BECAUSE

After a 5-day congress of the Ateneo Student Leaders' Assembly, there have been so many thoughts about my existence.. my mission, and my lifelong dreams... and as I recall, the fun and the sentimental moments that happened from Oct. 23-27 will be all part of the clues in answering my questions and speculations.

The congress gave so much input in my life, not only in terms of being a LEADER but also a Follower of God's teachings.

I learned so many things. So many questions were asked and until now, some of those are still unanswered. Though I know, for me, it's just a matter of time that I'll be able to understand my confusion. I have yet to know a LOT and discover my world. I'm thankful for all who were part of ASLA because I'm a different person NOW.

The most important word that I've realized: BECAUSE. Sir Pagsi's talk provided so many quotes that are deeply connected in my life. His stories moved me and I have been thinking of this BECAUSE and all of the purposes I have in my life. But as of now, I guess I'll continue my Passion and dreams of serving, leading, and inspiring people through music and biology.

Thanks to everyone who were there for me, supported my music, and listened to my stories and insights. My small group: Pau, Melai, William and Chummy. I want to thank all the members of the "horny balls group" (god, i still am laughing about our Blue Team's name!) for the group effort you've all given during the ASLAmazing Challenge and for all the activities we did. Thanks to the CORE group especially my facis, Maja, Kira and Nash for supporting and believing in us. I am so glad to have met you all in this lifetime and I hope to see you all soon.

I miss ASLA already and I promise to live up to my dreams starting now on my 6th day.

Here's my song just for ASLA. It's entitled Magkaisa Tayo. I hope you like it.


Sa buhay natin ngayon
maraming hirap ang nararanasan
ang kulang lang sa'tin ay
pagtitiyaga at pag-asang tunay

Bakit nga ba may mga tanong
na hanggang ngayon ay di pa nasasagot?
Kailangan nga bang sagutin
para may kabuluhan ang buhay natin?

CHORUS:

Magkaisa tayo sa ating pagbabago
Magtulungan tayo para may matanto
Magbigayan tayo para sa'ting bukas
Magtiwala sa Diyos, siya ang ating lakas

BRIDGE:

Paano tayo kikilos?
Saan tayo magsisimula?
Kaibigan, wag nang mahiya
pagkat tayo'y nagkakaisa!

Repeat Chorus 2x

Coda: siya ang ating..... lakas....


Godspeed everyone. Live the passion. Courage to Lead.
