The Power of Prayers

 The Power of Prayers

I am not a prayerful person but it doesn’t mean I am bad. I pray when I am in need…when I am asking for something. I am not a churchgoer as well- where attending mass every Sunday until it becomes a habit.

I have to be honest every time I went to church I can’t hold back my feelings I cry. I have no idea what does it mean but honestly, my tears just drip into my face. Yes, I am a sinner I admit it. I admit that I committed a lot of sins God knows about it.

I remember when I was in a situation where I could nowhere to go to church is my go to place. There was one time I couldn’t breathe because of problems there was this convent that I went to. I sat there for a couple of minutes to have a breather when out of nowhere a nun approached me, tapped my shoulder, and gave me a little leaflet. I forgot what was in the leaflet because that was a long time ago, I just remembered the leaflet. But, for me, it means a lot and I was thinking there was a sign on it.

Yes, I am not a prayerful person but in my head, I am talking to God. I don’t know if that would consider a prayer but whatever that is I never forget God. God is my breather.

Prayers contributed a lot to our souls. Constant prayers make you closer to God and blessed you in so many ways. What I meant was you will be surprised by the blessings that you don’t know where they came from.

Praying a Rosary. I went to catholic school both my 2 years in high school and 4 years in college. I lived in a place near the church. I was influenced by a friend I met accidentally, who happens to be my sorority sister. We were board mates back then. She has a prayerful family that at some point influenced her too.

Every time she had an appointment she always invited me to either a prayer meeting, a small get-together, or even a sleepover in her real house outside the city. She led by example in my spirituality. And to be honest it impacted me a lot that I am able to depend on God every time I am in trouble, in every situation I am in that it is so heavy.

Coronavirus made me insane. Made me paranoid. I don’t wanna die and I am scared to die. I am really scared because I am not really yet to die. I am still enjoying life despite difficulties along the way but I am savoring the creation of God. Until now I am still amazed at his creation—a breath-taking creations.

I became paranoid when I have to go outside although I am following protocols still this contagious is scary. I don’t wanna go out but I have to otherwise I maybe die of starvation.

Since the pandemic started along with my dreams to make it happen I become a prayerful person. There is no night that I am not able to have my rosary. My rosary helps me give more time to soul search and talking to God at the same time. I have more time to know about myself and God.

In my prayers I am not praying for myself but the entire world—my family, friends, siblings, relationships, and many other things. I am praying for peace, love, and happiness.

The Journey Of Losing Weight

Never in my wildest dreams could I be this determined. I always wanted to lose weight, but I could not make it to make it happen. I am aware that I gain weight every time I eat. Every time I eat food that is not healthy, I know something is not good to happen--the stored fats accumulate double. Our body depends on what we eat. The fitter we intake, the better our body can function beautifully. All vital organs can work according to their jurisdiction. How funny it seems that our important organ is like police personnel, their authority to watch for. 

It all started when enhancing community quarantine had been imposed to contain the spread of the deadly virus called coronavirus. Companies applied the work-from-home except for those who work in the food industry or the front line, like doctors, nurses,s and military personnel.

Everybody is staying at home for quite a while makes you gain weight because you have nothing to do but eat-sleep-eat. No activity can burn stored fats.

After two weeks of nothing to do, I admit I gain much weight. I was shocked when I looked at myself in the mirror. Oh, My God! That's the only word that came out of my mouth.

The following day, I grabbed my shoes and laptop, played upbeat music, and danced in front of the mirror. At first, it was hard to drip your sweat right away. I didn't force myself; I wasn't in a rush. I listen to my body. I don't want muscle pain; otherwise, I will force myself to stop the workout for a few days or wait until I am okay.

I started to lessen my carbohydrates from three cups to two cups and began to eat more fruits. Fruits that are rich in protein and fiber are good for the body.

When my body was ready for no more rice, it was easy. The transition was good; I didn't feel dizzy and hungry. I feel hungry but not hungry like you are dying to eat; it's more on craving but manageable. I drink lots of water because water can fill the hunger.

Unfortunately, I didn't weigh my weight, so I have no idea how heavy I was, but I know that it needs a lot of work based on my body shape.

As we age, our metabolism works slowly. It is why fats are stored fast and cause blood circulation not to function normally.

Let's bare in mind Health Is Wealth.

 

              

Secluded Place In The Heart Of The City

 

A posed that had no plan it just happens spontaneously. 

Oh, what a poor girl 

looks like broken-hearted hehe

The posed poised with the right hand on the waist, and while the

was like hand combing.

And the tricycle water service was in action.

It was a place secluded in the heart of the city. I like the place

because it feels like so province-- the air is cold,

quite and no away from polluted highways where

trucks and buses pass by.

The Struggle Of Love

The Struggle Of Love...

I thought love is happiness

I thought love is a partnership 

I thought…I thought… I thought 

So many I thoughts 

That I can't figure out 

I am in pain 

The pain that no one can heal 

Only the one caused it. 

There is no remedy 

Only I have to wait the time will tell 

I don’t know when

 I don’t know-how 

I don’t know I don’t know 

Maybe time will heal 

This pain makes me cry...

Make me shit 

Make me idiot 

Make me crazy 

When there is no closure 

So many questions asked 

So many whys and 

So many how’s

My Take On Coronavirus

My take on what shakes the world about the Pandemic. The virus is very dangerous and fatal to take human lives without any symptoms. I am scared and I am very strict about wearing a face mask, face shield, and social distancing. It is very comfortable and so hassles because it added baggage in your bad plus you look like an idiot since it is the only protection I only got that I am able to share and protect the community and loved ones without any hesitation I am following.

During its peak, going outside near my place I almost can't do it. I was paranoid and it is in my brain the hallucination what if the person that I am talking to has a virus? what if a person sit next to me has a virus? what if a person I asked for has a virus and jumped into me because I am not wearing any protection or because of my carelessness being an irresponsible human being?

Coronavirus took hundreds and thousands of lives. Death it seems a race that got the highest scores declared winner. Families mourning loved ones without seeing and paying their last respect because there are no other ways. I can't imagine their pains that shook their entire lives. I can't imagine the how's and why's they have had. How can they moved on and how to do it.

The world condemned China and hates China. Manufacturing companies withdrawing and taking back their business and invest in nearby countries where the specific countries have no bond or any mutual agreement between china.

The virus starts from them, and who the fool won't believe it is not intentional and came from the flea market or out from bats? Likewise, China also racing the death tools to Italy, the USA, Brazil, and so on. Only the pandemic can reunite the disagreeing leaders. They've been able to set aside their pride, the disliking of each other, and their principles.

No one is exempted neither country should be even the first world countries like the USA, Canada, the UK, NZ deemed to fighting coronavirus how they going to fast track to stop not only the containment.

Everybody is affected by business closure, employee layoffs, rentals, starvations and so on it which is very hard to digest in my big stomach.

 

Prayers have been pouring all over the world... groups and individual prayers had been spared out to all brave front liners ( doctors, nurses, military officers, and many others who belong to basic e necessity) and even to families suffered from losing their loves ones. 

In any form of help had been compassionately shared to most affected countries and families, even the farthest community had been reached out.

Our lives should never be normal, we continue to be scared and paranoid while the coronavirus is still around. No one knows when this gonna stop even the expert didn't know. So, we still fighting the battle, a kind of battle that we don't see our enemies, we don't see where the bullet comes from.

Like I've said coronavirus is deadly. No one should not be taken for granted, all of us are vulnerable...one wrong move and well done-- the game is over!

The precaution that we do is to follow what the doctors say. I think it is not hard to follow orders even if you are the highest person in the world. Again, wearing a mask, wearing a face shield, and apply social distancing is not hard to do. Because applying those is the only way to contain the virus. 

Again, let's work together hand in hand. Our individual cooperation can lighten the burden of our front liners and the community where we are in. 

We continue praying for each and everyone's safety.

Good luck!

God Bless Us All.
