The best job in the world

I read article online a few months back about the best job in the world. It entices the person to apply because of its "simple" job description.

The "island caretaker" will be expected to stroll the white sands, soak up the sun, snorkel the reef, "maybe clean the pool" -- and report to a global audience via weekly blogs, photo diaries and video updates.

Simple, "write"?

I totally forgot about it, and just recently they picked out the guy with the best job in the world.

"Ben Southall, 34, beat nearly 35,000 applicants from around the world for the dream, assignment to swim, to explore and relax, on Hamilton Island in the Great Barrier Reef, for six months while writing a blog to promote the area."

Lucky man.

Im just amazed.

A place of fellowship

Im currently at UP Sunken garden with honey, eliel, joni and ate joy. We are having our monthly fellowship. Its a nice place. I always wanted to just stay here and just sit back, watch the people, cars, trees and the sky. Haay, so happy to be here.

Neverfails

Two days ago, our Global IT sent an email about a Mail Exchange Schedule Maintenance. Its something that i always delete whenever i received one coz, i just dont care. Haha! I dont know why, but for this particular email, i took the time to read it and i find it so amusing that there is a system that is named Neverfails.

The problem: There will be a short outage in our mail system. The Solution: Neverfails - a system that allows automatic routing to other mail systems.

That is the for the technology, for the internet world, for the online universe.

What is for our own reality? It there such system that allows automatic routing of problems?

YES. There is.

The problem: "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." - Romans 3:23 The solution: "For God so love the world that He gave his only Son, that who ever believes in him will not perish but have eternal life." - John 3:16
This solution applies to our daily lives. We are sinners. We need God. We need Jesus.

Why I hate and love JOLLIBEE at the same time

I’m on a 1-10pm shift this week, I eat before I go to the office and for my merienda I buy something at gateway or cubao, as I pass there everyday. Yesterday, my taste buds craved for Jolly Hotdog sandwich. Luckily, I will pass by Jollibee Farmers, so no hassle there ( I thought) so at around lunch time I bought 1 jolly hotdog sandwich and left.
I didn’t open the sandwich until 730pm, when my tummy called for it. As I open the styro, the melted cheese and ketchup greeted me. I was actually considering of heating it, when suddenly something caught my eye. The picture below shows what is tattoed on my jolly hotdog bread.



Yes, its mold. Sabi ni Khaye, “kung ayaw mo ako nalang kakain” Sabi ko naman isa lang naman at maliit so kakainin ko nalang kesa si khaye kumain, walang pupuntahan pag iinarte ko – gutom lang. Haha. BUT! Wait there’s more! When I was about to remove the molded part, there I see.. a twin of the mold. Magkalayo sila ng onti, theyr like “kambal sa Uma” haha!



After I saw the kambal sa tinapay ko, I decided that its payback time. I will not tolerate such uncleanliness, sure thing hindi nakakamatay ang molds when you eat it but given the health problems that we are facing right now I wouldn’t want to risk it. I went back to Jollibee Farmers, its two lrt station away from my office. Kung kasi after shift ko eh hindi ko na ito maabutan pang bukas, so I spent 24p for that. When I arrived at Jollibee, my first few words were, “Sinong manager on duty niyo?” (Mejo not-so-friendly-tone yan) pero ayoko rin naman kasi magmaganda, so when the manager faced me I told him that I will be returning the product that I bought that afternoon. He went inside inspected it then went back to me and apologize. He told me that they were not able to check the bread, its kahapon pa daw, but the bread they have that moment eh bago na daw lahat. I asked him, “so you’re always giving bread na hindi fresh?” to which he contested, “No mam, hindi lang po naman na check. Sorry po.” I asked, “So, ibabalik niyo ba yung payment ko or papalitan niyo nalang?” Sabi naman ni manager eh, “kayo po bahala, pili nalang po kayo ng iba or ibabalik po naming bayad.” Sabi ko naman, “hindi nalang, nawalan na ako ng gana. Pero bibili pa din ako kasi may nagpapabili sa akin.” Manager, “sige po mam pili lang po kayo.” Actually may gana pa ako at gutom na gutom pa din, buti nalang at di niya narinig na nagrumble ang tiyan ko. So I gave him my order and upuan na ako dahil sabi naman niya eh ibibigay niya nalang sa akin. After a few minutes dumating na siya dala ang take out ko, 1 ice craze, 1 large fries, and 1 spaghetti, to which I asked, “ magkano po lahat?” sabay abot ng bayad. Sabi naman ni manager, “ay sige po mam, wag niyo na pong bayaran.” Sabay tingin sa take out, “ay sabi ko 2 large fries.” Manager, “ ay dalawa po ba saglit lang po”
Pagdating ng isa pang large fries, inabot ko ulit ang bayad, at umiling ulit siya. I asked, “sure ka?” manager, “yes po mam, pasensya na po ha.” Sabi ko naman, “okay, thank you” sabay alis dahil baka magbago pa isip niya. Haha!
So ayun. I hate and love Jollibee at the same time. My 42p Jolly Hotdog was replaced by 1 large fries and 1 jolly spaghetti =)

HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE - Worldwide Main Trailer and New Banners

Warner Bros. Pictures has released the latest trailer for the next Harry Potter film, HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE, starring Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson and Jim Broadbent. Together with the latest trailer also comes the unveiling of the four latest banner artworks which features Harry and Professor Dumbledore, Hermione and Professor Slughorn, Ron and Ginny, and Draco and Professor Snape.

Voldemort is tightening his grip on both the Muggle and wizarding worlds and Hogwarts is no longer the safe haven it once was. Harry suspects that dangers may even lie within the castle, but Dumbledore is more intent upon preparing him for the final battle that he knows is fast approaching. Together they work to find the key to unlock Voldemort's defenses and, to this end, Dumbledore recruits his old friend and colleague, the well-connected and unsuspecting bon vivant Professor Horace Slughorn, whom he believes holds crucial information. Meanwhile, the students are under attack from a very different adversary as teenage hormones rage across the ramparts. Harry finds himself more and more drawn to Ginny, but so is Dean Thomas. And Lavender Brown has decided that Ron is the one for her, only she hadn’t counted on Romilda Vane's chocolates! And then there's Hermione, simpering with jealously but determined not to show her feelings. As romance blossoms, one student remains aloof. He is determined to make his mark, albeit a dark one. Love is in the air, but tragedy lies ahead and Hogwarts may never be the same again.

HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE will be released nationwide across the Philippines on July 16th, by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.

Why worry when you can pray?

Thanks for the reminder Hon!

More Hours in my Day

The moment i read the title from the OMFlit Newsletter, i instantly knew this book is for me.

From my blog awhile ago, i did mention the word busy a lot of times. I don't actually know a person that's not busy, almost everybody is. From waking up to preparing for work, to daily rituals, to work, to personal life, to church life, to social life and all kinds of extra curricular activities.. almost everybody has a single thing to do every minute of their lives.

As i read on thru what this book is all about, i learned that i need to be organized not only with my things but also with my life. Being an OC person, i feel betrayed that i am organized with my things and not with my life, haha! A friend once told me that i do not need to learn time management, i need be an expert on activity management, coz its what i need the most. (that was after sharing to her all my burdens, from work, church, ministry, family and personal life) and eversince then i never forgot what she said.

I cant wait to get my hands on this book.

Happy Reading

Angel

Once upon a time there were two Angels..They're a very happy couple. They love each other so much.






But there are some things that got in the way and things that they couldn't control.. there was no other choice but to part ways.. that situation alert everybody and the news spread like fire..





But God is good and what He wants to happen, really happen. The two Angels believed that they are really meant for each other and eventhough they are apart they still think of each other and wish each other's safety. God blessed them ONE MORE CHANCE and now they are back in each other's arms again.. still in love and will forever be..

PS: I Love You!

Happy New Year

Dear Lord,
In the new year, we pray
that You will guide us each new day
in paths that are pleasing to You.
Lord, the new year gives us another chance
to rededicate our lives to You,
to study Your Word
so that we know right from wrong
and to act in accordance with Your commands.
Thank you for the sense of
direction, purpose and peace we get
from aligning our lives with Your Holy will.
We pray for the strength and the will to obey You
each and every day of the new year,
and when we fail, we pray for Your mercy,
Your compassion, Your grace and Your love.
Help us in the new year to be your faithful servants.
In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
