Which would you prefer: to do something you would regret, or regret something you didn’t do? …..It’s a trap. Coz whatever you choose, you’ll still end up with regret.

Just me ranting
Must do this so my head is clear, clear enough to focus on transcribing 6 interviews for thesis. LEZDODIZ!
Nanghihinayang talaga ako sa Citipointe Live Hope is Erupting concert. Hanggang ngayon. P50 na lang yung tickets on the day eh. Kaya lang wala akong kasama. And was super tired also. Hindi naman sa it felt wrong, it just didn’t feel right. You know? And it kinda seemed to me like...

Pwede Ba
Verse 1: Pwede bang matapos And ‘di nag-umpisa? Pwede bang sumuko Kung ‘di pa sumusubok? Pwede bang kalimutan And ‘di pa nalalaman? Pwede bang layuan Wala namang napuntahan…
Verse 2: Pwede bang dugtungan Ang ‘di nasimulan? Pwede bang ikaw ay Makilala nang tuluyan? Pwede bang tiisin Basta lang maging akin
Pre-Chorus: Pwede ba Pwede ba Pwede ba?

FYI
I’m only going to post original stuff from now on. Meaning, personal posts. If I am to reblog, it will only be for the reason that it is imperative to me telling a personal story.
Just felt like sharing. All those who follow me for my reblogs and not for my personal posts can unfollow me now. :)

You can always count on a great guy to give you...
Me: I know it's hard not to assume, which is the reason why I don't like this at all. Kasi ayoko mag-assume and mag-expect but I just can't help it. Know what I mean? Anyway, I super appreciate your input on this, but I just have to let things sink in. I'll learn to think and care less soon. Hehehehe
Gab: Well, it's not really thinking and caring less that you should work on I think, but rather discerning what is worth thinking and caring about. And hey, you're always welcome to rant about stuff.
Me: Wow, that's so true, but that's a lot harder, don't you think? Coz it's easier to just think and care less than know how much to think and care.
Gab: Yeah, it's hard. But the best things in life ain't easy or free.

A sad story
Nung pumasok ako UP, isa talaga sa pinakabigating expectations ko ang magka-boyfriend. Sa laki ba naman ng school na papasukan ko, hindi pa kaya ako makahanap? HAHAHAHA
Ayun, malay ko bang UP man ako, parang exclusive all-girls pala yung college na papasukan ko? HAHAHAHA
2 months na lang. Single pa din. Oh wells. :>
Moral of the story (cliche but I just had to learn it the hard way):...

A new song on the works
Just because I’m still so overwhelmed with the weekend that was.
Verse 1:
G One step forward Two steps back D No wonder we’re going nowhere G There’s something here I feel it D This to me just isn’t fair
Pre-chorus 1: Em D I’m trying hard to fight it Em D If only you could see Em D I have my reasons for it C D If only you would let me
Chorus: G Move on along D...

To me it goes like this:
1. God knocks on your heart. 2. You decide to let Him in. 3. God changes your heart. 4. You decide to change your ways. 5. God changes you.
So you see, the work is all Him, but He won’t until we let Him.

Think of it this way:
Every time you face difficult circumstances, it’s a reminder to draw closer to your joy source and cling desperately to your hope.
Who is your joy and hope?

What I learned today
But seek first His kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
-Matthew 6:33
Most of us seek Him so that we become full. So that we will get the best. So that we will have it all.
But is that true intimacy with the Lord? It’s like saying, “Oh God, I want to know you, because I know You have so many great things for me.”
Selfish....
jemcastro asked: Hey. I saw a post of yours asking where to get the chords of Higher+Wider+Deeper. It's in Citipointe Live's website. You can download their pdf music book for free. :)

Burning down
Let’s say breaking down is a cliff and burning out is the dangerous waters below.
Let’s say I’m on the edge. Falling any minute.
Yup.

Nakakainis. (translation: annoying)
Nakakairita. Naiinis ako sa sarili ko. Nagpababa nanaman ako dahil sa isang lalaki. (So irritating. I’m pissed at myself. I stooped down again for a a guy.)
Weakness ko talaga ‘to. Lalo na yung sobra mag-isip. Hindi talaga ako natutuwa. (This really is my weakness. Especially overthinking. I am not amused at all.)
Na-realize ko lang na nagpaka-baba nanaman ako dahil sa isang...

I don't feel like myself
Lately i’ve been feeling so empty. I get so easily depressed and down and I don’t know why.
There’s just this void.
I feel like I keep losing myself, then destroying myself, then so desperately trying to find myself again.
Such a vicious cycle.
Worst of all, I keep feeling like something’s missing, when nothing’s supposed to be missing because Jesus gave it all...

If there are two things I want others to learn...
1. Do not harden your heart.
I am not forcing you to believe anything, say anything, do anything, be anything. That is not up to me how you’re going to live your life. But nothing will ever penetrate you when your heart is a rock. You will never learn anything, feel anything, and know for sure, unless you are open and willing to let it in.
Go ahead, make your own decisions and choose...

So romantic.
Sa akin mo isabit ang iyong lumbay ‘Di kukulangin ang ibibigay
This part of Imago’s song Sundo is just so romantic. I don’t know why I can’t get over it.
For those who follow me here who cannot understand Filipino, i’ll try to translate it. Warning: My translation will suck. And will not come close to what the lyrics are really trying to express.
