Blog Entry Review about Rick Warren's "The Greatest Advice"

I have read a article by Rick Warren entitled "THE GREATEST ADVICE" from the book The Purpose Driven Life. It's about, of course, advices about life. The moment I've read it, I suddenly came to realized that TIME is really important for someone's life. Because TIME is the greatest gift you can give for someone. If you give your time to someone, you're giving them a part of your life that you will never get back. So, if you give someone your time, make sure it's worth giving.

Some people regret the things they have done with their past, which, they shouldn't, because at one point, it's their decision and their choice to make something happen. The common words said by people is "It's my destiny, I cannot do something about it." For me, this is the oldest excuse in the book. For they have the power to rule their own destiny, they have the power to make it. Something are maybe whatever you do are still gonna happen, but it's you who makes your life. Other awaits for someone to take care of them, others wait for someone to love them and to make them somehow special. But they also forget that no one completes them except them.

As for now, these are the few things I have realized upon reading that selection others will follow.

three signs of infinity... Lucky or not?

I supposed many believed that yesterday was a lucky day. From all over our country(or world??) many wedding bells were rang yesterday. Couples eagerly said "I do" to their soon-to-be spouses. Well, maybe there are millions of people believed that yesterday was the best day to get married or at least to be with their loved ones. It was they say the luckiest day of the year to do something substantial, probably a business or even to gamble.

As for me, that day went well, except for one pint-size thing I did, but that I won't mention about.
August 08, 2008 --- there are few things happened which I can say that, indeed it was a lucky day. To mention a few: 1. It was the last day of exams. No more cramming about the history of other countries and the desire to crouch whenever we saw the problems to solve and the computational things in math that it seems came from the other dimension of the world. 2. All things are finally cleared.Yes, not all. But I guess just a little conversation really resolves the confusion in our minds. It felt like a big thorn was taken off my body. I can at least, breathe easily. 3. The day was spent with my "angels". If you may ask, who the hell are that I'm talking about, there are my friends. Even if, there are problems that came in our paths yesterday, surpassing it with them felt like attaining much than anything else. and lastly I will going to mention is 4. The 7th month. Some people may not understand what it is all about. But for the people who actually know what I'm saying.... you get my point. I don't need to elaborate it. It's very self-explanatory.

I have only 4 to share. For these are the climax of yesterday's events. But these four things will change my life forever. Others are little blessings from heaven that are also pretty extraordinary.

For those who had a marvelous day yesterday then, well and good. But for others who are not fortunate to prove that it was a blessed day, don't worry, the calendar does not answer what it is in your destiny or what your journey is all about.

the twinge in my head

It never vanish...

There's so many things to do. Things we have to finish...


****************************************

Pining of Ranks.


Waaa!!!.. I can't believe neither my co-officers can practice it in just exactly 4 days!. It's our second day but we can't even complete the half of it. I don't know what will happen tomorrow. I don't even know if we have the adequate time for the practice and preparations for the program. I just pray for any miracle would happen for the program will run well.

Educational Tour:

Here's the good part... Being with my classmates and adviser going to places would be so much fun. The chance to have big money. The delicacies we can taste along the way. And ofcourse, the experiences and memories we can gather during the trip. But you what it makes me not to be excited about the upcoming tour. Well, let's just put it this way... The 6:30 am departure time... very early indeed, in regular days, I'd still be sleeping and dreaming. It's in weekend...yah, it's in saturday, the day I should be resting will be a day of our fieldtrip. Geez, I just wish it's worth the stress. And we just all hope the show would be marvelous. The trip would be fun. And it let us forget the early morning wake up call and the stress that the journey will give to us. We have a long way to go fellas!


ETC.

No, I'm not talking about the channel found in cable tvs. Absolutely not. "ETC" stands for... other things... haha! They're not general though. I'm talking about the homeworks, projects and the co-curricular keverloo... that should be done. it really stresses me so much.

Not to mention this stupid headache that never go away. Not letting me do things very well. I admit... I do not function well this time. Physically, Mentally, and anything haha!.. stuppppppiiid....okay before i say things i should not. i should be already going... au revoir!

Lo que es un maravilloso día!

The day started with waking very early because simply my sister and I don't know what time we should go to school. Which i really need to because our adviser will not be there and i am responsible for my classmates...or so do i thought...fortunately she's there!wow!. our field trip would be so much fun with her. She's the best!!!.Anyways...before we leave the school premises we prayed at the quadrangle. Ooops! did I say who will be with us during the trip. i believe i still don't. Well, the field trip was comprise with the grade 3 and the rest of the high school students.

As we went in the bus and prayed for a safe and successful trip...


My bus mates was totally crazy!!!. we've never stop laughing until we reach our first stop, which was...

THE MANILA OCEAN PARK...

How should I describe this place? It's totally and almost like heaven! I remember my partner, Khen said the moment we step and saw this marvelous place... "Wow! Sulit na bayad natin sa fieldtrip!" It was true indeed. The marine species we've never seen before was there! And the environment it was very relaxing. I will not say much of it instead I'll let the pictures speak fthem selves...





That's just the few of the pictures taken off in that place. I'm telling you, it was a unforgettable experience we got there. I'll make sure myself I'll come back there in time.
After seeing those beautiful things and creatures. We went to the souvenir shops then to the Quantum, then after some of us bought their lunch we left the ocean park with smiles on our faces.
We ate our lunch in our buses. And for quite some time, maybe around 2:00 in the afternoon, the bus driver switch the engine and we are now on the go to our next stop...


CULTURAL CENTER OF THE PHILIPPINES...

You know what makes me don't forget this place? The experience of crossing the highway just to get to the CCP. Although it was hot and merely dangerous, it was actually fun. I love it. Then after waiting patiently in line for about half an hour. We came inside the auditorium. Woooo!! It was very high! we're in the farthest part of the auditorium. I doubt that we can watch clearly in that state. In that case, we should buy the "folding telescope" to be able to see things as if we are in th front seats. When the clock strikes at 3 o'clock everybody was cheering as the lights went out and the curtain slowly opens. We saw her! LEA SALONGA. And the show is finally started.

The show was great! There were funny antics being included in the play that really left us laughing until the last part of the show. The show was divided in two parts. There were 20 minutes break to let our eyes refrain from watching. Anyways the play entitled.. CINDERELLA. Many audience also felt in love while watching the show. Then the play has reached the end, audience shouting loudly and cheering that they seem to enjoy the show. Which, though I also enjoyed the show, My eyes were tired already, I didn't felt well that time. I feel dizzy. So, I can't cheer and have fun after the show. But the show was very stunning!

On the way home. I'm really quiet because I'm not in the mood to do so. We have a nice trip going home. Even though we have no stop over because we are with the little children so we have to go home on time unlike before. We played, we laughed, we told stories. While some us rested, slept and relax, others seem to have unlimited stock of energy with them. Hahaha!


Then we reach Southville... We finally said Goodbye to our friends at the same time, wishing it would never come to an end, but unfortunately, it is. We also thanked Him, up there for giving us this such nice experience that we will treasure in our hearts. And for letting us went home safely.
