Here we are. It's the beginning of a new day. Sort of. I just got myself a globe sim, but I need to work on spending the load I got on my smart sim first before I load this bad boy in my phone. Then unlimited text on the way! Wooo-hoooo! Sigh. What are we going to do? Anyway, keep praying that God will send money. Trying to raise funds but so far I've only gotten three replies - one yes and two "i'll pray about it"s. Praying is actually just as important. But I'm hoping people would just respond more. I pray God will move mountains soon.
In other news, I have a lot more emails to write and I also have a lot mroe channels articles to hunt down. Yun. So this is a short update, but oh well. Whatever. Gotta keep them coming. Oh yeah, it's something nice to wake up and feel your muscles aching from working out too much the day before. It felt gooooooooood. Lol!

Well here is my first blog that is going to be both on friendster and multiply. Will it work? Will I successfully do this without losing any interest at all?
Today was nice. I woke up at 7am and actually got to work out a bit. It's a start. And I was going to go for a swim, but the pool was being cleaned. Guess I'll go later. Here's the thing with small pools - they aren't popular. Very few people use them. So this is a plus for me because they are by far the most likely place to have your own private pool. No one will bother you. It's just you and the pool and time to relax and do laps in the 8 shaped pool. But either way, I like the idea of it feeling secluded, private, and not public. Makes me not worry about kids and their stuff floating in the water. I don't know. Dave says swimming is good exercise. I need to figure out exactly how it is that swimming back and forth is exercise when your legs tend to do most of the work. But I guess your arms do a little bit. Seems your arms just kind of help you to lift your head above water.
In other news, work is going well today. I have a ton of stuff to do yet am not in a rush to do them. Why? Because it's a Monday. So I'm going to be sending out support raising emails all day. May God bless those emails so that people's hearts are touched. But more importantly, it's a way that I can keep in contact with my friends in the states. I miss them, you know? I wonder what they think of. Do they ever think of me? I got pretty bothered last friday when my class was calling me some tagalog word that meant womanizer or something stupid like that. Just because I have a lot of friends who are girls. I mean, come on. You know what my dad told me? he told me when we were all really young that as guys, we must take care of the girls out there like they were our sisters because there are a lot of jerk guys who would take advantage of them, so we're there to be their brothers to help them out in times of trouble. So that's why I do it. That's why I have a lot of friends that are girls and that's why I'm so loving towards them. I'm supposed to be their big brother, I'm supposed to be there for them in case they need anything. isn't this the way it should be? that guys are gentlemen who lead with honor, who take care of girls with respect and not in a flirty kind of way? Oh well. It seems some girls don't appreciate it as much. But we'll see.
Well, it's time to call it a blog and begin cleaning my desk and begin sending out emails. Later all of you! Take care!

Betsy and Molly - These two girls remind each day to smile at the world. Just when it seems everything is so busy and we have to kind of force ourselves into molds bestowed on us, I see a picture of them and realize that God has nothing against being silly and just enjoying the life that He has blessed us with. They are my beatrice to my dante. They really are by far the two cutest girls on the planet (i don't care who you are, they just ARE). The sisters became my friends...why? I don't know. Why they love me so much despite me not doing anything for them is beyond me. All I know is that they always make me feel loved. They are artsy fartsy athletic fille with a good taste for asthetics and I know that just knowing them has made my day wonderful. Obladiobladah.
Aliza - simply put, i know it's a wonderful world but I can't see right now. I know that I am donig well but I just want to cry now. I know it's a wonderful world from the sky down to the sea, but I can only see it when you're here, here with me.
Anyway, that is just a little thing that I wish I could tell them. I know that I don't need to, though, because they already know. As Aliza always said to me when i told her I loved her, she'd say, "I know. I love you too." No need to say it. Simply saying "I Love you" says everything. I wish people could do that more today. We're all Christians and we are all brothers and sisters...why can't we just be open and let everyone know that they are loved without this whole taboo being put down? Well it depends. It's just fun to share a meal with people. What cna I say? Life is just so good right now. The sun is shining, sort of, and there is a ton of things to do, but everything is fine. I know I'm not making sense.
We really have to go out and do something fun. Something that is out of the norm. A Breakfast Club? Many people are interested in it, but it seems the idea hasn't caught on exactly as I wanted it to. I ask people who they would like me to invite and they always list their friends. The idea is to get to know people that you are not close to. Hmmm. I really need to send out an invitation already for this Saturday afternoon, I don't know, like lunch? The problem is that so many people keep asking to be on one, but I can't pile everyone into one or else there's not joy out of doing a one shot deal. You knwo what we need? We need a dance. Like a full out club like dance where everyone can just dance and have fun. No being awkward. Just eveyrone being silly and being awkward. We need to help people unwind because everyone is stressed out. It seems everyoen I talk to - from Abi to Saki is burned out from the school work they get.
Oh well. All of you smile and have your self a good day. I have to get to a meeting in a little bit. Take care you all and remember that seafood is good for you :-)

So I'm finally getting texts back. Weird. Here I was ready to spend an extra P300 on something else instead of load. Anyway, today is the DAY. I'm teaching. Woot woot! I have no idea how it is going to go cause I still have to make the powerpoint. I have three hours to do so. So I'll actaully put up a late edition later to say how it went.
As for right now, I'm just worried for someone. Hope they're okay.
Hmmm...that's all for now. I'm always around and if any of you need a hug, just let me know. I miss a lot of you (and you know who you are). It's been too long.

I really want to make this blog work. I really do. But it seems that lately I've just not been disciplined enough to write in this every day. It's become bi-monthly! Oy gubulsh! I need to get my act together. I need to start waking up earlier so that I have time to do push ups and sit ups in the morning, get to work on time, and, oh yes, even write in my blog.
So today is goign to be a fun day. I'm teaching a class tomorrow! Yey! But what is it on? Thankfully, I know what it is on. The problem is that I only have an outline and now I need to spend time writing it all out verbatim. You know what a two hour speech looks like on paper? Average 8minutes a page means that I'll need about 14 pages of notes for this class. Yes. Single spaced 14 pages. And the students think they have it hard! I need to write all this out for one class! Sheesh. So I have to get started on that.
Afterwards, I'm going to be putting the powerpoint together. Will it look good? I don't know. I actually think I'll put the powerpoint together first so that it can have a solid feel to it. I ust want to go home early today and swim. That's been my mantra for the past two weeks. I just want to swim and relax. But it's like I keep coming home late and the brothers never are up to a night time swim. Oh well. God willing it works out some day soon when it isn't raining. Maybe saturday morning.
So what else is new? I've realized that no one texts me back anymore. I sent out around 20+ texts yesterday and not one person responded. I guess this is a good thing because it means that I can start saving on texts now. Go all totally Yuna and not use a cellphone. That would be nice. But as of now, I'm just going to sit and veg. Surf the net a little. I need to warm up my brain and get it set for schoolwork. Either that or I'll do some reading.
But you know what else is today? You want to know what else? It's...whisper...comic book day. :-) I'm going to go to the comic store later, pick up my weekly comics and go home and read them in the comfort of my couch. It's going to be awesome. I can't wait to read through those stuff. See, I order them on Monday. So by the time Thursday rolls around, I can't really remember what I ordered so it's kind of fun to get this package and open it up and read through. It's like a time that I can be taken to another world. Speaking of which, I've been readign Neil Gaiman lately and it's pretty good. I'm enjoying his writing as weird as it is. I hope to continue reading it later. It's totally a fairy tale feeling. Sigh. Good stuff. Good reading. Life seems so much better when you read, don't you think? it gets even better when you write. I remember this time I spent time writing an essay on a blank page. Oh the possibilities a blank page holds! It can say anything. It can change the world or end up as scratch paper wrapping up today's fish. Who knows? And that's the beauty of potential. What will you be tomorrow?
With that thought, I'm heading out. Thanks for listening.

It's been another long long long week since my last post. We finally moved houses! Wooo-hooo!!!! So now what does this mean? It means that now we live nearby and it means that Breakfast Clubs can happen regularly. God willing, we can make this be more of a regular event and truly get some interesting mixes of people together. We'll see, we'll see. Hmmm...It will have to be on Sunday afternoonles, I think. Oh well. I'm so happy. So we live exactly 20 minutes from work now and about 2 minutes from gcf. Fun, huh?
Well what else now? I'm just feeling so blessed by God. Everything seems so great right now. We have good things definately on the horizon. Talk to you all later! Bye!

Yes, I know. This is a very late edition of the daily planet newspaper blog, but I have been busy. See, we had this retreat the other week for Messiah College. It was a blast. I love the new freshman! They are all SMART: Simply Amazing. See, here's the thing, you can just TELL with some people. And I believe that I am a pretty good judge of character. And I can tell you this: this freshman batch is so overflowing with potential of leadership that it is thrilling to watch. What will happen? What will they become? They can accomplish anything, I just know it. There is just one problem with potential: my friend Aliza always said that the problem with potential is that it means that you aren't fulfilling it. It means that you are capable of so much, but are you doing anything about it? It's like a powerplant. It is capable of providing electricity for a whole city, it has the potential to change the entire landscape...but if it isn't turned on, sayang lang. I really hope to see the new Messiah students just grow and really step it up and be the leaders they are. As we say in C.S. Lewis, we should lead with Honor. LEAD WITH HONOR. Think of that. Dwell on that. Really think of what that means.
In other news, I've been sick for the past few days and have been jumping back and forth from asthma to fever. And we're moving soon. Man, I'm hoping we are going to be able to move soon because I want to be living in our new apartment already and just use it to encourage peopel and make dinner ad stuff. I think that God is by far going to be able to use us more when we live nearer.
Also, this is what else I'm so excited about: I'm just finding myself so full of joy despite being sick because of all that God is doing for us and through me. It is such a reminder of why I shouldn't struggle with self worth issues (which we all go through from time to time) because God made me who I am to accomplish these tasks. It's been so amazing.
Anyway, signing out. Will update again in two days. Later my friends!
