The ODB (Our Daily Bread devotional) reminded me that day that we are at our best when we are serving others. This inspired me to do the task that has given to me on my friend's wedding.

I was filled with joy holding the microphone towards him that moment.

His joy was just so contagious.

The lad whom I first met in my elementary days;

the teenager who dreamed to be a lawyer someday;

the soul who encouraged me with a text message, "I have a good news, Christian na ako!";

the cum laude who believes in answered prayers;

the young man who loved to inspire people to persevere was turning to another chapter of his life.

I was blessed to see him happy. The groom whom I have just known we are third degree cousins on his wedding day wept with joy as he gave his vow,

 

"... sorry if I have not given you your dream wedding. I may not be able to give the best wedding but I promise to give to you the best marriage."

 

That vow captured our hearts. The best marriage is when God is the head in the relationship (1 Corinthians 11:3). Relating to this, sharing also below what I posted on my Fb on 05.08.2016:

"...the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God." 

I Corinthians 11:3

Exactly two years ago at Baguio City. I was TOO YOUNG then (*beam. . . sniff*) to witness a groom and a bride weeping with joy as they exchange their vows. 

The groom said,

"... sorry if I have not given you your dream wedding. I may not be able to give the best wedding but I promise to give to you the best marriage."

COMMITMENT SPEECH SAMPLE

It was August of last year when my niece asked me to help her making a commitment speech for their induction program. We tried at least to become relevant – August is Buwan ng Wika, so we decided to use most of it in Filipino; she loves Mathematics, so we agreed to use and relate Math as her introduction; she is not actually fluent in English (and she admits that), so she practiced her pagka-maka-bayan kuno! 😁 Below is the full text of her speech and I found it saved on my laptop. ****************************************** Our esteemed Guest speaker, our active School Principal, Faculty and Facilitative Staffs, Fellow Officers, Fellow Students, Ladies and Gentlemen, a pleasant morning to one and all. Hayaan po ninyo akong gumamit ng wikang Filipino bilang bahagi sa pagpapahayag ng aking talumpati sa umagang ito. Ngayong ika-anim na taon ko sa paaralang ito, naisip kong paano kaya kung wikang Filipino ang gamitin sa pagtuturo sa asignaturang Sipnayan a.k.a. ...

Pamana

One historian said, "PAMANA (Heritage) is something that is passed down from one generation to the next. Heritage are also family’s tradition, values, wisdom, principles, and formed experiences that are not static but revolves over time ." This poem is inspired by 1 Thessalonians 1:3. Luma, sira, kinakalawang: Ano bang saysay nito sa kasalukuyan? Piping saksi po ito ng nakaraan, Tanglaw ng pamana sa kinabukasan.   Kung makakapagsalita lamang ang bagay na ito, Tiyak kong marami din itong maikukuwento, Kuwentong dapat mong marinig - Pananampalataya, pag-asa, at pag-ibig.   Hindi lamang ito pangkaraniwang padyak. Sa Diyos ipinalangin at kaniyang iniyak, Kaligtasan ng kapwa inibig niyang matiyak Pati anghel sa langit, labis ang galak!   Ito ang lumang bisikleta ni Ptr.Jhune Cadeliña, Katuwang niya nang HBBC ay nagsimula. Kayamanang maituturing noon pang dekada otsenta, Piping saksi sa maraming kuwentong biyaya.   Walang patid kong ...

Just a Short Message for Incoming Engineering Students

  (I shared this text to someone and I am inspired to put on here, in hopes that it can encourage also somebody.) Study for life, not for grades. When the time comes that you do not hit your aim to have excellent grades, remember that passing or conditional or even failing grades is a norm in Engineering school. Be strong and have a good courage. Extreme pressures come along. And when failure comes, take in mind and in heart that failure is a not a person. Failure is just an event. Most often, a series of events. Enjoy to endure and endure to enjoy. Engineering is enduring and enjoying. (The half has not yet been told in all engineering Fb pages or vlog contents. Discover the wonders for yourself.) Look for seniors or upper class  men whom you can look up to and listen to them. When you do, you will also have a story to tell to younger than you someday. If you cannot find good kuyas and ates , be the trailblazer. Expect the worst but hope for the best! When we say h...
