Arithmetic

I like this article and I would like to share this to everyone. - Nye Don't Compare Yourself With Others "Make a careful exploration of who you are and the work you have been given, and then sink yourself into that... Don't compare yourself with others." -  Galatians 6:4 MSG When I was a child in elementary school, I had a reputation for being rambunctious. My older sister, on the other hand, had a more serene nature. Once, when my classmates and I were waiting in line to get our lunch, I got bored and began rallying the other kids to play “leap frog” with me. Needless to say, my teacher was not pleased, and when she reprimanded me, she declared, “Your sister would never do that!” It was a statement that I would never forget, and that would haunt me in the years to come. All the way through to 12th grade, my sister had many of my teachers before I did, and I constantly felt dogged by comparisons that made me feel inadequate and inferior. My sister was smarter and...

I was browsing my old files and saw this picture of a screen shot I made of the online letter PJ wrote while he was still courting me. I am posting this to preserve it at the same time include this blog to my personal blog stories.  I'll be writing a long blog if I'll start writing our love story so I will only tell you the background of how this love letter was in-scripted.  PJ (my boyfriend) and I agreed to pray and fast from seeing and hearing from each other for a week.  What I told PJ was, we need to not see and hear from each other first for him to weigh his real feelings for me. Also, fasting from spending time with me could give him a room in knowing God's will without the emotional distractions he's getting from being with me. Giving him only the safest reasons, not to mention I have my own and more personal reasons as well, we decided to pursue the fast. What I did not know was that PJ wrote a week long blog of what he feels while doi...

I am not sure if I was able to mention in my previous blogs that I am studying Spanish (Espa ñol) hoping it could be my third language. I know how to speak Filipino and English already. I initially enrolled myself in an International School. However, studying in groups doesn't work quite well with me so I decided to study the language online. It's fun to study the language online. There's a very unlimited resources and options. I joined  Spanish-English communities wherein we practice the language by choosing our partners. Most sites offer the whole program course, flashcards and materials for free. :) The next few paragraphs will be written in Spanish. This blog will be my first Spanish written paragraph.   * * * * Hola mi amigos! Como te va?  Mi nombre es Nye Sebuc. Este es mi primero nota en español.  Bueno, Soy no sabe qu é  y o voy a escribir en la nota. :) Yo solo gusta practicar me español. wahahahaha. Pero, yo espero que ustedes a to...

[I know I haven't blog much lately but i will try my best to write again.]  This post is suppose to be for my birthday last April 07. However I got plenty of things to do that time. April is my birthday month so it's not late to blog yet.  :)  BEAUTIFUL TIME. I just turned Twenty-four | 24 | Veinticuatro. I can't believe I've reached this age already. When i was young, i used to think forward and wonder how fascinating life is at 24. You know like that movie, 13 going 30. I am pretty much that girl who likes to see in advance how life would turn out to be at a certain age.  I know I'm not old yet but I'm glad I've reached this age matured enough to say, "I am aging gracefully and I still feel young."  At 24, I've learned a lot- from books to living this life.  I've experienced life, the best and the worst it could offer.  I can say time is making me age with wisdom. I was able to fill my time with worthy things to do.  As I wait ...

I could consider last year the PEAK of my learning years.  It was a year that taught me on how to set things to its proper perspectives.  It was a year of cultured humility.  It was a year that made me grasp the full meaning of TRUST and PATIENCE.  It was a faithful year of wisdom that continues until the present.  I did not imagine that I am capable of growing into someone I never thought I could be.   “Life is as easy as 1, 2, and 3.” There would always be things that can’t be explained yet, things that can’t be understood yet, and things that can’t be changed yet. Then be it! Learn to appreciate timing! We are at times obliged to perform well in order for us to feel better and to be regarded as the best. So, why care if some people think you are less? What matters is that you think of yourself less to start with! Makes sense eh?
