Please read FEATURED GOSPEL: Matthew 5:38-48.
Minsan ‘di natin napapansin, ang “bitter” natin!
We don’t want to let go of the past kasi “doon”, may ginawa tayong hindi natin dapat ginawa.
May “pinanghihinayangan” tayo na until this very moment ay may mga natitirang tanong sa puso natin.
--mga tanong na nagpapahirap sa kalooban natin kaya pinipilit nating i-“fit-in” sa isip natin ang lahat ng “what if” sa mga ‘di natin nagawa pero dapat sana ay ginawa natin.
Kaya naman, it’s our tendency to believe that we can “start over again” with whatever there was in the past kasi this time, “gusto nating bumawi”!
It’s “what we believe in” that makes us determined to keep on working things out! Not only our eyes, but our heart is gazed on that goal to be “at our best” this time. – kahit na dumating pa sa point na nasasaktan na tayo at nakakasakit na din tayo ng iba.
In today’s gospel, Jesus laid down another “reward”:
44”But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you,45that you may be children of your heavenly Father, for he makes his sun rise on the bad and the good, and causes rain to fall on the just and the unjust.46For if you love those who love you, what recompense will you have? … 48So be perfect,* just as your heavenly Father is perfect. ”
If we will not realize na tayo yong “enemy at persecutor na ‘yon sa sarili natin”, we will keep on reading through … even memorizing the lines and memories that should already be “deleted” in our system which hinder us from really “moving on” with the best memories instead. We cause our own heart aches, we keep on allowing our “holding back” trends, to the point that we want to find ways to “un-love” so as to finally move-on.
Such a nice “twist” … “starting over again” with a love that’s beautiful and new!
“PSP” … “past is past” – never be BITTER about it! – kasi, without that one part of our history, we will never be BETTER today.
That chance na makapagsimula na wala nang natitirang tanong sa puso natin,
that enough “time” hanggang sa mapatawad natin ang sarili with whatever mistake/s …
… these would be the “best gifts” we could ever give to ourselves.
Let us increase our worship while we strive to “grow up” in our relationships – “this is loving in a different way”!
Start it Over Again from within! #sunset

Minsan ang hirap magsimula at maraming pagkakataon di rin natin alam kung saan tayo magsisimula pero pagnagawa na natin yung unang hakbang at napagtagumpayan ang mga sumunod pang proseso nakakaramdam tayo ng self-fulfillment at minsan pa nga ay ang walang katapusang pasasalamat sa mga taong naging parte ng ating paglalakbay at higit sa lahat sa Panginoon na kelanma'y di tayo pinabayaan.
Maraming pagkakataon nangyari ito sakin, mula sa mayabong na memories ng aking kabataan lalong lalo na sa pakikipagtungali upang maibigay sa aking mga magulang ang bawat handog ng pagsusumikap sa paaralan, ang bawat lebel mula sa elementarya hanggang sa hayskul ay mistulang pakikibaka for me to bring the bacon home, and I endured so much and made my parents proud.Ang sarap ng pakiramdam.
Meron din akong experience sa "starting over again' sa lovelife, hehe pero God is really amazing for bringing me the best person after that long time relationship, ang bitter ko nga ehhh dahil maraming bagay ang di ko naintindihan dati pero with all the things that God allowed me to experience after that relationship pakiramdam ko ako na ang pinakamasayang babae sa balat ng lupa for bringing the best man in my life, I endured and I feel so grateful. Meron pa, marami din akong "starting over again" sa career life ko, at sa bawat pagsisimula naging matatag ako dahil alam kong mas may magandang bukas ang naghihintay. Ang dami kong gustong gawin sa buhay ko, at marami ding pagkakataon na nananaig ang pagtulong sa iba for me to embrace one endeavor to another at higit sa lahat yung pakiramdam na dala nito -- MASAYA.
All the lessons learned for me to start anew inspires me in continuing life with a purpose. It made me who I am now with all the experiences I've been through with God's guidance and amazing love in different seasons, mahirap man ang pagsisimula trusting God's way make each endeavor meaningful. Ika nga, we should compete ourselves not others to make things successful and self-fulfilling.
It is hard to forget and let go of the past especially if we already build happy memories to share with.
It keeps on hunt us every time someone or something is reminding us of our past. Starting over again no matter how painful it is. This is like saying moving on. We cannot change the past, but we can use it to be our guide in the future.
I always think that god has a reason for everything, and god always wanted us to be safe and happy.
So I try to love my enemies, and I try to pray for them, even if plastic na kung minsan. Its hard to be true, its hard to be human..
A true man never leave an action when it is undone , but a real man knows how to give up or forget the things happen in the past. Sometimes the word bitterness indicates a pessimistic notion; relinquishing an unbearable situation, having another option to choose and feeling hopeless that you can't handle the condition. And often times it a sign of courage and toughness. In line with acceptance what happen in the past, it is recognizing your weaknesses ,limitation and faults. Forgetting the things happen in the past is like giving up someone special to you.
Life is straightforward when you have to choose between prudence and lavishness.it is how will you decided between what is best and what you think is really best. Starting over again is easier to say than done. Choosing one thing and giving up another thing. To sacrifice what is best towards what you deserve. Because we are responsible to every action that we do , certainly all action will reflect what we are and what we supposed to say and do.
The past or ang nakalipas this is the word that sometimes every one of us loves to reminisce minsan kahit masakit o masarap, but living in the past is different thing. For me what we do in the past is what we are now and what we will be tomorrow. Although we as humans we always makes mistake or hurt someone but be sure to ask forgiveness and forgive yourself for the things you have done or to closed the door or properly, if we have to close some relation do it and unfinished conversation. And the most important of all always learn from the past, do not forget it treasure it, in this way you will be wiser more braver and more intelligent. For me I thank all the people in my past for what I’m now.
MOVING ON is what we heard from people who experience heartaches and other sad experiences in life. and according to them its not an easy task to do.
But for me, it will be illustrated like a Storm example the "Tropical Depression Storm". it moves very slow and it takes how many days before it leaves our country. The longer they stay in a certain area, the more destruction it brings to place. In life, the more we stayed in our negative experiences, the more it will destroy our personality. And sometimes it will lead us to depressions, which will tend to hurt ourselves.
All what had happen to us is part of what we are today. All we have to do, is to keep the good memories within us, and the bad memories will be the Lesson Learned, and will not commit the same mistakes. Both of these experiences will make us stronger person and ready to face the beautiful future awaits us.
Being a fan, at first I was still hoping that the story will not end that way. But then when I saw the main characters moving on, I told myself, "Ako pa ba ang hindi makaka-move on?"
Applying to life, I myself did not end up with my own "Marco". I shed so many tears and frustrations asking why did it ever happen. It felt like a big part of me has vanished. But God was awesome! I didn't know that He was planning something so good for me that will make me appreciate life more. He sent me an angel, even named after his own Son, Jesus. This man showed me a different kind of love. It made me want to start my life over again. This time, with someone who appreciates me more and give me all the love in the world!
Who would have known that watching a two-hour movie will give you so many realizations? A chance to give yourself a new beginning, to forgive, to let go of the past and the hurts, to really move on and focus on what lies ahead!
Starting over again just like the movie I watched with my wife. In real life, sometimes I become bitter with the trials, frustrations, stress, failing exams etc. Sometimes I question God, why? But I have faith that all of these are just challenges that I will overcome in time. The chance is starting in yourself and move on to the next chapter for the preparation of a better life. That’s why I always pray to God for our guidance to lead us to the right path.
Sometimes it is easier for us to forgive others who wronged us than to forgive ourselves of the things that we did or mistakes we committed. No matter how hard it is, we should learn how to love our self more in order to live a meaningful life. We can not change the past but we have the power to correct the present in order to see a brighter future. Faith in God and in ourselves is what we need to overcome obstacles and to really move on. Starting over again with determination within ourselves.
How do we undone the past...
Is there a way to redo all the things in past and make it more favorable for us.
Or even just a simple though of rewinding the moments and allow your deepest instinct to correct such mistake in favor for own hapiness..
Letting go of the past is not an easy thing to do. We could not even sell our soul to anyone just to win our past over our future...
Faith can be our turning point to be with our source of destination which is somehow closest to truthfulness.
Acceptance will be our source of forgiveness to identify our own self- character.
Moving own is slways associated with our ability to step forward without looking at our back. We hold ourselves tight to lean forward while seeing ourselves crying without shedding any tears of pain. Though as we stand forward with our bare foot we can feel the intensity of courage within our body realizing that we overcome our fears. Fear of the unknown
People tend to live with the past because thier afraid to try. They see thier own self helpless without even trying..
Embrace your fear to fail but never forget to accept the fact that you will learn..
Let go.. let it go... you die million times but you live eternity.. because life is an infinite exchange of losing and winning.
You can only start all over again because .God gave you time to be on it. Time to cry
Time to laugh. Time to heal time to be the best of what you can be.
Be yourself
Despite of everything
Create your choice
Make a choice
And that is you..
You yourself and happy.
Life itself is hapiness.
Hapiness is seeing life
At the right time
At the place
With the right one
Because you yourself is the
Right one to be happy.
You deserve to live
You live because you deserve it.
Now is the perfect time to live
Perfect time to be you.
And life start now.
Yes
It's NOW
Or never...(pahabol)
Lol..
..........tapos may kakanta.... sana maulit muli... gary valenciano..... hahahaha...
Moving on pala tema.....bitter pa din.....
Sunlight na lang..... lea salonga....
Sisingit c gary shout for joy....
Perfect..
Thanks everyone... for everything for making me more positive in seeing my future with what hapiness is really all about...i will miss every moment i am with u. Thank you for making my legacy more meaningful
Cheers....

In every person's life, there is and will always be something to regret. Yung feeling na sana di nalang pala, or puwede bang iba nalang, or minsan, puwede kayang palitan. But what ever it is that we have right now, it always has its divine purpose. Be it positive or negative, we have to open our eyes and heart to look for the brighter side. In that manner, we may live a happy life by God's grace. There is a very popular saying na ginagamit sa sports. "It's not about winning or losing, it's how you play the game" Sa totoong buhay, very applicable tong line na ito. Because we have our ups and downs but what matters is how much we rise up every time we fall. Kaya may mga regrets man, pinanghihinayangan or may mga gusto tayong palitan, we should have that desire in our heart that in whatever situation we are now, there is always a spot where we can start a new. And that is within us. Let's have a change in perspective about life from bad to good, from dark to light and from sadness to happiness kasi hanggang di ganun gagawin natin, there is always that force that will hold us back. Sayang naman db????
When we find our-self on the ground,
Let's pick our-self up and don't look around.
Let's not lost our confidence if we slip,
Just be grateful on the pleasant trip.
When in this life we make mistakes,
And wonder how did we get into the mess;
Let's Just come to the Father and confess,
For He is just to forgive our trespasses.
So let us be grateful for our fall,
Because of it we learn to be humble.
Let us listen to the still small voice,
Who give us warning but give us a choice.
When we fall into great puddle of trouble,
Arise, flea, and don't make double trouble.
So, Let us take a deep breath,
When we stumble and slip.
Pick our-self up, and dust our-self off,
This is what we should do, when we fall off...
Regain, arise, get up, begin,
Try and start all over again.
ADELFA TEOXON PALMA
We all have weaknesses. At times we do commit mistakes in our lives specially when it comes to decision making, inside our home, career, relationship, etc.... Definitely trial will come..but one thing in life that we must not to forget is to have repentance, be positive always, and we need to move on. We need to press forward not backward. Lets be valiant enough to overcome such trials in life. Be patient in all afflictions and have that endurance. Love yourself!!! Love God and have faith in him..I know that God give us weaknesses that we may be humble enough. Making that weak things become strong in us all.
"Starting over again" is a nice movie. After watching it, i found out that Patty and I are almost the same, in a way that she is a secure woman in a relationship that is being challenged. Patty turns out to be kind and smart. She also consistently puts substance to her critical character as a sophisticated and polished.
Someday, we'll forget the hurt, the reason we cried and who caused us pain. We will finally realize that the secret of being free is not revenge, but letting things unfold in their own way and own time. After all, what matters is not the first, but the last chapter of our life which shows how well we ran the race. When it seems you can't forgive, remember how much you've been forgiven. So smile, laugh, forgive, believe and love all over again. :)
Sabi nga nila PAST is PAST….pero bakit my bitter pa din, my what if’s pa din, still asking “do we have a second chance??” or my hoping moment p din, may panghihinayang pa din or better yet asking How do undone the past.
Kaya when I have to start over again sabi ko sa sarili ko I need to let go and need to learned the lessons and acceptance of moving on. I’m glad that I found the good in Goodbye.
Mahirap, masakit, maraming proseso, matagal, pero kailangan mong gawin kailangan magmove on to the next chapter of what God’s plan for us.
Don’t waste your time looking back at what you have lost. Move on, life is not meant to be traveled backwards.
Sometime the wrong choices bring us to the right places.
You’re never too OLD, never too BAD, never too LATE, never too SICK, to START from the SCRATCH once again. STARTING ALL OVER AGAIN IS NOT THAT BAD, because when you restart, you get another chance to make things right. Or maybe it’s not always about trying to fix something broken. Maybe it’s about starting over and creating something better. You will begin to HEAL when you let go past hurts, forgive those who have wronged you and learn to forgive yourself for your mistake. Think of it GOD is preparing and rebuilding to make you stronger, making you more wiser and putting what deserves for you.
Hi! TERE here
its not easy to start over again, I don't know how, been through this pain, for a decade I've been waiting, and finally I realize its not worth fighting for, the person I thought my best friend, I invest time, love him unconditionally, never learn to appreciate my sacrifice and never learn to love me back. But what can I do is to accept things its over and beyond, I must go on and moving on is not an overnight process, though it hurts me so much I used that to motivate my self to be tough and strong, I want to travel, explore the world and live with purpose.
Moving on is really a big word...
if we look at the different challenges in life.... its really frustrating... but the good thing is the new day will always come.. new day which mean to start again..
as what the bible says in Isaiah 43.. forget the old things, do not dwell on the past so that we could see what the Lord is doing in our lives.
Bago ko nag,sulat inisip ko muna kung English ba o Tagalog yung gagawin ko? Naisip ko tagalong na lang para masabi ma-express ko yung lahat ng sasabihin ko.
Mahirap magsimula ulit. Lalo na kung malayo na narating at nalakad mo..Parang 1,000 kilometers na ang nilakad mo pagkatapos naisip mo na bumalik kasi may naiwanan kang importanteng bagay. Sino ba naman ang masisiyahan sa ganun di ba?
In short, mahirap magsimula ng panibago. Lalo na kung buong buhay binigay mo para lang makuha yun, tapos mawawala lang ng ganun. It would take some time to clear things out. “Time could tell” sabi nga. Pero may magagawa ba tayo kung ang mga bagay na yun ay nangyari na? All we can say is” sana ganito na lng, sana ganun na lang”. Kaso nga di natin nagawa. Natapos na lahat bago mo pa maisipan na gawin.
But be thankful for those things that happened in your life. It maybe good or bad. Pasalamat na lang tayo kung magagandang bagay yung mga nangyari sa’tin. Paano kung di naman maganda??
Panigurado iilan lang magpapasalamat right on the spot na nangyari ang bagay na di maganda. Kahit naman ako eh, magpapasalamat ka ba kung nasaktan ka??Dati di ko naisip yun . Pero nung ok na ang lahat, naisip ko na everything happens for a reason. My ibang plano pa pala si God sa atin kaya niya tayo binigyan ng ganung trials in life. We are not this brave and confident if God didn’t give us some trials in life that we cannot surpass. So I am still thankful. Naisip ko na magsimula ulit ng panibago hindi lang para sa sarili ko , kung di para din sa iba at para din sa KANYA.
Letting go of the past is not easy to do but with God's help it is possible. I want to be unchained by the ugly past that kept reminding my weakness. Only the enemy wants us to be enslaved by the past and be blind to what God's plan is. I cannot undo events that already occurred but rather make the most of the time that I have now to be productive and error free with God's grace.
I have several what if's in my life but I left them in God's feet because I know it is not important that I fail but how I stand up from those mistakes is the essence of all my experiences. Learning the valuable lesson and moving on, never repeating the same trap that falter me is the driving force to say that I'm not enslave in my past.
Let it go to the Lord... that's the only thing that I can do.
Thank you Lord!
What Ifs’ are turned into I wish and can turn into I dream..
Are you going to press that BUTTON
so you could start all over again?
I admit na madami akong what if and buts.. Minsan pa nga eh I wish and I dream na..
But suddenly I realized that
I have a lot of regrets in the past like what if hindi ako nagasawa agaid, what if ibang course ang kinuha ko.. pero kalaunan I have realized that there is something that I didn't possess, and that is ACCEPTANCE
Acceptance is the hardest part of failure, and the start of the new beginning.
Acceptance is the what I need to forget the past, keep on living today, and moving on to the future. Acceptance of what is reality.
Acceptance is what we need to start all over again from within.
Acceptance is the last part of a defeat/failure, the saddest part when closing chapter of our life, and the start of the new beginning.
Don’t Fight Back
Do we have a friend, classmate, acquaintance or loved ones that gets on our nerves? Maybe we have someone who makes or lives hard for us!
Jesus told us that we should be nice, not only to our friends but to the people who are mean to us. If we were kind only to our friends then, we really wouldn’t be any different than everybody else. One good way to show that we love GOD is to love others, even the ones who are hard to get along with.
Nobody is perfect. So, unfortunately, there will always be someone around who bugs us or makes us mad! Instead of giving that person a dirty look or a mean insult, surprise that person with KINDNESS!
Jesus gives us this commandment: “ Love each other just as much I love you” Wow! When you think of how much Jesus loves us, that seems almost impossible!
Thankfully, Jesus never gives us rules that are impossible to obey. In this instance,, we just have to understand what JESUS meant by the word love.
Some people think that love is a warm, fuzzy feeling that just comes naturally!. But loving others isn’t that easy. Most of the time we have to make the decision to act kindly toward others. If we hang around waiting for warm, fuzzy feelings to appear, we maybe waiting for a long time!
Make the choice to be kind to others, even when you don’t feel like it. You may surprise yourself – after you do nice things for others, those loving feelings might show up after all!
Cheer up and smile to GOD saying “ Here am I LORD, use me as a channel of your blessing to others. Use me mightily for your glory alone coz I can do nothing without you in my life. Start the change and the new beginning within me….let your light shines before me and your name be glorified….
