Lovestruck. . . bakit ko nga ba binili ang librong ito kahit alam kong kapos na ako sa pera ngayong bakasyon at sapat na lang ang pera ko pang DotA ng isang linggo.

siguro dahil sa nakasulat sa title nang libro na "Love Mo Siya, Sure Ka Ba?" at sa back cover na
"Kendisbilab?
Yan ang laging mong tinatanong sa sarili mo. Everytime you feel yoursel falling for someone, you always wonder if it's the real thing. Paano nga ba malalaman kung siya ang THE ONE?"

nasapul ako dun sa nakasulat na yun dahil yun din madalas ang tanong ko sa sarili ko.

Natatawa ako sa sarili ko. Bakit nga ba ako interesadong malaman kung siya na nga? Siya na nga kaya? hahahahaha tara na nga basahin ko na.

Pero laking taka ko dahil habang binabasa ko yung libro napansin kong puro galing sa bibliya ang laman nito, at naalala ko pastor nga pala ang nagsulat nito. Tips lang, kung gusto mong mas maintindihan ang libro basahin mo to nang may kasamang bibliya sa tabi mo.

Nakakatuwa lang dahil habang binabasa mo ito, talagang mag iisip ka ng isa, dalawa o tatlong tao na inihahalintulad sa mga deskripsyon na ibinibigay nang may akda, at siguradong matutuwa ka dahil pilit mong ikukumpara ang sarili mo sa mga sinasabi ng libro at pilit mong isinasali ang sarili sa mga sitwasyong pumupukaw nang interes mo .

Laking tuwa ko din dahil habang binabasa ito, lagi kong kinakausap ang sarili ko, tinatanong ko ang sarili ko kung "ganito ba ako?" , "may kilala akong ganito ah!" , "ganun pala tawag dun," at "ganun pala dapat ang gawin."

isa lang ang napansin ko nang matapos ko yung libro. Hindi naman nasagot ang tanong ko kung siya na nga. Pero may mga nasagot naman ang librong ito.

Tinuruan ako nang librong ito na sa kahit anung relasyon na aking pagdadaanan hindi ko dapat kalimutan na dapat laging kasama ang true love ko.

at sa kahit na anung relasyon, dapat laging isinasaalang alang muna ang relasyon sa magulang at relasyon mo sa iyong true love - ang panginoon.



note to author:
tungkol naman sa pastor na may akda nang librong ito. gusto talaga kitang suntukin dahil pinaasa mo lang ako kung paano ko malalaman kung talagang siya na nga. Pero ipagpapaliban ko muna yun dahil unang una sa lahat nais kong magpasalamat dahil sa pagsulat nang librong ito. dahil sa librong ito lalong lumalim ang pagmamahal ko sa diyos, at lalong lumawak ang pang-unawa at mga paniniwala ko sa panginoon. kahit madalas hindi ako sang ayon sa mga sinasabi, at naiisip ko "bakit ganito mag isip ang pastor na to? , ito ba talaga ang gustong mangyari nang diyos? " ito ang naging daan upang mapaisip ako nang malalim at kalaunan ay nagpatibay sa pananalig ko.


hindi ako pala basa ng bibliya, hindi rin ako pala simba pero dahil sa mga librong tulad nito lalong lumalalim ang relasyon ko sa true love ko.

With this book, Ronald Molmisa is like a voice in the wilderness. Casual sex is now a common practice and youth, with their raging hormones, often gets wrong notions about sex and their sexuality. Media is not much of help. Just look at the hidden sexual contents of the TV ads, shows, songs, etc. The other popular books that our Filipino youth don't help too. Prof. Eros Atalia's characters (Intoy and Jenny) have sex like they share a takeout lunch. Lualhati Bautista's Lea Bustamante gets sex outside marriage and says that it is because she is a feminist, i.e., what men can, I can do too.. Even the girl characters of Mina V. Esguerra go to bed without marrying first.

And those are the books that Filipino youth reads. Quite alarming. Especially for a father like me who has a 17-year old daughter.

I bought this book because of Jhive and Cary. Two of my young friends. I used to ignore this book because it, along with other ones by Molmisa, is intended for youth. However, parents of teenagers should read this too. Molmisa says what parents should say to their teenage kids. We, well-intentioned parents, say that we maintain an open communication with our children. However, we are not always by their side. We also don't know when they are ready to talk about something. We say that we are open to discuss sex with them but sometimes when we want to talk about it, they are not. So, chances are, our message does not sink in or worse, after sometime, forgotten.

Molmisa puts in writing the words that should come out from our mouths as parents. For this reason, I advice parents to read this book. Make it available around the house. Don't shove it to your children if they are not the reading type. Leave it lying around or put it in the bathroom. As it is an easy read, there is a big chance that some of the messages will speak to them and be their guiding lights in this time of rampant promiscuity and moral decadence.

I thank God for bringing Molmisa to this world and helping youth to take the right path. And assisting parents as well in good parenting.

Kudos to Ronald Molmisa. Thank you to my young friends, Jhive and Cary, for making me aware of this book's existence. May your tribe increase.

LOVESTRUCK:))

nung narinig ko about sa book na to, nacurious ako sa mga friends ko. kasi ang happy happy nila sa mga GM nila. that's why nung nag kita kami, ayun agad agad kung hiniram pero andami pa palang nakapila sa book na yun, kaya nag antay ko na matapos sila. pero ! worth it pala yung pag hihintay ko kasi sobra sobrang dami kong natutunan. ahahaha :DD

ang galing ng LORD kasi sa mga oras na parang feeling down kana, ee may mga pinapadala syang tao para mag paremind na "hoy! andito ko, di ka nag iisa." at yun ang TRUE LOVE Natin, na kahit iwan man tayo ng lahat ng minamahal natin, wala pa rin makakatumbas ng pagmamahal ng LORD satin kasi hinding hindi niya tayo iiwan !!! :DDD


eto pa, simula nung binabasa ko tong book na to, napapangiti ako, panu yung crush ko yung naiisip ko, lalo na kapag may mga sweet words :)). wala lang, na share lang.

note to author :
hii ptr. i need your respond :) salamat sa LORD kasi ginamit ka niya para masulat yung book na to. pero honestly , last year ko pa nabasa yun mga or 8 months ago na. kaya laking pasasalamat ko kasi dahil sa book na yun, dun ko natutunan na hindi muna mag bf at maghintay sa will ng LORD, pero may pinagpepray pa rin po ako. kaya wait. pray. patience and study muna :)) Thank you !! :))

Ang hirap. Kasi sa simula, sa first few pages, gusto ko na tigilan yung libro. Parang hindi para sakin. Gusto ko sabihin, "Ay hindi na kasi ako teenager. Hindi na ako kailangan sabihan sa pag-aaral. Graduate na po ako. At hinahanapan na nga po ako ng boyfriend e." Hahaha!

At para sa akin, dumating din sa point na medyo naging preachy na. E ayoko pa naman talaga ng ganun! Hirap ako makinig. :|

Anyway.

But pagdating sa chapters na Let's Talk about the "S" Word, In ba ang Maging "Out"? at Following the 6:14 Rule... BOOM! Tagos.

Let's Talk about the "S" Word: Hindi na lang para sa mga teenagers ang message ni Ronald Molmisa. This is where he talked about pre-marital sex, how important 'virginity' is (for both men & women), and how it is never too late to confess to God, even if you've engaged in pre-marital sex already.

In ba ang Maging "Out"?: Ito yung topic na medyo touchy pa for me. Hindi dahil ako ay isang homosexual, kung hindi dahil I don't feel any hate or even the need to 'evangelize' to them. Ang dami ko rin kasing friends na "out", and most seem at peace, and are worse than the others. Ewan, I still need to talk about this with other believers. And of course, to pray for discernment na rin.

Following the 6:14 Rule: This is the 2 Corinthians 6:14 verse. Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? I'm not really facing any challenges with regards to this verse, romantically, that is. But I guess it's a good reminder, especially when one is 'waiting' for God's best for you.

Akala ko talaga hindi ako makakarelate. God really does works in mysterious ways

Mukhang interesting naman yung ibang lovestruck editions niya. Mabasa nga rin. Hindi naman sila kahabaaan, baka may matutunan pa ako, at may ma-i-share sa iba. :)

Straight, simple but well meaning. There are points that could lead to a debate because the author bravely talked about sensitive society 'issues'. However, his views are caring and honest. For a Christian, this is a good book especially for youth. Recommended.

This is a great book unfortunately I think the love tips are only applicable to Christian believers. This is more traditional and conservative.

There are also things that I don't agree like with homosexuality that they should change their personality and things like your partner should also be Christian. It feels quite preachy for me.

First of all, i would like to say thanks to our God and to His great and faithful servant (the author of this book Ptr. Ronald Molmisa).

During that day before ko mabasa ang aklat na ito, Sobrang depress na depress ako. Kasi naman sakaiisip ko sa ka office mate ko na naging ka MU ko na sa kasamaang palad ay bigla na lang nauwe sa isang di maunawaang hindi pagkakaintindihan na until this time ay galit na galit sakin.Sobrang nanghihinayang kasi ako sa kanya dahil sa hindi ako naging maingat sa panliligaw ko sa kanya.Marami syang ginawang mga bagay sakin na talaga namang di kanais nais pero ang lahat po na yon ay parang baliwala na lang sakin sa sobrang pagmamahal ko sa kanya. Na pweding kong sabihin na "ADIK NA ATA AKO SA KANYA". Walang araw at gabi na di ko sya iniisip,sa trabaho,sa bahay at maging sa school man. Dumating ako sa point na halos kalimutan ko ang pagiging believer ko at muntikang ng muling bumalik sa wordly living desire. During those times, sobrang apektado na at bagsak na bagsak na ang spiritual life na yong tipong hindi ko na makita ang mga magagandang plano ni Lord sa buhay ko at nawawala narin yong mga magandang relasyon ko sa Panginoon. Yup! Tama po kayo at inaamin ko po na inloved po ako sa isang unbeliever that according to the BIBLE, that matter is cannot be!!!
Litong-lito po ako ng mga panahon na iyon at hindi ko alam kong ano ang gagawin ko, kung saan ako muling mag uumpisa. Yong feeling na naglalaban sa puso mo yong pag-ibig mo kay Lord at sa pag-ibig ko sa kanya. Dumating ako sa punto na, sa aking laging madalas na pag-iisa naging imoral ang sarili kay Lord sa isip,salita at higit sa lahat ay sa gawa.
Sobrang nagtagal talaga ang hirap, bigat at sama ng loob na aking na raramdaman na sa aking pakiramdam ang dilim-dilim ng paligid ko na minsan din naking dahilan para maapektohan ang trabaho ko at ang aking pag-uugali. Hangang sa isang gabi, lumapit ako kay Lord sa pamamagitan ng isang panalanganin maging sa kabila man nito ay punong-puno ako ng hiya na lumapit sa kanya sa aking mga kamaliang nagawa. Pero talagang hindi natin pweding tawaran ang awa at kabutihang taglay ng Diyos. Alam nyo po sakatunayan, ang librong ito bago ko pa man nabasa ay matagal ko ng nabili na akin na lang itinago sa kabinet ko sa hindi mawaring kadahilanan. Dumating ang isang umaga ng sabado (10/12/2013) pagkatapos ng gabi nang ako'y nanalangin. May para bang nagpaala-ala sa kin na basahin ang librong ito. Simula po ng lumabas po yong Libro po ninyo na ang "buhay na hindi bitin" na may nakapagbigay lang sakin. Doon na po ako nagkaroon ng hilig na bilhin at sundan pa ang mga libro po na inyong naisulat. Haaaayyyyy,....Kaya na man po ng matapos kong basahin ang Librong ito (LoveStruck-Love mo ba sya? Sure kaba?) sa parehong araw din na iyon. Sobrang na blessed po ako na para bang naliwanagan ako sa kong anong sitwasyon ang kinakasadlakan ko. I realized na ako pala ay biktima ng PL - PEKENG LOVE. At salamat po sa librong ito na akin namang kaagad - agarang natagpuan ang aking TL - TRUE LOVE na walang iba kundi ang ating PANGINOON na noong ay aking iniwan at binalewala. At ngayon po ay masayang masaya po akong muling lumalakad na kasama ang TRUE LOVE ko na si Lord upang tuparin na min ang mga layunin nya sa aking Buhay...

I REALLY WANT TO SHARE THIS BOOK SPECIALLY TO THE PERSON WITH SAME SITUATION LIKE WHAT I HAD.!!!

HAY,... BUHAY NGA NA MAN KAPAG SI LORD ANG KASAMA MO WALA KA NANG HIHILINGIN PA! TAMA BA???........!!!!! HUH PRAISE GOD!!!
It is really more FuN in God presence...

Thank you Ptr. Ronald Molmisa kayo po at ang inyong libro ang ginamit ng Lord para tulongan akong maka move on. Dalangin ko po sa Panginoon na nawa at patuloy po kayong kayong gamitin ng Lord to be the channel of His great blessing and wisdom! Thank you ptr. May our Lord keep his face shine upon you and gracious to you and your Family.

Thank you and God bless us,
dion

"Iniligtas tayo ng Diyos hindi dahil sa good works natin kundi dahil gusto Niyang iligtas tayo."

"If you want your lovelife to be truly good and worry-free, you must fine yourself LOVESTRUCK with the Lord."

This book covers every thing that has something to do with love. And I am happy that I was given the opportunity to read this book. And I am happier to have someone lend me this book.

I can't describe what I feel after reading. This is the kind of book that you can't put down. So, I'm highly recommending everyone to read this book. Whether you're single, in love, married or what-so-ever, READ THIS BOOK.

Bitin pero mapupulutan mo talaga ng aral. Sa panahon kasi ngayon ang daming natatanga sa pagibig. Ang daming nasasaktan dahil dito. Pero hindi ba nila alam na may isang taong kahit kailan hindi tayo sasaktan. At sa simula pa lang mahal na mahal na niya tayo, si Jesus yun eh! Kaya tulad kong isang kabataan, hinihintay ko yung pagkakataong ibibigay sakin ng Panginoon ang nakatadhana para sa akin. Okay lang ako hanggang crush basta huwag lang lalagpas kasi nga si God na bahala dun. Hehe

Unahing mahalin ang Diyos at ang sarili talaga.

Sa bawat pahina, makikita mo ang mga payo at gabay na tila galing mismo sa isang kaibigan na handang mag-bigay ng totoong opinyon at suporta sa'yo. Ang pagkakasulat ni Molmisa ay simple ngunit epektibo; madaling maunawaan at magpapakilos sa'yo na mag-isip ng mas mabuti tungkol sa iyong mga relasyon.

Sa "Lovestruck," natutunan kong mahalin at respetuhin ang aking sarili bago ang iba. Nakatutok ang aklat na ito sa pagpapalakas ng ating personal na pagpapahalaga at pag-unawa sa kung ano talaga ang hinahanap natin sa isang relasyon. Sa pamamagitan ng mga pagninilay at pagtatanong, matututunan mo rin ang kahalagahan ng pagiging bukas at totoo sa iyong mga damdamin.

I was reluctant to read this when I first saw this on PCBS. I was sure to myself I wont read this... and after several years... here I am, sharing my experience with the book.

The book discussed about infatuation and defined as:

Infatuation is an INTENSE, SHORT-LIVED and IRRATIONAL passion for somebody.

and the author further discussed it and along the way said that: "Ang mga infatuated, kapag hindi na nagi-enjoy, unti-unting mawawala ang interes sa relasyon." and ”Infatuation can make a person disorganized, distracted and ineffective. Sabog ang isip mo.”

It teaches and emphasizes that having a committed relationship is a big responsibility, and another point to be taken seriously hindi porket may nararamdaman ka ay dapat mo nang PATULAN; at nasagot din ang tanong na:

When can I date?

Answer: When you've already learned to delight in the Lord.

Most of the books I read about love and relationships told me that most ng problems ng relationships are being self-centered. and it all boils to one thing: Loving yourself first is not the magic formula. It is Loving God First!

for the conclusion: it is like Tagalized and summarized ng I Kissed Dating Goodbye A New Attitude Toward Relationships and Romance by Joshua Harris with some additional na sakto sa Pinoy culture. Lalo na dun sa parental blessings at paki-elam ng magulang. Very Filipino like.

So before considering someone for marriage ask yourself this: "Mamahalin ko pa ba siya kahit mukang pasas na ang ala ubas niang muka?"

"If you want your lovelife to be truly good and worry-free, you must fins yourself LOVESTRUCK with the Lord."

One of my i-go-with-during-church friends & high school batch mates recommended this to me and after reading he shared with me how much he loves the book. He has met the author personally because he was the pastor to a preach he attended to. He has read this a couple of times & told me how much it touched his heart & how life changing it was.

All the hype was justified. The cover & the title is catchy ESPECIALLY to teenagers that first thing that will come to their minds is that romantic love is being discussed in this book.

They are wrong.

Maybe that's the sole purpose of this book. To make it really attractive for teens to grab & be forewarned. :)

Not only does it discuss romantic love, but it discusses romantic love with God's guidance. A Christ centered relationship.

I recommend it to young adults because I know that the year of the youth is the most troubled year of a person (in terms of decision making, peer pressures, etc.) They need this most. They need guidance most. And it has got to be from God.

I have learned a lot of lessons in this book. Since then, I stopped reading books with erotica genres (though I don't really read them, actually. They are too icky for me. I'm naive, I know.) and intense romance genres. I've always liked light romances from the start anyway.

this is an amazing book :)

before, I thought having a list of Standards for a man is kind of a kj thing, but when I finished reading this book, TADA!!!! - I am relieved. Because some of my parameters included in my list was recommended by the author as well. It made me realize that I should trust God even in my love/dating relationship. All He wants for me is the best.

If a guy really loves you, he will really give you the respect and he will protect what's precious in you being a girl. Even though guys more often express their love through physical language, we girls should not compromise ourselves with the way they show and express. Giving your purple thing to the right person at a right time and in a right place - we GIRLS should always bear that in our minds. After all it'll be worth the wait. Just imagine opening your special present at a wrong time?

To guys out there, cherish and treasure the girl you really love. Even though you haven't seen her yet, pray to God that He will prepare both of you for God wants you have the best. Pursue purity even in your thoughts as well, what you think - you will act.

So folks, if you haven't read this,what are you waiting for??? Grab a copy na!!! :)
also read his second book, Lovestruck Singles Edition.

Kung single ka, o kahit nasa isang relasyon na, basahin mo 'to at tinitiyak kong hindi ka magsisisi. Simple lang ang atake ng librong 'to, madaling intindihin, wala nang paligoy-ligoy pa, higit sa lahat, nakaugat 'to sa Salita ng Diyos.
