Speaking of dancing, definitely I am not a good dancer. I am not graceful when it comes to dancing. But I was able to dance this Christmas dance presentation entitled "Te Amo". If you ask me the best dance I ever danced, probably, I'll say Spanish dance (this dance), We performed it, together with churchmate, during our "Christmas around the world" theme presentation. The title of the Christian song is "Te Amo" by Israel & New Breed. I love the song because it's jolly and the lyrics are more on Spanish language.  For me this is one of my favorite dance I ever danced. It helps me show my graceful dancing. I couldn't find the video of this dance, but hopefully, I can post it here (I'm sure you'll enjoy watching it). This is a Spanish dance with colorful skirts, colorful fan and a banner. One thing I love about Spanish dance is that it is very colorful and it is very joyful.   I thank God for the strength and I give back glory and hono

I want to learn how to play the drums. Many want to learn the drum because they feel it sounds pretty cool, but learning to play the drums is more than that. Drums have many purposes around the world and it’s symbolic to many cultures. Drums are mainly used in music, rituals, traditions, communications or even battle fields. 1. In   cultural performances and rituals   drums are mainly used. (Mainly China and Vietnam and other countries in Asia first used this instrument) 2. Drums are also used as communication. In early ages, over great distances, people used drums to communicate. It is used in Africa to communicate by imitating the tone language used in speaking. 3.It is also used for military troops and battles. In early age, even today, it is used to motivate troops in marching pace. It is also used in sports to conduct rhythm and simply used to motivate the players. 3.It is also used in worship. In the churches today- mainly Pentecostal churches- they usually uses drums in praise a

Finally, the Christmas presentation with the kids was very successful. I thank God for the strength even though I was so tired at that time.We had almost eight Sundays of practice for the presentation. I thank God because it turns out to be so well organized and well-rehearsed. We had different type of presentations- first is narration (the nativity story), dance presentation with the angels and shepherds, and the ballet dance with the little kids and sing and dance all together.Unfortunately, I didn't have the video of there presentation but I'm glad I got their photos.  the angels are waiting for the program to start  the kids are very happy as they received their gifts  cute little Mary and Joseph  shepherds and wisemen are ready to dance kids dance with the banner and ribbons As the kids had their presentations, I can't spell my heart out. I feel very glad and happy. Truly teaching those kids are priceless. It can give you so much joy from within as they presented. Trai

One of the coolest musical instruments to play for a guy is the drums. I think every guy really dreamed to learn how to play the drums. It is very attractive for the guy if he knows how to play the musical instruments especially the drums. I got a friend and he knows and plays very well the drums. I don’t know, but there’s something really in drummer guys who plays humbly the musical instrument. That could easily attract to the women. In short, I got a crush to my friend who happens to be a drummer boy. That friend of mine, I don’t know where he is right now and we don’t have a constant communication. If we could meet again, I’ll still admire this guy and still he deserves high quality drumsticks like zildjian dip drumsticks wood 5b as my Christmas present. I admire his skill and talent. I still value and I didn’t forget our friendship. Though, we didn’t end up as lovers but, I can still consider him as my good friend. I hope that we’ll meet again and talk a lot. And to my music lover

May we always feel the wonderful blessings of Christmas and the warmth it gives. It's a great day celebrate God's goodness. Merry Christmas everyone. May God showered you with such blessings. I hope that we'll not forget why we celebrate Christmas. It is the season of great joy- to celebrate the savior Christ who came to save us from all of our sins (for those who believe). I hope that we will always remember this great event throughout the days of our lives. The very essence of Christmas is that He came. The God of heaven and the universe came- for you and for me. Jesus Christ is the reason for the season. I would like to joyfully greet you a Merry Christmas. Keep going and God bless.

Two years ago, we were flooded and I think all our appliances and things were washed out by the flood. Our town was helpless and we don’t know where to ask help. There are many dead bodies around the place. We evacuated in other place and we don’t know where to find trucks to transport some of the ting we saved. We felt so helpless- it’s very painful disaster (we almost loss everything). Now, it’s the second anniversary of that tragic event. It’s very horrible to recall the devastation it made into our town. Good thing that the government did really their best to help us for rehabilitation projects and assistance. First thing you should do in times of disaster or after disaster is to believe that there is hope and there are lots of people with a good heart who can help you. Do not be angry to the situation, instead, do something to lessen the trauma or destruction. Always secure aid kit. You have also to submit to the local or national government. As I recall these events, I felt pit

Here's another wonderful experience with Disney movies. Once again, Disney didn't fail me and all the Disney movie fans- the movie has a great positive feedback. Well of course, I'm already expecting it since it's from the maker of "Tangled" and "Wreck it Ralph" that are also successful Disney movies. When I watched the trailer "Frozen" first comes in my mind... Here's another prince and princess love story of Disney. But still, I look forward of the movie because I am huge fan of princess' who found their prince story. The story is full of lesson and exciting scenes. I love the music and the arrangement in the movie. The theme songs of the movie "Let it Go" and etc. I love the theme of the movie. It has the theme about love- love for family, siblings and for a friend. Frozen is the title that speaks a lot about the movie. Elsa who's the princess who has a magical powers who can froze things. She has no control in her

Do you know that printing as a business is very interesting and promising? Everywhere, everything you see are products of printing business- from labels of the food you eat, beauty products, posters of your favorite clothing line, school projects and the t-shirts you wear every day. I graduated as an art student taking up industrial education- and soon to be a high school teacher. I personally love to have this kind of business because this is the channel for me to enhance my artistic skill and embrace my passion in graphic designing. I really want to build- up a business in the future, but first we have to know what’s in today and do the head start. It is very crucial and important to know your game plan. Almost all business rely on the latest technology, so you have buy wholesale printer and other latest technologies used in printing. If you have the right budget for your capital, then invest it for a best printers. I know how hard it is to manually print material like T-shirt using

It's the great month of the year. This month is the busiest month for me. Everyone is very excited for our Christmas presentation. I do have a lot of things to do before that "big day" comes. Our presentation will be this coming December 22. I was assigned to do the decorations and prepare special numbers for the kids. I was busy doing the decorations and teaching the Sunday school kids different kinds of presentation. Everyone is cramming because the presentation is approaching.  Every presentation had an allotted time to rehearse. In this situation, we really need to have many amplifiers like in the fender hot rod deluxe at music123 to accommodate everyone's presentations- especially in practicing singing. It is needed to amplify the sound of guitars and other musical instrument. It is also capable in connecting to the microphones and other musical instruments. It is also handy, so it's comfortable to bring it wherever you practice or perform.   Well then,

If there are things that I'm thankful of, it's my artistic skill. I really thank God for giving me such talent. It is very helpful to me and to the ministry I'm involved with. I thank God for giving me such a wonderful ideas that I can use in backdrop designing and making our Christmas decorations. For this year's concept for our presentation, it is "Christmas around the world". It is celebrating Christmas in different ways according to the different cultures of the different countries. What I made for the design id the Eiffel tower made up of popsicle sticks, snowman made up of paper mache, a statue of liberty made up of styro, cherry blossoms out of tree branches and Japanese paper and the classical Philippine's own nipa hut made up of newspaper. I posted some snapshots to give you an idea of what I'm talking about. Here's my output. Keep going. God bless. With proper lighting, this would be a very awesome stage design. Glory to God. Enjoy your h

How wonderful to know that Christmas time is the time of giving and sharing. I do really hope that every day would be a time of sharing and giving special gifts- not just material things. Anyway, giving material gifts has been a symbolic way for us share and give. This Christmas, I would really love to share a gift for my loved ones. The rewarding part of giving is that you make that person or people happy. I am planning to start buying gifts for the whole family. Gifts for women are easy to find- fashionable dresses, beauty kit, bags and other accessories. It would be harder for me to find dad's gift- since he's the only male in the family and finding gift for men are really hard to find. Actually there are manly gifts that surely fit for dad. It would be the exceptional saffire at musicians friend. If there's a person I know who definitely love to receive audio accessories that would be dad. He loves to play music in the house. Actually, he loves to fix amplifiers and co

It is the last month of the year and December almost ends. As an employee of the company, before the Christmas holiday, mostly they are bombarded with so many things to finish and to comply (I know how it feels). That means, it's time for making a year-end documentations and making catalogues, sending solicitations for the upcoming activity of projects and etc. These are all common scenarios in companies and organizations. Sending letter is the common problem- this is the hardest part especially if its business letter. And this also adds pressure to you- making good impressions. Letterhead Design is one of the factors to consider- this will give you great impression in your letters. Always remember your output represents you. So make sure you make the best of your letters. Before your head burst, let me share you some tips on how to lessen your work. Always ask help or assistance- and it’s just a click away (checkout the link in this post). If you struggled making your logo, lay

Do you know that the majority of the successful and wealthy people are the ones involve in businesses. They are the one who are risk takers and innovative. Though, many employed personnel are successful in terms of profit, but those who own the business excels. So, are you ready to plan for business? Honestly, I do really want to start a business. Since I love to draw, design and do graphic arts, the business that fits for me is printing business. I love designing shirts, invitation cards, posters, souvenirs and etc. I do love to have a business where I can express the artistic side of me. If you have the same passion like me and you’re convinced that you have the ability to start your own business, then make a head start. Checkout print shop software - the software solutions built for printing industry or printing business. It’s not enough that we are knowledgeable and skilful for this business, but you should be open for upgrades and development of the technology. It is also import

Exchanging of vows and saying “I do” are more treasured when you both enjoyed your singlehood. Many considered singlehood as boring and full of loneliness- especially when you almost reach that age of 30 and  all your friends have boyfriend/ girlfriend and some were already married. And you started viewing single hood is a curse! I strongly disagree. My close friend and my spiritual adviser from the US shared this advises to me. (Since I’m still single, but not desperately looking for a mate. Hahaha) 1. Do as many of the things in your power that you want to do as a single person. I’m pretty sure there are a lot of things you can do- traveling, taking cooking classes, riding a bike around the lake every weekend, running every night, etc. ( That way when you’re married, you will be so ready. You will have explored those things of interest that may not fit with family life. You will be so ready to settle down. 2. Also, I think it's important to be around people...through your job, th

2014 is fast approaching. Time runs so fast that I couldn't imagine that 17 days left and we'll bid goodbye to 2013 and we'll welcome 2014. This coming year, I will be more specific in my goals and dreams in life. I want to increase my earnings, support my family and fulfill my dreams to travel and renovate our house. It's been 2 years now since I go back to blogging and online job. In those years, I was striving to fulfill my dreams. I've been dreaming for a brighter future. This year, I will do my best to achieve that dream. The first in my list of dreams is to support my family and renovate our house. I want to make our home a clean-well lighted place- a pleasant place to live in. Plus, there are many things in the house that are not in a proper place so I want to make sure that everything will be kept in place. Almost every part of the house are messy- from the terrace down to the kitchen. One of my project this 2014 is a lot of cabinet- where we can put our sho

When I was a kid, every Christmas we usually do Christmas carolling in the neighbourhood. Together with my siblings and cousins, we usually go outside in our neighborhood to sing Christmas carols– with all the musical instruments like tambourine, guitar, handmade drums and etc. Then, after singing a few songs the owner of the house will give us a penny or a Christmas present. As kids, we were all glad receiving a small amount of penny. Then we moved on to another house and sang the same songs and another penny was added to our coin bank. At the end of the carolling (when we were all tired) we divided the money or we saved it for our Christmas party. We love doing it. We did it for fun at the same time we were earning.That was a very enjoyable thing to do. That’s what I really miss every Christmas. Now, we are not doing it anymore. We are already old enough and we feel shy to do it. And people now days don’t appreciate Christmas carolling. Carollers just did it for the sake of receivin

If there is a certain thing that has a sentimental value to me, probably it would be a piece of coffee mug. Why I consider it valuable? Three years ago, we had a Christmas party at my grandmother’s house. It is our family’s tradition to have a Christmas party and exchange gift every Christmas- before Christmas Eve. A day before the party, we picked random names to know whom we will give our gifts.   We called the receiver of the gift as manita (female) or monito (male). After we picked a name, just for fun, we we’re shouting the gift we want to receive.- just to let that person who picked know what I want. That time, I was shouting “I beg you, please give me anything… a makeup or slipper, but please don’t give me a coffee mug”. During the party, we had a great time playing parlour games. Before midnight, we exchanged gifts.   I was very excited to open my gift. I was surprised. Yes, inside the box is a piece of mug with a Disney princess design. That was an awkward moment and I don’t
