I Can Only Imagine

One of my favorite songs this brought me to tears number of times. I always listen this especially when I'm down and depressed, this song gives comfort and feeling that you don't know. The best line in this songs for me is " I can only imagine what it be like when I walk by your side". Just imagine that you are walking with Jesus and talking to him. And thinking what will you say to Him and what He will tell you. The song is a drug for me keep me in pace and in track. Hope this will be a drug also for you and give you comfort.

The Correct Way Of Eating Fruits

Is there such thing as correct eating of fruits? Yes, there is! I was awed after reading this email I received from my friend. What we always think eating fruits means just buying fruits, cutting it,and just popping it into our mouths. It's not so easy as what we think. It's important to know how, and when to eat. What is the correct way of eating fruits?

* IT MEANS NOT EATING FRUITS AFTER YOUR MEALS!

*FRUITS SHOULD BE EATEN ON AN EMPTY STOMACH

If you eat fruits like that, it will play a major role to detoxify your system, supplying you with a great deal of energy for weight loss, and other life activities.

FRUIT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FOOD.

Let's say you eat two slices of bread and then a slice of fruit. The slice of fruit is ready to go straight through the stomach into the intestines, but it is prevented from doing so.

In the meantime the whole meal rots, and ferments, and turns to acid. The minute the fruit comes into contact with the food in the stomach, and digestive juices, the entire mass of food begins to spoil.

So please eat your fruits on an empty stomach or before your meals! You have heard people complaining - every time I eat water-melon I burp, when I eat durian my stomach bloats up, when I eat bananas, I feel like running to the toilet etc - actually all this will not arise if you eat the fruit on an empty stomach. The fruit mixes with the putrefying other food, and produces gas, and hence you will bloat!

Graying hair, balding, nervous outburst, and dark circles under the eyes all these will not happen if you take fruits on an empty stomach.

There is no such thing as some fruits like orange, and lemon are acidic, because all fruits become alkaline in our body, according to Dr. Herbert Shelton who did a research on this
matter.

If you have mastered the correct way of eating fruits, you have the Secret of beauty, longevity, health, energy, happiness, and normal weight.

When you need to drink fruit juice - drink only fresh fruit juice, NOT From the cans. Don't even drink juice that has been heated up. Don't eat Cooked fruits, because you don't get the nutrients at all. You only get to taste.

Cooking destroys all the vitamins.

But eating a whole fruit is better than drinking the juice. If you should drink the juice, drink it mouthful by mouthful slowly, because you must Let it mix with your saliva before swallowing it.

You can go on a 3-day fruit fast to cleanse your body.

Just eat fruits, and drink fruit juice throughout the 3 days and you will be surprised when your friends tell you how radiant you look!

Drinking Cold water after meal = Cancer!
Can you believe this?

For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion.

Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down, and be Absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine.

Very soon, this will turn into fats, and lead to cancer.
It is best to Drink hot soup, HOT TEA or warm water after a meal.

Mother Teresa Quotes

"Keep the joy of loving God in your heart and share this joy with all you meet, especially your family. Be holy--let us pray."

"There is no greater sickness in the world today than the lack of love."

"We can do no great things; only small things with great love."

"God loves a cheerful giver. She or he gives best who gives with a smile."

"The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread."

"Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless."

"We need to find God, and God cannot be found in noise and restlessness.God is the friend of silence. See how nature--trees and flowers and grass--grow in silence. See the stars, the moon, and the sun, how they move in silence. The more we receive in silent prayer, the more we can give in our active life."

"God made the world rich enough to feed and clothe all human beings."

"Love does not measure; it just gives."

Miracles Happen Everyday

This song talks that miracle are not only those that we can see really drastic changes to somebody like seeing blind to see but miracles can just be a simple change of heart,seeing constant everyday and seeing somebody grow. Like a line in the lyrics "The sun comes up and shines so bright It disappears again at night It's just another ordinary miracle today" , that miracles can be seen everyday if we want to. What an awesome song!



Official Sound Track of Charlotte's Web Movie

Sarah Mclachlan - Ordinary Miracle

It's not that usual when everything is beautiful
It's just another ordinary miracle today

The sky knows when its time to snow
You don't need to teach a seed to grow
It's just another ordinary miracle today

Life is like a gift they say
Wrapped up for you everyday
Open up and find a way
To give some of your own

Isn't it remarkable?
Like every time a raindrop falls
It's just another ordinary miracle today

Birds in winter have their fling
And always make it home by spring
It's just another ordinary miracle today

When you wake up everyday
Please don't throw your dreams away
Hold them close to your heart
Cause we are all a part
Of the ordinary miracle

Ordinary miracle
Do you want to see a miracle?

It seems so exceptional
That things just work out after all
It's just another ordinary miracle today

The sun comes up and shines so bright
It disappears again at night
It's just another ordinary miracle today

Ooohh Oooohh

It's just another ordinary miracle today

Cebu's Best Beach Resort

Looking for resorts in Cebu?

Its one of the best time to go for beach since its not peak season. Usually prices will drop from 20-50% of the usual price, that's why most travelers will wait for this season. My friend is planning to go home for a short holiday together with his Malay friend and I told him his friend would want to have the best resorts but would not tear the pocket then go for any of these resorts. Like Sumilon Bluewater Island Resort:



Sumilon Bluewater Island Resort is located on tranquil Sumilon Island. The Island remains as one of Cebu's best kept secrets and is found on the southeastern tip of the mainland. It is 125 kilometers from Cebu City and is in close proximity to Dumaguete. The island has an area of 24 hectares and is surrounded by crystal clear waters with varying aquamarine hues. It is the first marine protected area in the Philippines and was made a fish sanctuary in 1974 under the guidance of Siliman University Marine Reserve. During dives, one will find varied marine species and even occasional sightings of black tip sharks. Pristine white sand beaches are situated in different areas in Sumilon.



How to get there?

There are daily flights between Manila and Cebu City. From Cebu City, guests can take a scenic drive through the southern coastal towns of mainland Cebu.

Fly Away

Corrine May- Fly Away

Just want to share you this great song from Corrine May, and to those who don't know Corrine is a Singaporean Singer who now based in California.

When will you be home? she asks, as we watch the planes take off
We both know we have no clear answer to where my dreams may lead
She's watched me as i crawled and stumbled
As a child, she was my world
And now to let me go, I know she bleeds, and yet she says to me

You can fly so high Keep your gaze upon the sky
I'll be praying every step along the way
Even though it breaks my heart to know we'll be so far apart
I love you too much to make you stay
Baby fly away

Autumn leaves fell into spring time and Silver-painted hair
Daddy called one evening saying "We need you. Please come back"
When I saw her laying in her bed Fragile as a child
Pale just like an angel taking flight
I held her as I cried

You can fly so high Keep your gaze upon the sky
I'll be praying every step along the way
Even though it breaks my heart to know we'll be so far apart
I love you too much to make you stay
Baby fly away

Subject: Shocking Info About Jesus(Please Circulate)

Hi To All I received this email from my friend about a film about Jesus and His disciples as homosexuals hope you read this post and put it in your blog also to make this movie totally banned:

The movie Corpus Christi is due to be released this June to Aug. I totally agree with the message below.

Lets stand for what we believe in and stop the mockery of Jesus Christ our Savior. If the Muslims do what they do, where do we stand as Christians? At the risk of a bit of inconvenience, I'm forwarding this to all I think would appreciate it too. Please help us prevent such offences against our Lord. It will take you 4 minutes! If you are not interested, and do not have the 4 Minutes it will take to do this, please don't complain when God does not have time for you, because He is far busier than we are.

A disgusting film set to appear in America later this year depicts Jesus and his disciples as homosexuals! As a play, this has already been in theatres for a while. It's called ' Corpus Christi ' which means 'The Christ Body.' It's a revolting mockery of our Lord. But we can make a difference. That's why I am sending this e-mail to you. Will you please add your name to the bottom of the list at the end of this e-mail? If you do, we will be able to prevent this film from showing in America and South Africa .

Hey, it's worth a shot! Apparently, some regions in Europe have already banned the film. All we need is a lot of signatures! Remember, Jesus said 'Deny Me on earth and I'll deny you before my Father'.

Hit forward, and when it comes up, delete any e-mail addresses, fill in whom you want to send it to, scroll down to the last name and add yours to the list. When it reaches 500 please send to
homasg@softhome. net

IF WE WORK TOGETHER WE CAN DO THIS.
Thank You!

Father And Son

This is part 2 of my previous post about a story of a father and son. I received this email from a friend again and I was so inspired about the story. The story was really a manifestation of so much faith that with all the impossibles and those beyond imaginations are possible with God. Just want to share this to you how blessed we are to have an awesome God. Here's the story and the video from www.GodTube.com

Here's the story:

A son asked his father, 'Dad, will you take part in a marathon with me?'. The father who, despite having a heart condition, says 'Yes'. They went on to complete the marathon together. Father and son went on to join other marathons, the father always saying 'Yes' to his son's request of going through the race together. One day, the son asked his father, 'Dad, let's join the Ironman together.' To which, his father said 'Yes' too.

For those who don't know, Ironman is the toughest triathlon ever.
The race encompasses three endurance events of a 2.4 mile (3.86 kilometer) ocean swim, followed by a 112 mile (180.2 kilometer) bike ride, and ending with a 26.2 mile (42.195 kilometer) marathon along the coast of the Big Island. Father and son went on to complete the race together.

Here's the video:

The World's Most Expensive University

This might be not new to some but for me its really something new for me and to some. And I kinda wondered also why those schools I think to be the most expensive is not even in the list, giving the reputation of the university and the alumni of these schools also can't be put in to one's pocket considering how big they are. Although this criteria may not be the major at stake but for some basis also it could be.

This may surprise you: The world’s most expensive universities are not those institutions in the Ivy League schools of America’s elite like Harvard or Princeton nor ancient universities like Cambridge or Oxford in the United Kingdom. I got this from Forbes' website http://www.forbes.com according to The Chronicle of Higher Education, the most expensive four-year university in the U.S. (and most likely the world) is Washington, D.C.’s George Washington University, with a price tag of $39,240 in 2007-2008.

George Washington University

Washington, D.C.,USA
Current annual tuition and fees: $39,240

It’s the most expensive four-year university in the United States--and most likely the world. Located just blocks from the White House and State Department according to Forbes website
it’s also about $3,300 more per year than cross-town rival Georgetown University, the next priciest school in Washington. Officials point out also that the school offers more need-based financial aid than any other university in the country. So maybe the school provide student loans, I was a loan specialist before for student loans this loan is called the Perkins loan usually with 5% interest rate the good thing because its fixed. Its more or like study now pay later scheme.

On top of this for me its not more about the school but with the student. Although school does matter but, what's the point of enrolling in an expensive school if its just for the sake of enrolling but not with the right intention no point at all just a waste. It should be the right intention plus great school that will create a creamiest cream of the top.

11 Things They Don’t Teach In High School According to Bill Gates

Bill Gates recently gave a speech at a High School about 11 things they did not and will not learn in school. He talks about how feel-good, politically correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world.

Rule 1: Life is not fair - get used to it!

Rule 2 : The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.

Rule 3 : You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.

Rule 4 : If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.

Rule 5 : Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called it opportunity.

Rule 6: If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.

Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.

Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.

Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time.

Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.

Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.

If you can read this - Thank a teacher

Constantly learning,

Nathan

10 Brain Damaging Habits

1. No Breakfast
People who do not take breakfast are going to have a lower blood sugar level. This leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing brain degeneration. They think that they are eating less by skipping breakfast, but in fact the opposite happens since they get so hungry at lunch they eat without any control. 80% of obese people skip breakfast. Think of that! Avoid white sugar, juices, croissant and white bread and get eggs, high fiber cereals or low fat cheese with one cup of coffee or tea.

2. Overeating
It causes hardening of the brain arteries, hypertension and small strokes leading to a decrease in mental power.

3. Smoking
It causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease.With 4000 different chemicals per cigarette it should not be surprising.

4. High Sugar consumption
Too much sugar will stimulate insulin secretion thereby causing reactive hypoglycemia (low blood sugar later)thus interfering with brain development.

5. Minimize Pollution
Minimize air pollution. The brain is the largest oxygen consumer in our body. Inhaling polluted air decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain, bringing about a decrease in brain efficiency. Keep you AC in your car on "air recirculation mode" to avoid inhaling other car's fume.Avoid pesticides brought into your home and food.

6. Sleep Deprivation
Sleep allows our brain to rest. Long term deprivation from sleep will accelerate the death of brain cells. You are more likely to get good sleep if you avoid heavy late evening meals, avoid cafeine after 2PM, exercise 30 minutes every day and go to bed at the same time every night.

7. Head covered while sleeping
Sleeping with the head covered, increases the concentration of carbon dioxide and decrease concentration of oxygen that may lead to brain damaging effects.

8. Drinking too much alcohol and taking too many drugs.
Avoid alcohol. Do not take Prozac and Valium unless absolutely necessary. Use antioxidants and rely instead on regular exercice to fight burn-out, stress and depression.

9. Lacking in stimulating thoughts
Thinking is the best way to train our brain, lacking in brain stimulation thoughts may cause brain shrinkage. Never retire as long as you are in good health.

10. Talking Rarely - Intellectual conversations
Intellectual conversations will promote the efficiency of the brain.

Walking Away

By Lesley Jeanne Y. Cordero

At 27, how can one simply say “No, thank you” and walk away from the lure of power, fame, and money… not once but, twice?

In February 2006, I started working as a legislative officer of a Senator of the Republic of the Philippines . I had my ticket to the fast lane where the political exposure was infinite and the opportunities were limitless. For a new lawyer who is fresh out of law school, I could not help but be overwhelmed by the immensity of the power entrusted to me. I had an inside scoop of the inner workings in the hallowed halls of the Philippine Senate; I saw how the lawmakers of our country called the shots and made crucial decisions during crunch time; and I witnessed the events that land on the news unfold before my very eyes. Sounds like “The Dream Job” that every young lawyer would envy. But just when I thought that I was riding high on the wave of success, reality knocked me hard on the head.

October 2006, I made a very difficult decision to leave a great job that I actually enjoyed doing. I was chosen to represent the Philippines in a Youth Exchange Program in China for two months. I was so excited and immediately applied for leave without pay. The boss disapproved my leave application and his people proposed some other free trips. The offers were so tempting, but I could still clearly recall saying “Sir, thank you but I think someone else is more deserving of those free trips than I am.” Right there and then I realized that there was nothing else left to do but to tender my resignation letter and simply walk away. At that time, I was so angry at my boss for not giving me enough credit for the work that I had done. And worst, he did not even have the decency to stop the people working for him from enticing me with their counter-offers.

When I resigned from my work, I was so scared. There was not a day that passed by when I did not doubt my decision. There were times in my sleep when I could still hear the whispers of people asking why I gave up a position that so many people were aspiring for? Well, maybe it was sheer pride or just plain disillusion with my ex-boss and politics. But after two months, I was finally convinced that I made the right decision. When I left for China , I took a leap of faith not knowing what was in store for me there. When I came back I discovered that the whole experience taught me how to soar and to soar higher. What made the letting go and moving on easier was the realization that it is difficult to work for someone if you no longer believe in him. Like everyone else, I want to work for a boss who can inspire me, a boss who does not only have the ambition but the conviction to make the tough decisions.

But my story does not end there. December 2006, I came back to the Philippines after the exchange program worried to death because I was officially jobless and without a game plan. But as they say, God writes a straight line in crooked broken strokes, so if you cannot understand his plan then you just have to trust his hand. Mid-January, I got interesting offers from four senatorial candidates to join their campaign teams. And interesting because I got an offer from my ex-boss’ camp too.

Late January 2007, I was on board the campaign team of one of the promising senatorial candidates in the 2007 Elections. How interesting can one’s career get at 27? Heading the Legal Team of a senatorial campaign, I felt that this was my second shot at power, connection and fame. I was given the license to sit at the big men’s table where power politics was at its finest. I was offered a front row seat on how national campaigns were mounted and senatorial candidates were packaged to win the Philippine elections; I got to meet and interact with some of the most powerful people in the country; and I was privileged to have participated in two celebrated Supreme Court oral arguments in a span of one month. What more can a young lawyer ask for in terms of career opportunities?

July 2007, my boss was finally proclaimed Senator of the Republic of the Philippines . After everything that happened in the campaign, who would have thought that I would walk away again from the thrill of politics, power and connections. I was invited to head the Senate legislative unit of my boss, but I politely declined his invitation. He asked me several times why I would not join his senate team and I just smiled.

To date, perhaps the Senator still believes that I declined his offer because I went to China for a scholarship program. But truth to tell, I had reached a stage where there are certain standards and values that I could not compromise anymore. And at this point, I have realized that settling for less is no longer an option. Good pay and some power that one might get from working in the Senate are so tempting but they are not enough. This whole experience taught me that in life -- character, integrity and credibility are more important. They are non-negotiables, something that cannot be faked, either you have them or you don’t, and when you do, don’t ever sell out.

Now that I am away from the daily grind of Philippine politics, do I miss the adrenaline rush of knowing the inside stories behind the political events? Yes. But do I regret walking away from the opportunity to be a part of it right now? No. Walking away does not mean quitting… walking away does not mean you are weak… sometimes walking away might be the braver and more difficult thing to do.

Someone once told me that men and women of character know when to walk away and when not to take less than what they deserve. True enough, it is always better to know your worth before you allow yourself to be dragged into the false promises of power, fame, and money. I could still recall a colleague proudly betting five grand that I cannot give up and walk away from everything at that moment, and I just said, “watch me!”

Today, I am in a place far enough to give me a good perspective of what is happening in the crowded circle where I used to thrive. And here I realized that my decision to walk away was one of the toughest that I have made in my lifetime, yet, one that I am truly proud of. Walking away does not mean turning your back at an opportunity for the rest of your life. Sometimes, it is just taking a stand and not settling for less than what you deserve. Or it can simply be taking a good break and reinventing oneself for that bigger and better comeback.
