Too many work need to be done this past week..

LENT






Two months ago we are so happy celebrating Christmas but now the Lenten season comes in...
Lent and Valentines for me is identical..Because it tells us one thing and that is LOVE..
for me Lent is one of the way of Jesus to greet us Happy Valentines. hehehe

If you are a catholic you will notice that the church are also going to adapt the color that is favorite of all today,.. PURPLE.. hehehe..
This is the color that you will see inside every church, particularly on the table and on the clothes of the priests.

40 days of preparation for the celebration of Easter Sunday, that is lent.

It started on ash wednesday where most people have ashes on their forehead.
It tells us one thing, "MAMATAY ka rin".. hahahha
thats the reality..



This is the season to repent.
Let us confess our sin and change our life.
like what the priest said while putting ashes on our head, "Repent, and be faithful to the gospel".




The holy week will start on palm sunday wherein we are remembering the entrance of Jesus to jerusalem.

Filipinos have habit of displaying the palm on their house. It means that Jesus is the highest authority in the house.(hopefully all Filipinos know the real meaning, not just display)

On holy thursday there will be a mass remembering the foot spa given by Jesus to his apostle(the washing of the feet. hehe)
After the mass the blessed Eucharist(im not sure) will be placed on the altar of repose where we must pray silently because we are remembering Jesus in Agony. Some people do visita iglesia( some visita merienda haha)

If you notice after the mass there will be no final blessing like the usual mass. Why? because it is a continues prayer until good friday up to the vigil going to easter sunday. The blessing will be given after the mass on easter sunday.




Some of us treats lent as a vacation season, going to beach or swimming pools, outing and many more.
Lot of us do not pay attention to the meaning of lent...

It is the season where we remember that Someone died for us.
Someone sacrifice His own life for the salvation of the sinners like us.
Someone replacing each one of us in the cross..





Jesus accept all the punishment that all of us deserve.

Jesus sacrifice His life not because of your SIN, not because of our sin.
He has done that because of His LOVE for you.




So in this season we must appreciate what He has done for us.
Repent..
and practice fasting and abstinence.
Simple sacrifice compare to what Jesus has done.


Let us be obedient to His words and love Him as HE loved us.

Go to Jesus, and for sure He will embrace you with his unfailing Love....



Have a Blessed Lent everyone!!!!!!!!
^^,

FUN FUN FUN

Its been a week full of FUN...

The Best I.T. Week celebration I ever experience...

Congrats to Ma'am Jeanny and to all I.T faculty...

Congrats also to me and my partner Josh for being a Champion on the Race of the Wits...
Very unexpected win....


The only reason why I join the quiz bee is to try the Computerized Quiz bee system developed in our school, nothing more...The event I really want to join from the start is the programming competition... But that competition falls me into a great disappointment... We solve no one of the given problems.. Maybe we are confused that moment.. because I think we are lacking of teamwork that moment...
....
....
.....
.......
........
.........
...........
.............
..................

But that is OK...

God is really good...

The day before the finals of the race, I pray to God and I say that I want to win that competition..
but I don't expect that to happen because I also said that let the Lord's will be done...

During the last part of the race we don't want to run anymore because I thought that someone else has already been finished the race.. As we walk down the stairs we noticed that the other team still competing... and so we go to the final booth and finished the race first.....

That win is a gift from God,... He grants my wish on a surprising way.. on a very unexpected moment...He is so Great..


There is a funny thought comes out of my mind..

I thought that, we won because its my day.. Its ASH Wednesday (The event happened on Feb. 17 " Ash Wednesday") hahahha...



I also enjoy the Cosplay... It is very fun to watch,. and to see my instructors in anime costumes.. they are so cute.. hahaha..


....................................................................................................................................................................


After the fun events... our thesis defense came.


With so much nervousness we present to the panelist our proposal..
and hopefully they will approve it...

I do not want to all tell all details...

It is FUN.. i enjoy the defense.. even if there are lot of revisions....

Thanks to our panelist....

Valentines

Love.......

Its Valentine again...
Fully booked restaurants and hotels, flowers increasing it price on up 5 times the original, chocolates, valentine promo and many more.


That is the usual happening during this season.


They said this is the time for us to express our love to our loved ones...


Why do we wait for this season to express our love?
I think love must be express everyday and on every single moments of our life.




While a lot of people are busy dating everywhere, saying love message to one another.


Human do love.






















There is someone who is loving us..
Someone who smiles when we are happy.
Someone that is proud when we are recognized..
Someone that sees us as the most beautiful creation..




A lot of time we did not show our love to that one, sometimes we refuse to listen to his command..
and a lot of time we move away from Him..


But even we do all things against His will... 
We are still loved..


Loved by our parents..... and like our parents






We are Unconditionally Loved by God....

Before this day ends, I hope we do not forget to greet them and show our love for them.




When we are in love, we are ready to give everything...


Lately I've heard this statement.


"You can be a giver without being a Lover, but you cannot be a Lover without being a giver"










That is great love.. Giving everything because of love...
Loving without expecting something from the person that you loved...




This is a subjective feeling that no one can explain until they experience it.














That is a magic.. a magic that even God cannot stop Himself from loving us.....


Have a Blessed Valentines to all!!!!!

the Truth

Its been a good day...

I surprisingly received passing grades from the 2 subject that I felt very hard dealing with.
Thank God!!


What is the biggest lie you ever said?

For me everybody tells a lie, even if it is a while lie it still a lie.

Many of us don't want a companion that is a liar.
But have we ever asked ourself if we are a liar?

Let me share you this story i read a while ago.

My friend priest told me this hilarious story.

       One day, a priest saw a group of kids surrounding a dog.

       Curious, he came over and asked, “What are you doing?”

       One kid said, “Father, we’re arguing as to who would own this stray dog. We all want him. So we decided that the one who can say the biggest lie would take home the dog.”

       The priest shook his head and said, “That’s wrong! Do you know that lying is bad? It’s against the commandments of God. Do you know that when I was your age, I never told a single lie?”

       For a moment, there was silence. All the kids looked very sad. The priest was happy. He felt his message hit home.

Finally, the smallest boy said, “Okay, no one can beat that. Give him the dog.”

This story reminds us that all of us sins, even priests..

We lie to other people and also to ourself.

Do you think it is automatic to humans to tell lie?

During our childhood, this is the time most of us learn how to tell simple lies.

To our parents, friends,playmates and sometimes teachers.

On the story, one child did not believe to the priest that he has not said any lies during his childhood and he thought that it is the biggest lie has ever said on that moment.

Every time that we lie, we continuously removing God in to our life.

It is God who proclaimed,

 " I Am the Truth"

Thats why when we lie we ignore the which which is God.

I know to myself that I tell a lie, not once but many times,

But I know there is still time to change, gradually I will stop telling lies..

Until the day comes that I will never tell a single lie anymore..

Who wants to join me? 

God doesn’t look at your mistakes. He doesn’t look at your past. He only looks at the original beauty He created in you from the very beginning. And He also looks at the glorious beauty of your future.

God Bless!!

Shine your Light

What is your talent?

Are you proud of it?

I believe that all of us has our own special talent/skills/gifts, maybe we are not aware of what it is.

For some people they are aware of their gifts, they are using it in a productive way.

Some also aware but they are ashame to show their talent.

Are you familiar with this situation?

man1: Your so good in singing.

man2: No, its just the microphone..

or simply like this

man: Ganda mo naman..

woman: hindi naman.. binobola mo lang ako..

You can relate right?

Is that the way of being HUMBLE ?

For me its not, its just downing your self.

Why not say Thank you??

Is there any wrong saying that words?

God has given us to many gifts, maybe that is a talent to entertain, in academics, in sports and in many other ways. Be not ashamed on our gifts. In the eyes of God you are the most precious and that gift will be your light in this world. Use it to bless other people, share your talent if you have.

Discover your gifts inside you,  let the world be aware on what you have. 

Shine your light.

In this world, there are many people with different perception.

Other maybe shy because they dont want to called boastful for being proud of their gifts.

But always remember that when you let your light shine, many will like you and also many will hate you.

Being humble is not making yourself worthless in the eyes of many.

To be humble is to be proud on your gifts and to say that this gifts are comes from GOD.

For me that is being humble, to give glory and thanks to God who has given us many gifts that we can use in this world.

Be not ashamed on yourselves and 

SHINE YOUR LIGHT

now i will ask you again..

You what is your gift?

Are you proud of it?

Habit

Our instructor tells us about the story of a chicken....
A chicken that always been fed by the farmer's wife, every morning the farmer's wife always went to the chicken to give it food. Many days have past and the chicken became a habit to wait for the farmer's wife to give his food.

One day, the chicken runs to the farmer's wife as the chicken thought that she will bring food, but the farmer's wife killed the chicken as it approaches her. because it is the time that the chicken need to be dressed for f

Lesson: Do not always conclude or act according to the things that usually happened, we do not know that the things that we always experience can lead us to the real purpose.

CHICKEN, CHICKEN, CHICKEN......

In that story i realize many things, and again a question comes out of my mind asking,

Are the things happening in my life now will lead me to good or I will be like the chicken?


Habit...


It is normal for a person to have a habit in different areas of our life.
Like in our house, school, places of work and many more.

Also we have our own habit with the persons that we usually see.

This habit towards a person leads us to expect something from that person when we do something according to our habit.


Habit is a good practice, but we must smart enough to know what is the limitation in every habit that we posses.




















By the way. I am a little bit confuse on the topics that i posted on my blog..
The blog is entitled Ashee's World, but i think in this blog i am always discussing about different issues of topic about human's attitude. Like dicipline, Habit, how we treat money, being a child, and even love.. hehehe

Below the title i said that it will be about my me and everything that happens to my life.... But I think it is not...
hehehehe... i am just writing everything that comes to my mind...

Ahmm...... But thats ok ... this is still my world....

Enjoy...

Simple Things Do Matters MOST

Im so touch in this story..

I think the whole world must know about this story. So that we may realize how important every simple moment in our life.

The story goes this way..

MARRIAGE

When I got home that night as my wife served dinner, I held her hand and said, I've got something to tell you. She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes.

Suddenly I didn't know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know what I was thinking. I want a divorce.. I raised the topic calmly.

She didn't seem to be annoyed by my words, instead she asked me softly, why?

I avoided her question. This made her angry. She threw away the chopsticks and shouted at me, you are not a man! That night, we didn't talk to each other. She was weeping. I knew she wanted to find out what had happened to our marriage. But I could hardly give her a satisfactory answer; she had lost my heart to Dew. I didn't love her anymore. I just pitied her!

With a deep sense of guilt, I drafted a divorce agreement which stated that she could own our house, our car, and 30% stake of my company.

She glanced at it and then tore it into pieces. The woman who had spent ten years of her life with me had become a stranger. I felt sorry for her wasted time, resources and energy but I could not take back what I had said for I loved Dew so dearly. Finally she cried loudly in front of me, which was what I had expected to see. To me her cry was actually a kind of release. The idea of divorce which had obsessed me for several weeks seemed to be firmer and clearer now.

The next day, I came back home very late and found her writing something at the table. I didn't have supper but went straight to sleep and fell asleep very fast because I was tired after an eventful day with Dew.

When I woke up, she was still there at the table writing. I just did not care so I turned over and was asleep again.

In the morning she presented her divorce conditions: she didn't want anything from me, but needed a month's notice before the divorce.
She requested that in that one month we both struggle to live as normal a life as possible. Her reasons were simple: our son had his exams in a month's time and she didn't want to disrupt him with our broken marriage.

This was agreeable to me. But she had something more, she asked me to recall how I had carried her into out bridal room on our wedding day.

She requested that everyday for the month's duration I carry her out of our bedroom to the front door ever morning.. I thought she was going crazy. Just to make our last days together bearable I accepted her odd request.

I told Dew about my wife's divorce conditions.. . She laughed loudly and thought it was absurd. No matter what tricks she applies, she has to face the divorce, she said scornfully..

My wife and I hadn't had any body contact since my divorce intention was explicitly expressed. So when I carried her out on the first day, we both appeared clumsy. Our son clapped behind us, daddy is holding mummy in his arms. His words brought me a sense of pain. From the bedroom to the sitting room, then to the door, I walked over ten meters with her in my arms. She closed her eyes and said softly; don't tell our son about the divorce. I nodded, feeling somewhat upset. I put her down outside the door. She went to wait for the bus to work. I drove alone to the office.

On the second day, both of us acted much more easily. She leaned on my chest. I could smell the fragrance of her blouse. I realized that I hadn't looked at this woman carefully for a long time.. I realized she was not young any more. There were fine wrinkles on her face, her hair was graying! Our marriage had taken its toll on her. For a minute I wondered what I had done to her.

On the fourth day, when I lifted her up, I felt a sense of intimacy returning. This was the woman who had given ten years of her life to me.

On the fifth and sixth day, I realized that our sense of intimacy was growing again. I didn't tell Dew about this. It became easier to carry her as the month slipped by. Perhaps the everyday workout made me stronger.

She was choosing what to wear one morning. She tried on quite a few dresses but could not find a suitable one. Then she sighed, all my dresses have grown bigger. I suddenly realized that she had grown so thin, that was the reason why I could carry her more easily.

Suddenly it hit me... she had buried so much pain and bitterness in her heart. Subconsciously I reached out and touched her head.

Our son came in at the moment and said, Dad, it's time to carry mum out. To him, seeing his father carrying his mother out had become an essential part of his life. My wife gestured to our son to come closer and hugged him tightly. I turned my face away because I was afraid I might change my mind at this last minute. I then held her in my arms, walking from the bedroom, through the sitting room, to the hallway. Her hand surrounded my neck softly and naturally. I held her body tightly; it was just like our wedding day.

But her much lighter weight made me sad. On the last day, when I held her in my arms I could hardly move a step. Our son had gone to school. I held her tightly and said, I hadn't noticed that our life lacked intimacy.

I drove to office.... jumped out of the car swiftly without locking the door. I was afraid any delay would make me change my mind...I walked upstairs. Dew opened the door and I said to her, Sorry, Dew, I do not want the divorce anymore.

She looked at me, astonished, and then touched my forehead.. Do you have a fever? She said. I moved her hand off my head. Sorry, Dew, I said, I won't divorce. My marriage life was boring probably because she and I didn't value the details of our lives, not because we didn't love each other any more. Now I realize that since I carried her into my home on our wedding day I am supposed to hold her until death do us apart.

Dew seemed to suddenly wake up. She gave me a loud slap and then slammed the door and burst into tears. I walked downstairs and drove away.

At the floral shop on the way, I ordered a bouquet of flowers for my wife. The salesgirl asked me what to write on the card. I smiled and wrote, I'll carry you out every morning until death do us apart.

That evening I arrived home, flowers in my hands, a smile on my face, I run up stairs, only to find my wife in the bed - dead.

How Sad....


The small details of your lives are what really matter in a relationship. It is not the mansion, the car, property, the money in the bank. These create an environment conducive for happiness but cannot give happiness in themselves. So find time to be your spouse's friend and do those little things for each other that build intimacy. Do have a real happy marriage!



Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up. 

Love Month

Its February again..
The say its a month of love..
The most popular occasion in this month is the Valentines Day.

Why do people go crazy when talking about love?
specifically, romantic love between boy and girl.

Maybe it is a feeling that can be explained to yourself by yourself.
Every people have different interpretation or meaning about love,

It is really a mysterious emotion.

Is Valentines day really for lovers only ?

No, definitely not..

This month is not about partners only, thats why im asking why some people think that they need to have a gf/bf when this day comes. We can celebrate this day with our family and friends.

For me Valentines day is somehow like Christmas.

This to season, reminds us about one thing, and that is Love. Its is a gift given by God.
If you will study the bible it will tell us to love and love and love...
This is the reason of everything.


So in this season, let us not focus ourself in finding a partner. but to value everyone that you love and make them feel that they are worth loving. Let us thank the Lord for this gift of Love and let us make this world a lovelier place..
