Bridge

Hindi ko pa ata nabasa sa bible ang salitang “tulay” o “bridge.” Pero kung meron mang sumisimbolong tulay sa bible eh si Kristo na yun. Siya ang tulay papunta sa Ama.

Madali lang, tao ang gumawa ng tulay. As in yung gawa sa bato, bakal, kahoy, lubid. Tao ang gumawa nyan for sure. Tao rin ang pwedeng sumira ng tulay na ginawa nya. Minsan pwedeng kalikasan, pero madalas tao. At sa huli, tao rin ang may kakayahang ayusin kung ano mang sira yung nangyari sa tulay na ginawa nya.

Social being naman ang tao eh, kaya niya naimbento ang tulay eh para makasama yung taong nasa kabilang side. Tapos dumating na yung panahong magkasama na sila, minsan hindi naman maiiwasan yung tampuhan, galitan, awayan. Dito nasisira yung tulay na ginawa nila. Possible pa kayang maayos yung tulay? Oo, possible kung pareho na nilang pagtutulungan maayos yung sira.

Yung ganitong sitwasyon, simple lang. Mag-usap. Makipag-usap ka.

Magtatatlong taon na kong naglilingkod sa Our Lady of  Fatima, ( Oo, dumarating talaga yung blog na to pagmalapit na anniversary ng simbahan. J) Naisip ko na “bridging the gaps” ang ilahad.  Marami na kong nakilala sa Fatima sa loob ng tatlong taong yun, yung iba naging best friends at mga malalapit na kaibigan pa nga. Pero sa kabila nun, meron pa ring mga pagkakataon na nagkakaroon ng mga kaaway at nauuwi sa di pagpapansinan o yung walang kibuan. Hindi healthy yung ganong set-up, nakakatakot yun. Naisip kong isang maliit na simbahan lang ang ginagalawan namin, kaya’t walang lugar para mas lalo pang paliitin ang kinikilusan, bagkus ay dapat pang mas palawakin ‘to. At nangyayari na nga ito, nagsisimula na ngang palawakin ang mga tulay na dati’y may mga sira. May mga tulay na rin namang bago pa lamang na binuo.

Ito na ata yung bigay ng simbahan sa tao, yung pagbubuklod. Pagkakaisa. Partikular kong tinutukoy ang mga kabataan. Salamat at nakikita kong unti-unti tayong nagiging ISA. Yung mga dating hindi nagpapansinan kahit na magkakilala naman eh nagbabatian na pagnakakasalubong sa daan o kung saan man. Nai-set aside na yung mga personal na issue.

Salamat rin sa mga taong nagsisimula ng ganitong pagbabago. Patunay lang na handa na tayo sa mga humarap sa Pagbabago.

Isa sa pinakaimportanteng bagay na natutunan ko sa PRex, ay yung “reconciliation.” Ang pagkakaroon ng constant reconciliation sa iba at sa Panginoon ang siyang dahilan kung bakit matatag ang simbahan. Di muling pinagbubuklod ang mga may dating alitan at di pagkakaunawaan.

Sa darating na July 27, ikadalawampung anibersaryo ng Our Lady of Fatima, makasaysayan dahil dalawang dekada nang nabubuhay ang espirito ng pagkakaisa at pagbubuklod.

mga bagong tala sa kalangitan.
from changing tides to the constellations of stars. it’s been 2 years since I first came to Lubang, that time I was still a participant. Today, as we came back, I was the facilitator Ngayon ko lang masasabi na mas nakumpleto na ang pagyo-youth camp ko. I was able to share my knowledge, skills, insights and affection to these new YC Graduates.

planning this was hard but the fruits were worth it. First and foremost, I would like to congratulate the YC graduates namely Karyll, Frances, Raphael, Renzie, Jerromel, Aljon, Jomar, Red, Nicko, Ate Epy and “ATE” Ibess. :) maraming tinawag, pero kayo ang nakarating. Its for a purpose as Pads say so. May dahilan kung bakit kayo nakarating sa Lubang and I thank the Lord for making me the instrument of making you all come to Lubang.

i always have in mind that YC is a powerhouse that creates church leaders. Indeed it is. nasabi ko sa isa sa mga participant na pwede na ata akong magresign bilang presidente ng Ministry of Altar Servers (MOAS) dahil alam kong may mapagiiwanan na ko ng tungkulin. Masaya ko dahil 3 sa mga participants ay pawang galing sa MOAS. requirement sa YC ang edad, 14 years old  and above, pero dahil sa nakita kong katangian ng 2 sa mga MOAS, pinilit kong maisama sila sa batch na ito. salamat sa inyo, Karyll, Renzie at Raph.

Sa mga hindi naman nakarating, hindi ibig sabihin na hindi kayo nararapat para sa youth camp. siguro hindi pa ito yung oras para maging bahagi kayo nito. may mas magandang pagkakataon pa siguro para kayo ay makabahagi nito. Batch 7 kayo for sure. :)

tulad nang unang blog ko tungkol sa Youth Camp, eto na naman. Seryoso na.

Salamat ulit Pads, sa pagbukas ng tahanan mo para makabuo ng mga bagong leaders ng simbahan. Kahit may mga di tayo pagkakaunawaan minsan, napagtiwalaan mo pa rin ako para dalhin ang grupo sa Lubang. Salamat.

Sa mga katulong kong magfacilitator, Jeck, Chimby, Monique, Angeli, Ram, Sarah, Kim, Aaron, Ate Jhing, Zyra, Totoy: salamat at nakagawa na naman tayo ng mga bagong mamumuno sa simbahan pero higit sa lahat, mga bagong kaibigan. Ngayon ko nasabing buo ang youth camp experience dahil naging faci na rin ako, nairelate ko ang mga una kong natutunan nung batch 5 sa mga  batch 6 ngayon. :)

mga participants: Karyll, Frances, Renzie, Raph, Jerromel, Aljon, Jomar, Red, salamat sa pagtanggap ng hamon na maging mga participants ng huling batch. youth leaders na kayo, pero kalakip ng titulo ang responsibilidad sa simbahan at sa mga tao nito.

at dahil sobrang namiss ko na namang magblog, iisa-isahin ko na ulit. :)

jomar, pare: thank you dude sa pagtitiyagang makarating sa Lubang, effort mo ang dahilan kung bakit ang ilan sa inyo ay nakarating rin. ngayon nagsisimula pa lang ang service mo sa church, sana ay hindi ka magsawa. at dahil ikaw rin ang sasama kay pads sa paglipat, alagaan mo siya kagaya ng pag-aalaga naming ginawa sa kanya. salamat pare! :)

Red, dude: at first you were hesitant dahil walang cr, pero despite that nakarating ka pa rin. thank you for being true during the getting to know activities. at least were aware of what you can and cannot do. keep on serving the lord as you get back to Manila! :) thanks dude!

Frances: ang prinsesa ng grupo, pero ang pinakamalakas ring mambully! HAHAHA thank you for accepting my challenge to be one of the participants.

HAHAHA! #memeface! thank you sa pagpaparealize sa ugali kong nang-iisnob pag di okay. kung minsan ay nagagalit ako sa inyo dahil gusto kong mapabuti ang paglilingkod na nasimulan nyo, natin. at salamat rin dahil naging okay tayo bago pa man magLubang. thank you rin dude at naging tulay ka (kayo ni Carla) para mapagbuklod ang MCA at MOAS pati na ang ibang ministries. malaking tulong na unti-unting nagiging isa ang mga kabataan, gaya ng sabi ko kay raph, kayo na nga ang magmamana ng “trono” ng MOAS. sana patuloy nyong mapalago ang nasimulan natin. pag-uwi nyo pa lang magsisimula ang tunay na paglilingkod sa simbahan, always remember that I will always be there to support you in what ever endeavors you have for the ministry. tandaan nyo dude: “HINDI KO IIWAN ANG SIMBAHAN KAHIT NA MAG-ISA NA LANG AKO” nangako kayo sa lupa ng Lubang at sa harap namin at alam ko namang pangangatawanan nyo un. Wag nang maging tamad! Salamat and congrats bro! :)

ate Epy, and Ate Ibess ; thank you for also coming to lubang to share insights with our youth leaders, thank you kahit na isang araw lang eh nagawa nyong mag effort para tumakas sa busy streets ng Makati. i know that you two found peace and serenity kahit na saglit lang. thank you for making me happy :) (personal eh) hahaha! :)

Daddy Dax: thank you for inspiring our youths. thank you for sharing your insights on how they will know each other not just by name. Me too, i was able to know more about these kids because of that activity. looking forward to be your student someday! :) thanks dad!

as we go home, napag-usapan namin ang pangalan ng grupo. TALA, unconsciously, it was guided by the Blessed Mother, naalala ko tuloy ung laylayan ng damit ng Our Lady of Fatima, may isang star dun and that concludes the name of the group. it gives me goosebumps when Pads was talking about the Cabra Island.

KUDOS Batch 6 TALA! KUDOS SA LAHAT NG YOUTH CAMP BATCH. Sabi nga ni pads, 6 is already more than enough. the initiative was there, we just have to continue what was started.

“Mula sa ALAB na nagbigay ng apoy, ipinasa na sa mga TALA ang pagbibigay ng paggabay sa mga bagong katabaan ng simbahan.”

Tell me Who your Friends are.

20/20: These were the write ups from my true friends. Initials! :))) Supposed to be my 20th Birthday blog. Sorry for the late upload.

by SJT:D

What can i say about Ed? Well we’ve been classmates for four years, and we’ve been friends for almost 8 years. He’s one of the persons that i think i know better. Ed is a very kind and outgoing person. He loves adventures, he is open-minded and also one of the smartest person that I know. Ed is one of my best buddies up to now (even though we’re not going in the same school and not classmates anymore), still we keep in touch, and as always, he’s always been there. I see him as one of my true friends. He’s that guy that is ready to share whatever he has. He’s always there when you needed him especially in times of pain and troubles. He never failed to say hi whether it’s on facebook chat or text messages. He really shows to all of his friends that he cares about ‘em. I like him the way he’s always been ever since the day we’ve became friends.

by KRA :D

Epoy is one of the greatest friend we will ever met.
He is also called The Destroyer due his clumsy and herculean hands.
Loves COWGIRLS . Hahaha
He never doubted Him in times of reckoning. (A.K.A. God)
An intimidating one but never wants to fight .
Got a strength of a Bear and mind of King Solomon .
Very skilled and determined in Photoshop.
He got the greatest talent of ALL : Common Sense.
Yeah , he’s a fat one but never became a sloth.

Thanks guys!

DPWH Photoshop Failby Pierre Albert San Diego
I’m a civil engineer by profession and I love my job and if there’s one thing I hate it’s people that fabricate their inspection reports. Why? Inspection reports are very important in our field, if the inspection report is erroneous, this might lead to a wrong and/or costly design. Aside from that, it might lead to a very difficult project implementation, and worse, not prepare others from potential safety risks of the site.
Which is why  I was uber-pissed when I was checking my updates in FB at around lunch time yesterday and I saw this.
Now, if you didn’t have knowledge in Adobe photoshop, you would’ve just glanced at it and moved on with your life, but I’ve used the software since I was in high school (I’m 30 now) so I kinda noticed something weird.
