Days 13

Not to sound too morbid or anything, but I just want to think of things that I don't really get a chance to thin about, so anyway. I would like to think about death for now.

To be clear, I still dont want to die at the moment. I feel like there is still a lot of things I can do in my lifetime. I want to do more things and I want to make a greater difference. But then there is still a great sense of maturity that can only be achieved by witnessing a significant number of deaths in my lfieteime. When I was a kid, the worst fear I can think about is dying, and meeting death, even seeing dead persons. I feared walking in tombstones and I really dont like looking at dead people. I also hated horror stories (this would probably be true for me for a longer time). 

Now, I still do not want to die, for the reason that I wanted to do more in my life. But then if there comes a time, maybe even as soon as tomorrow that God tells me to go with him, I will give up all the things I hold on to the earth and follow him. There is no question about that, because I know that he would only let me die when he knows that everything I care about is taken cared of.

Anyway, when I die, I really want it to be something special. More like my birthday but something even more special, like something I have never experienced in my whole life. I dont want it to be something sudden like an accident, or something miserable like dying in sickness. But anyway, I have no control over that and just allow God to do his will on me. Still, I want all the people I loved but passed on before me to welcome me and keep me company, so that I at least would not be scared and no longer have any hesitation in moving forward.

When I was still entering my present community there was an anointing ceremony in which they will allow you to fall when the Holy Spirit overwhelms you. During that time I asked him if this would be the same feeling as dying. You know, being afraid of going to the light and allowing yourself to be filled with the Holy Spirit. It takes a lot of courage to face something that you completely are not sure of, nor familiar about, something you havent experienced in your whole lifetime. I was shaking all over after that, but then I felt really happy. Afterwards I thought, if this would be the same as death then it wouldnt really be so bad.

Months have passed after that, and now I feel at ease thinking about this. I wish that, even if I die and moved on to the afterlife I would still be an intercessor. Whenever I intercede I feel happy. Maybe if I can be able to do this in the afterlife it would be the happiest I can ever be. Because at that time there will be no longer any need to worry about earthly things and just pray for others. I know that at this point in my life I still have a lot of mistakes that I had to face. I am not really that perfect.

But then I hope that when I die, they would only remember the good things I did, and this one thing that I promise them. I promise them that, even if I die, I would still continue to pray for them, and intercede for them everyday. Because this is the one thing that I love doing, especially for my loved ones. I hope that this would make them feel at ease.

Day 3 (remake)

I decided to rewrite this in the same theme because, well yesterday I celebrated the birthday of my two cats Alice and Catherine Some people may say its weird. A lot would assume that it’s not a big deal. When I was younger, things like this may not have mattered. But then today it’s a different story.

Less than a year to go before the presidential elections and he media has started a coverage frenzy on who would be the potential candidates. When I was younger I feel so hyped out whenever this period happens and even though I am too young to vote, I was still excited. Now, more than three elections later, times have changed, I have witnessed a lot of those politicians say their piece, have their chance in the limelight, be suddenly forgotten, eat their words, join a former rival group, the works. I've somehow develped an apathy towards them. Like no matter who the politicians would be, it would not make a difference. They are all one and the same. They would cheat, change sides, do some shameless advertising, all for he sake of a win. All for the sake of money. I've seen them unravel their true sides. The ones you thought were heroes were just as controversial as the villain they were trying to fight. It was all a matter of perspective. The oned who reveal the information to ...

Days 16

You may have one of those things in your past. When you were young and you thought that you are free to do anything in the world. When you felt like every moment should be seized and every dream should be fulfilled. These days it can easily be described as YOLO. You know, you only live once. But then one day you wake up all grown up and have taken a few responsibilites here and there, with the wisdom enough to do better than use Yolo as an excuse. And then, on one fateful day you see the remnants of what you did in the past and just have a look of disbelief and suddenly ask yourself what really made you do it in the first place. You know, the after effects of those wild things you did when you were young and free. I happened to have that same experience today, and it was equally shocking as the last time I had it. Still, many people can consider me a late bloomer. I was right in that. In my student days, I studied like my life depended on it and literally had no time to dawdle around o...
