On Wowowee and God’s Plan For Each of Us

I don’t watch Wowowee but, sometimes my housemate and even my sister does. Sometimes when they are watching, I get to see bits and portions of the show, usually when I am eating a meal with them. I don’t like the show and I usually get irritated with the host and all the “dramatics” that the people there show.

In spite of this fact however, there is this one instance when an old lady named Aling Lourdes made me involuntarily cry.

On "The Alpha and Omega of Friendship"

I don't quite agree with the last paragraph of this:

This made me laugh. . .

On Having Another Non-Writers’ Block

I have another paper due on the 14th of this month. That's about two days from now.

I don't know if it's my so-called depression but, I'm finding great difficulty in getting myself to sit down, think about my paper, and much more to actually start typing away. 

I hate this. I just want that paper finished and turned in by tomorrow so I could have a worry-free Sabbath. 

Somebody say a prayer for me, please?  

On Being Depressed

I was told that according to page 207 of the Modern Medical Guide:

"Depression may satisfy a subconscious need for personal attention or sympathy."

Well, lately I've been "feeling the blues." So I figured I must be depressed. Hmmm. That's not quite a welcome thought (the possibility that I am depressed). But, at least it breaks the monotony my life seems to be in for the time being. 

I'm not really the "type" who gets depressed much, or for long. Food and the company of well-meaning friends are enough to soothe my injured spirit.

Hmmm. I guess the book defined depression correctly then. 

Of late my mind seems to have no focus, with my thoughts bouncing around different subject matters–from the most trivial to the most profound concerns of life. Is this a symptom of depression?

I've been juggling thoughts about forgiveness, anger,  PLDT (how their service absolutely sucks!), my Ethics-Orgbep paper, how stressful Refresher is, etc., etc., etc.

You'll probably notice my thoughts aren't very coherent right now.  Depression, I guess.

It seems like for the nth time of my life I'm wishing I could turn back time and redo certain things. I wonder why God didn't make a rewind button for time?

At least reading about different Bible characters and their restoration to grace is very uplifting. I mean, if God could forgive all their many "bloopers" in life, which seem so much greater than mine (at least in the eyes of human beings), then I'm sure He could and would forgive me mine. I just hope people would be more like God and be more forgiving, too. 

I tell you, depression sucks terribly. Anybody got tips on how I can pull myself out of this gutter?
