What do you do when you're not in the mood...

*disclaimer: the girl in the photo is not me nor was it taken by me.

A Good Day.

My dad was ecstatic. My mom was sad. No, melancholic. I was both.

At this age, I didn't expect to feel like such a kid with glee upon seeing what the whole world has been waiting for. Kinda like waiting for a baby to arrive. My dad was just surfing channels and happened to choose CNN. A few seconds after he switched, there it was - the white smoke. We now have a new Pope.

It felt weird half-wanting to see the new one and half-wanting to see PJPII again come out of the window. Again, as I said, I was both.

Much has been said about Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger. But this is what I have to share...

There's this guy named Dr. Scott Hahn, then a Protestant, who loved a certain book that moved him so much, written by someone who had so much profound insights about God. He thought the book was written by a Protestant too.

He converted to Catholicism after finding out that it was written by a Catholic Priest. Dr. Scott Hahn is now an exceptionally popular speaker and professor and has delivered numerous, passionate talks with topics regarding the Scriptures and the Catholic faith.

The author of the book that he read - then Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger.

We have a new Pope. May God Bless him with a fruitful life and may the Holy Spirit guide him in his journey.

To me from jen

To you who yearn intensely for that love who will sweep you off your feet, and be your sweet, wonderful companion unlike any other in this lifetime, rest assured that Heaven hears your prayers.

Just because your beloved is not with you yet at this moment does not mean the Universe is ignoring your pleas and cries for that someone to hold you tight at night... that delicious lover in whose presence shall your thirst for love be quenched.

No matter how long it has been since you last felt alive in someone’s arms, or how much of your Earth time has passed since you began beseeching for the beloved to be with you, take heart in knowing that what is truly yours is always with you. No matter the distance between you and your Twin Flame, that which is a part of you is within you always and forever.

You may not see them with your physical eyes as of this moment, may not taste their gentle kiss on your lips, but close your eyes and you will feel them. Place your hand upon your heart and there they are in each beat that announces the continuance of life within your body. Drift off to sleep, and you will see them in your dreams, where the limits of this world no longer exist and you can do as you wish... kiss and embrace to no end... join as one for all you want.

Life goes way, way beyond that which meets the eye, dear ones. Be comforted in knowing that which you perceive as your only reality is but a speck of a much bigger one in which all is one, and you and your beloved are forever entwined.

Go in peace and in love in all your daily activities, and because you are connected to the Source of All That Is as you lovingly go about your life, the day is not far away when that who is one with you always shall finally stand before you and be with you... in flesh and blood and bone, in this reality.

And when that day comes, think yourself not unworthy of such a great love only yearned for once upon a time, lest you push away that which you so fervently prayed for not too long ago.

Remember your worthiness and Divinity always, dear ones. Heaven never fails to hear you...

Something's Missing...

I'll give John Mayer a hug for coming up with a song like this... hay...

I'm not alone, I wish I was.
Cause then I'd know, I was down because
I couldn't find, a friend around
To love me like, they do right now.
They do right now.

I'm dizzy from the shopping malls
I searched for joy, but I bought it all
It doesn't help the hunger pains
and a thirst I'd have to drown first to ever satiate

Something's missing
And I don't know how to fix it
something's missing
And I don't know what it is
At all

When autumn comes, it doesnt ask.
It just walks in, where it left you last.
And you never know, when it starts
Until there's fog inside the glass around your summer heart:

Something's missing
And I don't know how to fix it
something's missing
And I don't know what it is
At all

I can't be sure that this state of mind, is not of my own design
I wish there was an over the counter test, for loneliness.
For loneliness like this.

Something's missing
And I don't know how to fix it
Something's missing
And I don't know what it is
No I don't know what it is
Something's different
And i don't know what it is
No I don't know what it is

Friends -check- Money -check-
A well slept -check- Opposite sex -check- Guitar -check- Microphone -check- Messages waiting for me, when i come home -check-

How come everything I think I need, always comes with batteries
What do you think it means

How come everything I think I need, always comes with batteries
What do you think it means

- Something's Missing by John Mayer

When Pope john Paul II died...

There's an old belief that when someone dies on a Saturday, he goes straight to heaven because on Saturdays the gates of heaven are open.

And if someone dies on a first saturday of the month, he's more lucky because the Blessed Virgin Mary will be the one to fetch and accompany that person to the gates of heaven.

April 2 is the feast day of the Divine Mercy, on which PJPII was a devotee.

Pope John Paul II died on the First Saturday of the month, the feast of The Divine Mercy...

Ain't it beautiful?
