WE PRAY (a thanksgiving song)

We Pray (Girlie Arce & DJ Padilla)

I am about to offer God a sacrifice of Thanksgiving on Friday for all His goodness, blessings, and mercy all year round. On January 22 I will be celebrating my 9th birthday in spirit (for those who do not know that was the date when I was baptized in our Church).

I value this day too much. Those past 9 nine years is like a journey full of struggles but I wouldn't deny the fact that I've been so happy most of the times. To be with the brethren who fully subject themselves to the will of their Creator is such a very nice experience I wouldn't ever regret, rather cherish all the days of my life. It may sound corny (or stupid) to others especially to those who are not that religious but wait, acknowledging the will of your Creator isn't stupid at all, rather the wisest decision you'll ever make.

By the way, this is the song that I, together with Sis. Elaine, is about to sing. We have our own version, too, but I'm not going to post our recordings here without her permission, for she most probably wouldn't allow me. ^.^

The skies are crying coz I’m happy

It's been raining for a couple of days now which means we've already been so patient waiting for our clothes to dry up. It also spells out that we've been enduring the heavy flow of traffic for a couple of days now. I wonder why the traffic jams whenever it rains, this fact happens even in the Philippines. In spite of this, no one hates the rain in this country. Everyone enjoys it, everyone loves it. It's a blessing which can be considered a miracle in this place, for it seldom rains here.

This frequent drizzle is somewhat similar with the season last year except for this brain-freezing air that makes your teeth chill and your whole body tremble. It's a lot colder now than before which makes me really enjoy this season. I know sooner or later this will all be gone and the temperature would again be as hot as if you are being fried alive. You could just imagine how hot the hell is, though this place I think is colder than that.
