Davao

We had a family vacation/reunion in Davao April 21st to 4th. It was fun, but tiring. But I did enjoy. That was good enough. But then, I'm still tired. I could hardly leave our house. By the way, I haven't left our village.

Instrumentation Training

The 3-day Instrumentation Training is finally over. It was fun. Some of the 'students' were also VBS teachers and/or participants so whenever the VBS class is over, we would stay and practice.

 

I signed in to learn play the drums and fortunately, I only know how to do the Quarter beat. Yes, of all the drum beats I learned the hardest first, as what my friends and mentor told me. But I think I already know the other beats, minus the basic. My coordination is not that good, but I'll keep on practicing. I actually stayed this afternoon so I could practice while my mates have already gone.

 

Those who signed in to this training will be performing on Sunday, both in the morning service and in the afternoon Youth Fellowship. Too bad I won't be there. I already miss those guys.

First Day, Busy Day

Today was a busy day. I had two engagements and something unplanned happened. But it's okay. It was fun.

VBS First Day
I woke up late because I slept early, really early today. The kids were not that naughty and I hope that they'd still be manageable tomorrow, and in the days to come. By the way, I am helping out (not yet teaching, but hoping to do so) in the Beginners, who are aged 3-6.

The Afternoon Fellowship: Lunch
THE VBS classes were already over, but Bryan, DeeJhaye, JR, and me stayed. We were in the music instruments' area. Joan was also with us, but she left early. We were playing the instruments. I did so with the drums, but there was no definite beat because I don't know how to play it. I was just "playing" with my drumsticks.

Bryan had to send his cousin-nephew home so he had to leave. While waiting for him JR Bonda, DeeJhaye, and me ate lunch in Country Style. JR calls it Bansa. =p

We talked about stuffs before, during, and after eating. When we were done (with all those that happened), we went back to the HOTL. Play time again.

We were playing until we came to the point of deciding should we go to G4 or not. In the end, we did.

The Afternoon Fellowship: Let's play
We decided to go to G4. But before reaching our destination, we passed through all Ayala Malls except SM. Kit was also in G4 waiting for us. We then headed to TimeZone. Some time later, Bryan came.

All of us, excluding Kit, played DM. And it was fun!

Summer RLE Schedule Inquiry
Yes, I went to our school. Only after the last credit for playing DM.

Instrumentation Training
I think it's part of the YF Ministry. I joined the Drums Lessons. Gackt, it was not easy.

Our God is an awesome God!

I'm not in the mood to write, since I usually write long, about the recent events I've been through. All I could say is AWESOME!


05-08 April 2007 || Tayabas, Quezon
Our 2007 Young Friends Camp was so wonderful. I believe everyone's been blessed. And I pray that God was pleased. I believe God was.

We had our usual sessions. Each one has implanted at least one lesson to me. But the one that hit me bull's eye, through the Holy Spirit, was the Family Relationship. On the day we had the session about relationships, the Holy Spirit worked in me as if I was being shaken. There was nothing I could do but follow Him. And the healing started..

God spoke to me during the camp. Not just once, but at least thrice. One of the messages I had was when I had dinner after I talked to Ate Faye. I was looking at my plate filled with food. There was only a little space left to move the food. But being raised to empty one's plate, I was obliged to.

Little by little, I devoured the food in my plate. Sorry for the word. Well, I was really able to finish my meal. Okay, here was the message: Malaki man o maliit 'yan, kayang-kaya 'yan ni God (Big or small, God is able to work in it).

One of the things I love about this camp is the feeling of closeness between campers. We're brothers and sisters and Christ, but you can't always expect everyone to be so close. This camp was quite different. The fellowship we had was just wonderful (and I know God will continue to work in us). And to think how the Holy Spirit worked, it was double wonderful.

Another message I had, which was really personal, that I want to share is this:
It was our last night in the camp. Stuff, stuff, stuff... I talked to God and so is everyone. I told Him I want to know Him more, that I want Him to speak to me. Then God told me that I'm quite a practical person, who does not depend/based things on feelings. I have the Bible; God will speak to me through it (but God also speaks to me through situations, things, and whatever way He wants). And the most exciting message I got was God is excited to reveal Himself to me. And I believe He's also excited to reveal Himself to you. Yes, to you.

I am a new creation in Christ!

Life is more exciting with Christ in my life. And it's really nice to know that God is also working in other people.

My fears are gone. God will never leave me nor forsake me. The Lord has given me the peace that surpasses all understanding. God's mercy is new every morning. And His grace, which I don't deserve, is so amazing. No words are good enough to express how grateful I am. And with God's eternal and unconditional love, I can keep going in this world. God was absolutely right when He said, "Apart from me, you are nothing." (John 15:5)

Father in heaven, I will go on loving You.

I'm an Aunt!

I've just realized, I'm already an aunt! Though it's a cousin-aunt thingy. Still, it's family. I'm not sure about his name, but he's my cousin Ria's son. I just found it out through Friendster.

Death Note: Episode 01-24

I've just finished watching the first 24 episode of Death Note, over night. Gosh, it was all straight. I really got hooked. But it was not unexpected.

Crunchyroll only has the first 24 eps so I'm now hunting for the succeeding episodes. Like NANA, I think it'll take for a while. It's good enough that I was able to watch Death Note this fast. I wanted to watch it before but I've been busy with school and such. Over night watching is an accomplishment. But I really want to watch the next eps now.

Patience is a virtue. I made it with NANA so I'm hoping the same here. I hope the fansub sites have already did well with NANA and Death Note.

It may be summer but I already have a busy schedule. I still have many Anime in mind to watch, but it seems that those have to wait. Life's like that.
