127 hours.

There's a point in our lives where we always find ourselves reckless. Usually, with our decisions. And we accept the fact that the things that are new to us are fun and that we'll surely enjoy without having a better understanding or simply by taking risk. I, myself, loves adventures. But it never came to me the idea on how wild I might become with the things I wanted to do. So I choose not to, especially when my parents said no to whatever I wanted to pursue. One thing that made me go see this movie was it's a true story. I always go for a movie like this one.

Aron Ralston, an American mountain climber one day just left the house without letting anybody know where he's gonna be headed to. He did canyoneering in Utah, met two girls and made friends and left them after leading them to where they're going. Now while Aron (James Franco) is on his way to his destination, he find himself trapped by a boulder because of a sudden fall. With such bravery, realizing that he doesn't want to end his life that way, he made a sacrifice by amputating his lower right arm to free himself. And indeed, he is a hero for himself. And that greatly inspired me. That it's in those moments where you would have to make a decision for your life. A decision that would change everything. But in the end, he did not give up. He even had premonitions that became real at the latter part of his life.

When I first heard of this movie, I really got excited about it. And in fact, I was inspired to go try hiking sometimes. Like I said, I've always loved adventures! And as I see my life like a journey, I will always wish to try things that I haven't done before. Such curiosity that would bring me to the next level of my journey in life. Again, another extraordinary movie. This shouldn't be missed! And I swear, it's better to see this on big screen. Really worth it. And I would like to end this blog entry with a quote I got from it's movie trailer, not sure who quoted it but it's really really true. "There is no force on earth more powerful than the will to live."

The prayer of the gimper named JABEZ (read 1 Chronicles 4:9-10)

Hey guys! Thanks you so much for reading this post that I have just recently posted. I would really appreciate if you'll leave some comments. Thanks. I know, for some of you, or most of the Christians are familiar with this man named Jabez. And He's a gimper. What do we mean by gimper anyway? A gimper according to Seume was someone who always does a little more than what's required or expected. Are we like that? Do we always do the extra mile in everything we do? Or just do things plain and simple. And then that's the end of it? Our mind is always preoccupied on reaching success. But in the life of this man named Jabez. He did something in life that is really extraordinary that made God answer his prayer. If we will try to look back in the history, names does have its own meaning. And in that time where names are meaningful which greatly reflects who you are. (as what they used to say) The name Jabez, means "pain." Now, what are you thinking of right now?...

The book called.. THE SECRET

I wonder why I have this book. In the first place, it wasn't mine. I only borrowed it from a friend of mine who is also interested on reading the book. Actually, the manner that I had when I borrowed the book isn't that really okay. But because of the kindness that my friend had shown to me, I took advantage of it. Haha! I really forced her to lend me the book even if she wasn't yet finished reading it. But what I'm wondering is that, why am I so excited to read this book even if I had no idea at all what the book is all about. Is it because of the title of book that gives me an impression that indeed it was really an interesting book to read at. The book was called THE SECRET. The first time I glanced the book, it was like a tickle of mystery that I felt. Then, right at the moment when the book was introduced to me, I just borrowed it. And this friend of mine agreed. The first time I read the book, I thought that there is nothing wrong with it, but soon as I dig deep i...

GLOBAL VILLAGE

What comes first into your mind when you hear something about GLOBAL VILLAGE? I know this may sound new to you for those who's unfamiliar. But let the Merriam-Webster dictionary define Global Village. Global Village - the world viewed as a community in which distance and isolation have been dramatically reduced by electronic media (as television and the Internet). And for other definition, Global Village means, it's the entire world and its inhabitants. Now, why do I come up with this kind of topic. What's the connection of this compound word in our lives as a Filipino individual? Read on to find out. Very interesting. We have just recently celebrated our church's 25th Anniversary. And coincidently, that was the theme of our church anniversary. It was quite very interesting because Global Village really is a technical term for this digital world. But if we will try to look it in another perspective, in a basic understanding, look at it literally. GLOBAL.. and then VILLA...
