248. Dumb Sheep
0
Read More »
Ever wondered why we are
likened to a sheep in the Bible? If one is to think very negatively, it’s
actually “insulting”. But Biblically, it overlaid that fact and signified
overflowing compassion and love abundance.
The Parable of the Lost Sheep
15 Now the tax collectors and sinners were all gathering around to hear Jesus. 2 But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law muttered, “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.”
3 Then Jesus told them this parable: 4 “Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? 5 And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders 6 and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’ 7 I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.

And hopefully we could spend an out-of-town or out-of-the-country together!!

245. Thankful Thursday
0
Read More »
Not the typical thank you Thursday that I write. :) Yup, that's me up there earlier today. That's actually a screencap of what Luke posted in our LoveByte app (one cheesy sweet app hahaha!). Ako na nagpaalaga! Haha! But first thankful, that nothing really bad health-wise. That was me sleeping after an IV of pampakalma that was needed to be injected because of the uneasiness and restlessness effect of another drug. Grabe no? Haha! But no, it's not something really bad. That was in ER by the way and I wasn't confined. I got discharged right away too. Thankful that I have my loving boyfriend to take care of me that moment, even coming from his workplace.
Dear Lord, I know that this is a gentle reminder of taking care of myself, of my body. Thank you for providing me the means to do so.

244. Legit VLs
0
Read More »
Half-a-year indeed passed by and I’m now a regular employee
with my current role as a Business Analyst. What a way to celebrate is by filing
a two-day VL. That was my first ever legit VL spent last Monday-Tuesday just waking
up beyond the alarm and strolling around the city, got to skip the rush hour part. I was able to watch a
movie and stroll inside the malls while the sun’s still up and not yet flocked
with people who usually pass through after work shifts.
Monday: It’s a movie Monday and we watched Pacific Rim. If you are familiar with Ayala malls’ ticket stubs,
there’s a tiny stub for Timezone and we made use of it. And while we’re in
Timezone we took videos just for fun haha! And I’ve compiled the videos of some
of the games we played.
243. Unsolicited Take: Pacific Rim

My favorite line from the movie: "Stop the clock." It's a reminder that every bad thing happening has its end.

It's a Monday movie edition!! Yep, last Monday, I was able
to watch Pacific Rim. However, we planned watching it via IMAX 3D but it's so
costly for our pocket's sake, downgraded to 2D. I've seen the trailer while
watching one movie and it got my mind's curiosity.
When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity's resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes - a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi) - who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankind's last hope against the mounting apocalypse. Written by Del Torro
It’s a robot movie; a machine movie, heavy mechanics and
electrics movie. Versus monsters. If you’re a fan of Voltes V, Daimos,
Evangelion, Gundam, I think you’ll also get to like this movie. At first, I was
already getting bored; the good thing about the movie is that it’s getting
exciting towards the end. I find it fast paced though with a timeline and with
a lot of story lines squeezed in one sitting. There was this some 20 years ago
some five years ago; and then there was a father-daughter, collector,
scientists, etc. At some point I felt like there is too much going on in the
movie. Anyway, the main point is the robots vs. the monsters. If you ever
watched any of the cartoons/animes I mentioned above and include Ultraman in
that list, you’ll basically have an idea that the movie comprises a lot of
combats between the protagonist mechanics versus some antagonist sea creatures.
Basically, that’s it, and the movie revolves around figuring out how to defeat
the monster – identifying its strengths and weaknesses, how it/they arise/s,
when, where, their origin etc. On the other hand, it’s how about planning the
attacks, finding the perfect pair who would control the robot, etc. Just add
some factors of The Core, and the drama of Armageddon, the Pacific Rim
storyline is complete. For the visuals, it’s eye candy.
My favorite line from the movie: "Stop the clock." It's a reminder that every bad thing happening has its end.
On a moral point of view, nakssss, I liked that simple
thought that we can defeat our bad memories of yesterday, our thinking and
negativity caused by the downbeat past which has been bothering us and think of the present, we have the power to control the present and eventually fight for the future.

Style Tuesday: Maternity Peg
0
Read More »
I have always been a fan of Kate Middleton. My fondness of her went to a notch higher, and not just some princess-wanna-be fancy, when I’ve watched her biography. And since I’ve known a bit of her life story, she somehow became a life peg – of gaining self-confidence, of her humble path towards being a princess, of being elegantly simple. As the buzz is all about her very near due, the arrival of the royal baby, my latest liking turned towards her maternity style. I maybe still far from having a baby, but, she’s already in the list of my maternity pegs, most especially in the way she styles herself. I like how simple and elegant (as always!) she dons herself, even during pregnancy. Yet, she also manages to mix high street style and high end sophisticated brands – she’s actually wearing two Topshop dresses on the photos above! Being pregnant, a woman should still look her best and not “manangly”! But of course, more than these brands is how she’s blooming and beautiful as a mommy-to-be.

239. Persistence in Prayer
0
Read More »
Sometimes, we are so persistent in
“pestering” our parents, boyfriends, siblings, clients, or whoever in getting
what we want. Or maybe we, ourselves, are so determined in getting what we
want for ourselves i.e. saving too much to the point of starvation just to buy
that pair of shoes or that signature bag. For guys, maybe they tend to be “pushy” in courting a girl they really like. How about in prayer? How about in
asking God for the things we want, or rather, for the things He wants and
long-planned for us? How persistent are we?

234. Half-year Resolutions
0
Read More »
Just like that and it’s the second half of the year already! How swift time flies! I like to believe that my first-half wasn’t bad at all but not that thrilling as well. I have the second-half though and I want to be as productive as I could be – in all possible aspects. I’m listing down some of my second-half resolutions/wishes/to-dos to help myself make the rest of 2013 the best year so far!
