Life's Lessons - Soul Surfer

-
I had a glimpse of this true story movie on HBO one saturday and I got so curious that I decided to download a copy of the full movie in torrent. When given the chance to take a break and relax the next weekend, I kept the movie rolling.

In synopsis, Soul Surfer is a movie about a girl who lives to surf and serve God. Yup, she is a proud Christian. The story revolves in Bethany Hamilton's journey with the Lord before and after she was attacked by a shark one surfy day. She is a known teenage in Hawaii who is in the peak of her blooming career as a surfer. Bethany and her family's struggle after she lost one of her arms during the shark attack was high lighted in this story.  I was amazed how a Family of Christ-lovers worked together in the movie to surpass a life changing trial of their lives. What moves me the most? When the climax of the story was shown. When she (bethany) and her Church mates went out on an outreach program in Thailand to help out the tsunami victims. I felt the painful realization bethany felt when she realized how small her struggles were compared to those people who actually lost their family in the same waters she lost her arms.  A very inspiring movie that made me confirm that God is an amazing God and He uses amazingly wonderful people, things, circumstances to make us all feel loved and valued.

 All things work together for good to those who love Him (Romans 8:28)

For 4 years, my Alma Matter was and still is the University of Santo Tomas .  There are a lot of reasons to be proud of this University. The Character built within each and every students who enroll in this campus are remarkable and I can say made us, Filipinos proud of our race.  For Centuries (400 years), Catholic catechism has been the basis of the University's teachings. When I took up Fine arts back in 2002, there are less lectures and more on hands-on drawings and labs. This means lesser class hours for Christian living lessons *sigh. Less time, but unforgettable teachings. How can I forget my professor, Mr. Cura? He was 65 years old back then, but still he was teaching. He was a real emblem of PASSION, PATIENCE. He was a real inspiration for everyone whom he shared his life with. Apart from the great teachings and lectures I had with Mr. Cura, the University's annual activities being held like "PASKUHAN" is one of the reasons why I dearly love my Alma Matte

Hope For Haiti now

6 continents, 60 countries, 60 International Networks.. Different people all over the world joined towards one goal and that is to help our Haitian people. Helping from the other side of the world may not have the same impact when you have close encounter with the Haitian victims of the Earthquake that happened last January 12. Thanks to CNN and online streaming, people here in my country were able to keep in touch and it feels like we're not too far at all. I was one of the people tasked to do a brief training to those who volunteered for the telethon organized for hopeforhaitinow. At first, I was hesitant. But setting myself aside, I began thinking of the help, support and motivation I could give to colleagues who are willing to help out to the Haitian community.I was so overwhelmed when I see batches of trainees come and go out of the training room, and then after 30 minutes they were empowered and ready to take in calls. The overall experience was so tiring, it was only n

The Nurse- Edith Shain sure felt butterflies in her tummy back when this lovable soldier gave her a kiss when the World war II ended. This Kiss was supposed to be a sign of love between the two of them, and the  the two of them only. They never imagined that the magic of this kiss will last a century and will be part of our History. Letters to Juliet featured this Historical image when Amanda Seyfried (Sophie) played as a Fact finder and researcher for a prominent Paper in New york. She was a hopeless romantic girl who was engaged to someone she's not sure if she's in love with. They went to Verona, Italy to rekindle the love they had for each other only to find out that the love of her life now is not the one she ever wanted in the first place. Sophie bumped into a group of writers  named "secretaries of Juliet" who writes and answers letters written for Juliet from women all over the world who were seeking for answers regarding matters of the heart. She particip
