Everything is Meaningless

2 “Meaningless! Meaningless!”
says the Teacher.
“Utterly meaningless!
Everything is meaningless.”
3 What does man gain from all his labor
at which he toils under the sun?
4 Generations come and generations go,
but the earth remains forever.
5 The sun rises and the sun sets,

panahon

sa dami ng ginagawa
sa dami ng iniisip
sa mga kalungkutang dinaranas
sa mga problemang walang kupas
sa bigat ng damdamin
tila walang panahon sa buhay
tila tinutugis ang bawat araw
at pakiramdam ko’y unti-unti
na akong hinahatak ng panahon
hay, buhay nga naman… two years ago, ganito na naman. kailangang magpatuloy. kailangang kumayod. ang buhay di madaling wakasan. kailangang magbuhat, kahit mabigat, bukas [...]

The times of your life (Part II)

In my last entry, I posted Ecclesiastes 3, the verse I am meditating with until now. Yesterday, I was able to share the first few verses of this chapter to some young people while we reflected in the movie “Click.”

Is it the coffee you wanted?

I love coffee but this coffee is different. I found this in my e-mail inbox this morning. It is a forwarded mail from a very good friend. After reading it, I went back to myself asking, “Is this the coffee I wanted?” Well, read on and I hope you’ll come to a realization.

i decided to…

delete my other blogs, which I wasn’t able to maintain.

edit the presentation for the campus ministry last night but no, I don’t know how to use the Adobe Premier software! Besides, the file format of the video was [...]

Buhay ko ito (Part II) Bakit ba?

On friendships
Dahil mag-isa lang ako naisip ko ang iba’t-ibang bagay. Naisip ko ang mga taong tulad ng binanggit ko, walang pakiramdam!
Alam ko marami akong kaibigan pero ang hindi ko alam kung kaibigan nila ako…
Chorva lang!
Bato-bato sa langit, tamaan bubukol.
Minsan kasi nagpaparamdam lang ang ibang tao kung may kelangan sila. Pero kung ikaw ang nagpapakita ng [...]

Buhay ko ito (Part I) Walang pakialamanan!

Ewan ko kung ilang beses na akong nagbahagi ng aking mga nararamdaman ko, I mean yung personal feelings, sa blog na ito. Yung tipong mga galit ko sa mundo, yung mga pagsesenti ko. Siyempre lagi akong nagkukumento sa mga bagay-bagay pero ito iba!
I survived the day
Pumasok ako sa office noong Saturday ng mag-isa. Yun lang! [...]
