The Letter



              I am navigating YouTube when I saw this heart-shaking video clip. I know this video is worth sharing for that's why I had it posted in my blog. I did have a teary-eyed when I watched this and somehow raped the Replay Button. I don't know why I was so overwhelmed by this video but I know this had reminded me of the love we have from our parents. I know a lot of people is dealing with this kind of situation, a hurtful rejection. I am not a parent but it seems that I felt what the parents had felt in the letter. The message is very clear! We need to love our parents back because they had loved us first . Whatever we are now, we owe a lot to them. Maybe another apparent reason why I broke up with tears just by watching this video is because I won't be home this Christmas with my mom and dad. Furthermore, I won't allow the distance for them not to feel how grateful I am having them as my parents.We may be apart by miles but not by heart.  Our parents need also our compassion, even a little. This Christmas, manifest the spirit of  love by showing them the love they expect from you. Not only this season but everyday in our lives. Let us not wait that our words for them would be left unspoken and our deeds be left undone.A simple "I love you mom and dad" would leap a big joy in their hearts.
             Advance Joyful Christmas to everybody! May the New Year bring prosperity and happiness to every family around the globe.

Nation Transformation


Is there anything good that will be happening in the Philippines? Or is there still hope for the Philippines to shine? I strongly believe that yes, there is still a glimmering chance for the Philippines to shine worldwide. Dubbed as the Pearl of the Orient Seas, I know God has plan for this nation. As of now, we can see that this country is struggling in its economy, anomalies and controversies popped up from different areas in life such as in moral, political and economical aspects. Few people said that the poverty that people are experiencing right now is a way too severe than before. The old men can tell, they are said to be prosperous before compared today. The gap between low standard families and high class families became so high which can be shown in the streets of Philippine cities today. Homeless people scatter everywhere, low employment rate and increasing poverty line is in the front line! Downcast and passivity is creeping out the Filipinos. This is the face of Philippine economy today, unwell. But I believe that this is not a hindrance for this country to experience growth. Maybe this country is experiencing failure but for sure, failure doesn't define us. God will make a way because He sees that many Filipino Christians had their burning passion to transform this nation not only economically but also spiritually. For He promised to the righteous, "I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing" in Genesis 12:2. Many Christians are praying for the healing of their land. And Filipinos do this as well, because we believe that Philippines is dedicated for God, and to God alone. The quest of nation transformation today is concerned mostly to the young generation because they will be the leaders of this nation soon. Furthermore, the campuses and homes are the melting pot of these youth to where they should be nurtured with character, morals and faith. It is true that this nation doesn't just need great and well-educated leaders but godly leaders who have the passion of Christ’s wisdom in their hearts. The leaders we need are not just who have been at Ivy League and prominent universities but leaders who committed excellence through His way. Thanks be to God because the seeds had been sown! New breeds are now raised up who will uphold the burning desire towards Nation Transformation just like what G12 churches had started and to other Christian churches as well. Let us develop the beauty of this country by minimizing our colonial mentality for it is God's promised land for us. It is the high time to bring back the flavor of the Philippines. This nation is really blessed by God in resources, people and faith. A nation considered as the strongest Christian country in Asia. The Philippines is now slowly taking its turn to the center stage, a high time to show that we are First class citizens not to be defined as slaves but rather royal-blooded citizens. In God we must trust and this nation shall prosper. Mabuhay ang dugong maharlika!

Life in Accounting

          College students have to be vigilant in dealing with circumstances, they have to be flexible enough in order to meet academic requirements, deadlines, schedules and to meet their target grades. One wrong move may consequence a huge disaster, you should adapt in the flow of the class or else you'll crash. Same as the concept of the Theory of natural Selection, you have to adapt or else you'll perish.
            It is a normal situation for every students to be asked by the question: What is the course are you taking right now?". An answerable question! I am always asked by this question with anyone else, and if I say "Accountancy po"... It is normal to hear their response if they heard that answer, with in fact it could always be spelled in a three-letter word : WOW. Why not? It is a fact that taking the degree of  Bachelor of Science in Accountancy is one of the hardest thing a student can do(though it's easy for some).People always admire Accounting students because they have the mindset that Accounting students are really great, intelligent, brilliant, and hardworking. Perhaps, this always happen to me, and sometimes I feel guilty whenever I become too pretentious that BSA is my course. But the truth about it is that it's hard for me to deal with this course. Behind every admiration that people give to me, is a nightmare that I tend to convert into a sweet dream. Sleeping shortly, dis-beautifying yourself, exposing on too much pressure, experiencing stressful moments with problems, abusing your wellness and sometimes emptying your pocket- these are just the characters you always have to deal with in order for you to survive this course. A course considered as the cream of the crop in most Business Schools. Honestly blogging, If can just twist back the time, I would take a different course and that is Broadcast Communication, which I think is really my passion. But it's too late and there is no turning back. There are no more undoing things and you had to choose whether to stay or to shift courses. Because of this, I come up with the perspective that I won't shift courses anymore. Since I already got this far, I should have perseverance.
            Whenever my classmates and I talk about this matter, some would eagerly say its time to shift as other wants to stay. And I always say " for me, it would be Accountancy or otherwise none at all" saying in a confident tone but with trembling heart. I would always think how my family supports me in any circumstances. That's why giving up for me is never and will never be a choice. Though is a very hard fight, they always fuel me up with prayers, virtues and love. A very big reason to strive hard.
             As of now, we are on board in discovering new shores across stormy seas. You have to anchor well or else you'll get shipwrecked. Wonder where to anchor? You have to be a good captain in your navigation. Anchor to the only trustworthy fortress and that is to the almighty, all-knowing, ever-loving and Awesome GOD! Accept Him as as your rock and fortress whom you should trust.
      To my fellow students regardless to the course you are taking now, I know you have lots of questions like "Can I pass the test?", "Will I survive this?", “Will I graduate on time?" and whatsoever. Always remember that in the midst of uncertainties, one thing is for sure- God will always back you up. For He said " I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future" (Jeremiah 29:11). Thus, I urge you to seek God always, in whatever you do, put God first and He will crown your efforts with success."
