Never Have Imagined

For at least once in your entire life, you will somehow have this opportunity to experience a "fairy tale-like" kind of situation wherein you find yourself floating amid the realm of fantasy. Some people totally don't mind those nonsense fictions and ignore whatever possibilities that may link a virtual event into reality, and I do admit I am one--but that thinking eventually changed right after this certain happening which "should-have-been impossible", if only this feeling didn't grow this strong and haven't gone this far. In my belief, one thing alone can make anything and everything possible--Love.

It was sometime in the middle of October 2014 when I first stepped a foot inside Arthur Suites Boutique Hotel in General Luna. It was lunch break and we had a four-hour vacant time before our Chemistry class in which we would have to prepare for a long quiz. My friends whom I spend my break time with, have a friend who rents a room in Arthur's and the good news there is that we found a place to consume those free hours without having to worry about what food and drinks to order. Knowing how practical it is to stay there for a little while, I let my friends take the lead.

As soon as we got there, OF COURSE, for somebody who is an alien to that surrounding, I was a bit suspicious--I look around carefully and observe the new faces I see. There, I was able to meet nang Zia, the one who rents a room in Arthur's, and some of her friends whom I easily got along with. Well, that went smooth for me since I am that kind of person who gets along well with other people--an extrovert they say.

However, I almost lost myself and forgot about those personality stuffs I have mentioned when a group of young men with peculiar faces entered the same room that I am in. They were the close friends of nang Zia's boyfriend, but they were strangers to my sight. I can't exactly remember how many they were, but I can ALMOST exactly remember the moment the last guy entered the room. He caught my attention so strongly that I felt myself weaken as I gaze in his eyes. OH BOY, he got me mesmerized for about three seconds! I actually didn't know how it all went through, but one thing is for sure--it was meant to happen.

That wasn't the end of the story though. His face was quite familiar to me, though I'm sure we haven't met before, and I can see the old image of my elder half-brother in his little chinky eyes. However, his pleasant aura didn't define his personality and that fact ABSOLUTELY triggered my interest. He overshadowed me at that moment and I felt completely different from the person I was before he came. He had all the loud talks, the obnoxious laughs, the annoying words that made me ponder on what he was really up to.

After all, he was just trying to be friendly, I guess, but that didn't seem like it was for me because I had to set my focus on my Chemistry notes which was most important at that moment. Yet, I can BARELY fathom the knowledge from what I've been reading for he continues to divert my attention in the best way that he can and I was like "Where the hell did he get the guts to distract somebody he just met?!". He never ever stopped, not until they decided to go out for a while to buy lunch for all of us in that room.

As soon as he disappeared, I was amazed to hear people telling me stuffs like "Oh, don't mind him that much. That's just the way he is!", without even giving them a clue on how I reacted to his manner. I just smiled shyly back at them but they have NO IDEA what kind of hell there is inside of me because I was too pissed off. When they had arrived, he was back to business. But this time, he was already REALLY destroying my patience!

I did't know where to place myself in that particular situation because I'm nearly exploding but I know my limits as a "first timer" in a place. GLADLY, I was able to calm myself as we ate lunch together even if I feel like everyone in the room stares at me now and then because of what he's been doing. In order for me to regain the strength which I had lost upon seeing him, I made myself stare back at him with NO malice. There, I got back everything I have and that includes my own dignity.

In the long run, I somehow found a piece of myself as I deeply looked through his mesmerizing eyes. There were hidden truths which made the story more complicated and I still wonder how we ever made it through. I never have imagined those things to be possible, until it happened. Who would've thought that the moment our eyes met, that was exactly the moment I found the man who would break my heart, but would eventually fix it? After all, that was only just the beginning. Oops! Almost forgot one last thing. Wondering who that mysterious guy is?--Sweden Louise Wu--I LOVE YOU!!! :*

FRAGRANCE PRAYER

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_TW_JaXSi0&feature=g-upl&context=G2d0362cAUAAAAAAACAA

Refrain
Dear Jesus, help me to spread your
fragrance ev'rywhere that I go.
Dear Jesus, flood my soul
with your spirit and your love.

Verses
1. Penetrate and possess my being
so utterly that all my life
may only be a radiance of you.

2. Shine through me and be so in me
that ev'ry soul I meet
may feel your presence
in my soul.

3. Let them look up and see
no longer me but only you,
my Jesus.
Stay with me and then
I shall begin to shine
as you shine so to shine
as a light to all...

SPEAK LORD

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1mdobkR168&feature=context&context=G2d0362cAUAAAAAAACAA

Speak, Lord, for Thy servant hears
Speak, Lord, for Thy servant hears
I am but a child, yet Thou hast called my name
There must be a special task for me to claim
Speak, Lord, tell me all Thy will
Speak, Lord, in a voice so still

Come, Lord, take me by the hand
Come, Lord, teach a child to stand
Show me where to go and tell me what to say
Give Thy Word to light my path
And point the way.
Yes, Lord, I obey Thy Word
Yes, Lord, I obey Thy Word..

Show me where to go and tell me what to say
Give Thy Word to light my path
And point the way.
Yes, Lord, I obey Thy Word
Yes, Lord, I obey Thy Word..

HERE IS MY HEART

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzd7_G9ENbM&feature=g-upl&context=G25b0ad2AUAAAAAAABAA

Merciful Savior
Gracious Redeemer
Slow in Your anger
Rich in Your love
Full of compassion
Longing to heal and bless
You will forgive all of my sins
If I will confess

Here is my heart Lord
I lay it open
Search every corner
Cleanse every part
Here is my heart Lord
Yielded and broken
Merciful Lord
Come and restore
Here is my heart

Son of the Father
Way of Salvation
Humble Redeemer
Lamb of God
Full of compassion
Longing to heal and bless
You will forgive all of my sins
If I will confess

My Heart♥ Echoes

Sometimes we close our eyes and just listen to the echoes of our hearts. We all fall in love and there are times when we love so much that we lose ourselves in our emotions. More often than not, we wonder why there are love that grows, and love that grows cold. We would start to search for answers and try to find where love has gone wrong. But in the end, we find ourselves where we started for we cannot question love when it has its own reasons. Love will always be as it always has been….silent, mysterious and deeply profound.

Many of us believe that love is forever, that love never dies, only to be disillusioned in the end when we find our hands empty and our hearts longing. We mistakenly have looked at love as a need to be fulfilled. But love is a gift given to us. We should not hold it in our hands for we may never find the strength to let it go when it decides to leave. We should only embrace its warmth and glow while it last and then freely open our arms when its time to say good-bye.

And so I'll say goodbye, to you, Saint Elizabeth but for you to know, you will always be echoing in my heart.. ♥

March Day Serenade

The frosty days are put to rest
As winter turns to spring
We cast an eye up to the sky
To what this month will bring.

A day when dark clouds gently brew
With not one leaf a stirring
When thunder peals as lightning cracks
A raging storm, enduring.

As shifting winds blow here and there
Without a rhyme or reason 
When Ides of March come out to play
A turbulent sort of season.

We've waited long for nature's song
For freshness in the air
For rainy days and purple haze
For breezes sweet and fair.

A time of kites and windy days
A time when dreams are made
A time when God blows forth a kiss
A March day serenade.

Prayer for Japan

Lift up your hearts in prayer
The need is now at hand
The cry of death and misery
Is heard throughout the land.

Tsunami has killed thousands
The numbers still do grow
This mighty act of nature
Hath dealt an awful blow.

Disease is running rampant
Their lives are filled with woe
The torment and the destruction
Is more than we could know.

Lift up your hearts in prayer
For many souls have died
The precious little children
And all who have survived.

Pray for aunts and uncles
For mothers filled with grief
Pray that 'God of Abraham' 
Will send them some relief.

Lift up your heart in prayer
For those who tried to flee
The giant wall of water
Tossed by a raging sea.

Pray for the lost and hungry
The homeless and the weak
Pray that these ravaged countries
Will find the help they seek.

Japan at Risk !

A huge 8.8 earthquake hit off the coast of Japan at 2:46 PM, March 10, 2011 triggering a huge tsunami that's sweeping away everything in its path.

"I thought I was going to die, it was enormous," a Japan resident said on TV.

A Reuters reporter in Japan described the quake as, "the worst I have felt since I came to Japan more than 20 years ago."

Buildings that have been hit:

1. An oil refinery in Chiba (a city close to Tokyo) prefecture is battling a major fire.
2.The roof collapsed in the Tokyo Kudan Kaikan, where 600 people were gathering for a college graduation. 25 people were injured, 5 seriously.
3.A ceiling collapsed in a bookstore in Sendai, northeastern Japan.
4.More than 8.4 million buildings in Japan have been hit by a power failure, 4 million are households.
5.A nuclear power plant is facing an "emergency situation".

4 more Days and it's over .. :(

Thank You for the moments Saint Elizabeth. !
10 months is almost done . But the thoughts we shared,
the insanity, the ups and downs, loneliness and happiness,
seem to last a lifetime .. You made my heart a perfect shape.
I'll really miss you my beloved section, but time cannot be frozen.
So I shall say goodbye . No matter how hard, it is reality ..
You've been a big part of me, yet move on. !
We will see each other again,soon.. :)

I LOVE YOU ALL ! :D

All About Pixels :D

In computer graphics, pixelation is an effect caused by displaying a bitmap or a section of a bitmap at such a large size that individual pixels, small single-colored square display elements that comprise the bitmap, are visible to the eye. Such an image is said to be pixelated.

Early graphical applications such as video games ran at very low resolutions with a small number of colors, and so had easily visible pixels. The resulting sharp edges gave curved objects and diagonal lines an unnatural appearance. However, when the number of available colors increased to 256, it was possible to gainfully employ anti-aliasing to smooth the appearance of low-resolution objects, not eliminating pixelation but making it less jarring to the eye. Higher resolutions would soon make this type of pixelation all but invisible on the screen, but pixelation is still visible if a low-resolution image is printed on paper.

♥Journalism Elements♥

Journalism's first obligation is to the truth.
Its first loyalty is to the citizens.
Its essence is discipline of verification.
Its practitioners must maintain an independence from those they cover.
It must serve as an independent monitor of power.
It must provide a forum for public criticism and compromise.
It must strive to make the significant interesting, and relevant.
It must keep the news comprehensive and proportional.
Its practitioners must be allowed to exercise their personal conscience.
Its the rights and responsibilities of citizens.

♥Journalism History♥

Newspapers and periodicals often contain features often composed by journalists who specialize in this form.

Feature articles are usually longer forms of writing; more attention is paid to style than in straight news reports. They are often combined with photographs, drawings or other "art." They may also be highlighted by typographic effects or colors.

Writing features can be more demanding than writing straight news stories, because while a journalist must apply the same amount of effort to accurately gather and report the facts of the story, the journalist should also write it to be creative and interesting. The lead must grab the reader's attention and still accurately embody the ideas of the article.

In the last half of the 20th century, the line blurred between straight news reporting and feature writing. Journalists and publications today experiment with different approaches to writing. Tom Wolfe, Gay Talese, Hunter S. Thompson are some of these examples. Urban and alternative newsweeklies go even further in blurring the distinction, and many magazines include more features than straight news.

Some television news shows experimented with alternative formats, and many TV shows that claimed to be news shows were not considered as such by traditional critics, because their content and methods do not adhere to accepted journalistic standards. National Public Radio, on the other hand, is considered a good example of mixing straight news reporting, features, and combination of the two, usually meeting standards of high quality. Other U.S. public radio news organizations have achieved similar results.

♥Journalism♥

Journalism is the investigation and reporting of events, issues, and trends to a broad audience. Although there is much variation within journalism, the ideal is to inform the citizenry. Besides covering organizations and institutions such as government and business, journalism also covers cultural aspects of society such as arts and entertainment. The field includes jobs such as editing, photojournalism, and documentary.
