2011 November 24 is Thanksgiving Day. An American holiday that have a big roasted turkey on the banquet as what I saw on the Smallville Series. Lol! Anyways, it is a holiday wherein the American give thanks to Lord for guiding them safe & making their harvest bountiful & productive, that is according to wiki. Eventhough its not customarily observed in the Philippines and not one of the Filipino tradition and even not in the calendars lists of holiday, I wanted to share, what I am thankful for this year.
1. LIFE. For another year that past, though its been a rough road journey, I'm very much thankful for everyday's breath that's coming out on my mouth. Everytime that I opened my eyes from the whole night sleep means another hope, goodness & knowledge are going to share to others.
2. LOVE & SUPPORT. For those peoples who believes, respects & trusts me. From my family, friends, everydays companion, everyone that I met, & even those who hated me. With you all, I still continue learning lessons in life & still continue forgiving. Even in our differences I know we are still connected.
3. HEALTH. As I celebrates an almost a decade living abroad of being an OFW. Good Health never left me. Though sometimes I felt weak, it doesn't mean that I am not healthy & fit. I'm sorry if sometimes I overused or overheaded you with some not worthy lifestyle, I'm just experimenting. :)
4. ASHIN & JARED. You two little angels brings hope & joy to my family. Thanks to the both of you for making my parents happy. May the both of you adopts the goodness & humbleness of JESUS.
5. IMPRISONED MIND & ITS FOLLOWERS. When I was in high school, I wanted to be a writer or lets say even a contributor in our school paper, but since I'm a transferee student, it never happened. I dont know whats their reason of being from other school & being on the 1st section in joining the school paper. Until now I'm asking why only those students who belongs from SSC(Special Science Class) are the one among the 20 sections, must be in the school organ. Anyways, my blog fulfilled my dream and it is like my journal, where I can share what's inside my naughty mind & anything what my brain spilled (lol!) both non-sense & have sense. I would also like to give my gratitude to my countless & million followers...uhmmm, 53 lang naman sila (lol). Thank you to your awa to follow me, hehehe.
6. BEAUTIFUL PLACES/WONDERS & PEOPLE. I'm always amazed & fascinated of seeing wonders that are created by nature or people then preserved through a very long span of years. Because of that, I have a time to bulakbol/travel places. And while I'm on travel, I always tried to compare whose better, people of the past of people of today, though I believed that us, the present inhabitant are far more better than before, yun nga lang.... we abused our powers so much.
7. COFFEE. I love coffee very much. That's it! Thank you!
8. MY COUNTRY. In this cruel world, YOU Lord Almighty still blessed my country with good people, eventhough in this moment of time, the world saw us differently. Well, I'm happy to say that I was born in this country full of happiness & talented people. No further explanation.
9. CHOCOLATES. My felicitation goes to the inventor of making cocoa seed to a wonderful, delicious & enticing cube-that-taste-good called chocolates. For that, I want to have an OOMPA-LOOMPA (Mr. Wonka Employee from his chocolate factory). Lol!
10. And last, I would like to express my gratitude to the LORD ALMIGHTY for all the blessings I have received and all I have lost.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

Minsan ako'y nangarap...
...ng magandang bahay.
...ng magandang sasakyan.
...ng magandang damit.
...at ng magandang pamumuhay.
Minsan ako'y nangarap..
...para sa nanay at tatay ko.
...para sa kapatid kong bagong gradweyt.
...para sa sarili ko.
...at para sa kinabukasan ng magiging pamilya ko.
Minsan ako'y nangarap...
...makarating ng ibang bansa.
...makarating pa sa iba pang bansa.
...makarating sa bansang may yelo.
...upang doon kumita at makaipon.
Minsan ako'y nangarap...
Ang sarap kung ang lahat ng pangarap mo'y magkakatotoo. Paano kung pangarap mo ay bigla na lang naglaho ng parang bula? Ano ang gagawin mo? Minsan ako'y nangarap na makapunta at makapagtrabaho sa Hilagang parte ng kontinenteng Amerika, sa pag-asang kumita ng malaki para sa pamilya, para mapaayos ang bahay na halos magswimming sa loob habang umuulan. Ewan ko ba kung bakit hindi pa ako nakunteto dito sa bansa ng mga taong dilaw (Yellow Race) gayong halos 6 years na rin naman akong naandito, gayong hindi rin naman kaliitan ang kinikita dito. Siguro nga or totoo talagang walang kakuntentuhan ang tao, (binigyan na nga ng Diyos ng isa, humihirit pa). Haizzt!!! Panahon, oras, at pera ang nasayang. Na-ban pa ako ng two years sa pagaaply ng visa patungong sa bansa sa Hilagang Amerika. Nagkarecord pa tuloy at kasabay ng mga niyebeng unti unting natutunaw ay ang mga pangarap ko sa aking pamilya at sa aking kinabukasan. Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!
Pero hindi natin kailangan sumuko sa anumang kabiguang ating naranasan bagkus ito ang magiging sandata natin upang harapin ang anumang hamon ng buhay (GMA-Kapuso), upang muling mangarap, muling tuparin at sundin ang anumang plano ng Dakilang Lumikha. Siguro nga hindi plano ng Diyos na akoy makarating sa bansang puno ng yelo, siguro dahil sa...A) akoy may rayuma, B) baka hindi ko kayanin ang lamig at akoy manigas at bawian ng buhay ng maaga, C) baka gamitin ko sa halohalo ang mga yelo naandun, D) ambisyoso akong pumuti or E) lahat ng nabanggit di angkop sa mga batang manonood patnubay ng magulang ang kailangan.
Anim na buwan mula ngayon, babalik na ako sa lupang sinilangan. Muli magsisimula ako sa umpisa. Umpisa ng bagong pag-asa ng naayon sa kagustuhan ng Diyos. Lately kasi, feeling ko anlayo layo ko sa KANYA, andami kong tanong na halos lahat ng kasagutan ay SIYA. O siya, matutulog na muna ako, pasok pa mamaya...
Tatlong araw. Tatlong araw ang nagdaan.
Tatlong araw ng halos mamaluktot ako sa pagtulog dala ng sobrang lamig ng panahon.
Tatlong araw ng halos umurong ang betlog ko sa tuwing magliligo bago pumasok sa trabaho.
Tatlong araw sa ilalim ng aking comforter.
Tatlong araw na late.
Tatlong araw na di makausap ng matino at laging nakasimangot.
Tatlong araw na kumain ng kumain kesehodang nagdidiet daw.
Tatlong araw na halos matulog lang ang ginagawa sa trabaho.(gising sa dorm!)
Tatlong araw ding tumatanaw sa bintana habang pinapanood ang mga nagdaraang sasakyan.
Tatlong araw din pinakikinggan at minimemorya ang full chinese version ng kantang "peng you" (meron si kim chui niyan).
At halos tatlong araw ding nagti*&*&@$^. (dyowk lang po!)
Hindi ko lubos akalain na tatlong araw na pala ang lumipas. Tatlong araw pero parang isang linggo na ang dumaan. At kasabay ng malamig na panahon, tila lumamig din ang aking pakiramdam na makisalamuha sa ibang tao, makisama at magenjoy sa buhay. Meaning tatlong araw ng walang sense ang buhay ko. At ng magbukas ako ng aking account sa facebook, heto ang nais iparating ni Lord sa akin sa araw na ito...

... that it's time you stopped hiding from life, and said yes to the adventure of being alive. Enough of the routine already. Go on, have an adventure, - do what you always wanted deep within your heart. Do what brings you alive, and the universe will open doors where there were only walls.
The OLD Hukou Church, Hsinchu, TaiwanMarami sa atin usually nagpupunta lang ng simbahan kapag may hihilingin sa KANYA. Marami sa atin ang mabilis magtampo at mag-alinlangan kapag hindi napagbigyan ang ating mga kahilingan. Samantalang kung tutuusin ang araw-araw nating buhay o ang paggising natin sa umaga ng humihinga ay isang magandang biyaya mula sa Diyos.
In connection on Possible/Imposible of kuya Marco Paolo of A Journey of My Simple Life, I' d like to share my own personal story. Long time ago, theres an oppurtunity came on me, an oppurtunity to work in Canada. So I asked for Him, if this is for me, give me a sign if i need to continue or not. Then I asked my mom and dad, back in the Philippines, if they wanted that too, and then they said, 'GO, we'll gonna help you financially'. When the time, my agent need the half of my payment, they gave it. And I'm happy for that because HE & my supportive parents never failed to help me.
The thing is this, I have the first half but I don't have the second half and for 3 months now from the time I paid my first, my contact never emailed or PM'ed me if my application is still in progress. So the picture above, where I served as a Choir Member since 2006, served as the only witnessed of my silent cries & sentiments regarding this Canada thing. For 3 months of not hearing any news & updates, I had'nt loose my faith on HIM, that one time, in due time, all will gonna be OK. So yesterday, as I hurried to go to work, my agent left a message on my YM that my papers will gonna released next week, in addition to that, the coordinator of the dormitory where I live, said, that the gov't TAX refund will also release by next week, and when I saw the amount of that refund, that will exact the amount I needed for my second payment. How happy I was upon hearing those good news and I can't stop silently uttered my unending thanks for HIM, as I go to my jobsite, because He never failed to help me.
See I wish for one, but He gave it twice & more than enough. Let HIM do all the best, and patiently wait because GOD knows what is the best for us. Never loose faith, everything is possible with HIM.
