We can settle into a routine of activities at church and in our small groups and Bible studies, with little expectation of anything new. The familiar becomes the predictable, and everything from here on out will be more of the same. We dip our teaspoon into the vast ocean of the living God. Holding that teaspoon in our hand, we say, ‘This is God.’ we pour it out into our lives, and we say,’This is the Christian experience.’<br /><br />God calls us to dive into the ocean. He call us into ever new regions of his fullness, his immensity, his all-sufficiency. There is more for us in Christ than we have yet apprehended. Let’s never think that we have him figured out or that we’ve seen all he can do. The Bible is not a guidebook to a theological museum. It is a road map showing us the way into neglected or even forgotten glories of the living God.”<br /><br />- Ray Ortlund, When God Comes to Church<br /><br />I hope that makes sense to you. <br /><br />- Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone<br />Jamie Annehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05593789868666748088noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2853570067377089622.post-67728713350461896132010-11-12T19:44:00.001+08:002010-11-12T19:44:48.203+08:00DreamsI want to be in Singapore or in another country where I could experience how to be on my own and be independent. I'd like to find ways on how I could bless my family.
But somehow all these dreams remain but a dream. I can't help but wonder at times if my motives are purely selfish.
I want to grow more, study more, and yeah... Travel more. If only I'm not racing against time... Oh my! I'd be trying out extreme random things ever.
But there's also more to life aside from traveling and studying. I have to start building my future and prepare for my family life. I think of such things too...
I love this life. There's so many to hope for... So many things to aim for. Yes it is frustrating that I can't have it all and that most likely I won't achieve all those things but knowing that I could aim for all those gives me the excitement which I need in life.
Oh I wish to fulfill and experience so many things before my hair turns white and starts thinning out ;)Jamie Annehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05593789868666748088noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2853570067377089622.post-5521497484040904092010-10-27T21:14:00.001+08:002010-10-27T21:14:31.395+08:00YOU + MELong walks

So, I woke up with this heavy feeling in my heart. Yeah, I decided to stay in bed longer hoping to push my bad vibes away. But then, I decided to stand up and do something bout it. So, I got my pile of laundry and started working. While I did so, I also ended up speaking with Jorlan. I'm glad he was online. We talked and it was good. A few minutes later, he sent me an email and yes, I have to admit that everything seemed better afterwards.
Simple and no so noteworthy, I know. But thank you, Lord, for bringing Jorlan to my life. At least that unexpected email made me smile :)Jamie Annehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05593789868666748088noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2853570067377089622.post-65779514200612446042010-09-15T23:02:00.001+08:002010-09-15T23:02:49.884+08:00FAILI got the news I've been waiting for. I didn't get in. It's painful. I don't understand and I honestly feel not good enough. But I prayed to God about this and this was His answer so for tonight I'll cry my heart out and tomorrow I'll wake up, hold my chin up, and move on. I will try again.
For now, I just want to cry it out... All of it out.Jamie Annehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05593789868666748088noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2853570067377089622.post-20423795412441228572010-09-12T21:18:00.001+08:002010-09-12T21:18:31.266+08:00The ComplimentBeing an educator, I am often in touch with children. Tonight, a kid posted on my wall that he got me a bracelet. So, I told him, "thank you. You're the best! <3" Those were my exact words. His reply touched my heart. He said, "Thank you for telling me I'm the best. I love you." Then, he sent me another message, "I'm bringing some Malaysian treats for you tomorrow." I don't know what's so special with the remarks I gave him but tonight, I realized that I should never stop giving compliments to my children. Nothing beats building someone up. I may not have given him anything tangible but those meaningful remarks definitely encouraged a kid tonight. I think that matters more.

May You use me to bless my family. I accept this challenge of learning what patience is all about. I am eager and anxious to depend on my abilities but Lord, I will trust in you alone. You know better than I. I will be still and know You're the Lord over my life.Jamie Annehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05593789868666748088noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2853570067377089622.post-77790584639706385842010-09-05T22:05:00.001+08:002010-09-05T22:05:37.285+08:00Be StillOkay and so my prospect replied and asked me something unexpected. I submitted all what they requested for and now I'm here, waiting... Waiting... And waiting even more.
Excitement and anxiety are not good pairs... Add to that facing reality and responsibility... It's stressful.
My mind is full of "if only I could's" for I have no great powers to make all things possible. I dream and desire the best things in life but I too can only do so much.
Yes, if I could have it my way, I'd be gone by now doing everything to fulfill my responsibilities and make everyone around me worry-free. Unfortunately, I am not in control.
Yes, it's another day to learn how to be still and know who my God is.
Not my will, but my Lord's will be done in my life. For now, I'll excel in the work that I have and keep believing that God knows what's best for me. He will provide for my everything and will never forsake me.Jamie Annehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05593789868666748088noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2853570067377089622.post-4109994402140509052010-09-04T17:08:00.001+08:002010-09-04T17:08:53.054+08:00By the couch and ponderingThe TV is on but my thoughts are somewhere else. I have been thinking. I've been dreaming for nothing but the best so I could experience the best in life as well. However, at the end of the day, I still end feeling not happy knowing that there's more to reach for and dream of and explore out there.
Then, it dawned upon me that what I desire for myself is not what God wants for me. What I think is good for me is not good for God.
It's tough learning the lesson of contentment. Being human, I can't help but desire the best things... The better thing in life. Then again, after desiring everything, I continue to submit to what God wants for me.
God knows better than I and in times of trials, I should remain firm in believing that my Lord knows which is for me and which is not. Doubt and envy must have no room in my heart for my Lord will bless me in ways beyond my comprehension. I gotta open my eyes and allow myself to see how God is moving in my life. That way if I focus more on Him, my heart will be contented and I shall not want no longer.. And my Lord will be more than enough for me. ;)Jamie Annehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05593789868666748088noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2853570067377089622.post-22561619011349015182010-08-14T22:16:00.000+08:002010-08-14T22:16:38.309+08:00For Real<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I enjoyed every moment having you around </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">but knowing you're so far always leaves me with a doubt.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Whenever you become silent, I can't help but wonder, "do you still think of me?" or "have I been forgotten?"</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I feel things have turned from surreal to real. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The longing and the pain, both these emotions, I could finally feel.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I don't want to hold on for I am scared to be let down.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">But whenever I give up, your honest answers pull me back.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">But then again, who could ever really tell that you have been so honest?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I miss you.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">That's all I could say.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">That's all I could do.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">That's all I that's in my head - You and I.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

That was a momentous event for me. Being sheltered by my parents, the fact that I was allowed to go to an out-of-town trip with just my friends was a big deal for me. Anyway, my friends and I headed to Puerto Galera to have an overnight of a lifetime. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It became a night of many firsts and realizations for me. Add to that, major lessons learned too. How could I ever forget that night...</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Anyway, cliche' as this may sound but there were things which were rather be left and buried in Puerto Galera just like how the famous adage goes, "What happens in Puerto Galera, stays in Puerto Galera." And so I thought that would be applicable for me. However, right after I got back to reality, I just realized that what supposed to be a fun vacation brought me tons of extra baggages to carry back home. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">With what happened, I found it tough to move on. Think: emotional rollercoaster kind-of-stuff. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Oh well, it took a while before I moved on. I had to force myself to do so. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">BUT... something happened tonight. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I finally got the closure I needed. How? Here it goes:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">M: Jamie, is this still ur no.? -7:41pm</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i>J: Oi! Yeah, I remember you. What's up? -7:45pm</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">M: Just browsing through phone nos. haha. Doin ok. How are you? -7:46pm</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i>J: Nice. Haha.. All is well with me. You? How's life? -7:47pm</i></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i>J: Me? Married? Haha where did that come from? Baka you're the one who's married. Yeah, still teaching. -7:49pm</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">M: Haha, ako married? Yeah right! Anyways glad to hear frm you. -8:01pm</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i>J: Haha I hope you're still random and crazy, Moses! ;p nice to hear from you</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">M: man, im a bit wiser and smarter now. still silly sometimes. i do apologize fr that phase when i was silly with you. -8:04pm</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i>J: It's okay. :) -8:11pm</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">M: awww thanks. for what it's worth, that was one awesome puerto galera trip. Right? -8:18pm</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i>J: It was memorable. ;) -8:19pm</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">M: Haha. U dont sound happy abt it. -8:24pm</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i>J: And what are you now -- a mindreader? Haha! I enjoyed that trip kaya -8:27pm</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">M: haha. great! lets have coffee when i visit bf again. -8:55pm</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i>J: Sure - 9:09pm</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i><br />
</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Okay, I know he did not use "Sorry" but the apology was all I needed to close that chapter of my life. I forgave him years ago but it feels way better to hear an apology from the person who hurt you.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I'm okay.. I'm better. Thank you, Lord, for this one. For all it's worth, I treasure the friendship that I had with M***. Fact remains that he made me smile, laugh, love, forgive, grow and mature...and for all those, I continue to praise the Lord for how his life made an impact on mine. ^_~</span>Jamie Annehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05593789868666748088noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2853570067377089622.post-31519361269678580222010-08-09T16:06:00.001+08:002010-08-09T16:06:00.359+08:00•sigh•I am exhausted but I can't help but push myself further because my students are working sooooooo hard!

You can turn them into a great homemade hummus – just blend with garlic, lemon juice, chili pepper and a teaspoon of olive oil.</div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 0.8em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0.75em; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0.5em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;"></span></div><div style="font-size: 0.8em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0.75em; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0.5em;">For those trying to cut back on meat, chickpeas make a great protein replacement. Mix them with whole grains such as brown rice or couscous for a complete meat substitute.</div><h3 style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #bb3333; font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 1em; font-weight: 900; letter-spacing: -0.02em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0.8em; margin-right: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.5em; padding-bottom: 0.3em; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-transform: none;">2. Oatmeal</h3><div style="font-size: 0.8em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0.75em; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0.5em;">Oatmeal is a very high source of soluble fiber that digests slowly, curbing your hunger and cravings for hours. It stabilizes blood sugar levels, unclogs arteries, and lowers risk of colon cancer.</div><div style="font-size: 0.8em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0.75em; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0.5em;">It is best to avoid the flavored and sweetened oatmeal as they have added sugar and chemicals. Go for plain oatmeal with low fat milk and blueberries or your favorite fruit for a power breakfast. It's inexpensive and you can buy it in bulk.</div><img alt="Japanese squash as a weight loss food" class="diet" src="http://www.modeldietplan.com/images/pumpkin.jpg" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(187, 187, 187); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-color: rgb(187, 187, 187); border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 1px; border-right-color: rgb(187, 187, 187); border-right-style: solid; border-right-width: 1px; border-top-color: rgb(187, 187, 187); border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 1px; float: right; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0.5em; margin-right: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.5em; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-left: 1px; padding-right: 1px; padding-top: 1px;" /><h3 style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #bb3333; font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 1em; font-weight: 900; letter-spacing: -0.02em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0.8em; margin-right: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.5em; padding-bottom: 0.3em; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-transform: none;">3. Kobacha Squash</h3><div style="font-size: 0.8em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0.75em; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0.5em;">Also know as a Japanese winter squash or pumpkin. You might have seen it on the supermarket shelf but you probably weren’t sure what it was!</div><div style="font-size: 0.8em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0.75em; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0.5em;">A cup of Japanese squash contains just 40 calories, but it is high in nutrients like antioxidants, vitamins A and C and fiber. The best thing, however, is its delicious taste. It really is a tasty, guilt-free diet food.</div><div style="font-size: 0.8em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0.75em; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0.5em;">I love Kobacha wedges. Just cut them up and pop them in the oven with salt for 20 minutes. They make a filling, super-yummy snack.</div><h3 style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #bb3333; font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 1em; font-weight: 900; letter-spacing: -0.02em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0.8em; margin-right: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.5em; padding-bottom: 0.3em; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-transform: none;">4. Sardines</h3><div style="font-size: 0.8em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0.75em; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0.5em;">In recent studies it has been shown that an increased intake of Omega 3 fatty acids can help to balance blood sugar levels and control appetite. And (as if that wasn’t enough), they also reduce levels of Cortisol, a stress hormone responsible for storing fat. They are a very low calorie source of protein and calcium, both very important for weight loss.</div><div style="font-size: 0.8em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0.75em; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0.5em;">Sardines are great because they are cheap, abundant and contain lower levels of mercury and PCBs than most fish. This is because they are lower in the food chain than tuna, for example, and so spend less time ingesting poisonous chemicals. Sardines are an excellent and underrated fish choice.</div><img alt="Chilis as a weight loss food" class="diet" src="http://www.modeldietplan.com/images/red-green-chillies2.jpg" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(187, 187, 187); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-color: rgb(187, 187, 187); border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 1px; border-right-color: rgb(187, 187, 187); border-right-style: solid; border-right-width: 1px; border-top-color: rgb(187, 187, 187); border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 1px; float: right; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0.5em; margin-right: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.5em; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-left: 1px; padding-right: 1px; padding-top: 1px;" /><h3 style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #bb3333; font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 1em; font-weight: 900; letter-spacing: -0.02em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0.8em; margin-right: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.5em; padding-bottom: 0.3em; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-transform: none;">5.

This increases your body's levels of endorphins, the chemicals that make you feel happy!</div><h3 style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #bb3333; font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 1em; font-weight: 900; letter-spacing: -0.02em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0.8em; margin-right: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.5em; padding-bottom: 0.3em; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-transform: none;">6.

It’s a great low fat source of calcium and protein, both of which are important for maintaining a high metabolism. Calcium reduces fat storage and boosts your metabolism, while protein maintains and protects lean muscle tissue.</div><div style="font-size: 0.8em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0.75em; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0.5em;">Try to choose plain yogurt – the flavored ones contain high amounts of sugar and additives. Alternatively, homemade yogurt is a healthy and economical way to add fresh yogurt to your life every day.</div><div style="font-size: 0.8em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0.75em; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0.5em;">Yogurt can also be used as a substitute for mayonnaise or sour cream in dips and salad dressing recipes. If plain yogurt isn't your thing, mix in fruits and nuts or use it in smoothies.</div><img alt="Blueberries as a weight loss food" class="diet" src="http://www.modeldietplan.com/images/blueberries.jpg" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(187, 187, 187); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-color: rgb(187, 187, 187); border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 1px; border-right-color: rgb(187, 187, 187); border-right-style: solid; border-right-width: 1px; border-top-color: rgb(187, 187, 187); border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 1px; float: right; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0.5em; margin-right: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.5em; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-left: 1px; padding-right: 1px; padding-top: 1px;" /><h3 style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #bb3333; font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 1em; font-weight: 900; letter-spacing: -0.02em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0.8em; margin-right: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.5em; padding-bottom: 0.3em; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-transform: none;">7.

A medium sized egg contains just 70 calories. Studies have shown that eating eggs for breakfast tends to reduce the amount of calories that you consume throughout the rest of the day. Eggs promote satiety and curb hunger and cravings.</div><div style="font-size: 0.8em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0.75em; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0.5em;">Eggs contain all of the essential amino acids, but it is the amino acid leucine that provides the link to fat loss. This naturally occurring substance helps to stabilize blood sugar levels and maintain lean muscle tissue.</div><img alt="Grapefruit as a weight loss food" class="diet" src="http://www.modeldietplan.com/images/grapefruit.jpg" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(187, 187, 187); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-color: rgb(187, 187, 187); border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 1px; border-right-color: rgb(187, 187, 187); border-right-style: solid; border-right-width: 1px; border-top-color: rgb(187, 187, 187); border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 1px; float: right; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0.5em; margin-right: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.5em; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-left: 1px; padding-right: 1px; padding-top: 1px;" /><h3 style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #bb3333; font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 1em; font-weight: 900; letter-spacing: -0.02em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0.8em; margin-right: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.5em; padding-bottom: 0.3em; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-transform: none;">9.

Grapefruit contains fat burning enzymes that are responsible for reducing insulin levels and encouraging weight loss.</div><div style="font-size: 0.8em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1.5em; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0.75em; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0.5em;">Grapefruit is low in calories and high in antioxidant vitamin C and potassium. It also contains bioflavonoids and other plant chemicals that protect against cancer and heart disease. You can eat grapefruit alone or toss it on salads.</div><h3 style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #bb3333; font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 1em; font-weight: 900; letter-spacing: -0.02em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0.8em; margin-right: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.5em; padding-bottom: 0.3em; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-transform: none;">10.

When you think about it, we can achieve greater altitudes when we challenge ourselves and go out of our comfort zones. However, the idea of conservatism limits us. We often try to make sure that we have buffers just IN CASE an unexpected happens.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Once more, I am challenged to move out of my comfort zone. I am scared. I have to admit, I am terrified. My life here is so comfortable that I am not sure if I am ready to give it up. Whatever I need is within my reach. I may not have so much to buy all that I want in my life but all I need is here.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">However, I know that there is so much that I can do. I know that there are a lot of things to explore. And I know for a fact that I can only make these happen if I let go and plunge right in. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I need a GO signal. I need to hear God's audible voice telling me to GO. I need a GREAT PUSH to jump right in and I know that this won't happen. I know that right this very moment, it's all up to me. It's either I plunge right in and see what's in store for me or forever wonder what could have had happened.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">My dream is simple... to bless my family and to learn more about life, love, and experience more of God. What should I do know?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I have taken a tiny move... what's next now?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Should I leap and let go and just FALL?<br />

They were searching for a park where we could all hang out. Rej, Timothy, Thiu, Tsende, Bajji, John and I walked from our place all the way to Bf resort. I remember enjoying every moment of it because it was rare for me to walk outside my home at around this time -- it's past 8:30pm, mind you. We talked about random things along the way. Thiu had his iPod earphones stuck on his ears, Timothy never stopped finding things to laugh at, the couple were singing, John was texting, Rej walked by my side and I was in awe of the stars. We went inside the churches. We walked and walked and walked. It was a bonding of a lifetime. At one point we all got tired. Someone didn't wear the right footwear hence resulted to aching toes, we had to stop somewhere. We all opted to hang out at a sari-sari store. Sitting by the gutter was a bit unhygienic but it seemed the most logical thing to do since the chairs weren't enough for us. We bought a liter of Sprite and grabbed a drink. I will never forget Bajji's cute expression when she saw the Sprite being poured on the plastic. Oh and Timothy's funny face was totally hilarious as he drank from the plastic. Talk about bonding moments. •sigh• it's nice to pause for a while and remember all of it. I cant help but be sentimental. A few hours ago, Timothy buzzed me on YM and was checking on how I was doing. I miss that guy. We chatted for a while. As always, I ended laughing my heart out. The joy was irreplaceable.

•sigh•
Basyang, you totally made your presence felt. Your strong winds and heavy rains really made an impact earlier this morning. You disturbed my sleep. You kept me awake. You busted the power sources. Great! Now, there's nothing much that I can do. Yes, I liked the idea of being home to rest but I don't like the idea of being idle. With no electricity, no wifi, no phone, no water, what else is left to do?
Oh, Basyang! Tsk tsk tsk Jamie Annehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05593789868666748088noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2853570067377089622.post-53101977580188412872010-07-15T18:03:00.001+08:002010-07-15T18:03:28.093+08:00Companionship
Sometimes I worry about my single state but most of the time, I find myself enjoying the fact that I'm alone. Some thing is bothering me. Well, I have been single for so long mainly because I had to take care of so many things and I just enjoyed my singlehood so much - no one to take care of, no responsibilities and no accountabilities.
However, lately, there are these two guys who occupy my mind. My friend call them as my quasi-boyfriends. You see, thanks to technology, the world seems way smaller now and everything seems so accessible. These two guys are from two different continents. One is from Brazil and the other is from Italy. Both are decent and in terms of presentability, both will definitely pass this criterion with flying colors. Mr. Brazil is a punk rock / reggae singer sporting a long back haircut while Mr. Italy is an IT specialist sporting a clean, crisp corporate look.
Both guys have been spending time for me. Mr. Brazil even tries his best to improve his English language skills to keep in touch. He even buys credits just to call me on my mobile. On the other hand, Mr. Italy, who's currently in my country, kept me company when I was sick and is asking for an opportunity to meet up on person.
Both guys are charismatic. They are so fun to talk to and I admit that I truly enjoy the attention I'm getting.
However, I'm torn. My mind is going against my heart. Should I take a risk and give love a chance? Am I in for serious trouble once I open my heart to this? What are the chances that this is for real? And the best question of it all is, do they share the same belief as I do that God gave Jesus to us to die on the cross and save us from our sins?
These are yet to be answered... I am anxious to know. Could this be it or is this just another addition to my long list of male companions?Jamie Annehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05593789868666748088noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2853570067377089622.post-2107885068115965352010-06-27T11:14:00.001+08:002010-06-27T11:14:38.724+08:00The Three Magical Words"There's only 1 thing 2 say, 3 words, only 4 you -- I love you..."
That's a line from Plain White T's 1234 song (I hope I got the title right). Yes, I am inspired. I am wearing this funny smile on my face. I am loved.
It's amazing how these 3 words, I Love You, could bring so much love, joy, and encouragement to people. These words are so strong that it lifts the heavy burdens and feelings that one has been keeping inside the heart.
If only we would all realize the power of love, then, things would be a little better. God has put love in u for us to edify one another and be the source of joy of the people around us.
Be that source today. Spread the love. Share the love that God has for us. Anyway, God really intended us to love one another. ;)Jamie Annehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05593789868666748088noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2853570067377089622.post-78207528954208158412010-06-26T19:42:00.001+08:002010-06-26T19:42:38.377+08:00l o v eIt's good to love and be loved in return.<br />
He said I love you yesterday!<br />
I'm flattered.<br />
The thing is, "do I truly love him back?"Jamie Annehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05593789868666748088noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2853570067377089622.post-68832061866967890512010-06-17T06:54:00.001+08:002010-06-17T06:54:37.502+08:00Keep PlantingTeaching is an ungrateful job. We do not see the end or outcome of what we have planted. Remember that we have to continue to keep planting because God tasked us to do so. It is not the people around us who will crown our efforts, it is God who will reward us. When we feel taken for granted, be thankful always because gratefulness is a gift from God. When we're exhausted and feeling low, remember to keep planting seeds and be consistent in fulfilling our calling... Plus Note to self: be more grateful everyday!

Okay, this would be another quick post. I went out of my room a few seconds ago. The light in our living room was lit so I checked it out. Found my mom in front of the laptop clicking the mouse away. Since I am no longer wearing my contacts, it's difficult for me to decipher the blurry images on the laptop screen. So, I went near her only to find out that she was playing solitaire. Nice one, mom. Staying up late for a game of solitaire.... Hmmmm... :)) tsss so much for working seriously Jamie Annehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05593789868666748088noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2853570067377089622.post-61528485359703369772010-06-16T20:57:00.001+08:002010-06-16T20:57:28.706+08:00Once in a LifetimeI just had to blog about this boo-boo...<br /><br />This morning, I accidentally ironed my left pointer finger and middle finger. Talk about SMART! :)) lol.

I was a bit in denial earlier but now I'm sure that I'm scared of thunder. Yeah, I know it's but sound. Fact remains that my heart skip / bungee jump big time from my chest when I hear the thunder!<br /><br />Been through a lot today. School year 2010- 2011 finally commenced today. I stood up most of the time and I started my day kind of unprepared. Thank God, I survived this day.<br /><br />Back at home, everyone has a tantrum / thing against each other. Yeah, it's one of those days when you simply opt to shut up and avoid each other so as not to provoke each other. Yeah, talk about a day full of challenges.<br /><br />Anyway, time check: it's already 9:09pm and I'm tucked in my bed. Off to dreamland I go with the hopes that tomorrow will be way better than today. Jamie Annehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05593789868666748088noreply@blogger.com0
