Today I Learned This

For those of you who have known me, you know I was raised as a Christian.

Catholic upbringing, Catholic Schooling, and have been a member of the Church Choir,
or Church Music Ministries for years. I was even an altar boy for most of my grade school days.
I was involved with my High School Brothers in a weekly Prayer Group for so long also.

And as you know, I have expressed my faith and belief on this site multiple times.
There is even an actual Category for Worship Music on my Chorus page.
Because that is my background. I grew up playing in Church and singing the songs.

Anyway, Easter is coming next week and usually by this time
I am already preparing for another song to add here.

(more…)

Speaking of appearances

What I hate so much is when people,
Joking or not, tell you about how you look.
Even worse, they tell you how to fix it too.

You’ve gained so much weight !!!!
Easy on the muffins there eh buddy?

You’re getting fatter everytime I see your picture.

“Oh my, you’re losing your hair.
Must be in your family’s genes.”

So what??
Big freakin’ deal.

Even my closest friends tell this to me in my face.
Well, I am sick of it.

Who the hell are you to shove this on my face.
You are no Tom Cruise!!

I think it’s just rude to tell somebody how they look.
It’s so judgemental.

I know it should not bother me, but the cup is full.
I was brought up not to make fun of anybody.
Or at least, find the good in everyone instead.

I even heard this comment once when I was looking for a job,
Lose some weight, no one hires a fat person.

Wow, talk about pressure.

At least, I got someone who loves me regardless of how I look.
And I have a handsome, cutest baby boy,
that I cherish and savour every moment I am with him.

I was created by my Lord’s image and likeness.
You don’t like what you see?
Go and ask Him.
He’d love to hear from you.
