It is really a tragic experience for all of us here in America even though we are far from the part of New York and its surrounding areas where "Sandy" blew its inflictions. I know that in times like this, it is so hard to think that the damage that "Sandy" brought has turned many lives at stake. It seems that it is so hard to stand again and rebuild the lost possessions that the people are building.
I have seen on television how extremely the storm blows everything. It caused a lot of distraction and I was on one corner praying and always hoping that everyone will be okay. I can't imagine how it really caused lots of distractions. I have seen people struggling to find better shelter and left their beautiful houses and then in all of a sudden it was all shattered and devastated. It pains me a lot to have felt them being like that.
There is no surest way to stop everything when natural disasters come to a country for no human beings can impede to cease its infliction. But the after-cause that left the people behind. It is so tragically demoralizing. Everything is really a big mess!
But nevertheless, I know that God always blesses America. I know that for sure that in every struggle, I know the Lord will always provide. Help will come and regaining to rebuild their houses and put back their shattered lives and turn everything fine, I know that it will seek its way out.
God will always bless America!

Filipinos do really love to eat "letchon". That is why, in every occasion whether it be a simple celebration and the grandest ones, "letchon" is always present on the table.
Just yesterday, we had a celebration with my Filipino friends here in the US and it calls for us to celebrate the event with the all-time favorite that we have, the "letchon baboy" on the table. With this food, we are united to happily enjoy the meal eventhough there are few viand. And of course, rice should not be missing. There should always be rice because for us, "letchon baboy" with rice give us a full stomach.
That is why, if you want to spend celebrations with your Filipino friends, don't forget the "letchon baboy" on the table and of course, rice, rice and more rice!

Who are we?
Why were we here? Why do we exist? Why were we created? What are God’s plans
why he created man?
These are
some of the questions which search me to look for answers based on God’s purpose
of creating man on Earth. I can view my explanation based on the following:
1. Man as a steward
over God’s creation.
In Genesis
1:26, it was clearly stated that God made man in His image and likeness to let
him rule over his creations on earth. One of the purpose of man is to be a good
steward of all things that are created by God, those things both living and
non-living. The kind of task that God sets on man are regarded him as superior
in rank because to “take over” means that man has the capacity to rule. He is a
leader. He has a distinct characteristic which is not present in animals, the
kind of power that dominates to lead. In this sense, God puts responsibility in
him. Man’s works are always paired with responsibility and accountability, a unique
trust that is always imprinted in man’s spirit as human beings which God put
man the center of his creation in order to be the steward of all things that he
has created.
2. God created man in
His image and likeness, He created him: male and female. (Gen. 1: 26-27)
God made man
to be like Him. In fact, man is the most important creature among all the
creatures that God made for only the man was created in the image of God. The
other living creatures like the dog, cat, rabbit, microbes, etc. are not the replica
of God’s image. Humans are specially crafted the way God wanted it to be. God
and man are of the same image that is God should look like us. Because man is
created “in His image”, it clearly means that God created the soul of man in
His image. Here, the physical form of man is not what has given more emphasis
of His image but rather the soul of man which reflects God’s image. In this
manner, man was made by God and not by himself.
3. God’s purpose of
the creation of man is to serve the Lord with gladness.
It was
stated in 1 Cor. 15:32, “Serve the Lord with gladness; Come before His presence
with singing. Know that the Lord, He is God. It is He who has made us, and not
we ourselves. We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.”
Man is not
created not for the sake to eat, drink and be merry. He serves the Lord in
worship, to acknowledge Him that the Lord is God. In the clear view, man was
created by God to adore and worship Him, for man to know that it was God who
made him in like manner it fulfills the very purpose of man’s existence – to
know and adore God. Thus, as God became man, He sets an example for us to
follow. Knowing God, knowing who we are and understanding our relationship with
God will make us realize our obligation to serve Him. This is our
responsibility.
4. Man inherits the
kingdom.
In the
teaching of Luke 12: 32, it says, “Fear not, little flock, for it is your
Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.”
Man has
given by God all the chances to be rich by becoming God’s joint-heir in all His
creations. God made the earth not completely furnished but God lets the people
creatively work in order to fill, improve and to make beautiful man’s creations
out from His land. On the other hand, God is choosing groups of people, making
them righteous and holy so that they can live with Him forever. All of them
will inherit the kingdom of God.
5. Man has a body. God
created the body from the dust to the earth and it will return to the dust.
Gen. 2: 7
says, “And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground.” When man’s life
ends and of course, that is the end of the body and we are dead. But because
man has a body, man’s soul continues to live and will never die. But when man
dies, he will return to the dust.
5. God made the world so that there could be a space where He
might communicate His love, and from which the response of love might come back
to him.
In order for
God to communicate His love, He made some beings capable of loving in return
had to exist. They were invited to respond other wise if there could not
respond, there could be no true and free love. Thus, the persons are made by
God with intelligence, will and a space which to decide what he will be.
6. God created man to
take dominion over His creations.
I can connote
this of the existence of Adam and Eve. Adam was to rule, Eve had to rule with
Him. Both had to rule together. Dominating the earth needs Adam and Eve. Eve,
because she was a part of Adam’s very being, completed Adam which in the like
manner, both should take dominion over God’s creation.
7. God gave man a mind
(spirit), heart (emotions) and will (freedom of choice).
God gave man
a mind capable of knowing God and thinking as God thinks. God gave man such a
powerful mind because He planned for man is to have close fellowship with Him.
God has given to man a spirit that has the possibility of enjoying a meaningful
relationship with the Living God.
God placed a
heart in the soul of man when He created him in His image. God gave man a heart
so that he could love God. God gave the first man the capacity to feel the
emotions that God Himself feels.
God gave the
man free choices to choose between right and wrong. The very purpose why He
lets this so because of His great love to man that He understands to respect
man’s decision, to love with it or learn from them.
8. God made man to
subdue the earth and multiply.
God made man
in order to fill the earth filled with humans. Through marriage, reproduction
and love, the creation of human beings spread around the world. The existence
of millions of people here on earth is manifestation of God’s purpose of
creating man numerously. This freely indicates that God’s love is overflowing.
9. God made man to
keep His promise of love and forgiveness.
God died in
the cross not for something else, not for a sort of nothingness but for a great
sacrifice of saving man’s sinfulness and free them from punishments. God made
this in order to fulfill His promise of great love for man to realize that He
is God. The way He lets Himself be crucified is His way of love in order to
make known His big forgiveness.
10. God made Himself
man.
God made man in His image and
likeness and in order to manifest Himself as one of us, He was born into the
world with Joseph, His father and Mary, His mother through the Holy Spirit. In
this manner, the very purpose why God lets man to live is in order to manifest
and make His existence in the purpose of dwelling into this world. He, made
Himself presence in the world full of man in order to mean the purpose of man’s
being.

I thought at first that it is just a sort of a mosquito bite, but I was wrong. It turned out to be a very dangerous site for the spread of a kind of skin infection.
Seeing David suffering from boil pains me a lot as a mother. It is growing. It produces a lot of pus and I was always worried about his condition because he is sick. I went to the doctor just this morning and the physician told me that he got it from a kind of bacteria which can be found anywhere in a dirty place.
Our house is not dirty. I can assure of that. But maybe the environment cause transmission of the disease because he is schooling and I don't know if the place in school is safe for him. What I do know is that the school provides them with the materials, all complete. I just can't expect that he is having boil.
It all started with a scratch of the part which marks the bite of the mosquito. And I was totally in shocked because the small part grows bigger and has liquid part on it. There is something like an "eye" that is the port of entry of the bacteria and they said that when it ruptures, all those pus will go away from the said "eye" part.
I am totally worried because David has a high fever. Even though he eats a lot but the main thing that concerns me is that when that pus will burst out from his skin.
I pity a lot my son. I hope that the Lord will heal him.

Philosophy of Human Person: "All men die but not all do really live."
0 comments Posted by Ccel at 6:41 AM
My professor posed this question on his quiz last week and here is my explanation regarding the quote:
It was stated in the Bible that people die and not all can take after-life in Heaven during the Judgement Day of God. There are those who will be thrown in Hell and suffer the never-ending fire of death and there are those who will be happily in the Paradise that God has set for them in Heaven and there are those people who live an everlasting life. The way people shape his wealth for Heaven depends on the good acts he makes for others. Everyone calls to live but there are those who chooses to die.

How does the concept of Pope Benedict XVI grounded on man's substantial union? (About Eros and Agape)
0 comments Posted by Ccel at 5:20 AM
"How does the concept of Pope Benedict XVI about Eros and Agape grounded on man's substantial union?"
This question was part of our quiz in whom our professor in Philosophy of Human Person (subject) convey to us. Here is my answer:
If Eros, its physicality and Agape, its spirituality are not represented in man, thus they can't never be specified. Man is both body and soul. Man's body is represented by Eros and man's soul is represented by Agape (spirituality). Thus, man is both composed of these two dimensions, Eros and Agape which can never be separated. The union of these two dimensions defines the true nature of man. Eros can't live without Agape and Agape can't live without Eros. They are co-dependent with each other. That is why, marriage is saturated because of the marriage of both body and soul in man.
