What's my available balance?


Love is a two way process.


When you love someone, you may not expect anything from that person in return but we must face the fact that time will come you’ll feel yourself empty. We have what we call emotional bank. Just like ang ordinary bank, ditto natin iniipon yung mga feelings natin and at the same time, ditto ntin hinuhugot yung feelings natin. Since birth, madaming ng tao ang nadedeposit at nag wiwithdraw sa emotional bank natin. Parents, friends, relatives or even enemies.

Boy: I love you..
Girl: Aaww.. sweet.. thank you..
Boy: (silent. Yun na yon?) yeah. Sweet ko noh?

What if one day, we kept on “withdrawing” from our emotional bank ng walang kapalit? Just like any bank account. Mawawala at mauubos din kahit ang “maintaining balance” nito or yung pagmamahal sa sarili natin. Dito na dadating sa point na its either magsasawa at mapapagod ka na dahil wala ka ng paghuhugutan or kung mas masaklap, iiwanan ka na lang ng wala ka ng wala nang laman ang emotional bank account mo. Nalugi ka na, nasayang pa ang laman nito.
Just like any bank account, we have the power to control its “available balance”. We must know kung kelan mag wiwithdraw, kung ano ang idedeposit, at kung kelan dapat tumigil. Mahirap gawin kasi masarap gamitin ang laman ng emotional bank natin pero in the end, ikaw pa din ang maiiwanang luhaan pag wala nang natira sa’yo.

Say a little Prayer

Last Sunday, I attended our Church’s service. As always, I felt like Ptr. Bong was talking to me. He reminded us that God want us to pray at all times, for in praying we talk to Him. It’s our chance to tell Him whatever we would like to say. And recently, sad to say, I had less time to pray. I am guilty. I feel ashamed. Just like what the Lord told us in Thessalonians 5:16 - 18 16   Rejoice always,   17   pray continually,   18   give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. Regardless if we’re happy, sad, angry, terrified, lost, satisfied or anything, we have to pray. We have to pray to ask for guidance and most importantly, to glorify Him for everything. Starting tonight, I will try my very best to be more prayerful and to spare time for Him.

May oras ka pa ba?

“Anong pinaka sweet na bagay na ginawa ng partner mo sayo?” tanong nya. “Ang hirap isipin. Pero siguro during the time that I was assign sa Cagayan De Oro for a month and sinundan nya ko para samahan for one month.” Ang sagot ko. Bigla akong napaisip. Ano nga ba makakapag pasaya sa isang tao? Paano mo mararamdaman na mahalaga ka? Time. Mahirap ibigay ang oras. Mahirap maglaan ng oras. Bago mo pa maramdaman ang sweetness, ang thoughtfulness at lahat pa ng “ness” you need to spare some time. Mahirap naman magpaka sweet kung wala kang time, diba? Kahit sa phone, in person o sa chat pa yan – it all requires time. Ang pagbibigay mo ng oras sa mga taong mahahalaga sayo only shows kung gano sila kahalaga. Yung mga oras na ginugugol mo sa kanila, pwedeng pwede mo gamitin sa ibang bagay, sa ibang tao, pero mas pinili mo sya. Madalas, sa mga tao ngayon, hindi na napapansin ito. Akala maliit na bagay lang, na simple lang ang oras. Pero kugn tutuusin, halos lahat di pagkaakunawaan pwedeng mag uga
