TALAMBUHAY
The mother was inflicted with German measles during her
pregnancy,
From said disease,
the chance of a healthy and normal baby was slim
The worried father
suffered ulcer of the possibility of having a physically impaired or mentally
retardate daughter.
The long wait and
agony were over on the last week of April
Lo and behold, the
broiler was born
The parents
wondered why she had light complexion when the heated womb should have affected
her color.
That baby girl
never played Barbie but explored vast grasslands hunting spiders,
Yes, she climbed
trees, flipped cards, flew kites and had scars riding bikes.
Active childhood
was what she got for growing up with her two brothers.
School has never
been that appealing like ice cream to her
To stay in the
first section and to pass UPCAT were all she dreamed of after realizing that
her height disqualifies her to enter PMA
Over the years, she
learned English, Mathematics, Science and all household chores.
At 17, Iloilo city
had been her new residence
During college,
only then that life truly began for her
Encountering Jesus
was encountering one’s first, perfect and lasting love
You call that simple lady, Dux.
This is not yet done.... I'm already sleepy.. the best seasons in my timeline are not yet in the poem...
Matthew 11:15 He who has ears to hear, let him hear!
SEEKING THE LOST

A professional diver has in his home two halves of an oyster shell with a piece of paper between the halves.
While diving one day on the bottom of the ocean, he noticed an oyster with a piece of paper in its mouth. He detached the oyster and held the piece of paper close to the goggles of his headgear. He found that it was a Gospel tract telling how to become a Christian, and calling on whoever read it to repent of his sins.
The amazed diver said, “I cannot hold out against God any longer, since He has gone to so much trouble to track me down.” At the bottom of the ocean he repented of his sins and placed His faith in Jesus Christ. God used an oyster to change the man’s life.
Zacchaeus was a tax collector who was wealthy because he charged people too much and pocketed the difference. He was in Jericho the day Jesus came, and he wanted to see him. But not having the height advantage of Michael Jordan, he couldn’t see over the crowd. So he ran ahead and climbed a tree. When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up, "Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house today." He welcomed him gladly. The people began to mutter, "He has gone to be the guest of a 'sinner.’” Zacchaeus said…, "Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount." Jesus said, "Today salvation has come to this house…. For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost" (Luke 19:1-10).
If God is speaking loud and clear to you today, don’t you think it’s time for you to act in response? Whether you are on the bottom of the ocean or in a tree-top or driving your car to work, He sees you and He’s calling you to respond.
Instead of walking Bub around, I just played with him a bit and went off biking.
