baguio city is not only known as the summer capital of the country, but also the ukay ukay capital!

ukay ukay shops are filled with tourists, yes, tourists, mostly during the holidays *christmas and new year* and during panagbenga.

panagbenga, also known as flower festival, is an annual event in baguio city, held during february. and during panagbenga, people from different parts of the country visit the city and this is seen as a time when ukay ukay tinderas come home with all their paninda naubos na.

i listen to matisyahu.


wikipedia article about him:

Matthew Paul Miller (born June 30, 1979), better known by his Hebrew name Matisyahu (Hebrew:מתתיהו) is an American Hasidic Jewish reggae musician.

Known for blending traditional Jewish themes with Reggae, rock and hip hop beat-boxing sounds, Matisyahu's single "King Without a Crown" was a Top 40 hit.[1] Since 2004, he has released three studio albums as well as two live albums, two remix CDs and one DVD featuring a live concert. Through his career, Matisyahu has worked with Bill Laswell and reggae producers Sly & Robbie.

music for christian beginners..



other Christians find the music below, questionable..

contemporary Christian rock, for me, wants to draw both Christian and non-Christian listeners to their music..

so, when someone told me, FlyLeaf, Underoath, Paramore are Christian bands, i was skeptical.

kasi naman, when we say Christian music, their lyrics should be talking about Jesus.

in some lyrics, i never heard them say 'i love you Jesus' or just even mention Jesus' name in the song, because, they also wanted non-Christians to listen to them.

it was also a question mark in me when they said P.O.D. is a Christian band.

its kinda confusing.


anyway/s, check out this link:

it has bryan welch (ex-Korn member) and sonny sandoval (the POD guy) in it.













Gusto ko..




gusto kong..



gusto kong gumanda, parang si do hwe ji.

or si kim seul me



gusto kong tumalino.

*yung IQ lang nila a!

hindi pati ung paniniwala nila!

[MOST INTELLIGENT PEOPLE ARE LESS LIKELY TO BELIEVE IN GOD, sabi kasi nila. to confirm this, google the word 'atheist']

gusto kong tumalino like rizal

at socrates.


gusto kong yumaman, tulad nina


manny pacquiao

at henry sy.


but, what i want the most is to be more like,

jesus.


becoming more LIKE Him is the greatest challenge of being a Christian.

it means, we become less like ourselves *madamot, masungit, walang pasensiya, magalitin* and be more like Him. *loving, gentle, slow to anger, quick to forgive*

as human beings, we make mistakes.

minsan, may mga nasasabi tayong hindi maganda, may mga nagagawa tayong mali, pero, He always reminds us, to think twice, before we tell a lie, before we punch a brother's face, before we join a drinking spree.

to be more like Jesus, we need to fill ourselves with His Word.

nakatanggap ako ng text message kaninang umaga, sabi,
"like a new born baby, we should drink milk, which is His Word, for us to grow."
