WatchJack dancing his heart out! Isn’t he just lovely and adorable? Tell me, he’s got the moves, right? I actually call him my little Justin Beiber coz he’ll sing and dance for me whenever I ask him to. :p
Anyway, here’s a little back story before his undeniable dance enthusiasm. He was at his Bake and Boogie class and all the other kids were getting ready for the Boogie part....

Truly Magical and Unbelievable →
I was in awe when I first saw these photos. This just proves how amazing God and all His creations are. How can science explain something like this? Can you enlighten? Hehehe..
Anika's Heart →
I came across this blog through a friend in Twitter. I read this little girl’s story and it has truly touched my heart. She seems like a really sweet and nice little angel, and i think what she’s going through right now in her tender age is not fair. I know our Lord God has His greater plans for all of us, including Anika and her family, but i think hers is too much to handle.
I am...
Rainy days always make me down
It’s a very rainy Saturday and i’m trapped here at home with nothing to do but to watch TV the whole day, surf the net and stare at my phone for nothing.
It is super depressing outside, non-stop rain since last night, very dark clouds, strong winds blowing in all directions. If I am back home (in the Philippines), i would say that there is a storm right now.
Rain — that’s...

An Atheist Professor of Philosophy was speaking to...
Professor: You are a Christian, aren’t you, son?
Student: Yes, sir.
Professor: So, you believe in God?
Student: Absolutely, sir.
Professor: Is God good?
Student: Sure.
Professor: My brother died of cancer, even though he prayed to God to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But God didn’t. How is God good, then? Hmm?
(Student was silent)
Professor: You can’t answer, can you? Let’s start again, young fella. Is God good?
Student: Yes.
Professor: Is Satan good?
Student: No.
Professor: Where does Satan come from?
Student: From.. God.
Professor: That’s right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?
Student: Yes.
Professor: Evil is everywhere, isn’t it? And God did make everything. Correct?
Student: Yes.
Professor: So who created evil?
(Student didn’t answer)
Professor: Is there sickness? Immortality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don’t they?
Student: Yes, sir.
Professor: So, who created them?
(Student had no answer)
Professor: Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son.. have you ever seen God?
Student: No, sir.
Professor: Tell us if you have ever heard your God.
Student: No, sir.
Professor: Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, smelt your God? Have you ever had any sensory perception of God, for that matter?
Student: No, sir. I’m afraid I haven’t.
Professor: Yet you still believe in Him?
Student: Yes.
Professor: According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, Science says your God doesn’t exist. What do you say to that, son?
Student: Nothing. I only have my Faith.
Professor: Yes, Faith. And that is the problem Science has.
Student: Professor, is there such a thing as Heat?
Professor: Yes.
Student: And is there such a thing as Cold?
Professor: Yes.
Student: No, sir, there isn’t.
(The Lecture Theatre became very quiet with this turn of events)
Student: Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don’t have anything called cold. We can hit 458 Degrees below Zero which is no heat, but we can’t go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of Heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.
(There was a pon-drop silence in the Lecture Theatre)
Student: What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?
Professor: Yes. What is night if there isn’t darkness?
Student: You’re wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have Low Light, Normal Light, Bright Light, Flashing Light… But if you have No Light constantly, you have nothing and it’s called Darkness, isn’t it? In reality, darkness isn’t. If it is, You would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn’t you?
Professor: So what is the point you are making, young man?
Student: Sir, my point is, your Philosophical Premise is flawed.
Professor: Flawed? Can you explain how?
Student: Sir, you are working on the Premise of Duality. You argue there is Life and then there is Death, a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, Science can’t even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life, just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?
Professor: If you are referring to the Natural Evolutionary Process, yes of course, I do.
Student: Have you ever observed Evolution with your own eyes, sir?
(The professor shook his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument was going)
Student: Since no one has ever observed the Process of Evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a Scientist but a Preacher?
(The class was in uproar)
Student: Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor’s brain?
(The class broke out into laughter)
Student: Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor’s brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? .. No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established Rules of Empirical, Stable and Demonstrable Protocol, Science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures?
(The room was silent. The Professor stared at the student, his face unfathomable)
Professor: I guess you’ll have to take them on Faith, son.
Student: That is it, sir.. exactly! The link between man and God is Faith. That is all that keeps things alive and moving!

WatchThis is such a very meaningful song. Firework by Katy Perry.
Do you know that there’s still a chance for you Cause there’s a spark in you
Nobody is too little to do whatever he/she wants. If you believe in what you can do, you can definitely achieve something no matter what other people say about you. No matter how others bring you down.

Silence that Kills
Silence is a good thing. Most of the time, it symbolizes peace and tranquility. It gives a person time to think, look back and internalize on things. But there is this kind of silence that can sometimes be so deafening that one is almost drowning in it. Silence that you don’t want to experience, silence that hurts from deep within.
The past few days had been pretty much full of silence for...

“Would it be cheesy if I say I’ll wait outside for you for however long it takes?”
– Serena Van der Woodsen (via ohmygossipgirl)
Totally cheesy!! I was smiling from ear to ear while they’re talking on the phone, really hoping that they’ll patch things up and get on where they left. Dan and Serena are my two favorite people on Gossip Girl.
Frustration on Tonight's GG Ep
After the Ballet Grand Opening, Serena decides to call Dan to invite her over to her place, saying she’ll wait for as long as it takes.
By this time, i am already sitting on the edge of my bed, feeling giddy as a horse, waiting for my favorite “Derena” to finally get together and maybe patch things up between them. And then it happened, Nate showed up before Dan did and asked...

will someone sing this to me? →
The words of this song just melt my heart. Oh, I soooo love Bruno Mars, I want him to be my boyfriend! Lol!
Anyway, if someone sings this to me and i feel that he really means it, that’s it! Haha! I’m hoping that someday I’ll find the right guy who’s gonna see me just the way I am. I’, wishful thinking again.
Here’s the lyrics..enjoy!
Oh her eyes, her eyes...
Nice Food, Good Conversation
Tonight, i got to try Indian food for the first time, and contrary to popular hearsay, i actually loved it! I’m not a big fan of spicy food but the dishes i tried were delish! My fav were samosa and butter chicken, especially the last one, yum!
We sat there, on the table, just four adults (without kids), enjoying great food and having very diverse conversation. Topics ranged from the...
Just Venting Out
It’s better not to say sorry than saying so and not meaning it one bit. And please, do you really think that saying sh*tty things behind my back’s cool? I thought you were better than that. Apparently, i was SO wrong!
I don’t have any responsibility to you so quit acting like i owe you anything. You’re pissing me off! I know everything you said about me, so next time, be...

do some extreme sports like bungee jumping or sky diving just for the thrill of it.
have a child someday even without a husband, lol! But now i’m thinking it twice (the without the...

My new addiction: GG!
Gossip Girl — Heard of it a long time ago but was never really interested in watching it. In my mind, it’s just another high school-ish series with troubled teenagers struggling with their lives.
So last week i was at this video shop looking around for something to watch to kill my after work hours and there i stumbled upon the first season of Gossip Girl. I stopped, picked up the...

Over the last past weeks, some things happened that kinda changed my plans. I was saving up so i can watch the Taylor Swift concert here in Toronto in May. I’m so stoked with just the thought of it, but now that dream’s over. No more Taylor concert for me. I felt kinda sad but i told myself that it’s ok, i can always cross the border if i really wanna watch her in concert,...
To you Static Electricity,
I didn’t mean to hurt your feelings with what i said a while ago so don’t be mad. Now you’re starting to creep me out. Are you stalking me? Now, everywhere i go you follow me. When i come near the switch to turn on the lights, you’re there or even as i touch the door knob to open the door.
What is it about me that attracted you so much? Please...
At McDonald's with Jordan (3yrs old) and Jack (18 mos)
Mang Rudy (Staff): hey Jordan, do you have a girlfriend?
Jordan: Yes!
Mang Rudy: What's the name of your girlfriend?
Jordan (pointing at me): Gerell! (then he smiles ever so sweetly)
Me: Awwwww.. Thanks Jordan! :)
Dear Static Electricity,
I have a feeling that you want me to be your besy friend. You seem to like me a LOT. Can you please leave me alone? I don’t like it when you suddenly suprise me with your presence. I hope you don’t mind. Thanks!
Begging you please,
G :)
What a fine and beautiful winter day! Spring, why do i love thee? You’re almost within my reach. I can’t wait for you to finally come. Oh Spring! :)
There is victory after defeat, it’s been proven countless times. So, when sadness and hopelessness looms over, just keep the faith and everything’s gonna be alright.
