Wondering and Wandering.

Black Saturday. Preparing for training. With the aid of markers, I am cutting big concepts into smaller chunks of ideas. How do you inspire and empower young people serving at the frontlines?

Working with young people for two decades now has been one of the most fulfilling parts of my life. I started with just listening in small groups and then gradually learned to design programs for them. It is challenging and facilitation requires a lot of energy, patience and creativity. Yesterday I felt refreshed by this encounter with very smart, good hearted and talented young church guys. My last exercise for them was to create a song out of the stories and reflections we had earlier. My only requirement were lyrics. They churned out 3 new songs with melodies in one hour. As a mentor I maybe expected to say that they are beautiful but in reality all of the outputs were beautiful! Ang lalim ng hugot, naproseso talaga ang assignment and the melodies... Ugh! I told them areas that need to be polished so they can record it and sing it in church. I hope they pursue it. Gusto ko tuloy mag lead pa ng workshop of different types of young artists. Underscores the need for careful handling of the process. Just very proud of them. Thanks DGG! I was blessed by you. #youth #music #church #choir #song #songwriting #workshop #heart #beMCC #youngpeople (at Maryknoll's Sister's Convent)

I always battle with thoughts of quitting. I need to process this with a shrink, I guess, before I enter into a long-term commitment with a child of my own or with a lover or form my own company. I have a lil idea what influenced this tendency growing up. I just don't know when it's perfectly okay to quit and when is it unhealthy behavior. Kayo ba ano palagay ninyo dito? Will appreciate ur inputs. Thanks! #life #quotes

Reading the script of the stage play "The Normal Heart" in preparation for tomorrow. I will be introducing the film version at Miriam College during the film showing which is part of their set of LGBT related discussions for the day. Will also briefly and lightly touch on the intersection of SOGIE and HIV and the current situation. Natatawa ako kasi there is this date scene between Ned and Felix and their conversation's tone and the issues it presents are similar to one I had with someone. Ned as an aging activist who is single for a long time is asked out on a date by this gorgeous guy. And all of Ned's insecurity surface. The date happens in Ned's place that's filled with books. Excerpt: Felix: That's quite a library in there. You read all those books? Ned: Why does everybody ask that? Felix: You have a room of 'em, you must want to get asked. Ned: I never thought of it that way. Maybe I do. Thank you... Hahaha. That and the self-pity. Relate! #TheNormalHeart #stageplay #movie #script #play #dating #HIVAIDS #advocacy

Thanks to @ted for this and the many talks we learn from. I wonder how we treat ourselves with kindness when we make mistakes or when we disappoint or when we fail? I wonder if we're as good in forgiving ourselves? #life #quotes #selfhelp

Time to make decisions again. Pikit mata ang letting go and holding on sa panahon na ito. Hingang malalim. Bagay na bagay sa konsepto ng bagong taon. Timing lang ang gagawin ko. Happy New Year! #quotes #ChineseNewYear #life #changes

The tough part about dating is finding someone who has a mind you can fall in love with. It's a combination of curiosity, content, openness and expression in revealing the mind. I'm not saying it's all I need. Of course I want his other muscles to be working and other connections between us to be happening. But this to me is very important. #love #mema #Valentines #pagibig #dating #quotes

#quotes #life #brainpickings Let's start with this. Recognize the value of hardships, heartaches, and struggles in shaping your character, harnessing your skills and strengthening your resolve to succeed. So today we say, "Thank You," to the many challenges that help us become who we are so far and the opportunities that opened because of our little victories over adversaries.
