I went through my elementary years, hearing all folks pronouncing my name, ru-bi-li. And as I stepped in and out in my freshmen to senior years, I had this call, ro-bel. This rooted when my Filipino prof asked a suggestion of how she would address me, well, there goes a spark and just to get a fame, I answered, robel. (same name of the heartthrob senior guy in school) Well, I guess, you can say my name now, very well.

An Epic Page
It was breaking dawn and I read this in my home page. It was originally posted in "My Life With God" page. I am struck by every words. I started my day teary-eyed. Full of hope and joy.
Here's the unedited texts.
By: My LIfe With God
Title: LOVE WILL FIND WORDS
You ought therefore never to forget God's presence, as most men do. Speak to Him as often as you can, for it does not tire Him, nor does He hold it contempt, as do great men of the world.
If you love Him, you will always have something to say to Him. Tell Him whatever comes to your mind about yourself and your affairs, as you would tell an intimate friend.Do not look upon Him as a high and mighty lord who desires to speak only to great ones -- and then, only of great things.
Our God delights in stooping down to converse with us, and He rejoices when we make known to Him our most trivial everyday affairs. Such as His love and care for you that He seems to have no one else but you of whom to think. He` is concerned with your interests that He seems to have no providence except to preserve you, no almighty power, except to help you, no mercy or kindness except to have compassion on you, to do you good and win you to His love and confidence by His kind attention.
Then freely open your heart for Him and ask Him to lead you to do His Divine Will in perfect manner. Let all your designs and desires be directed only toward knowing His good pleasure and gratifying His Divine heart.
"Bless God at all times, and desire of Him to direct thy ways, and that all thy counsels may abide in Him" (Tob 4:20).
Do not say "But why should make known to God all my needs, since He sees and knows better than I?" Surely, He does, but He acts as if He were not aware of the wants which you neglect to disclose to Him.
Lazarus was dead; yet He did not reveal the fact that He knew it until Magdalene told Him, and then He consoled her by raising her brother to life.
When, therefore, you are suffering from some sickness, temptation, persecution, or other trouble, go to Him at once and ask Him to reach out to you His helping hand. No sooner will you have put before His eyes your affliction by saying:
"Behold, O Lord, for I am distress..." (Lam.1:20)
then He will console you, or at least give you strength to suffer patiently the passing trial, and it will have been better for you to have had that trial than to have been delivered from it. Make known to God all feelings of sadness or fear that opress you, and say to Him:
" O my God, all my hopes are in You. I offer You this affliction and conform myself to Your Will. But have pity on me, and either deliver me from it or give me strength to suffer it."
And God will surely fulfill in you the promise He made in the Gospel always to console and comfort the afflicted when they have recourse to Him:
"Come to Me, all that labour, and are burdened, and I will refresh you."
(Matt. 11:28).
