Greatest Gifts

Greatest Gifts.


Every year, there is always those moments or special days that we get to receive presents from different people. From a family member, friend, and from God.
There are different kinds of gifts that we receive in life, something that is tangible and intangible.
Have you ever thought that the most expensive gifts that can be given are the ones that are intangible? Something that cannot be seen, smell, hear, touch or taste.

Hello Reader! So this blog post was suggested by a friend of mine from MSU Marawi(AB English), and to be honest, I have no idea what to write. Thanks Sir R for giving me this suggestion that made me brainstorm real hard. This almost cracked my brain. *insert peace sign?*

We all have those people in our lives who reminds us that when it comes to gifts, it is the thought that counts. But we can't deny the fact that there are times that the gifts that we receive are sometimes stupid. That person demands for something brand new and expensive, but they fail to even make an effort to give you a gift that has sincerity.

Gifts should not be about demanding for something what you want, it's about being selfless enough to think of others. It's not about receiving, but about giving and be thankful. Not about material things, but about intangible things, which are much more memorable and meaningful.

So I dare you to take this moment to thank every intangible things that you have received this year. Especially the ones from God, and that is His gift of salvation for you, that was not earned by good works, but by grace that you have been saved through faith. Salvation is a gift from God and is waiting to be claim in faith.

For me, intangible gifts will always be the greatest gift in this world.
God's love will always be the greatest gift that I have received everyday. So I am thankful that God hasn't let go of me, even though I am a sinner. He saved me and continues to amaze me with things that are beyond what I deserve for myself...

Reader, I hope this year and the years to follow, you will always learn to smile and be inspired.
In times when the world would try and bring you down, that will make you fall to the ground, I hope that you will always have the courage to stand up, rise up and shine again.

I am inspired to continue this blog because of you.
I'm thankful that every time I am in a dark room, writing with all my heart, behind every screen, someone is reading what I wrote.. Thank you. You are also one of the greatest gifts I have this year.

"The quality of the gift depends on the sincerity of the giver."

Merry Christmas!

Best Part Of Me.

When people ask me, "What is your favorite day of the week?", my answer will always be "Sunday" which is a day with God. The rest are "Stressdays". A day that I would spend my time listening to lectures at School, or maybe doing an activity at School. I'm not complaining, I love School! But we can't forget the fact that the day ends with tired-panda-eyes. When I get home from School, I would be greeted by house chores! There is almost no time for myself, when I wake up in the morning, I would never have the "yay" feeling for choosing what to wear for School. A shirt and jeans matched with hackneyed sneakers would be fine, but isn't that way too boring? I don't know what your side is, but to me Fashion is suppose to be in my best friend. A quote by Nina Garcia, made me realize the "power" of accessories. It can either make or break a look. Few days ago, two people gave me this boring bracelets. ...

It is the window frame. Brows frames a person's face. Our brows help express what we feel. We can sometimes read other people's emotion through observing the movement of their eyes and brows. Here are some of the example: Can you even imagine everyone in the world having no brows? In our present time, thick and on fleek brows are on trend. Lucky to those who are born with thick brows. And rest in peace to those who are not. Just kidding! Thanks to the person who invented make-up, those people who are not born with great eyebrows can achieve great brows. Okay let's fast forward. I know some of you would think that I'm encouraging girls to wear make-up instead of inspiring them to love who they are without make-up. I'm ...

Haters?

"Haters?" ft. REAL TALK Hi to my lovely, amazing, beautiful, handsome, and wonderful readers ! *kiss kiss emoji* So, this is going to be an early update, wasn't really expecting this to happen. So I heard the news from my cousin few minutes after my latest blog update last night. I found out that some people were bashing her on Facebook, through chat and post. Yes, it is very immature to do such a thing. I didn't wan't to defend her in a way would make me a bad example, but I wasn't really able to hold myself to stay down because, well, first of all, she is my cousin, she's part of the family. My cousin and I are cousins by blood, but best friends by choice. So I was the one who replied to all the trash, honestly, I knew I went too far and it wasn't smart to do such act. I sincerely apologize to those who have read my trashy post on Facebook. It was really wrong to do it. I also felt guilty because yesterday I posted a v...
