My notebook is showing signs that I need to format it soon. Last night I left the notebook to defragment by itself, and when I wake up I find it just 20% defragmented. I wanted to go to CD-R King in Glorietta from school this afternoon, but it closes early around 5:30PM that I couldn't make it. I'm itching to have it formatted. Even the iPod had not been playing this morning and last night because of a corrupt file according to windows. But I managed to fix it. Thank God.

Today I had to wake up at 7:30AM to the repeated wakings of my mom. Hard to get up because someone kept me awake till 2AM :) Came at school at 10AM to work on my last paper for this semester in the library. Traffic is still bad, what's with these days? Chapelled at 11. Didn't realize yesterday was Teachers Day, so we honored the admin, staff and professors with prayer today. I was only able to greet Dr. Ayuk a "Happy Teachers Day." Had lunch with Emmanuel, Van and Ate Marilyn. Returned to library to really finish the paper, as I waited for Jo. They won the NT Drama Contest so they got the cash prized which they spent in Yellow Cab. So I had to wait a little more. But it's all good, 'cause I was able to finish the main content of my paper. We had to kill some time because she had to leave past the coding hours.
The Mind of the Melancholeric Man: Musings on Life and Ministry by Patrick Tan
Corcovado
by Antionio Carlos Jobim (King of Bossanova)
Um cantinho
Um violão
Este amor
Uma canção
Pra fazer feliz
A quem se ama.
Muita calma pra pensar
E ter tempo pra sonhar
Da janela vê-se o Corcovado
O redentor
Que lindo!
Quero a vida sempre assim
Com você perto de mim
Até o apagar
A velha chama.
E eu que era triste
Descrente deste mundo
Ao encontrar você
Eu conheci
o que é felicidade
Meu amor
Quiet nights of quiet stars
Quiet chords from my guitar
Floating on the silence that surrounds us
Quiet thoughts and quiet dreams
Quiet walks by quiet streams
And a window that looks out on Corcovado
Oh how lovely!
This is where I want to be
Here with you so close to me
Until the final flicker of life's ember
I, who was lost and lonely
Believing life was only
A bitter tragic joke have found with you the meaning of existence
Oh my love

Today, traffic was so bad it was an hour and a half drive to Makati, plus it rained. I met a client San Lorenzo Village. And in their office I met a designer acquaintance who I referred in their company, he's doing great. He's also teaching Multemedia Arts in Benilde. He told me they are looking for more teachers and offered to refer me. I obliged. This may be the break I need from my current company. I really want to quit. Hope it works out. Could this be one of his tricks for me to settle on the good but not the best? My heart is longing to go to full time service but circumstances do not permit.
Today I learned from the office newspaper that the Philippines won the title for Miss International 2005 in Tokyo. Nice.
One hour after I would be teaching drums at church. Traffic was still bad. Arrived in Binondo 30 minutes late. Taught drums. Had dinner with one of my students, Daryl.
Fetched mom in supermarket. So we went home together. Dad is still in the funeral of his childhood friend.
Amazing race back on TV.

Today I preached at church. First sermon was quite pressured, just like first sermons every Sunday because it's the 'premiere' of your sermon, you get nervous. Second was smooth sailing. Praise God. I brought the tie but I failed to wear it, because I felt conscious about wearing it.. so pastor-like. It might also distract me from the message. In the afternoon we had Worship Class. I was pretty exhausted.
After the class, my family went to SM San Lazaro, parents went shopping at the supermarket. They go there every Sunday afternoon. And because of that, I was not able to control "panic buying". Lawrence, Brznf and I ate pizza at Chef D'Angelo and I bought to CDs from Praise. I thought of buying clothes before that, but I thought it was not really necessary.
Tomorrow, it's back to work. My boss is already looking for me. I'm dead.

Woke up 7AM today. Despite sleeping quite late chatting with new "found" friend. I had to finish my sermon and I did. I thought it was quite long that it might not fit in a 45 minute schedule. Anyway, I still have to finalize it. I missed the ball game of Lorenzo Ruiz Academy, I thought it was on one of the court locations, but they changed courts pala. And it was raining, traffic was bad, I hurried to church for cellgroup. Took my discipleship group to Philippine Christian Bookstore. Ate at McDonalds. Then went home. I learned that my youth's team lost. Bummer.
I am sad that things at youth ministry aren't going so good as before. But I guess it's just a season. Lord, help me. But life is good, sooo good :D Can't wait for the next week. I'm preaching tomorrow. I wonder if I would wear the tie the See sisters gave me on my birthday... hmm.

He Reigns!
He Reigns
Newsboys
+ It's the song of the redeemed rising from the African plain | It's the song of the forgiven drowning out the Amazon rain | The song of Asian believers filled with God's holy fire | It's every tribe, every tounge, every nation | A love song born of a grateful choir
+ All God's children singin' "Glory, glory, hallelujah! He reigns, He reigns!"
+ Let it rise above the four winds caught up in the heavenly sound | Let praises echo from the towers of cathedrals to the faithful gathered underground | Of all the songs sung from the dawn of creation, some were meant to persist | Of all the bells rung from a thousand steeples, none rings truer than this
+ All God's children singin' "Glory, glory, hallelujah! He reigns, He reigns!"
+ And all the powers of darkness tremble at what they've just heard | 'Cause all the powers of darkness can't drown out a single word
+ All God's children singin' "Glory, glory, hallelujah! He reigns, He reigns!"

+ I know You had me on your mind | When You climbed up on that hill | For You saw me with eternal eyes | While I was yet in sin | Redeemer Savior Friend
+ Every stripe upon Your battered back | Every thorn that pierced Your brow | Every nail drove deep through guiltless hands | Said that Your love knows no end | Redeemer Savior Friend
+ Redeemer, redeem my heart again | Savior, shelter me from sin | You’re familiar with my weaknesses | Devoted to the end | Redeemer Savior Friend
+ So the grace you poured out on my life | Will return to You in praise | I’ll gladly lay down all my crowns | For the name of which I’m saved | Redeemer Savior Friend

Father, Let Me Dedicate
Father, Let Me Dedicate
Lawrence Tuttiett, 1825-1897

+ Father, let me dedicate all this life to Thee | In whatever worldly state Thou wilt have me be | Not from sorrow, pain or care, freedom dare I claim | This alone shall be my prayer: "Glorify Thy name"
+ Can a child presume to choose where or how to live? | Can a father's love refuse all the best to give? | Let my glad heart while it sings Thee in all proclaim | And whate'er the future brings, glorify Thy name
+ Be glorified in me, be glorified!

"... But whatever things were gain to me, those things I have counted as loss for the sake of Christ. More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish so that I may gain Christ, and may be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith, that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death; in order that I may attain to the resurrection from the dead."
