Super tense...

During the day, we are so busy preparing our props and designing our costumes. We sacrificed our lunch time just to have a practice in the stage. Its the only way we can use the stage because lots of agencies are already been scheduled.

We took our lunch at past 2:00 in the afternoon. It was fun actually because of the food Bulalo... Anyways, during the contest proper it started at exacly 7:00 in the evening. I know we weren't ready for the competition. I can sense it because everybody under the power of tension. And me too. It was funny because I have been in lots pop dance competition but I still felt this way. We need to jump and jump to warm up our body and to get rid of self nervous.

We prayed for all the participants to have present of mind and no more mental block. The dance was then so fun because we were applauded by the judges. We got the second place. Supposedly, we are the first, I mean the champion, there somebody in the other agency file a petition for us because of just one props we used. It is not a hand props. But its okay, inour hearts we are the champion. And we did have fun.

Another thing is, I was so surprised because I never thought that my mama, my cousin, my sisters and my auntie and my niece will be there too to see me dance. WoW, for the first time in my life they saw me dance a pop. I was so happy.... They only saw me dancing a folk dance. I treat them for a snack then tour them to the City plaza. I was the tour guide.

I still have to get a copy of the video that my friend took during our dance. Sad because he wasnt to make a video of the whole dance because his camera was out of memory space. But its okay, because I saw the vid and was so nice...

It was a very , very good day for me. Only GOD knows my happiness....

Its me then,

These are the pics I wasnt able to download last time. Today We had a dance practice for the Pop dance competition this coming Sunday. The plan for tomorrow is to go to the mall for the costume then proceed to rehearsals again.

Christmas Choral Competition

Hello Friends. I got here a picture when I was in the Hotel in Iligan City for our cultural show there. Actually, I still have more pics but I got problem in downloading them. I only used my phone to send it here. But I will try to do it again nad hope will work.

Anyways, lastnight was the Pamaskong Handog Choral Competition for both Local and National Employees here in our City. We got the third place in the choral and fourth place in best in Costume. I wish I did got the chance to take pics but I was so busy receiving the raffles for draws. All presentations were really intertaining. They are so lovely in gowns. I wish I could wear one of those gowns next year. (Ohhh... how would I look...hhmmmm..)

So, lastnight because of my busyness I forgot to eat my dinner that's why at 2:00 pm, my stomach is knocking. I just had a small pack of a dice hopia to eat. I forgot to have my dinner, I was preparing this giveaways for the judges then prepared the consolation prizes and the Door Prizes. When I got home, that was the time I had my dinner.

During the raffle draw, I was assigned to take note of the winners. And it was hard because I couldnt see the paper, big lights were off. So, instead I used my phone to make lights. 10 lucky persons got the 10 consolation prizes then another 10 got the door prizes. oh, how I wish I win lastnight. hee hee hee... But, its not new to me, as I know I am not lucky when it comes to things like this..so no wonder... But if I win, that would be a BIG SURPRISE to me.. ha ha ha ha.

Well, the program ended at past 12:00 in the evening. After I scort the judges to their rooms for rest, then time for me to go home too. I arrived home at almost 3:00 am.

I need more energy to work everyday. GOD give me the strength I need. GUIDE me always.

The Show...

Our show in Iligan City was quite well. We just got a problem in the stage because it was so small for us to dance. But everything goes well. an Uploaded dance presentations. Lots of people watching the cultural expo. There were two participants; (SInanduloy troupe and Bag-ong Ozamiznon Truope). Supposedly we will have a back to back show in the evening but our trainer told the facilitator that we should present at 3:00 in the afternoon. So, we did.

Then after the show, went back to the hotel where we stay then sweet dreams...... Early in the morning we went back to Tangub.. I was fall asleep while in a travel. I sleep in the bus....

A Glass of Milk

One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through school, found he had only one thin dime left, and he was hungry.

He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house. However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door.

Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, How much do I owe you?

You don't owe me anything, she replied. "Mother has taught us never to accept pay for a kindness."

He said..... "Then I thank you from my heart."

As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but his faith in God and man was strong also.. He had been ready to give up and quit.

Many years later that same young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were baffled! They finally sent her to the big city, where they called in specialists to study her rare disease.

Dr. Howard Kelly was called in for the consultation. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. Immediately he rose and went down the hall of the hospital to her room.

Dressed in his doctor's gown he went in to see her. He recognized her at once.

He went back to the consultation room determined to do his best to save her life. From that day he gave special attention to her case.

After a long struggle, the battle was won.

Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He looked at it, then wrote something on the edge and the bill was sent to her room. She feared to open it, for she was sure it would take The rest of her life to pay for it all. Finally she looked, and something caught her attention on the side of the bill. She read these words.....

"Paid in full with one glass of milk" (Signed) Dr. Howard Kelly.

Tears of joy flooded her eyes as her happy heart prayed: "Thank You, God, that Your love has spread broad through human hearts and hands."

There's a saying which goes something like this: Bread cast on the waters comes back to you. The good deed you do today may benefit you or someone you love at the least expected time. If you never see the deed again at least you will have made the world a better place - And, after all, isn't that what life is all about?

The hardest thing to learn in life is which bridge to cross and which to burn.....

Every now and then
We find a special friend

To such a gentle mind

If you lose your way
Think back on yesterday
Remember me this way

I'll be standing by your side and all you do
And I won't ever leave
As long as you believe
You jus believe

"Letter of an aborted baby"

One Friend

I always thought you were the best;

I guess I always will.

And I felt that we were blessed,

And I feel that way, still.

Sometimes we took the hard road,

But we always saw it through.
Sometimes the world was on our side;
Sometimes it wasn't fair.
Sometimes it gave a helping hand;
SOmetimes we didn't care.
'Cause when we were together,
It made the dream come true.
Someone who understands me,
And knows me inside out.
And helps keep me together,
And believes without a doubt,
That I could move a mountain:
Someone to tell it to.
If I had only one friend left,
I'd want it to be you.

Feels like it is real

I was walking in the road going home, but my feet brought me to this unfamiliar place. Everything was really unknown to me. It’s a place where I never seen before. But I saw my family there, my mother, my father, my sisters and my brothers. I saw them waving their hands to me and asked me to come inside the house. They told me that its our house but its not I am sure of that, I know the shape of our house. I look around; lots of people are walking in the road where I am standing. Lots of kids are playing. They greet me as if they really knew me. But I never had seen their faces before. They are aliens to me. I can see, we have lots of neighbors. I don’t know, I think I was just dreaming. But there is nothing I can do but to believe to my family that this is it.

My mother holds my hands and bring me to the house. As I open the door, everything suddenly vanish, all is gone. And I found myself left alone in this place where everything is dark. I don’t see anything. Very silent. I wonder where the people gone and my family, I cant see them. I just keep standing. I can’t say any word, I am speechless. Suddenly a little bright light appear above. I look at it, it gets bigger and bigger every time it winks, and form like a human. It is really a very, very bright light thing. I saw hands with rays of a light, a body and a face. I can see his hair and eyes but I could not explain his looks. And I was late to notice that it’s GOD trying to talk to me, trying to hold my hands, trying to say something. Its JESUS.

I kneeled and hold his feet tight. I was crying so hard. I asked HIM "Why me?" But GOD didn't answer. I asked HIM again "Lord, why me?" But still I don’t get any reply. I don’t know why my question goes like this. I close my eyes and tell everything I feel at the very moment.

"Lord, I am sorry. Please forgive me if I have sin you. I can't say that I am really a good person, but I am not bad either. I don’t know if I did things that make you happy. But I am so THANKFUL having this chance to see you and talk to you. I know there is someone there who deserves this more than I am. But still you choose me. I don’t know, why me?"

I hold his feet so tight, and I cried to loud and hard. Then I feel a very freezing air blows in me. I am still kneeling, and I keep at that position for long hoping to hear some answer on my question. The light slowly disappears. I don’t want to let it go but it totally gone for a few seconds. I cried and cried and wish that I got the answer. I look around; I noticed that I am in the middle of the forest. I can hear the voices of the birds, the sounds of the trees and the whisper of the wind. I close my eyes and open again and do it many times. And for the last time I open my eyes, I see my face crying out of grief. I don’t know why I see myself like that. What does it mean?

I close my eyes and open again, I see my pillow. Now I am in my bed. I was dreaming. That sorrow of my face woke me up. It was just a dream but it feels like it is real. I still feel the cold in my body as I woke. Its still 2:00 o’clock in the morning. I can’t help myself but to cry at the moment. It is a dream that hit me. I don’t know what it means. One thing I am sure of, that GOD is always there for us, whether you are good or bad. Everyone deserves everything.

Good one

A man woke up early in order to have his morning devotion (prayer) in the lords house (church).He got dressed, set on his way to the lords house.

On his way to the church, the man fell and his clothes got dirty. He got up, brushed himself off, and headed home. At home, he changed his clothes, and was, again, on his way to the lords house. On his way to the church, he fell again and at the same spot! He, again, got up, brushed himself off and headed home. At home he, once again, changed his clothes and was on his way to the lords house (church).On his way to the house of God (church),he met a man holding a lamp. He asked the man of his identity and the man replied 'I saw you fall twice on your way to the house of God(church), so I brought a lamp so I can light your way.
The first man thanked him profusely and the two were on their way to the house of God (church).Once at the house of God (church), the first man asked the man with the lamp to come in and pray with him. The second man refused. The first man asked him a couple more times and, Again, the answer was the same.

The first man asked him why he did not wish to come in and pray. The man replied, 'I am Satan'. The man was shocked at this reply. Satan went on to explain, 'I saw you on your way to the house of God (Church) and it was I who made you fall. When you went home, cleaned yourself and went back on your way to the house of God (church), God forgave all of your sins. I made you fall a second time, and even that did not encourage you to stay home, but rather, you went back on your way to Church.

Because of that, God forgave all the sins of the people of your household. I was afraid if I made you fall one more time, then God will forgive the sins of the people of your village, so I made sure that you reached the house of God (Church) safely.'

So do not let Satan benefit from his actions. Do not put off the good you intended to do as you never know how much reward you might receive from the hardships you encounter while trying to achieve that good. For your righteousness can save your family and nation at large. Do this and see the victory of the lord.

We Belong

I've tried to tell you
So many times this feeling of mine
But it's not that easy
Letting you know
How I love you so

Complete me, you complete me
I've never felt this way
Complete me, you complete me
Like words and melody

Don't you know that we both belong, baby
Don't you know that we will last forever
Don't you know that we both belong
I knew it from the start

Hoping that someday
For that hello, just a simple hello
And maybe tomorrow
I'm the reason you'll smile
And you make my day

Together, you’re my shelter in the pouring rain
I just hope that you will see
You and me we belong

Food for thought

1. I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I amwith you..
2. No man or woman is worth your tears, and the one who is, won't make youcry.
3. Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn'tmean they don't love you with all they have.
4. A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart
5. The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them knowingyou can't have them.
6. Never frown, even when you are sad, because you never know who is fallingin love with your smile.
7. To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be theworld.
8. Don't waste your time on a man/woman, who isn't willing to waste theirtime on you.
9. Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the rightone, so that when we finally meet the person, we will know how to begrateful.
10. Don't cry because it is over, smile because it happened.
11. There's always going to be people that hurt you so what you have to dois keep on trusting and just be more careful about who you trust next timearound.
12. Make yourself a better person and know who you are before you try andknow someone else and expect them to know you.
13. Don't try so hard, the best things come when you least expect them to.
    
    REMEMBER: WHATEVER HAPPENS, HAPPENS FOR A REASON.

Just nothing else to do

Hello Everyone... yeah, its been a long time already I havent updated my blog.... I know, lots of things happen here... But I really got no time to write it one by one because of my busyness...

But anyways, what I am writing here is just what I did this morning... I was looking to my old pictures and then....... suddenly I was like doing this.... getting all my solo pictures and joining them together....

"More about TRUE LOVE!"

What is LOVE? A multimillion dollar question that even genius could not come up with a perfect definition. Nothing make sense until someone feels in love.

"Love is not blind!" It has the power to see what the naked eye cannot. "Love lingers forever". It is an ever fixed mark that looks or tempest and is never shaken. It does not bear with the remover to remove or alters when alteration comes.

Love is Divine, holy. it is great! However, there is no greater LOVE than this; than to lay down ones life for HIS friends.

A true great love can bear the pain and longitude of waiting even if it takes forever. When confused about love, follow your heart. It may not always be right, but you will have the memories to make you smile. If your head tells you one thing and your heart tells you another thing, before you decide, you should first think whether you have a better head or heart. It's okay to kiss a fool or let a fool kiss you but never let a kiss fool you.

Don't find love; let it find you. That's the way it's called falling in love because you can't force yourself to fall, you just do fall. Never be ashamed to show love when you feel it, because one day you might realize that love is already afraid to show itself to you. To love someone is to have courage to walk away and let go the other one who wishes to be free, no matter how much it hurts.

Never say "I LOVE YOU" when you don't even care. Never talk about feelings if they aren't there. Never touch a heart if you mean to break it. Never look in the eyes if all you have to say is a lie. And never say "HELLO" if you mean to say "GOODBYE". Love is like a butterfly. The more you chase it, the more it eludes you. But if you let it fly, it will come to you when you least expect it. On the course of love, people must teach their hearts to be brave enough to hold on when things go wrong. Most relationships are like traffic signs - One way, two way, do not enter, slippery when wet, no U turn, no left turn, but what I like most is give way

Words and hearts should be handled with care for once words were spoken and hearts were broken, its the hardest things to repair. The simplest pick-up lines don't have so many words. All I need is "I", for me to say: "LOVE", for me to share it; and "YOU", for me to give it. Don't shed your tears to someone who hurts you. Don't feel sorry if you fall when you tried your best. Someone's out there who are more deserving for your time and love. If I tell you I LOVE YOU, you shouldn't wonder why, or now, or since, or for how long because I won't have a single answer except to tell you again.

In the game of love, it doesn't really matter who wins or who losses, what's important is that you know when to hold on and when to let go. It's the presence of love that makes us want to live. if your heart is broken by the time you truly love, don't let go of the love for the person, but let go of the person. You'll never know love maybe sweeter the second time around. It's hard to find true love 'cause people are too caught up looking for the perfect person. True love is not finding the perfect person but being perfect to someone else. Love knows no reasons. Love knows no lies. love deletes all reasons. Love has no eyes, but love is not blind. It can see but just doesn't mind. We are sometimes afraid to say "I LOVE YOU" instead we say "I MISS YOU" but often misunderstood; Leaving the one's we love on which we don't realize that they are also feeling the same way we do.

LOVE, not because the person is the only one but because the person is the one you are willing to give up everything because it's worth fighting for. It's hard to pretend that you don't love someone when you really do. Love is not how you forget rather how you forgive. It is not how you listen but how you understand, not by what you say but what you do and not by what you receive but what you give. True love wants his/her happiness. If you love someone, don’t hold back, never hide your feelings, never economize your love and most of all, never take the person you love for granted because you may never know what you have when it is gone.

Sometimes we think that loving someone is such a risky thing. How else would you win if you don’t take chances? You don’t lose by giving you lose by holding back. Never try to impress someone for him/her to fall in love with you, ‘cause when you do, you will keep the standard for the rest of your life. Never rush in love, it never runs out. Let love be the one to look for you so that when you start to fall, you’ll always know that your feelings are sure. Yes, it drives you crazy, it makes you mad, jealous, and sad and even caused you sleepless nights, it breaks your heart. Come to think of it, it’s healthy to fall in love.

True love is not when the heart beats faster or even faster but when it beats no more and the love is still there. If you have a reason why you love a person, you are using your mind. But if you love a person with no reason at all, then, you are using your heart.

Love is not a word to say when you feel guilty or the right word to say when you like a person. But love really matter when you share your thoughts, mind and heart. How do I say goodbye to someone I never had? Why do tears fall for someone who was really never mine? Why do I miss someone I was never with? Why do I love someone whose love was never truly mine?

Don’t be too good – I might miss you!
Don’t be too caring – I might like you!
Don’t be too sweet – I might fall!

The real Light

The first one was my letter to GOD dated February 12, 1998, when I was 13 years young and two days before Valentines Day. Then the second one was my another letter to GOD dated August 19, 1999. When I was 15 years youngs.....

*****************************************************************

Dear GOD,

Before anything else, I should have greet you first in your wonderful home a very warmth "Hello".
Father I send this letter because I want to ask for your forgiveness. I am sorry for all the bad things I have done. And Lord I wish that you will guide me always. Protect me from evil.
take me away from temptation. And Lord watch me everyday and everynight. and help me in my studies.
Lord, one of my greatest wish is to have a pet-friend, a friendly, big, white bird. But I know Lord its so rare to have this kind of pet today. Father God if this will come true, this would be the happiest moment in my life ever and I wont forget this day. But Lord I wont hope to much for this because I really dont know what would be your decision. But if ever this wont come true, can I ask for another one as a substitute for the first one? My other wish is to learn karate so that I can protect myself, my family, my cousins and my friends.
Lord I have lots of wishes and I know you know it already. But I wont hope to much on this. I am afraid to fail because I know I know its impossible. But Lord that's why I am telling this to you because I know when it comes to you there is no impossible. You can do everything because you are so powerful. No one in this world can defeat you.
Father GOD, once again, I am sorry for all my sins. I pray for those bad people. Let them change and repent then let them follow the good way of life. And also for those children who doesn't feel the love and care of their parents, Lord I pray for them and to their parents to feel in their hearts the worthyness of their children. And that they should love them and let their children feel the love and care from the parents.
Lord I still have many things to tell youbut Im out of paper. And I think I need to stop now because I already asked many things from you.
Lord don't leave me. Live in my heart now and forever.


Your daughter,
Eugielene L. Tulin

My plan.........

Hello everybody.... Peace be with us always...

Today, I am collecting stories and saving it in my email. Its been awhile I havent read a stories. And I miss this things.... Well, I am planning to make a story at my own... or something like an essay... The title would be "1 devided by 3". I choose this title instead of "3 devided 1" because I guess this is best suits to my story later.... I know this would take long time to finish... But I try to do my best to finish this earlier (not so fast)........

Making stories is not easy... the story should coming from your heart... or it could be your feelings.... SOme writer make a story because they have their inspiration......

anyways...
GOD BLESS US....

Moments in Cebu

True Love

..

..

..

True love is when you

shed a tear and still want

him. It's when he ignores

you and you still love

him. It's when he loves

another but you still smile

and say "I'm happy for you."

When all you really

do is CRY.... and CRY.

Symbols of Christmas in Our City

Hello, Philippines and Hello World. Welcome to my blog once again.........................................................................................


Hello guys... Sorry for taking so long to update my blog. As you can see, I am busy in my dance practices because we have lots of shows. Plus we hosted a dance workshop for teachers this year. Which makes me really feel so tired because its not easy to demostrate a dance to hundreds of peoples... But not only that, you know this people are not all good dancers. So, it takes time before they can perfectly get the steps..... ANd its tired to demonstrate a step over and over again. But its okay, because this is where I am happy... I just Apologized for rarely visit and update my blog. I know, some of you guys are really wants to grab my newest photos..... Escpecially during our shows... I f you to grab a pic.. just add me in your friendster.. eugie_3784@yahoo.com.. Or, I have my flicker in this blog... its at the left side....

Ohh... My christmas was really very fun for me.... I got a gift from my boss. Then I received a leeter from my best friend in Manila. Finally, she remember me.

Then the picture is what you can see in our City Plaza. This is built by the different agencies in Tangub City. Each agency compose of a bonafide employees in Tangub. They build this in their own imagination. One of the concept criteria is that, each symbols must have a Star, Christmas tree and Belen....

I took this picture the night of January 01. Yeah, A new year..... I turn around the plaza just to take picture. And guess what, I am alone at this time. I finish taking picture at almost 12 in the evening.... THat I was home at 1:30 am. It was not purely a picture taking because I saw my old friends. Then we're talking about our happenings and achievements.
