Realities of a Teenage Drama Princess :)

Just a thought: That FAMILY means SO MUCH MORE than JUST having the same LAST NAME. as Lilo always says it, "Ohana means family. Family means no body gets left behind. or forgotten" even a little kid knows so much. Being a family goes beyond blood ties. It's a relationship. You can find family in anyone. THE POINT IS. JUST having the same last name as your relatives is SO NOT the requirement to call them FAMILY.

love the lyrics. not so much the song itself? and for anybody out there who doesn't know anything else but to continually put me down. JUST WATCH ME :P Don't tell me that I'm out of line.. or That I'm shooting way too high Don't know any other way for me to play it I gotta give it everything.. so Call it just a crazy dream But I can feel it getting closer every day and I'm not afraid of working hard and there'll never be a guarantee But I believe that I can be anything I really want to be [Chorus:] Just watch me, I'll do it Not matter what they say, I'll prove it Just watch me, I'm flying And no one's ever gonna clip my wings I'll beat the odds if I know me, and if you disagree Just watch me, just watch me, can't stop me People say you'll crash and burn.. well That's the way I've got to learn But I know it's only gonna make me stronger Doesn't matter what it takes.. cause I'm not gonna run or break Eve

THANK GOD really for this "word 4U Today" it just sets my spirit at peace :)  in accordance with my plan for 2011 and the situations i am faced in... here is what God is telling me :) it's actually a two day worth of reading but i'll just put everything in here :)   the following is entirely-copy paste.  Be Led by God, not others (1) Romans 8:14 " For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God." Life is like a maze; it's easy to get lost. Pressure comes at us from every direction to keep others happy. We study the important people in our lives, trying to decide what they want from us and how to give it to them, and in the process we lose ourselves. You need to stop and ask, " Who am I living for? Why am I doing things I do? " Paul writes:    6 We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your   faith; (Romans 12:6)   What has God ca

if i can be this beautiful.... then why did he left me? then why am i dateless last Valentine's? then why am i still single?  these are the questions that hunt me... and just FYI i was not trying to be seductive. i was trying to look broken. :) OOPS MY BLOG MY RULES MY LIFE. :P 

so just last week i went into this event, and the speaker had his talk about a movie. "stranger than fiction" i finally decided to watch and yesterday I did. the movie left me crying before it's ending. actually i can't tell if i was just having a bad day or the movie really got me. but here i am writing about it. the movie is really great. the movie got me thinking. what if my life is being written by someone. ow wait my life really is being written by someone. thank GOD :) actually this post is supposed to be written yesterday. when every bit of inspiration from the movie is still with me. so i'll just end up with putting here the most memorable quotes in the movie. :) it's a book about a man who doesn' know he's about to die... then dies. but if the man does know he's going to die, and dies anyway... dies willingly, knowing he could stop it... you tell me... Isn't that the type of man you want to keep alive? This may sound like gibb

hi! imitating natalie tran's intro :P so i'm now down to day 51 of my bible readings which started last january 1 :) and to today i am still thankful to the grace of our dear Lord for not letting me miss a day without reading his words :) go here for the  last post as of today. i have officially read FOUR BOOKS in the bible. Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus and Matthew :) I'd never thought i would actually finish all 4 books in just short period of time. actually i am limiting myself to just reading what is for today so that i will read the bible everyday and not result to reading everything for the week in a one day sitting and not read the following days. Remember in the Lord's prayer? "Give us THIS DAY our DAILY BREAD" Jesus taught us to pray like that and not "give us food for the rest of the week and next week when the food is all gone i will pray again and ask you again" NOPE. he wants us to pray everyday. every time. he wants us to tell it al

Uhoo oh yeah,   La da a da Don't get me wrong,   I love who I am I don't wanna be ungrateful It probably sounds strange I really love the role I play The songs I sing But with all the fame The things that seem so simple,   Suddenly, so far out of reach Wish that they could see that underneath...   I'm just an ordinary girl!   Sometimes I'm lazy I get bored I get scared I feel ignored I feel happy, I get silly I choke on my own words I make wishes, I have Dreams And I still want to believe Anything can happen in this world,   For an ordinary girl (Like you, Like me) For an ordinary girl (Like you, Like me) How are you? Hello, Good-bye One day here, One day there And again it's time to go Miss popular always on the road But my best foot forward Gotta get on with the show Strike a pose for the front cover of a magazine Every where I arrive, I get high-5's They pay me larger than life (Yeaheaaaa) I'm just an ordinary girl!   So give it everything or nothin'

On this day of your life,  Mariel Lynne , we believe God wants you to know ... that worshipping God is good for you. In a world where there are many things competing for your devotion and worship, God is the only one that delivers and doesn't disappoint. Putting anything above God will ultimately let you down and leave you feeling empty. So sing praises, lift your hands in the air and give glory to God. It's good for you!  i swear moments ago before i read this, i was thinking of why making God your number one priority. i thought of selfish answers like because the benefits are great! but then I LOVE GOD. that's why I am going to obey him and he commanded to make Him number 1 in our lives! :)

I spent another sunday in CCF and Pastor Peter Tan-Chi gave me so much again :) His talk was all about LOVE. It's fitting since tomorrow, is Valentine's day. The most awkward holiday ever. But come to think of it, that's how powerful love is. It gets to have its own day to celebrate. There's no such thing as a day dedicated to Hope, Peace or anything else. There might be but it is not as widely popular as Valentine's. Since I am a teenage drama princess, I LOVE LOVE. i mean i live for love. LOVE IS MY LIFE. TO LOVE AND BE LOVED is what i am here for.   Everybody wants to be loved. And do you know where you can get the greatest love? THE BIBLE in JESUS. there will be no greater love than him dying in the cross for OUR sake. :) So friends, i fyou want to experience the love that i am experiencing right now. READ THE BIBLE :) Believe in God's words. Be intimate with the Lord. I GUARANTEE YOU 100% that you will experience the greatest love there is. :)

Hello there *baby james version* It's my 43rd day, technically 44th but oh well, of reading the bible. :) And Thank God i still haven't missed a day. I am still excited to read his words everyday. i can't wait to read the lives of the great man and woman of God :) So as of the  last post , where i have finished reading the book of Exodus, today i am now in the book of Leviticus. i just read Chapter 13 for this day. As all or some of you may know, the book of Leviticus contains the set of Laws that were given to the Israelites. I knew right before that there is really a downtime in the bible like this book of leviticus which is full of laws and the book of numbers which will be full of, of course, numbers. But surprisingly I am surviving it! Their laws are actually logical. like how would they separate the one with infectious diseases etc. Their laws were not merely "just because God wanted to" but some do have scientific basis on them. Though i must admit, the

heartfelt is L.O.V.E. it's my 2nd time attending ccf and everything there is still just as amazing as the first time i went. though this event wasn't the normal worship service, it still made me :) BIG TIME. what's so amazing is that they give so many TAKE HOME. not the take-home you take home after parties like food etc but instead something that will not rot even if stored for a hundred more years. i wish i had recorded every testimony that the speakers gave. everything is just so amazing. so now, i'll try to write my insights about their testimonies. i'll try to remember the best points as much as i can. i don't have a very good writing atmosphere right now actually and words are not just flowing. FIRST - from a bachelor, Michael Welsch - he had his testimony based on the movie "stranger than fiction" i haven't watched it yet but i know i SHOULD. but what i took home from him is that, it all comes to the end. you won't really know if

On this day of your life,  Mariel Lynne , we believe God wants you to know ... that even the desert has beauty. Good times and bad times are part of living. It is difficult to fully appreciate joy until you have tasted sadness. Laughter is sweeter if you have experienced tears. There may be times when you feel like you're stuck in a dry and desolate place, but an encouraging call or a hug from a friend can be an oasis; beauty in the desert. Though it may not be easy, try to remember that the trials are going to help you fully experience the joy on the horizon. 

on my devotional today from Our Daily Bread. James 4:13-17 "Now listen, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on our business and make money." Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Instead, you ought to say, "If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that," As it is, you boast and brag. All such boasting is evil. Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it, sins."

not the theology today-today as in the whole world NOT THAT OK? this post would be about what i learned and realized during our theology class today. the perfect class to reflect huh? :) anyway the topic was about... sex and using contraceptives. you know how the catholic church would not agree on the proposed reproductive health bill that is now being pushed through here in the Philippines. i for myself agrees to the use of condoms and such contraceptives just so that it does not cause abortion. why? well because i can't see any difference between ARTIFICIAL family planning and NATURAL family planning. they are still FAMILY PLANNING. before you raise your eyebrows here me out first :P i may have a point here. a point they all have been missing all this time. The reason why they don't like the ARTIFICIAL family planning is because it prevents the meeting of the egg and the sperm it's like MAN is being responsible for procreating. i mean like, they have too much ch

I am STILL right here. exactly where you left me. wait. nope. i subliminally had come back from exactly where i thought you'll still be.

taken from "The Word 4U Today" you can go check 'em out  here James 1:4 "Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything" Nobody likes to struggle. But overcoming obstacles is what develops in us the qualities needed to fulfill God's will for our lives. The truth is, growth can't happen any other way. In 2 Corinthians, chapter 1, Paul spells out the benefits of going through hard times. Yes, struggling actually allows us a few benefits: FIRST 2 Corinthians 1:4 " ... so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort that we ourselves have received from God" When people know you've been through what they're going through, they listen. Otherwise, they politely turn into zombies and turn you out. Built in every problem, that forces you to grow, are the answers those around you need. When you can say, "I have been there," your friends respect you and pay attention.

click here for the last post :) before the actual update on what had happened in the bible, i want to thank the LORD for a wonderful January and for not letting me miss a day on my bible reading :) He made a way :) so here after a month i have been through a lot! wow! it's only february and i can see God s faithfulness and awesomeness :) from the last post I was done reading the giving of The Ten Commandments and after 9 days of reading i am now DONE with the book of EXODUS :) time flies so much when you are having fun. though i must admit that the latter part of exodus is a bit boring. Anyway after the giving of the ten commandments is the requirements of the Lord to be done by the Israelites. and wonderfully enough at the end of Exodus, after all what they have done it says "as the Lord has commanded them" meaning they have done everything according to the commands of God :) From the last post I was already in Matthew Chapter 18 and today I am now done with Chapt

i haven't watched the whole movie yet and this is how it affects me. ugh that movie got me so bad. i don't know why but somehow it just gets the best of me. i can think about it all day. i am forever puzzled on my what ifs and what could have been. i always thought that the movie was all about kate. that the reason it was there was because of kate. i hate kate. i  hate how the mom loves her so much that she is able to make an engineered baby just to save her. i hate how the mom could throw away everything to keep her alive. but then it got me. WHAT IF it isn't about kate at all? WHAT IF everything is written down so that ANNA could be? looking at it at a different angle, maybe the reason kate got sick is to let anna be alive. that the reason kate can't survive is because anna needs to be. that maybe kate is not that bad at all. that maybe anna is just as important as kate. it really is wonderful how things can change if you look it at a different view. as an a
