September Calendar
Hilumin Mo
Just three days before he was due to graduate from college, my friend Raymund was detained for seven years, accused of a murder he never comitted. Instead of succumbing to depression, he taught his inmates math, grammar, reading and writing. He even wrote a book regarding the national criminal justice system. He found himself and his God.
I can identify myself with him when I was confined in a small room due to sickness. I felt the whole gamut of sorrows of the human heart. These raw feelings came as I learned to let go of my old notion that God would take in against me for being so inquisitive. Painting Him led me to believe that He is with me despite His seeming absence. As I painted this youth in jail, it was as though I was looking at myself in a mirror.
A Quick Peek into Winkie's World

Nagulat ako at akala ko talaga eh kwento mo ito. Mabuti na lang nakita ko yung link sa baba.
Nakakalungkot din ang kwento pero maganda ang nangyari sa loob.
Hindi. Ang akala ko ay ikaw ang nagsulat at patungkol ito sa isa mong kaklase. Pasensiya na kung naguluhan ka ha.
Sikret lang natin. Pero ikaw nga ba ang nakulong. biro lang 🙂
Mukhang napakasaya ng inyog EB. Nakita ko na yung mga litrato niyo sa FB.

Raymund’s story is truly inspiring. And the title is very comforting. again, thanks for sharing Ms Winkie. 🙂
Eto ang inaabangan ko every month dito eh. 🙂
Parang si Paul diba? While he was in jail, nagppreach pa din sya sa mga jailguards. This only means na kahit anu pang situation ang meron tayo, let’s make the mos out of it and use it for God’s glory.
God bless you, Ate Winkie! 🙂
Your friend is one cool dude. – an inspiration. God bless him!

Well, some of your readers might be reading.. reading the first part through the end part. But not me, because I listen.
Right? We should comment in English, right? Haha. Because we did not know where territorial state your readers are. Probably in Cuba, in United States and whereelse?
(Er, I am out of topic again.)
amp. nosebleed.
Nyahaahahahhaah
salamat kagabi. 🙂
ang liit talaga ng mundo 😀
I like the painting the best. It’s like the story of “Footprints in the Sand”
When the boy thought that God abandoned him already because he only sees one set of footprints, he was surprised that it was the footprints of God carrying him already.
padaan po ms winkie! =)
nakaka inggit nman nag kita kita na kayo. 😦 haaay!!! kay tagal pa akong mag hihintay sa GEB. putek! 2011 pa kasi uwi ko! grrrrrr

HAHAHAHAHHA

padaan po ulit. hehehe. 😀
be safe always!
Nice entry… Joey Velasco is indeed a gifted man… I once entered his exhibit here in SM City Cebu and I came out of the exhibit filled with grace… There was session with him that day and he delivered a talk about his life and his passion… To my surprise he singled me out of the group… And he said I looked like an artist…
After the talked, I lined up for him to sign some posters of his paintings… In exchange I also gave a signed photograph from me – a low-light picture of the second Mactan Bridge…
Painting Him led ME to believe that He is with me despite His seeming absence.
bumalik talaga ako para patunayang nabasa ko to… ang hindi ko lang nabasa ung name ni joey velasco… hahahaha
galing naman nun nabilanggo
