late night escapades :)


never in my life did i go home at ten-o-clock until now. probably the latest i had been out would be 7pm. but last friday instead of staying home, updating multiply and friendster, i went to my first sectoral meeting in immaculate conception e.rodriguez quezon city for the christ's youth in action sectoral meeting. everything was a totally different experience for me.

i was with a group of people who understands my imperfections but gives me the chance to see god's mercy. it was where i feel most accepted and that despite my two consecutive weeknights of going home late, i knew i was late for the best reasons and purposes.

it made me wonder why i never joined before.

actually it only started out of boredom, that i feel so "unneeded" since i still need to learn the ropes at school and that there were few activities to get involved in. and there he was, jethro my brother who asked nina and me to go with him to cya and try it.

after the session which oriented me to worshipping, to singing songs of god's praises and listening to wonderful life experiences of fellow cyaers, i felt so exhausted. but the thing is, my mind feels so relaxed, so rejuvenated after every session. every bit of math 17, natsci or soc sci, all my academic struggles and even other issues that have been bugging me for so long were all overthrown by how overwhelming my encounter with god is.

the more fun part is that i get to meet people who i feel so comfortable with, in sharing all my problems and all my struggles.

and on tuesday, "someone" is not happy about what is to happen.

tuesday will be my graduation day! the day that i will officially be a full-pleged cyaer. someone who will take the risks of travelling to distant places, of walking at the dark and dingy outskirts of manila to praise God, to spread the good word and most of all to reach out to the underprivileged.

and no matter how hectic my life would be, i know that it became that way for the most noble reason.

and that's all that matters to me.

i've never been happier:)
