The power of forgiveness

Blogging is such a great way to speak up your mind about everything and that is something I'm about to do.

Just two days ago at work, while taking calls (hehehehe) I read in CNN.COM a story of a man who had killed a pastor's wife and put the pastor in great psychological disability. But what caught my attention the most is the other side of the story, the story of how the daughter of the victim forgive the suspect. Many for sure will ask how can you forgive the person who killed your loved ones and shattered your family? But Rebecca Nicholson (daughter of the victims), DID. Forgiveness may be easy to read, easy to describe but actually it is such a hefty word, that's hard to do in action.

According to the article Rebecca was only 10 years old then when the incident happened now she's 41 yrs/old. For some if this happens to them for sure it will be hard for them to find forgiveness and offer it to the person who had done something wrong to you. But what so specially with this story is on how Rebecca already forgive Harris (Rebecca's parents killer) dispite of the effects of the killings done to her family, you could say that its really a tragic. However Rebecca didnt live in pain and darkness as she never kept any hatred against Harris, but she had given him her forgiveness, forgiveness that free her from any anxiety, worries and stress, she is even blessed.


The September 11, Sunday mass' homily is about forgiveness, Gospel of Mt 18:21-35 discussed forgiveness. Its says, Peter approached Jesus and asked him, "Lord, if my brother sins against me, how often must I forgive? As many as 7 times?" Jesus answered, I say to you not even seven times but seventy-seven times. Wow isnt it too much? Actually not as the Lord God had forgave us of our sins so who are we not to throw forgiveness to people who hurt, sin against you or worst did something horrible. Furthermore this attitude not only blesses the oppressor but more to you as it gives you peace of mind, pure happiness and the fact that you listened and kept on listening to God's words.

Well what am I trying to say here.... probably as much as you can forgive, forgive, forgive and you will be forgiven too when its time for you to forgive.


Thank you for your time...

An itchy feet

...Not because of dirty feet or stinky feet but my feet are itching to go out and be on the road to my next destination.

When 2011 comes in I planned to do domestic tours, visit numbers of Island, swim at beaches,set foot on a mountain's peak, thankfully I was able to do it all. It is such a great feeling every time I go and visit beautiful places and provinces here in the Philippines, it free me from all the stresses in this world!!!!

Taytay Falls

 My planned trips includes hiking, swimming at the beach, provincial tours, plus falls discovering... hehehe well its actually not in my to do list but lately I'm getting interest in getting massage by the falls flowing down so I added it up on my to do list. I had scheduled each and every trip thou some just pops up and the next thing I know I'm already there. Sometimes impromtu is much better as it do come true.

I've been touring with different buddies depending who is available to accompany me, off course most are friends. With this activities I'm wanting to have a family tour too unfortunately conflict with our work schedules stops us from doing this but then I have a high hope that we will be able to and for sure it will be a great one.

Boracay Aklan

There are a lot of wonderful , undiscovered, untouched places here in the Philippines that is needed to be discovered, to be visited, to enjoy and be thankful for. Bearing in mind that we MUST NOT ABUSE and DESTROY it, we have to keep its beauty. There are 7,107 islands I am not even on atleast 1/3 of this island but sure enough I did  enjoy my every trip.

Coron Palawan

 Now towards the end of the year I'm planning to do some more traveling or atleast Island traveling just within Luzon since I no longer have any vacation leave so I have to do things during my restdays. No matter what the reason I will conquer those heights, sea and Land.

Mt. Batulao

Hence, I'm amazed and continuously being owed as if its my first time to see such view. Thank you Heavenly Father Lord God for all of this wonderful gift of nature, for blessing the Philippines with such great treasure. However we are sorry if we taking advantage of it, we tend to forget giving importance and care to your creations but we are asking you Father to help us to make things better and to take care your wonders. Mountains to hike, beaches to dive, Island to discover, provinces to visit, Fiestas to experience and whole lot more to do... all in my list.

After my domestic tours I am planning Asia Tour for year 2012. See you on the road. Have a safe trip!

Please dont ruin your dignity with your broken promises...

Hindi ako marunong magalit
Hindi ako marunong mgsalita ng masama
Hindi ako marunong hindi ako marunong...

pero pag-umabuso na wala na ang "hindi ako marunong"

I hate people who are not getting true w/ their promises all lies all words... Nakuha mo ang perang hinihiram mo ng wala pang 24oras, I even told you that that is already  my last money but because of your stories ( I dont even know if its true) I still lend it to you with your promises that you'll return it immediately, sadly it was already about 3 months but still -- broken promises. 

Ive been good to you, Ive shared you even the last cent in my pocket... but what happened ha? You know what ehat makes me feel so bad is the fact that your making me look stupid ako n etong tumulong sayo. Madali lang naman akong kausap kung hindi mo kayang bayaran ng buo sabihin mo we can make a deal, hindi ako taong walang puso na di marunong umintindi ng sitwasyon pro wag mo lang akong gagaguhin, wag k n lang mgsabi ng mga pangako kung di mo nman kayang tuparin your just making me stessed. 

But despite of this stressed and worries Ive actually learned something, not to the point n hindi n ako tutulong, sadly wala ata sa bokabularyo ko ang hindi tumulong ewan ko b, misyon ko n ata un... but jst atleast I learn how to balance things and dont give everything I have no matter what it is... I know I had said something may had hurt or offended you, thou honestly I dont regret it coz I really have to for you to know how I feel buti nga pigil p nga yang mga sinabi ko (as I said in my opening line).  

Im praying that things get fine both for you and me, unfortunately for you THIS WILL BE THE LAST N MAGAGAWA MO E2 SA AKIN!!!

haiz pagpalain k nawa...............
