When I Became A Man
an encouragement to the women who are looking for real men.. =)
When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. – 1 Corinthians 13:11
WHEN I BECAME A MAN
The apostle Paul was clearly able to distinguish a difference between childhood and manhood in his own life. It’s not all that difficult to notice, because spiritual manhood is lacking in our world today. Men stand out. Men are different. Men are few and far between.
I’m not talking about pseudo-manhood that our society portrays in Hollywood that suggests that in order to be a man you have to blow things up, lift heavy weights, and sleep with multiple women.
I’m talking about being a real man. A mature disciple of Christ who can lead and love a woman.
When I was a child (not so long ago), I spoke like…

HER: You married her?
HIM: No, she said she wanted promise rings.
HER: You love her.
HIM: I thought i did. But now that i am sick,
why do i want someone else to take care of me?
HER: Finish your soup. I should go.
HIM: I am not sure if i am happy.
HER: That is not my problem.
HIM: I wanted the challenge.
HER: But you traded it for something easier..
HIM: I thought i was not good enough..
HER: You never asked..
HIM: Would you have said YES?
HER: i guess you will never know. *walks away
The Boy, The Girl, The Another
he found the ring
but lost the girl..
he bought a ring
and married another.
Another wears a ring
The girl does not.
Another is loved.
The girl is not.
The girl is alone
but the girl is not lost
The girl does not have a ring
but the girl is not lonely..
The girl moves on.
and loves again..
Dear Diary,
i am waiting..
WAS.
i had my eyes on you
from the start..
i secretly got hurt
when you pursued her..
i quietly asked God
to give you to me..
i stayed back
because it was impossible
i hid
because i was afraid..

I watched the Tamang Panahon Video (#TeamReplay).. i paused the part where the first hug happened.
i was wondering how that must have felt like.. when you are embraced by someone who you know deeply cares about you..
and i had one adjective to describe how that feels like. “HOME”.
And if i were in the moment, i would want time to stop so i could just stay there.. or time to slow down.. so i could stay there a little longer..
I really thought no one will find this video (planning on recording a better audio version), but my friend found it and posted the link on my Facebook timeline.. (i guess that’s what friends are for?)
This is not a great material — just a girl’s expression of how she felt at the moment..
And though this song won’t reach Nicomaine Mendoza anytime soon, i hope that one day she will hear it
And i hope she will like it. =)
And YES, there is a typo. =) #hinwakaan

Now you see me. Then you don’t.
She is tough but she cries..
She is strong but she falls..
She is brave but she is wounded..
She is beautiful but she is scarred..
She is broken and you just don’t know..
Because she refuses to show you herself..
or you are just too blind to see..
Hooked.
A new perspective
on a character you grew up hating..
Not your typical Prince Charming
or Knight in Shining Armor..
and he is supposed to be the love
who refuses to give up..
but carries a name of A Once Upon A Time
without an Ever After..
This is not Storybrooke..
This is not Camelot..
I live in the here and now..
Where there is No Magic..
— only Miracles.
Going Against the Flow
This was originally posted in November 2007 (on a different site).
Eight years ago, everyone laughed when they found out i am “inexperienced” and this is what I had to say.. =) I would like to just emphasize though, that the intention of this post was never to judge the “experienced” but encourage those who are judged because of their choice to pursue purity.
———————————
“It is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; that each of you should learn to control his own body in a way that is holy and honorable, not in passionate lust like the heathen, who do not know God.” (1 Thessalonians 4:3-5).
In the past (decades ago), a woman was despised and condemned when she gets pregnant without a husband. it was because during those times, virginity was something that society valued. Marriage was something that they required before two people share physical intimacy. A woman’s purity was a precious treasure that she and her family takes good care of. A woman who is not married but gets pregnant was a disgrace to the family and some of them left their homes, started a new life in a new place where no one knew them to save themselves from shame.
Today, i am quite surprised of how people react when they learn that a woman is a virgin. They laugh at those who never had sexual experiences, and i wonder what is so funny about that. Suddenly the world and society changed.. Now, virginity is laughed at and premarital sex has become acceptable. Society accuses the virgins of conservatism, impracticality, idealism and closed-mindedness.
Purity is a word that needs to be refreshed and highlighted in a woman’s vocabulary.
Sex and marriage go together. Sexual union is intended as an expression of a lifelong commitment, a symbol of the spiritual union that exists only within the unconditional commitment of marriage. Apart from marriage, the lasting commitment is absent and the sex act becomes a false expression, a lie.
Every act of sex outside of marriage cheapens both sex and marriage. Sex is a privilege inseparable from the responsibilities of the sacred marriage covenant. To exercise the privilege apart from the responsibility perverts God’s intention for sex.
Sex is designed to be the joining of two persons, of two spirits, not just two bodies. Some say that marriage is just a piece of paper.. just for formalities sake and that it is not really important.. that what matters is that two people understand each other and love each other. For that, i beg to disagree. A man’s ultimate public display of affection is when he asks you to be his wife, presents you as his bride to his family, to the government (you become the legal spouse and beneficiary of everything that is his), to the world and to the Lord as both of you promise to love and respect each other making Him the center and the foundation of your marriage. A guy who asks for physical intimacy outside marriage is disrespecting us and is not protecting us. A guy would need to protect us from themselves as well.. He who truly loves will know where he stands and keep his distance — not go beyond it. He who truly loves will know the woman’s worth, he will give her strength — not take advantage of her weaknesses.
Even if two people truly love each other, still there is no bearing on the ethics of sexual intimacy—sex does not become permissible through subjective feelings, but through the objective lifelong commitment of marriage. We honor God with our everything including our bodies.
to women who are inexperienced: do not feel bad when people laugh at you.. do not take their challenges as well.. they can dare you to be like them, when they do that, dare them to be like you. do not be scared to be different — you are beautifully different..
“You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body” (I Corinthians 6:20).
It is a dead fish that goes with the flow, only a living fish can go against it. life is beautiful, you are beautiful, live the life! =)
