No Sleep!

Good day guys! I haven't slept. I've been awake for almost 24 hours now and it could be the case as this day could turn out very busy.

I can't sleep now and will be drinking coffee to keep me awake as I attend mass at about 1 hour from now. I need to be awake to listen to what message God will be letting me hear.

We will also be having our Christian Life Program for the YFC-SFC Crossover. It would be about 45 minutes away from our place and would take up about 2-3 hours.

In the afternoon, we will also be having our Chapter Assembly at our place for the YFCs to mingle and to learn something from God. This will be at 2:00 in the afternoon and would take up about 2-3 hours depending how early the people will come.

So basically, I won't be having a good rest. Maybe little naps will do to keep me going. I really can't blame anyone or anything except for my being insomniac. I tried everything to sleep like reading a book, listening to music, drinking a warm glass of milk but none of these deemed effective.

Oh well, I can handle this today but I really need to get back on my sleeping time to get my health back.

God bless everyone and keep the faith intact!

Being Insomniac is Always A Bad Thing!

Good day guys! How is your day?! Mine is well. Actually, it is 4:27 a.m. in our place and I am still awake. I am a self-proclaimed insomniac.

I got this sickness from working home-based on an irregular time. My schedule on my ex-employer was from 10:00 p.m. - 6:00 a.m. and that usually extends to about 8:00 a.m. So you can imagine why I have this sickness. LOL!

Being insomniac is in no way a good thing. I repeat "NOT A GOOD THING!" It poses a lot of problems whether health-wise, relationship-wise, etc.

Nothing can beat a good night sleep and waking up in the morning, greeting the day with a big and beautiful smile and with arms wide open! I long for that because I usually wake up at around lunch-time.

Anyways, I really need to get this insomniac thing off my life and fix my natural body clock.

God bless and keep the faith intact always!

Stronger - Lasmarias Brother ft. Dan2x

Good day guys! It was on September14, 2010 that we had our practice for the CFC Sector Assembly. We had our practice for the songs to be played during the worship. After the practice, we decided to record a song composed by our musicians. The song is entitled "Stronger" and is all about what matters most during troubling times. It is neither the problem nor the way you solve the problem, but it is all about being faithful during those times. This is the song and I hope this would bring inspiration to you guys.

God bless guys and always keep the faith intact!

Got No One to Talk To?! Got The Perfect Solution for You!

Good day guys! Another day for me! Yesterday was a very inspiring day for me! Although I was thinking all day about things to do in my life, I got inspiration from a very inspiring being, that is God!

We had our weekly Wednesday worship! It was great having to speak to God and listening to Him and just telling Him everything that your heart is burdened with. And I know that He is always listening and doing His plans for me. That's why I don't worry that much.

Having problems and you got no one to talk to about these things? I suggest you close your eyes, hold your hands together, tell God everything, ask for His glory to show into your life and have faith in Him. Only He can offer you a perfect solution to your problems. And after praying and telling Him what your problems are, listen. We need to listen to hear His message.

God bless everyone and keep the faith intact!

Letting Go and Letting God!

Good day guys! How is your day? My day is just fine. Tiring but fine. It is my ate Micah's birthday today. She is now 25 years old and going stronger and stronger literally. I remember when she ran from her room to the living room and I stopped her. She dragged me about 3 meters. It was then that I realized that we have grown so much. And it made me realize that we are children no more.

I am 23 years old now and would be 24 next year (duh?! lol)! It got me a little scared that 5 years from now, it is my ideal age to marry and to raise a family. That in such a short time, I need to get my act together and to plan for my future.

Now that being rich is out of my priority, I just want to have a stable job suitable enough to support a family. If God allows me to get rich, then thank You! But, for now, it is really none of my concerns.

I also want to serve God everyday of my life. And to share that unending love from Him to everyone around me. I originally thought of being a full time missionary, to fulfill this dream to go on missions. To go to places where God is in need.

But as the days go by, and learning many things about Him, I also realized that it is all about calling. It is really all about Him calling you to be one. If He has plans for You to follow that road, then everything will be in place and nothing can ever stop you from doing what He calls you to do.

I also learned that being a missionary is not about forcing yourself to be one. Sometimes we are too selfish and we are too caught up in the moment that we tend to forget to listen to Him. We tend to manipulate things to go according to plan. That may be a good thing but mind you it would not be Him working but you. And that is not a good thing!

And also I learned to let go and let God! Just do the best I can at what God has anointed me to do! Everything in my life is according to His plans! My family, my friends, my work, my ministry, everyone and everything around me is God's gift to me and should be taken care of with the best that I can.

To do the best we can do with our life and by putting God in the center of everything that we do, that is the best testimony one can share to others. It is not about me anymore, it is all about Him now!

I offer my life to You now and use me according to Your will! Let Your will be done!

God bless everyone and always keep the faith intact!

Heaven by Woodstruck Cover

Good day guys! Lately, I am very inspired by YouTube musicians that I am listening, mostly acoustic. Because of my love of music, I tried to record a cover of mine. It turned out not too well but just ok. This is a preview (part of the song) cover of Heaven by Woodstruck. This song is one of my favorite songs I learned in the YFC (Youth for Christ) community. Here is the song.



Hope you guys find it inspiring! God bless and keep the faith intact!

How to Connect to Family Members and Friends? - No Problem!

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Boost Mobile. All opinions are 100% mine.

Good day guys! I am back again to talk about being in touch with your friends and family!

Facebook, twitter, text messages, emails and calls are just example on how to connect to your loved ones. It is just simply amazing how, about 20 years ago, there were just telephones and post mails available to be used for communication. But now, with the advent of the internet, there are lots of different ways to keep in touch with loved ones. I'll discuss two ways:

Facebook

Whew! Facebook! In my honest opinion, this is the second most useful technology invented for the internet, after Google of course, and it's just keeps getting better and better. It overshadowed, if I may say it's predecessor, Friendster. Even the spell checker of blogger.com recognize Facebook as a word compared to Friendster. LOL!

One of the useful things Facebook offers is the Facebook chat where friends from all over the globe can just click an online friend and chat just like you would chat on YM or Skype. Simple interface but user-friendly.

Aside from Facebook chat, tons of games also keep Facebook users happy. With thousands of games developed every month, users can't get enough of it. It is really fun and enjoyable that even Friendster tried to imitate (with no avail though).

Twitter

Another social networking site that is able to connect people over the globe (or Internet). You can just update your "twit" and, voila, your followers and friends will see your update and can comment or post their feedback on your updates easily. Twitter is designed very simply! Visit it and see! ;)

With these technology and others as well, most of the mobile phones nowadays, if not all, are developed to cater and to connect to these technologies. Blackberry phones are just an example of the many mobile phones that are created for the purpose to connect to these technologies.

Boost Mobile takes advantage of these opportunity to help mobile users connect to their favorite social networking sites by providing a Re-Boost to their accounts by providing flexible payment options; whether through online payment, personal payment or by phone. By re-boosting you can refill your accounts to enjoy unlimited connection to your favorite sites for a month.

God bless and keep the faith intact!

A Much Needed Vacation - where?

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Geile Leon. All opinions are 100% mine.

Good day guys! I am not feeling very well today! Actually, it's been almost a week since I was not feeling well and until now, I am still not feeling well. Maybe I got a little bit tired of all the things needed to be done at work, outside of work, family-wise, service-wise, etc. Anyways, I think I badly need a vacation.

I was thinking of going to a very, very far place and just resting and enjoying my heart out! A place where no one knows me so that I can really enjoy and do whatever I want. There are many places to choose from, from China to Australia to Nigeria to Italy, even Saudi Arabia is a very good place to go. Who knows where.

But out of the places where I can go, this one place got my attention. This is at Missouri, specifically at Branson, Missouri. This is where Titanic Branson Museum is located. Also, I found this "Third Night on Us!" promo where you rent for 2 nights and the third is on the house. Isn't that neat? This is at Hilton Promenade at Branson Landing and also at Hilton Branson Convention Center Hotel. It is a very nice offer for those who have a low budget or for those who want to be thrifty and spend the money on visiting sites.

Of course, before I can go to these places, I need to save up lots of money. This would be a long time coming but we'll never know!

God bless and keep the faith intact guys! Love you guys!

Chain of Friendship!

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Hampton Hotels. All opinions are 100% mine.

Good day there! How are you guys? Me? I’m good. I’ve been for a lot of things these days. Studying, doing my role as a son, a partner and a teen. Though we encounter so many trials and happenings in life, still it is fun when our friends are around. Knowing that despite of our absences in their lives sometimes, in times of loneliness, it’s relieving to know that we can still count on them and in return we do same thing to them because that’s what friends are for, right? No one must be left behind.

We all somehow wish and say “I wish my friends are my brothers and sisters”. I also wish that thing, don't you?

We get lots of fun and laughers when we’re with them. So guys, this is our opportunity to make those wishes somehow a reality. Hampton Chain of Friends Sweepstakes, a raffle draw game given for us to reconnect with our friends whom we treasure so much. This game is about a dream come true event. The grand prize winner will receive a free stay for themselves and 100 of their friends at Hampton for one weekend. The winner will also receive $5000 to help pay the tax for the weekend.

If I will be given a chance to be the grand prize winner, then that day may be my best day of my life ever. Of course I will invite my beloved close friends of mine to be with me on that day.

It will be a full house non-stop party weekend for me and for my precious friends. It will be a non-stop bonding and recreation to all. It would be a chance to make new memories and experiences that is worthy to be kept.

So what are you waiting for guys? This raffle is open to all. Let’s not waste our time to think, opportunity is here. Let’s grab this and be part of this raffle. We never know, maybe we are destined to win.

God bless and keep the faith intact!

Learning the Purpose

Good day guys! Being alive is a great feeling. Especially if you got to do the things you love and also learn more things and expand your knowledge base. Learn to play piano, to speak more in front of people, to communicate your thoughts well, etc.

Life gives us a wonderful opportunity to do these things. There are so many things to do. But what is the real essence of life? Are these the things that would make us happy? Money? Large House? Cars? Gadgets? They indeed make you happy. After you get those? Are we contented yet? Are we still lacking something deep inside that we can't seem to satisfy with these material things?

Brothers and sisters, what we really need in our lives are not these material possessions but are those unexplainable joys we get when we help others; help them get by their problems, helping them learn new things, helping them to enjoy life, sharing to them how great life can be.

This is called serving God through our fellow brothers and sisters. Let us not forget that our true purpose in life is to praise and glorify the Lord by living our lives in the fullness of Him. Following His examples and living the life that He want us to live praising and glorifying Him in all the things that we do.

God bless and keep the faith intact!

Facial Care

Good day guys! How is your day? Mine was tiring but still fun. I had lots of walking to do, I had to go to the city twice, go to my friend's house to practice with the band for our camp, had 2 basketball games with my neighbors. But all was worth it because I was able to hang out with friends.

Anyways, with all the things that's happening to us in a day, it is not surprising to develop unwanted marks on our faces. Age spots, pimples, acne, even wrinkles, are one of the many that would show up to stressed people's faces. With all the oil and dirt that our face can get through the day, it is easy to get these.

That is why it is important to clean our faces at the end of each day to get that dirt away and allow our face to regenerate its lost beauty and health. We can use Skin Care Products, such as Acne Products and the likes to get that healthy glow back to our faces and remove those annoying marks. Or we can choose a more natural method.

Whatever way we choose to clean our face, what is important is that we are taking care of our facial health because the face is the first thing that people would see. We don't want to be known as a very stressed person, do we?

God bless and keep the faith intact!

Pre-Commencement Exercise!

Good day guys! I just woke up from a long sleep after the pre-commencement exercise. It was a tiring ceremony but it was great. It was very heart-warming and singing the graduation song, Man in the Mirror by Michael Jackson, in front of many people was very exciting. Tomorrow would be the Graduation proper. Congratulations to the batch 2010 for making your parents proud.

God bless everyone and keep the faith intact!

High School Classmates Gathering!

Good day guys! I would just like to thank my classmates, Nicole, Bencel and Rachel for the wonderful time spent. You guys gave me one heck of an evening.

We were just at a local coffee shop drinking coffee but it seems that a cup of coffee is enough to remember the old days and to activate our brains and have a wonderful evening talking about anything, from weird things ti serious things, and laughing hard together.

It looks like we own the shop with the way we talk and laugh.We just let our inner child take over and do all the talking and conversing.

God bless everyone and always remember to make as many good memories as possible with your friends and cherish those memories for those memories will make you remember that you got lots of friend to lean on. Keep the faith intact guys!

Holy Friday Celebration

Good day everyone! I am now free to blog about what I want to blog. I can go back to the good old days of blogging about anything under the sun and the not so. I missed those days.

So how is your day guys?! Having quite a day? Me? I am celebrating the Holy Friday, which is a way to remember the greatest gift God has given to us. God died on the cross to cleanse us from all our sins and to grant us access to His Kingdom.

The holy week is not about not eating meat, not having fun, avoiding accidents (because they say that a wound gotten during Holy Friday would heal slower and would take a year to completely heal, which is of course an old saying), and staying inside the house. But it is all about remembering God's death which is the way to redeem us of our sins.

God bless all of us and always keep the faith intact!

The Best Gifts Ever!

Good day everyone! How are you guys? Feeling great? Having a good time? Well, if you're having a good time then let's celebrate! I have many reasons to celebrate. I'll try to enumerate them all.

In a Relationship

How I wish I could post her name here, but I guess I can't. But for the past weeks, she has been my inspiration. Actually, it's been months, but the formal thing came weeks ago. It was a very, non-romantic event. I guess, sometimes, it doesn't need to be romantic. The important part is that we love each other. I love you! XOXOXO...

Birthday

Happy birthday to me! Happy birthday to me! Happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday to me! LOL! I guess you can't beat the feeling of happiness knowing that you made it through another year of your life. That God gave you another year to live your life. How would I spend my birthday? hmmm...

Graduation Day

And the best reason to celebrate is the fact that I will graduate this coming April 8, 2010. For almost 6 years of success, failure, defeat, cutting classes, cheating, lies, escapades and both happy and sad memories, I will graduate.

All those years of frustration will finally bear me a good fruit. I am very happy indeed. Who wouldn't be?! Even if I don't have any awards and stuff (Actually, it is none of my concern in the first place) I can really say that this is the most amazing gift that God has given me so far.

God bless everyone and keep the faith intact!

Top 3 Manga!

For those who like reading mangas, like me, these are my top 3 favorite manga.

#1 Naruto
Synopsis:

Twelve years before the events at the focus of the series, the nine-tailed demon fox attacked Konohagakure. It was a powerful demon indeed; a single swing of one of its nine tails would raise tsunamis and flatten mountains. It raised chaos and slaughtered many people, until the leader of the Leaf Village - the Fourth Hokage - defeated it by sacrificing his own life to seal the demon inside a newly-born child, whose origins are as yet unknown. That child's name was Naruto Uzumaki.

Author: Masashi Kishimoto
Artist: Masashi Kishimoto
Updated: Weekly(Now at chapter 530)

Comment: Naruto is a very good manga, my favorite. It is an action-filled story and also teaches the essence of friendship. I like how Naruto struggles to get Sasuke, his bestfriend, back from the grasp of evil. How he changes the lives of the ninjas he fights. I like his character!

#2 Bleach

Synopsis:
Ichigo Kurosaki has always been able to see ghosts, but this ability doesn't change his life nearly as much as his close encounter with Rukia Kuchiki, a Soul Reaper and member of the mysterious Soul Society. While fighting a Hollow, an evil spirit that preys on humans who display psychic energy, Rukia attempts to lend Ichigo some of her powers so that he can save his family; but much to her surprise, Ichigo absorbs every last drop of her energy. Now a full-fledged Soul Reaper himself, Ichigo quickly learns that the world he inhabits is one full of dangerous spirits and, along with Rukia--who is slowly regaining her powers--it's Ichigo's job to protect the innocent from Hollows and help the spirits themselves find peace.

Author: Tite Kubo
Artist: Tite Kubo
Updated: Weekly(Now at chapter 439)

Comment: Bleach is a fantasy manga in which it involves shinigamis, japanese death gods. I like Bleach mainly because of the fights involving intense powers and stuff. I like how Ichigo evolves from one form to another. It also involves friendship.


#3 Claymore
Synopsis:
In a medieval world, villages are being attacked by the youma, demons that can take the appearance of their victim. The only people who can stop them are the Claymore, a group of young women named for the swords they use. They are half-human, half-demons who, mostly unwillingly, became Claymore.

Author: Yagi Norihiro
Artist: Yagi Norihiro
Updated: Monthly(Now at chapter 113)


Comment: Claymore is a brutal manga where you see limbs being cut-off, heads flying everywhere since it involves monsters and claymore carrying female warriors. I like the fact that it is brutal. But one negative thing about this manga is that it is updated very slowly, monthly and sometimes took 2-3 months. But anways, a good manga for those who like brutality.

Web Hosting

Good day guys! It has been a long while since I last posted something on my blog. The harsh conditions of life made me tired and in turn forget about some of my ways to relieve stress. I am semi-down today because our developed enhancement is not working properly as we deployed it on our testing server. All of our hard-work came crumbling down that time. But I guess that's part of life, you just have to figure out the problem and move on from there.

Anyways, web hosting is an essential part of an internet business and storefront for those would be and successful entrepreneurs. Buying .com domains is a way of securing your business a good spot in this highly competitive environment called "the internet!" With some keyword researching and SEO work, your dream of having a successful internet business would come true.

God bless and keep the faith intact!

Workout Excitement!

Good day guys! Since the new year's celebration, I am on an eating tear. I just can't stop eating that I have gained considerable weight now, 75kg. That is, I think, overweight for my age, 22, and height, 5'6". That's why I a thinking of doing some workout to burn the excess fat and have a healthy living. Me and my friends enrolled at some local gym at a mere price of P 850.00; P 300.00 for the membership, P 350.00 monthly and P 200.00 for the instructor. We will start tomorrow. I am very excited to start this new program for me and I hope that with this, I can get back to my healthy body.

God bless us all and keep the faith intact!

An Upgrade for our beloved City!

Good day guys! For those who didn't know, our city just recently witnessed the opening of our first Mall here in our place, Gaisano Mall. Before the mall, we just had bars and restros all around town to fulfill the peoples need. We had minimarts and shopping centers scattered around the city but having this mall gave out town plus points in the commercial side.

Maybe the next step is to have our very own arena to hold both small and large events like basketball games and concerts, even theatrical plays. Just like in Philadelphia where they can buy Wachovia Center Tickets, Jeff Dunham Tickets and Jersey Boys Tickets. We can then attract local and national artists to schedule a live performance for the people to watch. It would be great!

But for a city of this size, we still need a lot of years to accomplish this feat. What is important is to continue to support the city's events and projects so that we will have a prosperous city.

Direct TV for a high fever!

Hello guys! I'm so busy during my Christmas vacation and this is the first day that I visited my blog again. Last saturday I was a bum. I have this high fever that reached 39 degrees Celsius which made me stay home and rest. Thank God I have Direct TV.

I've beeen subscribing Direct Tv in New York for a while as I watched all my favorate channels, movies and cartoons. I poped some corn, got some chips and dips and drowned myself in cola and "poof", the fever is no more! LOL! Now I can just feel my head aching, my fever is gone and tommorow's my first day of school. I wish I would be sick again so that I could watch my favorite channels again thanks to Directv, heheh.

Thanks for reading my blog! Happy new year! God bless you all and keep the faith intact!
