Dear Manny,



Thank you for all the glory you've given our country.  No matter what, you are a legend.

Thank you for rising up to the call, giving your countrymen something to look forward to in every fight you've had in the international ring uniting us all even for just a day---watching you, cheering for you.


Thank you for using the fame to benefit a lot of your poor countrymen, helping them however you can. Instead of keeping it all to yourself, Heaven knows the generosity you've extended to the needy ones.

Thank you for taking the opportunity to speak openly for God and spreading His Word.  It was so courageous of you.  You are an inspiration to many of your countrymen.

And now that someone else has taken the title that used to be yours, you are given a different kind of opportunity to inspire us all the more:  Submission to God's Will.


We know not what His plans for each of us are.  We only need to submit ourselves to wherever God is leading us.  His time, not ours. 

You're probably subjected now into 'trials', who knows.  Everybody does anyways.  Specially when one becomes so vocal and active in spreading the Good News.  Just stay put.  Or, maybe, had you won that fight, you might start threading the path of arrogance just like some famous boxers did, only to suffer shame later on, one way or the other, before the eyes of the whole world.  Maybe God is protecting you from traveling that path for you are so precious to Him and would do everything to protect you.

God loves you so much, you will be just fine.

There's a time for everything.  Even the Bible says that.  You will know when its time to stop fighting.  And when you do, stop.  You do not need to prove anything to your countrymen anymore.  You have already done it.  And we believe in you.  No matter what.

Take Away My Freedom

TAKE AWAY MY FREEDOM (by Lea Maria) Take away my freedom, O Lord, the freedom to turn my back on You. Take away my freedom, O Lord, the freedom to hurt You. Take away my freedom, O Lord, the freedom to hurt and be indifferent. Take away my freedom, O Lord, the freedom not to love as You have loved me. Take away my freedom, O Lord, the freedom to live just for myself. Take away my freedom, O Lord, the freedom to be deaf and blind to the needy. Take away my freedom, O Lord, the freedom to waste the time that is meant for You. Take away my freedom, O Lord, the freedom to ignore You when I know I heard Your call. I don't need these freedom, I don't want these freedom. Take away instead my life if my existence will be filled by these. For I only want to serve You and love You and glorify You. All the days of my life, O Lord, I belong to You.

SEWA Application in Sharjah - Bachelor Tenants

Just this August, 2023, we moved to Muwailah Commercial, the New Muwailah. Coming from Old Muwailah with monthly rental tenancy, the application for SEWA for an annual tenancy is new for us. The office of our new place required us to process SEWA on our own. That means connection for water, electricity, and gas are all our part. From the office instructions, everything seemed to be very easy. And so I thought. Until I started the legwork! One thing was common from all the departments I was asked to go to: all their answers to my questions varied from person to person! They differ in their responses! Just when the officer you are talking to tells you that you only need this and that paper to present to the next department, you’d be surprised that the next department will ask something else instead! So. Tons of patience, so I thought. But for all of you who landed on my page and are really in need of some guidance, well, here’s your lucky day! Am not gonna let you experience what I...

I Almost Left the Catholic Church

The Holy Spirit stopped me.  Since last year, time after time, I read news about our highest shepherd doing things that are against my core belief, things that I felt are being twisted, being made sound complicated to understand yet only to lead to wrong things.  Such is blessing relationships in sin...how can a sin be blessed, I asked myself. It is just wrong and I will not accept this. Needless to say, I am scandalized. I had to contemplate. This month, God led me to Armenia.  I saw the Armenians preserved their faith, and Christian practices in the Church. I have witnessed how sacred they still keep the traditions. I wanted to become part of that. I had to contemplate more. I asked the Lord to help me make the right decision that night when I came home from Armenia. In my heart, I will start looking for the church here in my community, the Orthodox Christian church. Sabbath day came. I attended my Sunday Mass. I thanked God for having brought me to Armenia and learned...
