Igang!

Dear Igang,
Pwede ka muhawa sa akong atubangan?
Dili man sa ingon,
Pero ang imong kainit makalipong!

Mukaon ta kog ice cream,
Pero nasayang ra,
Kay pag punit palang naglanay na,
Ingon ana gyud diay ka kainit ba?

Wound With G.D.A.E.

First of all if you're familiar with JunCurryAhn, this is not his blog. Secondly, "Wound" is pronounced with a 'wow' not a 'wu.' Now that's cleared up let's get it on! ;D

This dude's violin skills make you want to learn violin the first time you ever hear him play. Most of his videos are covers, but trust me listening to them is all worth it. Some of his cover's can make your heart drop too.

Oh yeah, don't judge this dude after listening to just a few of his song covers. Some of us tend to do that. xD

If I remember correctly, the first time I've checked out this channel was when i was searching for Christmas covers and, poof! His channel popped up!

O Holy Night - JunCurryAhn


Yeah I know it's not Christmas season today, but hey! Try listen to it :)
P.S., Gotta love his hat and gloves! hahaha

Here is another one!

Feliz Navidad - JunCurryAhn


Oh yeah! You're free to dance while listening to this one! Just make sure no ones watching ;D

By the way, he's not only into Christmas songs. Check out his other covers. I'm pretty sure a lot of us are familiar with these songs.

Christina Perri - A Thousand Years - JunCurryAhn


I posted this once in Facebook, and it attracted a lot of comments. Some even talked implicitly about their wedding. hahaha.

My Heart Will Go On - JunCurryAhn


Ahh..One of my most favorite cover pieces of JunCurryAhn. This song is quite old, dating back to the first Titanic movie (not the 3D one folks!). Try listening to it :)

Jason Mraz - Lucky - JunCurryAhn


His cover on Jason Mraz's Lucky. Oh yeah, he got his video edited twin to play too!

No cover is complete with a cover of Jerry C's Cannon Rock! Well, JunCurryAhn didn't fail to give us that!

Jerry C - Cannon Rock - JunCurryAhn


Gotta like his electric violin ;)

Oh yeah! Before I go if your asking why I entitled this post as "Wound with G.D.A.E." well G.D.A.E. isn't really an acronym but the arrangement of the strings of the violin.

I hope you liked his covers! Well I liked 'em!
Don't forget to check out his YouTube Channel and Subscribe!



That's all dudes and dudettes! 'Till next time :)

God bless ya! ;D

Oh yeah! They're actually hot-linked as my site pages if you haven't noticed ;))

Saying Sorry

Saying sorry might be easy,
Saying it honestly can be tricky.
Saying sorry might be simple,
Saying it heartily can be painful.

Saying sorry means acceptance.
Saying it needs repentance.
Saying sorry means letting go,
Saying it may mean sorrow.

But, when forgiveness is gained,
That burden will pass away.
Realizing that you have mistaken,
Pray that you'll never do it again.

-A.R.L.

Payong sa Kaigang

Ka igang ba!
Samot na dinhi sa amoa.
Bisan unsaog pagsagyod sa pay-pay,
Ang kainit di dyud makalipay.

Gusto ta ka mukaon,
Pero ang kainit makalipong.
Alimo-ot dyud kaayo dinhi,
Ning samot pag labay nimo danhi.

Tanan tawo alimo-ot og dagway.
Pati nawong sa mga gwapa,
Ikaw magmahay,
Tungod sa kainit nga dili dyud diyotay.

Puslan dyud ang payong,
Maong sa mga wala pa niani,
Pagpalit na,
Kay pramis! Perti dyung puslana.

Ang adlaw ga baga-baga,
Murag ang gugma ko para sa imoha.
But-an, malindog ug putli,
Sagulan pa dyud as imong makalanay nga ngisi.

Ni abot na pud ta ani!
Undangon na ni nato kay muta-as pa.
Ang ka alimo-ot sa akong gibati.
Na tungod sa kaigang makawalag nada.

Sa kaigang ug kainit,
Kita na magpalit.
Ug payong na bahalag di mahal,
Basta sa kaigang makatambal.

Retardly Daydreaming?!

Pretty sure that almost all of us have experienced this kind of situation. You're walking minding your own business and then suddenly your brain reminds you of something funny, then you smile. Worst part, you suddenly burst out in laughter!

Epic!

How 'bout daydreaming! Well, honestly I am one frequent customer when it comes to this business and just like the previous one you tend to show some teeth! Best part is, you sometimes act what you're doing in your dream. Hey! A little bit of DYK (Did You Know).

Did you know?

• A person who daydreams tend to be more creative and intellectual. 
• It is a sign of a highly active brain.

 

Even in humanistic psychology, there are numerous examples of people in creative or artistic careers, such as composers, novelists and filmmakers, developing new ideas through daydreaming. Similarly, research scientists, mathematicians have developed new ideas by daydreaming about their subject areas.

Haha! I'm no Einstein, but it looks like the odds are all on me. And it is (i think) a good exercise for your brain. ;D


Experienced this kind of situation? When was the last time this thing occurred to you? Try remembering it and yeap! Trust me, you do look like a complete retard, but hey! I feel your pain and it's kinda fun if you think about it. Oh yeah! The odds are all on us! ahahaha xD

Courage To Say It

It's hard for me to say,
What I really feel for you.
Kept this a secret to this day,
How I wished you knew.

I have admired you,
Without you even knowing.
The thought of losing you,
Is one painful burden.

I feel like a coward,
Not being able to say.
To say what I feel for you,
Haunting me, to this day.

I pray the time will come,
That courage will take over me.
To say what I feel for you,
Even if you don't end up with me.

I have never felt like this,
Seeking the courage to say it.
An emotion that I've never sought,
A feeling that I have never thought.

Whether you end up with me or not,
Whether I get the courage to say it.
To know a person as amazing as you,
Makes everything well worth it.

-A.R.L.

A Kid That Looks Like Me?!

Well, I'm just meddling around the internet. Doing my usual job - article curation until I stumbled on a picture of a worried and sad looking child. I then posted it up on facebook.

Isn't She Adorable?

A friend of mine hidden in the name of RiLA. commented upon it and her comment kinda boggled me. She said that we looked a like! Actually, found her comment cool knowing that this child is adorable and through the rule of look-a-likes making me also..*aheeem*..adorable.

Oh yeah, RiLA also discovered that I have a green contoured eyes. It's not that significant to see if your 2 feet away from me, but if you look close enough you'll see that my eyes are like what she said. I even looked it up in the mirror and asked my friends! hahaha

The picture above is what I'm talking about. We'll sadly I'm not going to show my face on this blog for my identity is a secret - just like a superero!

I do not really do this let us say, "personal experience blog" concept (Check out my whole blog and you will see why) but, this felt like sharing. So, I'm making an exception!

Well, RiLA thank you for noticing how adorable I am, uhm! I mean adorable the child is. To all those who know me and my face well, what do you think? haha xD

For those who are curious on how good looking I am (Haters Gonna Hate!), sorry can't show it! But thanks for reading my blog! :D

Well, that's all dudes and dudettes! 'Till next time :)

God bless ;D

Kumusta Ka!

This is one Cebuano-Christian song that I reeeeeeally like! Searched for it through the internet, but the search engine didn't give me what I wanted. Didn't realize that there are a lot of songs entitled Kumusta Ka.

Still, after a bit of searching and meddling with my browser's search button. Finally! I have found the lyrics of this song.

Wanted to play it for myself so, hey! I transcribed it!

This my version of Kumusta Ka.

Key: A

Intro: A - E

Verse:
A                
Nalipay ko’g dako nga ikaw ania

E                                         A

Nalipay ko’g dako nga makauban na sad ta

Nalipay ko’g dako nga ikaw nisimba
E                            A
Igsoon ko kumusta ka na!


Chorus:
D
Pagkaanindut mukanta
                 A     /G     F#m

Have fun meeting and greeting each other with the Lord!
God bless you! :D

My Everlasting Friend

Morning and evening you're always there.
Looking at me though nobody cares.
Ever hour, every minute stroking my head,
Even though I am already out of bed.

Some may think I'm crazy,
But, you think differently.
Making me feel special,
Even though the world denies me.

People think I'm crazy,
Being so dependent on You.
But they don't realize how Amazing You are.
And all the things that You can do.

I am really so blessed to know You,
You even fought for me.
Releasing me in these chains,
So I can live joyfully.

Someone that fought for me,
Even though I don't deserve it.
Blood that was shed not on swords,
But, in Your hands; on a tree.

You are the only one I can fully trust.
I even received from You the best gift,
Assuring me of my future,
That everlastingly spans for eternity.

I may not be able to see you now,
But I am sure it'll come.
You will forever be in my heart.
For that is the place I set for you right from the start.

-A.R.L.

Epic Mother's Day is Epic

Well, I really do not know when the exact date of Mother's Day is, but hey! Made my mom a special video!

It's a wee bit short and maybe not a grand scale video editing which can be viewed in 3D, but its for my one and only mother! ;D



Hey Ma! Mother's Day is a special day where all moms are cheered for, and I am quite happy for having a great mom!

However, whether its independence day, our dog's birthday and even April fools day! I will forever love you and celebrate everyday as if its like mothers day!

Thank you for being a great Mom MA! Love ya! :D

Friendship Worth It

In this dark and cloudy night.
where the moon shines, but unable to bear its light.
Seeing you made me bear a smile.
And my heart felt excited just like a child.

I waited just to greet you,
but you were a bit busy so I waited a little more.
Gladly, somebody was there.
To accompany me while you were else were.

Now I sit here in this room,
Feeling a bit sad, filled with a lot of gloom.
Looking at the moon and gazing at it so dearly.
Like if it was you, looking back at me so kindly.

I wished we had a talk,
Even non sense would have sufficed.
Exchanging laughs and smiles,
Starting the day off, filled with cherished hearts.

But, it is not the way it used to be.
We simply exchanged greetings.
Like a simple cycle with no complexity,
Part of life that was made empty.

You may call me like an intimate friend,
but that's just sweet words.
A hollowed up rock,
Doubtful and untrue.

Still, I can never judge you,
Knowing how it may end if I do.
But I know whatever happens it's for the best,
I can surely count on Him to do the rest.

Our friendship maybe a lie or a truth,
But I am happy it did exists.
Knowing you and even sharing secrets,
Times that are lost but I'll forever cherish.

-A.R.L.

Like A Lily

As Christian's it is normal for us to face trials as we go on through life. The bible even tells us this:
In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted - 2 Timothy 3: 12
Trials are part of our lives, and sometimes they drain us up to the bone. However, as we experience these events, it does not mean life is already over for us.

I have found a very nice devotional written by Michael Jones that tells us that in these times, in these great troubles...Be like a lily.

Ever notice the Lily?

A beautiful flower that grows, flourishes and maintains its incredibly delightful aroma despite the ugly and gloomy muck in which it is sometimes found to have sprung its roots.

WE TOO MUST BECOME LIKE THIS BEAUTIFUL FLOWER!

Able to withstand the negativity, anger, spiteful words and foul attitudes others sometimes spew in our direction.

We must become like the Lily which retains its elegant and pleasant attributes regardless of its
 circumstances or environment. So when your weeks are tough, when they appear painfully endless and the darts of the enemy feels more painful with every toss, do what the lily does.

Here are some verses to enlighten you up!

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not tremble or be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go. - Joshua 1:9

Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand. - Isiah 41: 10

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me - Philippians 4:13

The LORD is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the defense of my life; Whom shall I dread - Psalm 27: 1

We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that his life may also be revealed in our mortal body. - 2 Corinthians 4:8-11

I am the light of the world; he who follows Me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life. - John 8: 12 

Hold your head up high and lean towards the light! CHRIST JESUS!

There are trials that are easy to win, and trials that will try to dry us up, but with the grace of God in us, we will surely conquer all of them!

There may be times that we lose some battles that makes us think to give up, but never forget, battles are just part of the war you are on. With God as your general, the "war" that you are in will always be a victory on your side!

I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world. - John 16: 33

Take heart, have faith and continue holding on!
BE LIKE THE LILY :))


-A.R.L.

No Chance At All...

When she said, "You're a nice person," I knew I had no chance.

 Women don't look for niceness in a man.
"A nice person" is an expression they use pityingly...


...To someone so shallow and uninteresting that they sense no mystery in him.

A Body Break

We all need a break,
And that's an accepted fact.
Our body needs rest,
To avoid it from getting snapped.

Our body needs attention,
So, make sure to put everything in place.
Skipping meals is out of option,
For this will make you lose the race.

Sleeping late is another.
Waking up late will follow after.
Making them pimples happy,
growing everywhere, where you don't want them to be.

Our body is our asset,
Designed in His image and likeness.
That is why taking care of it is a must!
For without it, we will bite the dust.

Though sometimes we abuse ourselves,
Sleeping late, skipping meals.
Doing something that needs to be done,
Especially, when the deadline is about to come.

That is good if your being productive,
Just don't do it, on a daily basis.
Especially when you're doing it just for fun.
Being useless, worthless and just plain pointless.

I also hope I put this in my head,
I even prayed for motivation.
But I know through the Grace He has given me.
These things will be put into action.

-A.R.L.

He Never Fails!

Let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap if we do not give up - Galatians 6:9

There may be times that we think God has forgotten about us -- left us to perish

However, we need to keep the faith! continue trusting in Him


WE NEED TO REALIZE THAT:

1. God is perfect.

•     He never fails and makes mistakes.

2. God is helping you if you allow Him to help you.

•     Yes! He respects our choices.

3. There are things that you might need to change.

•     We are continually growing. We are not perfectly mature yet.

4. Never make a mistake of putting yourself down.

•     We are fearfully and wonderfully made. Hating ourselves is hating the one who created us.

5. God is there to help you, not to condemn you.

•     He has plans for us to prosper and give us hope for the future (Jeremiah 29: 11)

So, keep doing what you think is right. Do not change your FAITH in God. Keep trusting Him

FOR IT PAYS TO WALK WITH GOD. TRUST ME IT DOES! :DD
...He rewards those who earnestly seek Him - Hebrews 11: 6

We are still growing and learning so we do not yet understand everything. But, just because we do not understand what is happening, this is NO reason to doubt God :))

Even in the Dark
Trust in God, for HE NEVER FAILS :D

-A.R.L.

Bisyang Koreanovela

Sa karong gabhi-ona,
Bahalag ang bitu-un gapiyong na.
Ako ga huna-huna gihapon,
Sa imo karong mga orasa.

Kadyot lang, kadyot lang.
Bahalag gikilig nakag sugod,
Bahalag namula naka sa aping,
Dili ikaw ang akong pasabot.

Gabii naman tana,
pero dili ko kasabot sa hinungdan.
Sa pag laroy-laroy sa akong utok,
Bisan ikaw dili makatabang.

May galeh na lingaw ko run,
Bahalag libog dyapon ang desisyon.
Mulipas ra lagi ni,
Kay masaligan ko Sya ani!

Apil baya dyapon ka sa adlaw nako run,
Wala bayay lami ang kinabuhi kung walay bitu-un.
Bitu-in nga makalanay ug ngisi.
Pati ubang tawo maglaway makakita lang ani.

Wala baya ko galaway ha?
Mahalata pa lang sa uban tawo.
Basin kaning kasing-kasing ko,
Akong isarado.

Da oi gabii na,
Mura napud nig balak ang akong gi storya,
Imbes ang pulos ani pang drama,
Tua ra! Nahimo na nuon ug koreanovela!

Sa akong pagtulog karon
Magpasalamat dyud ko niya.
Kay bahalag di nako siya makita,
Iyang akbay akong napuna.

Hala sige!
Sulay-sulay raman ta ni!
Bisayang lalom na di pud tantong taas,
Gabiing dako samtang ang bitu-un gatago.

 -A.R.L.

Confusing, Rewarding, Trusting

Confusing times are hard to bear.
A trap, a pit, a hole and a snare.
It feels like the world is on your shoulder,
Pushing you down, until your body wears.

But, life isn't always about ups,
Sometimes you need a little bump.
Going up and down, like a roller coaster.
When you finish the ride, you'll be stronger.

Be comforted in the trials to come.
For someone is looking at you.
Watching, guarding and loving,
Helping without you even knowing.

So, just keep smiling and moving,
Climbing peaks and falling.
For in the end of your journey,
A reward greater than you expected is waiting.

-A.R.L.
