Letter to Juliet

Medyo magda-drama lang ako.

Natatandaan mo pa ba nung magkakilala tayo at naging magkaibigan? Para kitang nililigawan, kapag nagte-text ka, agad agad akong sumasagot, kapag may problema ka agad akong nagpapayo. Natatandaan mo ba nung umiyak ka dahil sa mga problema mo, nakakatawa kasi ang awkward na sumandal ka sa balikat ko. Pero kahit na ganun natutunan kong na tanggapin ka ng buong buong.

Hindi lang kaibigan ang turing ko sa iyo, tinuring ding kitang kapatid at oo tinatawag kitang anak. Dahil sa naniniwala akong tinawag ako para mag disciple, ginawa ko yung mga alam kong ginawa ni Jesus sa mga disciples nya, pero mukhang hindi ata hanggang sa huli.

Alam kong nasa akin din ang problema, nagkulang ako ng panahon sa iyo. Natutuwa akong may mga bago kang kaibigan, at ang pinaka malapit sayo ngayon ay may malalim ding relasyon sa Panginoon.

Hindi ako nagseselos. Sa katunayan, I considered it pure joy to see you growing. Yun ang nais ko para sa iyo at maging sa mga iba pang inaalagaan ko.

Ngayon nais kong malaman mong nasasaktan ako dahil nararamdaman kong iniiwasan mo ako. Sana'y nagpaalam ka, mahirap kasing AWOL (absence without leaving). Natatakot akong kausapin ka at mangamusta dahil iisang sagot nanaman ang aking makukuha.. "okay lang po ako Ate."

Mahigit dalawang buwan na tayong di nagkakausap, bago pa nun di ka na din nakikipag usap sa akin o sa mga kasama natin sa Church. Gusto kitang makita at makausap. Gusto kong malaman mong mahal kita at masasabi kong malalim na ang pinagsamahan natin. Gusto ko ding malaman mong miss na kita.

Naisip ko lang, ganto din kaya ang nararamdaman ni Jesus nung iniwan sya ng mga disciples.

Sana magpaalam ka man lang or sana wag mong itapon lahat ng yon. Tye-tyempo lang ako ng magandang timing para makipag usap sa iyo. Kasama ka sa prayer list ko. Nawa'y lumago ka sa pananampalataya sa Panginoong Diyos.

Di kita kayang baguhin, ang kaya ko lang ay mahalin ka magbago man ang panahon. Ikaw ang kauna unahang tao na pinanalangin ko sa Panginoon para lumago sa pananampalaya. Ikaw din ang kaunanahang answered prayer ko about great commission.

Kung nagkulang man ako bilang discipler, sorry. Sorry Lord at sorry sayo.

Mula dito huhugot ako ng panibagong lakas para mag disciple muli, para magmahal muli, para mag invest muli kasi alam ko, ito ang career na worth working for and worth dying for.
I love you nak and never forget that Jesus loves you no matter what!

Sunrise to Sunset to Overnight

This is the first time I'll be blogging about a song and its pretty special since this song was originally written and performed by my friend Kit Comia. The first time I met Kit (thinking of right words to describe him) he was so loud and energetic. We're both part of Stann Pixman production that cover events and the day I met him we were about to cover an event. So the moment I saw him, I never really knew that he could write and sing this such remarkable song. I'll let you hear it.

I let some of my friends hear the song and they responded like “OMG! Sino kumanta nito, and gwapo ng boses.” I just can’t deny their reaction because it’s true.  Man! This song is amazing and let me bravely admit that I kept on playing this like many times. I just hope Kit won't fill his head with too much air. Hahaha. Then, I found out that this song is about imperfection of a guy in a relationship and his desire to become a better man for the one he loves. Maturity is one of the elements in this song that makes it beautiful and real. I mean, in reality not all guys would think such thought if they are not mature enough to take responsibility over their actions and to desire to be a better person. Another is giving the fight to God who is the author of our life. You know relationship (love life)  is an area of our lives that we should surrender to the Lord. This is my favourite part of the song:

“or close my eyes and pray to God and He will tell me what I need to know. To be the best man that I can be and bring the best out of me so when I kneel on the floor you can say yes even before I ask you.”

 Also, the concept of waiting is present here. I believe that the song promotes waiting and patience when the guy wanted to improve himself to be best man that he could be. Now, in the process of waiting space is present and there will be distance between the two of you. It is really hard to wait if you’re unproductive and passively waiting around. You probably quit the process. But if that waiting process could be activated in a way you could be productive then that will bring the best man out of you.

Well, I guess that’s all. After all, I can't describe every relevant factors in this song but just to wrap it up, Kit did it very well. Hope to hear more great songs from him that I could review. Hahaha. God bless you Kit! Pa-autograph nga. Fan mo na ako J
