For the Greater Good

St. Lorenzo Ruiz: "That I shall never do, because I am a Christian and I shall die for God, and for Him I will give many thousands of lives if I had them. And so do with me as you will please." I heard this one on TV while Father  Mario of Healing Mass had his homily. He talked about King Solomon and his request to God and about the story of St. Lorenzo Ruiz. It caught my attention about King Solomon requested something to God. God can offer anything that you desire but this is what King Solomon said to the Lord: “I am but a small child ... Give therefore your servant an understanding heart to judge your people…”  God's response:   “Because you have not requested riches and honor but only that which would benefit all the people, I will give you not only an understanding heart like none other before or after you ... but also riches and honor like no other king in your days.” (1 Kings 3:7-13)  King Solomon died at the age of 52 and ruled f...

Whisper of the Heart

Whisper of the Heart   is a classic film from Studio Ghibli -ek,yah I'm addicted to animated films especially Studio Ghibli *big grin*. The Japanese title of the film is  Mimi wo Sumaseba which  means "if you listen closely". Hayao Miyazaki wrote the screenplay of the film. This is a story of Shizuku Tsukishima a junior high school girl who loves to read books. She loves hanging out in the library - yay! I remember my high school days; I used to hang out in the library after lunch just to read fiction books. Okay back to Shizuku, she eventually noticed that all the books she was reading had been checked out by someone named Seiji Amasawa. One day Shizuku left her book at school when she was talking to a friend, she hurriedly went back and she saw someone reading the book. It was a guy and of course the guy is Seiji but she didn’t catch the name of the guy. She was irritated when the guy commented on the lyrics – she clipped the paper inside the book ...

Ever wonder why Quintilis? Well it's the Latin word of July, the 7th month of the year. Nahh I just have no idea what would be the title to this post so I decided to name it JULY in LATIN. haha! My first of July. I had super fun. It's Saturday and we had again our Health and Fitness. It was fun thinking that for the longest time, we have to make a paper plane!! - for our team building activity. "C an we pretend that paper planes, In the night sky like shooting stars, I could really use a wish right now (wish right now, wish right now) "  ♪   ♫   ♪  as my friend sheena sings it. hehe.   Anyway, I already forgot how to make one so Jessie here helped me out. haha! Actually, I made one with the help again from Karen but it wasn't a good one so Jessie makes some improvements. hehe. Oh no!! I forgot that paper plane thingy, all I remember is how to make a boat and a trash can out of paper, ba? Not bad after all. haha! ...

That's What I Am

 I'm a Teacher. I'm a Singer. I'm a Writer. That's What I Am is a story about a Teacher, a Singer and a writer. Frankly, at first I never thought this movie was great.  I decided to watch this one since it has a 6.9 out of 10 ratings in IMDB.  The setting was in early 1960's where a young man named Andy still adjusting himself in the phase of puberty and his favorite English  teacher Mr. Simon a dedicated educator who shares valuable lessons to his students in the course of the movie.  On the other hand there’s a boy named Stanley who has a passion for singing; he’s a quiet young boy and one of the smart students in the campus.  Stanley labeled Big G in the campus which means Ginger since he has an orange hair and his ears are just too big for his head. He’s the target of bully and mockery in the campus. One day in Mr. Simon’s class Andy was paired to Big G for their final project. As much as possible Andy avoids conflict at school but he ...

Live at peace with everyone

https://www.flickr.com/photos/lifesongsradio/16704740095 As much as possible I want to live at peace with everyone, live at peace with the world, embracing all the goodness the world offers.  I don’t want to look back but my past molded me to become a better person. Nobody can ever tell that I’ve been through rough times when I was still a kid. I think it’s a trauma but that doesn’t give me any reason to be negative about my views in life.  God opened a new window to me, He knows I’ve been through a lot and He doesn’t want me to suffer. The people in my life are not perfect neither myself. I have relationship war with my siblings when I was still young. But I know how to distance myself from not getting into that kind of situation again. It was hard to be at a constant war with your siblings. It was a blessing for me to find God. He’s a good listener, I cried a lot every time I talked to him all about my worries and sentiments, and I’m not like that with anyone else, ...

Mighty bond is a bonding agent that substantially improves adhesion.  I used mighty bond while I was fixing something and the acrylic liquid runs through my hands. I have this dilemma removing the freaking mighty bond in my hands and I really hate it much. I Googled for the best way to remove this adhesive stuff on my skin as it really getting on my nerves!  Materials needed: Petroleum jelly Nail File Okay, first things first, I washed my hands with warm soapy water since the substance has begun to harden on my skin. I applied petroleum jelly to my hands and use the nail file and rubbed it on my skin to get it off quickly.  Do it slowly but surely. No need to rush or else you’ll get hurt. That’s it!! I’m happy my hands are flawless again lol. So if you got into sticky problem, try to follow my simple solution. I assure you, it’s a no brainer.     waaaaaa..i'm super relieved.
