Kiddie party @ 17

Last December 13, 2010 around 10:00 am up to 12 in the afternoon, the Block B of 2nd year students enrolled in Development Communication, celebrates their Kiddie Christmas part 2010.

All the fun were started in the building 205. All the students including the teacher were asked to dressed up for the event. Games, group activities such as : presentations, chants and banner competition are held. There were four teams organized with different tasks assigned in the class, namely: Blue job for the program, pink panties for the decoration concerns, Red riding hood as prizes committee and green minded for the cute games. Everyone had fun and the chance to put everything the theories learned into action during their Interpersonal Communication (IPC) session with our professor Ms. Tolinero- who was very supportive and affirmative during the party. The students were not just learning in the four walled classroom but even in the real organizing of social gathering such as these.

Though I am 17 years old now, I still enjoyed the kiddie party we had, before our Christmas break. As I look back in my childhood days where I wasn't able to enjoy it due to some family and self identity trouble, I felt so sad. Yet still the Lord is so good. He let me experienced how it is to e a child in that short span of time, and I really treasure the moment I had with my block mates. Thanks to my Father in heaven, who dearly love me as His own.

Praise be to Jesus forever!

Acknowledging the Source

Here on the world we live in, are full of rules and regulations to follow. For us to have a harmonious living. If someone fails to abide, punishment will be received by the law breaker.

Even in the early journalism period and during our major Devcomm major subject since last year, Plagiarism was already a big issue and should be a "No-no" to us communication practitioners.

What is Plagiarism?

Plagiarism is the act of taking another person's writing, conversation, song, or even idea and passing it off as your own. This includes information from web pages, books, songs, television shows, email messages, interviews, articles, artworks or any other medium. Whenever you paraphrase, summarize, or take words, phrases, or sentences from another person's work, it is necessary to indicate the source of the information within your paper using an internal citation. It is not enough to just list the source in a bibliography at the end of your paper. Failing to properly quote, cite or acknowledge someone else's words or ideas with an internal citation is plagiarism.

A concrete example of it is that my personal experience way back high school. Everytime we were told to do some research work/ assignment and more, then copy-paste the content, we need to acknowledge the source of it. This leads me to my learning in our major subject about how important it is to acknowledging the source of every researches done.

Like the same way in the content of following Christ. In everything we need to give thanks to Him. Acknowledge Him as the source of  our breathe, status in life, salvation, family, being - our everything.

When we quote some passages in the Bible, lets acknowledge God as the owner of it and not us. the preaching of our dear pastors and priest, for we often say it that their preachings had strike us most. It was not them who had touch dour lives, but it is our Lord Jesus Christ Word, as His word says that the Word of God (Scripture) is described as a spiritual weapon of great power--in this case, a sword that cuts straight to the heart. It cuts past excuses and defenses, and confronts us with its truth. Hebrews 4:12. Therefore it is not the person who talks about God change us, but the one who was the source of everything in that certain person as this person was used By the Almighty as His instrument to have an impact in our lives.

Other thing is that when the praise and worship sang songs, where God's presence is acknowledge. 

How would you feel that you are the guest of a certain celebration, yet you were not recognized?

That would be possibly, God's emotion too. Think about this.

Is it really possible to give thanks in all circumstances, no matter how bad? This doesn't mean we need to be thankful for every turn of events in our lives, but it does mean we are to cultivate a thankful spirit--giving thanks for the good things in life, and looking for ways in which God brings blessings out of even the most difficult experiences.1Thessalonians 5:18. 

To you be the Glory forever Lord.

Healing of the Past process

Upon reading my Devotional book entitled Great Days with great Lives (GDGL) today in Exodus 4: 27-28, I was reminded in my session with my Ms. Chelo Mapano a Psychologists, who will help me in my healing of the past process. The test is all about the need of companion. I know how does it feel to be alone like Moses. No one can take a break And listen to you. Nobody can tap you at the back and say, Can we talk for a moment? How are you my dear? Can you share your burdens/concerns? That we pray for it. 

How I wish to be comforted, to be embraced by someone then pray for me. all through my life, I was struggling in myself. Settling things alone, all fighting alone.

Then I dare myself one day, to earnestly pray to God fro a buddy system- back up. I prayed day and night, Mondays up to Sundays...I never stopped praying until such time that |I became one of the LDP batch14. There in our Christian Youth Leaders Admission's Week (CYLAW) 2009, where I felt that I was one of the final set of Leadership Development Program (LDP) Scholars of Compassion Philippines already. and the P.I.N.O.Y (orientation) comes, I can't believe it, that as I earnestly pray to God for a buddy, School or university to be enrolled in- an opportunity to pursue my tertiary education will come true. Thank you Lord for providing everything I need, as your daughter.

The Key: A Nightmare (Maotah oi...!)

Last night my eyes was filled with tears, nanghubag jud among mata sa akong manghud na si Sharrah sa paghinilak. We were so worried of what our mother had told us. She said, " Andam kaayo ko, e claim na maimpyerno ko ."- we were so bothered with her statement that night. To the point that iot can't prevent me to think of something bad toward her.

Because after she scolded us for such a little thing, she told us that " Ayaw namo pagila og inahn ha, wala ankoy anak sugod karon, maga wala moy pulos, may pag wala koy anak... nag basol jud ko na nahimo tamong anak." we were push to flee to Canito-an, Scions(my anutie Ellen's place) and settle for a moment there with our grandmother Ignacia/ Ising.

While we were inside the taxi, I was thinking of possible things she could do at home,(mag las-las; mag bigti; o even stub herself to death) for she was all alone there and it brings me back of her clamor na gikapoy na daw siya. Very tragic and pessimistic right? As human as I was, you can't take that out of me.

I keep on begging God to grant us the grace. Na sana hindi mandilim ang kanyang paningin ng aking inay at baka mapasama pasiya. We (lola Ising, Sharrah and i) interceded for her, that may the Lord grant her peace, forgiveness, protection and true salvation for her, before we went to sleep. we cried and cried even though we lie already in our beds.

Then i woke up with a bad dream of...

There was a teacher of Xavier University who hired me for a work. She keeps on hiring me. When I was convinced, I worked with her as to analyze dead bodies regarding on their death reasons. Then we met a lot of dead spirits, who greeted both of us. Soon, she needs to leave the working area for she was promoted to some big salary offer of work The said teacher then recommended me to replace her in her work. A key then was given to me. That key opens the door where dead bodies are to be observed or investigate. 

Later on, I find out that the teacher was also a ghost. A little while she passes through a lot of cabinets and walls that confirms me, that she is dead already. Later on a large number of spirits to were introduced to me. Theses are the spirits who were dead. They are convincing me to accept the offer of job replacement.But I told them that I need time to decide.I asked the teacher what are the things to be done in conducting the investigation/ work and I list them all.

Then the scenario turned into the room of dead bodies where it is to be investigated. The body has the marked of the beast- 666 on its back. I told myself, this is not of the Lord. Then I woke up, with my Lola who will open the door for  my Auntie Ellen and cousin Errell, who rose early to attend the traditional Simbang Gabi of Catholic people. 

I attempted to share it to my lola but I failed to , for she wasn't interested at all.Yet instead it was you and my siter sharrah takes time to listen or read to my dream.

Please pray for my family's full and genuine salvation. I am so burdened with what my mothered had uttered. She is willing to trade her soul to the enemy, because anger had darkened her heart. I'm sorry Lord Jesus Christ. Forgive me, forgive us for we have sinned and set the fire of anger towards our mother. Forgive our mother also for she doesn't know what she was talking about. May You grant me the grace of unlocking and be strong the real meaning of this dream i had last night. 

May the Lord Jesus Christ covers us with His precious blood, seal us with His Holy Spirit and showered us with grace and blessing.

Let's be watchful always.
