Last Nov. 13, 2011, I attended the Powerpoint and Moviemaker workshop organized by another SFC chapter, from 1-B.  It was so generous of them to share their knowledge and expertise in this area. I learned a lot, coming from someone whose course in college was completely not related to computers and its applications. I now have an idea on how to navigate the ribbon toolbar in the powerpoint and moviemaker.  I was so impressed in Windows Live Moviemaker. My! It was so easy to use. After the workshop, I got excited in making my first movie /or music video. I just finished one before making this post. To all experts who’ll see this, I think this isn’t bad for a beginner. =) Enjoy!

***Ooops! I’m having a hard time uploading the video. And it’s late in the evening. Will upload it tomorrow.

While I’m Waiting :

(John Waller)

I’m waiting
I’m waiting on You, Lord
And I am hopeful
I’m waiting on You, Lord
Though it is painful
But patiently, I will wait

I will move ahead, bold and confident
Taking every step in obedience
While I’m waiting
I will serve You
While I’m waiting
I will worship
While I’m waiting
I will not faint
I’ll be running the race
Even while I wait

I’m waiting
I’m waiting on You, Lord
And I am peaceful
I’m waiting on You, Lord
Though it’s not easy
But faithfully, I will wait
Yes, I will wait
I will serve You while I’m waiting
I will worship while I’m waiting
I will serve You while I’m waiting
I will worship while I’m waiting
I will serve you while I’m waiting
I will worship while I’m waiting on You, Lord

I’m waiting
I’m waiting on You, Lord
And I am hopeful
I’m waiting on You, Lord
Though it is painful
But patiently, I will wait

I will move ahead, bold and confident
Taking every step in obedience
While I’m waiting
I will serve You
While I’m waiting
I will worship
While I’m waiting
I will not faint
I’ll be running the race
Even while I wait

I’m waiting
I’m waiting on You, Lord
And I am peaceful
I’m waiting on You, Lord
Though it’s not easy
But faithfully, I will wait
Yes, I will wait
I will serve You while I’m waiting
I will worship while I’m waiting
I will serve You while I’m waiting
I will serve you while I’m waiting
I will worship while I’m waiting on You, Lord

– This song already says a lot about waiting. There are important words and phrases mentioned: though it’s painful, obedience, faithfully, serve, worship, peaceful, though it’s not easy, running the race, bold, confident, hopeful, peaceful, etc.

For me, the significance of this song assures me that despite lacking in other aspects of my life, I will still pursue and persevere for it and wait for the right time that God will grant them to me. I don’t know when, I don’t know how, I don’t know where. But one thing’s for sure, I have my 100% trust in God, that in His time, everything I aspire will be given to me. While I’m waiting for so many things in my life, I will serve and worship the Lord. Just like what I’m doing now. I know time will come I will also be inactive in the community for whatever reason,either of the following: if I pursue my nursing career in the province, if I pursue it abroad, or if I get married in the future. I always say this to myself. “Hangga’t kaya ko, hangga’t pwede pa ako, I will serve the Lord, with all that I am and with everything that I have. ‘Cause I’ll never know what will happen in the future so might as well give my all on it.

***I also want to watch the movie  Fireproof. The song, “While I’m waiting”, is the original soundtrack of the movie. 🙂

Let me describe first the weather. Today’s Sunday, about 4pm in the afternoon. And I haven’t seen the sun shine this day. It’s been raining for most of the morning. And now, the rain has stopped, and was replaced by a cloudy weather. Or should I describe it as a gloomy weather. I say it, a kind of day I both like and dislike. Externally, i like, but internally, i dislike. Did you get it?

I like for the simple reason of the comfort it gives. The feeling of a cold breeze touching our skin. Since I don’t live in luxury of aircon in the house, so this weather is a good energy saving method for us not to use electric fan anymore, so less electricity consumption. It’s also nice to sleep in the night surrounded with cold breeze. But as I look at my window this time, what I see is a lonely view of nature (well, for my own perspective). A wet surrounding, with no children playing in the streets, lots of empty spaces, no voice of children laughing. It’s like there’s no wind, and the leaves of the trees seemed to have no life, it’s just stagnant. I’m used to seeing the leaves and trunks of the trees being swayed by the strong wind. And now, it’s just blank. And so is my mood.When it rained a while ago, I thought my heart will cry too.

Well I just I have to thank God for this weather. The rain was not so destructive as what happened during other typhoons.

I’m hoping to see sunshine, blue sky, and rich fluffy clouds tomorrow.
