Dear Kuyang Taiwanese

Dear Kuyang Taiwanese,

Alam ko sa mga oras na ito ay gigil na gigil kayo sa aming mga Pilipino. Kasi siguro, napanood niyo sa balita sa inyo na binaril ng aming coast guard ang inyong mga barkong pangingisda at napatay pa ang isang kawawang 65 taong gulang na mangingisda…

 Human life is as short-lived as grass. It blossoms like a flower in the field.

— Psalm 103:15 (GOD’S WORD Translation)
 
 He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;
    I will be exalted among the nations,
    I will be exalted in the earth.”
— Psalm 46:10 (NIV)
 

Society would eventually become nothing more than a seamless web of rationalized structures; there would be no escape  — Max Weber

*siggghhhhs. can’t put my thoughts properly about this. but one thing i am sure is that it upsets me. thinking we are wise just because we have science, thinking about how we know it all because almost everything discoverable in this earth has been discovered. like as if we have this down pat. what we do not know is we are falling into the rationalizing pit of no return. WAKE UP everyone, and look at the things, really look at the things around you and preferrably, above you.

Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants(bondservants) of God.

People mind waay too much about my love story (…or about it’s absence thereof)
Is it so wrong to find outmost joy in spending my days alone, not thinking about love or companionship or other people?  
Till today it’s still a mystery to me as to why people make a big fuss about (my) love and life companionship. As if me enjoying every moment with myself is inconceivable. *shakes head*
Sure, I am starting to accept the fact of having a lover as… okay, with the help of our discipler at the church. I am not as averse to it as I once was. Was starting to be open-minded about it and all. But being like this does not mean I am heartless or lacking of emotion. It’s not like that. I DO have one after all. Even if it beats erratically at times(got a normal heart, just weaker than others, i guess). It’s just that a lover’s relationship is not such a big deal to me. So why should it be a big deal to them when I even do not care about it? Is it so wrong to be happy while alone?

It is not bad to change yourself. In fact, it is a really good thing, especially if you are changing for the better. However, if you have the wrong motivation, you are walking on the path of destruction… including the destruction of yourself. Change is men’s unique attribute, in contrast to our unchanging God. Let us make use of it to the fullest.

don’t waste time of your life trying to please someone else by changing yourself

We enter a little coffeehouse with a friend of mine and give our order. While we’re aproaching our table two people come in and they go to the counter: ‘Five coffees, please. Two of them for us and three suspended’ They pay for their order, take the two and leave.  I ask my friend: “What are those ‘suspended’ coffees?” My friend: “Wait for it and you will see.” Some more people enter. Two girls ask for one coffee each, pay and go. The next order was for seven coffees and it was made by three lawyers - three for them and four ‘suspended’. While I still wonder what’s the deal with those ‘suspended’ coffees I enjoy the sunny weather and the beautiful view towards the square infront of the café. Suddenly a man dressed in shabby clothes who looks like a beggar comes in throught the door and kindly asks ‘Do you have a suspended coffee ?’ It’s simple - people pay in advance for a coffee meant for someone who can not afford a warm bevarage. The tradition with the suspended coffees started in Naples, but it has spread all over the world and in some places you can order not only a suspended coffee, but also a sandwitch or a whole meal. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have such cafés or even grocery stores in every town where the less fortunate will find hope and support ? If you own a business why don’t you offer it to your clients… I am sure many of them will like it.

Oh my. This is so good.

 I really hope I can do this the next time I buy a coffee. 

Great idea. I hope it could happen in the Philippines
