“Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: ‘It is mine to avenge; I will repay,’ says the Lord.” -Romans 12:19

This bible verse has been with me since the time when I was still a kid, when my parents’ scolding words of love were the only heartbreaking thing that I could ever hear, when waking up randomly at midnight was only for potty purposes, when being hurt just meant being bruised. But as the sun sets and as the sun rises, things become different, things become worse. The people of yesterday aren’t going to be the people of today; neither will they be the people of tomorrow. The people who used to think that your crayons were just few will be the people who will give false accusations about you. The people who used to say that you can’t play the game will be the people who will say that you can’t live the life. The people who used to give you bruises in the knees will be the people who will be giving you bruises in the heart.

Scary, isn’t it, how people will come and go, leaving a mark of pain and sorrow. Disappointing it is to admit that the people whom you trust will be the people whom you trusted. I’m not saying that evil is what the future holds but I’m just pointing out that things will not always be pleasing. There will always be a time wherein you will feel left out, abused, taken advantage, disrespected, annoyed, maltreated or even unworthy. But you know what you should do? Nothing. Nothing, in a way wherein you wouldn’t take revenge or curse the hell out of your trespassers. You should let it pass, like as if it was just a dirty wind. As long as you know that you’re not doing anything against what is written in the testaments, you have nothing to be afraid of. They may be armed with power, money and other alliances, but they still can’t beat you, for you have and you are with the Lord. God is the greatest armor, the greatest avenger. Nobody can bring you down, unless you allow them to.

I once said that I already had the verse with me when I was still a kid. Some may not know but I’m actually from Bicol. And we, the Bicolanos, are actually fond of saying: Dios Mabalos. Dios meaning God, Mabalos meaning revenge. We usually say that when we’re wishing someone a great life or whenever we see someone in sorrow. But that wouldn’t mean that God is fond of giving revenge. It only means that God only wants to give what is due to everyone and that He just wants to let us know that we are not alone. If life becomes too hard to stand, kneel. Sometimes, you just have to pray and let God know that you need help, and surely he will give what is just. 

Bestfriend Vs. Crush (A request by Danica Viray) :)

Best friends. Yung tipong halos araw-araw kayo magkasama, sobrang mahal nyo isa't isa, lagi kayong anjan para sa isa't isa pero di kayo mag-on. Ang sarap ng feeling ng may bestfriend no? Yung feeling na hindi ka nag iisa. Yung feeling na may magtatanggol sayo. Yung feeling na may nasasabihan ka ng sikreto. Yung feeling na MAY TUTULONG SAYO PARA MAPALAPIT KA SA CRUSH MO. Lalo na kung nagbabalitaan kayo sa mga crush nyo, ganun ganun. Ang saya magkaroon ng bestfriend no? Pero paano kung yung crush ng bestfriend mo biglang naging crush mo din? Halaaaa, patay tayo diyan! Ang hirap mabuhay pag ganun, no? Di mo na alam kung ano gagawin mo, at kung paano mo sasabihin sa bff mo. Siguro nakakatakot sabihin sa bestfriend mo kasi baka sabihin na ang landi mo at kung anu ano pang wala sa lupang mga salitang bibitawan nya....kung siya ay OA pero kung hindi siguro magtatampo lang yun. MWAHEHEEZ. I mean hello crush lang yun di yun shota. =)) Pero how if seryosong crush? Yung tipong feeling mo siya na talaga kaso may hadlang. Tapos ang hadlang yung bestfriend mo pa! Ay, jusko po. Alam mo kung ano dapat gawin? Gusto nyo ng kumplikado pero epektib(kunware) na paraan para malaman? Yuko ka tapos pikit ka. Ta's tingala ka. ta's yuko ulit. Ta's ikot mo ulo mo. Joke lang. Onting exercise lang bago mag isip. Anyway...meron tayong to do list para malaman natin kung sino ang ating pipiliin. :)) Antaray kelangan may lista...First! Isipin kung anong pagkakaiba sa klaseng happiness ang nabibigay ni bestfriend at ni crush. Syempre, una sa lahat kailangan mo malaman kung paano ka napapasaya ni bestfriend..... Syempre madami kang isasagot jan. May kasundo ka sa mga trip.... kahit sobrang pangit mo mahal ka padin nya.. Ta's kahit ang tanga mo andiyan padin sya sayo. Ta's sobrang saya nyo kahit nagkekwentuhan lang! May karamay ka sa lungkot at problema.. Eh si crush? Nakakakilig kaso di mo naman alam kung gusto ka niya. Kung sakaling MU kayo o sa tingin mo ikaw lang gusto nya forever? Sa tingin mo kung pumangit ka gusto ka padin nyan? Di mo din alam kung sigurado na siya sa nararamdaman nya, eh. Grabe ambitter eno..Second! Isipin kung kawalan ba sya o hindi. Si Bestfriend... oo naman. Sobra sobra. Siguro naman di kayo magiging bestfriend kung kahapon lang kayo nagsama diba? Eh halos years na din ata pinagsamahan nyo tapos ipagpapalit mo lang siya sa isang babae o lalaking wala kang kasiguraduhang nasayo hanggang gumuho ang mundo. Eh si crush kahit mawala yan, makakahanap ka ng bago. Jusko, nabuhay ka ng wala si crush pero si bestfriend nakoo.. mahirap pag walang bestfriend. Oh see, kala mo ang haba dalawa lang naman pala. :)) Anyway, gusto ko lang iprove na... wag natin ilevel ang ating mga kaibigan sa mga crush or whatever natin. Si bestfriend di ka nyan sasaktan. Sana ganun ka din sa kanya. Kaya mahalin natin ang ating mga kaibigan more than our lovers. At least sa kanila... may forever talaga. :) Mas maraming mahahalagang bagay kesa sa mga crush crush na yan. Jusko. Bata bata pa natin. WAJEJE ANSAVEH TALAGA?! =)) Gumaganon! Anyway, stay happy!! Make the RIGHT decisions! ♥
