There's one gift that is more valuable than all those material things we ever received, and that's the gift of Salvation.... It's a gift... no cost at all other than our FAITH on HIM
Merry Christmas everyone!

God's love for us is beyond compare! It is unfathomable, immeasurable and never ceases! Life without Him is senseless... Knowing Him is NEVER enough... We need to ACKNOWLEDGE Him into our lives and allow Him to have a total control of it! God's love endures forever that we couldn't ask for more! His undying love is clearly written on the Holy Book- the BIBLE, our Life's ultimate manual... The question now is that- Are We Willing To Love Him Back?

It's Monday and the atmosphere here at school is really at peace.... (it's Holiday break by the way).. Unlike the other year, I need to report for work until the 23rd and resume at the 26th to 29th.... Christmas is indeed few days away! I never bothered myself to buy a gifts (unlike again last year) I just want to feel the real meaning of Christmas... it's not about the gifts we give and receive, nor parties... I need to remind myself (as well as those who were expecting) that Christmas is all about giving thanks and adoration to the One whom God has sent to us more than 2,000 years ago... It's about Jesus Christ.. and we are all the reason why He came and gave His life to us... It all started in Bethlehem long long time ago when a Child was born in the manger... A very humble scene and event yet the most significant of all!

Feel the real spirit of Christmas!

Love moves in a very mysterious ways... Who would have thought that my dear Manang Maris would settle down this fast? lol! I would like to give a toast for Manong Jim who was able to conquer Manang's (wooden?) heart! :) God knows, its the right time for them to really settle down and indeed they're perfect match. I know for sure that Manong will love Manang soooooooooo much and same thing with my quite unpredictable but loving Manang. I'm so glad and honored to become a part of the most memorable moments of their lives being united as one... To those whom God has bind together, let NO man separate! A toast for the newly wed couple!

Human as we are we're vulnerable to the trials and temptations offered by the world... Let's take a foothold in the words of God that we might not sin against Him... Let Him be our refuge and our shield.

God bless

Here's the Summary:
In the depths of the 1930's, Annie is a fiery young orphan girl who must live in a miserable orphanage run by the tyrannical Miss Hannigan. Her seemingly hopeless situation changes dramatically when she is selected to spend a short time at the residence of the wealthy munitions industrialist, Oliver Warbucks. Quickly, she charms the hearts of the household staff and even the seemingly cold-hearted Warbucks cannot help but learn to love this wonderful girl. He decides to help Annie find her long lost parents by offering a reward if they would come to him and prove their identity. However, Miss Hannigan, her evil brother, Rooster, and a female accomplice, plan to impersonate those people to get the reward for themselves which put Annie in great danger.
I watched this movie way back on my elementary years and it's really a very good movie...
Watch it!
