Dear Visitors,

Notice my long absence? Well, honestly, I am quite preoccupied right now. My hands are full with school activities. It's Midterm week and I am busy checking my student's exam and projects! Tomorrow I still have one more exam with my students in Basic CADD. I'm still halfway to the finishing line. Last Wednesday too, I went to the health center for the scheduled immunization of my baby doll. She was given a Pentavalent that gave her so much pain and discomfort until now. She got a fever (which is an after-effect), and I got injected with depo too (I can't just wait and do nothing about FP). I've actually got varied feedback about the effect of depo but I am praying that it will work perfectly fine for me with no complications.

Anyway, thanks for visiting here. I will try to update this blog as frequently as possible so that by your next visit, you'll get a fresher info about me and anything else. Oh by the way, I am currently having a contract with odesk too and hoping to get all the given tasks done before Monday. There's still grade computation waiting in line!

Whew, what a week! ;)

Home court Advantage.

This is how I assess the present FIBA Asia 2013 games status in favor of Gilas Pilipinas. Their performances against other countries like Qatar, Kazakhstan has been such a good indication that Gilas Pilipinas will make it to the Final Round...

However, tonight's game against Korea was... heart thumping ... 

Oh, not my heart actually, it's my husband's. His eyes and ears were all focus on the screen... took a little break to wash Kuya Gregory's feeding bottles...

Pilipinas Gilas' import, according to him, wasn't able to play due to some injury.

Pingris? Alapag? Tenorio? David? who else! Go for the hoop guys!

Hmm, you can do it guys!

Let's cross our fingers then.

Let's cheer for Gilas Pilipinas!

and that means?

☺ a little time checking exams (FB took most of my time!)

How about you? How are you gonna spend your weekend, I mean, this long weekend?

Lately, a colleague of mine suffered an intolerable pain on her back that when she visits the doctor for a checkup it was found out that one of the discs on her spinal column was misaligned. She really does not have an idea what cause it to happen but she was advised to undergo herniated disc surgery if the pain persisted. People suffering with herniated disc should seek an immediate treatment to avoid further damage. There are modern treatment options available today and one of those is the artificial disc replacement that should be performed only by leading spine surgeon.

Whom do we consider as "unbelievers"?

Those are the people who do not or perhaps have not yet accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. They often referred to as the "lost". In my profession as a teacher, I met a lot of them, mostly are my students, and some of my colleagues. But sometimes I am wondering or better yet surprise to observe that these "lost" ones are the one who behaves well. I mean, their actions are more convincing than those who presume and assume themselves as one ("Christ believer"). I am not judging them but it just saddened me that those who supposedly influenced others are the ones being influenced. Those whom I thought could share the great love of Christ are somehow being brainwashed by the people surrounding them. 

In my class, I always ask somebody to pray before we start. I can tell who are  those supposedly "have known the truth" through the way they pray but I am caught alarmed when I heard them cursing in the middle of the class just because somebody disturbed them while working on their drawing project.

Why it saddened me? It saddened me because I can sometimes see myself in them. I claimed to have been saved by grace and accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior, yet judging the way I behave sometimes, I might be put into question when I will be facing God during the Judgment Day.

Indeed, in the book of Corinthians, Paul was right, "we should not be yoked together with unbelievers". There's a big possibility that we will really fall especially if our spiritual health is undernourished. And if we insist, we might get overwhelmed in the darkness that we will be like chasing in the dark because we cannot contain their presence around us.

A little over two weeks ago I tried to change my blog name from God Brought Me Here to Simply Jackie. You know that feeling when you want to make a drastic change hoping you got it right but turns out nothing. I thought by changing my blog name I'll get to draw more advertisers on my site. They might thought my blog is focus on religious post and the like so I changed it. However, nothing really change. In fact, I've got no more opportunities from my "loyal" advertisers then it occur to me that maybe they thought my blog is gone!

The ending? I'll change it back to the original!
