SUMMER SPIRIT


THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE SEEMS UNBEARABLE IT IS NO DOUBT THAT IT IS SUMMER TIME. MOST OF THE SWIMMING POOLS IN THE METROPOLIS WERE FILLED OF PEOPLE WANTED TO SELF BAPTIZED  AND SUBMERGED THEMSELVES TO WATER IN ORDER FOR THEM TO ESCAPE SCORCHING HEAT OF THE SUN RAYS.

IN SEARCH OF A NEARBY SWIMMING POOL TO REFRESH MYSELF, I WENT TO LA MESA ECO PARK IN FAIRVIEW QUEZON CITY. BUT THE POOL CLOSES AT 4 PM. SO I DECIDED NOT TO COME BACK FOR THE FOLLOWING DAY.



I WAS ABOUT TO LEAVE THE PLACE WHEN I DECIDED TO TAKE A WALK.  A LITTLE BIT FARTHER FROM THE PARK THERE WAS A GRASSY AREA, I HEARD A COMMOTION AND LAUGHING. MY CURIOSITY BROUGHT ME TO THIS PLACE WHERE CHILDREN ENJOY THE SPILL OVER WATER FROM THE LA MESA DAM.





I REMEMBER MY YOUTHFUL DAYS WHEN MY FRIENDS AND I ENJOY THE FRESH WATER OF THE LAKE OF RIZAL. WE USED TO DIVE USING THE BRIDGE AS OUR DIVING BOARD. WE ARE NOT MINDING OF THE DANGER IT WILL BRING US. ALL WE KNOW IS THE THRILL AND THE ENJOYMENT IT GIVES US.



THIS SWAMP SERVES AS SUMMER GETAWAYS FOR MOST OF THIS CHILDREN LEAVING
NEARBY. THE SPIRIT OF SUMMER CANNOT BE DENIED FOR THIS FREE SPIRITED INDIVIDUALS. THE SWAMP PROVIDES THE SAME JOY AND HAPPINESS FOUND IN ELEGANT AND CLASSY POOL AROUND THE METROPOLIS.

COMPLETE SET OF FEET

Our feet works harder than what we think of. It brings us to lovely places we never been to. The feet carry our body weight all day out all day in. Though tired but never complained.   I was reminded of the song "Foot Prints On The Sands." Where most of the time the songwriter always noticed that there are two sets of footprints on the sand. Suddenly, the lowest point of his time came, at his amazement, there were only one set of footprints on the sands. He complained, because he thought God leave him. A voice from heaven was heard, "My son I never leave you. Yes, there was only one set of footprints on the sand the reason for that is that I carry you." This true to life story made me think that the complete set of feet is not one but two and we must always think this way.

"SALUBONG" - SEMANA SANTA 2019

I WAS RAISED AS ROMAN CATHOLIC BY MY PARENTS. WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL, I WAS CONVERTED TO BAPTIST. THEN MY JOURNEY AS A BIBLE BELIEVER AND MY CURIOSITY TO KNOW RELIGION BECOMES STRONGER.  I FOUND MYSELF STUDYING THE BIBLE IN BETHANY BAPTIST BIBLE COLLEGE IN DIAN ST. MAKATI CITY. THERE, I FINISHED MY BASIC BIBLE COURSE. THEN I PURSUE MY BACHELOR OF THEOLOGY DEGREE IN CENTRAL BIBLE COLLEGE. I ALSO TOOK SPECIAL COURSES IN PRESBYTERIAN THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY WHERE I FINISH MY SPECIAL COURSE IN THEOLOGY. I HEARD ABOUT "SALUBONG" DURING SEMANA SANTA, AND MAYBE, JUST MAYBE, SEEN THIS DURING MY CHILDHOOD BUT MY MEMORIES HAS BEEN ERASED BY SO MANY NEW INPUTS ENTERED TO MY BRAIN. FROM A REFORMED CATHOLIC VIEW AND FROM WHAT I WITNESSED THIS MORNING, LET ME TELL YOU THE STORY OF THE "SALUBONG".  THE WHOLE CHRISTIANITY WAS SADDENED BY THE NEWS OVER THE DEATH OF JESUS CHRIST THROUGH CRUCIFIXION MUCH MORE MARY THE MOTHER OF JESUS BEAR THE PAIN.
