He's the man

I just had my energy to write a new entry.
But the truth is, I’m having a slight fever, cough, and runny nose this new Year’s eve. I’m wearing socks, jogging pants, shirt, and jacket for I feel very, very cold even the temperature is just moderate. Alas!
Okay, here’s the main story; Last, December 28, 2010, My mom, my sister and I went to the salon to have our hair spa treatment. It’s either a gay or a woman who usually gives service to me. I was just surprised when a man, a real straight, cute, hunky man approached me and said he’ll be the one who will service me that afternoon. I can’t believe it! I blushed obviously and tried to make myself relax.
Every time he’ll apply chemicals onto my hairs I always feel ticklish, sometimes I giggle secretly because it’s so cute and he’s so cute. And then goes on.
I get turned off when he’s already blow drying my hair and the device was very near my scalp and I felt hurt when the heat strikes to it. I tried to keep my head away from the blower but he is still making it closer to it. Since I can’t tolerate it anymore, I finally said, “Ouch! you’re burning my scalp! Please try to distance it farther!”
He frowned.

La! Happy new year everyone!

A note to those of you hurt- Hold on

Just hold on.
Everything will be OK.
Although in our journey here in mortal life, will encounter forks and turnings in the road from time to time- some more serious and painful than others, but we all have trials that will come.
My heart is so heavy right now, I feel such a sorrow in my heart.
I just feel for those that hurt at such a hopeful time. Hang on.
This time of year you should feel ever grater love from our Savior
and you should feel the peace that comes when we place everything into his hands.
Hold on. 
I know in your heart you will have the peace and determination to do this.
I have felt that all is lost, that my life is useless and that I am good for nothing. I have learned as I have healed body and mind that, it is simply not true- and so with you.
I am all for feeling sorrow and loss, but only for a while, soon it will eat away at your soul and hurt relationships.
Carry on- move forward, hold your head high.
This too shall pass. And it does. And sometimes we will carry scars on the outside, some of us on the inside, and some both, but you are never alone.
Never.
Merry Christmas to you, and to your loved ones.

The Origin of Christmas

I love stories about origins. Where do common phrases come from? How did popular traditions arise? All that stuff is of interest to me. So ... do you know the origin of Christmas? I know, I know, you're quite sure it's of pagan origin. Lots of people will tell you that. I would suggest otherwise.
... in hope of eternal life, which God, who never lies, promised before the ages began and at the proper time manifested in his word through the preaching with which I have been entrusted by the command of God our Savior (Titus 1:2-3).
Paul, writing to Titus, makes this dazzling claim. According to Paul, God promised "before the ages began" salvation for sinful Man. (Who He promised is interesting, but not the point here.)

There is often a sense among Christians that God's plan of salvation was "Plan B". What He really wanted was a perfect race of humans, but Adam messed up God's plan, so He had to come up with an alternative to try to salvage this whole mess. Paul disagrees. Before time ("ages") began, God planned a Savior -- His Son. Adam didn't mess up God's plan; he fulfilled it. Christ wasn't "Plan B"; He was the original intention.

Where does Christmas come from? Well, we can argue over various origins of various traditions, dates, components, whatever you wish, but the whole notion of "Joy to the world! The Lord has come" was God's idea from the beginning. We are not celebrating "Plan B". The birth of our Savior was not an alternative plan. We are celebrating God's successful plan laid down before time began and carried out to perfection.
Hark! the herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King!
Peace on earth and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled!
Joyful, all ye nations, rise,
Join the triumph of the skies;
With th' angelic host proclaim
Christ is born in Bethlehem!
Hark! the herald angels sing
Glory to the new-born King!
Whatever you believe about December 25th, its traditions, or its current condition, that is something to celebrate.

why am i like this 4.0

I did something wrong in school today and I'm regretting it.

I felt hurt, who doesn't?

Its another thing I must keep in mind.

Not to mention, it's the first day of the month. Will this happen to me the whole month? I hope not for I don't want to walk on a path full of wrong doings. I'm so sorry, really am I.

(sigh)

Good luck for the next days
