I am a kibitzer
An egoistic myth
Pal of busy bodies
Phantom of the unconscious
Stalker in dark alleys
Critic of social culprit

NASAAN?

Nasaan?
Nasaan ang pag-ibig?
Ako ba ay bulag?
O sadyang bulag lamang ang pag-ibig?

Bigyan ako ng kahit na kaunting awa!
Nang maranasan ko namang ibigin
Kahit na dahil sa awa lang
Alam ko mamahalin mo rin ako

Kanina pa ako nagpapapansin sa’yo
Di mo ba nararamdaman?
O sadyang manhid ka lang?
Hoy, ano?!?

Mahal kaya kita, di mo ba alam?



Prayer for the Youth
(Aired live at Hardin ng Panalangin, Kaagapay ng Sambayanan Radio DZAS 702 on May 29, 2008 at 6:30a.m. You may log on to www.febc.ph)

Oh God of Timothy and Jeremiah, we thank you for the gift of life that opens an opportunity to embrace the beauty of your creation. We feel Your presence in the songs of birds and the sounds of wiggling trees. We feel the warmth of your love in the humble heart of every youth. Dear father, we have proven your faithfulness through the years – since the time of our forefathers up to this time that we are facing many challenges in our church and in our community. Thank you for inspiring our generation to stand out for your honor and glory.

Salamat po sa buhay ng maraming kabataan na patuloy mong ginagamit sa iba’t ibang uri ng paglilingkod para sa iyong ministeryo. Iba’t iba man ang aming mga pangalan at katayuan, kami ay sumasamba at naglilingkod sa iisang Diyos na buhay. Diyos na patuloy at tapat na kumakalinga sa Kanyang mga anak. Hiling po namin na patuloy mo kaming pagpalain at nawa’y maging pagpapala din naman kami sa iba . Gawin mong sagana ang buhay ng bawat kabataan, samahan sila sa kanilang mga paglilingkod at pangunguna. Ang iba man ay nakararanas ng panghahamak dahil sa kanilang pagiging kabataan, hayaan mo po na ang katarungan mo ang s’yang manaig. Makita sa amin hindi ang pagiging bata at mahina, kung hindi ang kakayahan na tumayo sa kung ano ang tama at matuwid. Pagalingin mo po ang mga kapatid namin na may karamdaman at bigat na dinadala dulot ng maraming problema. Sa kabila ng maraming kaguluhan, ang inyo pong pag-ibig at kapayapaan ang patuloy na maghari sa bawat puso.

Pagpalain mo rin po ang aming mga magulang at pamilya. Maging instrumento sila sa paggabay sa aming paglaki, sa pagtugon sa aming mga pangangailangan at paghubog bilang mga responsableng Pilipino at Kristiyano. Gabayan mo po ang mga kabataang studyante, bigyan mo sila ng sapat na katalinuhan at katapatan sa kanilang pag-aaral. Maging ang mga kabataang naghahanapbuhay, lalong higit sila na nasa ibang bansa. Maging larawan po kami ng inyong kapakumbabaan at kahusayan sa lahat ng aming ginagawa at nakakasalamuha araw-araw. At higit sa lahat, magkaroon nawa ng katuparan ang aming maliliit at malalaking mga pangarap hindi lamang para sa aming sarili at pamilya kung hindi maging para sa aming kapwa.

Pawiin nawa ng iyong pag-ibig ang puot at galit. Kung mayroong nasasaktan, ang kalinga mo ang kumupkop sa kanila. Magkaroon ng kasiguruhan ang mga naliligaw at naguguluhan sapagkat alam naming tapat ka sa iyong mga pangako. Bigyan mo ng katarungan ang mga naaapi at naghihirap. Magkaroon ng pagkain ang mga nagugutom. At pag-asa sa mga nawawalan ng loob.

We pray for our church, Oh Lord, continue to help us to do justice and walk humbly in your light. Bless our church workers and leaders, especially the youths, that we may be united not only with Christ but also with one another. Let your words be always upon our lips that we may speak of blessings upon blessings. Forgive us Lord for many times that we have been insensitive to the needs of others and to the present realities that are affecting all of us.

We pray for our beloved Philippines; for our leaders and our people. We pray that you would continue to inspire us to share your love and compassion, that we may be able to make a positive difference in this world. Let you heart be our heart, that we may be able to love even the least and the poor. Your eyes be our eyes that we may see the needs of others and see light even in the darkness. Your hands be our hands that we may be able to do good and share what we have. And you feet be our feet, that we may be able to finish the race and take our own cross.

Lord, let the transformation of this nation start with us, your children. Let worship be a way of life. That everybody may see in us not the world but your kingdom. Lord, we are the youths, your sons and daughters. Bless our generation and the generations that succeed us. Help us to live a life like Jesus.

This is our prayer in the God of all youths, in the mighty name

of Jesus Christ. Amen

A 3-hour detention

I should have been writing about my singleness! In fact, I almost have finished an article about the pleasures it brings to me especially in the past weeks, not until I had a very terrible experience last night!

 

From a meeting in Makati, I tried to get straight home and pass through a nearby mall. I was walking along the basement when a woman approached and asked me if I do own a credit card. In my excitement to join a free raffle promo that I was told of, I decided to spare some time to sit down and listen about the offer. After introducing me to a fellow, she handed me a poster showing the prizes I could possibly win including a luxury car and P888,888.00 cash. I might have thought of it as a bluffer to their true motive so the woman let me read a line on the poster saying that it was not an obligation for me to pay anything that has a value. She further explained that it was a special promotion and just wanted me to know so I may have something to share with my friends about their company. Even before that, I was told that I already won an umbrella and a bag because of the time I gave them.

 

It was not over yet! She brought me to the third floor of the mall where I would be playing for the P888,888.00 cash. The woman was so persuasive. While on the elevator, she was asking questions about my work and then telling me some stories about her life. I must believe that she were really trained to have such a speaking caress! As we finally reached the lobby of their office, I saw many other people accompanied by agents like her with the same sense of friendliness. Then after few minutes, another woman called my name and asked me to get in for a "45-minute orientation".

 

She was equally outspoken and convincing. She first asked me to fill out a form while preparing a cup of coffee for me (hmmm! who could resist of coffee???) and then started the conversation by asking of my dreams in life that I wrote on the form. The questions were quite personal so I assumed that we were having intimate and serious talks, which I ought to answer seriously. She commented that I sound so matured and profound (huh?!) while bringing the issue of future security over the cup of coffee and then… finally offering their insurance program!

 

I had so many questions expressing hesitation not until their account manager came to me. In the end, I was convinced to avail of their insurance through initial deposit over my credit card plus a monthly premium payable within 7 years, entitling me to a P250, 000.00 cash endowment upon maturity period of 15 years. That was the only time I got raffle coupons for the luxury car and won 11 PIN as my ticket for the P888,888.00 cash to be drawn on July 2008.

 

Ergo, all I took home was a free gym-bag and the insurance certificate for myself after the 45-minute-turned-3-hour-orientation!
