Please call me Jesus Freak. Ripped from the lyrics of DC Talk's 'Jesus Freak': What would people think when they hear that I'm a Jesus freak? What would people do when they find that it's true? I don't really care if they labled me a Jesus freak; There ain't no disguise in the Truth.

Wondering who's the ugly baby Satan was carrying in the movie? Kamukha ni Mahal o Mura. What are it's implications?

The Passion of the Christ

Its been two hours since watching The Passion of the Christ. Beautiful does not make justice in describing this movie. It's moving, powerful. This movie gave a sense of reality other standard Jesus movies missed. This showed the humanity of Jesus. Most of the scenes were heart-wrenching. It left me with a deeper sense of love, respect and reverence to my Savior. Should I watch it again? I always watch good movies over and over again... but this one, it's too painful too endure. One thing that they could have done better was to feature the Ressurection longer and include the Ascension of Jesus Christ. But it's all good. I think my family will be watching it on Sunday. I read a 56-year old woman had a heart-attack and later died after watching the crucifixion. I also read a serial killer and a neo-Nazi surrendered to authority after watching this movie. So powerful. It makes me think I've been too complacent in my walk with the Lord. Watching the movie, I longed to serve more and suffer for Him, being counted worthy of suffering disgrace for His name (Acts 5:40-42, also read the Heavenly Man.) After the movie, I went to wash my face because my eyes were swelling.. People won't understand it if they don't have a 'personal relationship' with JC. It's like my friend or brother is on that movie screen. I went straight to Radio City and bought the movie soundtrack. I will be all over this for a few weeks.

Crossraods 1

My love for this job is slowly disintegrating. Before its more of willingness to create but now its an assignment I cannot get out of. Money is good, but not the craft. I'm holding on to something for the wrong reasons. I want to go back to web designing. I want to fuse my work and my faith. Is this another crossroad I have to take?

Just woke up. I missed another conference chat with Jon again. It was supposed to be an hour earlier. They just notified me this morning. Bad trip na insomia yan.

O yan, tinanggal ko na.. nainsecure tuloy ako..

Sabi ni JP tanggalin ko daw yung pic ko sa side. Bakit ba.. astig nga e..

I woke up 30 minutes ago via artificial method - double alarm clocks. Head hurts. Tulog mantika kasi ako. Tsaka I slept around 5AM though I was on bed at 3AM, just staring in the dark. Grabe na insomia ko. I'll be going to Makati before lunch.

So Much to Read...

I just finished reading The Da Vinci Code in 3 days, I'm quite proud of it. Lately I've been inclined to read stories rather than principle/leadership books. After reading the LOTR novels and the DVC, I was craving for more stories. I'm thinking of getting Dan Brown's Angels and Demons, this came before DVC. I'm the kind of person who after reads a good book or saw a great movie, gets engrossed with it. I would check out websites, know the creators, read trivial facts about it etc.. like a stalker. Right now these are in my reading list: Purpose Driven Life (Very good!) and 21 Irefutable Laws of Leadership by John Maxwell. Just finished reading The Heavenly Man (Very good true-to-life story). I bought these but haven't read or finished reading: Boy meets Girl and Not a Hint by Joshua Harris. I love books. Few years back I can't stand reading a book without pictures. I don't remember when I started reading but it helps me a lot, especially the leadership books. I makes me look smart... joke..

The Lake

I took this picture three weeks ago during a district church convention at Calirarya Recreation Center in Cavinti, Laguna. Pictures like this are synonymous with luck, I not a professional photographer but I like the fact that I am capable of taking shots like this. My camera is a Canon A200 digital camera.

I just saw a commercial campaign of Fernando Poe Jr. and it sucks.. The one he's chit chatting with cheerleaders, so artista-ish... He really doesn't understand what he's getting into. I received this e-mail about a list of his interviews with his candid answers.. tsktsk.. I don't know what would happen to the Philippines if he wins. Basta ako Brother Eddie pa rin, even if I'm not voting. I'm not a registered voter. A family tradition. I grew up never seeing my parents vote, I guess that's one thing I got from them.

True leadership requires trust. A trust that defies title, position, social status or wealth. People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care. A person who thinks he leads yet no one follows him is only taking a walk.

I just woke up.. missed a couple of conference chats at work.. damn..

Lost In Translation

I'm currently watching a pirated DVD of Lost in Translation in my PC. Its a good movie artistically, I always appreciate vivid depiction of culture in movies. But I don't seem to get the deeper message of this movie other than two Americans acquainted in Japan.. After the second service this morning I joined Candy's group to eat & watch movie at SM Manila. Halfway through the Scooby Doo 2 movie made me skipping between waking & dreaming. After that we spent some time at the arcade.. Joallyn's family took me to Saisaki West Ave. It's been a long time I haven't eaten eat-all-can buffet. They are always generous. Bless their family. It's always been good to spend time with my young people's family. I'll be going later to Robplace later to buy reserved tickets for the Passion on Wednesday. I was wondering if the movie was that big of a movie, they provided ticket reservation on the first day of showing. But still watching the movie held tears in my eye.. I have shallow tears, believe it or not.. I think I will be sobbing watching this movie..

First Time

This was the first Saturday Candy led the singspiration. And I am impressed with how she handled it with 'professionalism'. I always tell my leaders to 'challenge themselves' which is one of my personal principles in life. I feel a need for self-sacrifice, which is a melancholic trait with its pros and cons..

Da Vinci Code

Just finished reading the Da Vinci Code. It is a good adventure-mystery novel except for the Jesus theories which I despised. Bubu recommended it to me, after handing her a Purpose Driven Life book. After reading it I thought she was trying to 'annoy' me with the Jesus theories. Anyway the 'effect' didn't really last. I saw at us.imdb.com that they will be making a film out of this novel. Can't wait to see it.
