live, love and be grateful!: March 2013

just one drop!

Lloyd and I both love the artist Plumb. Actually, he loved her first. Before I just knew she had just one song, Real. Until Lloyd and I did our first project, an AVP for their Christian Life Program, when he used God-Shaped Hole for the bed music. I fell in love with her music at once! She's not just any pop/alternative rock artist. She's a Christian contemporary singer/songwriter, and most of her songs are inspirational, to which everyone can relate and reflect. :)

So while browsing Soundcloud, I learned that she has just released a new album this year (the last was back in 2007) entitled Need You Now. All 13 tracks are inspirational songs, with a touch of rock. (yeah, girls rock!) I've been playing it while at work for a week now, and it just helps me keep an inspired and prayerful mood despite all the stress around. My current favorite is One Drop, to which the intro sounds like a facial cream commercial. hehe. I listened to the lyrics, and hey, and I want this to be a bed music for a wedding AVP! Our prenup, perhaps, since we both love the singer anyway. :) I suddenly wanted that this would be the wedding mood: happy, laid back, sweet. I guess it comes with the planning that every song you listen to suddenly gives you wedding ideas. hehe. Well anyway, while I thought it's another love song, I checked on youtube for its video, and lo, it's actually a campaign song for a cause. Love and Mission! Awesome!

ONE DROP

Plumb

I need you and you need me

Left alone we will never be who we could be

So take my hand and don't forget

We can do anything together!

Chorus:

Oh, oh, oh,

Just one drop of your love

A single ray of sun

Just one thing to change the world!

It's just you and me starting with a dream

And giving all you've got

Only takes one drop!

Oh, oh, oh, only takes one drop!

Only takes one drop

Only takes one drop

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Come with me now, look and see how

There's an ocean overflowing with our hopes!

So let's jump in and take us in this

You and me yeah, forever!

Chorus:

Oh, oh, oh,

I need you and you need me

We can do anything together!

Chorus:

Oh, oh, oh,

Coming soon!

Technology has really gone a loooong way. These days, creating your spot on the Web allows you to communicate to a bigger world. Almost every company, product, cause, personality, organization has either its own Facebook and Twitter accounts, and/or even own websites. The Internet has been one effective source of getting, and cascading information to many.

That being said, the internet has also been one effective way of evangelization. Being our mission to let more people know about Christ, Singles for Christ - Laguna is gonna get online real soon. And I'm honored to be part of it. Although I have not attended any planning or ongoing meetings, I feel so blessed and privileged to have been tapped by Sis Tets to be part of the editorial team. And I suddenly missed my college days, with how my professors blotted my papers with pencil, or worse, red pens. Hehe. :)

So, I'm excited, not only for this new service/task that I am assigned to. I have started checking some of the articles, and I myself felt blessed reading the stories that my brothers and sisters are to share, and it's just exciting that more people will be blessed by their stories, too. I'm more than ecstatic to let people experience Christ with stories of love and hope, and with that, allowing them to be blessed as well. Beyond the articles that we will share, it is sharing Christ to others through this website that I just can't wait to start with.

Tell the world that Jesus lives!

one fine Sunday at Nuvali

To celebrate Kuya Maic's (who's working as a seaman) birthday, Kuya Noel took us to Nuvali for a family picnic this one fine Sunday. Para rin daw maipasyal namin ang two little boys ni Kuya Maic and of course to relax and breathe some fresh air and have some awesome fun.
