Ang Pasko kong Paksiw

*ahem*

Pasko Na Naman
O Kay tulin ng araw
Paskong nagdaan,
Tila ba kung kailan lang
Ngayon ay Pasko,
Dapat pasalamatan
Ngayon ay Pasko
Tayo ay mag-awitan

Koro:
Pasko! Pasko!
Pasko na namang muli!
Tanging araw na ating
pinakamimithi,
Pasko! Pasko!
Pasko na namang muli!
Ang pag-ibig
naghahari.

(ulit-ulitin ang lahat  hanggang sa mapagod)

12 days nalang bago magpasko pero hindi ko pa rin talaga ramdam ito. hindi talaga ako ganito, ngayon lang ako hindi naexcite sa christmas. gusto ko magregalo pero ayoko pang bumili. gusto ko magplano ng christmas party pero para san pa? malamang puno din and schedule ng mga taong iimbitahan ko.

nararamadaman ko lang ang pasko dahil:

1) traffic. ang nagdagsaan na naman ang libu-libong tao na hindi mo alam kung san nanggaling.

2) ang sikip sa mall at parang nauubusan ka palagi ng mga items na gusto mo. “mam, last na po yan”, “wala na po kami ng size mo” o di kaya “sorry yan nalang po ang kulay na meron”

3) ang daming nangangaroling sa kalsada na nagdadagdag sa traffic.

4) sandamukal na christmas party. well, masaya naman ang party pero. . . BAKIT KASI SABAY-SABAY??? o_o

5) sale nga, nabudget mo naman na pera mo. T_T

6) consumerism. graa~

ewan ko kung tumatanda nalang ako, pero bakit ganun, parang masyadong nahype ang pag-aaquire ng gamit ngayon pasko? dahil ba ito sa ondoy at bumibili ang mga mamamayan ng gamit at kung anu-ano pa? hmmm. . .  pwede.

ewan.

ang pasko ko ngayon parang paksiw—maasim.

current mood: ewan.

The Roaring Twenties

I’ve been busy with my new art blog lately and to tell you honestly i’ve neglected Coffee Cup Adventures site, forgive me. But I’m back! and i want to tackle something new in this blog that i’ve never done before—fashion.

I always plan my wardrobe towards the end of the year. why? SALES of course. hehe! but really i always want a new fashion style every new year. this year i went from rock chic to smart casual korean style. that’s for 2009, and for 2010 i want something different, well different for me that is. now i’m into vintage clothes specifically in the 1920’s.

cloche hats, pleated skirts, long pearl necklaces. yes, the roaring twenties is back!

 

Searched the internet and here are some examples of what the 1920’s fashion looks like:

We actually did some shopping already and here are some hats that we found:

Live or Die

I’ve been thinking about death lately, not because i’m about to die but maybe because of its uncertainty—when will it happen? how will i die? and of course, what will happen after? these questions lingered in my mind while i was at a wake last weekend.

last week i’ve read a story in the bible about a rich man and an ordinary guy named Lazarus. (Luke 16:19-31) here’s the text:

There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day. At his gate was laid a beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores and longing to eat what fell from the rich man’s table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.

The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried. In hell, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. So he called to him, “Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.”

But Abraham replied, “Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony. And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.” He answered, “Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my father’s house,for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.” Abraham replied, “They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.” “No, father Abraham,” he said, “but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.” He said to him, “If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.”

going to heaven and having a relationship with God is not about good works, it’s not about religion, it’s about what Jesus did on the cross for you and me. He died so that we will not experience a total separation from God because of our sins.

each of us will be given an chance to decide—to surrender our life to Jesus or neglect the opportunity to enjoy eternity with Him in heaven. we have a choice.
