Scholarships For Minorities

Wow! It has been a while since I posted my last one. Blame it to my work schedule. I don’t like it either, but got to do what is assigned to me. I hate this schedule because it left me no more time to do some things that I need to do in the house, getting online and to do my project, too. I’m now like eat… work… eat… sleep… and vice versa. This has been like this for two weeks already. I just wonder what will happen if I go to College? Where will I get the extra time that I need to study? I don’t know. Well, maybe something will work out for me then.

Yeah, I am thinking of going to college, but not after my husband will be done with his. He will be over in a year, I think. Then, it will be my turn. May God bless our endeavors and dreams. We are just a couple who want to spend our life doing what we love to do… and in service to the mankind. As the quote says, “Find a job you love and you will never have to work another day in your life.”

Looking forward, I know it will be hard for us financially if I go to college right after my husband finish his, especially if he can’t land on his dream job right away and maybe I have to quit my job, too. I don’t know. Probably, I will consider the scholarship grants available around.

Well, I did my homework, and here is the website that I just found out; SchoolScholarships.com. It provides college scholarships and financial aid information to students completely free. Useful tips and advice to help students earn scholarships and grants for college are also available on this website. As I was reading through their page, I learned a lot of information regarding this matter and their qualifications as well. With so many websites about scholarships and financial aid that I had visited, this is so far the one that gives it away in the easiest way. To top it all, I believe this website gives special attention to minorities. They stated that scholarship for left handed people is available in their website. That is just one of the minorities. I said to myself, what is wrong with being left-handed, and I found out that there is only one school that offers scholarship to left-handed people and that is in Pennsylvania. I think that's weird. It also includes African American scholarships . And if you are a medical undergraduate, and looking for scholarship to continue your studies, their pre-med scholarships is for you. These and more… just visit their website to learn more about this.

Carry Your Laptop In A Fashionable Way

My Philippine trip 2010 back and forth was a very beautiful experience except for one thing, I was carrying a big back pack with the laptop in it and it wore me down to the point that I wished I didn’t do it at all. Well, of course, carrying that laptop with me was a must because I needed it, but I just wished that I had smaller back pack and it would have been lesser burden than I had… or maybe should I say that I wished I found this laptop bag way before my Philippine trip 2010. It surely would have been a perfect travel experience without the burden of the heavy weight on my shoulder.

This standard commuter laptop bag is perfect for commuting, whether on bike, foot, train, scooter or on plane. It is stylish and made of high quality materials that build to last with pockets and organizational nooks including a removable sleeve that holds up to a 15” laptop. It is a stand-up design with built-in water bottle holders and waterproof liner. What else could I look for a laptop bag when there’s nothing that can be better than this? Well, I guess I can be pretty sure that my next long distance trip will be a comfortable one with this laptop with me. Bring it on then. Carry your laptop in a fashionable way.

Losing The Key - To The Glory Of God's Name (Update)

May everybody have a blessed Sunday today as I do have.
.
This post is an update about the key that was lost few days ago. It is still in the state of "lost" right now. It has not been retrieve yet. However, I believe that it will in His perfect time.
.
My employers keep inquiring me if I found they key yet and I feel sorry that I have to give them the sad reply "NOT YET" to it. I could have faked it by making a duplicate of the key because they gave me another one, and it would have make them happy and relieved that the key has been retrieved, and it will do good on my part, too, but... this is not how God wants it to happen. Absolutely not! God definitely don't need my manipulative help to save His name. My two boss and I were praying together, with joined hands, that they key will be retrieve, and faking the divine answer would be a blasphemy in God's holy name. Well, we did our part. We prayed and trust in Him that He will answer our prayer because we have faith that this is not impossible to Him, His part is to answer our prayer, and He takes pleasure in doing so... in His perfect time. So, here I am, living in faith every minute of my day, praying that the key will soon be retrieve... to relieve my employers... and above all, to the glory of God's mighty and powerful name for this is all about Him.
.
“Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.” (Matthew 18:20 NIV)

Faster internet connection is very important to me because I do a lot of things at the same time.

Losing The Key - To The Glory Of God's Name

Few minutes before I had to close the store, I was going to grab the key from my pouch and found out that it was not there. I was worried. What should I do? I called my husband to have him try to look around our house, and after several minutes, he called me back to tell me that he could'nt find it. I started to feel frantic. I didn't want to bother my employer which must have rested already by then, but I got no choice but to call them and let them know the situation I was in.
.
The moment I arrived home, I was looking all over the places. I can't find it. I don't understand how it happened, because I thought I was always very careful in everything especially when it is related to work. It was almost 2 o'clock in the morning when I decided to sleep it off, with the hope that by morning I will find it. So, the following day, I started looking for it again, and no result. I prayed. God's answer was "Stay calm. This is my work. Have faith in me." By saying, "have faith", God did not mean to have faith and the key will be retrieve. What God was trying to tell me was that whatever will happen, there is nothing to worry because this is God's activities, using my life, all for the glory of His name. So, I declared that I am living by FAITH right now. No "why's". No "but's". Just "Yes, Lord." After all, He is the best architect, the best engineer, the best designer, and to top these all, His service is FREE. All He need from us is our FAITH. (Hard, huh? I know.)
.
I talked to my employers about it, that I can't find it. They give me a temporary one, but told me that I still have to keep looking for it. My one employer told me to pray about it. "I did." They told me that sometimes it takes a while before it can be retrieved. My other employer decided that we all pray together for it right then at the spot. He led the prayer that the key will be retrieve soon, and while he prayed, I begin to understood why God causes this thing to happen to me. His purpose was to unite my two employers and I in prayer, in believing that God answers prayer and that He is awesome. You see? This give glory to His name! Praise God!
.
I will still keep looking for the key all over our house though, and maybe in our car, too. It will not matter to me anymore if I can find it or not, because I know that God is concern about His own credibility, and He'll take care of that. The thing that matters to me most is that the purpose on why this problem occurs is being served to the glory of His holy name.

Happy Valentines Day

As I was making the big sign for our store prior to the Valentine's Day few weeks ago, my boss asked me, "What is the Valentine's Day about?". I was stammering. I can give him answer but I am not sure of the right answer for that question. He then told me about the Valentine's Day 1929 Massacre in Chicago, that the mob were bathed in their own blood which was believed that was led by Al Capone; America's best known gangster and the single greatest symbol of the collapse of law and order in the United States during the 1920s Prohibition era. He lost me there. I was just listening, but I don't understand what it has to do with Valentine's day other than the fact that it happened on Valentine's Day.
.
Anyhow, whatever is the story behind this Valentine's Day, I am happy that this was created because I believe that some people who were not naturally loving in a daily basis, are trying to show some love on this day just for the sake of it. Knowing that this is a worldwide event, it is a good thing to know that on this day, it is LOVE that prevail everywhere on this earth.
.
However, sad to say that there are some people behind evil thoughts were trying to spread horrible things on this day, just like this one that I mentioned above. We also have similar stories in the Philippines.
.
To those people who don't show their love in a regular basis, take this chance to say your love to somebody. Although it is true that action speaks louder than voice, but sometimes words are sweeter to our hearts. Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

My Favorite Part Of Babysitting

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Boudreaux's Butt Paste. All opinions are 100% mine.

My friend from Michigan visited us today. It was a wonderful time having them over dinner, catching up with the several months that we haven’t heard from each other. She was the first Filipino that I met and became friends when I was still in Michigan. She is very thoughtful that she always made something to prevent me from being homesick. She and her husband are very nice persons that it made me feel so bless to know them personally. God had blessed them, too. They just had their first baby and are both very passionate about taking care of him.

While I was playing with their baby girl, I realized that I miss having a baby to take care of. I spent most of my teens’ and twenties’ taking care of my nephews and nieces. I love all of them and I was taking care of them as if they were mine. My brothers and sisters were happy and comfortable having me as their children’s babysitter because they know that they children were very well taken care of. My favorite part of babysitting was bathing them, dressing them up and making sure that they are comfortable. Boudreaux's Butt Paste was one of the must-have supplies (and made sure that I don’t run out of it) to make them stay comfortable and away from diaper rash which is the number one that causes discomfort to babies. This has been proven effective and has been the favorite of millions of moms since the production of this. FYI, Boudreaux’s Butt Paste was specifically formulated by a pharmacist with direction from a respected pediatrician to provide effective diaper rash care, and that is why it is recommended by the pediatrician because they know its quality.

If you haven’t tried this product on your babies, I guess you missed the most beautiful thing about baby care. I suggest that you visit their site to receive your own free sample of Boudreaux’s Butt Paste. Try it on your babies and see to yourself its great performance. They are available in convenient sizes that you can carry wherever you go. It is a worry-free product because it got pleasant scent and skin protectant, with 16% zinc oxide and Peruvian balsam that gently treats diaper rashes and soothes irritated skin. This is very popular that this has been featured in Oprah Show, Tonight Show and many other favorite talk shows. Grab them now. 

True Grit (2010)

Few weeks ago, my Dad-in-law took us all to a movie theater and he picked "True Grit" for us to watch. Well, you can't complain because it was his treat. On the positive angle, I love country theme movies, and I was not at all bored with the movie. However, the movie ended up great, and we all left happy and satisfied.
.
Let me give you a brief review about the movie, and maybe it will stir up something in you that will make you decide to watch it anyway. A 14-year old farm girl Mattie Ross was following the murder of her father, and hired Rooster Cogburn, the toughest U.S. marshal she can find to aid her. He is the man with "true grit", whose drinking, sloth, and generally reprobate character do not augment her faith in him. Against his wishes, she joins him in his trek into the Indian Nations in search of Tom Chaney, the man who murdered her father. They are joined by Texas Ranger LaBoeuf, who wants Chaney for his own purposes. The unlikely trio find danger and surprises on the journey, and each has his or her "grit" tested.
.
One of the things that really impress me with this movie is the very outstanding act of the newcomer Hailee Stenifeld (Mattie Ross). She totally beat out 15,000 other girls in the movie industry . Commentators said that their uses of accents and language is what made the True Grit sounds completely authentic and came up very prominent. To top it all, I also love their soundtrack which is the "Leaning On The Everlasting Arms". I started falling in love with this song when Twila Paris sung this. Of course, they revise it again on this movie, and that was why I had a little doubt when I first heard the instrumental. Although it was only instrumental throughout the show time, but it confirmed itself at the end of the movie, and I believe that it added spice to it.

Why Pay More When You Can Pay Less?

One more sleep and we will be on our way to car shopping. Yay! This should be fun. I was thinking, if we consider purchasing a new car, then, we should consider, too, getting car insurance. I am glad that I am not in the Philippines where vehicles on the road are running like crazy. If you are a Filipino or if you have been to the Philippines, you know what I am talking about.

The car insurance that my husband is paying right now is very costly, and wished he can find cheaper one for both of us. Well, as he said, that pretty much all the car insurance rate are with the same price that he have. Or maybe he just didn’t look around thoroughly. Well, what can I expect from him. My husband don’t like shopping, either actual or online, and that is why if he needs something, he always buy the first to pop up. It is only a matter of comparing and that is what he hates to do. Well, I guess this is gonna be my task now.

Here is the cheap car insurance Lincoln. They give you options such as Eligibility for Discounts. The first one in line is the Safe Driver Discount which is perfect for my husband. I am so proud to say (and God bless him always) that my husband is a very safe driver. He is always careful, and I am praying that it will stay that way, and that God’s traveling mercy be with him always. Well, I am going to show this program to him, and maybe he will make up his mind to give up his current insurance and switch on this.

Are you paying too much on your car insurance, too? It is about time that you ask yourself, "Why pay more when you can pay less?"Try what I just did. Check your eligibility for discounts, and who knows, they will cut the price you been paying in half. Whoo! That would be a whole lot of savings there.

Thankful Thursday - Let The Thanksgiving Overflow

It is Thankful Thursday once again. This is a big opportunity to us, Christian bloggers to give glory to our God in the form of thanksgiving because He deserves this. Let me highlight to you this bible verse:
.
"All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God." 2 Corinthians 4:15 NIV
.
...*I thank God for the protection and provision He bestowed on us every single day in our life.
...*I thank God for all my sponsors that enables me to keep earning here in my blog.
...*I thank God for all my blog's visitors and commentors.
...*I thank God for the sponsored opportunities that I received all through these days.
...*I thank God that my husband is doing good in his class, and is praying that he will stay this way until the end of his studies.
...*I thank God for the job He gave to me along with the skills and talent that he gave me and become useful in the present.
...*I thank God for His grace that sustains to my husband and I day by day.
And many, many more. Let us all remember that we can not ran out of things to be thankful for. Being thankful to God will drive Satan away.
