It's been super hot all week, and my room's like this oven during the afternoons that if I don't try to at least go downstairs and get a drink or something else to cool off, i might even roast myself to death in here! o.O

Anyway, guess what? I got bangs! Yarr! The first day, I thought it was a total disaster... the bangs were cut too short and stuff and I couldn't figure out just what to do with the stupid stuff on my forehead.. but today, I think I was over it.. xD All I had to do was NOT part them in the middle 'cause it makes me look goofy, instead combing them to the side so it won't look weird. Nyeah..and I also got my hair trimmed to take off them nasty split ends... but methinks it's too short.. I dunno. At least it'll grow back.

What else? Hmr... Oooh! That Mary Kay and Villi thing's been on the news lately (34-year-old teacher dating her 12-year-old student?)... I personally think people should leave them alone. I mean, sure the age difference is weird, but the Mary Kay already did 7 and a half years in prison and Villi's already 22, so everyone should just go get busy with Britney Spears or something. I don't really see anything wrong with them finally marrying... They're both adults (now) and I think they really really care about each other, so there! :-P

Oooh...and Tom Cruise dating Katie Holmes?!? WHAT??
Ergh. First he parted ways with Nicole, who was, like...one of the most gorgeous women in the world..
Then he got bored with Penelope Cruz who I like muchos 'cause she's so pretty and nice and I can't really understand the stuff she's saying most of the time but who cares?

And now... Katie Holmes??? Ergh. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie I could understand.. But Katie Holmes?!?

Nevermind. -.-;

Oooooh! And Poopy got her first bath today. ^_^

Well, today was...hmm...interesting. xD Met Anton's friends, and they are adorable. xD Nerdy, yeah, but adorable. lol. They were still doing that whateveritscalled where they have to decide what sort of role they'd wanna have in their game thingie. I havta admit it was a bit..hmm.. how should I say this in a nice way.. er.. boring? Yeah. It's not that they weren't doing anything spiffy, it's just that I can't understand any dingdong thing they're talking about.. so I guess my sparkly nails got most of my attention. I had to leave early too 'cause my aunt wanted me for something at Ayala. Yarm..

What else? Hmm.. well, gonna meet my friend Rikko tomorrow and hang out for probably the last time since he'll be off to America on May 2nd, methinks. Yeah.. :(
Kaye's gone. Carlo's gone. Cristy's gone. Justine's gone. And now Rik's gone...

*sighs* Who's next?
Is everyone going somewhere and leave me here?

I've got a memory a thousand years old
And I know secrets I've never been told
And I've got jewels I haven't found
And they'll return me to the ground

I'm the girl, I'm the girl, I'm the girl, You know me
I'm the girl, I'm the girl, I'm the girl, You know me

And I'm a siren, I'll wreck you on my shores
And I'm Godiva, I'll call you back for more
And I'm Medusa, and I'm your favourite doll
And I'm a Georgia O'Keeffe hanging on your wall

I'm the girl, I'm the girl, I'm the girl, You know me
I'm the girl, I'm the girl, I'm the girl, You know me

I'm Joan of Arc, I'm the girl next door
I'm the mother and the daughter
of the mother and the daughter before

And I remember being born just
Sound and light and sound and light
And I remember the first time,
skin on skin in the arms of the night
Well, how many times have we looked up into the starry skies
and how many times have we felt the passion rise

Every ruby-lipped girl, baby,
old lady, squaw junkie, girl after girl after girl
every muse, whore, good witch
princess, back arching, year after year after year

I'm the girl, I'm the girl, I'm the girl, You know me
I'm the girl, I'm the girl, I'm the girl, You know me

I'm Joan of Arc, I'm the girl next door
I'm the mother and the daughter
of the mother and the daughter
the mother and the daughter
of the mother and the daughter before...

jellyfishes as big as washing machines found in Japan!!!


creepy!!!

One of two 19-year-old fish with human-like facial features in Chongju, about 140 km (88 miles) south of Seoul on January 10, 2005. The hybrid species fish were born between a carp and a leather carp in the pond of a personal house in Chongju. Each of the two female fish is 80 cm (32 inches) long and 50 cm (20 inches) in circumference. The owner of the fish said on Monday that their faces have begun to look more and more human over the last couple of years. Picture taken January 10. KOREA OUT REUTERS/Chungcheong Today

Nahum 1:2
The Lord is a jealous God and avenging, the Lord is avenging and wrathful; the Lord takes vengeace on his adversaries and keeps wrath for his enemies.

Deuteronomy 13:6, 8-10
If your brother, the son of your mother, or your son, or your daughter, or the wife of your bosom, or your friend...entices you secretly, saying "Let us go and serve other gods," you shall not yield to him or listen to him, nor shall your eye pity him, nor shall you spare him, nor shall you conceal him; but you shall kill him; your hand shall be first againt him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all people. You shall stone him to death...

Deuteronomy 21:18-21
If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son, who will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and though they chastise him, will not give heed to them, then his father and mother shall take hold of him and bring him out of the elders of his city... Then all the men in the city shall stone him to death...

Deuteronomy 3:2, 4, 6
But the Lord said to me, "Do not fear him; for I have given him and all his people and his land into your hand...and we took all his cities at that time -- 60 cities. And we utterly destroyed them, destroying every city, men, women, and children.

Psalms 137:8
O daughter of babylon, O destroyed One! Blessed is he who will repay to you your reward which you rewarded to us. Blessed is he who seizes and dashes your little ones against the stones.

You know now why we shouldn't follow the Bible to literally? Yeah..thought so. :P

Anyway, that was the next topic in Bo Sanchez's series about changing our image of God. Most of the people I know think our God is like the verses I typed out above. He is a God of wrath. And we follow him out of fear. But you know deep inside you, there is a voice that tells you God isn't like that. But then... why are those things in the Bible?

Well, I learned that we shouldn't just pick one teeny tiny verse and decide that should determine what God really is. I began to understand that the Bible is a JOURNEY of several people who are influenced by their age, and culture, and beliefs. So as you go along reading the Bible, you notice that the next person understands God more, that he's merciful and forgiving and loving. Not just that wrathful being that punishes anyone who'd defy his rules.

Some people are still stuck with that idea. And I actually know some where everything is black and white. If you do something wrong, you're going to hell. Otherwise you go to Heaven. Like five-year-olds. There are some people I know that are so self-righteous, that the word "grace" is alien to them.

What IS grace, anyway? In the dictionary, grace is "unmerited help given to someone by God". And by unmerited, we mean it was given even if that person didn't deserve it. This term "grace" cannot be found in a self-righteous person's vocabulary. You'd find them asking "Lord, why'd you give him a car? Doesn't he cheat?"

Because God loves everyone. No one is excluded from this love, not even the non-Christians. And love is a greater impetus than fear. Even when you muck up everyday, God still loves you..and it's what drives you to please Him more. With fear..you just follow God because you're afraid of the consequences. Love makes you want to do better because you want God to know you accept His love and you're trying to give it back, even if you know compared to His love, yours is...hrm... shmall. But diba, if you know someone loves you and you love them back, you'd want to know what they want to change about you so they'd be happier with you?

Oh, and there's this thing about the Church community being "clique-ish". They feel that this community belongs to them holier-than-though people and go keep the "sinners" outside. And that's just absolutely silly. Jesus said healthy people don't need physicians; Sick people do. So there! The Church should be open to everyone, the sinners,the unbelievers, the people from other religions.

I've had a conversation (more like a debate) with someone concerning religions. He said anyone who do not recieve Christ as his Lord and Saviour would not be saved. I disagreed, 'cause I do not want to believe that the God I was trying to love will exclude 4 billion something people and send them straight to hell because they didn't pray to Him. No... I believe that my image of God is one that welcomes everybody.. no exemptions, no descriminations. I believe every religion reflects the teachings of Jesus and that their intentions are the same as Christ's.. that we'd all learn to love and be merciful. The God I know will not exempt my Muslim friend, or my Hindu friend.. because I know they are great people and I am positive that they will meet God as well.

I can't say I'm mature enough spiritually... but I don't think God is elitista or seloso or permits mass murders (see Babylon). I see God as gentle and loving and just...good. I'm trying my darndest not to turn self-righteous and pointing at random people and tell them if they go to hell or not.

My mother will love me no matter what. If I disappear from her mom-radar for a decade without a word and come back, she'd welcome me with open arms. If I suddenly go stupid and do drugs, she'd still love me. If I got an F from school(heaven forbid), she'd still think I'm a genius. And to think my mom is only a faint reflection of how God loves me.

God loves you, period. No ifs, no buts. And you just can't help loving him back and do stuff for Him, so that's what drives you. That's what gets you to wake up at 8am to go to Church every Sunday or read the Bible, or praying. Not fear.

F:

Your Beauty lies in Contradiction. Controversial, unpredictable, and never what anyone expects.
You appearance and your personality are two opposite things. Even your appearance sends different signals to different people. To some you may look innocent and sweet, to others you look mysterious and intimidating at the same time. No one ever knows what to expect with you. You are a little bit of everything all mixed together. You can be watching the football game with the guys one minute and the next out shopping at the mall. You seem to be almost a different person every time you meet someone, but at the same time you know exactly who you are and there is always that one thing that makes you you. You enjoy keeping people guessing and people love how completely unpredictable you are.

Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;
We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind;

What is it about the Pope that no matter from what culture or religion you are, you just...love him? I mean, okay, so I don't really know this guy personally, but everything he does just inspire people and somehow God's grace just rubs off on everyone he had contact with. And now he's gone.. And, well, I can't help feel so sad about it. Sad that I haven't the chance to see him because to be honest, when I was still against my Church and against God-anything, I really really respect this man. Long before I decided to know more about my faith and learn to love my own religion, the Pope is someone I considered great because of the things he does. Maybe because he embraced everyone... it seemed like didn't matter to him if you're not Catholic or Christian... he loves people.. and I guess that was always how I pictured a true man of God should be. It's easy to love the Pope because he not only TALKS about God, he SHOWS through actions how God loves, how God cares, how God forgives. You know what I mean? His words match his actions.
And I prayed so hard for him last night, and when the news said he died, I felt this sense of loss... like.. a piece of whatever whole I had collected in the past few months of my renewed faith was taken away. I mean..my whole life..he was there.. on TV.. in books, magazines, etc. I never really thought he'd disappear at all. I couldn't imagine the world without this guy. But I can't help feeling that I'm happy for him too... and a little envious that he is about to meet God. I mean... him and God.. hi-fiving 'cause finally His servant is entering the Holy Crib, that other place we strive for. And the Pope is happy now, of course... The happy-like-nothing-here-on-earth kind of happy...

I wonder what the new Pope would be like... Hrm...
But it's interesting to experience this moment where I can witness the end of some era in the Church and the birth of a new one..

I'm praying for the new Pope.
Hope he's cool too.
