Culture Clash and His Words

Marami talaga ang pagkakaiba nating mga pinoy sa amerikano o kaya mexicano. Example if a fly suddenly appears when you guys are eating. They would normally freak out and try to do something to get rid of the fly and say "I hate flies." For us average Filipino's its a part of our life to eat with flies hanging around. We don't really care that much. It's normal. Minsan sa karinderia sahog pa yan sa lugaw. Lols.

We filipino's have pamalo para sa langaw, minsan naman we will light up a candle para mawala ang flies. Which I think it actually works. One time when we were eating at a party there's a lot of flies. So a Mexican friend said "I'll go get a bag of water and put pennies on it." "For what?" we asked. He answered "Flies don't like that." And we were like "Lol what the?"

Another example. I have a housemate he is American. One day he asked me "What is this thing doing in the toilet? What do you use this for? (he is referring to water dipper or tabo). I didn't actually responded to his question correctly, I just said "Just leave it there, I use it every time I use the toilet so leave it alone don't mess with it!" Napa okay na lang siya. Americans are fond of using toilet papers kase pamunas ng pwet. Mas pakiramdam ko mas malinis kase kapag binuhasan pa rin ng tubig ang pwet. Lol. Wala pa ring tatalo sa tabo! big time!

Mexicans naman treat avocado's like how we treat tomatoes. They put it in the sandwich, they dip their nachos in it (guacamole), they put it every where!  I know a Mexican guy who can't eat without avocado. I mean I can live without eating avocados for 10 years. Lols. One time he saw me putting milk on my avocado. He was like "Wait wait wait what are you doing? That is grose!" I said "No! This is good! You should try it!" He ran away from me and he said he feels like throwing up. Like what I said they treat avocado like how we treat tomatoes. Masusuka din ako pag lalagyan niya ng milk ang kamatis ah!

For Indians naman. Thank God wala pa akong kaibigang Indian. Pero everytime talaga na may nakakasalubong ako eh gusto ko tanungin kung wala ba sa daily routines nila ang pagligo. Ambabaho eh. Not all naman but I think most of them. Ni wala nga sa bucket list ko ang kumain sa Indian Restaurant kase maamoy ko pa lang parang hihimatayin na ako. Yung mga Chinese naman maka kain ng uod at fetus maryahosepmaryano! Anyway. . .we still need to respect each other and value individuals culture. :)

Anyhow, inihaw kahit iba iba pa tayo ng culture, iba iba man ang mga nakasanayang gawin at hindi gawin. One thing is for sure! The word of God is the word of God. It's for all the people! Whether toilet paper lang gusto mo ipunas sa pwet mo, whether may langaw ka sa lugaw mo at kahit hindi ka naliligo, the word of God will always be the same. It's not like oh this word is for these group of people, this for this. No it's not like that! Standard yan para sa lahat.

Kaya huwag nating gawin parang buffet table ang word of God. I mean you just take what you want and leave what you don't want or eat what you like and forget what you don't like. We should follow every single word written in it. Lahat lahatan yan.

Example you like this verse. "Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. Mark 11:24. So diyan tuwang tuwa ka kase sarap ng promise ni Lord! Then nabasa mo naman to "But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart." - Matthew 5:28. Tapos yan ayaw mo kase sarap na hobby niyan eh. Huwag yan Lord pleasure ko yan eh. Oh di ba parang that's something that does not come together. Dapat lahat kuha! Di pwede ang culture clash na yan sa word of God! :)

God's Minion

What is a minion?

I know what you are thinking. You are thinking of the small, yellow, funny, cylinder-shaped, genetically humanized kernels that have one or two eyes, cute little guys from the movie despicable me. These minions are so adorable! But what really is a minion?

According to pareng wikipedia, a minion is a follower devoted to serve his/her master relentlessly. Ang tindi pala ng mga minions, kaya pala from the movie despicable me kahit anong sabihin ng master nila na si Gru eh talagang sumusunod sila whatever it takes. If you've watched the first despicable me, you know what I'm saying. If you haven't watched the first Despicable Me yet, you might wanna watch it free online. Then watch Despicable Me 2 in theaters naman, cause aside from it's illegal to watch it in pirated dvd's, it is no fun, pangit ang sound at may nag tatayuan na tao and it's still showing pa naman. Sobrang dinudumog ang movie ng mga 3 years old! (Free ad ah)

Going back to my topic. Lols. I want to be God's minion. So when I say minion dapat sagad sagad talaga, devoted & willing to serve my master (God) relentlessly. Right now, dahil sa situation ko, medyo limited ang mga taong nakakasama at nakakasalamuha ko so medyo slow ang progress ng sharing the gospel personally to other people, though I still share his word through the internet, but I guess it's not enough. Eh why do I need to share the Gospel, eh okay naman na ang buhay ko?

It's a command from God (Matthew 28:19). As a believer yan ang dapat kong gawin, like what the purpose of this blog, I'd like to share the Gospel in every way. We Christians should not stop sharing the Gospel so that other people will also be able to know God. Imagine if everyone of us will stop sharing the gospel, wala nang maliligtas, wala ng magiging masaya, wala na ang teaching ni Jesus na love your neighbor as you love yourself, magiging magulo na ang mundo, walang ng peace, puro digmaan na. Yan kase talaga ang nabibigay ng merong Jesus sa buhay, merong peace! Kaya gusto natin na pati ang pamilya natin, ang mga tao sa paligid natin eh magkaroon din ng Jesus para kahit nasa trials sila eh merong peace sa buhay. Kaya we should continue to share the gospel because it is a command from God, and we are his minions.

For sure marami pa ang hindi nakaka kilala kay Jesus, marami rami pang pwedeng maka kilala sa kanya ng lubusan at dapat tayo ay maging instrumento para maka kilala sila. "The harvest is plentiful but the minions are few. (Matthew 9:37) . Oh gusto mo maging minion ni God? Share the gospel parekoy!

Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand

Tanong: Bakit ang daming tinik ng isda sa blog mo?

Sagot: Ah kase kinain na nila yung laman ng isda. Alanganan naman pati tinik kainin nila! Wala pa namang dala si Jesus na mineral water o kaya saging panulak sa mga matitinik. Napa instant himala pa siguro siyang mag tanggal ng tinik sa mga lalamanunan ng matitinik.

Bale five thousand men besides women and children ang pinakain ni Jesus sa pamamagitan lamang ng limang tinapay at dalawang isda.( Back read on Matthew 14:13-21) Whoaaaahhhhhh!!! Ang astig ni Jesus noh? Sobra! mantakin mo, mag pakain ba naman ng libo libong katao? Eh kahit yung kumandidatong Mayor sa may amin nung naka raang eleksyon hindi kayang mag pakain ng isang libong katao eh. Tapos naulit pa ulit ang pag papakain niya ng libo libong tao sa Matthew 15. Ang astig pa dun, di niya na kailangan mag luto pa ng kung ano ano, dinaan na lang niya sa panalangin ang lahat. Hestiiiiggg~~

Ang nakaka mangha ng sobra doon eh yung compassion niya sa tao. Sabi niya sa mga disciples niya "Pakainin natin itong mga tao, sunod ng sunod sa atin ilang araw na eh mga gutom na yan, kapag di natin pinakain yan eh magtumbahan sa lansangan yan." Sumagot ang isa sa mga alagad "Wow Jesus lansangan ang lalim na tagalog naman niyan! Hahaha! Kidding aside wala tayong pagkain na dala! pero may bata diyan may dalang limang tinapay at dalawang isda. So kinuha nila sa bata yung tinapay at isda (nang may paalam). Buti na lang naturuan na ni Jesus yung bata na maging mapag bigay sa kapwa, eh kung hindi, nganga sila sa gutom, mag lumpasay pa yung bata sa kakaiyak kase siempre pag nawala na yung baon niyang isda at tinapay siya naman ang magutuman. Lakas din ng faith at obedience ni bata noh?

Grabe yung pagmamahal ni Jesus, eh kung wala wala lang siya eh pinauwi niya na lang yung mga taong yun. "Magsi-uwi na kayo, gabi na wala kaming papakain sa inyo!" Oh di ba hindi ganyan si Jesus! Nag himala siya para makakain man lang ang mga tao bago sila umuwi.

Hindi lang nabusog ang mga tao kundi na satisfied pa. Iba yung busog sa na-satisfy eh.

Jesus is Astig kase hindi hinayaan ni Jesus magtumbahan sa lansangan ang more than five thousand men sa gutom!
