Year 1995, World Youth Day was held in Philippines and that was the first time I saw the Pope, who was then, Pope John Paul II, the Pope I grew up with. I saw his face afar while I am waving my face towel as everyone were waving theirs. I am just a third year high school student back then. It was one of the most memorable day in life. 2006, a year after Pope John Paul II died, over a year late when I finally learned that he already called by Our Father. I was suprised! I didn't know that it was happened because of my hectic schedule and busyness of my daily life. I regret it. But now it is 2011 and tomorrow May 01, 2011 Pope John Paul II will be beatified and will be Blessed John Paul II, a way to sainthood. This time I will not let this moment/occasion passed me by again. I was not there nor not aware when the whole world mourned over the Pope when he passed away, so now I make sure I will witness his Beatification, his way for being a saint. I have also a great faith to this Pope because he gives me hope, everytime I see him it is like I can see an angel, a God-sent individual with alot of kindness in his face, his speech and his relation to other people. Indeed, Pope John Paul II is a holy man God sent to spread His everlasting love to all His people all over the world. Blessed John Paul II, help me to pray to God and show me your smile once again.
Tomorrow is the day...
Be merry and God added another Saint in this world...:)
I am sharing to you now the piece of me... my thoughts, my feelings, my dreams, my sadness, my gladness, my conviction, my beliefs and everything I consider worth living and believing. Try to read between the lines... feel the words, ponder on it and you'll have an opportunity to live the world I am now living..or rather don't mind it at all! :)
Welcome! Take a peek on my world...
This is my world. Different from other people but sure, its wonderful and full of life. Yeah, right! I am different from other people and I want to stay that way. Afterall, I am here to make a difference in this world and not to please people to like me. Just remember, people will notice WHAT I do but only God knows WHY I do things..all motives are known only by Him. :)

The Proteus in me..
PROTEUS
In Greek mythology, Proteus is an early sea-god, one of several deities whom Homer calls the "Old Man of the Sea"[1], whose name suggests the "first", as protogonos is the "primordial" or the "firstborn". He became the son of Poseidon in the Olympian theogony (Odyssey iv. 432), or of Nereus and Doris, or of Oceanus and a Naiad, and was made the herdsman of Poseidon's seals, the great bull seal at the center of the harem. He can foretell the future, but, in a mytheme familiar from several cultures, will change his shape to avoid having to; he will answer only to someone who is capable of capturing him. From this feature of Proteus comes the adjective protean, with the general meaning of "versatile", "mutable", "capable of assuming many forms": "Protean" has positive connotations of flexibility, versatility and adaptability.
