Protected: The Rise of the Fallen
You know what they say about religion and science always contradict each other? Well, most of the time. You know why? Because science usually just focus on the facts and the reason why it’s this and that. But hey, after I attended the YFC leader’s meeting (I was just there to crash btw) on June 17, my views on science changed and I was wowed.
How well do you know your DNA? Or your inner body parts or whatever? I know I don’t know anything about biology. Heck, I even failed my sophomore year science. Except genetics, by the way. It was the easiest but I actually forgot it now. But there’s this one small tini-tiny protein cell in the body that I will never ever forget… As in EVER…
So that night in the YFC meeting, Met* led the meeting and showed us a video “How Great is our God”. Louie Giglio compared the earth to a size of a golf ball and showed the universe. You know how we viewed the earth as real huge? And the sun even bigger? Compare it to the other stars in the sky. Err.. I’m not going through that, actually. We all know how big the universe is and how genius God is in creating the universe.
What I’m here to let you know is the small parts of our body. Like the DNA or something… It’s a protein that makes up all your our organs (thanks to my sis for that by the way). Basically, it the protein that’s part of a structure that binds cells together to make tissue, and tissues makes organs… (thanks to my sis again… okay i’m not really sure of what I’m talking about scientifically… but the point is it’s a protein that “HOLDS THE BODY TOGETHER”.)
You know how we get all lonely and sad all the time? We feel torn apart because we don’t know what to do. We feel like there’s nothing else to do but give up. And sometimes we would go “Why is this happening, Lord?”… “Are you trying to make me suffer?” or something like that and we feel like being torn apart. But think about this next few things I’m going to say. The laminin… it’s awesome. It’s described as the protein that holds the body together. Scientifically, it binds cells that forms tissues that forms organs that forms your body whatever… Get the picture? But hey… it’s that small protein that binds everything together to hold your body.
Okay… I’m not making sense anymore, right? What’s so cool about laminin? It’s just a protein.. Well……. wait till you see how it’s diagramed by clicking here and here and here for the actual. You may think that it may just be a coincidence, but hey… it’s the sign of God. The protein that holds our body together, is the sign of God. How great is that? A million small crosses hold our body together are spread inside our body. Think of it as God is inside us to hold us together.
So point is, even if you feel so down and you think there’s nothing else in life. God is in you all the time. It may not be the laminin that will solve your problems, but just think that God’s in you no matter what. Literally or not. He will always be there to put you together and be strong. Enjoy!
This makes more sense, though: WATCH IT! It’ll blew you away
Music: None but I’d say No Longer I is the best song to be listening while reading/writing this one. It’s a song composed by YFC Wellington Music Min aka GEPC
*Name changed.
I HEART JACK SPARROW!!!
This means two things actually… But most Filis would understand why I love J.Sparrow. One meaning is because… duhhhh who doesn’t like Johnny Depp?! He’s funny, cool, awesome, great actor… and face it, guys, he’s hott. But there’s also another meaning why I love Jack Sparrow. Oh not just him but as well as William Turner, Bill Turner, Davie Jones or whatever his first name is, and a whole lot more pirates in the Pirates of the Carribean. I love these movies! It’s soooo cool. I want to be able to be in a movie like this. Anyway… back to the 2nd point why I love them…
I have Photoshop CS4 now!!! and I’m loving it… waaaahhhhh… Next up… Dreamweaver CS4! 
Enjoy
Music: None… dunno why my iTunes is a mess up. I can’t put on my music coz it’s being a mess.
*Sobs* *sniff* *sniff*I won’t be able to design for a few weeks or (hopefully) days. And the truth is, it’s not because I totally got tired of it. I just recently finished a design for Vanessa-Hudgens.ORG and will soon be out. But the aweful truth is: Dad just did a memory recovery for the laptop and we lost all files and programs. Of course, I was told about this beforehand and I did all the saving in my hard drive. HOWEVER!!!! All programs were removed including all my needs: Photoshop, Dreamweaver, iTunes, MSN Live, RealPlayer, Cute FTP… I dunno what else, but yeah those.
Ok, what’s with all the drama? I can just re-install, right? Ok I’m done re-installing MSN Live and will do iTunes later (probably Safari as well… I’m soooo falling in love with it.) The do RealPlaer and Cute FTP afterwards… But the drama is caused by my oh-so-dearest Photoshop and Dreamweaver installer that is MIA!!! I can’t find it… I’ve searched everywhere.
Surely, it’s not in the living room since I’ve fixed that place already. No more trash, no more rubbish, no more stuff out of place. Everything is in it’s rightful place in the living room (oh and it smells good, too! Smells like strawberries). So scratch living room. I’ve searched in my room. It’s clean and I know exactly what stuff are in every side, corner and place of my room. NOTHING is misplaced, NOTHING is hiding. So scratch my room. I wanted to search around my bro’s room but it’s soooo messy and this time I’m not being exag. Like, I tried to search for it in his room, since I might have misplaced it, but I gave up before I even started. So scratch my brother’s room even if it’s in there. I tried my parents’ room but it’s also a mess I don’t want to bother just yet. But I have a feeling it’s in my parents’ room. If not, then I’m dead…
I’m not so sure if someone borrowed it. I think no one did, though. Like who will? All those who NEEDS it already have theirs installed. So well… wish me luck finding that oh-so-important installer for my oh-so-needed designing since I can rely only to that while school’s not yet here. If it’s no where else to be seen, see me in my grave soon! Kidding!!! <3
Edit: SHIT!!! and omg, I just broke my promise to myself that I won’t cuss ever again… BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!! can this be an exemption?!?!?! Along with the whole memory recovery-slash-reformat thing was my files in drive c getting deleted. Now, I thought my video files are in a safe place in my hard drive only to find lately that it’s NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have the second night of band rehearsals of YFC/GEPC but now it’s poofff gone!!! I’m such an idiot!!!!!!!! OMG OMG OMG… there are tons of great shots from there. I could totally use that for my video plans but now it’s sooooo GONE. GONE GONE GONE GONE… all because of my stupidity for only saving files from Dad’s documents and completely forgot about my own documents thinking that I have it all in my hard drive… stupid stupid stupid…. grrrr… kill me now, bury me and see you all in my grave!!!!! WAAAAHHHHHHH Kill me!! where’s my psycho best friend when u need her to kill u!!!! *kills self* LOL kidding.. anyway, time for some action. I’ll probably do another shot some time… Probably on the next GPM… “/
Music: None… coz my iTunes is not yet installed.. huhuhu
I just had my crazy moment last weekend. It’s those experiences that you’ll just laugh once you reflect back and look at what had happened. God seriously wants me to crack up laughing no matter what we’re in right now. Like, God wants me to ease up and not think of the bad side of life and just laugh once in a while. (In the family, though, we’re ALWAYS cracking up!) Anyway, here goes with what happened last weekend:
Saturday, we went to Tito Andy’s house for a get together since they just got back from the Philippines. I was completely bored and was hoping all the time I brought the laptop with me. Crazy moment #1: when I wished that I saw my youngest brother playing with a PSP and I borrowed so to lessen the boredom. But there was no Tekken in Carlo’s PSP… so I borrowed Ate Reg’s PSP. Then my brother had this whole thing connecting the two PSPs and we played Tekken. My youngest bro got bored and borrowed Tito Andy’s iTouch. I was like O.O!!! I was like to my brother: Wanna play tekken? Can i borrow? Random, I know. So we swapped. I got all excited inside and played with the iTouch. Ok… Apple always makes me crazy… I’m a mac freak, what can I say? Anyway, crazy coz after wishing I brought the laptop, I actually went online using the iTouch… I know… random… LOL
So anyway, when we went home I got all too excited to work on the new layout of Vanessa-Hudgens.ORG since it’s the first time I’ve done some designing since over a month ago. I boot the laptop and as soon as it reached the password thing, it went blank and closed. I was so gutted when I restarted it never did… O.o I was soooo frustrated I didn’t get a chance to go online and just finish the layout. I tried the power switch million times, but it did not work. My brother knew it wasn’t working, my dad tried it as well. So we pretty much all know that it wasn’t working. See crazy moment #5 below.
I fell asleep at 3am, I think, feeling sooooo bad. The next morning, I was a little late for church… But surprisingly, I was alive. Ha! Well, not a surprise anymore actually. Ever since YFC, I started becoming more alive in church. I was a bad catholic. LOL… Back at home we went looking for the receipt of the laptop so we can have it changed (it’s on warranty for 3 years) but with NO luck! My dad was having a bad mood because he was totally in need of a laptop to look for a job. Not my fault the computer went crazy. So we spent hours since the Saturday night looking for the receipt when…
Today was so different from my usual routine, which is: wake up, do whatever morning bathroom stuff, workout, eat brunch, go online. However, today, my dad decided not to go to work and load himself with it on Friday. So I’ve got nothing to do but lie around and be a bummer again. I worked out for a short while but dad called me for brunch even before I finish my usual work out. So I ate… and dang, I ate pasta! and I finished all.. It’s a bit much so I was so full. I could walk from home and around the street to get rid of the fat consumed, but I wasn’t feeling the outdoors even if it was a little sunny earlier today.
Then all of a sudden, I just don’t feel the living room because it was totally a whole big trash! And I just told myself that the living room was a total mess, so I decided to just clean the living room and create a space for me to dance to for a while. But then I ended up sorting things out, removing pieces that shouldn’t be in a place where you do your living.
And then… it ended up moving the furnitures around. It’s not totally changed but you can see the difference. It’s a lot spacious now than before. I couldn’t move the TV though. It’s not stuck there and I’m also allowed, but the cable wiring was so small I couldn’t put it elsewhere. So that pretty much was my limitation.
I thought I’ll end up stuffing stuff once I get tired of it, but surprise, surprise, I finished it! I felt very responsible now. I also vacuumed the carpet, so whoever trashes the place will clean the whole house and not just the living room. I’ll post the new look tomorrow. But I don’t have a photo of the old look of the living room, I think…
Anyway, my writing isn’t good anymore, I can tell… I’m sooo tired and it’s 2am! I should sleep. Night!

First time I’m going to talk about websites. Anyway, I’m just posting up to tell about the update I made on the website. I pretty much put up the about me page concerning some of my basic facts, favorites and a whole bunch of other nonsense. If you’re interested then go ahead and click on the ‘About’ link above. If not, fine then… LOL
And OMG it’s raining! Well, what do I expect. It’s winter!!! Yes, people in America and Canada, it IS winter here in New Zealand so don’t be surprised. We are the exact opposite of your country! Hahaha.
Anyway, I’ll probably work on my Worx page soon, which involves all my site works. If you guys have a blog and want me to put it on the sidebar, let me know by leaving a comment. And be sure that I get to follow your blog as well. Hehehe.
Also, I was suppose to work on the new Vanessa-Hudgens.ORG design, but well distraction, distraction… I’ll probably work on it tomorrow. But HEY! Great awesome news!!!!!! Vanessa-Hudgens.ORG is on the 2nd page of google now! Finally… Working on putting it up on the 1st page. Thanks to all the visitors that support both Vanessa and the site. Thanks a whole bunch!! Loves you all

How I wish. Not really, but I’m actually am going to Vic University today with a friend of mine to meet up with a Liaison Officer to talk about courses. I know I have decided to take up Film Studies in school when I can, but I still have to decide if Theater is for me. So that will be decided today or within the next few days after I talk. I’ll edit later when I get back. Toodle-loo… Loves <3
Edited: I just got back from Vic University and what can I say? I AM REALLY EXCITED! Well, the word we used today actually was ‘desperate’… Yes. I was pretty much desperate to go back to school. Some of my friends have said I was lucky to not have school. But seriously… If you know you want to establish yourself and mind to the chosen career you want, you will want to have school no matter how much freedom you’re having.
Freedom = boredom. You are free to do whatever you want, yes. No school, no home works, no tests, no school nights, no requirements to finish on due date. But not really. No school means alone at home, no hang outs, no productive works, and you’ll just get lazier and lazier every minute. Back then, I was enjoying all of these because I get to focus on Vanessa-Hudgens.ORG. Every single minute I was away from school, all I did was websites and designs. I’ve been doing that ever since 2004 even while attending school. But as soon as I realized what I was missing for the past 3 years since I graduated from High School in the Philippines, I craved for University learning. (And to be honest, I was suppose to get my degree next year if I was studying in the Philippines).
“yes, i think school can be such a headache at loads of times but, on the other hand, i also think that that’s where the fun of being a student comes from. i mean, there’s so much hype at first but in the end, you’ll see the outcome of your hard work and it’s worth every effort you put on it.” – Razz
I for one really wanted to stay. Of course, it’s always cool to be back home in the Philippines. I stayed there for 17 years, and there are tons of memories already made with families and friends. But, that was just it. Those are memories I’d just like to remember one day in the future. Building a life is what I’m doing now here abroad. Oh, wait, before I go there, I guess I’ll just make things clear.
If you read the about me part on the sidebar (still under construction, by the way), I have mentioned that I am a Filipina who lives in New Zealand. Six years ago, my parents were talking about Canada and Australia as possible countries to live. Later, we heard them talking about New Zealand. They didn’t actually broke the news by going “Hey, we’re moving to New Zealand soon…” Nope. They actually were just planning and all, and the five of us (me and my siblings) all just figured it out. I think about a year later, they were planning and doing stuff about it right in front of us. So that pretty much was what broke the news to us.
At first, of course, it wasn’t the plan we wanted to get involved into. I really didn’t like the idea but I didn’t say anything. But I also didn’t go on rebel mode. I just lived my life the way I always do and stayed innocent. But I am lying if I say I didn’t complain about it to my friends. Every year I would tell my friends that there’s a possiblity that we’re moving to New Zealand. I know it wasn’t a good news to tell everyone and I could feel my face wasn’t pasting a smile. I need to tell someone, right? But then every year, I’m still showing up in school. There were no news that we’re moving to New Zealand until 2006.
Ha! It’s been months since I worked on my blog, and it’s now the 6th month of the year and I haven’t done anything. Well, the blog is back up but the design site is still under construction. There had been so many changes in my life that my closest online friends can tell what it was. I’m trying to gain back my webmaking interest back to be able to open my design site. It’s crazy, I know. But well… ha! We all grow up!
Anyway, there’s, like, the smallest, tiniest bit chance someone’s going to read any of my stuff around here. I’m not even expecting this will reach someone’s eyes and interest. But a blog’s a blog… If you’re interested, comment. If not, well.. Whatever, I’m bored, at least I got something to do while waiting for tons of stuff.
So plans for the year just got ruined, so I’m changing it. My best friend, (which btw I’m only going to call SIS to protect her identity) knows everything. And hopefully, we’re right about the reason why after wishing for school so badly, I still have to wait 8 more months. [Sis, if we're right, I'm sooooo going to shop for you on my first project! Remind me that!] And whatever my sis and I have thought, it stays between the two of us ’till I feel like sharing it. HAHAHA… Meanie? Well, no ones reading this anyway, so what’s the point.
Well, right now, all I have to do is keep the blog up and record whatever’s worth recording in my day. That’ll help me see the improvement in me and my life by the time I’m moving on with school or work or whatever. That’d be cool. For now, I just need to believe in and accept whatever’s happening in my life. God works his miracles and magic and things will happen unexpectedly. You just gotta have Him in your life. And I know for real that He is.
Oh and by the way, the look on this website is not by me and is downloaded from Wordpress Theme Base. I’m just not so good in designing right now and my mind isn’t working well with working. But I’ll probably bring the Audrey Hepburn design back sometime. It’s just such a cute vintage design and I’m so proud of it. Or if not, maybe as soon as I’m back designing. Anyway, it’s definitely JUST a temporary layout.

P.S. I’m like into soundtrip at the moment. I can never work nowadays without music. Ha! Acoustic is <3…
