TURN AWAY FROM SIN and believe in the GOSPEL

Hey brothers and sisters,
Lent na. Time to re evaluate ourselves and prepare ourselves for the Salvation of our lives.

This season for me requires a lot of spiritual training. I have struggle finding an Easter Retreat here in Davao. (sigh). Right now I'm asking bro to help me find a good retreat but as for the moment im up to what the Liturgy sets before us during this season; the three penitential practices that are very dear to the biblical and Christian tradition – prayer, almsgiving, fasting – to prepare myself to better celebrate Easter and thus experience God’s power that, as we shall hear in the Paschal Vigil, “dispels all evil, washes guilt away, restores lost innocence, brings mourners joy, casts out hatred, brings us peace and humbles earthly pride” (Paschal Præconium)....



You, what are your preparations?

Surprises! on my bday (make or break it)



Last Tuesday February 17 was my 28th birthday and I didnt expect anything from anyone because I dont want to set my hopes way way high. I started my day normally but it ended very very sweet. My students and my very sweet boss surprised me at home. I admit I usually hate surprises but not that day... Thanks for all those who gave effort to make my day special. I thank God for allowing them to touch my life and become an inspiration to go on living. Life is beautiful if you are surrounded with good and kind-hearted people.
