I haven't blogged in a while. Yeah I'm such a lazy blogger. But since I heard mass last night, I know finally I have something to post.
Though Fr. Robleza's homily last night was a bit serious, he never fails to make us laugh. The homily focuses about blessings we received and will be receiving from Him. Kinuwento din nya yung mga taong nagpapabless sa kanya. Nagpapabless ng bahay, kotse, motorcycle, rosary, bible, religous artifacts, even new shoes (daw). But do we really know why we need the priest to bless them? Hindi dahil para paalisin ang mga mumu sa bahay at hindi para hindi mabangga o maaksidente sa daan. Ano bang winiwisik nila sa mga bagay na we want to be blessed? 'Di ba water. And water signifies life. They bless them simply because they also bless the person who owns it.
As he discusses about how should we give importance on our blessings, he stated the 3 D's that we should do and remember.
1. Design your own success.
What do you really want to happen in your future? How can we achieve it?
2. Do it for others.
Know the purpose on why and whom do we would do it for. Either we do it for our family, loved ones, for a friend, etc. They will be our inspiration. If you feel happy while doing it (example: work), it became valuable. But most especially, do it for Him.
3. Decide to be happy.
Find the eagerness. Feel the happiness in your heart. Be happy.

Bicycle
I got inspired again by Fr. Robleza last night. He shared in his homily the importance of God's Love. Nagkwento siya about this girl. Meron daw isang babae na merong isang malubha at nakakamatay na sakit. Dasal siya ng dasal kay Lord na sana gumaling na siya. She did all the possible things just to make her well again. Nagnonovena siya... After a week yata, a miracle has happened and she got cured. She thanked Him for everything 'coz she knows He answered her prayers. Sa kagalakan nya, she fell from her wheel chair. Mabuti na lang nandun ang kanyang asawa. Tinutulungan siya ng asawa nya pero nagpipilit na huwag daw siyang tulungan. Sabi ng babae, "Wag moko tulungan! Ikaw ang may kasalanan kung bakit ako nasa sitwasyon na toh." May naitatagong galit pala siya sa kanyang asawa. Sa sobrang galit nya, nanikip ang dibdib nya at tuluyan siyang namatay.
Ang kwento na iyong ay maihahambing sa isang bicycle. Ilan ba ang gulong ng isang bisikleta? Hindi ba dalawa? Ilang gulong ang pinapatakbo ng pedal? 'Di ba isa lang. Yung wheel sa likod. It just needs a front wheel for it to move forward.
Sa kwento naman, parang hindi dapat dinadaan lang sa dasal ang mga problema. Nagdasal ka nga, dininig Nya ang dasal mo PERO may naitatagong galit ka naman sa kapwa mo. Wala din..
Nakwento din ni Father yung tungkol sa magkapatid. Sabi ng kuya, "Nakakainis yung kapatid ko, Father. Inis na inis ako," Sabi naman ni father sa kanya, "Eh di patawarin mo." Sabi naman nya, "Eh pano father kung paulit ulit nyang iniinis ako?" Reply ni father, "Eh di patawarin mo ulit."
We don't need reasons for us to forgive. God doesn't choose people for His forgiveness. Kahit ano ka pa, tatanggapin at mamahalin ka Nya.
Just like the wheels in a bicycle, "We should love God for us to love our neighbor."

BER months
Today is officially the start of the BER months. BER months are the months that I love (syempre pati ang month of February!) Maraming may birthday like my Mom, Dad, Abby, Kuya Felix, Ate Beth, Kuya Lloyd, Ate Dith, Len, Ate Janice, Donna, at yung birthday ko din! :)
Malamig na ang panahon kasi magpapasko na! Wipee! Teka, wipee nga ba? Haha! Wipee kasi It's the birth of our Savior, I love receiving gifts, Christmas BONUS, Balikbayan box with loads of Pasalubongs (my VS lingerie that I requested!, tons of make-up, clothes, and chocolates of course!!!) from Mom & Dad and Ate Agnes & family, Christmas shopping (for myself, siblings, my honey, may inaanaks, etc.).. And definitely NOT wipee because of the gastos and my parents isn't here to celebrate it with us.. Aww sadness.
Today din ang aming 55th monthsary namin ni Honey :D We celebrated it last Saturday.. O.T yata kasi si Honey today. After lunch, Hon accompanied me first to my Oby check-up. Then, we went to SM Sta. Mesa. We beautifed ourselves in David's Salon. Hon got a haircut while I had my eyebrows for a "threading" and pedicure for me (super ouch pala magpa-threading, yes it's my first time!). Then, we watched "Big Stan"..Haha wala na kasing mapanuod tska I wanna watch something funny. After the movie, we just strolled around the mall. We ate dinner at JT's Manukan in San Juan. It's a restaurant owned by the renowned actor Joel Torre. Super sarap ng inasal nila, malaki ang part compared to other inasal restos. Maraming kumakain, yung iba halatang dinayo pa yung resto (just like us). I was with my Hon the whole day. :)
As for yesterday, I did my laundry and rested the whole afternoon. Then sa gabi, I heard mass with my bro and good thing si Fr. Robleza yung priest. I haven't been blogging about his homily recently. But I promise you that I still attend mass. His homily last night was quite funny and as always, inspiring. Kinuwento nya yung mga couples na kinasal nya. He explained the true essence of getting married. That there's a big difference between promises and VOWS. Dapat talaga super prepared ang mga couples before tieing the knot and get settled. I learned a lot from him, mas lumawak ang aking pagiisip about getting married. =)

Bon Voyage Mom & Dad!
Last Saturday, I was overly craving for some buttered shrimp. Lalo na yung galing sa Dampa.. While watching TV, bigla na lang ako nagsalita ng "Gusto ko ng buttered shrimp!" Haha! Everyone was busy helping Mom and Dad pack their clothes and "pasalubongs" so I guess no one heard me. Being so lazy at home, niyaya ko si Hon to go out watch a movie or something. Medyo biglaan yung pagkayaya ko sa kanya kasi I already said na wala munang lakad for this week (para magkasama muna sina Mom and Dad bago sila umalis). Pero wala eh, na-bored ako and I want to add my pasalubongs for my nephews and niece. Hon and I went shopping and ate at Max's Restaurant for dinner. Yum! As I went home, Mom told me to wrap the things I bought and include it in their package.
Sunday morning, I woke up and got so surprised about what Mom was doing. Kagagaling lang daw nya sa palengke, bumili ng isang kilong sugpo at hinuhugasan na ang mga ito.. Awww.. Sobrang na-touched ako. Akala ko walang pumansin sa pagkaka-crave ko sa shrimp kahapon. Mom has been so sweet and thoughtful. Eto talaga mamimiss ko. I gave her a big and loving hug. Sabi ko, "Mamita 'wag ka na umalis".. Sabi naman nya,"Ayaw mo bang makapunta din sa Amerika?" "Syempre gusto ko!" Haay... 2-Despedida party nila and some of our relatives from my father's side came.. I ordered food from Amber's. Ohh I love their pichi pitchi! I stayed most of my time in our parent's room.. Tinatabihan lang si Mamita, nanunuod ng TV habang nakahiga. Crowded na kasi sa baba tska at least kasama ko si mom lang muna. At 8:30pm, we heard mass in Don Bosco. Buti na lang si Fr. Robleza. I know Mom and Dad will surely miss his homily.
Woke up because of the noise coming from downstairs, nagsidatingan na pala mga bisita! At oo hinapon na ako ng gising, haha! Day2 of their despedida party and Day of their flight. Waaah... Madaming dumating na mga kamag-anak ule, mostly naman from mother's side. Of course, kailangan si Hon dumating din. He brought cake from Red Ribbon. Actually, sinamahan ko siyang bumili sa Red Ribbon. Pumunta din naman ako dun for last minute shopping for Abby's accessories. Pag-uwi namin jampacked ang bahay, nakatambay na nga ibang mga pinsan ko sa labas. Haha! Cake galore for meryenda. I helped Ate Beth for last minute packing and labeling their luggage. Foodtrip, picture-picture, kwentuhan.. Kumain muna ng masaganang dinner bago pumunta kami sa airport. Habang nasa van, sobrang paghahabilin sa aming magkakapatid. Kita kits na lang sa webcam, laging maginggat, huwag muna magaasawa(haha! para ma-migrate din kami), security sa bahay, yung kotse.. lahat lahat na. Hindi ako naiiyak pero syempre alam ko mamimiss ko sila. Mga 3 years ba naman silang mawawala, after 3 months siguro maiiyak na lang ako sa sobrang pagkakamiss. Iniisip ko na lang sa ngayon, umalis sila with a purpose. Iniisip ko na lang muna na nasa Pangasinan lang sila.
Sa ganitong oras siguro nasa California na sila.. Haaay.. Mamimiss ko kayo Mom and Dad! See yah soon.. May webcam naman. Pasalubong ko ha.. hehe! :)

Butiks
Long time no blog about Fr. Robleza's sunday mass sermon. Minsan kasi he's not the assigned priest during the 8:30 mass.. For 3 consecutive sunday, siya ang nag-misa. It really excites me when I attend mass and know that he would be the priest. I'm sure the homily would be nice and inspiring again.
His homily a while ago is still fresh in my mind. (Of course that was just an hour ago..haha!) Anyway, he started the homily with an old story about a butiki. In a restaurant, a butiki fell from the ceiling. Everyone in the restaurant had different reactions. A kikay girl shouted "Eeew, there's a butiks!" A call center agent dude also got shocked and said "Oh man, it's a small lizard." While the son of a rich clan called his mom and said "Mom, look it's lacoste!" Haha! Mga tao nga naman ngayon eh noh.. Ano man itawag natin dyan, butiki lang yan.. a 4 legged creature.
