Day 17. A picture of the cast of your favorite movie.

Alex Kendrick from Facing the Giants.

The 'discovery' of this movie was rather an accident. Little did I know this movie will change my life, will help me get through when i faced one of my life's greatest challenges. I was looking for a movie I could not recall the title. What I only remembered was it's a movie about American football. Swear I was really about to change the disc since the first part of the movie was really boring (I have no clue what the movie was all about except that it's also about football). I guess it was a divine intervention that I just got tired getting up and turning my player off. I ended up reluctantly watching the film--only during the first 15mins or so though.

Later, I haven't realized my tears have been flowing down my cheeks. It's as if my tear ducts have their own life whose existence is only dedicated to flowing and crying.

I felt that I was of the students in the film who are living just for themselves. I was thankful because I came to believe it has been a tool for me to overcome the challenge that was yet to come.

I was expecting to graduate as com laude. I was so confident about it that when I have discovered my grades went short, I thought my world shattered. (I know it's a bit exaggerated but what does a graduating college student worry about? It's really more about graduating with honor). I just got 1.77. I was so disappointed, so upset, so discouraged about how things went.

Then I recalled one of the lines from the movie, I began crying I thought for a moment would never stop.

Revelations 3:7

To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write:

These are the words of Him who is holy and true. What He opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open.

I don't know if I just used this verse as a scapegoat for my failure to do the best that I can--I know I could have done better should I had been more diligent.

I don't know if you see sense in what I am sharing but this has really helped me get through that time. Indeed, for the times of despair and disappointment it's God's strength which keeps us standing.

Day 16. A picture of your favorite food.

It's rather weird I had hard time thinking/recalling what my favorite food is. I think since they're soooo plenty I could not think of one--very ironic. So this is the first that came to my mind after 5 minutes, PORK STEAK.

I asked help from Philip and his answers amused me:

Nilaga
Bulad + suka
Not pizza
Rice, lots of rice
KFC


Super true.♥♥♥

Day 15. A picture of the cast of your favorite show.

It's Nina Dobrev.

She's the lead actress in the TV series The Vampire Diaries. Obviously it's my favorite series. I can't wait for the next episode this February. :)

Day 14. A picture of a flower.

Even before I already like white roses. For me it symbolizes purity. Now, I have more reasons to like it even more as it brings sweet thoughts. I don't think there's a need to elaborate this. Should there be any, I leave it to your imagination. :)


(This is not the actual picture--too bad I didn't have the chance to take a shot of it, but since this photo is from the same shop, I think it'll do.)


Love.  ♥♥♥

Day 13. A picture of your oldest friend.

Was really undecided whose picture to post for today, not to mention I am confused about the title. It can either be my oldest friend like a friend that has lived in the earth for the longest period or my friend for the longest time. If it's gonna be the first, who shall I consider? My mom? My dad? My grannies? My friends I consider ates and kuyas? If it's gonna be the latter, then it will be my elementary or even kindergarten classmates--I cannot post a whole class here, can I? 

Then I realized the best One who will qualify both as an oldest friend for the longest time will always gonna be Him.

Been there even before I was born, been always there guiding and planning the best for me, has always been the best Provider, has always been the very reason that makes me enjoy life more and be grateful about my existence.

Thank You for not just being a great Father but for being a wonderful Friend, for the unconditional love, for the gift of salvation.  :)

Day 12. A picture of your long-time crush.

Aside from celebrity crushes, I do not have any crushes right now. Ahem, it’s a given since my love life is doing really well (thank God for this). But just for the sake of completing this challenge, and since this task was included, I am left with no choice but to do a quick flash back.

I seldom consider guys as my crush, I am not sure if I am ‘hard to please’ or just in denial. LOL. So it wasn’t really hard for me to identify who among those few was my crush for the longest time—well, he has been my crush for almost 5 years. :p

He was my ‘major’ crush all my high school life. Witty, gentleman, neat, plays guitar—stuff that will surely attract any high school girl whose penchant is more on the brainy side.

My apologies ***** for distorting your picture. This is a preventive measure to, well, uhmm, limit the ‘publicity’ of this. Hahaha.

Day 11. A picture of your celebrity idol

I really had hard time choosing who among these three hotties and rather than causing myself headache, I have decided to just post their pictures all together. This is actually more on celebrity crush than celebrity idol.

Paul Walker was the lead in the Fast and Furious movie series. His blue eyes makes me lost in his them. Haha. Richard Gere, who starred in Pretty Woman—a  movie that I can watch over and over again, was not marred as he aged. He’s still hot I wonder how he’s keeping it up. And of course, Ryan Reynolds. Uhmm, yeah, my super crush among the three of them. He first caught my attention in the movie The Proposal together with Sandra Bullock. Since then, I began looking for movies where he played roles—be it a minor or a major role. He’s so cute and charming. And sexy! No wonder he was announced Sexiest Man Alive in 2010.

Acting-wise they’re all good. They have proven their worth. No arguments about it. Gorgeous aren’t they? :)
