she truly touched my heart..!!! (HOPE YOU READ THIS....!!!!)

last Saturday when we were having our deaf ministry...we bumped in to a house with a 17yr old girl named Diana..Diana is not only deaf, but also blind...!!it really touched my heart to see her in that condition, her mother told us that when she was just 3months old, she was diagnosed with rheumatic heart and, take note, overdosed with wrong medication...which caused her really ill situation now...

in her dark soundless world, lies an innocent young lady(should i say)....with her eyes who never have seen this violent, obscene world... with ears,that never heard the sad realities of life...!!!!

with the fact that i once had a rheumatic heart when i was born but fortunately got the rigth medication.....i can't help but think... "what if im in her shoe?what kind of world would i be living?is that a world, better than what i have now?no problems?no worries?or is that a world full of 'what ifs'?what if i can see..?what if i can hear.??what is the world really like..??or would her world be a world no one would ever want to have?"

so many questions running in my mind...she just really touched my heart...!!!

it has been a long tiring day...!!!

todaaay has been a long tiring saturday..!!

i woke up early this morning, fixed my bed(the usual morning rituals and all...), went to the Kingdom Hall (church of the Jehovah's Witnesses) for the meeting before our feild service...huh...would you beleive we (me and my cousin te jewel) where the early bird, we were the first to arrive...!!!hahahaaa for the first time in history..!!! if you have read my older post, i said that i am always late in every thing...!!!hahaha truly record breaking..!!!hihihi

we went to 36, upper calarian for our deaf search...30 minutes ride from our place...we paid 13pesos to the jeepney we hired, "pakyaw", that is what we call it...sad to say we haven't found a ny deaf-mute person...

for lunch we ate at kuya Archie's house....who sponsored opur lunch every saturday for 4weeks now...thanx alot to his family specially to nanay(MOM), and tatay(DAD)....who extended their roof and material food for us....

after our lunch, we went to Tumaga to visit Beverly, a deaf bible study of ate jewel...we paid 50pesos to the tricycle in which we rode...it was about 20mins ride from upper calarian...her place is located in a slum area, but we see to it that somebody can go and visit her once in a week...

going back to the Kingdom Hall for our Congregation Book Study (CBS), we first rode a tricycad...and walked the rest of the way...we passed by a hanging bridge about 500meters long, with no hand bars anymore, but it was still safe to use i think...

our CBS finished by 5pm...then JM and Kuya archie (both signers) went to our house to check ate jewel's laptop....and more things happened...

well, to cut the long story short....it was a really long tiring day..!!!

visiting the deafies...

ive learned sign language 3 years ago....as one of the Jehovah's Witnesses its a part of our preaching work to go and make disciples....

one of our goals is helping them to learn sign language(for the illiterate) and most specially to help them know the true god, Jehovah and to help them do His will...

maybe its one of their culture that they really appreciate people who could communicate with them, you can really feel the warmth as you try get to know them...as they see you coming they'll run to you and hug you, specially illiterate onse...maybe because they can only find a few who can understand what they want to say....

another thing is that, deafies know almost all the deaf in town...yes, even if they leave far apart but they know each other...and they usually, frequently visit each other's house...

i just hope all people are warm like the deafies...then i think everyone will have the whole town people as their friends...
