Tell Me a Love Story

-
Tell me a love story greater than His love for us, and I am sure that that one could never encompass the love Jesus has shown us, a gift for humanity - His life.


When I was still a child, I wondered what is the meaning of the cross that I see in churches. I was then very small that I could not understand what the old folks have been trying to let me know.

But when I grew older, I have already understood that I was and am a sinner and He is the one who shed His blood to wash away my sins.

This Holy Week, let us join the Christian world in celebrating God's goodness. I am so awed by His love for me that Lent in the Philippines is not only a reason for rejoicing because of the long holidays but the day to rejoice and reflect on God's unconditional love for us.

I am so blessed the previous year and this year, a clear manifestation of God's love for me and my family. A proof that His love for us is way beyond borders of sin, that even if we do things unpleasing in His sight, still, His love is the best He can give us.

What's the best love than God giving His only Son to die for us in the cross?

So tell me, do you have any love story greater than this?

i remember the song "there's no greater love than this, there's no greater love than this, that a man would give his life for a friend."

I used to go to this student center when I was in grade school and at that place, there were many religious comic-booklets. One that caught my attention has the title The Greatest Love Story Ever Told, with a single wooden cross on the cover. True enough, no love can be greater that what the Bible teaches us.

If I was born on Jesus time, I would probably be his girlfriend LOL. He's the only one I believe in in Christianity, pardon me.

Warning! Allergic Reactions Appear

And what would that be? You would surely ask that. Last week, I found myself scratching my legs because they are so itchy. There's this blotches in it wherein the skin looks like it has been stung by a bee, or a mosquito bite. I scratched it and whoa, it became wider. It was all over my legs, mostly near below the knee part. I was aghast at what has become of my legs, and thinking it was allergy from something, I bought myself Celestamine for the allergy. Celestamine is an anti-allergic medicine. However, this med will surely keep you drowsy. A few hours after I had the pill, the itch and the blotches were gone, leaving my legs some map-kind of red leftover from my scratches. And so i was happy. The following day, I had been watching my diet and the foods I eat, thinking the allergy came from the santol I had(though I ate none of it again), the blotches were again visible in my legs. This time, it spread through my arms, and my hands. I felt very itchy that I could only cry my e

Famous Cultural Landmark in Surallah, South Cotabato

We went to Lake Sebu last Saturday to celebrate my brother's 16th birthday, and while on our way to witness the majestic falls, we were already planning to drop by Surallah to check out their most famous cultural landmark, the round ball. I do not really know how it was named the Round Ball since it seems so redundant to be called as such but to question it, honestly, won't give you much intelligent answer as we also have round balls in Koronadal City and General Gantos City. Actually a rotunda, but ever since has been called the Round Ball. Unveiled last March 15, 2011, it’s towering, obelisk-like central piece of a 2-string lute points straight to heaven , silhouetted by the blue sky at more than 60 feet above the ground. Called he’galong by indigenous T’bolis, the slim lute seemingly grows from the core of a huge, endemic , bulb plant bohong, the elongated leaves of which spread out in radial fashion .

The First Ever Traditional B'laan Wedding Ritual I Witnessed

It was a beautiful Saturday morning when we visited Kinilis, in Polomolok. I was with Nanards and two visiting friends from Davao City, Emi, and her American husband, Joshua. They wanted to go see the kafe balos because it has been very famous now, and they wanted to invest into the business. Sir Fred mentioned there was a tribal wedding that very day so it was a fortunate day for us to witness something different, a customary tribal wedding rite. We went inside the house for they explained to us that the traditional B'laan wedding is being held inside the house of the bride where the couple has to sit on a mat and surrounded by relatives and witnesses. The bride was very beautiful that day, she was adorned with T'nalak inspired accessories, and her hair was placed with a beautiful headdress made of brass. Her hips was surrounded by a brass belt where hundreds of small bells were making noise each time she moves. And she was fully clothed in a colorful B'laan attire, and s
