RIYO's Daily Journey of life

January 4, 2010

 Ngayong araw nakilala ko ang mahiwagang fax machine. haha.. Di ko akalain na mahaba haba din ang pagsasamahan naming mga sandali.

CHECKING IN TODAY

A minister passing through his church
in the middle of the day,
Decided to pause by the altar
and see who had come to pray.

Just then the back door opened,
a man came down the aisle,
The minister frowned as he saw
the man hadn't shaved in a while.

His shirt was kinda shabby
and his coat was worn and frayed,
the man knelt, he bowed his head,
Then rose and walked away.

In the days that followed,
each noon time came this chap,
each time he knelt just for a moment,
A lunch pail in his lap.

Well, the minister's suspicions grew,
with robbery a main fear,
He decided to stop the man and ask him,
"What are you doing here?"

The old man said, he worked down the road.
Lunch was half an hour.
Lunchtime was his prayer time,
For finding strength and power.

"I stay only moments, see,
because the factory is so far away;
as I kneel here talking to the Lord,
This is kinda what I say:

"I JUST CAME AGAIN TO TELL YOU, LORD,
HOW HAPPY I'VE BEEN,
SINCE WE FOUND EACH OTHER'S FRIENDSHIP
AND YOU TOOK AWAY MY SIN.
DON'T KNOW MUCH OF HOW TO PRAY,
BUT I THINK ABOUT YOU EVERYDAY.
SO, JESUS, THIS IS JIM
CHECKING IN TODAY."

The minister feeling foolish,
told Jim, that was fine.
He told the man he was welcome
To come and pray just anytime.

Time to go, Jim smiled, said "Thanks."
He hurried to the door.
The minister knelt at the altar,
he'd never done it before.

His cold heart melted, warmed with love,
and met with Jesus there.
As the tears flowed, in his heart,
he repeated old Jim's prayer:

"I JUST CAME AGAIN TO TELL YOU, LORD,
HOW HAPPY I'VE BEEN,
SINCE WE FOUND EACH OTHER'S FRIENDSHIP
AND YOU TOOK AWAY MY SIN.
I DON'T KNOW MUCH OF HOW TO PRAY, BUT I
THINK ABOUT YOU EVERYDAY.
SO, JESUS, THIS IS ME CHECKING IN TODAY."

Past noon one day, the minister noticed
that old Jim hadn't come.
As more days passed without Jim,
he began to worry some.

At the factory, he asked about him,
learning he was ill.
The hospital staff was worried,
But he'd given them a thrill.

The week that Jim was with them,
Brought changes in the ward.
His smiles, a joy contagious.
Changed people, were his reward.

The head nurse couldn't understand
why Jim was so glad,
when no flowers, calls or cards came,
Not a visitor he had.

The minister stayed by his bed,
He voiced the nurse's concern:
No friends came to show they cared.
He had nowhere to turn.

Looking surprised, old Jim spoke
up and with a winsome smile;
"the nurse is wrong, she couldn't know,
that in here all the while everyday at noon
He's here, a dear friend of mine, you see,
He sits right down, takes my hand,
Leans over and says to me:

"I JUST CAME AGAIN TO TELL YOU, JIM,
HOW HAPPY I HAVE BEEN,
SINCE WE FOUND THIS FRIENDSHIP,
AND I TOOK AWAY YOUR SIN.
ALWAYS LOVE TO HEAR YOU PRAY,
I THINK ABOUT YOU EACH DAY,
AND SO JIM, THIS IS JESUS
CHECKING IN TODAY."

If this blesses you, pass it on .
Many people will walk in and out of your life,
but only true friends will leave
footprints in your heart.

May God hold you in the palm of His hand
and Angels watch over
Please pass this page on to your friends or loved ones.
This is too good not to share -

So this is me .... Just Checking In
Love to see you smile

 Xoxo,

RIYO's Daily Journey of life

 

January 2, 2010

Welcome 2010

Bagong taon ay magbagong buhay. Sikat na linya ng isang kantang pamasko. Truly, God has given us another year to make up with the past and be a better person.

Balik practicum ako! J Namiss ko ng husto ang Life Change Recovery Center. Ang mga nurses at staff, ang nagbubukas ng gate samen tuwing umaga, at most specially ang mga residents.

Ang highlight ng araw ko ay ang muling panunuod ng “Matilda”. I really missed it. Last time kong napanuod yan ay elementary days pa. Waw.. ganun na pala katagal. Very classic ang story ng Matilda. Let me share you the plot of one of my favorite film during my childhood. It reminisce many childhood memories with my “kababatas” and my struggling life as elementary student.

Matilda plot summary

 

The movie starts off when Matilda is a baby. She is very smart, and by age three has read everything in the house and wants nothing more than a book. So she starts going to the library and increasing her brainpower. Meanwhile at home, her parents are horrible and don't pay her any attention. Every time her father does something bad, she plays a trick on him (supergluing his hat to his head, putting bleach in his hair tonic). Her father is also a crooked used car salesman, and is being watched by two cops who pose as speedboat salesmen and videotape the house from across the street.

Things start to look better for Matilda after her father meets Agatha Trunchbull, a headmistress of a local school, and he enrolls Matilda in school there. But the Trunchbull is a horrible woman (and an ex-Olympian, famous for shotput, javelin, and hammer throw), who disciplines her students by throwing them out of windows, over the fence, making them eat huge chocolate cakes, and putting them in the chokey. All the students fear the Trunchbull.

As horrible as the Trunchbull is, that's how wonderful Miss Honey, Matilda's classroom teacher, is. All the kids adore her. She recognizes right away that Matilda is a very smart child, and, after an unsuccessful meeting with Matilda's parents, gives Matilda work from the upper grades to do. But Miss Honey has a terrible secret--her mother died when she was a baby, and her father "killed himself" when she was five, but not before her father's stepsister had come to live with them, and Miss Honey was brought up by a horrible horrible woman--Miss Trunchbull.

One day when the Trunchbull is teaching Matilda's class, her friend Lavender puts a newt in the Trunchbull's waterglass. When the Trunchbull is particularily mean to Matilda, she makes the glass tip over with her "special powers" in her eyes. Miss Honey knows Matilda is very sweet but also very lonely, and takes her home for tea when Matilda tries to explain her powers. They form a very special bond, and Miss Honey tells Matilda about growing up with the Trunchbull, and how she had to escape and leave her treasures behind in the house. Matilda decides they need to go and rescue her doll, but the Trunchbull comes home and nearly catches them. Miss Honey makes Matilda promise never to go back in there, but she uses her powers and, from the roof, rescues Miss Honey's doll and creates some superstitious havoc for the Trunchbull at the same time.

Meanwhile, the policemen are ready to make a move on Matilda's dad. Matilda buys her father some time by stealing their video tape after making their car roll down the street.

When the Trunchbull realizes she's been tricked, due to the hair ribbon left outside her house, she's ready to put Matilda away in the chokey for life. But Matilda hatches another plan, and convinces the Trunchbull that Miss Honey's father, Magnus, is threatening her from the grave. The Trunchbull gets scared, runs away (covered in food from the contents of all the students' lunches), and everyone is happy.

Miss Honey moves back into her childhood home, and becomes the new headmistress of the school. After Matilda's parents and brother escape the police by moving to Guam, Miss Honey adopts Matilda and all is well in the world.

 

Nung bata ako eto yung kinakainggitan ko kay Matilda, ang pagiging bookworm at pagkakaroon ng photographic memory. Grabe.. i can conquer the world with that great intelligence. haha :)

Masaya ang practicum ko sa LCRC so far. Nabigla ako ng ma-on the spot facilitator ako sa activity na pinangalanan kong “Picture perfect”. Ang saya ng activity kasi nailabas ng mga residents ang kanilang “creative juices”. Mas lalo pang naging exciting ang game dahil may putting tabing sa gitna para di magsilipan ang dalawang grupo.

 

Picture perfect

Mga picture perfect moments with my girlfriends! :)

I am happy being with them.

Go! Gurlfriends!

yakap at halik,

Thanksgiving for God-Given Joys

"You have turned my mourning into dancing for me;

You have put off my sackcloth

and girded me with gladness,

To the end that my tongue

and my heart

and everything glorious within me

may sing praise to You

and not be silent.

O Lord my God,

I will give thanks to You forever."

(Psalm 30:11-12, AMP)

This favorite Scripture resounds with rejoicing and thanksgiving to the Lord, who can redeem our sorrows and truly transform mourning into dancing. Does such a great God not deserve our appreciation, at Thanksgiving and always? Oh He really deserves it and more! :)

For today Sir Al gather us and requested us to create blogs about our daily experiences at Life Change Recovery Center. He gave us standard introduction for each entry. Personally, I'm not used in making blogs and sharing my thoughts in the net. So I have hard times doing my blog entries. I site some useful info about the nature of blog. 

What's a blog?

A blog is a personal diary. A daily pulpit. A collaborative space. A political soapbox. A breaking-news outlet. A collection of links. Your own private thoughts. Memos to the world.

 

Your blog is whatever you want it to be. There are millions of them, in all shapes and sizes, and there are no real rules.

In simple terms, a blog is a web site, where you write stuff on an ongoing basis. New stuff shows up at the top, so your visitors can read what's new. Then they comment on it or link to it or email you. Or not.

xoxo,

R.I.Y.O

Tell of All His Wonderful Works

¹Oh give thanks to the LORD; call upon his name;

Make known his deeds among the peoples!

²Sing to him, sing praises to him;

Tell of all his wondrous works!

~Psalm 105~

It’s always good to begin the day with a thanksgiving unto God. Thanking Him for the blessing of new life each morning.

This week ay tinatawag na "no theme week" na ibig sabihin we can facilitate any activity that we want. Kaya nag'usap usap kaming mga practicum students para mag'came up ng fun- filled games and activities na magugustuhan ng mga residents. Si Lala at Mary ang nanguna sa pagpapa'facilitate sa morning session with the residents. Una muna ay acquiantance game na tinatawag na "Pik Pak Boom". We chose this game para makilalang lubusan ng mga resident’ ang mga bagong practicum students from Polytechnic University of the Philippines. Nag'enjoy ako sa laro dahil nakasalamuha ko ang mga residents na matagal ko ding makakasama sa pag'stay ko sa LCRC. Iba iba ang mga kalagayan ng mga residents; may mga addiction, behavioral at psychiatric cases. I'm Happy :) kasi nakapag'laid na ako ng good rapport sa kanila.

Next activity ay ang "Captain and the Ship" na pinangunahan ni Lala. This activity enables the residents to appreciate the people around them. As the saying goes "Nobody is an island". We lived to have fellowship with one another and enjoyed each other company. I remember a famous quotation from a recent book I read.

“How we spend our time on earth, the kind of relationships we build, is vastly more important than we can know.”

 ~(George Ritchie, NDE experiencer and author of Return from Tomorrow)

The activity tells us that it is important to built good and lasting relationship with others. Life would be more happier and meaningful if you shared your moments with others.

Pagkatapos ng morning session it's time to have a break and eat our yummy lunch. Then we proceed for another brainstorming for the afternoon session. I belong to the afternoon group kaya we prepare rhe necessary materials for our game. Our games is mostly for teambuilding and improving cooperation of the participants. Masaya kasi maglaro ng sama sama at nagtutulungan.

pagkatapos ng lahat ng mga ginawa namin.. it's evaluation time with Sir Al. He gave us valuable inputs on how to improve our facilitation skills. He told us that we have the potential and our tasked is to let it grow...

xoxo,
