VERSE OF THE DAY: ISAIAH 41:13 & ISAIAH 41:9-10

Last night during our non-class, my dear classmate Elaine shared a verse with me while I was nervously waiting for our still unknown professor. 

Isaiah 41:13

"For I am the Lord, your God,
who takes hold of your right hand,
and say to you, Do not fear;
I will help you."

She said it helped her during those time when she was nervous herself, and when she read the verse, those feeling goes away because she knows God will help her no matter what. 

And just this morning, like last night, I was a little nervous and scared for the things that I did that might go wrong. I know I'm still a newbie at work, but that is not an excuse if you fail at it. So I revisited Isaiah 41:13 (I found my bible in my drawer just this morning also, coincidence, I think not), and I felt relieved already.

Then, another verse caught my eye:

Isaiah 41:9-10

"I took you from the ends of the earth,
from its farthest corners I called you.
I said, 'You are my servant';
I have chosen you and have not rejected
you.

So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed for I am your God
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my with my righteous
right hand."

Now, reflecting on His words, He will not give me any problems that I cannot solve, He knows my strengths and weaknesses, and for whatever things that I did, whatever outcome it may bring, I know that it will be a lesson for me, for me to become a better person, a better worker, a person in service for Him.

ESTUYANTES: HOW TO SURVIVE THE BAD WEATHER. SIMPLE YET EFFECTIVE.

The first two days have already been cancelled due to bad weather. Last Monday night was the second time of my 5 years (This will be my 6th, and I'm not THAT old) in college to experience flood in the Streets of Pureza. 

So, to those who are studying in PUP (this also applies to those who study in the U-Belt Area, or in any school that experience flooding, or rain in that matter, OKAY this applies to ALL STUDENTS!) , let me tell you some tips on how to survive in these bad and unpredictable Manila (Philippines) (Tropical) weather. 

First, DO NOT PANIC! Think things through, how will you get home, what route to take, do I have enough money. Don't make rash decisions. You might end up, getting lost or worse conquer the flood ( Oh NO!!! Leptospirosis!) 

DOS. YOU MUST HAVE AN UMBRELLA ALL THE TIME! ALL THE FREAKING TIME! Even if it's sunny when you get out of your house, remember you live in the Philippines, even the Pag-asa doesn't know when it will rain (insert the song of Paramore, When It Rains), so to be safe, ALWAYS ALWAYS bring your umbrella-ella-ella-eeee!

TRES. If you like wearing shoes to school, BRING FLIPFLOPS (tsinelas), you don't want to have your shoes wet do you? And you'll avoid the risk of having athletes foot. Or even bring or wear boots to be very extra careful. 

FINALE. Have waterproof/water resistant bags, or if you don't have that, just bring plastic bags where you could put your books, notebooks, cellphone, etc. so your belongings won't get wet. Sayang sa pera!. 

PS. HAVE PRESENCE OF MIND, BE STREET SMART! Aanhin mo ang pera mo kung hindi ka marunong dumiskarte. 

That's my list, but remember, do what suits you. Have a back up plan. Think it through so you won't end up like a cat in the rain. 

HAVE FUN ON YOUR STAY AT OUR SINTANG PAARALAN.

ELEANOR AND PARK BOOK REVIEW

FINALLY  had a copy of Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell. I've been searching for it forever!

The moment I read the first paragraph, I knew that my emotions while reading this story will only be going downward spiral. I never expected for it to have a happy ending, I expected someone dying, someone very much maltreated, well, expectations broken. 

Eleanor came from a rough family,many siblings, abusive stepdad, irresponsible father, blind mother. Park was spoon fed all his life,
