If you are to look at the title of my blog, you will notice that it’s very fitting to have it as the title for the reason that the last blog that I had was way back last January and it was even entitled “A renewed fire for blogging.” It’s funny because I wrote that blog with the very message of bringing myself back to the blogging world, but the next thing I knew, I blogged after six months. Looking back on what happened with the last months that I didn’t blogged, I realized somehow that one factor which took a toll on the regularity of my blogging was not really time, but my willingness to put myself available to think through my experiences and learnings and then making it tactile by typing it in blog site just like this for others to read and hopefully, be able to identify with it.
I am now more conscious that availability is a matter of the attitude, and not a matter of time. You could have so much time and not be available, but it’s possible to be available even if you don’t have much time -and it is easy to be available even if you don’t have much time-given that the thing that’s going to pull your availability is something that you love to do.
With this, I think that one thing I need to work out is the love to express the personal revelations i had through blogging.
Any comments or suggestions? Feel free to add.
r seat and spending a centavo? This was the case for me and Elleke last October 4, Sunday as the two of us had a mini “around the world tour” using a website called wikimapia.org. In this website, you would be able to trace where the roads go, see famous landmarks, buildings and even your own house because it enables you to see everything in an aerial perspective, 
meaning you get to see the whole world from the top. I had fun and I really enjoyed it with Elleke as we are able to see parts of Europe and even her house in Holland. I felt like a kid again navigating the world using the site and it proved to me that enjoying doesn’t have to be expensive and touring around the world could be possible even without leaving the comforts of your seat.
Last September 25, a tropical storm named “Ondoy” passed by the country which made a very life-changing effect to the Filipinos. The storm which was classified as a tropical storm only and not even a typhoon (storms are techinally weaker than typhoons) devasted almost everything on its path not sparing even celebrities, politicians and high-end people. Everyone has their own story to tell (whether it is a testimony or bad experience) on how this storm literally changed their lives. I myself has my own story to share. Its our first time in my 21 years of living in San Mateo, Rizal to be devastated by such flood. its even my first time to experience such calamity wherein your neighbors have to evacuate and move in safer ground. I watched in grief as I see mothers carrying their children, people you don’t know that are actually putting their life in the line as they pass huge flood. I’m so thankful that me and my family were spared from being swept by the flood, though water came in up to the waist level of our home, our aplliances, clothes, furnitures were not corrupted by the water. God’s promise of protection to those who believe in Him is so evident as my family was able to endure the hardships of being in the midst of the calamity.
ere struck by the storm.Victory U-Belt and other Victory centers were proactive in the relief operations and rehabilitation of the mud-stricken places, by helping in cleaning houses and streets and giving comfort to those who were depressed. Seen here are some shots taken at the place of the relief operations of Victory U-belt. I’m so proud of my church buddies!

de an FX going to Fairview. I seated in front of the FX with the driver and a man chatting with each other. The volume of their voice makes it inevitable for me to listen to what they’re talking about. They were discussing with each other the love they had for their children, that the man sitting beside me even uttered “kaya ko ngang wag nang kumain at magutom ako ‘wag lang yung anak ko.” I quite actually do not care about what they are discussing, but the moment I heard those statements, those lines tugged in my heart.
As I end, I want to leave this message for those people reading this blog. That the God we serve is a Father that enables Himself to be involved in the every day living of His children. He is not detached from us. I want to encourage everyone to “Let Him have all your worries and cares, for He is always thinking about you and watching everything that concerns you.” 1Peter5:7
ers, last September 8, Tuesday, I was privileged to be taught in Adobe Photoshop by Venoit Dee, one of the seasoned campus ministers in Victory U-belt. Adobe is used to edit and create newsletters, posters, pictures, etc. She taught me how to insert images, how to distort it, make it bigger or smaller and more! I was kinda’ surprised to know that it’s quite simple and i could learn Adobe in just one sitting. I was delighted to understand also how it goes and how my notion with Adobe before that it’s not “user-friendly” was dramatically erased!
nt Exercises for the School of Campus Ministry. It was a night to remember for the new staff of ENCM-Ubelt; Sheldon Silva and Kristine Luv Corona as they will be added to the roster of seasoned campus ministers of the University Belt and ENCM as well. I was also able to get a glimpse of how it’s gonna be for me when I will be graduating next year at the School. I got excited for my school at the Fort next year because I know that it will equip me to do God’s work in the campuses.
