The man who can't be moved


  The one whose walk is blameless, 
   who does what is righteous, 
   who speaks the truth from their heart; 
 whose tongue utters no slander, 
   who does no wrong to a neighbor, 
   and casts no slur on others; 
 who despises a vile person 
   but honors those who fear the LORD; 
who keeps an oath even when it hurts, 
   and does not change their mind; 
 who lends money to the poor without interest; 
   who does not accept a bribe against the innocent.
   Whoever does these things 
   will never be shaken.


-Psalms 15:2-5




I guess that passage spoke for itself.

Blue Skies

When I was in Cebu, I noticed something really cool -- the sky is bluer (is there such a word?) there. Same country, same sky, and yet clouds were abundant there, and the sky was really blue. REALLY blue. Not the grayish kind.


And so I remembered you. You know when I met you, my skies became bluer; this is because you yourself have beautiful blue skies.

And just like that slowly but surely, in your own little ways.. I forget my grayish sky. And I bask in your sunshine.


It's the blue skies
Your blue skies that I love
It's where I want to stay
The sky is bright and blue
When I'm with you

The Call

Interviews are hard for me. I think it's all those questions, and the scrutiny. I hate being examined or measured. So I detested the Test, or so I thought.

As you know, I've gone through the first interview and practical exam (two weeks ago? or maybe three), without confidence really in my performance. And now that I've gone on to "level two", I kind of feel like I might actually have a chance at this.

Anyway, my day started much like any other day, except I woke up at 6AM and I can't get back to sleep even if I tried. I was too excited. So there I was at 6:30, eating breakfast while reading the Bible (can't shake that habit off). And was out at around 7:30 (I really tried slowing down, for real. I looked at myself maybe around ten times in the mirror and then picked another shirt to wear, and then looked at myself for ten more times).

As I was "slowing down", I get a text from (ahem) my sweetest friend. And I remembered that friend as I sat in the car, as I got off, and as I answered the Test (written, thank You). I remember him.

After the Test, I texted, as promised. Thirty minutes later, he called, as promised.

Of all the things we said on the phone after talking for like twenty to thirty minutes, when we hung up, I remember just one thing till now: You called.

It's the little things, these little things that matter. The little things that you do, the little things that you say or don't say -- they matter a LOT to me. And I thank you, from the deepest part of my heart, for making me feel that you got my back, for supporting me, and for just really... caring. Thank you, thank you very much.

If I could spend one day with anyone in this world (including my hollywood crushes), you know I'd spend it with you. Hey you owe me a favor right? *hint hint

Anyway, you know I love being with you (fifteen minutes in the mall is proof).

SO.. I look forward to seeing you on Saturday.

Have a great Friday! :)

So in Love with You

Like the fire
My heart burns with desire

To know you and
Love you more


With all my heart and soul
I seek Your face
With all I am
I long for your embrace

Captivated by Your love
Caught in the arms of my Savior
I lift my heart and hands to You
By Your grace, I know you more and more
Jesus I'm so in love with You


Like the grass
I grow more in love
By the rain of your love
In my life

Deep Throaty Voice

Like the storm
outside my window,
My heart is.
Sleep is far from me
So I prayed


Lord
Calm my fears
An answered pray'r
that's what it is


A sound so dear
A voice that's clear
It's the sound that
I so want to hear
It's your deep throaty voice
that's saying in my ear
"Calm down my dear,
My voice is here"

Sing me to sleep,
Sing me to sleep

Day and Night

I wake up
Open my eyes and stretch my arms
I'm alive again
Thank you Lord
For your grace

I put my trust in You
Let all that love you,
Praise Your name

Bless the Lord, oh my soul,
For He is holy
Your grace and mercy have found me
Oh God You are worthy
I will worship You,
I will worship You, O God,
Day and night

I am weak, Oh Lord
I find strength in You
Everyday

Friends came and went
People hurt my heart
Some stayed, a lot have gone
I go back to start
Through all that has happened
Happy or painful
Oh my Lord,
You were there.

When the storm in my heart
Has gone out of control,
You calmed the raging seas
And held me in your arms and said,

"My child, be still,
Hold my hand and lean on Me
My strength will be with you,
No one can take you away from Me.
Lay it all down on my feet.
I'm here with you,
I'll never let you go."
