Daily Prompt: You are more ♥



What is beauty? And why don’t I ever feel like I have it? Why am I never good enough? How do I stop the relentless, attacking voice in my head telling me I’ll never be pretty?
This is the sound of the conversation I’ve had way too many times recently.
How many girls feel this way? The trap of comparison, jealousy, and self-hate is a pit that is hard to climb out of. I’m not immune to it either. I will be the first to raise my hand and say I know how real this struggle is.
It got me to wonder… What do guys really think is beautiful? And not the worldly, shallow guys but the ones that are my brothers in Christ. What dothey see as beautiful? I had a hunch that hearing their thoughts might help to counteract the destructive inner dialogue that girls struggle with. Not because our goal as women is to be beautiful to men. No. It’s about hearing from our male counterparts how often they see our beauty as Christ sees us, not as the world sees us.
I was so moved by the responses of these Catholic men. I hope you are too… because you are beautiful.

YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL WHEN…

“You are beautiful when you dance like nobody’s watching, tell corny jokes, and share your heart without fear.” – Ryan O.
“You’re beautiful when you’re victorious in being confident with your second day hair.” – Gabe T.
“You are beautiful when you stand up for the dignity of others and recognize the tremendous dignity and self-worth you have within yourself.” -Joel S.
“You are beautiful when you wear your hoodie and baggy sweats because you prefer comfort over compliments.” – Mark B
“You are beautiful when you laugh so hard you snort a little… when you put your whole heart into something you are passionate about… and when you are confident about the talents that God has given you.” – Jon G.
“You are beautiful when you worship with hands high. You are beautiful when you dance and joke around.” – Diego D
“You are beautiful when you’re absorbed in prayer. God’s face shines on yours.” – Jason E.
“I find women who are confident beautiful. Women who look you in the eye as they talk with you. Women who are self-aware. Aware of their imperfections and aware of what they’re good at. I am attracted by physical beauty. When a woman takes pride in her appearance, when she wears clothes that compliment her size and shape. When she’s not scatter brained or jittery but calm. Calm women are beautiful women. Women who don’t just hear you but listen to you are beautiful. Caring women are beautiful women.Beautiful women are women whose universe is bigger than themselves. They are interested in things around them. In virtue. In me. In good literature. Women whose universes are no bigger than themselves get boring very quickly.” – Matt F.
“You are beautiful when you smile, please do it more. ” – Felix C.
“You are beautiful when you refuse to gossip.” – Stephen L.
“You are beautiful when you’re still patient after a hard day at work… when you’re lounging in your pajamas, when your hair is all messed up from serving those in need, when you’re out of breathe from playing with your nieces and nephews, when you literally cannot stop giggling, when you are completely and utterly yourself and when I see you deep in prayer in the midst of a hustling and bustling world.” – Jurell S.
“You were beautiful on the day we met, breath-taking on the day you became my wife, and stunning every day when I come home and you’re there to greet me.” – Perry R.
“You are beautiful when you spend time adoring the beauty of God… when you are joyful, peaceful, grateful. You are beautiful just because God made you!” – Jordi M.
“You are beautiful when you wear your faith on your shoulder.” – Ian G.
“You are beautiful when you serve the poor.” – Nicholas
“You are beautiful when you strive for God’s will… when you smile, when youpray before the Blessed Sacrament.” – Daniel G.

Daily Prompt: Just Keep Swimming

They (my sister and my niece) were watching  “Finding Nemo” last Sunday,  and that moment I was plucking my guitar,  I was about to get my capo when I heard clearly what Dory says (the blue fish)  “Just keep on swimming, just keep on swimming” Oh! That’s it! (Seems like God use Dory to remind me this)   When things seem to be impossible to do,  “Just keep on swimming, just keep on swimming” When you feel tired  “Just keep on swimming, just keep on swimming” When in doubt  “Just keep on swimming, just keep on swimming” Because when life gets you down, that's what you've got to do… “Just keep on swimming, just keep on swimming” Not literally but to "Move Forward in Faith" ^_^ #Amen #TYL #ThanksDory #EnduringHeart #FearlessFaith  #71of365

Daily Prompt: Planner♥

Iniiyakan ko ang planner ko habang  binabasa ang mga naisulat kong plano,  para sa sarili ko, para sa pamilya ko,  para sa komunidad kung san ako nabibilang  at para sa ikauunlad ng bansang Pilipinas (haha. Loko lang)  yung totoo, nitong mga nakaraang araw,  maraming beses lang nakikipag usap sakin ang Panginoon  sa pamamagitan ng mga talata ng librong aking binabasa,  sa musikang aking pinapakinggan  at maging sa mga taong aking nakakasalamuha,  ang minsang mga bagay na akala ko’y  nakaayon naman sa plano ng Panginoon  ay nag iiba ng ruta at mas pinapakitaan Niya ko  ng bagay na di ko sukat akalain, at kelangan ko talagang namnamin. Ang pulit ulit na mensaheng binibigay Niya “ Mag antay ka ”  ang salitang to na pakiramdam ko unti unti kong ikamamatay (OA lang… haha)  sati’y napak ahirap isa –puso’t isabuhay,  habang iniisip nating ang buhay nati’y isang mahabang paglalak...

Daily Prompt: Reflection Paper

“We have to learn it this way” as I lead the prayer to end the last session of our Integration class.  While reflecting on my experience of taking up Intergration, I came up to a realization that I trully enjoyed the process. I remember, I was really excited when our teacher announced the “Major major project” in her subject. I really love the experience in dealing with business – oriented individuals, how they start  the business and what are the values they possess in order for them to keep the business on top. And I know that I am the type of person who loves to learn more knowledge in and out of the classroom. But  a “team project” leads to an “individual group work”,  we have no one to blame but ourselves. I, myself should have a sense of responsibility, since I am one of the senior students, It was difficult at times to motivate myself to do the work, since I see the other groups do their best effort to collaborate with the team.  But there’...
