Rare Movie Posters
2008-02-26 10:02:00
I love watching movies, different kinds. But my all time favorite is Dirty Dancing starring Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey. I think I've watched this movie on DVD more than 10 times already and I don't get tired watching it. I would love to have rare movie posters like this one. Isn't it nice to have something original like this as souvenir?

Funny T-Shirts
2008-02-18 08:53:00
Sometimes I still find myself amused with funny t-shirts being sold at Spoofs Unlimited. I mean, I can still catch myself smiling when I see one. Like I saw one wearing a t-shirt that says "You Goat Milk?" I don't know about you but these simple things can put a smile on my face - as simple as words like "Poorest Gump." *grin*

I Dared Her
2008-02-18 08:16:00
I made a neat suggestion to my friend Jen that we go to the gym and do exercises here and there to keep fit. Told her once we decide to go for it we have to stick to our schedule to see results. I doubt if she can keep up with it. Anyway, my personal favorite is the gym's pilates program. Jen's favorites are the treadmills and the ellipticals. I dared her, she backed out. Teehee!

A LOVE LETTER TO JESUS
2008-02-15 07:25:00
(I made this letter my own by signing my name in the end. Antedated from Rejoice Ministries.)Dear Jesus ,As Valentine's Day fast approaches, I think about how sad I am that I will not be sharing it with my beloved. There will be no flowers, no candy, no card. There will be no romantic dinner or endearing talk. There will be no hand-in-hand walks or loving kisses. And this hurts my heart.But then I call on Your Name and nothing is the same. I crawl up into Your loving arms and feel my heart begins to heal and my soul begins to soar. I feel You pour out Your grace on me. I am warmed by Your Words and strengthened by Your promises. I am touched and changed and made whole again. The heart that was broken and cast aside becomes a heart filled with Your love; a heart that shines with Your light; a heart that is filled to overflowing.How can I ever repay Your goodness to me? When I was stumbling in the dark, trying to find my way, You sent a light to my path. When I was angry a...

THANKFUL THURSDAY
2008-02-14 08:15:00
I thank God:For my boss. Last Monday, I started teaching my new student. Her name is Karel and she's 22 years old. She's really smart, talented and very compassionate, but she has special needs because of a traumatic childhood. I teach her in the morning and I proceed to my regular job in the afternoon. I worked out that schedule with my boss and glad he said yes. That means additional income for me.That our move to our new office is done. Glad that we're settled finally.For the new hope He's given me. I was so frustrated last week that I had an emotional outburst. Although nothing has really changed when I look at things with my natural eyes, somehow He's trying to get the message across that He's doing something behind the scene. For His patience with me and for His forgiveness on my outburst.For my friends both here and abroad who never gave up on me, on us, when I almost felt like giving up (again). They kept reminding me how our God is bigger than any mountains ...

Trade Show Displays
2008-02-13 12:01:00
I used to work in a company years ago where I experienced organizing trade show displays. Although the experience was exhausting, it was actually fun especially after the event. We became closer and learned first hand what team work was really all about. It turned out to be a success and we're all proud of what we have accomplished. It's nice to look back at those kinds of memories.

Cerebral Palsy Therapy
2008-02-13 11:19:00
I was told by my doctor that she once had a patient who was pregnant that time and had Cerebral Palsy. My doctor said her patient had Cerebral Palsy Therapy but eventually fully recovered when she gave birth. I was instructed not to dare go to crowded and constricted places to refrain from catching the illness when I was pregnant. Of course not all pregnant women do, but just a safety precaution she warned us not to. Scary.

AWARDS

I got these awards this week but because of some things I've been going through lately, I wasn't able to do a post about them right away. I'm so sorry for the delay but here they are now:First award was from Tey:I don't really know for sure if I deserve this award but thank you, Tey, for thinking of me.

Online Gaming
2008-02-08 08:06:00
My brother used to have a computer shop and most people that went there did so for gamings. I'm not really the type of person who'd be interested on those sort of games because I find it too loud. The graphics are really good though. But one thing I knew my brother did, which I know for sure, was that he restricted the access of his customers to online casino and the likes. Something that I commended him for. I mean, we know for a fact that one can easily have access to these sites but my brother didn't want to be an "accessory to the crime" so to speak. We grew up with the idea that the word "casino" is associated with gambling. And we were taught not to gamble because it's not right. So we sort of like added one plus one. Until now, we still have the same thinking when it comes to casino. And I guess that's also what I'm going to pass on to my children in the future.

YOUR WILL BE DONE
2008-01-28 11:54:00
Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk withoutmoney and without cost." Isaiah 55:1For the Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what you should say." Luke 12:12Two verses God gave me last Thursday during my one day fast. I was asking God for three things. He answered two. The other one I'm putting on hold until God speaks to me about it. Aside from the three things I was asking God for, God impressed in my heart about something else. I'm not quite sure how to do this yet. It's about helping young couples whose marriage are hurting. I said, "God, how am I gonna do this? I'm having problems with my own marriage." I told my small group leader about it and she got so excited. She said, "Yes! It shall come to pass!" God said that His words will not go back to Him empty but will accomplish the purpose for which they were sent. Somehow, at the back of my mind, I'm thinking that maybe He's letting me a...

Maternity Jeans
2008-01-28 08:48:00
Isn't it hip for preggys to be wearing maternity jeans? That is so cool! Pregnancy for me is so sexy. Can't wait to experience this gift from God. Gone are those days when pregnant women are limited to tent dresses only. Nowadays, moms-to-be can be as hip as when they were single. Can't wait to wear all those cute outfits soon. How lovely!

He Loves Cars
2008-01-28 07:10:00
I'm not really fond of cars. I mean as long as it serves its purpose, I'm perfectly okay with it. Not with my husband though. He loves cars and loves to accessorize it. He's very particular with details when it comes to cars. I'm not complaining because somehow I learned a lot from him. Whenever there's a car show in town, he makes it a point to be there to see what's the latest. In time, I learned to appreciate his love for cars. Dodge Charger, one of the few types that don't tickle my fancy, has always given me the impression of a villain's car. Of course, not with my hubby. He would love to tinker with it and a Dodge Charger accessory will not be far at hand... for sure.

Beer Pong Tables
2008-01-21 09:00:00
Honestly, I've never heard of beer pong tables until a few minutes ago when I came across a website that talks about it. It's actually a beer drinking game in which players throw a ping pong ball across a table with the intent of landing the ball in one of several cups of beer on the other end. When a ball lands in a cup, the defending team must consume that cup's beer. In my opinion, this game shouldn't be played at all even by adults because this promotes drinking. It's fun I'm sure but too much drinking of beer isn't a good idea. And it opens the door for temptation. Worst is if this game would be played by high school students and even younger. Well, that is just my opinion. I go for clean and healthy living... God's way.

Danze Faucets

Last weekend I took a used toothbrush to clean our bathroom sink but was having a hard time removing water stains from the faucet. It was the most used pair of fixtures in our home. I tried hand soap and detergent soap and still the water stains wouldn't come off. I have yet to try baking soda which I heard would work. Anyway, I came across several gorgeous selection of bathroom and kitchen Danze faucets from faucet.com. They're perfect for your home and the dream house we have in mind.

Advantage Insurance
2008-01-18 07:30:00
I met a guy from our building who offers insurance to any potential client like, you guessed it right, me! His offer in a nutshell was interesting. Since I didn't have the spare time to discuss business with him that morning, I just asked him to prepare insurance quotes and fax it to me so I can review them. I told my officemates about this in passing and thought that it would be a great idea to have it included in our employee benefit package. Of course, I do know of the insurance plans pros and cons since I got one for myself several years ago and it was explained to me quite well. Maybe next week, I'll meet with Soc - the insurance guy, and discuss about his proposal in details. We'll see what happens.

Technomarine Watch
2008-01-17 08:04:00
It is usually hard to find men gifts. I mean, the choices are limited and most of which are expensive. Good thing my husband is not someone who's so hard to please. If I have the extra money to buy him a really nice gift, I know exactly what he likes. A Technomarine watch is not a bad idea since my husband loves watches. We used to talk about buying identical his and hers watches. I find it really cute. We'd still do that once everything is cleared. You know what I mean. *grin*

DAY 7 - BREAKTHROUGH FASTING
2008-01-16 08:54:00
Yesterday was our last day of fasting. We went to church to worship the Lord and prayed for our heart's desires. It felt good that we all made it! Singing worship songs was so heartfelt, it almost felt like I was singing in front of the gate of heaven. I was extremely moved during our breakthrough prayer. I guess everyone in the room were. It was so powerful.During my fast I was lead to so many promises of God, but I'll share two verses which I hope will encourage you too as much as it did me.Then the LORD said to Joshua, "See, I have delivered Jericho into your hands, along with its king and its fighting men." Joshua 6:2...For I have delivered into your hands the king of Ai, his people, his city and his land." Joshua 8:1God has said to Joshua the words "I have delivered." Past tense. Done. Even before the actual handing over of Jericho and Ai happened. When Joshua obeyed, he received what the Lord had promised him.We have to obey what the Lord's telling us to do.An...

Credit Cards
2008-01-16 07:26:00
I'm one of those people who rarely bring cash if not too little when I go shopping. It's more convenient for me to get my plastic swiped. That is why I normally go to establishments which do credit card accepting, those with Visa & Mastercard payment solutions. I have never really bought anything yet online although I tried planting seeds to different Christian ministries which were accepting credit cards on website. I think, these plastics do me more good now than bad, except when I abused it during the early years. I learned my lessons since then.

Individual Health Insurance
2008-01-14 08:20:00
The companies I have worked with have given us individual health insurance as part of our package. This has always been beneficial for all of us especially for me. I think health insurance is very important to every individual and should always be part of the benefits given by any company to its employees. It gives an individual the freedom to see a doctor for a regular check up without worrying too much about the bill one has to pay later. I personally think that for that reason alone, it's already valuable in itself.

Day 2
2008-01-11 09:37:00
I got all sorts of mocking from the pit of hell. Rude comments were thrown at me. "Are you crazy? Why do you have to fast?""What have you done that you have to fast?" "Is that a religion thing? Crazy! I'll never join your religion if that's the case" "Is that about religion? Forget it! Grab a plate and eat!" "LET'S GO EAT!!!" (All eyes were on me while they chant those words)I just smiled at them and didn't say a word. I figured that it's useless to argue with these people anyway. My heart was breaking. I just said, "Lord, help me. I don't like to take offense. They don't know what they're doing."I knew something like this was going to happen. But God kept me strong.We're back in Manila. I survived Day 2... only because of God's grace.
