Then Sings my soul Saturdays - I Still Believe

This song is so powerful to me. Upon listening to it, I just close my eyes and meditate every word and can't help but cry. It's comforting and being blessed at the same time that God's amazing grace just pours down on us abundantly, sends us His great faithfulness and embraces us with His unfailing Love.. that's why, this song is a confession of faith and trust that even if we cannot see Him carrying us because of setback, failures and pain, we will still believe in His faithfulness, truth, and Holy word.
I still believe oh Lord.

Here are the lyrics of the song:
Scattered words and empty thoughts
Seem to pour from my heart
I've never felt so torn before
Seems I don't know where to start
But its now that I feel your grace fall like rain
From every fingertip washing away my pain

I still believe in your faithfulness
I still believe in your truth
I still believe in your holy word
Even when I don't see, I still believe

Though the questions still fog up my mind
With promises I still seem to bear
Even when answers slowly unwind
It's my heart I see you prepare
But its now, that I feel, your grace fall like rain
From every fingertip washing away my pain

I still believe in your faithfulness
I still believe in your truth
I still believe in your holy word
Even when I don't see, I still believe

Well the only place I can go is into your arms
Where I throw to you my feeble prayers well in brokenness
I can see that this was your will for me
Help me to know that you are near

I still believe in your faithfulness
I still believe in your truth
I still believe in your holy word
Even when I don't see, I still believe

I still believe (repeat 8 X's)

Ohhh, I still believe, I still believe

Missing Phantom of the Opera

When I was thinking of what I would like
to download in this site www.isohunt.com

(where one can conveniently access and get their favorite movies, videos, music, and so many more for free!), I finally got my ever-favorite and of which I missed very much, a Broadway theater and had its latest movie in 2004, the timeless beauty of music and theatrical arts: The Phantom Of The Opera! A novel by French writer Gaston Leroux. According to Wikipedia, "The musical is now the longest running Broadway show in history, and one of the most lucrative entertainment enterprises of all time." Currently listening to all of the musical pieces. I so love it!!!

Sailing and Steering Still

It's amazing how God's word simply and deeply relates to our everyday life. It's very comforting to know that we have a great and mighty God! Be blessed by more of these pictures with verses at Word-filled Wednesday! Have a great day!

Facebook feVer

Oh yeah. I just realized how facebook is already a 'household name' nowadays. Since we had our internet connection, I confess that there wasn't a single day that I did not get to open up facebook! It's like part and parcel of the internet usage! ha! Anyway, this connectivity site is indeed helpful in connecting to your friends, get the latest updates, happenings, play games, and to even just express yourself, your thoughts, and to almost everything!
I just would like to share some thoughts to ponder in reminding us towards our daily management of time, resources (electricity and the like!) and the responsibility of our freedom in handling words and expressions. We ought to be the one managing it than it managing us. We should then be stewards of it and use it for the good.

Movie Mania!

One of the major advantages and privileges of having an internet connection, especially when your an avid movie watcher, is to watch a movie online for Free! While waiting for a movie download, you can just watch your favorite movie in this site! So spare the waiting time and enjoy watching though it will ask some of your patience in the buffering process (depends upon your computer's internal features and specs!), but that's alright! It is free by the way!

Currently watching Alice in Wonderland in High quality video features! Care to join?

Sounding SundaY

Browsing through pictures from my friendster account, I managed to stumble upon this picture. And upon seeing it, I felt how I missed playing the Kumintang which is a traditional and historical type of instrument originating from the culture here in Mindanao, which various tribes use it in music, dances, customs and the like. I loved playing it especially when it is blended to play with the 'Agong' of which I had a chance to play too. I just reminisced the beauty of Ethnic element, its art, the colors, the embodied unique culture, and the lives of the people in it.
Wishing that someday I could play these musical pieces again (I already forgot some of the rhythms and beats!),
but anyhow, my heart for cultural and ethnic music still lives on.













Here are the pictures of my Rondalla days! In these pictures, I am holding a Banduria instrument. The Banduria is one of the 5 musical instruments in a Rondalla ensemble. This instrument plays a lead role in its piece beautifully blending with all the others namely the Laud, Octavina, Guitar, and the Bajo de Arco. The Rondalla group is popularly known on the cultural context, its music in dances such as Pandanggo sa Ilaw, Pasiguin, Tinikling and a whole lot! I couldn't express more how I miss playing them. Maybe one of these days, if ever I'll get a chance to hold them, I will never let them go..(^^,)
These, therefore speak how music is integral in my very life.

Sized-Up Saturday

Whew! What a Saturday! Fully-booked if I may say. But when it comes to serving the Lord, His peace and comfort always prevails. And His joy is always my strength.
Preparing for tomorrow's big day for the mother's day celebration, I am indeed grateful for the people who extended their time, effort, and energy, resources and all, God will bless you more! It is truly an inspiration and a blessing in one seeing brothers and sisters in the Lord teaming up in the ministry. Let's press on towards serving the Lord, He is utmost worthy of it!

FreedOm Friday-Resume of Brownout!

It's Friday! the last day of the weekdays but the start of brown-outs again! Well, as consumers, we can't do anything about it. The Cepalco, which is our light and electricity management office, gives us no choice but to follow. The Water has run dry already, well not that dry though, but it isn't enough to power the houses it supplies. Not enough force to power the turbines through the dams.
This, therefore, calls a major responsibility on us. Save Water, Save Electricity. If we abuse too much and be lenient in that aspect, we are also the recipients of our very own actions-we get what we sow.
So let us help Mother Nature and help ourselves as well. Re-Use, Reduce, and Recycle!

the Sacrifice

Finally! After years and years, well, not that literal though, an over exaggerated thought, but woohoo, thank God, we now have an internet connection!
But it came with a price, not literally, although the point comes too (lol!), and yes it came with a price of sacrifice of all my precious files wiped out! As in vanished into thin air, gone with the wind, asta labista! huhuhu.. Yes, sadly, my computer was reformatted in order for the internet connection to work out=(.
But then, Life must move on. I must move on. All those files, documents, pictures, and videos were of value to me, but hey! What can I do, choose the better evil ei? Ha! Anyway,
This sacrifice was with a purpose.
Sacrifice one so that you can have the better part. Can be related to Life itself right?
Sacrifices are inevitable and must be done with a firm choice. And not just that, it is coupled with having to know, understand, and face the consequences behind it. Painful it can be, but as the military saying goes: "No pain, no gain!" Life may have its sacrifices, but it certainly has some meaning to which we sometimes, do not understand with our humanly considerations.
