Umm... is it bad that I can't stop watching JabbaWokeeZ?

I played their 4th episode routine for at least the 30th time tonight...

And I'm still not tired of it. =( YEAH I WANT IT! Give it to me! (okay.. ignore that..)

Mario Lopez... PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! Stop trying to say "Aight." You can't... It's not "Aight" for you to say it. LOL!

Yeahhhhhh.... I should be sleeping now. I still don't know what to wear for Jamie's debut. Oh my! Jamie's 18! Kahit hindi na kami close tulad ng dati, I'm SOOOOO happy for her. Sana magstay na siya sa church. Nakakamiss din siya.

I wish working at church gets me paid because I'd rather work there than anywhere else. lol. I need a job. Well, not really. I want one. I just don't want to be home all the time this summer. I want a reason to go out and if that means work, then so be it.

I think it's too early for a midlife crisis. I'm only 20. =S

Nakakasawa. 

WARNING: Serious Moment. lol! Okay, that was a bit too early for a comic relief. ANYWAY...

Right now, I am excited over something I don't even know. All I know that no matter how bad the way it is to get there, it will be something good!

I now realize how narrow I see things in my life. I'm so concentrated in passing all my courses just so I can graduate. And maybe get married, have kids, and blah blah blah & more blahs. You know, go through life with ups and downs. Of course, I think of sharing God's love to other people through my life. But there's something more to my life than just going through it.

I attended my church's youth group's Power Session Online today and we were singing the song "In Me" by Casting Crowns. God spoke to me through one line of the song that goes:

I'd give my last breath for Your glory.

It hit me so hard, I felt really uneasy. Then I thought, if this is God's Kingdom I'm living in, and my breath should be His... then every little thing about me should be for His glory. And that I am where I stand for a reason.

So I asked so many questions... Why did God let me study? And why this program? And why is He letting me have a hard time getting the mark I want? Why did I fail some courses and why did pass some? Why did He open me up to so many opportunities? Why is He closing the door on some? Why did God put Pao in my life? Why am I friends with my friends? Why did He let me have a blog? Why am I born in this generation? Etc, etc, etc. There was WAY TOO MANY QUESTIONS TO ASK!

And... I got no answer. All I know is that it will be exciting! The little things that we don't question is part of God's Kingdom - the big picture. And honestly, this is making me feel soooo small yet so wanted. I am part of a plan that I'm not even qualified to do on my own.

Every BREATH it is, Sir Jesus! I will be depending on you the whole way! 

GAH! Playing around with this. This is due on Sunday and I barely started... Bleh!

IDEAS PEOPLE, please.?

[edit] THIS IS FAR FROM FINAL! hahaha, Just to let you know.

[edit ulit] This is NOT the design anymore. LOL! And I got the best comment ever from Rome! Thanks Rome!

Please answer the question.

When you think of "freedom," what's the first image that comes to mind?

(Thanks Rome!)

I just realized that I passed the point in my life where I can eat anything I want and not get fat.

Yes, I do realize it. I am getting fat.

(Thanks to the boyfriend for talking to everyone about it.. pft!) 

So what is Cute Plush? Hand-made, one of a kind, super-cute products! We offer hats, jewelry, keychains, phone charms, stickers, pillows and more! All extremely adorable, inspired by Japan, and waiting to come home with you!

Cute Plush

10 second "slow dance" of Jaren and myself at Jamie's debut. =) Yay! Thank you, Jab!

[edit] Credits to Marielle D for the footage.

anyone know the song playing?

I know Beej told me to behave, so I will. (Sorry guys, I love the guy. LOL). But I WILL post the video just as promised to people I promised to. HAHA!

Confused? Well, the paparazzi that I am, I was able to record my cousin Beej to say who he secretly loves. Haha! But I'll split this in a few episodes. (Like a Tele-Novela?) Yeah, I got enough footage to actually make episodes. haha!

A lot of people have been guessing and trying to catch me say yes. I don't say anything because you're all wrong! LOL! The people who REALLY know are: Beej (of course), Me, Hanie, Jen, and Carlo R.

So the clue is 147. I LOVE _ _ _ _ _ _ _.  =) 

Episode 1 will air soon. 

... WALLPAPER!

The Simpsons + Apple Inc. = See Below. <3

"You are my supply, my breath of life,

Still more awesome than I know.

You are my reward, worth living for.

Still more awesome than I know..." 

"You're my coming King, You're my everything!"

I know I am not blogging as much as I used to... Tabulas is letting me down for the n^th time. And I have been spending a lot more time with... my new universe.

My inspiration (as I'd like to proclaim, lol) introduced me to Netvibes. What a delicious piece of Web 2.0-ness. <3

Netvibes is like the Dashboard app in a Mac, the desktop gadgets on a Vista, or the Yahoo! Widgets app. What's different about this is its in a browser which won't leech out RAM with an app that is playing in the background even when its unused. And it's not as messy as the Facebook apps and people will not be forced to invite someone to add a certain widget where you have to constantly press the "ignore" button. (Oh, you know what I'm talking about.)

At first when I joined it was a bit like a private profile where only the person logged in can see the contents. It wasn't really much of a networking area but an organizing area. Its a place where one can put your e-mail, Friendster, MySpace, Facebook, and maybe you can throw in a random game of Tetris, all in one page. You can even have feeds of your friends' blogs all in one page so you don't have to blog hop from one page to another everyday to check who blogged something new. BUT if you don't want them all in one page then you can add another page to organize more things! You can have a tab for work-related things, and another tab for more exciting things. It felt like I bought a new drawer from IKEA but I can put Facebook in it. Lol!

Then it got MORE exciting...

The whole thing was skinnable but I really didn't see a point if others wouldn't be able to see it. Then last week I got an alert saying I should upgrade to the newer version of Netvibes so I registered. I poked around to see what's new and saw that I could have 2 pages. A private page where only I can see the contents and MY UNIVERSE for everyone to see. Yummay! I haven't really done much with my universe but I will ... just as soon as I get a lot of things out of the way.

I know, I'm sounding like an ad, but it's so good! If you join, don't forget to let me know! I'd like to check out your universe. =)

Tabulas, please learn from Netvibes. As much as I love and stay faithful to you (4 years and 6 months so far) ... you're pulling me down.

[edit] My Private Page has a fishtank. =)

I will be leaving tomorrow morning for Winter Camp. I can't wait!

2 days and 1 night. =) Yay!

I admit!!! I am in serious need of this.

I'll see you guys tomorrow! Sorry I can't make it today! HAVE FUN! 

I've been getting interested in typography lately. =) I need to learn more about this.

Yummy!

... And in defensive mode.

[edit] 

I am bigger than any kind of sin. It will not master me. I am a child of God. I have the power to cast out the devil, who is alive and well, away from me because I have Christ's name in me. I have received the gift of the Son of God in me and He sits on the throne of my heart. I am a soldier of Christ, fully equipped to fight against sin. The devil has been defeated and because God has set me free, I will not make it a wasted love. I will stay free. Chains no more.

It's hard to know when I'm victorious or just a step on getting there in this spiritual battle. I guess I'm being human again, always asking "Why?" But I don't need to know. All I know that it's going to be good. It's going to be amazing. It might not be what I want right now, but if it's in "the plan" then it must be incredible. Gotta have faith in the Planner!

I'm hurt, I'm in pain, and really wouldn't want to be here right now. But I'm in this place for a reason. Peace and joy through the pain is helping lots.

Jesus, you're the only love I need.

"Nothing outside a man can make him 'unclean' by going into him. Rather, it is what comes out of a man that makes him 'unclean.' " "... For from within, out of men's hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. All these evils come from inside and make a man 'unclean.' "

- Mark 7:14-15,21-23 

Beauty comes from within is probably said a lot but I really never understood the true meaning of it until now. I've always thought that as long as I'm nice and friendly to people - that's inner beauty. But it's not.

What's in my mind and in my heart is what makes one beautiful from the inside. Honestly, I may act nice to someone but at the same time I could be hiding hate or anger towards that person. It's hard for me to admit, but my heart and my mind is far from being beautiful. There are so many bad, hateful, dirty, and cruel thoughts are always in my mind and heart. And I guess I explode these out sometimes because I keep it in, and what's in the mind and heart is what will eventually come out for everyone to see.

What goes on in the physical is the result of what's going on inside.

The ugliness is not something that possessed me. It's something that originated within me. I want to be beautiful inside and out.

A photoshop disaster.

"...when I take a look around, everybody seems so strong. I know they'll soon discover that I don't belong. So I tuck it all away, like everything's okay. If I make them all believe it, maybe I'll believe it too. So with a painted grin, I play the part again, so everyone will see me the way that I see them."

I am no different from you. I am not any better than you. I have felt the emptiness in standing in His presence. I've felt ashamed singing "these are holy hands" when I know where these hands have been. I have felt angry towards my family, my friends, and the church. I am weak. I am struggling. I am ashamed of my past, so ashamed that I hide it because I don't want anyone know. I don't want anyone to turn around and walk away...

I am not any different.

I learned in camp that one motivator to stop doing the wrong thing is fear. I guess that's what happened when scary choices are given or to call someone "stupid." But fear doesn't last. It goes away and people end up falling for the conflict. The best motivator to do the right thing is Love. Jesus' love. Because it lasts. His love endures forever.

Some people think they're protecting. They have good intentions, but it won't work. Tell me, would you listen to someone who calls you stupid?

Sigh...

You're a smart girl. =) Good job.

I love you! 

Isn't it frustrating sometimes?

God gives and then after that asks to let go. For what? To let God do the rest?

AHHHHHHH!!!!!!

I trust YOU! >_<

[edit] I like the song but I'm not feeling it. I CAN BREATHE FINE! =)

A friend sent me this but he doesn't know who the artist is.

This is kind of old. I've been thinking of blogging about this but every time I log into tabulas, I forget. Haha!

This is an promotional tool for the movie Water Horse - The Legend of the Deep. It is a very elaborate way of promoting a movie. They combined the light projections of the Lochness monster, water jets, and great timing to create the illusion of the monster coming out of Tokyo Bay.

Here's a video clip:

Well aren't these interesting?

This is a very strange way to learn English.

HAHAHAHA! Try this out!

Thanks Myron! =)

It's Iza's debut! Everyone go greet her! lol So I decided to post something related to debuts. Well... not quite. lol!

This is an art installment of 5 dresses worn by 5 woman that functions as a pavillion. As part of the installation, they had a party in the dresses.

I totally lost track of time and I didn't even notice how much time I have left for anything academic: NOT MUCH. So everything is due this week and I've got nothing done. This should never happen again...

Anyone who needs to talk, my line is usually free. ^^ I'm here.

That's so adorable!

Total eye-candy.
