Morning Reflections.......The Praying Hands
My morning routine starts with praying and reading the bible. I fixed my bed and do some stretching exercise. Lately, while exercising I would tune in to "Magandang Umaga Bayan," on t.v. I loved their segment "Kape't Pandesal," it made my day just right with these morning reflections.
I would like to share with you the reflection made by Fr.Roy. It started with a beautiful story on how the painting entitled "The Praying Hand."came about ( side kwento muna tayo: I've read in "God in the Small Stuffs," that you must learn how to say a good story. So this is my good story, something that inspires and this is what I intend to share when someone wants to hear a story from me.) Albert and Frank are good friends who shares the same passion - painting. They both wanted to study painting but unfortunately they both came from poor families so they can't pursue their desires. Both got employed as a factory worker. They decided that they can still fulfill their dreams if one would work and send the other to school and when the other is done studying should shoulder the expenses of the other for painting lessons. Frank voluntered to work while Albert studied. After several years, Albert informed Frank that he's through with his studies and now ready to send his friend to school. Frank was happy for his friend, but declined the offer to go schooling. Albert said that it is now his time to repay Frank's goodness. Frank still said no because his hands was now calloused and crooked due to his work in the factory. One time while Frank was praying, Albert painted Frank's praying hands. The hands, to whom Albert owed a lot. The painting was known as the "Praying Hands," and is considered one of the one hundred great paintings of all time. Fr Roy ended his reflection by asking "To whose hands do you owe your life?" Its now the time to be grateful not only to the people who has done good things to us but most especially to our Heavenly Father who patiently looks after us.

Si Boyet, The Incredibles at tsaka iba pang kwento
Wow! I missed blogging! But I'm back.
Was not able to blog for so long because the person sitting to my right keep on playing "Breath of Fire." Kumbaga ang hirap sumingit. Kinukulit ako ngayon kaya ewan tuloy ang sinusulat ko. But seriously, even if he keeps on bugging and teasing me, I don't mind as long as he stays by my side......cause he's one of those few people who puts a smile on my face.
I have a lot of stories to tell.
I'll make a list first of the stories I intend to tell, so that, if I can't write down everything today, I'll have a chance to write about it next time na makasingit ulit sa computer. He..he..he..
A Walk To Remember
The Incredibles
On Compassion, Gentleness and Kindness
The Praying Hand
The List of Books, Things, Places and Activities I Love
I was able to catch on HBO, "A Walk To Remember." Seeing it again, after watching it on the big screen several months ago rekindled my love for it. I always place the movie as one of my favorites but I have forgotten why I liked it in the first place.But now, I know why. I loved it because it inspires me to become a better person and believe so much in the transforming power of love. Jamie's deep faith in God and in the goodness of other people is so amazing, with that kind of faith and love I know I can go through anything in life. I'll make my own list of things that I want to accomplish before I die to keep tracked of the things I need to do in order to live a meaningful life.I hope I'll be able to find my own Lander. So many things have been said about love...but love for me like what my Mom told me is ready to sacrifice, give and thinks only of what's best for the people he loves, and to do things that makes his lovedones smile.Love is patient, love is kind, love is not boastful nor envious.....it does not keep a record of wrong.....it hopes in all things and believes in all things.....love endures ( 1 Corinthians 13)
