I Am Sam Lines
====================
"All you need is love." -Lucy

Lucy: [being observed] I want no other daddy but you. [turns to the glass]
Lucy: DID YOU HEAR THAT! WHY DON'T YOU WRITE THAT DOWN!

Lucy: Daddy? Why are you like that?
Sam: What do you mean?
Lucy: You're different.
Sam: Yeah, but what do you mean?
Lucy: You're not like other daddies.
Sam: I'm sorry.
Lucy: No, daddy it's ok. It's ok. Nobody else's daddy ever comes to the park.
[Sam giggles]
Sam: That's true!

A Walk To Remember Lines
======================

"Ya know, I was getting along with everything fine. I accepted it, and then you happened! I do not need a reason to be angry with God." -Jamie

"Jamie saved my life. She taught me everything. About life, hope and the long journey ahead. I'll always miss her. But our love is like the wind. I can't see it, but I can feel it." -Landon

Landon: Are you scared?
Jamie: To death...
[Landon looks upset]
Jamie: Lighten up.
Landon: It's not funny.
Jamie: I'm scared of not being with you..

If you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it. If you don't ask, the answer is always no. If you don't step forward, you're always in the same place.

Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.

His Way

..while doin' my ethics subject deliverable last night, this song by the Switchfoot (this is your life), one of my favorite Christian bands, was played..

yesterday is a wrinkle on your forehead
yesterday is a promise that you've broken

don't close your eyes,
don't close your eyes

this is your life and today is all you've got now
yeah, and today is all you'll ever have

don't close your eyes
don't close your eyes

this is your life, are you who you want to be
this is your life, are you who you want to be
this is your life, is it everything you dreamed that it would be
when the world was younger and you had everything to lose

yesterday is a kid in the corner
yesterday is dead and over

..while listening, i paused for a moment and started to think for awhile.

yeah, this is my life,
i know everything i want.
i have my goals, plans, and dreams..
i know who i want to be...

..but the question is am i livin' the life God wants me to live?

wanting to be the person God desires you to be is not enough.

this new year is a new chapter. a new beginning..

we'd better start living the way He has called us to be.

Glimpse of 2004

year '04 for me was indeed great.. a year of new friends, unforgettable experiences and moments, challenges and tasks that really developed and nurtured me more, and most of all, it was a year that i could say, i was closer to Him than i was before..

January to April '04
..the youth band started to pick up. zee, the leader of our Redeemed Youth, named the band Next of Kin. Jay, our drummer, and Fortune, our keyboardist, improved vastly in terms of their skills. Alee, the lead guitarist of our group took my challenge as he came out from his cocoon, making his electric guitar cry everytime the band plays.. Miguel was just as steady.. being the bassist, he was and will always be the backbone of the band.

..and when Karen came back from Davao, joined us again, and led the band as the lead vocalist, everything fell into their right places.

May to July
.. i became close with venessa gomez after four years since i've first met her. it started with our YM chats and during the Youth camp, i fell in love with her..

August to October
my mom gave up our place at cubao because of financial difficulties so it turned out that we had to go on separate ways for the meanwhile. i stayed at Manila, near UST, at the place of my cousin.

.. amisdt loneliness and the feeling of "being alone" i had, i found comfort and happiness with my Redeemed Youth friends. they became my second family. weekends have always been fun and memorable to me because of them.. those basketball games every saturday nights, the movies after sunday services, the food trips, and most of all, the Baguio retreat we had.. everything was just memorable!

.. and also, my CS2K5 barx who have always been there.. those overnights because of school works, the parties which i'll never forget ( birthday ni abi and yung acquaintance party! haha), and most of all, the bonding sessions (kasama na dun yung inuman sessions.. hehe)!

November to December
..gone are the days when after all souls' day, all i'm thinking already was Christmas season. because of pressuring school works (thesis and mulitmedia projects) and church commitments and responsibilities (youth concert and sunday & wednesday services), i didn't notice and felt the Christmas season..

..but i'll never forget the first and last Christmas party of our class.. sobrang sakit ng tiyan ko nun sa katatawa!

..fortunately, upon going home to our province in Batangas during our 2-week break, i felt Christmas naman.. dami kasing food eh! hehe..

People who played a big part in my '04
1. ate peews - my sister who was so generous and caring to me.. as she started working, she always gave me my allowance and some extra bucks whenever i'm in need.
2. vannie - i'll always cherish and treasure the bond that was established between us during the year.
3. Kristine Joyce - my friend whom i saw a little sister i had always dreamt of and whom i really treated as one..
4. Bestfriend Keren - my bhez who had always been there for me all throughout the year.
5. Maxx Mina - my new friend who had stepped up as the Next of Kin's new lead guitarist when Alee left. despite the circumstances, our friendship has stayed strong because i believe that what we have is indeed geniune.
6. Kuya Gary - my mentor and my coach. he's 1 of the people who have influenced me greatly on my walk with the Lord.
7. CS2K5 - my UST barkada who had always made my school days memorable.. mapa serious or kwela mode!
8. Redeemed Youth - my church barkada whom i had the honor and priviledge of serving the Lord with.
