Traveling is perhaps one of the best past time of most individuals. It's a worthwhile experience to travel on different countries wherein you will be exposed to different cultures. But while you're on your way to your destination, have you considered insuring yourself, most specifically your health? travel insurance health is very important especially if you are on a business or holiday vacation.

Don't put yourself in a situation wherein you enjoy what you have experienced but at the back of your mind you know that you are vulnerable to any untoward incidents. It is not wrong to think about it. I am not saying that we must always be pessimistic, what I am trying to emphasized is that we must travel safely and with peace of mind. It's just one way of being practical. What do you think?

Chocolate Whey Protein Concentrate

How important is protein in our body? Study shows that lack of quality protein can result in loss of muscle, a weak immune system, slow recovery and low energy levels. Well, I believe men cannot afford to experience such dilemma. Men, just like women, are sometimes vain. They will really do everything just to get the muscles that they want. I have a very close friend way back in my previous work place, part of his daily diet is Protein Shakes. When I asked him why he crave for it, he replied by boasting his arm muscles. Well, to all the guys out there, dig more about the benefits of protein and go for it!

I'm speechless with the beauty of God's creation.. Can you identify what flower or plant is this?

... ;)

Time flew so fast that today is still January and the next time you wake up you'll be surprised that it is already the month of February...

What else can I say? I am a little bit pressured with how the time runs. It is as if each day that I spent comes short and the things to be done are still piling up.

One questions suddenly pop up into my mind: Am I ready to take off to the next level of maturity? My mind and emotions are battling once again. Deep sigh cannot solve it nor absorbing much of my thoughts on it. As the moment of truth approaches my heart is throbbing with fear and perhaps confusion... Can I really make it? Of course with the absence of God, I really can't. But judging to how I felt, I am a little bit apprehensive and doubtful...

I imagined myself running away to nowhere. I know I should take that leap of faith but I am not sure if I still have the courage to do so.

The feeling of fear envelopes me once again. What if I made the wrong decision?  I do not know how to overcome my pessimistic attitude. 

Though I entrusted everything to God, my human nature overwhelms me that much.

Can somebody please pray for me? Don't ask me on what to pray for, just pray on whatever God will dictate to you or impress into your heart...

Thanks.

I just drank a bottle of Minute Maid Pulpy. They say it’s got ‘no preservatives added’. Aw, c’mon…It’s bottled juice. Is that even possible? So I thought maybe... yes and to prove that why not check its labels?

I didn’t believe it the first time I heard it’s got no preservatives added.  So I read the ingredients (even the fine print) and everything checked out! It really has NO PRESERVATIVES ADDED!  That means it doesn’t have ingredients that may turn out to be allergens, or worse...carcinogens!  Whew! Now that’s healthy goodness that tastes so good, I... know the whole family will surely enjoy its great taste and goodness!

So okay, it’s got no preservatives added. That’s really good, right?  Not just because it doesn’t have those icky, harmful ingredients, but it also means... you will be guaranteed of a real healthy fruit drinks!

So far anyone who still has a hard time believing that Minute Maid has got no preservatives added - meaning it's THAT natural, it's almost like it's plucked straight from the tree, it's just as Mother Nature wanted your orange juice to be, it's got nothing but the good stuff yes, none of those potentially toxic stuff that can harm your brain, kidneys, heart; cause tumors aargh- the list of preservatives' bad effects just go on!!! Anyway, just to prove a point on just how good Minute Maid Pulpy is 'cause it's got NO PRESERVATIVES ADDED, I'm gonna tell you now to try it and see for yourself! I have already tried it and I can assure you that indeed what you'll get is simply what you really want in a bottled juice!

Feels good to know about the real pulpy deal, right? C’mon show me a smile on the comment box, and you might win yourself a Really Pulpy Deal! (That’s a chance to win a Minute Maid gift pack simply by commenting. Sweet! C'mon you just might be picked as the lucky 'commentor'!)

Love,

Trying hard to be a rock star! Are you convinced?

I claimed this year 2011 as the year of fulfillment to all my dreams and aspirations in life. There are lots of them actually but I am only counting on the big ones. But of course, no matter how I planned and planned for my future, it's God's plan that should prevail, He is in total control anyway ;).

One of the things that I should look forward to for this year is losing weight. I've been quite desperate to achieve this since time immemorial ;) I love to eat that is why it is quite difficult for me to get my targets. However, I can feel the urgency to do so considering that gaining much weight will likely cause some unhealthy symptoms of this and that. I started getting my morning walk late last year but again it was stop for so many reasons. The determination diminished? Well, people just got too busy last year that waking up early in the morning becomes a tedious routine. But for now, I tried to revive that determination or else I will never get to my target for this year... 

This should be my health resolutions and I should make it a point to be consistent of the things that I planned in order to achieve it.

Aja!

This is just one of the wonderful promises made by God and this is one of the benefits of holding on to Him. Eternal life is given to those who will accept Him as Lord and Saviour of their lives. You have nothing to lose if we accept Jesus Christ to be the center of our lives. Cling unto Him and be assured that once you'll have Him, no one else can take you away from Him. 

This is more than a good news... this is how we should live our life.

God bless everyone!

I used to draft before my long list of New Year's Resolution but wasn't able to make it through the end...

But now, I stop it considering that I lack the willpower to follow it all...

Before, first on my list was to lose weight however, I gained more for the past one year... 

Actually there's a lot of things that I wrote but only few were being fulfilled.

What I did for this year was to stop making  promises for myself, instead, I just have to be aware of my surroundings, I just have to keep my relationship with my love ones to be intact and most of all, continue the faith and trust I have for God.

After all, many are the plans in the man's heart but it is God's plan that shall prevail.

Proverbs 19:21 (New International Version, ©2010)

 ²¹ Many are the plans in a person’s heart,
   but it is the LORD’s purpose that prevails.


Amen and Amen to that. ;)


So how about you? How serious are you in fulfilling your New Year's Resolutions, if any?

I slept late last night because I was hooked in playing Burger Machine. It was almost 12 midnight when I retired to my bed. Then past 2AM my Mom woke me up. She felt bad again and she's complaining about dizziness. She has history in high blood pressure. I was left with no choice than to drag myself up and have some quick fix of myself. I called up the guard house hoping to get a taxi for city bound. Unfortunately, there was no available taxi so we need to walk for almost half kilometer to reach the guard house. Our home was located at one of the subdivisions in Iponan, CDO quite far away from the high way. It was almost 4AM when we finally got a taxi. We went first to the pharmacy then to the Polymedic Hospital for BP. The nurses monitored a normal blood pressure of Mom. Maybe because before we went to the hospital she already took some medicine. 

A realization came upon us. For emergency cases, it is really difficult for us who are living in the outskirt of the city where vehicles are not really that accessible. I am hoping and praying that we could acquire one soon. This was not the first time that it happened to my Mom. I am still thankful to God that He guided us all the way.

These are  my lovely nieces. I really do love them both. They are the daughters of my eldest brother. I thank God for giving us such a lovely kids who are so sweet and talented. If you'll get to know them you will easily love them both. 

Last year was full of promises...

I supposed this year will be the year of fulfillment.

God promises as for a better future and I do trust and keep my faith on His words.

I've already said before that I went through a lot last year. I have endured all those mixed emotions...

I thanked for having a blog because this was my outlet for every suppressed emotion... I have posted all my frustrations here and even all my successes. 

I know how faithful God is in my life despite the fact that I have been unfaithful to Him.

He promoted me, he answered one of my long time my prayers.

I can feel how he ordered my steps. I can be likened to the lost sheep and yet He keeps on finding me, taming me and accepting me over and over again.

I was so blessed with the message yesterday given by our Pastor- the generational blessings of God to Abraham. God clearly illustrated on His Words how he always kept His promises in spite of the disadvantageous economic situation or societal condition. Indeed, our God is an awesome God. He is always in control... in total control.

I lift up to Him my year 2011! To God be the glory!

Happy New Year brethren!

Each one of us went through a lot for this year 2010... Looking back, we were able to conquer most if not all of the challenges we encountered by the grace of God... The challenge may not have yet ended but still we remain hopeful that someday everything will fall on its right places. We did not stop believing that God brought us into a situation for a significant reason. Next year will mark another chapter of our lives. For all those things that we've been through, the fight continues. We survived because we never cease in believing God's faithfulness in our lives. We may have failed so many times but His love remains in us forever. His tender mercy overflows and His love never ceases. Whether we realized all our goals for this year or not, one thing is for sure- GOD IS IN CONTROL.

Let us glorify God forever and ever. Amen

Happy New Year!

Remote Controlled Toys 

Let's face it, kids are the most excited individuals this Christmas. Why? Simply because other than their very own birthday anniversary, it is only Christmas season that they get to have more toys from their parents and Godparents. Well, even big boys got the same feeling as well. If you are among those adults who cannot make up your mind yet on what to buy for your little boys why not try Remote Controlled (RC) toys like RC Cars, RC Planes. RC Helicopters and of course accompany it with  Nitro Remote Control Accessories for longer use. Get ready for that big hug from your little boy this Christmas upon receiving this kind of gifts. ;)

Well, this song was first introduced to me by Macon and she asked me to sing with her. In return, I familiarize this song and learn to love it...


Here's the lyrics:

I've been down, now I'm blessed

I felt a revelation coming around

I guess it's right, it's so amazing

Every time I see you I'm alive

You're all I've got

You lift me up

The sun and the moonlight

All my dreams are in your eyes

I wanna be inside your heaven

Take me to the place you cry from

Where the storm blows your way

I wanna be the earth that holds you

Every bit of air you're breathing in, a soothin' wind

I wanna be inside your heaven

When we touch

When we love

The stars light up

The wrong becomes undone

Naturally

My soul surrenders

The sun and the moonlight

All my dreams are in your eyes

And I wanna be inside your heaven

Take me to the place you cry from

Where the storm blows your way

And I wanna be the earth that holds you

Every bit of air you're breathing in, a soothin' wind

I wanna be inside your heaven

When minutes turn to days and years

When mountains fall, I'll still be here

Holding you until the day I die

I wanna be inside your heaven

Take me to the place you cry from

Where the storm blows your way

And I wanna be inside in your heaven

I wanna be inside

Where the storm blows your way

And I wanna be inside your heaven

Take me to the place you cry from

Where the storm blows your way

And I wanna be the earth that holds you

Every bit of air you're breathing in, a soothing wind

I wanna be inside your heaven

Hope you too will like this song :)

For a piece of advice, they have Gold Luster Etched Dot Stemware for $5.60 each only. And of course, the Holiday Party wouldn't be complete without sharing our blessings through gift giving. You would be surprise how Pier 1 organized it all for you. With its complete holiday gifts idea, you have a lot to choose from without giving you pain on the pocket. You can have Jeweled Pashmina for your girl friends or leather and chrome pen for your boy friends and desktop frames for the whole family picture! Well, actually if you are on a tight budget, they have more gift ideas that only cost you $10 or less, isn't it great? As for me, I personally love their Assorted Gem Clutches for only $7.11 (originally $19.00) ! It is ideal for party and other special occasion. How I wish someone would give it to me before it will run out of stock. I am simply amazed of what we can possibly avail at Pier 1. And If I am going to mention it all here, well you might get tired reading all the way (lol).

If you want more, just simply like Pier 1 Imports on Facebook and and for every new fan you'll get, they will donate $1 to Toys for Tots. You too can be a good Samaritan not only during December but on November as well by dropping off an unwrapped toy and/or making a cash donation at the Cash Register at Toys for Tots.

I made this little art craft for our Christmas decor during our Office party. The message is indeed very clear... 

^{Isaiah 9:6}

⁶ For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

This Christmas and for this coming New Year, we must not forget the very reason of this Holiday Season....

Let JESUS CHRIST, our Mighty Saviour, be the center of our lives.

Keizha and Moirah with their medals

For this Mellow Yellow Monday, allow me to feature two of the amazing kids of our Lighthouse Iponan, Kiezha and Moirah. These two cute little girls won from their series of school events. Indeed both of them are young achievers. They are both consistent honor students and they are very talented too. Moirah is inclined to music. She can play violin. Their parents must really be proud of them. They are cousins by the way :)

For this week's Shoot Me, I won't be featuring my very own picture. Instead, I'll be posting here the picture of one of the cool couples in our school, Mr. and Mrs. Namoco. Dean Concon playfully wear a curly wig last Annual Fellowship and was fully supported by his ever supportive wife, Ma'am Rhoda. They were both successful in their professional career and of course, with their relationship as well. I personally took this picture for them. I do not know how will he reacted If he learned that I posted it here on my blog. Shh...  ;)

Cool, isn't it?

I long to be in some places someday and meet the significant people who made it to the World History. I wanted to travel around the world and see wonders of wonders. I want to see before my eyes how the Leaning Tower of  Pisa steadily stand the test of time. I wanted to see how actually big is the Elephant in Thailand. I wanted to know how beautiful is the Taj Mahal in India. I want to climb Mount Everest. I want to soak myself in the Nile River to know if the river is warm or cold. I want to experience how it feels to be with the people in Bangladesh. I want to meet the descendants of Confucius in China. And when I get tired of travelling around the world, I want to stay at the  villas in turkey.

Well, If I could only have what I want... 

How about you?

The Repeat Performance ;)

The Support Staff- The Ultimate Performers

During the Christmas Party that we organized for the support staff of the school last December 17, 2010, there was a repeat performance of the dance we choreographed during the Annual Fellowship on December 15. Due to the limited space in our office, they were asked to perform by group. However, we were not spared with the dance number and we have no other choice but to dance. ;) 

We should be thankful of the day that Jesus was born in order for us all to have the free gift of salvation... 

This Christmas, let His love reigns...

Let His patience rules...

Let His guidance abides...

He was born long time ago in Bethlehem, yet His promise of Salvation still remains...

When you truly accepted Him you are saved...

But if you still have doubts on Him, think again.

You have nothing to lose.

HE IS THE ONLY WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Each one of us are liable to maintain a good personal hygiene. What we are right now is the result of how we take good care of ourselves. One of the most essential part of our personal hygiene that we should look into is our oral hygiene. We can capture another person's heart by the way we smile and of course when you talk to them, see to it that no foul odor will come out straight from your mouth. That sounds too horrible, isn't it? Your choice of toothpaste really matter as well. If we can notice, most of the commercial toothpaste are not really helping at all. Studies shows that some commercialized toothpaste have toxic ingredients.
