Summer kay saya este kay pagod pala... tee hee. What else?

Sorry for all the guys there who want to view my blogsite in English. Maybe you'll either: 1. See my whole blogsite in English later on, or 2. I'll create a new blog in Blogdrive.com which has English entries on it. So there. Now, T.T.T. (Talking Tagalog Time). Sobrang nakakapagod itong summer na ito. At bakit? Binubudburan ka ng super-daming Hand-outs na sa huli ay hindi mo matatapos lahat. May mga gusto kang gawin pero sinisigawan ka ng iyong Problem set ng, "HOY!!! NIKKO!!! Bakit ka pa rin nagpro-procrastinate diyan!!! Nandito ako!!! Answer me!!!" Kailangan ka pa ring gumising ng maaga para sa una mong klase. Ewan ko ba. Feeling ko parang hindi na napahinga yung utak ko, pati na katawan ko. Hindi pa natatapos diyan. Kapag walang pasok, diretso sa tindahan at haharapin ang mga nakasimangot na customer na nagsasabi ng "Hoy, isang kilong purina nga." Ewan ko ba, maybe it's just because I've never talked to God in days, nagiging weekly na naman ang Quiet time ko. Maybe ito ang nararamdaman ng mga nakakalimot sa kanya. Nagiging drained sa kahit na ano'ng bagay. & then you start on doing things which you're not supposed to do, because if you did it, you sinned. One more sign from God na alalahanin siya: I was just listening last night to DZAS 702 when the program "Heartline" started to share some questions & answers which really answered some of the troubles I face until now. What was amazing is sunud-sunod yung mga tanong at sagot na nakasagot sa mga struggles ko ngayon. Feeling ko, si God parang, "Hey, son, did you forget me already? Am I still your first priority, or are you already obsessed with your struggles to the point you're already forgetting me?" Well, maybe it's time for me to go back to my roots - to know Him again who's our creator, & to love Him again more than anything else. I feel dry, maybe because I forgot that He's the living water. Maybe it's time to go back & be reconciled just like the prodigal son did. Hanggang dito na lang muna. May God bless us all in all our undertakings. Au revoir.

J.C.H.C. Punks! Unite! Hellig Usvart! Punx For Christ!!!

Oi! Para ito sa lahat. Meron ba kayong mga nararamdamang mga burden, lalung-lalo sa Philippine Music scene? Wala lamang... just envisioning (& also one of my petition kay Lord) yung magkaroon ng isang official Christian rock scene sa Philippines... yung hindi isolated sa secular market na parang sa Amerika... yung parang significant na talaga yung amount ng mga banda... Gusto kong mag-start ng isang hardcore oi! punk band na kapantay ng Underground JCHC scene sa Amerika... dahil una, walang katunog na genre ito ngayon (pwera na lamang kung nasa Pilipinas ka ngayon at buhay ka nung 1978-1990 wherein buhay na buhay ang old school punk rock sa Pilipinas) at pangalawa, yung burden na maiparating ang Good News sa milyon-milyong mga kabataan na sobrang na-infest ng media at ng fads ng panahong ito. Ang maging wasted. Gusto kong mag-start ng movement na magfufuel ng parang sa Amerika... yung Jesus Movement which paved the way for Jesus People USA & there came the Christian versions of punk subgenres... Undercover, Altar Boys, & then Crashdog tsaka Officer Negative. Asteeg. Naipapakita lamang dito na walang boundaries ang pagproclaim ng Word sa ibang tao. Tandaan din natin itong isang quotation na nakuha ko sa site ng United Liberation Front: "Needless to say, the term 'punk' does not have very many positive meanings to it. Don't let punk dictate how you live or how you think. Live by Christ's standards, not punk's."
