LUSCIOUS CRAVINGS

Turf: outside
Dash: out with mom

Luke 13:30

There are last who will be first,

and there are first who will be

last.

So, it's one of the usual day when my mom used to thug-me-along wherever she goes to, of course, it wasn't easy for mom to pull me out of the chair for there are still some dilly-dally on my parts before I get off my butt out of my lappy. Actually, it is one way of my mom to get distracted me for being so glued on my lappy my mom used to tell me "to take a walk and have some fresh air, staying in front of the laptop doesn't do good to you" which I admittedly accept the fact that she is definitely right. Anyway, this is not all about my post today.

One of the good thing I love going out with my mom is she never lets my stomach-cramps-to-death-of-hungriness rather she filled me up in the sense that I almost get bloated in fullness. Though, we usually ate in her few favorite fast food like Chowking, KFC, Jollibee etc., but today is different from the usual ff that we used to visit rather mom brought me to Red Ribbon (they also serve others meals besides their famous cake). Mom ordered for Palabok and Black Forest Cake (seems so enticingly delicious), one of the crew came and told me BFC wasn't available there is only one left on the shelves, so instead he offered as White Forest Cake (seems delicious too). So, I have told my mom to take the WFC since its a way new to my ear (I mean a new cake flavor from RR), don't crucify me if it isn't new at all, cause I'm being away in the Philippines for 5yrs and I haven't any single idea what's in and out. Enough of my wallowing.

But the soonest the cake arrived on white-platter mom told me right away to take it, I don't need ask for the reason "why" for I know by heart she loves chocolates very much, not-as-much as I like it. I want to refuse it either for I'm not a fun of cherries and white chocolate at all (for I'm a certified dark-chocolate-lovers), the sweet-tooth thing is not my cup of tea and specially when I saw the cherry-filling its like an ugh.... But there are no other choice but to take it and my gourmet taste doesn't failed me again. Its like giving you a diabetes on a first bite.

For 135ph cost per combo it's a way bearable but the WFC well, as I would say there is no repeat order for it.

LOVE IS ALL THAT MATTERS

Turf: in my bed

Dash: eating m&m and drinking coffee

1 Timothy 1:1

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ,

by the commandment of God our

savior and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Love is somewhat self-sacrificing or a painful one to be considered by so many. But LOVE is the most beautiful thing to hope for, Love is not sacrificing nor painful one. Pain gain through someone who hurt us, betrayed us, or leave us. It isn't LOVE who does this to us. Love does not cost anything bad to us nor harm us. To fall in love is like you meet heaven and earth, it's like a cloud nine and it's always excite us to wake up in the morning and see everything is quite fine and everything is so beautiful around us.

We are made for loving. If we don't love, we will be like plants without water.

--Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Nobel Peace Prize winner

People are unreasonable illogical,

and self-centered.

Love them anyway.

If you do good, people will

accuse you of selfish, ulterior

motives.

Do good anyway.

If you are successful, you will

win false friends and true

enemies.

Succeed anyway.

The good you do today will be

forgotten tomorrow.

Do good anyway.

Honesty and frankness makes you vulnerable.

Be honest and frank anyway.

The biggest person with the biggest idea can be

shot down by the smallest person with the smallest mind.

Think big anyway.

What you spend years building may

be destroyed overnight.

Build anyway.

People really need help but may attack if you help them.

Help people anyway.

Give the world the best you have

and you might get kicked in the teeth.

Give the world the best you've got anyway.

No matter what stone we trod in the road every day we must not take it as a reason not to go on living, and to take care, and to love. Love no matter what, always be inspired despite difficulties, travel the road seeing a bright future ahead. Life and love is a continuous process and the most adventurous one to take the journey.

Let us go forth, as called of God

THE IMAGINATIVE MOVIE WORLD

Turf: rolling up on my bed

Dash: just watched LTM

Psalm 13:31

How long, O Lord? Will you forget

me forever?

Our imaginative mind goes to the realm that we could only grasp through dreams. It's an adaptation of the movie world into a reality was somehow inevitably true or funny. Quite sometimes I'm putting my shoes into it, and I'm so honest about that. Deliriously laugh about the 3 stoogies brothers where they use to hit each others so foolishly, well it doesn't make any sense but we laugh about their corny jokes, actions and that's how life makes it easy for them. Making people laugh is somehow a good accomplishment and somehow can forget bad moods, disturbing neighbors, annoying dogs and cat meows in the middle of safe and sound sleep. I love watching movies but not all movies so quite picky about the stories (more actions, more fun...hahaha. No to violence). But I love watching actions movies, the kick fighting of Jackie Chan, Jet Lee, Bruce Lee, the bang bang shoot shoot of Angelina Jolie, Matt Damon, Bruce Willis, Nicholas Cage, Harrison Ford, etc., On the other side I am a soft hearted too, when I watch romantic movies of Julia Roberts, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Drew Barrymore they always makes me cry, and laugh so hardly on the kinkiness of Cameron Diaz I'm so crazy about her she so good from drama to romance to comedy ( a rolled into one characters).

Our character is like a role in movie film, changing one into another now you're happy, the next day your sad, on the other day your quite ecstatic, and in a few moments you are just in silence. But for me it's quite normal that's how our life evolve we are tested in each day and we need to survive in each trial. And in each survival we learned from it.

♥Quotes♥

When sorrows assails us or terror draw nigh,

His love will not fail us, He'll guide with his eye;

And when we are fainting and ready to fail,

He'll give what is lacking and make us prevail. --Anon

EAT.LOVE.PRAY

Turf: bedroom

Dash: watching movie

Psalm 119:173

Let Your hand become my help.

The movie. Yes, it is. I love the way how the story goes, it's very realistic. I fall in love with the movie, and with the character of Julia Roberts. It's happening, particularly with me. Times when you want to go to a distant land just by yourself, because you want to seek something lack, still more space to fill in. Thoughts are wild to tame up and need a broad answer to suffice it. Questions are hanging in your heads like a popping bubble, times when you just stare blankly looking oddly. Not even so appreciative about the surroundings, about the others. It's cloudy. You pray that you will perfectly live the life He wants for you, to smile brightly and never think about anything. Just like one ordinary day when you were just young and not thinking anything but to play, play, and play, and just be merry about everything. But curiosity eats you up. Is it really curiosity or unsatisfactory of yourself? It's only because exploring your own world is haunting you. Making it real in life is way too far, so many halting you and that's because you care. Still you need to go on and find the light that's leading you to the right path of life you long wanted to live.

“People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that’s what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life. “ --Fr. Stephen, MSC - Life Lessons Learned.

It's a rediscovering of oneself that finally leads to happiness and fullness of your being.

Fear not, I am with thee—O be not dismayed,
For I am thy God, I will still give thee aid;

RANDOM THOUGHTS #3 - HAVE FAITH IN GOD

Turf: in my haven

Dash: just clean up

 

Revelation 2:4

Nevertheless I have this against

you, that you have left your first

love.

Today is a pre-occupied day, getting up in bed at 11:00am, self-admit not a morning person. And well, another lazy blog of mine. My mind was so pre-occupied, clouded. Can’t think exactly, feeling tired, sluggish, euphoric, don’t know. I just cleaned up the room. Accomplished.

*****

I took this photo with my mobile yesterday night, after our prayer meeting.

I love the ray of light all over her...it's like a shining rays from up above. :)

I love their impromptu cute funny moments...

I love taking photo using mobile, in all angles I want.

*****

Prayer meeting yesterday night and the topic talks about faith. It says "faith is believing of what we do not see and the reward of faith is seeing of what we believe" - St. Augustine.

Here are some of the points on how to gain faith and why do we need to have faith.

1. There is now way to please GOD but to have faith.

2. Faith is the foundation of prayer power.

3. Faith makes the impossible possible. - (bible ref. Ephesians 3:20)

4. Faith is the key to salvation. (bible ref. Ephesians 2:8-10

5. Faith makes miracles happen

    If - We believe in God;
         Listen to the word of God
         Do whatever GOD says
         Follow the word of GOD

6. Faith makes the weak strong and victorious. (bible ref. Hebrews 11:32-34

7. Faith is the key to eternal life. (bible ref. John 11:21-27

These are the 7 points that are shared with us by our servant leader in our prayer meeting. It's successful as always. Full of joy and so many things I learn about faith.

THE LAZY BLOG

Turf: hook up on bed

Dash: just reading other blogs

1 Peter 4:12

Beloved do not think it strange

concerning the fiery trial which is

to try you.

I know laziness is just as bad as having a bad stomach or having a painful toothache. I try to work something on my blog after editing it for almost 4hrs or so I felt tired and find it a bit boring already. So, I stop. I had to admit that I'm easily getting bored on a routine work, it doesn't excite me than writing my head on my blogs. There are things that we do that we aren't supposed to do, but we do because itis necessary. Like we don't have any option, unlike a cell phone menu where you can select delete, reply, forward or edit the text. As human we only have two options each either we do it or not to do. Time flies so I must not waste any single moment or second that I have, yet here I am having the "Mañana Habit". Done. It's bad. Need to resolve this right away.

Acting is easier - writing is more creative. The lazy man vies with the industrious.

William Shatner

...I may not be the same as yesterday, but I am much better today and tomorrow's ahead. I will. I must. And I do.

VAMOSSSS RAFFFAA!!!

Turf: laying around the bed
Dash: just watched Roland Garros final

1 Timothy 4:12

Be example to the believers

in word,

in conduct,

in love....in faith,

in purity.

the tears of joy

There could be a thousand words to describe the feelings of winning the game you almost wish for as a nice birthday present. It's been 5 consecutive titles that Rafa won in Roland Garros from 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2010 and 2011 it's his 6th titles tying with Bjorn Borg (a Swedish player too) who first gained the 6 titles in Roland Garros in 1974, 1975, 1978, 1979, 1980, and in 1981. Its history and Rafa is just creating history for the future tennis champion. The match between the Spaniard and the Swiss is at a boiling point they have their own desire to win -- Rafa for his 6th titles to tie with Bjorn Borg who created history then in 1981, Roger to make a comeback and prove himself to the clay court as he only a 1 time winner at Roland Garros on 2009 after beating Robin Soderling who then becoming the first and, to date, the only player to defeat Nadal at the French Open in the same year in Roland Garros. On the first set of the match Roger was in a high spirited he led to 5-2 until Rafa gets back his rhythm and finish the 1st set to 7-5, 2nd set turns into Rafa's favor as he leads it and finish the 2nd set with 7-6 it's a really tight match as you can see. Rogers' makes a hit in the 3rd as he lead the set and finish it with 5-7, but you can't expect what will happen next as if your grasping into a shallow dark night as everything turn into a surprised and unexpected result in every set end, then 4th set was finally a decision making for Rafa if he will allow Roger to make a return then it would be a tie breaking set for the two in the 5th set of the match, but then Rafa is really unstoppable at the moment, and Roger unluckily commit so many unforced error in the match, as it make it easy for Rafa to lead on the 4th set and Rafa ended it with a glorious score of 6-1.

the fruit of his labor

I can't hear people supporting of who's who they're shouting for, all I can hear is myself saying "Go Rafa" "Smash it Down" (sorry I'm a bit bias on this part for I really bet Rafa) I'm shouting out loud in my own kingdom in the middle of the night as if I'm also inside Court Philippe Chartrier (but I was helplessly watching in front of the lappy via a live streaming - thanks for the wonder of the fiber-optic-lines) as if Rafa can hear my utmost support for him to go on and make a win for the match. So, indeed Rafa is shouting to his own boosting words "VAMOOSSS RAFAAAA!!!!". I could hear him loudly as if I was just in front of him, it's how he pushes himself to go and fight the good fight and take the winner's seat. Each one of us has its own boosting words to uplift our confidence it's how we are calling the good vibrations... as other says "GV GV GV or good vibes good vibes good vibes". Well, it helps a lot though sometimes we think what the use of shouting a word like that what's going to happen for some reason we might not see the apparent result of it, but in general it boosts our confidence in some ways.

...I'm smiling at the moment and so thankful to GOD that Rafa's win for this is one of my wish and prayer for him. I can say I have a good night, good morning... whatsoever, it's late in the evening and early in the morning at 2:53am but I'm here writing a pathetic blog. hahaha. Sorry for that, just want to share the ecstatic feeling I had one right now.

THE BLANK POST OF THOUGHTS

Turf: in my haven

Dash: just sitting

John 15:3

You are clean because of

the word which I have spoken to

you.

 

I try and reduce myself to an almost blank slate and hope to God that I am creative.

--Ben Kingsley--

Sometimes there are thoughts that are coming in, but it's so random that you cannot exactly pick up the essence, so you just left staring blankly in front of your lappy and you just see the white thing in front of you so blank but you want to put some words on it but it juggles. Gospel songs are playing and it's uplift your spirit. No, it's not that you feel lazy or just want to  lay around. Well, it's Sunday why not everybody is at home doing nothing, as the heat of the sun is too overpowering can't think if I'm going to have a good nap or just read one of my books that has been trap in a four corner of the box. Well, am thinking if I'm going to freed one of them and feed myself a new word. As the tree vines have dancing as the wind blows and the sunlight gives them the energy to survive each day. The hot days are so gruelling that it dries to the meaty thoughts that is popping in, maybe just need to relax a bit since I slept so late like 4:30ish in the morning for no reason at all as I was caught an attended of the time and so busy googling everything on the internet, or maybe one reason is that the caffeine is still active in my veins that keeps me so actively awake till late in the morning and could able to get up at 6ish in the morning to say my morning prayer. Thank God and Glory to God.

...will take a nap or maybe read about one of the books. Still undecided. :)

THE AMAZING SEMIS IN ROLAND GARROS

Turf: just on the side

Dash: having lunch

Nahum 1:7

The LORD is good, a stronghold in

the day of trouble; and HE knows

those who trust in him.

Rafa vs. Andy

IMAGE: GETTY IMAGES

Yesterday was the big awaiting moment in Roland Garros it semis and it was played by four big amazing players No. 1 seed Rafael Nadal against Andy Murray, 3rd seed Roger Federer vs. Novak Djokovic all is intense I guess as everybody is waiting for the result as who is going to stand out on the clay court. As I patiently watch the live streaming in my lappy, though it's a bit annoying 'cause the signal is so poor that it 'cause to be freezing every second but it doesn't give me the reason not to finish the game. I saw the standout performance of the two players it's Rafa against Andy (what you will expect but great game). Rafa's performance doesn't shake, he's flying like an eagle with his topspin, drop shot, and his surprising shot on the sideline which is all IN was amazingly surprising. Amazing indeed! But in between Andy did an amazing job as well as he makes a tie break too, and stole a 2 break points from Rafa besides his problem in his ankle he still showed performance that level up to the expectation of his supporters. Andy did his best, but as we all knew there will be only one winner to be called and as far as Rafa is concerned we all knew that he has been tagged as "King of Clay" and also, claim as being a best court clay player ever by some great player and Andy was one to admit.

The rally of the two was indeed a very exciting and grilling one to watch, both have their own pressure cooker to cook on it's Rafa's birthday at the moment on his call of duty, while Andy is watch by his many supporters too in his own homeland, of course they are expecting him to win too. It's Spain vs. Scotland but Spaniard won the battle and the game ended up with the very good score of 6-4 7-5 6-4.

Need to leave here just for now, I need to grab a food my stomach is empty since yesterday night due to a detoxification.

Sorry for a dark blog yesterday. Emotions are just overflowing can't keep it inside sometimes.

JUST MY VOICE IS TELLING IT'S TOO LOUD TO HEAR

Turf: nothing else

Dash: just reading some blogs

Nahum 1:7

The LORD is good, a stronghold in

the day of trouble; and he knows

those who trust in him.

“We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls.”

 Mother Teresa

Sometimes it is best to pour the feelings in words and write it on as an abstract of emotions, than concealed it which 'cause a rather deep problem. Sealed the lips, throwing words is rather more hurtful, there is a saying that "words is mightier than swords" and I believe in that too. Sometimes, the words just came pouring out as the rain can be, and the wind is blowing you away to a distant place that no one can hear you but you yourself and like the echoing silence sometimes its too deafening, all you wanted is to shout from the top of your lungs before it will explode. But one way or another it just one good outlet to release it.

...too dramatic I guess but that's life. It's one of  the spices of life that makes it more exciting each day. Am getting too boring in here. Oh yeah! Don't mind me. Live life to the fullest thing that you can be, 'cause life is too short to waste on anger, hatred, enviousness, etc., we should appreciate life for real not on any fancy thing that can only be rotten someday.

...I'm getting irrelevant here so I stop before my battery drains out.

Joy is the most infallible sign

BOOK SHELVES #1

Turf: in the four corner

Dash: rummaging my books box

1 John 1:5-10

O God, You know my foolishness;

and my sins are not hidden from

You.

Everybody has a bestfriend if other says a man's bestfriend is "dog" for me is "books". When I enter the mall there is one place that only comes in my mind bookstore, it's like an addiction. Well, who doesn't, but I just don't grab a book and look for the cover if it is nice or good. Well, the main factor in buying a book is the Title and then read the sypnosis at the back of the book. I love books who makes me a rounded person, lots of info that I delve into and apply in my everyday life. I took a photo of a few books that I had in my books box just for your reference or you might be interested to read one of this book someday.

1. I Will Not Fear - this book is very much old not because I don't know how to take care of my books but I bought it in a Booksale, when we talk about a book I don't care if I will buy this in a bookseller as long as it contains information that is meaty to read and I find it more interesting. Anyway, about the book it's an inspirational poems, a very uplifting one it's applicable when you are so down and need enlightenment. Of course, the best book for enlightenment is non-other than but "Bible".

2. Single Servings - why I bought it, because as individuals I need a devotional inspiration for the daily life.

3. I Love You I Hate You - I bought this book when my relationship was in a topsy-turvy, this book helps me how to iron things out in a more positive way.

I still have lots of book in my stash as I've said earlier it's one of my best friend beside my human bff. I can pick up some pieces of advice that actually applicable to my situation at times and it opens up my mind to become more positive and understanding in the same way.
