I was born the same day as the birthday of one of our heroes, Andres Bonifacio.
I'am such a darling, my mother would always tell me, I'am independent and simple.
I sing, act and write poems and stories.
Someday I will travel with my family.
I'am a pure shout of praise.

season of singleness=single of famine and drought?
Single. If you're going to look at the dictionary, it states "is someone who is not in a relationship or is unmarried". Technically, if you're not yet married you are still single whether someone is already in a relationship. In the past years; way back ten years perhaps, singleness is being valued by most of the people especially us, Filipinos. Singleness is the time to enjoy and it is the time to focus on the things that they want to do. But nowadays, for the most of the people, especially the girls(let's face it) singleness is a curse. But is it really a curse??or is it a blessing??I want to share my "season of singleness" with you.
I want to talk about singleness because God has been dealing with me about this season for this past few weeks. I'm in this season and enjoying it, but sometimes, or there are times that I feel anxious about the couples around me. There was a time when I went to a mall let me quote it "STa. Lucia", I was walking all alone waiting for my friends. While I was walking "alone" I noticed that majority of the people are couples. At the back of my mind I said "hey!you are out of place here"..*sighs and then walk again. I used to wonder why I'm still single and honestly(though it's a shame on my part), I even question myself if I'm beautiful. Is my face tragic? Do I look normal? But as time passed by, it came up to me and God spoke in my heart that the reason why I'm still in this season is because of the three things that I've heard from a youth gathering.
The first reason is, I must understand the value of security. Before, I thought that if someone is in a relationship that person is secured already. That no one can harm him/her and that this is the "forever" that they are pertaining. But as I see people coming from a relationship and hops to another relationship "again", I must say that these people doesn't understand the value of security in the first place. The value of security does not come from the partner but it comes from God. God's assurance and security must be considered first before getting to a relationship. The second thing is holiness. Holiness means setting apart. A lot of people now are very desperate to put 'in-a-relationship' in their facebook's status. And because of the word "instant" it's very easy to have a partner without even knowing the holiness that is also a part of a relationship. People in this generation easily give themselves to their partner. And God reminded me that this is not being holy and pure and I must understand and apply this two in myself first before having a relationship. The third one is having passion for God. Even I before, didn't understand this point but now I do. This point is the answer to my question why I'm still single. The reason why I'm in this season is because God wants me to be more passionate to Him. To get more intimate and deeper. Of course I cannot do that if I'am in a relationship. Whenever I read His word, I know I'm getting closer and intimate with Him. And that's the reason why I should be thankful to Him for giving me the chance to be in this season because I'm getting to know Him more. I know He has someone for me, still I want to be single now because I want to be more passionate for Him. I must and sincerely say that singleness is not a curse, it is truly a blessing.
To all the singles out there, I hope I was able to give you an encouragement for you not to be depressed and question yourself if you're a beautiful person. You are! However, consider this 3 points first and see if the season of singleness is still equals to single of famine and drought? Nah...I don't think so.
