I spent my whole sunday morning at the church listening to the preaching of our pastor. Normally i would fall asleep during the sermon, but miraculously i ended up listening attentively throughout the meeting. It was an inspiring topic that was preached awhile ago, The message was about how God is always there along with us even the times of failures and confusions in life. No matter how we neglect and turn our back on the Lord, he never fails to leave us.
Another topic was the service that you have to offer to the Lord. God's purpose for us is to serve him humbly and love him fervently. We have our own special gift from God, some could lead, pray, inspire people, worship, and etc. all you have to do is use it . Eventhough things don't fall in place doesn't mean we have to stop serving him. If we truly Love the Lord we must do it regardless the bad situation we are experiencing.
These Topic is an eye-opener for me, reminding me once again that i have to go back serving and loving him. That the true meaning of life is to God alone. Live my life to him and no one else. Relying on God instead of my own knowledge and understanding. Lots of times i felt that i'm not deserve to be loved by God, but no matter what I done, God is always there to guide me along the way. I'm awfully far from God at this moment, due to busy schedules and engaging to some other things..Having this kind of condition really gives me a hard time going through with my life. I just want to go back and once again have the zealous heart to love the Lord again.
Have a nice day!!!

Book Review: 90 Minutes in Heaven by Don Piper
A true to life story of a pastor named Don Piper who died on January 18, 1989 when a truck crushed his Ford Escort in a head-on collision while on his way home from a church conference. He experienced the glories of heaven for 90 minutes, where he was greeted by his deceased Christian relatives and to those who had influenced him spiritually. He was delighted with his reunion of his loved ones in heaven, were he experienced joy, peace and contentment. A passing minister who had also been at the conference felt that he had to pray for the accident victim even though he was told Piper was dead. Miraculously, Piper came back to life. For years Don Piper kept his heavenly experience to himself. But his family convinced him to share this remarkable story for people to be inspired and encouraged.
This book talks about his life after the accident, how he suffered physically, mentally, and emotionally. He was full of questions on why he was sent back to earth after experiencing the beauties of heaven. Why he had a unique privilege of going to heaven? He doesn't understand what 's the purpose of God for him to return to earth only to suffer from his physical injuries. His faith in God was severely tested as he faced an uncertain and grueling recovery. He was so depressed and self-pity during those times as he described the constant pain and sufferings. Wanting to give up and go back to heaven where he yearns to be. This book gives the description of what heaven is like. That heaven is real and a wonderful place to live for eternity. The beauty of heaven is incomparable, with heavenly music and everything is brilliantly intense, . He never felt the kind of joy that he was experiencing in heaven, all his griefs and worries were gone. Only Joy and Peace was all he felt, eventhough he knew that he would be separated from his family, but still he would choose to stay there.
During the time on the hospital, he never said anything to his friend or family on what he encountered in heaven. He felt that it was too personal, too private, and too intimate to share it. So he kept it for over a year without telling anybody. But not too long he shared it to one of his friend, and eventually he was encouraged to share it to people who needed spiritual healing and uplifting. People whom had the same experience that needed to be inspired or hearten through the times of their distress. And miracoulously it helped a lot of people, and eventually many believed and once again has the intense desire to nurture their relationship with God.
Overall, i was impressed of Don Piper for being so honest and true to his feelings. He undergo a lot of sufferings but still he managed to get up and be a living testimony to others. I was so delighted with his incredible journey, and every detail of heaven is so vivid that i could actually pictured out everything that had happened. It was a very wonderful experience to have gone to a place were everything is so PERFECT. It took him a decade to write this book, and it's really amazing of him to share it to us.

Product Review: Cosmetic Lenses
I'm currently using Geo Angel Brown.:) Bought this at around 1100 from a multiply seller. This contact lens is disposal for 1 year. Worth the price.:) I just love the "enlarging eye effect" of it. As you can see, the halo part makes the iris appears bigger, no need to use eyeliner to make your eyes looks ravishing. Comfort wise, it doesn't dry easily and sometimes i worn it for more than 10 hours without having my eyes irritated. I chose this color because of it's natural look. These lenses are best fit for asian. Planning to buy more colors for some time, i love to indulge myself to the beauty of these contact lenses:)

Heart Attack Grill-Quadruple Bypass Burger
When i saw this ad somewhere over the net, i was shocked and at the same time my stomach starts to rumble. So yummy!!!! I'm hoping that somebody would franchise this Burger Joint here in the Philippines. By the way, this Fastfood is called "Heart Attack Grill". I've found some interesting article here:
The Heart Attack Grill is a Chandler, Arizona burger restaurant that has become internationally known for serving incredibly large, unhealthy hamburgers and for its criticism by the Arizona Board of Nursing and Baltimore-based Center for Nursing Advocacy for putting its waitresses in naughty nurse uniforms.The Heart Attack Grill is a hospital theme restaurant. The restaurant, founded in 2005 by Jon Basso who calls himself "Dr. Jon" and dresses in a white doctor's lab coat. Basso designed the theme of the restaurant with the intent of serving "nutritional pornography". Customers are referred to as "patients," orders as "prescriptions," and the waitresses as "nurses."
The menu includes "Single," "Double," "Triple," and "Quadruple Bypass" hamburgers, ranging from half a pound to two pounds of beef, "Flatliner Fries" (cooked in pure lard), cigarettes, beer and liquor, and soft drinks. The names imply coronary artery bypass surgery, and refer to the danger of developing atherosclerosis from the food's high proportion of saturated fat and excessive caloric content.
The Quadruple Bypass burger has 8,000 calories. Customers who finish a Triple or Quadruple Bypass burger are pushed in wheelchairs to their cars by the waitresses. The waitresses' nurse costumes and behavior have caused the most controversy. The waitresses wear crosses on their nurse hats, thigh-high fishnet stockings, short skirts, and low-cut tops. On occasion, they sit at the table with customers while they eat, role-play as nurses, or even jump into the arms of their customers.

Benefit: Eyecon
I'm dealing with racoon eyes caused by genetics, and I'm really having a hard time concealing my eyebags and dark circles. I've been using lots of concealer and double face powder just to cover the dark circles. So I was surfing over the net to look for some effective cream that can help me eliminate the dark circles and puffiness of my eyes. I come across of this product and i'm planning to purchase one. I've read a lots of good reviews that it's very effective and it can also moisturized and softens the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Retail price for this product is $30, a bit expensive for a small jar. But if it would really do the job then i think maybe i would try buying one for myself.

Twilight: Midnight Sun
For Twilight Lovers, i think you all know that "Midnight Sun" is supposedly the next project of Stephenie Meyer. This story is about Edward's version of twilight. It would be retelling the events of twilight but written from the perspective of Edward. However it was put on hold indefinetely because it was illegally posted on the internet without the knowledge or permission of the author. It was so sad because i was looking forward to it. This novel would give the readers the chance to understand more on Edward's character and his thoughts toward bella from the first time he met her. It's hard for every twilight fan to wait and hope for the story to be finished because after reading the incomplete draft, i felt that i needed more and i couldn't stop thinking what would be the insights of Edward in some other chapters.. Stephenie Meyer has posted the incomplete draft of the story on her website. I wish she would continue this project and have this book published soon. It would be a great gift for every twilight lovers to have the chance to know more the major character of the novel. I hope that the author would changed her mind and pursue this novel.

Book Review: New Moon
I just finished reading the second saga of twilight series "New Moon". The story is nice beacause it gives the reader another mythical fantasy, though it's kinda dramatic especially the part were Edward leaves bella. I abhor the part where Bella was struggling for months to forget Edward and her growing relationship with Jacob. Edward barely appears in this book and I know that many readers are quite taken with him, and would naturally want him to be featured prominently in this sequel. I want the story to revolve more on Bella and Edward so it was kind of dissapointing that Jacob has taken the place of Edward and becomes the major character in the story. The story is nice though, because it gives the reader an another unexpected twist and will definetely entertain the twilight lovers once again. Stephenie Meyer has captured and enhanced my imagination in this novel, somehow managing to make me think everything in this book truly happened. I'm anxiously waiting for me to have a time so i could finish reading the third book of the twilight series.:)

Foever Dead Movie Review
I just saw this film awhile ago, and the movie sucks!!!! Never seen a movie that has a very low budget production. I think this movie is made by a group of friends who decided to make a movie out of boredom. Without using a tripod or anything that can hold the camera, the picture kept on moving and it made me so dizzy, the camera is also positioned in stupid angles and with those incredible closeups to the face of the victims. I'm a fan of Zombie flicks, but this movie is far different and is definetely the worsts ever. The "gory" scenes are so fake, blood looks like food coloring, and having "rabbit" as zombies??. I don't know about using all the "Fat Ones" as victims, acting is so lame like they just hire somebody nearby. It's just so darn funny because character randomly appear and dissapear in the movie. For people who are zombie flick lovers, i think you may want to skip this. Believe me it's a complete trash and a waste of time watching this.

Product Review: Benefit That Gal
I bought this product for the reason of it's good reviews, and i was so intrigue with it's brightening effect. This product actually make my face smoother and brighter at the same time but in natural effect. I have to reapply every other hour because it doesn't stay put on my face for long because of the hot weather. It also moisturize the face, and definetely it's a big no-no for people who has oily skin. For application just twist the base until the primer is distributed on the top. Apply with fingertips onto the face. Blend this silky pink primer in an even, upward motion. This primer can be wear alone or as makeup base. It definetely covers the pores or blackheads, and it makes the face appear radiant with soft & silky finish. It is easy to apply, it's a silky liquid type so it can easily be spread and it absorbs instantly after application. The floral scent of it adds sexiness. It's a bit expensive, but definetely worth it.:)
Twilight FANATIC!
I'm so excited to watch the movie TWILIGHT!! i really can't wait on Nov 21 for the showing of the movie. I've heard a rumor that it would be moved to Nov 26..(I really hoped not). Actually these past few weeks I'm not that anticipated for the showing of the movie since i haven't read the book at that time, but just 2 days ago i went to my sister's room and saw the book lying on her bed. I was so curious on why people are so frantic about it that they dedicated a lot of site with matching countdown till the opening of the movie. So i get the book and tried reading it...and damn! i was hooked and i instantly become an avid fan! Ive changed my Pc desktop wallpaper to twilight's movie poster, I've been reading some reviews and interviews of the cast & crews, and looking for some twilight merchandises..haha I was so eager that i've seen all the feauturettes and behind the scenes of twilight from youtube...OMG,I sound like an obesessive freak!!! At First I thought this book wouldn't fascinate me since i have read lots of novels about vampires but it didn't stir me a bit, but this book becomes my favorite and planning to read it again before the opening of the movie. I was so amazed on how the story goes..and the story is so romantic that sometimes i have to go back to certain pages to read it again. While reading the book, it seems that all the characters were alive, as if the story is not just fictional. I felt kind of strange with the whole addiction value. haha I'm just starting to read New Mooon, i hoped it would be as good as the first one, but i heard a lot of critics that the second one is not that good since the story of the second saga is more on Jacob Black and Bella instead of Edward & Bella. I'm overjoyed just watching the trailers on youtube, the scenes were breathtaking that i was like hyperventilated for a few minutes watching the clips. The trailer is beyond awesome!!! i believe that the movie will be a BLAST! i really hoped that i could watch the movie at the exact day of the openning!!!! I'm sooooo excited!!!!!

My First Paranormal Encounter
Eversince i was a kid i always believed in ghost. Every story i heard from my mom and friends never fails to scare the wits out of me. Maybe it's because my mom instills them to me that ghost do really exists, through her experiences and encounters of the paranormals she truly believes that ghost are everywhere. Everything that my mom told me about her encounters were true and eerie. That sometimes just thinking about it can give me wild imginations, and no matter how hard i tried to push those thoughts away, it kept on creeping back into my mind. Well, My first experience was 3-4 years ago. I was washing my face at our bathroom at exactly 11:50pm, while washing my face, in the corner of my eye i saw something moving at the floor outside of the bathroom, a piece of white lace clothing has passed, as if it's being dragged by an invisible force. But when i faced the direction of were the lace clothing is, it was already gone. I was scared but of course my first reaction was the thought of my eyes playing tricks on me, which is pretty normal for somebody who saw something unnatural. But when i returned to my grandma's room, i know what i saw and i believed that it's something that is phenomenal. Up to the present time, i never slept alone. I always have somebody with me especially going downstairs at the middle of the night for a drink of water. I never wanted to believe such things since i haven't seen an actual ghost but through the encounters of hearing strange noises in the middle of the night, or detecting a scent of burning candle in a room gives me the feeling that these supernatural being are moving anywhere. But of course if i have enountered these kind of things i always pray to God for guidance and it really helps me overcome the fear that is within me. Just have faith, and these things can't hurt or bother me.
