on life..
my life's pretty good.. i have great parents, superb siblings, nice relatives, and amazing friends. they help me deal with life's everyday problems. but the problem is, i lost one of my great parents. i lost my dad a year and six months ago because of a sudden heart attack.
i super miss him.
i want to see him again so i could feel that familiar hug again. i miss the hugs i used to get from him. his death was a shock to a lot of people. nobody really expected him to die that early..but i guess God has a special plan for him. i know God was sad seeing us apart, but i believe God is up to something great for us.
after my dad's death, i learned to value time. nobody really is certain when we will die. this might be my first and last blog entry because i might die after writing this. so you see, we can really just die anytime. nobody can stop us from going to the other life.
a lot of people died young. just last week, i heard from a classmate that a group of college freshmen (our batchmates) with some parents had an accident while they were on their way home from Baguio. one of them was brain-damaged then died the following day. i was a bit shocked of what i heard. those people are of my age! then i felt sad for the guy's family..i felt what they felt..losing a family member.
my dad's sudden death, the death of a young guy..anything could happen to us! we don't know what will happen to us next. it's part of life's mystery. sometimes we ask ourselves, "are we ready to face God?" it's a bit scary knowing that after our life here on earth, we would have to face our final judgment. what if we won't pass? but then, we should always remember that God is willing to forgive us if we ourselves are willing to be forgiven. God is just there waiting for us to repent. He died for us. He loves us. He is the greatest Lover of the world.
on love..
we (the youth) all grew up in a world of entertainment. movies are telling us their own versions of love. one would be that of a man and a woman meeting in a very romantic place like Paris. spending the night together then leaving each other the following day. people call this "fling" but some people believe that there was indeed love. i get sad when i meet people like them. they are degrading the value of "love". love is far greater than that. love knows no limit. love isn't a one-day event, but it is an everlasting one. i feel happy when i see old couples walking side-by-side holding hands. i believe that is love.
search not love, for love will come to you on the right time. you don't have to travel to look for the kind of love i'm telling you. wait for it to come.
this is my first ever blog entry so i'm sorry if it's not
that good. i promise to do better on my next entries! :)
