Day
I was running late for my last Bioethics class (9 am). My sister and I tried to ride a cab but the taxi drivers didn't want to go the other way. So at around 9:15, we ended up commuting. I was preparing for a not so nice entrance for our class when I noticed that Doc J was in the same jeepney. When we got off, I was walking behind him because I didn't want him to notice me. But he did and he asked me what I wanted to do in the lab (I applied for his lab - Molecular Toxicology Research Laboratory). We discussed what were to be done in the lab for its present projects. I probably listened more than talked so I don't think that makes a good interview. Haha. Though, I did squeeze my brain for answers and I believe I did my best despite the shyness. ^__^
We had a game review in our Molecular Biophysics class which was really fun. Sir Neil's a very creative and concerned teacher. ^__^ Thanks, Sir! :D After our last Bioethics and Molecular Biophysics classes, we went out for lunch at KFC in Technohub. Gihan and I talked to Chinabank's (?) Kuya Guard again. :)) Then, happy lunch with friends. ^__^
Back at Albert, we watched the japanese movie 'A Girl Who Leapt Through Time'. I didn't get to finish it, though. At around 3:45, I went to Daniw to meet with Ate Berna. We did a pilgrimage from Daniw to Our Lady of Pentecost Church. Then, I went back to Albert for the Miting de Avance which I had to attend because I was part of the Electoral Board. Early in the assembly, I was shy to ask the candidates. But later on, the Lord gave me the courage to voice out my concerns. :) I felt good afterwards that I finally aired my views.
The meeting finished at around 8 but I still had to go to the hardware in Trinoma to find materials for our biophysical model. My friends were also going to have dinner so I came with them. We were supposed to go to Trinoma to check if the hardware was still open but we ended up going to Tomas Morato to have dinner. Somewhere in Panay St., however, the car was hit from behind by a cab. We were slightly shocked but didn't really panic.:) The Lord surely had a purpose, especially for Leonard who had his 5th car accident for the week :) Later, we drove to Police Station 10, somewhere in Kamuning, to fix the matter. We were relieved when Leonard's dad arrived. It's always comforting to see your parents when you're in a pinch. .^__^ They're always there to help us and save us from whatever unfortunate circumstance. :)
I sent a message to my mom saying where I was and what happened. I didn't want to tell her at first because I knew she was going to panic. But, she has the right to know so I told her. :) She called and I heard anger in her voice. She told me that they were going to fetch me right away. She scolded me in the car but I knew it was my fault. I should've went home after the miting de avance, or I could've said no when a friend said we eat at Tomas Morato.
I learned a lot, Lord ^___^
God bless!

A Heart in Tatters
Anywhere I go, my heart gets beaten up.
Anywhere I run, my battered heart can't find refuge.
Like a damaged ship seeking an intermediary port, I wander. But, I find none. At this point in my voyage, all such docks have gone.
Only in You will I find rest..
Father, please pull me out..:)

Change
Things change but we don't always want them to. :) It's sad that the deepest friendship I have is not the same as before.
I'll miss the times when we can talk about anything - from our favorite icecream flavor (naaalala ko pa un! kahit ilang years ago na :)) ) to our Faith. We can talk about anything without getting annoyed at each other ;P We respect each other's views but we learn from each other as well :).
With you, I found a friendship deeper than all I ever had. I've found a mentor, a friend, and a Kuya.
Whatever I did, you stayed with me...
It's really hard for me not to be sad about your decision. It saddens me to feel that you're drifting away and you can't tell me why.
But, I trust you. :)
You always respected my decisions and you were always willing to give me what I thought was best.
It's my turn now..:)
I'll always be here. Always..:)
I love you, Buddy! ^__^
God bless :)
