I will praise you in the storm: after sendong

I was sure by now
God You would have reached down
And wiped our tears away
Stepped in and saved the day
But once again, I say "Amen", and it's still raining

As the thunder rolls
I barely hear Your whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away

[Chorus:]
And I'll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
And every tear I've cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm

I remember when
I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry to you
And you raised me up again
My strength is almost gone
How can I carry on
If I can't find You

But as the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"
And as Your mercy fallsseek help and healing. 
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away

[Chorus]

I lift my eyes unto the hills
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord
The Maker of Heaven and Earth

Its hard to praise the Lord when our hearts are filled with pain and sorrow and so much grief but then the Lord deserves our praise and worship so we still choose to worship Him. Its a way to reach out to Him in praise and worship, we can cry out to the Lord and seek for healing, comfort and assurance that things will be ok in the end. It has been said in His word that we may suffer but these things will come to an end for weeping stays for a night and in the morning comes rejoicing coz  our hope is in the Lord and no one can take that away from us. Still we choose to praise God in the storm. We choose to cling to Him.

A day of smile

December 11,2011  Was a day of smile. A day of smile to the Badiongon kids, parents and visitors. The days before December 11,2011 were rainy days from monday to saturday. And from monday to saturday I prayed for sunshine and it was an answered prayer. Praise God!, He gave us a sunny and happy day. I was worried coz there was no bigger and covered place where we can have our party but the backyard of one of the houses there, if the rain poured it would be such a lonely christmas party. Thank God also for those who shared their time and blessings to make the party a success, it was something the children will remember for the rest of their lives. It was just something to those who shared, but to the children it was something that made the birth od our saviour special. A day of smile for the parents and the visitors who also laughed and played with us. And the food was a manifestation of God's faithfulness and goodness.

It was for or handicapped brothers and sisters and Im glad through running I was able to share my blessings and also had picture taking with the handicapped brothers. The first time I saw a race with wheelchairs and there was joy in the faces of the racers. I plan to participate in races or fun runs that will be helpful for our less fortunate bothers and sisters.

1st of December

Time swiftly passed me by. It was January then but now the year is about to end and its the first day of December. On this 1st day of december  Im so excited to go home to Cebu and be with family and friends and excited for that holiday rest. 1st day of december makes me think of the days that I think of no  work, no stress and all smiles and Im excited to see my cute nephew Aerhon. 1st day of december reminds me of so many lists to complete, things to plan, people to meet, parties to attend and a lot more. But, the most important person born on this day should not be forgotten, Jesus. Maybe He has been knocking at the door of our hearts long before and this time lets allow Him to enter and be the Lord of our lives. We could be busy with activities and all but Christmas is about the saviour who died at Calvary for our sins. 1st day of december reminds me of the day when I too opened my heart for Jesus and accepted Him as my Lord and saviour. The unfogotten day when tears of joy fell from my eyes and felt God's hands embracing me with so much love and welcome. The day that I felt joy so intense, felt like angels were there also welcoming me.

1st of december brought back the days living of not knowing Him as Lord and saviour, recalled the times just how God prepared me for this meeting Him. It was no accident, all things happened for  a purpose and now we are all like lost sheeps, He is willing to leave all the 99 behind just to find the lost one, coz He wants that no one should perish. And now my hearts' desire is to see friends, relatives, officemates one day when the roll is called up yonder, I hope we all will be there.

1st Unilab Cdo Marathon

the finisher's kit: the unilab bag, unilab water bottle, body scrub sample, moisturizer, water, and energy drink and  common medicines...

my jersey, its cool and soft...love it....

my race number

Its a nice feeling that I now have a new time record for my 5k run, the first 5k run i did it for more than one hour, this year i had 5:48 and now for the unilab run I got 5 minutes earlier the new record is 45:45. Im just as happy as ever. Im thinking of going the higher level to 10k. Wow? Can I do it? That's the question that can be answered by practice, discipline and commitment. I ran last October 16, 2011 for the 35th milo marathon with no proper preparation which caused me to feel body sore all over.  And now I ran again for the 5k and still with no preparation and now also caused me pains all over. Wish I could have a regular running regimen  to really keep me fit to run.Its about time to really have time for everything under the sun, we could never be too busy, we can always set aside work and must have time for rest.

Im using econto template

Yes, Its a yes and again. I say it again I have changed templates.I just dont what came to my mind. I though I was in love with google plus template but now I can say im no longer in love with it.And now imve changed to a new template. I have changed to econto blogger template its nice and loads faster than any template that I have tried.

Why i swicthed to econto blogger template?
1. It loads faster
2. It looks nice and clean
3. its reader freindly
4. it has three columns - i like templates with three columns

5. its perfect with the space on the bottom for footer widgets.
6. the title page on top gives it the nice effect
7. the links that we provide for each word is highlighted and matches the color of the whole template
8. it has pages, unlike other template that uses older posts

The previous template I used was the google plus blogger template was a great template but maybe I felt out of love of that old template, it also loads fast but the econto template is much faster. I love it! Im head over heels in love with it, but well same happened to all the templates that I have tried, I thought i was in love but then I grew tired and weary of the old templates thats why I changed every now and then. It looks good and feels better this time. Hope it would be for good, for keeps.

Let's make Google fall in love

Recently, google updated their system and it affected my pr ranking, went down to 1 from 2 anyways, no big deal to me. I have noticed changes, I used to have a shoutbox but now even if I encoded the html the widget does not appear on my site, I presume thats one of the changes, the shout mix is a way of exchanging  links and maybe have been over used by bloggers and maybe a warning that we should take seriously for google is also serious, if you want to get banned then, the risk is yours.I have here the list to court google, we want google to fall in love with our site:

* avoid flash - they hate flash, most of the users now use ipad or iphone nad it wont show.
* blog often - google gets goosebumps with new posts and its heart beats faster it gets excited makes google happy with the new information. Its not just about blogging per se but we should try to have quality content, it makes google fall in love all the more.I consider myself a trying hard blogger but knowing all these could help us see a bigger picture and do our best in the blogging world. The competition is so immense and if we wan to join the race then, our best efforts should be given.

Im back to google plus template

I kept on changing templates, i dont know. I wanted to try new look, and try to experiment on blog templates, I wanted something new. But I guess im in love head over heels with the google plus blogger template. That's why 'here I am again using it. Nothing compares to this most loved template of mine.
I have reasons why I kept on going back to google plus blogger template:

1. It looks clean and professional - no extra things around, with class with sophistication.
2. It loads fast - I have tried several templates, they look good but the problem is that it loads a little bit slower, readers would have problem in waiting for my page to load.
3. I have no problem with page elements- its easy to add widgets and stuff for my page.
....the problem is that Im having difficult time changing the logo, im still on the process of studying it...im not a techy person and it would take time for me to figure out, \i hope I would be able to do it.

Its time to laugh out loud

We' ve been friends for a long time ago. We come from the same alma mother. Actually, our paths crossed one time on another. But it's only now that I gave him a second look. I realized that beauty is in the eyes. The pulpbits of my heart went fast, really fast. Cute pala siya. And then, he came over with me. He said, "I hope you don't mine. Can I get your number?" Nag-worry ako. What if he doesn't give it back? He explained naman na it's so we could keep intact daw. Sabi ko, "Connect me if I'm wrong, but are you asking me ouch?" "The!?!!??". .. ang sarcastic na sagot nya. Aba! The verb! Parang siya pa ang galit! Persona ingrata!!! Ang kapal niya! I cried buckles of tears. Na-guilty yata siya. Sabi niya, isipin mo na lang na this is a blessing in the sky. Irregardless daw of his feelings, we should go ouch na rin. Now, we're so in love. Mute and epidemic na ang past.

Thanks God we swallowed our fried. Kasi, I'm 33 na and I'm running our time. After 2 weeks, he plopped the question. "Will you marriage me?" I'm in a state of shocked. Kasi mantakin mo, when it rains, it's four! This is true good to be true. So siyempre, I said yes. Love is a many splendor. Pero nung inaayos ko na ang aming kasal, everything swell to pieces. Nag-di-dinner kami noon nang biglang sa harap ng aming table, may babaeng humirit ng, "Well, well, well. Look do we have here." What the fuss! The nerd ng babaeng yon! She said they were still on. So I told her, whatever is that, cut me some slacks! I didn't want this to get our hand kaya I had to sip it in the bud. She accused me of steeling her boyfriend. As is!!! I don't want to portrait the role of the other woman.

Gosh, tell me to the marines! I told her, "Please, mine you own business!" Who would believe her anyway? Dahil it's not my problem anymore but her problem anymore, tumigil na rin siya ng panggugulo. Everything is coming up daisies. I'm so happy. Even my boyfriend said liketwice. He's so supportive. Sabi niya, "Look at is this way. She's our of our lives." Kaya advise ko sa inyo - take the risk. You can never can tell. Just burn the bridge when you get there. Life is shorts. If you make a mistake, we'll just pray for the internal and external repose of your soul. I second emotion...

Guyabano, the miracle fruit

I love guyabano, its best when you shake it, I also enjoy fun of eating it with bare hands, kinda messy but the challenge makes it more yummy. I have learned just now that it can help cancer patients. A housemate ym me and told me about the miraculous fruit. I went straight to the internet and researched about the news and yes, I found lots of information about this seemingly ordinary fruit. That breast cancer patients were healed and there were researches conducted to validate the claims. True enough It was not published due to selfishness of those scientists who conducted the tests, they wanted to gain by replicating the properties but they failed.

I have a cyst on my left breast, about .5cm. Then, last year, the physician found another cyst on my other breast, she said its 5cm. I was really worried and I kept it to myself. I told my aunt about it and she said I could use guyabano leaves. She got leaves for me and she told me to boil it and drink it. I got the leaves and forgot about it, only remembered when I saw it inside my bag already wilted. Now, Im excited and im craving for guyabanos.Have to go home early and go to the market.

Samsung Galaxy Y for P349

 Yes, its true.
A smart plan P349 per month for two years.
Not bad. For me its a great deal.
Almost of the technical group got this new babe. Its really sleek, so techy and savvy and I so wanted to have this for myself but, when I asked if I could upgrade my reloader's number for the plan, they said it was not possible for technical reasons and all. I had  an information that it was possible with globe, you van upgrade or use your prepaid number for the plan. Hmmmm I changed my mind, I would want to keep my old smart number. I ts my first number and I dont feel like changing numbers again and inform them all that this is my new number. Its something I have to think over and over and over again. I had second thoughts and have to contemplate and give myself the time to think about it.
