well, I have lot of things to share but due to busyness and no time to type/write those experiences, I decide to reserve and tell those stories on the other day if I will be seen a free and perfect time for it to share. Why i should declare a hiatus? Because of these reasons:
1. TIME- nauubusan na po ako ng oras. Now I feel the essence of being an adult. Before when I was just a young boy, I had more time to play, went to my friends’ houses and had a road trip. But now I really feel that I’m not a child anymore. If I would not manage my time, I will fall in all my responsibilities and eventually be possible not to attain all my goals.
2. FOCUS - This is what I want to improve in my life. I believe that the more focus the person is, the more he is effective. I also realize that writing is not my main gift. Even it can be connected with teaching and leading but i still desire to be more effective in one talent. Maybe, that is leading people. Even I’ve been already a leader, before I believed that people don’t like me but only these last months I noticed that I indeed have leadership ability and I have so much influence. I thought I can’t lead but through friends and mentors I’ve talked, they say that I can lead.. I have the potential to be a history maker. Then, I tried. After a months it bears. Now, I am focusing myself in loving and voluntarily serving people.
3. STUDIES - I failed the qualifying exam of our college. It seems not so much bad, and not so much good. Sabi ng ng isang professor, “Success can tell you a little.. but failure can teach you a lot..” That’s why I failed a lot and I’ve learned a lot! In everything I’m doing, it always remind me that I’m not intelligent! Yes, maybe other people are giving praise to me and they say I’m excellent but I’m always relying to God and HIS works. If I will only lean on my own understanding, I would be frustrated! But all the wisdom and knowledge I have is from the LORD. At the same time, I learned to give time to my studies. More time for it. Sometimes, I have more time serving other people, I give more effort in my extracurriculars’ activities and then on the other side of it, I have forgotten my studies. In all of this, the bottom line, I want to strive more in terms of my academic matters.
4. MORE TIME with JESUS - One of the best reason I could give is about me and JESUS- my MASTER, my LORD, SAVIOR and BEST FRIEND. He a jealous MASTER. He wants everyone to talk to HIM 24/7. He wants everybody to be connected with HIM every seconds of our lives. If I will be giving up this blog for HIM, I know He will return a smile to me. I have no desire beyond my purposes. Those are to love Jesus with all of my being and to love people as I love my self. The more I be with Jesus, the more I feel not tired even there are so many tasks I should be accomplished. He is faithful indeed! …and with HIM, you will find rest! I think if I would have more free time, I will be also have more chances to date my BEST FRIEND.
These are the reasons of the remarkable hiatus of Ginoong Lapis in 2008. I hope everybody would understand. But take note, it doesn’t mean that I will totally leave my blog area, tambayan and “pencilcase”. Of course, writing is also my passion but I should be focused on my main own love. After my return, I’m hoping to share more experiences and lessons to all those who view and read this “pencilcase” of mine. Comment area is always open, you can still drop your opinions, suggestions or views on my posts I posted. God bless you all! Always smile! and devote yourselves to Christ!
