Ako lang ba yung noong nakatikim na ng Davao pomelo, tumaas na ang standard sa prutas na to?

Yung dati naman nakakatikim ako ng ibang klaseng pomelo e, ok lang, pwede na.
Pero hindi remarkable.

Pero nung nakatikim ako nito nung nagpunta ako sa Davao around 2017, ito na lang yung pomelo na kinakain ko. Maaaring minsan ay maliit, may mga marka, hindi makinis, pero kapag nabuksan at nasubukan, napakatamis at siguradong hahanap-hanapin mo.

Ewan ko ba, pero bakit naisip ko na ang Davao pomelo ay parang si Tatay Digong?

Hindi perpekto sa labas, hindi yung nakasanayan nating "disente" na politiko, pero napakabuti ng loob. At dahil sa pagmamahal nya sa mga Pilipino, pati ako na walang pakielam sa politika dati, ngayon ay handang ipagtanggol sya sa pintas at fake news. Ang klase ng kanyang pamumuno, talagang hahanap-hanapin mo sa susunod na pangulo.

Salamat Tatay Digong. Dahil sayo, masasabi ko na ngayon na, ang sarap maging Pilipino!

With this, friends, I would like to share with you My Top 17 Greatest Blessings of 2017 as a way of spreading optimism, faith and hope :) 1. Regular confession As a Catholic, I am aware of the gift called the Sacrament of Reconciliation, but I must admit that I sometimes find it hard to confess my sins and repent from my wrongdoings. I sometimes have this mentality that "I sin every day, why confess?" or "Our God is merciful, He will love me even if I am a sinner." . This thinking led me to more venial sins, and somehow blinded my perception of this sacrament. My misconception was changed during one of the formation talks that I heard

Man's Rejection is God's Redirection

Jasmine B. Suiza Naranasan mo na bang ma-reject? Ma-shutdown? Maiwan? Hindi ka normal kung palaging pabor sa'yo ang buhay. Life may sometimes be unfair. Yung ginawa mo naman ang best mo, pero tila palagi ka pa ring, gaya ng sabi ng kanta: "...Luhaan, sugatan, di mapakinabangan..." Masakit. Sa tuwing mararanasan ko ang rejection, nagbabalik ako sa pagtatanong. "Saan ba ako nagkamali?" "May ginawa nga ba akong tama?" "Lord, bakit?" There are facts of life that are far beyond our human hearts and minds to comprehend. Kahit paulit-ulit kong intindihin ay hindi ko makuha ang sagot. Whenever I start to dwell on painful events, I remind myself about the Lord's message through Romans 8:18: "The pain that you've been feeling, can't compare to the joy that's coming." For sure, God's plans are FAR BETTER than our plans. We just have to surrender our doubts, f
