Jessica Sanchez... Filipino Pride!

{EAV:f93b664b01895cb3}

Jessica received a standing ovation tonight for her rendition of Billy Joel's "Everybody Has A Dream". I never heard of that song as most of the songs tonight except "My Life" interpreted by Heejun Han. He is one of my favorites too but Steven Tyler is probably right when he said, "Sometimes you gotta be a bit more serious". I hope he listens to the judges.

Back to Jessica Sanchez, her performance tonight made me believe again that she can go all the way to the top. I liked it so much that I quickly looked up the song "Everybody Has A Dream" during the commercial break.

Keeping my fingers crossed that she continues to choose great songs like that.

EJ's First Holy Communion

Ah look how angelic and handsome my little boy is! Takes after his mother, don't you agree?

My First Holy Communion, Sacred Heart (Kamuning, Quezon City)

Arrgh my hair was hideous! Who cut my hair like that?! Oh wait, it's my mother dear. I'm glad that I have kept this photo. I must admit too that my son is a much better version of me. Thank goodness he doesn't look like me, otherwise he will be teased like I was teased before and called names by other kids who think of themselves as better looking (which I ignored and just buried my face into my books). EJ takes after his Dad and I'm grateful for that.

EJ's first Holy Communion was at the National Shrine of the Divine Child, La Salle Green Hills, 7th of December 2011. I know it's been 3 months (and it's not the only batch I haven't edited yet) but took me ages to edit and resize these images. Here are some of them:

In Her Own Words - Molly from Nairobi, Kenya

Blogger Against Hunger

Dear readers,

Hi, I’m Molly. I think you’ve probably seen some of the videos I’ve shared from my home and school in Nairobi Kenya.

Someone recently asked me if I knew that I was inspiring people around the world. Honestly, I hadn't thought of it before, but if people enjoy my story, I'm happy to share it!

If anything can come from these videos, I hope that more girls like me get a free WFP lunch at school. I know that if I didn’t receive a school meal every day, I would be hungry and wouldn't be able to concentrate in class.

Will you help WFP give school meals to another girl or boy like me?

www.wfpusa.org/molly
The meals we get in school don't just help us concentrate, they also encourage more children -- especially girls -- to come to school. Some parents have a hard time giving their kids a lunch every day, so the help WFP provides is really important.

My classmates and I know that by going to school, we are working towards a better future. We know that no matter what else happens that day, we'll have a good lunch waiting for us at school.

By supporting WFP, you can help another child like me receive meals at school. I bet lots of others will like school as much as I do then!

I love learning in school. When I get home from school, I even help teach my little cousin to write his name and learn his numbers.

Because of kind people like you, I’m working hard to make a better life for myself and for my family.

Thank you!

Molly
Nairobi, Kenya

The Secret: Changing Nature of Energy Gives Us Life

Did you know that if your life was not changing, you would not exist?
Our Universe and everything in it is continually changing, because our Universe is made of energy.
Energy can exist only if it is in motion and changing. If energy stopped being in motion, our entire Universe and all Life would vanish.

Our lives are also energy, and therefore they too must always be in motion and continue to change.
You cannot stop the motion and change in your life, and nor would you want to.

The changing nature of energy gives us Life. It causes Life to grow and causes us to grow.

Therefore, we must embrace the changes in our lives as they happen. Yes, it can be difficult to accept changes in our lives especially if we got used to certain routines. However, there's nothing we can do to stop the continuous motion and change in our lives. After all, who are we to stop or manipulate changes? Don't you agree?
