Just last night, I was contemplating on the dishes I was washing when I saw some dirt in the water dripping from the faucet. immediately checked it and true to what I saw, there were indeed some dirt in the water. I sighed. It would be amazing if I had a whole house water filter so that I could have clean, dirt-free water for washing, bathing, and yes, cooking. It’s sad to see that in some parts of the world, water is scarce already, and now we have to start worrying about clean water? Please guys take care of Mother Nature! If we don’t take care of our environment, the environment will lash back at us! I shiver with the thought.

Dear Father, the noise of the world is too great; the demands of the day too high. Things are happening so fast that they are over even before I begin to realize that they have come. I don’t know anymore which of the things I do makes any sense at all. I don’t know anymore where I am going though too often I find myself rushing about so much, afraid that I might be left behind if I care to find a single moment of peace.And yet this time I can no longer drag myself into the chaos where I chose to live. Cup after cup of brewed coffee could no longer give me the energy I need to finish loads and loads of paperwork that lay upon my desk. I pray to you dear Father. I pray for the peace you have promised us, a peace that transcends all understanding, a peace that never shatters with the most troubling shadows of the night. Silence the worries that lurk upon my mind, the fears that have only driven me to burnout and stress.

In this moment of prayer, let there be silence. Let there be peace. Free me from my fears and calm my shaking nerves. Let me see clearly that which really matters in life. I offer you everything, that in my nothingness I may find all that I need. Your Presence is all that I need O God, and in your Holy Presence there is peace.

Who among you guys are chain smokers? As much as I don’t want anyone to say, “I am!” I’m sure there are a lot out there who live to smoke. It’s quite sad because let’s face it, smoking is really bad for our health! Some have resorted to electronic cigarettes just so they can continue smoking. I don’t know much about them, do you guys have any idea? All I know is that they serve as a substitute to real cigarettes. Our bodies adapt to certain things if we consume to much of them, so we gotta be careful what we get used to. Being addicted to something is never good. Remember guys, moderation is the key. Too much of something is never a good thing. Keep that in mind.

I’ve always wanted to learn how to play drums. I play a bit of piano and guitar, but I’ve never tried my hand on drums. There are so many instruments I want to try, but for some reason, I just stuck to the piano and guitar. Why? Well, maybe coz they’re the cheapest instruments to buy. I wanted to learn drums, but have you see how much stainless steel drums are today? They’re expensive! I don’t want to learn it and not be able to buy it. Practice makes perfect when you’re learning an instrument, so if you can’t afford to buy a set, why attempt to learn, right? But I’m not giving up. If I have enough money to buy myself a drum set, or a violin, then I will start learning.
