My Saturday-Sunday...

2am-ish to 10:30am-ish [Bed zzzzing...got up from time to time to do #1...]

11:30am-ish - 2pm-ish [chat with NG]

3pm [Lunch]

4:30pm-ish to 6:30pm-ish [laundry, I decided to wash my undies along with my jeans and shirts, so, I'd have a laundry free Sunday for this week. Hee. I was in the mood for it, might as well no?]

7pm-10pm [nap time]

10pm-ish - 11pm-ish [Bible reading time]

12am-ish onwards [Played some Mission Tank on Nadine's Gameboy which she lent to me last Friday night then just stayed in bed...trying to sleep again...no luck...]

3am-ish [went online, updated the daily breads and updating this blog...]

I should go back to bed...I think, I will...I'm quite tired...another weekend is almost over...a brand new work week is upon me...a busy week as far as I know...better than not busy. I'm grateful. I just whine about it from time to time. Human nature yes?

In Entertainment News, Paris Hilton is going to jail for 45 days...hmmmm...I guess, money can't buy your way out of trouble all the time no? America is really strict with their laws and what not no? Whether you're an ordinary or a famous person, doesn't matter, if you violate the law, you must pay for the consequence. Jail is one place I don't ever want to be in.

Here's something I got from Beliefnet about money and the bible. Worth sharing me thinks.
The Bible and Money: 10 Tips from Scripture
Finance guides come and go, but as Christians throughout the centuries have known, the Bible is a finance guide for all time. From stories about rich men and paupers to proverbs with sharp insights, God's word is filled with good advice on money.

The Bible cannot tell you how to diversify your portfolio, but it can tell you how to be the kind of person who saves enough money, spends wisely, plans ahead, gives generously, and learns to enjoy money.

(All verses in New International Version unless otherwise noted.)

Tip #1: Remember that God creates wealth
"Remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you the ability to produce wealth." [Deuteronomy 8:18]

Tip #2: Feeling rich? Give thanks to God
"This is what the Lord says: 'Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom or the strong man boast of his strength or the rich man boast of his riches, but let him who boasts boast about this: that he understands and knows Me, that I am the Lord, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight,' declares the Lord." [Jeremiah 9:23-24]

Tip #3: Save for the kids' inheritance
"A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children." [Proverbs 13:22]

Tip #4: Get out of debt in order to be free
"The poor are always ruled over by the rich, so don't borrow and put yourself under their power" (MSG). [Proverbs 22:7]

Tip #5: Guard against greed
"Then [Jesus] said to them, 'Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.'" [Luke 12:15]

Tip #6: Remember that money isn't evil, but loving it is
"For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil, and some people by longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs" (NASB).
[I Timothy 6:10]

Tip #7: Give back to God
"Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops; then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine." [Proverbs 3:9]

Tip #8: Know that everything belongs to God
"And remember, the land is Mine, so you may not sell it permanently. You are merely My tenants and sharecroppers!" [Leviticus 25:23]

Tip #9: Put God before money
"But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." [Matthew 6:33]

Tip #10: Count the cost of your spending
"For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish it?" [Luke 14:28]

Okays, that will be it for now. Must go back to bed. Have a fine Sunday. Keep the faith. God Bless.

Time...Time...Time...

Heys, missed me? Hee. I missed this blog. I haven't forgotten about this blog, I just couldn't come up with anything much to post in here. It would have turned out to be a daily picture of Jomari each time I post an entry. So, it was better NOT TO post when you're forced yes? NOW, I'm not forced. Not at all. I only posted 3 entries for the month of April. Three. Though, I have a good reason for not posting much. God a bit busy with work and when I get home, I pretty much spend two hours mailing NG and then bed and tv time for the rest of my 24 hours. Funny, I didn't get much sleep the past month, I ended up zzzzing at around 2am-ish [after the Ellen Show] then at times, restless, mostly because of the summer heat.

Here's how my sched is like: Monday-Friday [work at 8am - 5pm, time varies really...some long nights, some earlier than 8am...][home usually at 8pm, I do mails, I try to update the daily breads early in the morning when I get up earlier than usual...but if not, I type the daily bread when I get home and post it then do NGs mails, there was a week that I asked NG if we could not do mails, as much as it disappointed me to ask for that, I had to, I just had to, coz I really felt tired when I get home and I just stay in bed and watch tv until I get tired, which is quite disappointing coz I'd spent hours in front of the tv and still sleep at 2am...anubayun] Figure out how I put a few hours of sleep in there. Hee. Then my weekends, I stay in bed most of the start of my Saturday and Sunday, until it's time for my chat with NG around 11am until 2pm-ish, then lunch, then laundry at around 3 or 4pm, Saturday [I wash jeans, shirts and shorts] Sunday [I wash my delicates aka undies and small items like socks, hankies] then I iron clothes around 9pm-ish while watching TV..then just bed time...tv...I don't usually go online much late at nights...] Hmmm...start of March, I started back in my daily bible reading, I still have to decide on the best time for it, nowadays, I do it around 10pm-ish. Which time is best for you to read? Do share.

So, with that schedule, pretty reasonable enough to not be able to post as much right? Hee. Just say yes.

Since we're on the subject of time, I came across this passage a few weeks ago...just would like to share...

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens:
a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance,
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away,
a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak,
a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.
[Ecclesiastes 3:1-8]

Also, I know I'm one blessed person, yes, I may not have a lot of money and all but we are far blessed than the people in Africa and other places. I get to eat 3 times a day, twice a day by choice. I get to buy some clothes when I have extra money. Though, one thing, I surely can't afford is hospital, I think, that's why I've never been hospitalized except when I was born, God knows I can't afford it. Sigh. I just am grateful for each moment. Like a friend texted last week, just have to have PERSPECTIVE. Just have to keep that in mind no?

Also, I've noticed, we have lotsa black ants around our dining area nowadays, it is because of the heat? They are everywhere even if there's no sweet edibles in that area. What gives? Do you have lots of ants too?

Nadine turned 8 last April 8...

Hmmm...I guess, this will be it for now. I'm home on a Tuesday, all thank to Labor Day Holiday, only 3 more work days left for me then it be the weekend again. Leaving you with a few quotes I got via email and from Beliefnet daily inspirations:

>>Don't cry over anyone who won't cry over you.

>>Good friends are hard to find, harder to leave, and impossible to forget.

>>Don't let the past hold you back, you're missing the good stuff.

>>BEST FRIENDS are the siblings God forgot to give us.

>>When it hurts to look back, and you're scared to look ahead, you can look beside you and your BEST FRIEND will be there.

>>Nobody is perfect until you fall in love with them.

>>The days are too short even for love; how can there be enough time for quarreling? [Margaret Gatty]

May we all have a fine brand new month. Wow. 5th month of 2007. Wow indeed. God Bless.

I Still Heart Them...

It's 1:15am and I can't sleep. I've finished updating the daily bread, that you can find here and here. I just finished browsing thru the folders in my hard disk and I found these images that has been with me for years...heee...can't seem to let go of them. I have saved and deleted lotsa images thru the years but I can't seem to delete the images below...I wonder why...let me ponder on that...AS IF!

Mr. Jomari Yllana, he will always be my bench man...he hasn't been on a Bench ad in recent years but I have enough ads in my collection to remember that he had good years with Bench. I know I had good years seeing his billboards and what not. I started patronizing Bench because of him. Believe it or not. It's my way of supporting him. Not that it matters to him but whatever...I'm just babbling here. I still haven't updated the website that I made for this guy. Just need more time and the motivation to do it.


Mr. Jamie Walters, 90s musician [he released 3 solo CDs and also was the front man of the fictional band, The Heights]; actor [tv shows: The Heights and BH90210; movies: Shout and Mumbo Jumbo, I've only seen Shout though, I still have it on VHS, it was an okay movie, since I'm a fan, I liked it. Nowadays, Jamie's a firefighter in LA California, married with 4 kids [3 girls, 1 boy], he has a MySpace account out there. And a semi-active yahoogroup [which I'm a proud member of...and thru that yahoogroup back in 2000 met a guy from Nebraska, who would have thought eh?], maybe, someday, he'll release an acoustic cd. That would be a treat. Indeed.


Lex and Clark, the last time I watched Smallville was back on its 3rd season, I think, they're on their 6th now, I'm not sure...but I still love this two guys. Lucky Lana Lang on this pic. Hee.


Zach [aka JD on Scrubs] and Tom [aka Ed Steves on ED], they played brothers on SCRUBS. I like them both, I like Ed more...but I like Zach too...I like them both. Period.


Andrew Shue aka Billy from Melrose Place...Sigh. Enough said. I can't remember where I got this pic from.


A teenage John Cusack...isn't he a cutie?

Okays, must go back to bed and try to zzzzz...I must remember this, from a recent daily bread, If you have trouble getting to sleep, try resting in the Lord.;
"I will both lie down in peace, and sleep; for You alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety." Psalm 4:8

With that, I say good nitey to you. God Bless.

Eight Today...

My favorite cousin Nadine, is 8 years old today. Seems like yesterday that she was just a tiny teeny 2 week old baby. I love this gurl. She always makes me smile after a day's work. Happy Birthday Nadoinks...

Happy Blessed Easter to you. God Bless.

My Weekend with John...

I spent my weekend with John Cusack. Watched movies with him on it, is what I mean. I started with the movie Runaway Jury, I like talkie movies and this one I can consider a talkie movie. It was based on a John Grisham novel. The last movie I've seen that was based on a Grisham novel was, I believe, The Pelican Brief. That was some time ago. Anyhoo, as always, John is hummina hummina. I'm biased of course. He's always gonna be hummina hummina for me. I love whenever he's talking, good talking voice he's got. Love love love John. The movie was exciting. Was really looking forward as how the movie was gonna end. It also starred Rachel Weisz, Gene Hackman, Dustin Hoffman. Me likey the movie. Can't do a review of sorts but it's a good one in my book, not just because John was in it. Hee.


Next was Identity, the said movie can be considered a thriller-suspense one. Again, John is yummina in the movie. Hee. At the beginning of the movie, I thought, I knew what was going on but as the movie goes on, I got lost a bit and I actually liked the little twist towards the end. An okay John Cusack for me once again. Amanda Peet and Ray Liotta were also in the movie.



I didn't get to watch this movie over the weekend. Maybe, I'll watch it later. I've had the dibidi since early last year. Got a bit busy [as expected] at work Monday and Tuesday and didn't have much time to watch movies whenever I get home from work. I ended up just sleeping after I'm done with NGs mails. My 5 favorite John Cusack movies would have to be: Say Anything, Serendipity, The Sure Thing, Pushing Tin and Runaway Jury.

How are you spending the extended Holy Week break? I hope it'll be a good one for us. Anyhoo, must get out of here for now. I'm sleepy tired. I did some laundry earlier. Tiring but had to do it. It was okay, I was able to take care of it. Was done after almost 3 hours. 2 jeans. 3 shirts. 3 tops. 3 shorts and a week and half's worth of undies since I got lazee last Sunday to wash them. Will do it again this weekend so it will not pile up.

Leaving you with today's daily bread verse,
I will both lie down in peace, and sleep; for You alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety. --- Psalm 4:8 and
IF YOU HAVE TROUBLE GETTING TO SLEEP, TRY RESTING IN THE LORD.

Have a fine long weekend break. God Bless.
