Today I could not go to Alaminos. I asked quite a number of times for it but my parents still won't allow me. I mean, I don't usually ask for things, but when I do it's turned down. And I think that's sad: sadder than not being able to go to Alaminos with my friends.

They say I'd get tired, but then if I always reason that out then I'd never get to travel. What kind of reason is that?

Well, no matter. Once I start working I won't have to ask permission. I won't even tell them. (There's no point in doing so)

There has been an issue about my co-scholars ranting on fb about the HR. They're all true, actually. But then this supervisor butts in and says it's not proper to say that and all. I think that's stupid, because they do not listen to criticism properly. What kind of employer is that? No wonder everyone is leaving. Granted, it's not a proper platform too. But the supervisor did not address that either; it's more of a power struggle. He simply asserted that "you owe us."

As for me, I will work as if working for the Lord, and not for men. That does not mean I will treat them as if they were God, for there is only one God and one Lord over all: Jesus the Christ. It only means that I will do my best, act justly, love mercy, walk humbly, and pray unceasingly to God that He will satisfy my thirst for righteousness. Commit all vengeance to Him, for it is His alone. It is not the Christian's job to avenge.

I believe that He will bring justice it swiftly.

And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?

Anyway, remember that "You [Pilate] could have no power at all against Me unless it had been given you from above." This of course applies to any authority. And should they also abuse and deliver me to the cross, God can raise me up from the dead and glorify me, just as He did to Jesus. I'm speaking figuratively of course, but it also works literally. (I am telling this to myself, obviously. There's no one to talk to here.)

It is a good thing that recently I have been constantly in reading the Bible and reducing time in useless things like LoL. This is all by the grace of God. I need to be even more committed and dedicated to the Word when I stay there alone.
