New Year, New Me



“New Year, New Me”

Whenever I reminisced the past, I always asked myself, was that the right thing to do? Or did I make the wrong decision? What if I made the opposite of my decision? Would everything turned out to be fine?

Past is not just merely a past. This is a memory which teaches us a lesson. Our past is a warning or a reminder of the things we have done right or wrong. For the wrong doings that we want to make it right for us to make our life better.

There are plenty of what if’s in my head but I do know that if I did good in the past, I can do great in the future. I treasure my present because it is a gift. I can apply the things I learned in the past in my present and maybe, just maybe in my future. I can be a better person in the future.

This 2014 a big change is going to happen. New Year, new me. 

A better me I hope. I learned my lessons in year 2013 and I’m not going to make the same mistakes twice. I may not be perfect but no one is perfect. But this will not stop me to become closer to perfection. My past will serve as my guide and my present should serve as my inspiration, for my future lies in me.

This year will be a better year for me. A better life.

"The Essence of Christmas"




The True Essence of Christmas



        Chapter 1, Verse 14, of The New Testament’s Book, “THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO JOHN”, proclaims: "And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us, and (we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten son of the Father) full of grace and truth.

        The “flesh” and “son of the father” alluded to in the aforementioned Scriptural verse is no other than Jesus of Nazareth who was born. “Not of blood nor of the will of the flesh, nor the will of men, but of GOD”. Not being the being offspring of Joseph, Jesus is referred to the “Son of God”. The sobriquet underscores that Jesus’ mundane existence was made possible through the Heavenly Patriarch’s intervention.

        On account of Jesus Christ’s, primary task of redeeming humankind from sin, He is also described in the Bible as the “Lamb of God which taken away the sins of the world” or “Mesias” or Christ.

        The essence of Christmas is the Celebration of Jesus Christ’s birth and the turning into readily the promise of the Father to send his Son to the World to redeem Adam’s and Eve’s family members from the curse of sin. Critics observe that December 25 is not the true birthday of Jesus Christ but were purposely selected by the Roman Catholic Church to compete with and to discredit the pagan festival of the winter solstice. True or untrue, the fact remains that the messiah existed and performed his redemptive task and commemorate his birth during the Christmas season.
