my sister's keeper :)

every word in that movie/book is priceless :) i will read the book if i have time to spare or if i want to cry. HAHA  *i couldn't read the book. i just know it, my heart won't be able to take all the pain. No one starts a war – or rather, no one in his sense ought to do so – without first being clear in his mind what he intends to achieve by that war and how he intends to conduct it. - Carl Von Clausewitz, Vom Kriege My mother moves so fast I do not even see it coming. But she slaps my face hard enough to make my head snap backward. She leaves a print that stains me long after it’s faded. Just so you know: shame is five-fingered. Anna is the only proof I have that I was born into this family. Instead of dropped off on the doorstep by some Bonnie and Clyde couple that ran off into the night. On the surface, we’re polar opposites. Under the skin, though, we’re the same: people think they know what they’re getting, and they’re always wrong. Two thousand years ago the night sk

my sister's keeper

so today, i got to watch a movie titled "My sister's Keeper" on HBO. i watched half of the movie but i guess i knew how the story went. i'm not gonna tell how it went but i am actually gonna think of how will it be if it was me. there's two options. as always. i could be the sick sister or the sister's keeper. or the elder brother. so there's three option. if i was the sick sister. i could have not made the same decision as hers. i could have still kept fighting. there is nothing in this world that can keep me from being healed. it may have been painful for me to watch my sister but i have to live. i just have to. do everything i can in order to survive. it's funny because whenever i imagine myself being kidnapped or robbed my lines would be. "ok kill me now" hahaha i don't know but i think it would be better to just die than to live and remember that dreadful experience :)) if i was the sister's keeper. i would have done the sa

day 28

Today i say i am a proud Thomasian! i take this back right after the classes are resumed :) HAHAHA just kidding! from the last post i was at Exodus Chapter 3 finishing the part of Moses and the Burning Bush. and today I am done with the Ten Commandments part so that means I have been through: Moses' return to Egypt The Plagues that was sent to Egypt The Passover and the GREAT Exodus Crossing of the Red Sea The Provisions that is being sent to Israelites while they were in the desert The giving of The Ten Commandments As for the New testament. I am now in Matthew Chapter 18. Just finished with the Parable of the Unmerciful Servant that taught me to really Forgive my neighbors as the Lord had forgiven me :) In connection with UST's 400th year, and how UST is the oldest University in Asia.

right through me.

You let me win   You let me ride   You let me rock   You let me slide   And when they looking   You let me hide   Defend my honor   Protect my pride   The good advice   I always hated   But looking back   It made me greater   You always told me   Forget the haters   Just get my money   Just get my weight up   Know when I'm lying   Know when I'm crying   It's like you got it   Down to a science   Why am I trying   No you ain't buying   I tried to fight it   Back with defiance   You make me laugh   You make me hoarse   From yelling at you   And getting at you   Picking up dishes   Throwing them at you   Why are you speaking   When no one asked you   What are we doing   Could you see through me   And you say Nicki   And I say who me   And you say no you   And I say screw you   Then you start dressing,   And you start leaving   And I start crying   And I start screaming   The heavy breathing,   But what's the reason   Always

This is the story of a girl,   Who cried a river and drowned the whole world!   And while she looked so sad in photographs,   I absolutely love her,   When she smiles...  

Promise ring!

So today I write about my promise ring :) I’ve had it for a while now. I made my promise ring official last January 8 :)   The promise ring was initially like the purity ring and knowing me, of course, the idea first came from the JONAS BROTHERS. I didn't really need a purity ring since I was EVER SINCE decided to give my first to my HUSBAND :) -the greatest gift I could ever give they say!- BUT since I am a BIG FAN of the Jonas brothers I decided to get myself one. Plus it could help raise awareness, spread the cause. So there. It isn't a secret to everybody that I am really determined to finish the bible this year. At first I was reading it for information. I thought that I am a Christian ever since and it's just plain embarrassing to not know a lot of bible characters. But then there comes this wonderful quote saying. "Many books inform but only one book TRANSFORMS : THE BIBLE" :) PLUS another triggering factor is that i always remember what Pastor Peter T

almost perfect here :)

There's a reason for the situation It's amazing, the shocking revelation Love is crazy , it's got me upside down It's got me upside down Well life hits you and love gets you You just gotta go with the flow Everything is almost perfect here The reason is coming crystal clear I think I really dig this atmosphere It's almost perfect here If you give in, don't let it freak you out 'Cause you're the one thing I've got this thing about It's this emotion it's got me inside out It's got me inside out Well life hits you and love gets you You just gotta go with the flow Everything is almost perfect here The reason is coming crystal clear I think I really dig this atmosphere It's almost perfect here It's almost perfect here If life is perfect, IT WOULDN'T BE :)

already jan 25 and i have only 11 posts. what happened? i remember back in december i was actually limiting myself to post snce it is just too much but now. MY THOUGHTS ARE ALL GONE! i know pharmacology and histology took it away from me. I used to be thinking thoughts that actually makes sense to me  but now. everything is just bla bla bla. in my response to my condition. i'll start to read. Sarah Dressen's "A Truth about Forever" :) STARTING NOW.! GOOOOOOOOO

ahhh. YES! :)

so i haven't posted anything in a while. So here's a post! END. HAHAHA no not really. what a lame joke. anyway. If you have read the before-this-post post, i have said there that i am having a lot of rewards  lately and that is what this is about :) My realizations, blessings and everything else that has been happening to me recently. I'll start with my blessings! :) I actually have a lot recently, but here's the biggest this week. So I missed one exam. YUP. i did. A major one too. I thought the wrong schedule. But the funny thing is, I missed it with a very close friend of mine. She also thought of the wrong schedule! At first, I thought, since she copied my schedule, I totally wrote the wrong one but as it turns out we have the right copy of schedules. UP TO NOW, we still don't know why we end up thinking of a wrong time. together at the same day. it's weird. but anyway. As normal students, we are terrified of the consequences of us missing the exam.

day 21

hey ya'll! :) sorry i haven't posted anything in a while. just finished exams week! :) ---i say this as if there's really people anticipating anything :P--- So it's finally day 21 and i am so proud to report that i have finished! the book of genesis :P today i officially started the book of exodus reading its first 3 chapters. i must say. my life has been a lie! -sorry the rain got me all dramatic- but seriously! i feel like i have been deceived ruthlessly or something. as i read the first 3 chapters of exodus, i found out that.... the movie "Ten Commandments" is NOT TRUE at ALL ! i thought it was a direct translation of how it happened in the bible but it is NOT ! the movie would have been not that long if it were to follow the bible faithfully . ANYWAY. after the  last post , i have been through the: the life of Jacob the life of Joseph the dreamer The death of Jacob and Joseph and eventually everyone else. The Israelites being oppressed in Egypt T

LOVE

just a thought: we should X the phrase "i love you MORE THAN YOU KNOW" why do we keep on saying that? i love you more than you know!? if they don't know that we love them more than they know then we should let them know! more than so that it's their fault they can't realize how much we love them it's our fault! love is more than being able to give, there's so much more to love than material things. love should be expressed through words and actions. Let us all remind each other how much we love them. in that way we'll be able to say confidently "i love you, i know you know how much :)"

day 12 on 100th post!

LAST POST ON bible in one year! ---->  http://someoneyouwillneverbe.blogspot.com/2011/01/day-7.html hello! i can't believe you're reading this! :) but i am glad you are! i hope i won't bore you too much. i promise to make this as entertaining and as sensible as much as possible. BTW. this is my 100th post! :) I am now in the life of Jacob, so after day 7 post i have been through the: The birth of Isaac from his mother Sarah  Hagar and Ishmael being sent away --- i don't know but i feel it's just SO historic Abraham tested ---- if you don't know the story read it on Genesis 22 :) The Death of Sarah Isaac and Rebekah  Death of Abraham the story of Jacob and Esau, sons of Isaac Jacob and his family with Leah and Rachel as his wives and his children with their maidservant's -- -_-" :P I am now in the part where Jacob wants to flee from Laban, father of Leah and Rachel :) As for the New testament, I am now in Matthew 9, which means that

the beauty of life.

"You can CHOOSE to believe" Once, when i was at a very difficult time in my life, when words are up against each other, when you won't really know what's true and what's not, there it came... "you can choose to believe or not" isn't that too beautiful? that you can CHOOSE what to believe in? when everything else is pointing at the opposite direction of what one is saying, isn't it beautiful that you can still  CHOOSE to believe that what he is saying is true? when everything is laid in front of you, when there will be nothing else but what's in front of you, you could either take those or leave it, when everything leads down to YOU making the CHOICE. that despite all the evidences proving guilty of a crime but the suspects statements are against every evidence, isn't it beautiful that you CAN CHOOSE to believe that the suspect's words are true. isn't it too beautiful? that somehow everything in this world narrows dow

in the right place.

Just a thought: REALLY store up riches in heaven. Some of us are afraid to store up our riches in heaven just because we won't have any riches left here in earth. But I tell you this. Don't be afraid to store up riches in heaven. DO IT! just like how Jesus have said it in Matthew 6:20 "But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not break in and steal" AND MAYBE JUST MAYBE that the riches that we store in heaven will overflow HERE ON EARTH! :)

on this day...

On this day of your life,  Mariel Lynne , we believe God wants you to know ... that your pains are God's way to rouse you from slumber. Pain is your wake-up call to awaken, to look deeper into yourself, to adjust the course of your life. God tries to be as gentle as possible, and only if you ignore the call does the pain get stronger. 

day 7!

just doing everything in the plan! :) you may not have read that and may not read this but you are right now but trust me i never expected you will... ;) i placed in my plans for 2011 for me to finish th bible this year :) IT IS POSSIBLE!  anyway... since today is january 7, -8 technically- i just want to share the grace of my dear God for helping me not miss a day of reading His word :) Hopefully i'll be able to keep this up until i finish the whole bible.  I am actually following the guide in "Our Daily Bread" since i don't know exactly up to where or what am i to read to be able to finish the whole bible in one year... and so far it has taken me a long way from day 1 :) I am now in the life of Abraham. So i have been through the: creation of everything ---- he made everything GOOD :) Adam and Eve Cain and Abel Noah and the Flood The Tower of Babel Actually i have just finished reading the part with Lot and his daughters. sorry but i think the thought of t

YOURS!

just a thought: you don't have to copy how they do things just because it is effective to them. make it yours! when working some things out. i don't think there is this formula that everyone should follow in order to get the answer right. just like how math has many solutions to a problem so does everything in life. it doesn't have to be solved exactly the same way as others did. just as long as you're getting to the right answer any solution is fine :> SO don't bother on how people did things or lived their lives. you are living YOURS. make it YOUR OWN! never be afraid to make erasures on your solution to get the right answer :) ---though a GREAT GUIDE wouldn't hurt ;)

family! :)

2011 is officially the year of reunions :) for me. being away and having a complicated life. i must admit i didn't have much bond with relatives. i don't know there are several factors. 1. age groups. MY age group in th family specially in mom's side is not that popular. when they were teenagers i was considered a kid. so i never really got close with cousins. 2. complications. we're just a normal typical BIG FILIPINO FAMILY. if there were no complications we would be so abnormal now wouldn't we? 3. being away. now this applies to dad's side. most of my relatives in my father's side lives far away. so we didn't really had the chance to get close :) BUT THIS YEAR. and it is just january 6, it is safe to say that i have gained cousins and an uncle! :) -not that they are new to the family but we have just managed to X-out the factors mentioned above! I am so happy i'm just going to spill it out here! :) last reunion, i mostly spent my time wi

2011!

FIRST blog! of the year! :) what took me so long to post a new entry? there is nothing to post about.  I had a lot of works lately that it became impossible to post. and there is nothing really to post about.  To start off my first post this 2011. a narration. yes a story. a boring story that no one would probably read but i'll still write :P JANUARY 1! and since i spent the holidays here in the philippines... here is the only positive thing that happened. really. *christmas and new year without my family is really bad. no matter how much people celebrate here i'd still prefer to celebrate my christmas and new year with them ANYWHERE.* REUNION!!!! :) mom's side :> i am so looking forward to it ever since! and since i missed 4 reunions in a row. you can imagine how much my heart is really happy :) so there. reunion was held @ tito norman's place at cabanatuan! had a lot of fun. honestly, i can't remember everything that happened now  i can't put into
