I LOVE YOU NO MORE


Hopeless days, desperate moments,
you were there making me confident.
I treasure the love you share,
In sadness, you always care.


I gave no love; I gave no feeling at all
Your love for me is insurmountable.
You came and I wasn’t there,
You saved me and I didn’t care.
                                                          

Sleepless nights, I don’t think of you
In time of gladness, I don’t remember you.
Despite the love you tend
I don’t love you ‘till the end.


You grieved waiting for love in return,
no more, no more… you were torn.
You did everything but me, I did nothing
I am just thankful for everything.


Let me go, I can’t give you back.
I never did, I didn’t make you glad.
I’m sorry, What I am for?
 Just let it here, I love you no more.

Don't give up.....

      One day I decided to quit...
      I quit my job, my relationship, my spirituality. .. I wanted to quit my life.
      I went to the woods to have one last talk with God.
       "God", I asked, "Can you give me one good reason not to quit?"
      His answer surprised me...
      "Look around", He said. "Do you see the fern and the bamboo?"
       "Yes", I replied.
      "When I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I took very good care of them.
       I gave them light.
       I gave them water.
      The fern quickly grew from the earth.
       Its brilliant green covered the floor.
       Yet nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo.
      In the second year the Fern grew more vibrant and plentiful.
      And again, nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo. He said.
      "In year three there was still nothing from the bamboo seed.
       But I would not quit.
       In year four, again, there was nothing from the bamboo seed. I would
      not quit." He said.
        "Then in the fifth year a tiny sprout emerged from the earth. Compared
       to the fern it was seemingly small and insignificant. ..But just 6
        months later the bamboo rose to over 100 feet tall.
        It had spent the five years growing roots. Those roots made it strong and gave it what it needed to survive.
       I would not give any of my creations a challenge it could not handle."
      He asked me. "Did you know, my child, that all this time you have been struggling, you have actually been growing roots".
       "I would not quit on the bamboo.
      I will never quit on you."
      "Don't compare yourself to others."
      He said.
      "The bamboo had a different Purpose than the fern.
       Yet they both make the forest beautiful."
      "Your time will come", God said to me.
       "You will rise high"
      "How high should I rise?"
       I asked.
      "How high will the bamboo rise?" He asked in return.
      "As high as it can?" I questioned.
      "Yes." He said, "Give me glory by rising as high as you can."
      I left the forest and brought back this story.
      I hope these words can help you see that God will never give up on you.
      Never, Never, Never Give up.
      For the Christian Prayer is not an option but an opportunity.
      Don't tell the Lord how big the problem is,
      tell the problem how Great the Lord is!

Claret Seminary Search-In

The Search-In Candidates (Dec. 27-30, 2001 Search-In)
St. Anthony Mary Claret Seminary
A Call from St. Anthony Mary Claret

Claret Seminary Orientation Search-In
December 27-30, 2001
St. Anthony Mary Claret College Seminary
Brgy. Culiat, Tandang Sora, Quezon City

This event of my life happened almost a decade ago. During this time, I was about to respond to God's call for me, maybe to serve Him, and other people as well. It is in this Search-In that I have to verify what's being asked for me by the Lord.

I have gained friends from this Search-In. They are long-lost friends of mine for we do not see each other for the longest time. I couldn't forget witty Alex and Cesar, the Linkin' Park fanatic Marc Rojano (Naga), my roommate Reiner Porto (Laguna), Edsel (I have seen him in Megamall wayback 2007), Maxcell Tabangcora (Quezon), Gil Manalo (Sariaya, Quezon), Jeff Garchitorena (Naga), John Marco Mercado (Butuan City), Carlos Ceasar Cruz, Oswald Duran, Jake Hidalgo (La Union), Wylmond San Juan, Fr. Lito, Fr. Mau, Fr. Blanco & Mrs. Wilma Sako. All of them were very accommodating that time. They have made a spark in my life that I really treasure until now. To all of them, Thank you very much for gracing an important event in my life. I really miss our bonding. I hope to see you again one of these days though we'ere contacting few from us through Facebook.

With these 3 and a half days encounter with the Lord, I came to live along with God's teachings and examples. It's not necessary to be a Priest or a servant just to become sacred and be with the Lord. As long as you are doing things right with God's empowerment, you'll be one of Christ's good followers. I have sinked this in my mind and in my heart with God giving me ways of Christian Living.

"Lord, you have searched my heart
and you know where I sit and when I stand.
Your heart is upon me,
protecting me from death, keeping me from harm."

Fr. Alvin's 7th Priestly Anniversary

"I am a servant according to the gift of God's grace."
God's gift of Grace

May 14, 2011 – This is a great day for our family as we celebrate the 7th Priestly Anniversary of our elder brother FR. ALVIN ABERION. We are blessed that a member of our family is wholeheartedly serving the Lord with insurmountable sacrifices.  I myself feel blessed for having a brother like him who consoles each one of us, to his parishioners as well.  We are glad that he is with the Lord happy and contented. My parents, brothers and sisters are deeply praying that he will continue to serve God with all his heart and passion.

Thank you Manong Alvin for all the kindness and love you are sharing with us.
