STOP COMPARING!

We live in a world where merit is important. In school, our intelligence is measure by our grades. In extra-curricular activities, the one who has more talents will get the better role. In some families, children are being compared with one another.

Unfortunately, we tend to carry his mindset even in our work for the Lord and in our striving to be holy. We have a tendency to measure against other people how much we are doing and what we are giving for God. Sometimes, we unconsciously choose to be with people we believe inferior to us so that we are assured of the spotlight. We prefer to be praised than to give praise. In so doing, we are missing the point that we should only compare ourselves to our Lord Jesus Christ. How he had lived his life on earth in perfect obedience to our father in heaven should be our one point of measurement.

Do you compare yourself with others just affirm that you are good?

BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME!

In line with the Miss Universe Pageant that was held last September 12, 2011 in Brazil, I must say that the result was just clear-cut. For me, Angola got the best answer and she deserves to be called Miss Universe. 

 I am Filipino, yet I can say Supsup’s answer was not in reality. I don’t think you will refuse or not to marry the person you love just because of the RELIGION. It seems she was just like being hypocrite on what she had answered.  As we all know, Religion can’t save you! Only your faith; Strong and pure faith that unite between YOU and GOD will save you.

But nevertheless, I still respect Miss Shamcey’s answer. I am also proud with what shamcey had done but this is a competition and should accept what had turned out. In the first place, the world rather the universe sees that we Filipinos are really beautiful and wise.

BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME! ^_^

Shamcey Supsup still a winner for Pinoys

Guest Post by: Mimi's Friends

Before the pageant starts, well, more Filipinos are excited to see and witness how our pride will bestow her ability, her intelligence, her stunning beauty and grace.

Filipinos posed for a while, gazed and focused on the television just to watch Miss Univerese 2011 and praying for Miss Shamcey’s success.

Shamcey Supsup may not have taken the vague international beauty title but to a lot of Filipinos, she still is a true winner.

Shamcey Supsup, who was described as having a "mega-watt smile" during the pageant also placed second in the competition's online ranking for the evening gown. Out of 89 candidates, Supsup, 25, placed third runner-up in the Miss Universe 2011 pageant held in Sao Paolo, Brazil. Shamcey is the lone candidate who did not seek the help of an interpreter during the final Q& A.

Question: Would you change your religious beliefs to marry the person you love? Why or why not?

Miss Philippines - Shamcey Supsup Answer: If I had to change my religious beliefs, I would not marry the person that I love because the first person that I love is God who created me and I have my faith and my principles and this is what makes me who I am. And if that person loves me, he should love my God too.

-She made a good answer! -

In a Yahoo! Philippines OMG! Poll, majority of the respondents believed Supsup would make it.

Presidential spokesman Edwin Lacierda said in a statement. "In our eyes, that is the true victory today—that the world stood witness to and found an appreciation for the ideals, values, and beauty that has long characterized our nation," 

- OPRAH on NBC few hours ago: "If the only basis is the Q and A portion, after having been trimmed down to 5, Ms. Philippines deserved to win. What made her different from the rest is that she had no seconds to rethink of her answer as she had no interpreter to break the ice. The rest had their interpreters and having breaks on seconds to think about their answers. Ms. Philippines answered straight to the point."-

MAXIMA AQUA FUN

I heard lots of positive feedback in this resort. It really tickles my feet to get there. So when I got a time, I instantly went to MAXIMA AQUA FUN RESORT. Here we coooome!!

Maxima Aqua Fun Resort is the finest place for fun slides beaches. It doesn't have shore like other beaches do. So must have a life vest provided by the management. It has a bluff on the edge with two giant slides that extend towards the water. You can also get in to snorkeling and have an exciting view of their prodigious corals and fishes that’s totally inviting and learn more of the wonders of underwater world. If you want to try a boat ride, you can cherry-pick from Banana boating or kayaking. And if you want wild and extreme try their Jets Ki ride; certainly, it would really be amusing for you and your friends. Also enjoy their Canopy Walk, a must try thing and be ready to walk in a wobbly and trembling bridge until you ended it to other side.

Canopy walk

The giant slide

I have tried their 4o meters giant slide and screamed out loud! Whew! Shaking at first but later on it was challenging.  It was an exciting slide I've tried EVER!!

 

 

I made it!!

I LIKE YOU! JUST THE WAY YOU ARE...

Ate Loi, 

I like it when you encourage and lift me up when I feel someone is trying to ruin our joyful and harmonious relationship. I like it when you enlighten my mind and cheer me up when I'm in pain. I like it when you give your full support when we needed it. I like it when you treat us when we are with you. I like it when you say you’re always there for us. I like you, just the way you are.

Ate Iris,

I like it when you call and greet us with your lovely smile. I like it when you teach me how to make healthy foods for Baby Drake. I like it when we talk about our husband. I like it when you show some dresses you bought for me. I like it when you give the BEST marriage advice to us. I like you, just the way you are.

The UNFAIR, The USER, and The GOOD

I don’t understand why some people don’t distinguish the virtue of others. Those who lend their help, those who give value, and those who show concerns are those who don’t appreciate much by the concerned-person! And those people that I can really see that they are just using person to make money and to raise their life even they hurt and ruin people’s life are well-recognized!

Sometimes, Life is so unfair! Or we may call it some people are Unfair! I just can’t imagine that I knew some people who seem like this. With just one hurtful word of this GOOD person, all is gone! (I knew that he did it because he doesn’t want to see people get hurt as well. He only defends that person) Now, That unfair person forgot everything the good deeds of this KIND MAN. Thinking that all he did for this UNFAIR PERSON was a help without any exchange. I hate it!

I have realized, maybe the UNFAIR PERSON more valued the USER PERSON than to the KIND PERSON ‘cause they have the same vices and they love to chat, drink, and laugh(NON-SENSE!). Though he sees the greedy moves of this user!
