Cold-hearted

He take a look at the box and check if there is something edible inside. Flip through the newspapers and some dirty tissue paper.

His backpack is tattered and his jacket is unwashed for some month.

I take a look at him at the for some minutes. Stared at what he is doing and look away as if he does not exists.

March 10 2011 on my way to Tokyo

This was my note on my phone while i am on my way to Tokyo for the meeting. i love to write my thoughts on if i am not reading something. here it is.


While taking the train to Tokyo I feel so happy and relax. Am I. I just write it in a fashion to make my reader feel great. aba nag ambition ang sarili as if my mga readers. Anyway I don't know what to write I just want to let you know I am happy on this trip.

I was in a state wherein I was so stressed. It makes me want to run away because of the many things I need to do and decide. I have accepted this appointment and so I need to see what I can. It's easy to give up and pack up my things and leave. But it's more meaningful if I face the challenge ahead of me and be able to take the responsibility. Failure or success I am here. I don't need that. All I have to know and develop is that I am here to be with my people. I am ready to take the challenge but it will take a lot of time for me.

Had fun and be happy wala naman mawawala sa akin if I am a failure. I had my success already and that is enough. All I need to do know is just do what I can and be ready to face the challenges that is there.

It's good we have a good weather today and I can say it's so relaxing to be here in this area of Japan.

Not so young anymore

I used to think i am still young. Most people do right? For most of us we thought people around us is growing older, but not ourselves. We always thought we are young.

Today i just happened to talk to a seventeen years old second year senior high school student you happen to visit our church. Since its his first time to visit the church, i am personally curious how come why did he decided to come and visit the church. He loved reading books and from the books he discovered about the church and he bacame interested and decided to visit a church.

We do not have young people who come to the church and its a pity we don`t know how to handle the needs of the young people in our church. The visitation of this young man to our church opens a lot of possibilities for us to know what is in the mind of the young people. Talking to this young man help me realized that there is a world in which we tend to overlook. And that the need to re evaluate our way of doing mission here.

At the same time i feel am not so young anymore. Being with the people older than me always makes me feel young always. I have to face that reality that its my turn to teach the young people and be with them although sometimes i cannot understand their world.
