Blinds

Julie Labitag — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 02:52:26 +0000

One of the things that can make a house or any establishments look classy, comfortable and beautiful are the decorations, and accessories being furnished to it. For example, blinds can make a house look comfortable depending on its design and color. Blinds come in different color, size and design that would match the window and house decor, it has horizontal and vertical design, color which includes natural color of wood, white, blue, cream, and from small to large size too. In choosing blinds, be careful that you consider its durability as well as its price.

Entertainment Centers

One of the entertainment centers/establishments where I would like to go back is Centerstage, it is a videoke center which rents out a room which can accomodate 10 persons. The group can stay for 3 hours, and the room comes with videoke and food. The facility is quite modern that the TV that it uses is flat and mounted to a wall and the sound system is great. Whenever my friends and I go to that entertainment center, we feel as if our voices become singing/golden voice. The facility it uses must have magic!

SHINE lyrics by Matt Redman

Julie Labitag — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 20:31:54 +0000

I love the song SHINE by Matt Redman. As Christians, I agree with the songs that we should live for God’s glory and not our’s. We our destined to be great because God is with us and we have His favor. See the lyrics of the song below:

Lord we have seen the rising sun, awakening the early dawn,
And we´re rising up to give you praise.
Lord we have seen the stars and moon, see how they shine,
They shine for you,
And You´re calling us to do the same.
So we rise up with a song, and we rise up with a cry
And we´re giving you our lives.

We will shine like stars in the universe,
Holding out Your truth in the darkest place.
We´ll be living for Your glory,
Jesus we´ll be living for Your glory.
We will burn so bright with Your praise O God,
And declare Your light to this broken world.
We´ll be living for Your glory,
Jesus we´ll be living for Your glory.

Like the sun so radiantly
Sending light for all to see,
Let your holy church arise
Exploding into life,
Like a supernova´s light,
Set your holy church on fire;
We will shine.

Receipts

During times like this when economy is not good, being frugal and wise is important in shopping. One of the things that I find being wise is using my card when shopping because it gives me points which when accumulated could be exchanged with items and freebies from the credit card company. Some credit card companies make partnership with restaurants/fast food chains which would give free cake, pizza, lunch,etc when you spend a certain amount. You just need to present the printed reciept to the partner establishment to claim the freebies. Receipts that are being printed are very detailed that it shows the card number, amount and swipe machine provider. Printer companies which manufactured reciept printers are quite brilliant such as epson receipt printer, cannon receipt printer, etc. Such inventions are awesome.

Is it the thought that counts?

Julie Labitag — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 02:41:04 +0000

Sometimes thought counts but sometimes it does not. Once needs to know that you are really sincere about thinking of him/her on a special occasion and most of the time personalized gifts work! Gift does not need to be expensive, it needs to be memorable, what counts is the thought that the person made an effort to remember and acted upon it by giving something on a special day, right? Remember the saying, action speaks louder than words…

Laptop or netbook?

Julie Labitag — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 20:44:23 +0000

It took me a long time to decide whether I’d buy laptop or netbook. I considered many factors such as functions, RAM and memory capacity, processor, brand, weight, freebies, durability, etc. Netbooks are quite attractive because they come in small sizes which you can put in any regular bag and carry wherever you want to, it is lightweight, low cost and can be used to browse email, web, instant message or access files. Netbooks also comes in sleek design. However, it does not offer the full function of a laptop. One needs to buy external hard drive so that DVD can be played or burned. You can either choose laptop or netbook depending on its purpose.

Are you in pain?

Julie Labitag — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 20:14:56 +0000

As I was readign an old book, topic on pain caught my attention. The book was telling that pain is actually a good indicator which tells the person that something is not in its perfect condition or aperson is not in state of wellness and it means something needs to be done so that damage will not progress. I believe it is applicable not only to the physiological aspect of our body but to the emotion as well. All of us have experienced pain at some point in our life. Let me tell you this – pain is an opportunity for us to be overcomer! So the next time that you feel pain, do something about it, don’t let it defeat you or it will destroy you. Make it an opportunity to be a victor and overcomer.

Congratulations, Reggie Cordial!

Sleeping Well

Julie Labitag — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 05:58:36 +0000

Sleep is one of the physiological needs of human in order to survive. Adults need 6-8 hours and children need 8-10 hours sleep everyday. Getting sufficient sleep is needed so that body can rest and repair itself to function to its optimum level. Based on circadian rhythm of the body, the best time to sleep is from 10PM onwards and the body would feel fully rested unlike if sleeping is spent on different hours like from dawn til noon.

How does one get restful sleep? It can be achieved by sleeping in a quiet and cool room, free of allergen/ allergy bedding, creating a daily sleeping pattern e.g. the time when you usually sleep, deciding the length of sleep that you would have everyday. Comfortable bed counts too! A friend commented that “sleeping with someone you love also makes for good sleep..perhaps not always restful but certainly lovely when you wake in the morning…”

Nice preaching today

Psalm 92:12-13 (New International Version)

¹² The righteous will flourish like a palm tree,
they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon;

¹³ planted in the house of the LORD,
they will flourish in the courts of our God.

5 Lessons from PALM TREE

1. It is deeply rooted, so it is not easily uprooted.
The depth of your your love to God and your loved ones depends on how deeply you are rooted to God’s word. Have the right root and foundation. Choose the word of God to be your foundation.

2. You can cut a palm tree but you can’t kill it.
In life, it’s up to us to be affected by circumstance around us. Nothing would affect us without our permission!

3. The palm tree will bend but it will never break.
Storms in life are sure to come and God’s word is the truth…much more than your circumstances. Have faith and believe in His promises. You are made to outlast the storm.

4. The fruit of the palm tree is preserved.

5. Cold will kill a palm tree.
Do you still feel the warmth of your love to God or you’re getting cold? Coldness will kill any relationship, so keep it warm and hot.

We are destined to be victorious! Jeremiah 29: 11 – For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
