The Tree of Life


Terrence Malicks works would probably one of the brilliant masterpiece when it comes to a movie like this. To some, they may thought of it as something creative or a work of art. To some it could be something boring. As I watch the movie, the first thing that came in to my mind was a question, "Is this another movie that speaks about what we believe in?" What I love with these kinds of movies is that it makes me think. I love movies that would make me think. And it's quite a challenge because it wouldn't be easy for you to digest a 2 hour and 18 minute movie when all you see was sci-fi and surrealist themes and imagery through space and the birth of life on Earth on the most part of the movie. But it was amazing! I've always been fascinated by space and nature. The movie somehow made me realize that it is impossible to not even think that there'd be no divine intervention with all these creations which is what made the story really moving. I am not going to share everything about the movie with this post but I highly recommend thihs movie. Bring your family! I believe this is the best part for your kids to start having this sensible conversation with regard to how we should live our lives. With how powerful love could be and with our existence, there's a God up there who sees everything. And not only up there, but in our hearts.

This is a movie that shouldn't be missed. It may seem simple but the message it has to every individual would be really powerful. One of my favorite lines in the movie was quoted by Mrs. O'Brien, "The only way to be happy is to love. Unless you love, your life will flash by." I really loved that part. So to those who hasn't seen it yet, go get some time and be with your families when you see this. I'd say this is the perfect gift for your Father's. I know this is too late but I wanna greet all the Fathers out there, a Happy Father's Day! Thank you for the time my fellow blog readers.

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...
