i'm moving soon... don't want tblog anymore... 2006 na la pa kong 2005 archives... i'm moving to blogdrive maybe

friday... i've got no classes coz it's the University Christmas Party... but we still have classes next week...

going to Tondo later... going to the market with Petus... we're in charge of the food for Sunday's YM Christmas Party... for sure there would be lots of people in the streets...

still have classes till next week... then classes resume Jan 2... 10 days Christmas break???

from my window this morning
thank You God for another wonderful day to live for you

so many things happened... hope i could blog more often... i think i'm so loaded or i'm so just lazy and complacent...

don't know if i'm surrounded by nerds or i'm just the lazy cat in the class... these days i'm contented going to school unprepared... it sucks but it's true... if i haven't had enough sleep, so much is affected... the other day slept 8:00 pm and when i woke up, going to school felt very puyat na puyat pa... my body clock's so not normal... i easily get sleepy... hay!

got to work harder on my academics... people know me as a whiz kid... but these days, i just can't seem to get along with theories, formulas, equations, problems, exercises, work sheets...

still God is great...

sunday afternoon to Cuneta Astrodome

SUGAR RUSH!!! sunday w/ matt and petus
my 1st ice craze after the 34-day Daniel fast which ended last Saturday
i missed sweets and meat... but it's fine, doings God's will is sweeter than sugar!

the air is getting chilly these days...  hope we would have an early vacation... hope up to next week na lang kami... still not sure...

had facial cleaning yesterday after school... i didn't know it hurts that much... i thought the pain was bearable... super sakit pala... didn't believe mathew eh... totoo pala

have the "Experiencing the Heart of Jesus"-Book One and the Leader's Guide by Max Lucado, one of my favorite authors... hope this could be effective for our GG

monday... it's getting dark... haven't done anything productive yet... woke up late... and slept in the afternoon... i guess because of yesterday's activities...

started on a new ministry yesterday.. yahoo!... enjoying it... taking charge of the I.T. affairs of the church... it's a TECHIE MINISTRY... hehehe!

i love taxation... it's analytical yet fun... practical... unlike other subjects na di mo malaman kung sang planeta hinugot... la lang

received a message from kuya pogi (ay alfred pala) through friendster... kakatuwa naman... those little things, i appreciate a lot...

ang weekend ni kirby... friday, we had our cellgroup... my first friday to handle the college group with 'te Faith... before the reorganization, transition stage of YM, i was handling joseph the dreamer with petus as leader... it was mostly a bunch of high schools with just a few college... then there came the transition... after the transition, i was attending the college group as a member, as a listener, an expectator... it was a challenging time in my life... through that phase, God challenged me to grow, emotionally and spiritually... it was when i really discovered my leadership... it was when i understood what it really meant to be a leader... a real leader doesn't need position to influence... He was teaching me to be patient... those days, i didn't know where my leadership was heading... He was teaching me to trust His plans... if not for that phase, i didn't mature like this... if i've not gone through those times, i wouldn't learn what God wanted me to learn... i've learned to seek for God's favor above all, not people's favor... if i've not gone through those times, i would just be satisfied with my relationship with God... it gave me this thirst for Him... it gave me this passion, a burning passion, not just mere emotions... all those times, God was preparing me pala, for a responsibility He is entrusting me...

it's just amusing how God works... you won't understand things most of the time... but that's the thrill of it... you'll learn to trust God and hold on to his promises and grace... then later on God will reveal Himself... and you can't help but be amused... He works wonderfully... everything's carefully and wonderfully laid out... beyond words!

now it's college group... still, trusting God's providence... 

saturday... no classes still because of the rally... typical saturday afternoon at church... we're preparing for or Christmas Caroling... and some duties... got to talk with buds, share our lives, insights... 

it was Missions Sunday... missions: you must have a heart for the people, eyes with tears crying out to God, and feet that moves...

had a Praise and Worship Seminar right after the service... the speaker was Ptr. Jun Jun... it's always nice to see him... his life is a blessing... it was all about leading the Worship Service... learned many things... have a drive to achieve excellence for God's work...

led worship in the vesper service... it's the heart that worships...

we had an overnight at church... an overnight devoted to sharing, bonding and prayer... it wasn't part of any youth activity... it was a concious call for us, our circle of friends to unite in prayer... it was vigie, nash, louieboy, lester, rain, pets, mathew, and me... it was a time when we share our spiritual lives-- our relationship with God, how God was dealing in our lives, or dreams and visions, struggles... it was a way to strengthen each other through sharing and accountability...  had an open forum... affirmed each other and some corrections and things that needs rebuking... we prayed for our concerns-- we prayed for our nation- the Philippines, the nations, the government, the families, the youth of the nation, schools and universities, the church, the leaders, the Youth Ministries and leaders, members... the night till dawn was too short for sharing and prayers... it's all because of God... without Him, all things are nothing... it's all to Him!!!

then monday morning i went home... tapos na po! 

yahoo... ang saya ng life!... came home from school... had just one subject, 3 hrs. nga lang... the subject after that was moved on saturdays, it would also be a three-hour once a week meeting... it's fine... had quizzes as usual... yesterday and today... i think i'm already immune to quizzes, i don't get that tense "i haven't read or i'm unprepared" feeling anymore... hay... my friends are teasing me if i what i have enrolled is BS Exams...

got more time at home after school during midweeks... unlike last sem... good thing God cleared my path and he removed unecessary things... i'm not working as a junior accountant in the National Office anymore since the sembreak... i was planning to give up the post because i was really overloaded last semester-- having to balance school, ministry, family, my personal relationship with God, recreation, and other new things to learn plus my body needs more time to sleep than the average person...  but no one's gonna take over... and i couldn't leave things without someone to take charge because we were just in the process of rearrangeing their system of accounting coz there were problems in the previous periods' system before i came... i wanted to quit but then still thinking... i prayed for it... on the exact day when i was going to tell them that i'll be asking them to release me, Ate Leah (ka-tandem ko sa finance records) told me that there's already an accountant working full-time effective the next week... i was so relieved that not only i was released from the post but there was instantly an answer to the needs of the IEMELIF National Office... i won't be leaving the tasks hanging... God really moves even before you start doing things yourself...

my working experience there for the past months was a humbling experience... it is where i learned that whatever you do, you're doing it for Christ... everything you do on earth is entrusted to you by God... everything is a ministry... even making financial reports is a ministry... a work cheerfully done is a work well done... i learned to do all things as if you're serving God, not men... technically and practically, i learned many things... have gotten to use my skills... i also got to work with wonderful people... favorite ko na tao don, si Ptr. Rivera, general secretary ng IEMELIF Church... he's old yet pleasant and friendly... full of gentleness, a man of God... i also learned to be submissive... i thank God for the times i spent there, working for the church, working for Him... and added it would be a good thing to be on my resume someday... for now, got to prioritize things in life...  

friday and i've got no classes... yahoo... that spared me from a whole day school day... should have 2 exams today... advanced accounting and financial management... haven't reviewed anything... after doing my taxation assignment yesterday, haven't got any time to review coz i went on a meeting in Cubao in the evening... when jimbo came home late afternoon, he had no classes, the school gates were closed due to the rally... he said there would be no classes today... i didn't rely on it that much... 

the meeting was great... it's for something i'm excited about... i'm praying for it for the past weeks... still be praying for the next months... hayy... ang galeng... i was really encouraged... thank you God for Your ways... hay... WHEN GOD GUIDES, HE PROVIDES... that's what i've learned... those people of God, encouragement...

it was late when i came home... the classes thing was still unclear.. called hanna, still not sure if we have classes... so with the hope of not having classes, and i was tired and can't face my books anymore, i just slept after my devotion... and not planning to wake up early ( i normally wake p 4 am during schooldays)... 

woke up 7:30 and have received an SMS that there was no classes... so here i am bumming around... later i'll do house chores before going to Tondo...

had a great weekend... the guys we visited sunday last week were back in YM... a little encouragement helps a lot with these young people just starting to get deeper with God... Friday's growth group was great... a night with God... Sunday's fellowship was about family

i'm always looking forward to times spent with God... it's so asteg to be with Him... i just can't comprehend His goodness... it's beyond what we could think of...

ang galeng talaga!... things i'm not expecting are coming my way... but of course i'm expecting great things from Him... but His ways are different... way better than my plans!!! asteg talaga... basta next year... hay i'm excited... i'll still be praying for it though i already got an answer... hope tuloy-tuloy... hay thank you talaga big God!

as for my nation...

JESUS, Panginoon ng Bayang Pilipinas!!!

i've got no classes on Thursdays... i like my schedule for this sem... i can rest on Mondays after church day... whole day on school during Tuesdays... half day on Wednesdays... rest day again on Thursdays... whole day on Friday... then to church in the evening for CG... Saturday half day again... and to church if there's something to do in the afternoon...

new blog?! got the background from JREV... that's my hand... trying out things with my camera... photo freak!

haven't posted what happened on JREV Convergence in Araneta i guess two weeks ago... it was great!... God revealed many things to me... i thank God for reminding me of my dream for my nation... all along i was sleeping, figuratively... and literally... it isn't hopeless... or God is bigger than the problems our nation is facing these times... i thank God for awakening me... there's so much that i can do...

shine upon the Philippines oh Lord!

at the cross... it's where my sins were pinned...
He loves me... He died for me... my Saving Grace

it isn't hopeless... i pray for the nations... every nation for God...

November 1 today... i'll be staying home the whole day... so many people everywhere... better stay home...

i thank God for the blessings... they just keep coming... He's good!

next week pa pala classes namin... i thought it's tomorrow... good thing!... haven't recovered much...

baket nawindang na naman ang mundo ko?... pare ang hirap na namang mag-isip... some heart matters... tsk tsk tsk 

on fire!

youths!

asteg!

kuya ronald in the house!

A.P.A.W. this afternoon... All-out Praise and Worship at CBAG... Mla. Faith led the praise and worship in the first set... pictures... ay tomorrow na lang... tagal mag-upload eh antok na ko!

Tuesday morning... sembreak na!

My blog was pretty abandoned for two months i guess... i'm a normal Kirby again... i thank God for my grades! thank God coz i won't be taking summer classes for now, i passed everything... but i got a 3... it's fine though...  answered prayers.... next time i'll be praying for any passing grade but a 3... God is good!

not a possibility of being a Cum Laude anymore... already got a 3... i'm not bitter though... i'm still very thankful for my grades... when I got them i was very relieved... 

i'm enrolled already... got a bunch of new classmates... from first year we were the majority of the class... but now we are the aliens in the class... it's good, for a change!

my birthday has passed...19 na ko! nyay!... spent it preparing for vigielyn's debut... the party was exactly on my birthday last saturday... and i was the MC...

my dad is already home from Thailand sunday night... we were home alone for more than a week... he attended a conference in Chiang Mai for the presidents of the schools which are members of ATESEA, a league of Bible schools and seminaries in southeast asia... my dad went home with my lola from Bangkok... ayun OK naman sila Elois daw tsaka sila Madelaine, TimTim, Tita Aida, and Tito Oliver...

later!

i've got no classes today because of the CWTS thing at school... woke up early... just did the laundry all by myself this morning... finished at around 12... haven't helped in the laundry for so long coz i wasn't always home on saturdays... i was looking forward to doing the laundry since last night... it's fun to do home stuff once in a while... but now, i'm wasted... tired... but it's fine

eating lunch right now... rice, spring rolls, chicken, carrots and potatoes all in one bowl... too lazy to eat in the table in a plate... 

got another exam result... i passed the Financial Management... 

school's still the same... hope i could do better this second half of the sem... the last years i wasn't having fears of failing, and i was setting goals not to get grades lower than 2 when i was in 1st & 2nd year... but now it's really tough... i just want to pass all the subjects... 

i'm happy coz it's a long weekend... later i'll be going out, as usual on weekends and return on monday after classes... my classmates are always wondering why do i bring those large bags... i'll be picking up the Bible i ordered at PCBS Farmers then go to Tondo... 

been struggling with something these past days... still, i know that God is just... He sees the heart and the efforts even when it is oblivious to others... i'm learning something... and when it comes back, it'll be better... i've got God on my troop... this will be a training ground, it'll be good when I return to the battlefield... He's never unfair even if the world is...

but then even if my ego's down, my heart is still happy... discovered something ... ang saya ng puso ko!... sa laki ng eyebags ko nitong mga nakaraang araw, ayun ka pa?!... i wasn't expecting this, and i never thought of it ever... basta masaya!... and i'm not blurting it out to anyone... :)    ;

i'm back... first time to blog in our new PC, ilang weeks na to ngayon ko lang nagamit for surfing... nakakalula!

i'm back in cyberspace after too long... too much mail on my inbox... messages on Friendster... and friend requests... there was some girl who sent me a message...

elow pow?san u pow ngaaral? kala ko pow ur a boy
kaya kala ko ang swerte ko n kc ang cute m s
picture e...............

nye! girl yan ah... mukha ba talaga kong lalake? hehe... there was also a bunch of girls who i don't know in my friend request... hope they added me  coz they're looking for a friend or they find me interesting to be a friend and not because they think i'm a cute boy, hehe... yuck!

girl ako noh!

i'm done with all the mid-term exams... thank God!... for 2 Sundays and a Wednesday i was taking mid-terms... my first time to take seven departmental exams... the last exams were yesterday and passing that last test paper for the mid-terms to the proctor just felt good... this morning  got the result of one, i passed Cost Accounting... some exams were tough... whatever happens, i just trust God... i know that things would fall into place...

too many things happened... after check-ups to the doctor, x-ray, dungeon seige, ice cream, friends, laughs, tears, gallons of energy drinks just to stay up, haircut, fellowships, hair treatment, transitions, raindrops, boredome, joy, adjustments, thoughts, irritations, text messages, discoveries, stories, book chapters, appreciation, jumbo pencils, eyebags, bad hair days, trash, scribbles, daydreams, dreams, chocolates, frustrations, prof. grudges, nuts, insanity, hayyy.... still alive... God's grace! 

my blog is fine... wala na yung narrow column... i don't want the colors na... sawa na ko!

we've only got one subject to attend today... yeah that's why i love Accountancy week... but I don't like the seminars...

yesterday was the opening of the Accountancy week, just when we were having the parade, it suddenly rained... hehe, parang langgam yung mga tao... nakakatuwa!

last night was ate elois' send-off party after the prayer meeting... we had a liitle gathering for her before she leaves for Thailand tonight... she'll be working there... we'll be sad and we'll be missing her... more than a cousin, she's a friend, a leader, a sister and a tropa... perhaps this is God's time of blessing her... I pray that God would bless her and her family...

my grandma is also leaving tonight with elois... for a vacation... they'll be staying with tita aida and her family... it's good thing for my lola to experience different kind of things... i know she'll enjoy there, though she's hesitant to go...

school's fine... though i'm getting 3/10s or 50% it's fine... it made me came back to my senses that this is not Marymount anymore... this is college, and it's a real world... you won't get A's by just sleeping your heart out... working on my time management coz it sucks!

we had a special number last Sunday in the morning service... first time for all of us holding instruments in the morning service except for mathew, our vocalist... me, petus, cherrie, lester , louie... it was the alternative version of "When God Ran"... except for some minor flaws sa bridge... it was fine... we did our best and it was for God... our music and our hearts, just for Him...  

last Sunday was also Katedral KI's (their youth ministry at Katedral)anniversary... attended their fellowship in the afternoon... it was inspiring how the ministry is still standing despite of the things that happened in the past... God really moves amazingly... and blessings keep coming no matter what happens... it's also good to see Jimbo and Abbie getting involved in the ministry... that was my prayer for them before... answered prayer huh!

the fellowship was great... it's also fun being with them... it's nice coz i've got to see the best of both worlds... I've got friends in Mla. Faith... and Katedral!... love 'em all... i thank God for them....

more to come...

i'm fixed!... loose screw lang pala...

seriously, i thank God for always redeeming me... just when things seem out of place, He's there... bringing me to my knees...

God's grace... asteg!

my blog looks horrible i know! something's wrong with the archives... pls. bear with it... 

busy day... don't know what i'm feeling right now... maybe overwhelmed, maybe tired, maybe thankful, maybe enlightened, maybe wasted, maybe frustrated, maybe refreshed, maybe irritated... hope it'll be better tomorrow... just hold on to God...

another week done! yey! weekend na naman! kaka-stress! masaya naman!

i'm here at an internet cafe near Manila Faith, waiting for our cell group... came early eh! i'll be stayin here at Tondo up to Monday morning...

i got my first ever pay check last wednesday... since i officially worked at the National office this june, last summer kasi whenever lang ako available pag nasa bahay lang ako, they gave me love gift, ngayon check na...  it's a nice feeling... not just because of the money, it's fulfilling to know that you have worked hard for that money you earned... i feel independent... pero feeling lang yon... had it encashed yesterday and paid some of my books...

got a full packed weekend... hope i could have some sleep that i missed during the week...
