alipin ako

LSS mode. lol! i think the song is great. i did a quick search in the internet and was surprised (yet happy) that liezel sang this song.

this picture is from here.

Alipin ako na umiibig sa'yo

Bakit di magawa na magtampo?

Paano ba ito?

Di ko kayang gawin

Ikaw ay aking limutin

Kahit sinasaktan

O bakit ba sadyang ikaw pa rin.

Alam ng puso ko

Ikaw sakin nagbabago

Ngunit ang damdamin

Kung bakit ba hindi niya maamin.

Alipin ako na umiibig sayo

Bakit laging ikaw pa rin sa puso ko

Alipin ako ng yakap mo't mga halik

Bakit di magawa na magtampo?

Paano ba ito?

Alam ng puso ko

Ikaw sakin nagbabago

Ngunit ang damdamin

Kung bakit ba hindi niya maamin.

Alipin ako na umiibig sayo

Bakit laging ikaw pa rin sa puso ko

Alipin ako ng yakap mo't mga halik

Bakit di magawa na magtampo?

Paano ba ito?

Tunay na kay hirap na puso ay turuan

At tila ba wala itong pakialam

Kahit ano ay gagawin lalo na't nararamdaman

Marahil ay ganyan kapag nagmamahal 

Alipin ako na umiibig sayo

Bakit laging ikaw pa rin sa puso ko

Alipin ako ng yakap mo't mga halik

Bakit di magawa na magtampo?

Paano ba ito?

Paano ba ito?

Paano ba ito?

practical atheism

it was cardinal tagle who coined the word - practical atheism. for him, this is one of the major hurdles in this year's cry for evangelization - this year is apparently called the year of faith. 

this is from here.

“There is atheism which they openly said that they don’t believe in God and there are also those who claim that they are faithful but live as if God doesn’t exist,” Tagle said. from here.

it is true. and this came up to my mind when i heard about the passing of RH Bill in both congress - pnoy even marked this urgent. a lot of personalities expressed their happiness over the event and i am quite saddened because i see them as people with high morality. well, i guess they have their own opinion which i (as a believer) should understand. they openly profess their faith but they decide as if God does not exist.

oh well, it's time heal the wounds of the broken hearted. at least we did our best to pray and made our presence felt to express our side. probably, god is steering the wheel. he probably uses this opportunity to test our faith - until when are you going to be faithful even the door to perdition is out there in the open. God is love. i can feel his love.

pia cayetano and her experiences: a question of generalization

i am deeply saddened by pia cayetano's actions. i see her as modern filipina fighter but i think she's generalizing too much. she's putting her story to the stories of all the women. here's my take (please read my warning below)*:

picture is from here

a. i think she supported the RH Bill because she wanted to make all filipinas healthy like her and has access to all sorts of ways to control her family. physically fit by running in marathon, which is good. controlling the future of her family by voicing out her opinion - which is good. for most of the people, that is the perfect situation. both husband and wife has control over the family matters. they voices out their opinion on how to bring up their children in response to this world's earthly call.

however, some missing link here. the church is telling us to believe in God and put our faith in Him - not in our hands but in Him.  being fit is not against God's teaching because we should learn how to take good care of ourselves. if God chose her to have 6 children, she should follow. it's the will of God. so if God chose her to be a mother, she should be one. i hear hear some people saying, "kailangan di muna ako mabuntis kasi tatakbo pa ako". so, which is more important, rearing a child of running? i am not saying that pia has the same thoughts but it is a fact that if you wanted to do some physical trainings, you need to give up on something.

b. after RH Bill, she'll push with divorce bill. wow! you know what's my next statement. she's separated with her husband. and being separated means she should pass a bill for separated women. di ba? i won't be surprise if another senator will propose other controversial laws because they are in that situation.

wait, is this really the voice of the filipinos? or the voice of the few? grabe.

i will have to stop here because i might be stressing myself with something that will not be materialized. lol!

i still have high regards with pia cayetano and still hoping and praying that she will have discernment.

*WARNING: statements below are my opinion, not yours. if you can't withstand it, please don't read.
