Busy week next week... & then the composition... zzz...

OK. Ngayon lang ulit ako nag-post after a week (nga ba?). Oh well. Ang dami kong naka-schedule na gagawin next week. Nandiyan na ang limang laboratory reports sa Chem 127.1 plus yung mga data para sa Comm II. Syempre 'di mawawala 'yung dalawang exam next week (actually quiz lang yung sa monday sa Comm II, & then the first departmental sa Chem 127). Meron pa'ng ipapasang DNA recombination technique sa Biochem 121, plus yung tatlong journals for the seminar sa Biochem 198. Hindi ko pa sure kung kailan yung Chem 157 exam namin... Tapos may reporting pa sa PE 1 sa Friday at kami pa nung PolSci guy ang unang magre-report. Pagkatapos may DPSM week pa, plus yung composition pa para kay Kuya Dave... hayyy... Sana talaga matulungan ako ni Lord sa mga endeavors ko... Baka dahil sa kakulangan sa QT... Sa ngayon, wala lang naman... ini-rerelax ko pa lamang ang sarili ko plus naghahanda na rin for next week. Dapat pala mas nabibigyan natin ng pansin ang ating mga SL's para hindi tayo maging "down in the dumps" pagdating ng panahon. Maybe I'll start having the conversation (& yeah, the connection) with the Father again... Maybe because I'm prioritizing a lot of things rather than the One I needed most & should have the "bonding time" with. Baka eto ang ipinararating Niya sa akin. Maybe I forgot to ask for help. Maybe I forgot to ask for His spirit. Maybe I became selfish. What's left for me is that I call on Him & be the captain of my life again. So yeah, maybe that's it. Hanggang dito na lang muna sa posting na ito.

Hindi maganda ang nararamdaman, pero OK lang...

Well... ewan ko ba ngayon kung ano'ng virii specie ang kumapit sa akin para ako'y magkaroon ng extreme colds ngayon. Hirap ngayong huminga, ngunit I keep on moving pa rin. Kahit na under the weather yung nararamdaman ko ngayon masaya pa rin ako dahil sa maraming bagay... unang-una na diyan yung successful na pagsisimula ng CG namin (CG means cell group) at ang pagiging active ng mga bagong tao... & also ang pagdami ng tao na sumasali sa EsVee. Nawa'y patuloy na gamitin ni Lord ang EsVee sa pag-share ng Kanyang word; sa pag-eevangelize ng ibang tao. Nandiyan din ang pa ang pagdating ng mga matagal ko na'ng hindi nakikita na mga tao... sila Kuya Erwin, Tariratski, si Ids... at pati ang pagbisita ng mga IV pipz from other campuses, katulad na lamang ni Herald (na ka-SG or small group ni Ka Peryo nung nasa LC-DC pa siya). Ano pa ba? Isa-isa kong nakikilala sa aming org kung sino ang kaparehas ko ng hilig sa... syempre (ano pa nga ba?) sa Rock CCM. Andiyan sila Faith, Zai, & Anniefair na na-impluwensiyahan ko ng Relient K, si Ida na kapwa ko Switchfoot fan, si JC na ikinagulat ko na nakikinig ng mga bandang katulad ng Number One Gun, Acceptance, Emery, Mae, at Anberlin. Also din si Herald kanina na nakikinig ng isang local na Against-The-Flow band na Battery at katulad ko na naka-diskubre din ng Rock Hardcore CCM. Ewan ko ba, pero kahit mukhang malala na 'yung sitwasyon ko ay ever thankful (& grateful) pa rin ako kay God... at masaya pa rin. Sana magpatuloy itong fire na ito... sana rin magtuloy-tuloy pa 'yung quiet time na binibigay pa rin niya sa akin ever since.

"Always Under Construction" at ang mga ibang surpresa

Eto na naman ako... nasa stage na ako ng pagsasa-ayos ng lahat ng mga bagay na related sa akin which could take ten years? (Ha ha hindi naman siguro) Oh well, ganun naman, e. We're always under construction - parang sa tunay na buhay. Balik uli ako sa aking mga ka-adikan... Dati (siguro mga one year ago na) nung pag-check ko ng Friendster account ko... na-try kong hanapin sa buong Friendster kung sinu-sino ang mga nakikinig sa mga bandang kinahihiligan ko nung mga panahon na iyon (actually hanggang ngayon pa rin naman) na nag-pe-play ng heavy stuff pero merong Christian elements... tin-ry ko muna yung "Demon Hunter" sa Music preferences. Aba! Nakakita ako ng anim na tao (including 'yung sarili ko) which means sa lahat ng may Friendster account (na most of them ay Filipinos), anim lang kami ang nakikinig ng Demon Hunter. Sumunod naman Living Sacrifice... Aba! Apat lang kami. Magkaiba pa yung mga fans ng Demon Hunter sa mga fans ng Living Sacrifice. Doon sa latter na band puro mga old school yung hilig nung mga taong may preference doon sa band. Sa pangkalahatan... hindi umaabot lagpas sa sampu yung mga nakikinig ng Heavy Rock CCM, merong naalala pa nga ako one time e... March yata 'yun of last year... nung pag-type ko sa Music Preferences ng "Far-Less"... Aba! Ako lang ang lumabas sa search results ng Friendster. Nakakagulat ang pagbabago ng panahon... ngayon kapag pumupunta ako sa site ng Against The Flow ay meron na akong nakikitang "Of The Son" o kaya naman meron nang mga taong nakakakilala sa mga bandang katulad ng One-21 at Officer Negative. Astig talaga si Lord at binigyan niya ang Philippines ng isang show na nasabi na nag-sho-showcase ng ganoong genre ng CCM. Hindi naman sa may biases ako sa mga genres (actually I also listen to some Avalon & Stacie Orrico songs, also KJ-52) ngunit medyo nakalakihan ko na yung mga heavy stuff... Wala lang actually... na-amaze lang ako sa mga pagbabago sa rock music scene... Unti-unti ng pinapasok ng mga Rock CCM bands ang mainstream rock music scene... Unang-una 'yung Jars Of Clay, tapos DC Talk, tapos naman Switchfoot, then Lifehouse, Sixpence None The Richer, tapos biglang umarangkada 'yung P.O.D., Thousand Foot Krutch, UnderOath, The Afters, Acceptance, at lately, Anberlin... He he... hanggang dito na lang po muna...

A Tiring Day Supposedly, But Resisted By A Dose of Ginseng

Nakakapagod itong araw na ito... fulfilling din. Although I failed to have a quiet time this morning, Marami pa ring realizations na dumating sa akin: Unang-una hwag maging sobrang panicky. Nangyari sa akin kanina ito... Mula sa pagpreprepare para sa isang departmental exam sa Biochem 131. Ineexpect ko na gagawa kami ng mga Cleland Diagrams ng ilang mga reactions sa iba't-ibang reaction pathways. 'Yun pala pinasagot lang pala sa amin mga simple mechanisms, given reactants & products na. Nasayang tuloy yung mga oras na dapat ini-spend ko for a total conversation with Him. But even though sometimes we stray away, He's always there for us... waiting for us to come back to Him. I'm so glad nakashare ako ng ilang Relient K songs (naka-impluensiya ako he he) & what's good about it is some of the songs speak about the realities that some of us encounter when we walk in the faith. One of them is mentioned in a song by them called "I So Hate Consequences". It speaks about the absurdity of running away from the mistakes that we've done, because we're still afraid to face the consequences. It also speaks about yung infinity pa rin ng love Niya sa atin, even though we've fallen into a pit, so long as we go back to Him & repent & make Him the captain of our lives. In short, even though palagi tayong nagkakamali willing pa rin naman Siyang magpatawad. Bibigyan nga lang tayo ng punishments, to learn from our mistakes, because His love for us is too much, we're even more worthy than a thousand sparrows. Kung baga sa isang magulang, gusto Niya yung best para sa ating lahat, 'di ba? Because we are His children, His creation. & we are created not just to satisfy ourselves with the ultimate delights of this world, but only just to glorify Him. We Exist only for Him. Naalala ko tuloy yung isang kanta na naging my LSS sa Against The Flow sa NU -- It's "Even When" by Seven Places. The chorus goes like this -- "Even when my eyes are dry, even when my soul is tired even when my hands are heavy, I will lift them up to You It's not about how I feel, oh Lord I am here for You. I exist for you." OK yun lang muna... The Northern Wolf is signing-off...

It's already nighttime... but I still have a lot of things to do

This is the third blog I created & still I really have no idea on how I could work things... Oh well, just keep posted. I don't know if this blog server ever allowed html editing... Whew! That's all for now folks.
