Hello po! I'm an upcoming college student, and I want to take the course Microbiology. Currently CavSU Indang plang po ang nakikita ko pong maayos-ayos daw, and I want more universities to apply on. Can anyone please suggest me more schools/universities that offers a Micriobiology course? Thank you!
Hello, I'm a senior high school student, who is frustrated because of my own mistake. Recently, I got this friend (We aren't really friends anymore, and let's call him, C.) we immediately got really close together, because we were classmates, and I even considered him as my best friend. And in the span of just one year, we already went through a lot, petty arguments, being there for each other, all those stuff. I really believed that I would never cut our friendship, even if it gets rough. Until, that's what I thought.
During our final exam, we weren't really in good terms, because I was too busy with my academics and he was going through something—negativity was probably eating him—but I am an academic freak. So I really wasn't available at that time to talk to him deeply, because I want to achieve better grades. Anyway, we weren't sitting next to each other, but I kept glancing on him just to see how he was doing. At the same time, I am also talking to my seatmates who were also my friends, we were having a good time. And this is an important detail—I have a loud voice, not because I want to be loud, because I am—probably since birth, I have a strong, powerful, loud voice. And I get a lot of hate because of that, they find it annoying, but really I'm trying my best everyday to tone it down, because I'm sick of the repeated words they say, but practice takes time.
Anyhow, because of my 'loud' voice, I have bullies in the class where they make fun of my voice, they don't really affect me, since I've been through that countless times. Up until one of my friend told me that, C. Was tagging along with them. He was trying—well in my perspective—trying to fit in with those bullies. I was so heartbroken, because when my friend told me that. I gave him a letter thanking him for being my best friend for the entire school year. I cried and due to frustation, I messaged him, fully on the side of my friend who told me that he was "backstabbing" me, but she wasn't sure, since it's just a rumor that she just heard. Even though my friend wasn't sure, I still told him that I'm tired of him, tired of giving him advice, etc etc. and at the very end of the message I said "F*ck You." And I immediately blocked him, I did not even let him explain his side, I did not even told him what was my problem.
I want to talk to him again. But I just can't get over the fact that, I'm the one who cut him off, and now I'm also going to be the one crawling back. The guilt is eating me, that it has been affecting my mental health in the past few weeks.
The guilt is growing stronger, due to the fact that we will meet again due to school. And I wouldn't handle the awkwardness, it would be suffocating. Each day that passes, the guilt is putting more and more pressure. Which is making me scared every day to reach out to him. And my frustration is not even helping as well. Being frustrated is making me regret that I didn't message him today, which fuels my guilt.
For the ranters that read till the end, I hope that you will never experience this situation. Thank you so much for listening to my rant.
Hello! This post is like a question and a rant all at the same time. And please! Emphasis on "some", because I am not saying that every believers/followers are like this. I know there are better believers, like this subreddit and the community here! I just wanted to rant this, because I can finally vent this out on the right community.
During my high school years I made friends with a group of girls, with one I am the closest with. And she was a follower of Christ, she even serves church.
She also likes to randomly drop her experience with Him and give life advice relating to Him. At first I was happy that I got a friend where I got to talk openly about God (I didn't have friends that time, where I'm comfortable talking about Him, due to conflicts on beliefs etc.), it's also nice to know these life advices since they are really helpful.
But after sometime (Fast forward), she was using me without me knowing. I am an academic achiever student, where I've been a leader for almost every single subjects I have, and I've also been an organizer for events in our school. While she (Not trying to say anything in a bad way, because she, herself told me this) was lazy and had too much going on with her life, from her family, her boyfriend, etc. So as her close friend, I always helped her when she asked for help, sometimes I even stay up late just to help her achieve an academic award.
Until, this is where I knew that she was using me, during a school event (food bazaar), we were on the same group, and I was leader for that group. But she acted like she was the leader. I was not having it, because she kept yelling at my other members and telling them to do this and that. And when I finally catched my breath because I was making our product, I asked her to get more ingredients, and she did with half of my members, because she simply believed that it would be better if they were many.
That's when one of my friend told me, that she was saying all those mean stuff behind my back. "I am not a good leader." "I don't help my member." etc. etc. She did this long before, I've only been informed by it just weeks before our school year ends.
I was so heartbroken, because I never expected her to do this, especially since she is a 'follower' of Christ, and she again, serves church.
That's when I realize, the same people who went with her to grab more ingredients, were also followers of Christ who also serves church, but they were also saying stuff behind my back.
And ever since that day, we got into a heated argument while crying my eyes out, I confronted her and she had this guilt on her face, but she didn't say anything, I only stopped because we were on a public space, so the school staff stopped me.
And because of this, my perspective on people who serves church or believers of Christ is now full of anxiety and/or hesitation. Because, I also have this one story, but I'll probably post it soon, since this is already long. And yes no fictional story happened here, this is all real and was experienced by me lol.
But I try to believe that maybe they just weren't taking Christ at heart, but who am I to judge. I just hope that God bless them, and even though they did me so wrong, I forgive them.
The real question is do some believers/followers really get prideful? Just because they are serving Him everyday or every sunday?
I don't go to church so maybe I don't know the feeling, because my parents won't let me go outside for safety reasons, and the closest church is somewhat far away from my home. (I don't blame them though don't get me wrong)
Another, do they not feel guilty for their wrong doings?
I still have a lot of questions since I am a very curious person, but I'll just cut it here. Thank you for listening/reading!
Hello! Can you guys suggest any romance or psychological books? Fiction or non-fiction will do as well. I'm just lining/stocking up books to read, so I can easily move from one to another. I am also open for any genre's that you guys may suggest, but I prefer Romance or any Psychological (Horror, Thriller, etc.) books!
Hello! As the title suggests, can anyone suggest me any romance or psychological books. I'm currently stocking or lining up books, so I can easily go from one book to another. I added "preferably" because I am also open to other genre's that you guys may suggest! Thank you!
I know for a fact that I believe in Christ and He loves us very much. But, I've been having a crisis where currently, I am reading a Dark Romance book or Romance with vulgar words. And it doesn't feel right for me to read it, but I am also learning a lot from the books that I read. (Not in a lustful way, but learning what I want my life and partner to be.)
Though I do not read it every day, because I usually read it at night since it's quiet and I can focus, and I also read the Bible at night as well. (Same reason)
I just cannot stop reading it. Maybe it's a temptation that God is testing me every day that I should stop this reading Dark Romance or 18+ Romance hobby.
Have you guys ever been in a situation like this? And please let me know what to do, even if you guys don't have the experience on this, I still want your opinion about this experience of mine.
(PS: The book I'm currently reading is "It Ends With Us" by Colleen Hoover; I also pray about this to Him, because I do not have friends to openly talk about religious matters/beliefs, since they aren't really a follower or a believer.)
As the title suggests, I feel like or I am unclean. Because I've sinned today and in the last 3 weeks I've sinned as well. Being tempted to do lustful things is something that is very hard to stop. And I'm not someone who is just a random person trying to stop temptations, no. I read the Bible everyday (currently on a 2 or 3 month streak.) and I also read devotions and reflect on what I've learned. I use the app Threads to dump all of the Bible verses and statements/phrases that impacted me the most. Most of the time they are quotes that talks about how to avoid lust and how to stop myself from temptations. And I pray every day and every night, for Him to give us strength and protection etc.
I'm not saying they do not work, because there are times where I can go on a whole month without lusting, but still, I still Lust. And I hate the fact that I still do. Because, I genuinely want to stop this and I genuinely don't like this feeling at all. In the past I've always told myself that God will forgive me and I'll do better next time, but it just feels like I'm on a endless cycle of lusting.
I wanted to share or post these thoughts, because it has been bothering me for quite some time now, and I have no friends to talk about this openly, since they really aren't that much of a follower or a believer of Christ, and I don't want to be that friend who makes them feel like I am forcing them to believe Him.
In other words, do you guys have any advices to share? Any verses or devotions? Because I really don't know what to do about this.
