What is the most Astounding fact you can share with us about the Universe?

"The most astounding fact that is the knowledge that the atoms that comprise life on Earth the atoms that make up the human body are traceable to the crucibles that cooked light elements into heavy elements in their core under extreme temperatures and pressures. These stars, the high mass ones among them went unstable in their layer years they collapsed and then exploded scattering their enriched guts across the galaxy guts made of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and all the fundamental ingredients of life itself. These ingredients become part of gas clouds that condense, collapse, form the next generation of solar systems stars with orbiting planets, and those planets now have the ingredients for life itself. 

So that when I look up at the night sky and I know that yes, we are part of this universe we are in this universe, but perhaps more important than both of those facts is that the Universe is in us. When I reflect on that fact, I look up - many people feel small because they're small and the Universe is big - but I feel big because my atoms came from the stars. There's a level of connectivity. 

That's really what you want in life, you want to feel connected, you want to feel related, you want to feel like a participant in the going on of activities and events around you. 

 That's precisely what we are, just by being alive." 

From this inspirational video, I had this hint in life of what I really wanted to do.

I want more of life.

I want to realize how beautiful even if it means living for a moment. 

Sometimes, days like this, makes me sober. I don't know. I feel weak. The weather, the rainy atmosphere makes me feel like doing nothing but lay down in a green field an look in an open sky. It's been a habit of mine that whenever silence or darkness captures me, I look at the sky. Yes, I wanted to just reach out for the stars in the silent night sky. I'm like a child looking for a sweet affirmation. I never grew in a lollipop-candy world; i would rather say, i grew up like a coarse sea.

But ever since I realized life is never good whenever I pretend to be tough, I looked at the sky and wonder: the horizon is gentle. I am strong because I know how to pretend. I am strong because I choose to be passive in things either in things I am interested in or not. Beats me, my friend, for God wants me to be gentle.

I am gentle - inside. I can't just set it free. I have been ensnared by impatience for a long time that's why it's just too hard for me to understand that I am gentle. But this video made me sober. It's like, God is telling me, there's no need to be strong if you really can't be. Being gentle is another way of getting strong, you know.

To know how God precious made us, I am in awe. I am seriously in awe in our Maker. His Majesty has really nothing to compare.

The Sky.

The Horizon.

The Stars.

The Shooting Stars.

The Falling Stars.

The Clouds.

The Moon.

The Rain.

The Planets.

The Heavenly Bodies.

To know that these majestic things are in me. To know that these mysterious beauties comprise me. To know that the Great Mind behind these creation is definitely a sophisticated. What more can I say?

This is how He loved me. He created me out of the beautiful things I see. What a wonderful thing to know. What a beautiful thing to discover.

All Praises and Glory to His Name. 

Thank you, Father. 

Thank you, Jesus.

Thank you, Holy Spirit.

these are a few of my favorite things by nataliejeanette featuring a zipper dress

found this post around around blogger world - from the official blog of Polyvore. forgive me but my femininity just overflowed. :"]

iloveyou :]

For quite sometime, I've become alarmed with the happenings around the people around me.

JUSTIFICATIONS. REASONS. Maybe these are the things that are running in their minds or that these are the things that are taped in their mouths. I don't really know how they run their lives now.

You and me against all odds. I wonder if these words were already scribbled out from them.

7 WONDERS:

>I wonder if they remembered to wait for the right person until the right time.

>I wonder what's going in their minds of why they forgot what they have committed long before.

>I wonder why there's toleration. 

>I wonder why rebuking with love is nowhere to be found.

>I wonder why they seem to be blinded of what they are doing, maybe they really need some serious help.

>I wonder why the teachings have become forgotten, have been set aside.

>I wonder if what might have happened.

I stand to be corrected, but here's my say:

These are the times when we can't just go with the flow - the times when the choices are whether to conform or not to the world. When life requires decisions that are hard to make you can never tell where you are walking unless someone pokes you and you start looking around you. Well, this is not a condemnation but a reminder, a loving rebuke from a sibling. I know my stand, I don't condemn because I don't know what is really happening (and I guess it's not that easy, yeah). Others might say I'm being perfectionist and all or "it's easy to say because your not in our position" or "look who's saying", but it's not like I am jealous here or what. Yes, I have just become curious. So what I want you to know, to understand is, my part saying: Are we forgetting something? Well, I take some guilt here because, I've become passive with the issue. I admit I took it for granted until it became a great alarm. It maybe hard to understand. You may say what you want to say. You might get hurt and so, I apologize. But let us be a strong church that can not be wavered by unstable emotions. Let us guard ourselves as we try to make it grow in Christ. Let us help ourselves stand up and build a stronger church with others without concern for ourselves. I know its easy to say but hard to do, but let us bear in mind that we are holding REVIVAL for our church, isn't it? This might sound bossy, but this is definitely not a duty. I may really sound structured but I tell you, I just want to protect the church.

Of course it's not easy, but let's face reality, we are not just the ones that are experiencing hardships, there's just a lot of people out there who experiences more than what we are going through - because it has already become a foothold to them. We are blessed, I believe, because we've become stronger because of the things we learned to let go. So this time, please understand that I have become a watcher, a rebuke-r. But who knows what life will bring after a short time, I am open to whoever it maybe the one to tell me a loving rebuke that will definitely bring pain and joy in a life that is growing in Christ. Who knows, it might be you. :]

We should be reminded that as Christians, there are certain people that looks at us; people who think of us as to be role models. So in order to properly settle things, let us show them that what they see in us is Jesus, what they really wanted to see more is Jesus shining more in their lives. Let us not be conceited and isolated. Let us stand on the freedom that He had given us for such a long time ago. Let us initiate to light up the world as a strong Christian generation.

Love blog again~

The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. Matthew 26:41

This is the verse that came up into my mind after some news about a special someone. God gave me verses like:

Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage. Galatians 5:1

Well I did not expect that this verse is going to be like a my greatest hope amidst the sadness, so much sadness within me. 

You see, remember this special guy that I told you before? Yes, the one that made my life temporarily complete (as I thought)? He just returned from overseas. I think that was last week when my sister sent me a message with all bunch of capital letters telling me that she saw that guy. Reading the text message my chest tighten and beat loud, maybe it was self-inflicted, don't you think? Hahaha.

At first I couldn't believe it like WHUUUT? YOU SURE FELLA?! DON'T YOU TRY MESSING UP WITH ME. IT'S NOT A GOOD JOKE. But you know, deep inside my heart, I know that it's really possible. Even practicality could also point that, right? Then I started to be empty again. There were lots of whispers going into my ear and I could not just react to it. I don't want to do stupid things. Truth be told but it's not like he wanted to see me. I couldn't even share it at least with my family because you've really got no idea how much they made me feel that that guy isn't suitable for me. 

For sometime, I have become bothered. I have told some friends about his coming like he was the one who told me. Oh, I just realized, it's kind'a creepy right? Telling this news like we're some good friends - spreading it like that, owww. Okay, I won't do it again. O_O So, that's it, I told some of my friends about his coming and I just don't know why. Attention-seeker, right? Yeah, that's why I couldn't just classify myself as someone that mature because of some attitude problems. There's still this part of me that I wanted to make other people worry about me or know their reactions given a scenario of my life.

BANG. I'm never satisfied. This makes me sad all the time. My dissatisfaction for others. You know, one time, my sister's boyfriend and I messaged each other when I was together with some buddies. The very thing that struck me like WHAT'S THIS AGAIN? was the statement YOU WERE HURT THAT MUCH RIGHT THAT YOU'RE AFRAID TO DATE OTHER GUYS AGAIN.  It made me giggle and I drowned in a deep thought. After that, I was bombed by lots of questions from my buddies asking me about my love life. I am really satisfied that I do not have one, I have this one goal that I still don't achieve. So as much as possible my manifesto is to really not have a relationship until I'm ready enough to be on that battle field.

I NEED TO BE CLOSER TO GOD. I still need to change lot's of attitude. Perfection? Well yes. That perfection that God can only tell. I want to be prepared for the very person He'll be setting for me, I want to be the best for him. He'll give the best, like THE BEST than that person. I'm not in a hurry. I've still got a lot of things to work for Him. He's my BIG DADDY after all. Our SUPER BIG Dad that LOVES US LIKE NO OTHER.

I'm letting go of Him now. That's why I am in a great struggle of JOY and SUFFERING. Joy because I'll be caressed by my God with His big caroused loving hands. And suffering for the thought, that person isn't really for me. He's not for me. We're not meant to be. I could only wish if only he is ... He was allowed to be an intruder in my life to open more my eyes about God. I might found no happy ending from that person but for sure, forever awaits for me.

Now, I really want to be despicable, a poker and a real bad girl. But I don't need it. It won't help me in the future. I won't benefit me. It won't make my God smile. So here I am, geting gentler and gentler as God breaks my heart, my lonely stone heart. He wants me to be free. That instead of being a stone, He wants my heart to soar like an eagle in freedom; to be really gentle, meek, despite the harm.

You ran well. But who hindered you form obeying the truth? Galatians 5:7

Yes, liberty. He wants me to obey and bear the fruit of the Spirit as sweet as it should be and be able to share it to others. I want to look forward and be steady in my faith. And when the time comes that God will release His little lamb to be taken care with another master, I shall then submit.

Getting things done.

i'll be doing some laundry and right after, i'll be sharing something to you. hahaha. i know, i know. i said something the same the time i went back from the camp right? haha. i guess i'm left with no choice to spill some of the happenings last summer camp.

jaa ne. :>

188

just read the 188th chapter of Skip Beat. nyahahaha! ren and sho were unexpectedly cool that way! waaai, excited for the next chaptersss. :">

Love High

oh why can't i get over with this song. suzy's voice just suits the song. the way she sang it melts my heart :"> it was the scene when she sang it sincerely for teacyoon that makes me feel aaaw <3


this is from the korean series Dream High. i love their ost; lots of their songs really makes my heart skip a beat. the story was nice though it ended not that fine, well that's for my opinion.

the characters were good. they were all good singers, dancers and actors! i like how the story twisted and how it revolves with friendship.

this film undeniably shows how youth today can be so talented and tough for life; how youth nowadays unite despite their differences and be of gentleness for each other.

So, for all the youths out there, this speaks for you to

DREAM HIGH.
