Last Tuesday was PREx' music  practice.  And this time, I got to hold this new instrument (which I suggested on our last meeting, by the way).  I really had fun beating this Cajón because it's so easy to use.

At least now I have a new instrument of interest. Maybe I'll buy one someday.

Just finished watching the Michael Jackson Memorial on CNN.

Everything was so moving. From the speeches, the performances by Usher, Jennifer Hudson and everyone.

And especially the very brief speech of MJ's lovely daughter, Paris.

God bless, Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009).

Speaking of goodbyes, I guess I have to tell everyone in the Youth Ministry that "this is it!"  I'm finally leaving the Youth Ministry with pride to focus on the other ministries and orgs that I am already a member.

This coming Sunday, I would tell them how much I appreciated their every effort to have me learn many things I know concerning faith, leadership, and many other things.  And I would thank all of them for their friendship.

Sa tingin ko kasi nagiging unfair ako sa kanila sa ginagawa ko na parang nawawala na lang akong parang bula. Kaya naisip ko na siguro dapat ipaalam ko na.

It was fun serving God with you, PYM.

Yesterday morning, I made a visit to my old office in Ortigas. I was invited for a coffee by my former American boss who came here for a short visit. I am so glad that everyone is growing. I hope the company survives the recession.

I hope everything goes well with my pending job applications abroad. Goodbye Philippines na 'to kapag nagkataon. hehehe.

" In fact, each of us has a certain amount of emotional drive, and this emotional energy is usually directed toward another person. When the depressed person feels cut off from others, he turns his emotional investment back into himself. He lives in despair isolation. Like a snail, he withdraws into his shell and lives by himself. He can be lonely in the midst of people, and he pulls back from those who try to help him. This despair can be so severe that he feels everyone is criticizing him. He fears that others are talking about him and putting him down. This fear is even injected into his spiritual life. "

Right now, I truly am lost.  Before I know it, I have been cutting off my connection to the outside world again.  Depressed.  I am so ashamed of what I have done.
-----------------------------------------------

Lord, let me learn that You already have forgiven me. Let me know that the people I have done wrong already forgave me.  Please teach me on how to forgive myself.  Please let me accept myself that I am weak, that I need you to be my strength. Please let me understand that in the end, the last person who can help and love me is myself.  I surrender you all my worries, my shame, my self-pity. Please let the people who have I done wrong that I love them.

Seen Transformers 2 last night at G4. Grabeeeeeeeeee astig talaga! Galing ni Micheal Bay.  Hindi naman nakakaantok yung plot tulad ng ibang movies na sa trailer lang maganda.  May part 3 pa kaya to? Sana.

 Well, I've seen some reviews that this movie sucked.  Pero ok naman sa kin.
