LCDC
Yup i was there! LCDC 2003 The Real Revolution: Conquer Transform Claim for Christ! Last October 20-26, i directed LCDC. I learned a few things. I thought LCDC would be work, work and more work for me but actually i enjoyed it. God blessed me with a wonderful exec, great set of camp staff, "good" campers. He taught me that He was the real Over-All Director and i was just His instrument. He is the source of all my strength and wisdom. He also reassured us that he is the Great Provider. There were no major problems in LCDC, just major lessons and major changes in the lives of each person in it. Praise God!

Great Wonders
Last semester, i was so busy. I was preoccupied by alot of things on top of my academics. I was very much involved with planning LCDC, I was busy with SVCF, I was also busy with the church youth band and ISCF and so the list goes. There were even times when I wasn't able to attend to some of my studies. Just when I thought that it was my worst semester in college, it turned out to be the best since my first sem in UP. I was really overjoyed because i wasn't expecting it. naka-CS ako finally! Praise God!!!


eto na ung...

Fire! FIRE! fIRE! FiRE! FIrE! FIRe! FIRE!!!
Brownout kagabi. So kinailangan naming gumamit ng kandila para magkailaw ang aming bahay. ok diba, romantic...NOT! hahaha! boinks! So kumuha ako ng isang kandila at ako'y pumasok na sa aking kwarto. I placed the candle at my shelf...way high above so it will light the whole room (I can hear the song playing"...it is better to light just one little candle than to stumble in the dark...") I looked and checked if it was near any books. nope it wasn't near the books, won't do any harm. WRONG! I then laid down on my bed and ako'y nagmunimuni. I checked on the candle once in a while. it was still ok. munimunimuni. then i fell asleep. ngooooork! Nagising na lang ako... nasusunog na ang shelf ko! my shelf is on fire!!! fuego es mi... (ummm di pala ako marunong magspanish!) i tried to control the fire. Buti na lang my sister heard me and she brought water to quench the fire. In matter of minutes napatay na namin ang FIRE. at basa na ang aking room. miraculously, my books were not burned. well ok some of the spines were but not completely burned. No significant object, like my wallet or notebooks, were burned. I realized that the candle holder was plastic and when the candle was already too short it burned the candle holder. nagdrip yung plastic at kumalat yung apoy, then napunta pa sa pabango (na flammable din) and the fire grew from there.

Not so serious reflections regarding the incident
- Never use plastic candle holders
- Never sleep or go in a sleep conducive position when you have a candle burning
- There are times when we need to disagree with Points of Grace (Keep The Candle Burning)
- I love to sleep
- We can use flashlights or lamps instead of candles
- Liwanag is the best brand of canldles (i wasn't paid to advertise this. it's a matter of opinion.)
- i don't like brownouts except when the sky is clear and i can see the stars clearly.
- Never think that it can happen to you
- plastic is plastic. it burns. it doesn't smell nice when it's burning.
- natrauma ako. di muna ako matutulog sa kwarto kasi ...

Serious Reflections about the incident
- I am grateful to God for this life that He gave me. I'm still alive! Pwedeng hindi na ako nagising at nasama na ako sa bahay na nasunog. Thank you talaga po Lord na ginising niyo po ako at wala gaanong nangyari sa amin.
- I needed a wake up call. magising sa mga realities ng buhay.
- God is so good!
- I love my sister! Totoo.
