My name is Karim and I was born in Pasig City. I am twenty one year-old guy. I have five siblings and their names are Ma. Erika, Teresa, Salah, Masoud, and Hamood. The name of my parents are Teresita and Saleh (stepfather). My favorite food is Hunggarian and I love to eat this with Citrus Tea. When it comes to sport, my first sport was basketball but due to my small body, I stopped playing it. I decided to play a game that has no strength required. I admit that I am a small guy but I am proud to say that having a small body is not a hindrance to reach your goal. One of my dreams is to travel all around the world because it's cool to see or explore what's with this world. The reason why I love to travel is because I already experienced how to travel and for me, it's good.

When I was a kid, I'm always looking for a friend to play with. That time, my circle of influence was on my childhood friends. We do a lot of things that is so funny to do. We always depends on our happines though it's not good. For us, being happy is a decision. If you wanna be happy, just do what you want that makes you happy because no one will stop you for doing those stuffs. I once was a trumpet player and to be honest, I am the most skillful trumpet player in my band. In my 2 months of progress, my band master had noticed me that I can do some solos in our song and my band master gave me a break. It's good to have a band because it might be the right way to develop your talent. My band once was my stress reliever because of the musics that are so good in my ears. It's quite sad to imagine that I am no longer part of that band because there was a problem that my band cannot handle so my co-members decided to leave our band. I thought that my life has no purpose and the reason why I'm living is to find a decent job and eat three times a day, sleep, etc.

Last time, one of my friends had shared the gospel with me. For me, it's so boring to learn what the bible says but suddenly, when I read one of the messages of my friend, I was so guilty and I don't know what to do! The message has a lot of negative things to say and it connects with my life. The message woke my spirit up. The Lord has changed my life. I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Saviour last November 2014 and I was full of joy that time and until now! All of my mistakes, sins, shames, or any negative attitudes had gone. I learnt that making right decision shouldn't be depended in our happiness. I am serving the Lord now in my Church in Pasig. I learnt that my life has a purpose. I am now with my new band that is for Christ's glory and I am so blessed to be part of that band. As I started walking with God, my life is easier now because when I need someone to talk to, I know that God will listen to me and true to this, I've proven to myself that God is my comforter. Now, my life is full of joy because of the Lord. Jeremiah 29:11 says, "For I know the plans I have for you" declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you; plans to give you hope an a future". I believe in this Scripture because I know that He is a God that is alive. My soul longs for Jesus and my life belongs to Him now.
