My Gospel

This one's i got during one of the recollections I attended to in college..
I imagine that today is the last day of my life. I ask for writing materials and compose for my friends and loved ones a sort of testament, a gospel of my life. The points that follow are possible titles to the chapters of that gospel:

1. These things I have loved in life….
Things I tasted…and looked at…and smelt…and heard…and touched…
singing, reading everything, to act in plays, seas, morning breeze

2. These experiences I have cherished…
my encounter with people who have the same ideals and outlook in life and survival,
good times with my family(especially when Papa plays the guitar and Mama sings), staying at a boarding house, “appreciating the walls” (subject: IE design), joining rallies, falling in love

3. These ideas have liberated me…
everything is created with a purpose and that things exists to be appreciated

4. These convictions I have lived by…
that we are all entitled to our opinion

5. These things I have lived for…
the commitment that I’ll be a worthy person

6. These insights I have arrived at in the course of my life: insights into God, Christ, the world, human nature, love, prayer, religion…
that above all, we should be spiritually healthy; inner peace and contentment is achieved by making your life worthy through service to mankind and God.

7. These risks I have taken…
loving someone (w/all my heart, unmindful of my brain), “underground” activities

8. These sufferings have seasoned me…
Heartaches

9. These lessons life has taught me…
In order to survive, one has to be inane for a while.

10. These influences (persons, events, occupations, books…) have shaped my life…
Biographies, my family, the movie Little Women

11. These scripture passages have lit my path…
Those who exalt themselves shall be humbled; those who humble themselves shall be exalted

12. These things I regret about my life…
Not learning how to play the piano, not pursuing my love for writing,

13. These are my life’s achievements…
finishing my studies, good family, loyal friends, a beautiful daughter

14. These persons are enshrined in my heart…
My daughter Ira, my family, my friend Maru

15. These are my unfulfilled desires…
to be able to work for a cause (for the less fortunate children; the needy..)..It may be quite vague pero I really want to do this
