[VARIETY] Family Outing



and now even reality tv shows in Korea is a big hit for me. At first I didn't even bother to watch the trailer because their attire sucks you can't even see pretty faces from the cast but then again I was wrong, well they're not so good looking but they're not ugly either, and that's what people want now to see... "reality", of course it's scripted in some way but you can see here in this show that they are being what they really are. And I really appreciate Hyori's natural beauty, she doesn't even care if her face is swollen when the camera is right in front of her face. This show is like Eat bulaga, not the same concept but how they get close together because of their everyday filming.

I'm also amazed by this show because in this generation we always rely on technology.. we always have instant something. They (family outing members) always go to small towns and fish for their own food, and make their own food from scratch and so on that technology is nowhere to be found. It makes me wanna go to Korea. hahah!... or maybe just in Koreatown and grab some Kalbi meat and Ramen noodles and Cold soup noodles..and Kimchi and Kimbap... Wahh! I gotta find time to visit Koreatown! It's killing me!!

Time for a change:2PMnida

Time For A Change- 2PM

WooYoung, TaecYeon, Chansung, Junsu, JunHo, JaeBeom, NichKhun

A product of JYP. I still can't decide who's number one among all the groups.. they have different styles... with their outfits.. not so much, but with their voice, they stand out in their own ways. Nichkhun does not excel in dancing nor in singing, but i think what makes him stay in the group is his look and his multilingual ability, JYP is a little obsess with english speaking talents. Jaebum.. hands down with his dancing skills, he's good at singing but Junsu really hits it. Jaebum reminds me of my past boyfriend when I was in first year high school. hahaha! I'm just sad to hear that he's jealous of Nichkhun.. he's good in his own way.. Nichkhun.. i love you, but you make Jaebum sad. Taec, nothing much about him, he looks like he's a good guy, watching him in idol army makes me wanna pick him. Junho is like Rain's carbon copy without the emo hair! and last but not the least.. WooYoung! he's so cute! seeing his baby pictures makes me think that he really wants where he's at right now. and and.. he's unique moves in star king ( i hope i can find a gif of that T_T) killed everybody! I hope what I see on t.v. is the real deal, I really hope to see more of them. I just hope that fabricated stories are not popular in Korean Entertainment.. I would be really disappointed if they do that also.

here are some of their songs that I really liked. although they are known from their song "10 out of 10" and "Again & Again" I still pick the slow songs because I think that's where true talents will "manifest" haha!.

Underneath of your In-n-Out



I wasn't aware that in-n-out have the same strategy of sharing the word as forever 21. and I just think it's a cool idea to share the word.

 BIBLE REFERENCE: In-N-Out prints discreet references to Bible verses on their paper utensils. The print is small and out of the way, and only contains the book, chapter and verse numbers, not the actual text of the passages. The practice began in the 1980s during Rich Snyder's presidency,[28] a reflection of the beliefs held by the Snyder family.

    * Burger and cheeseburger wrappers
        Revelation 3:20—"Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear My voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me."[29]

    * Beverage cups and antenna toppers
        John 3:16—"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."[30]

    * Milkshake cups
        Proverbs 3:5—"Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding."[31]

    * Double-Double wrapper
        Nahum 1:7—"The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him."[32]

    * Paper water cups, or "R-9's"
        John 14:6—"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."[33]

FIREPROOF(5 Stars)

Category:Movies
Genre: Kids & Family

Finally got the chance to watch it. I won't be out of place na, hahah! It's really a great movie. It's a story that we can really see in real life. I am not in a relationship and definitely not married but somehow I know that a bad situation can happen in marriage. Divorce is never the answer when marriage fails, you have to work things out as one. Marriage is not contract when you recite the vows in front of God, it's a covenant. I like that. :D

SYNOPSIS: A heroic fireman locked in a failing marriage accepts his father's challenge to take part in a 40-day experiment designed to teach both husband and wife the true meaning of commitment in this faith-based marriage drama starring Kirk Cameron and Erin Bethea. When he's battling blazes, Capt. Caleb Holt (Cameron) adheres to the old firefighter's adage about never leaving your partner behind; back at home, it's an altogether different story. Caleb and his wife Catherine (Bethea) have been married for seven years, but lately arguments over career, housework, finances, and outside interests have driven the once-happy couple hopelessly apart. Just as Caleb and Catherine prepare to officially dissolve their marriage, Caleb's father John (Harris Malcolm) presents his son with a most unusual challenge: commit to a 40-day experiment called "The Love Dare," and take one last shot at saving his marriage. While at first Caleb agrees to take a chance on "The Love Dare," the discovery that it's closely tied in with his parent's newfound faith causes him to momentarily reconsider. Still, Caleb carries on with the experiment despite being constantly rejected by his skeptical, embittered wife. When Caleb asks his father how he can be expected to love someone who refuses to give him a fair chance, John tells his son that this is precisely the same love that God shows for humankind. Now, with a little help from above, the man who makes headlines for saving lives will fight to be a hero to the one person who matters most -- his wife. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Little Torreses

Compiled video clips when we were still living in olonggapo. I don't remember much about our life there, but all of them said that they treasure a lot of memories from that years. We lived there for 5 years but we spend our Christmas in Muntinlupa with my Dad's side.

I decided to remove the audio from the video to make it more dramatic :)).. and to hide our itik voices ;p

How much of your heart will be left for your wife?

(I stumble on crosseyedblog.com and read one of their blogs.. hehe. anyway, The author quote something from the book I kissed dating goodbye by Josh Harris that hit hard on me, well of course it's a guy POV but it's still the same with us young ladies.)

    “It was finally here—Anna’s wedding day, the day she had dreamed about and planned for months. The small, picturesque church was crowded with friends and family. Sunlight poured through the stained-glass windows, and the gentle music of a stringed quartet filled the air. Anna walked down the aisle toward David. Joy surged within her. This was the moment for which she had waited so long. He gently took her hand, and they turned toward the altar.

    But as the minister began to lead Anna and David through their vows, the unthinkable happened. A girl stood up in the middle of the congregation, walked quietly to the altar, and took David’s other hand. Another girl approached and stood next to the first, followed by another. Soon, a chain of six girls stood by him as he repeated his vows to Anna.

    Anna felt her lip beginning to quiver as tears welled up in her eyes. “Is this some kind of joke?” she whispered to David.

    “I’m…I’m sorry, Anna,” he said, staring at the floor.

    “Who are these girls, David? What is going on?” she gasped.

    “They’re girls from my past,” he answered sadly. “Anna, they don’t mean anything to me now… but I’ve given part of my heart to each of them.”

    “I thought your heart was mine,” she said.

    “It is, it is,” he pleaded. “Everything that’s left is yours.”

Love: Epistles of John

Photobucket


(EDITED)
Love is described in different ways, but there’s only one true love. And it’s not the love everybody expected it to be. I’m just so amazed how really God’s word is so different from others. It’s unique and opposite from what the world teaches us.
In a relationship you have to have respect for your partner, you need to know true things and specific things about the person you have relationship with. You have to do what your partner wants or the other way around, you have to do all those things or else your relationship will not work. Love is not just a word we spell but it also involves requirement in order to keep the fire burning how others say it. Same with our relationship with God but the only difference is that no matter what we do He still loves us even if we walk away from Him, but the same as the relationship for others when the relationship is not being taken care of, it fades away. Not because God is not powerful but because we choose to.
In John’s letter love is one of the topics that he focused on. We can see in his letter that he talks about our love for others, our love for God individually and God’s love.

LOVE FOR OTHERS   
We are called to love another. Actually loving others is just the ripple effect when we love God first. It’s a requirement as a Christian but it’s not something we can fake. God knows everything and He knows are heart more than we do. We cannot love God and hate others, our love for others shows that we love God.
 1 John 4:20-21 “If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen? And this commandment we have from Him: that he who loves God must love his brother also.” I believe that we are all created in His own image and we ought to respect others no matter what their circumstances are. We respect them out of our love for God.

How do we show our love to others if they disagree with what we believe in? We don’t need to change their belief or to agree with their false belief just to have a check on our box for loving others. Now that is something we have to be careful. The danger of loving others is compromising. If they do not accept our love, then let us not push it. As believers, we don’t need to put a little bit of worldliness in our church just to be accepted by others. While Ted Kluck was having his conversation with his friend about emerging church his friend answer “loving people and ministering to the person should always be a priority but I don’t think we need to change church to fit the culture.” It’s not our job to save them but it’s our job to love them and to tell them what the truth is. When man works man works when man prays God works.

LOVE FOR GOD
If we love Him we will obey His commandments. Our love for Him does not end by accepting Him to our heart. Our relationship with Him should be growing. When do we plan to take Him seriously? Is it going to be in the middle of our walk with Him? Many baby Christians fall on this wrong expectation. Why do we even accept Him if we are not ready to commit? What good relationship has only one person giving and laying their heart out for the other person, without them doing the same in return? There is no love that does not require commitment. Not only we are fooling ourselves but we are trying to fool God.
In order to follow Him we need to let go of the things we posses. We will not reach the next level we expect to be in if we still hold on to other things that is really hindering God’s wonderful plan for us. We love God because He loved us first. We all have to go back here because most of the time we fall on being ego centric and God becomes our last priority. Above all else our relationship with Him is the most important thing we should think of.  Our relationship with Him should be right first before we can do ministry, fellowship, evangelism or anything. 
Why do we obey Him? Not just because of the rewards we will receive, not just to have gold stars in our sheet but because we love Him. We love others because we love Him. We do everything because we want to please Him.

GOD’S LOVE
It is the greatest love we could ever have. I like how John always reminds us How God loves us. He sent His Son on earth just to save us. How He longs for our communication from the beginning. We love Him because He first loved us. We have the first two love because we have God’s love. He is the foundation of our love.
It’s one of the uniqueness of Christianity among any other religion –God’s love. Our God is selfless; Our God came to earth and become a humble servant to those who do not deserve any of it. He came to heal the sick. His love can be received by everybody.
What separate us from other religion is that our God is so holy and yet He loved the unholy ones. He sent His Son to fulfill the law and to be the greatest example for us to follow. He have given so much for us not to stumble, that’s How he loved us. But we still fail, we still hurt Him. We choose the other way instead of His way. It’s not that because He’s not so powerful. But because he loved us so much that He gave us the free will to choose. Because He knew that forced love is not love at all.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Most of the time love is being misused in a Christian life. Love is important in a fellowship but once we love the wrong thing we dig our own hole to fall. We don’t use love for our own excuses to sin. God teaches us how love should be that way we have no excuse.
We fall on taking advantage of God’s love because of our selfishness. We should be watchful with our feelings and our emotions because the devil will try to steal us in any way and even uses our feelings, especially our feelings!
In order for us to be confident in facing Him when He comes, we have to live in this world according to His will. We will only have fear if we do things here in this world that is way out of His plan. Everything that we do here on earth will be examined, if we serve Him for Him or for our own sake. It’s surprising to know that a lot of Christians are afraid to die even if they know that they’re going to heaven. And it’s because they live a selfish life, what is their difference from the world? By that they miss the whole point of God’s love.
