There are two type of imagination.  Reproductive imagination is the mental action of reproducing mental images stored.  It is like re-visiting the places or seeing romantic views through imagination we did in the past. " Ito yung malayo ang tinging eh wala naman tinitingnan."   Creative imagination is the process of combining former experience in the creation of new images which are different from any of those previously experienced. It is the kind of imagination that has benefited mankind and left it's mark upon the world through invention and discoveries since the dawn of civilization.

Imagination without action is scarcely more than "day-dreaming," and can benefit only the person so engaged.  Our creative mind can create and shape our life we meant to be.  Whatever creative images we are able to produce, let us not forget that God is always the Creator and man is the discoverer of the creative powers which God has installed in us.  Man is limited in his possibilities, however only by his thoughts and imaginations, backed up with God's word and faith to believe the impossble, great things will happen it man's life.

Let us become a dreamers of dream with creative imagination that makes our life with full of possibilities that we can make our world a peaceful and enjoyable world to live.

GOD BLESS US ALL.

As I mentioned in my last blog, I had two main goals for the year 2009 and Goal Number 1 is accomplished. It's time for Goal Number 2.

When I left the Philippines late last year, I left someone with a promise (read: I Already Found The One) and that's also a promise I made to myself. It's time to deliver the promise.

The goal is simple. I will just tell the woman I love that I am in love with her. Simple right? Well, not quite.

I had plans early on. A candlelight dinner on a restaurant with singers serenading on the side and when the timing is perfect, I will pop out the three-word phrase. Sounds corny, eh? You bet. That's probably why it did not go that way. Haha.

I can't do that today because she decided to leave the country as well a month or so before I arrived here. Yes, you read it right; she also decided to go abroad to work.

So how can I court someone that I am not seeing (well, I see her on the web cam from time to time...hehe)? That will be the challenge.

And to start it formally, I invited her mom to a date (since she's not in the country). We went to one of the happiest place on Earth, where I got to know her and made me realize that she is the one. After that, we had lunch and told her that I will be courting her daughter.

I don't know what will happen next and the story is just beginning to unfold. I just know that I love this woman and I will make her realize that I'm willing and ready to take care of her for the rest of her life, if she will let me.

The Tremendous Value of the Holy Mass
By Saint Leonard

At the hour of death, the Holy Masses you have heard devoutly will be your greatest consolation. 

God forgives you all the venial sins which you are determined to avoid. He forgives you all your unknown sins which you never confessed. The power of Satan over you is diminished.

Every Mass will go with you to Judgment and will plead for pardon for you.

By every Mass, you can diminish the temporal punishment due to your sins, more or less, according to your fervor.

By devoutly assisting at Holy Mass, you render the greatest homage possible to the Sacred Humanity of Our Lord.

Through the Holy Sacrifice, Our Lord Jesus Christ, supplies for many of your negligences and omissions.

By piously hearing Holy Mass, you afford the Souls in Purgatory the greatest possible relief.

One Holy Mass heard during your life will be of more benefit to you than many heard for you after your death.

Through Holy Mass, you are preserved from many dangers and misfortunes which would otherwise have befallen you. You shorten your Purgatory by every Mass.

During the Holy Mass, you kneel amid a multitude of holy Angels, who are present at the Adorable Sacrifice with reverential awe.

Through Holy Mass, you are blessed in your temporal goods and affairs.

When you hear Holy Mass devoutly, offering it to Almighty God in honor of any particular Saint or Angel, thanking God for the favors bestowed on him, etc., etc., you afford that Saint or Angel a new degree of honor, joy and happiness, and draw his special love and protection on yourself.

Every time you assist at Holy Mass, besides other intentions, you should offer it in honor of the Saint of the day.

Love not the world.

“Love not the world,” Mrs. Millendez quoted in our English class two or three days ago.

This line may be common to others but it was my first time to hear it. And gosh. I loved it.

Some random sayings do not catch my hearing but this one really rang a bell in my ear. For it was true. Really, really true.

At first, the meaning may seem very blurry. But as my English teacher explained thoroughly, I concluded that we must love not our world. But love God’s world instead.

But is there a difference between our world and God’s world? Didn’t God make our world which would serve as the world for God and Us?

Yes. God’s world and Our world are physically the same, but it revolves in different aspects and perspectives.

Our world.

Our world is composed of material things. Our world is full of worldly matters. Our world is filled to the brim with human wants. Full of people’s interests.

Many people love the world. They cherish, adore, praise the presence of material things. They love tangibility, people love everything. 

People who love the world love money.

A person who loves the world loves the computer.

A man who loves the world wants women.

A teen who loves the world reads the comic section of the newspaper.

A student who loves the world wants a prestigous university.

This is the people of Our world. Their interest are for their own sakes. They only want to have the materials for pleasure, their own pleasure for their own world.

Our world is the devil’s array of conspiracy items. Tangibility is his handy tool. He uses Our world to buildup his own world. To enlarge his empire. And to extend his own world.

So if Our world is in the utilization of the devil. Then our world is the Devil’s world.

We must walk away from this world and go to God’s world. But what is God’s world?

God’s world.

God’s world is much very like Our world. Every aspect of our physical world is included in God’s world. But people who love God’s world loves not the world but the habitants of the world. So it uses up the tangible things Our world offers and uses it to love the habitants of God’s world.

Damn it is so confusing. Here’s the explanation.

People in Our world uses things to love only themselves. People in God’s world uses things to love others and themselves.

People who love God’s world love money for they want to love others. The love money for they want to give others comfort. The love money because they love to give.

A person who loves God’s world loves the computer for they love to send a message, in a worldwide basis. Through the internet. To help people out of their reach.

A man who loves God’s world loves a woman. Hee does not want a woman but to love a woman. And a woman, not women. A man loves God’s world for he wants to love, not to want.

A teen who loves God’s world loves to read comic section of the newspaper. For he had read the whole newspaper and had reached the last part of the paper, which is the comic section part.

A student who loves God’s world loves a school because he loves education. It need not to be a very prestigious school, but he loves a school from which he would learn more knowledge. Because he loves to learn.

These people stay in the residence of God’s world. They now live comfortable lives in God’s couches, sleep on God’s bed and eat on God’s plate.

People who love God’s world uses tangible things and turn it into something immaterial. The send material into something emotional. They use things not to love themselves but to love others.

In God’s world, God uses tangibility to produce intangibility. In God’s world, people live on joy not on pleasure. They breathe in fresh air rather than air-conditioned air. They talk of wisdom not of knowledge. The love others not only themselves.

Living in Our world is being greedy. Living in God’s world is being giving.

Living in our world is being successful. Living in God’s world is being humble and successful.

Living in our world is being financially rich. Living in God’s world is being financially and spiritually rich.

Living in our world is being a guy. Living in God’s world is being a man.

In Our community you are a citizen. In God’s community you are a member.

Now, what do you love?

We have two worlds.

Ours and God’s. You obviously know what is better.

So Love not the world.

Love God’s world.

Yeah I know, friendster blogs are primitive. That's fine, I'm primordial. Thanks.

Ever since I came back to the FEAST, I had this ardent desire to serve in the ministry full time.  As to the details of how this came to be, I will just talk about it in another blog entry.

For the past 5 weeks, I attended the FEAST 3x a week.  Thursdays at AIM, Fridays at SM Manila (where I serve), and Sundays at Valle Verde.  I was so hungry for God to fill my depleted love tank that if Marilao Bulacan isn't just so far away I would have gone there myself on Saturdays. 

The theme of the FEAST for the whole month was generosity--the G Force--and special emphasis was made on tithing.  Bro. Randy Borromeo was very emphatic on how our generosity cannot ever outdo the generosity of God, and whatever we give in the tithing, will be given back in many folds.  It was just how God's universe works.  It's the law.

And so last Thursday, I tithed what I would consider as a big amount.  Considering I already resigned from my job (I had to let NO to somethings so I can say YES to the ministry!), I really had to swallow hard because I am one who is always afraid to lose money.  But I found myself inserting the bill inside the tithe envelope and I wrote on the petition: FULL TIME MINISTRY AS A PREACHER.

When I got home I somehow felt something different about me:  I lost my fear of losing money.

The following morning, I received a text message from Bro. Arun Gogna, another K preacher, asking me if I was available to give a talk to his community on Saturday.  What did you think I felt?

ALLLLRIGHTTT!

It was an answered prayer!

God loves a cheerful giver.
