This has been crazy awful for me. My friend and i have been looking for places to live; we have found a few that we like but there are other variables we have to analyze. Think of this, i am a psychologist and statistician, and everytime i come up with more variables to analyzi. i am greatful that mi friend is able to provide with plan B, but i also want the other variables to say yes or not. needing to have something by Friday i hope it will be better soon.
or plan B will have to be taken.

Cook and skill
i was going to cook the other day, pasta with some chicken and a four or three chees salsa. i could not do what i wanted. i hate it! i was not able to do it because my father wanted do direct and saying stuff. At the end, i did not cook what i wanted to cook but i became the helper. i started to wash the dishes and adjusting the heath for the pasta; that was it. i appreciate the help of my father, do not get me wrong on that. i just complaining, yes it is a complaing to nobody. i did not do what i wanted to do, so how am i suspposed to know what i can cook and i like to cook?

Twist!
i have not written because i have been busy, reading books, hanging out with friends in distress and just to have fun. i have not forgotten this place where i can put my head, but i can say that i am not the same as the one who started writing here.
There was a small twist in the direction of my life, i like it though, i was going to study for the GRE and i have not started yet. lol i need to check on that, second my house situation is getting some how tight but still better. There will be a place one and i will be happy. i have not been moody at all and that is for saying something!!!
i have realize that i have to love my friends and family just they way the are and not the idealized picture of them i created when i met them. See a lot of things have happened but i cannot find the words to describe them.
i was thinking about my future children, and still i have no candidate for mother hahahahaah.
Well that will come eventually there is something important and is called present, i have something else to focus now, and is the Will of God on my life. So many question but as i tweet the other day.
Well, i know that God is with me and nothing against me shal prevail.
See ya!!!

"i have realized that is not God whom i have to question, but me." H.S.Yeah, sometimes we wonders so much about question God for what happens in out life that we forget that it might be the consequences of sin; our own bad choices or something else, and attack from the enemy. Locking us as Targets!
Well, i know that God is with me and nothing against me shal prevail.
See ya!!!

Healthy Eater
Salad at Beef 'O' Brady's.
Yes, sir i got a salad at this so tempting restaurant. i like to eat a burger time to time. i love five guys. i normally eat salad and all this happens due to my change in culture when i came here.
i normally do not eat meat the comes from cow, and pork. i eat chicken / turkey mostly, fish when there is, and time to time horse meat. i have never liked cow meat; it is hard for me to swallow it. i remember those days when my mom used beef or others cuts from the cow and i have to eat them i was like a minute chewing each bite, and still my throat could not get open to swallow it. it was very painful i needed concentration; it was like my brain and throat had to do an agreement: "Now you can!! ups!! Time's up! wait for the next alienation of the planets" my throat said [thankfully there is no Pluto now, i miss it though]. Well that explain my hate for cow meat, also i do not like pork because it is pork!! it has a lot of fat.
Since i reach puberty, i always wanted to get lean, not muscular, but lean. Being able to show muscle without being all bulky. i am small so it will not look good if i get all bulky. i got a membership in a gym when i was on seventh grade, the plan was to do some exercise to get taller even though people said it did not work. i know it worked. i would be way smaller. But during this period i got lean but there was something missing! a six pack. Yes, that was the only thing i was missing!! well i went to high school and i lose all that i have obtained on my eight grade. i became slim. not fat but soft. skinny soft.
it was not until i came here and i was able to start going to the gym that i became to get lean again and i strive for my desired six pack; reading a lot of magazines about it, feeling frustrated when i was not able to go to the gym for a while, and i thought i lost all my progress. it was hard, seeing in others people body the body i wanted .lol. [now that i read it; it sounds so silly and immature]. i learned that i have to eat more food with fiber, and also more "lean meat," which i call bird meat-chicken and turkey. i started eating more vegetables and more chicken, less fat and butter; i did more cardio and all that suff.
i have been doing this for so long that it is a habit going to a place and look at the salad menu. Time to time i get something else to eat a burger from "Five Guys " [water is meltin'] well i have to say i get hungry sometimes, like every other five days. So i went to "Beef 'O' Brady's" and got my salad. i am all sweaty because i did P90X, and dang it! i make me work a lot, i need a shower but i will do a few crunches on my Swiss ball.
Now, i am the owner of a kinda-sort-of-like a six pack...

Time has passed, but nothing has changed.
Here i am again; a lot has happened that i can talk or in this case write. At most, i have read a few good books from which i need to make a reviews. Books books. My life has been the same, but i am learning to have a little more distance and be more independent in moments of solitude. It is hard now to be alone a not to think in a depresive way. i want to be a better person. i want to hang out with my friends but it is hard no to get independent; i chose to give opportunities, but not pushing them. if they want to take it they can if not. i will be no waiting i have waiting my whole life. Patience, i have, but i am tired of the things that people do; when they have questions or iquitudes, they should find them. They do not want to move, not my fault.
i thought the other day in one of my tweets:
i thought the other day in one of my tweets:
There are options in life, you can complain and stay where you are or, you can find a change for your complainment. well that is, the receptionist is here i shall give place to her."A person who doesn't give up, doesn't give up. A person who gives up, gives up too soon." Nachothinks

Straight Answer
We were playing bowling and pool, with my friends and one asked my a few questions, since he is actually my friend's brother and we soon live together, i never gave him a straight answer. He did not like it, but it did not bother him. He just found it funny.
i wonder sometimes when i come to ask God for a few answers; He does never answer straight. i realized that neither i like to give straight answer. i have to say i did not get this from Yoda. i have to confess i have never seen star wars. i know Yoda and Dark Vader because they are the main characters... [?]
Well coming back to the topic, there is three reason of why i think God does not want to give us straight answers: How badly do we really need or want the answer, Faith, and value.
Faith.
If God gives us the answer to everything we ask, were does faith fit in the world? what purpose would it have? There would be not much trust since the straight answer would change us the focus.
How bad do You want it.
Second part, if you want an answer so badly would you only ask for it once or more than once. it would push it to seek God more and more. We are humans we get what we need and then we walk away til we need more.
i created this blog because a friend told me to keep fighting for my dreams. i created and start fighting for my dream. He, then, asked me if i can give him my blog web address. i said no if he really wanted to know he would be able to find it [since i checked it on his computer, it was on the browser history]; a few days later, i give it to him. which bring us to my next point.
Value.
Third, there is no straight answer any more from me because if one really want to have something one would get it no matter what, and with no-straight answer he or she would fight even more.
If one gets things so easily, there will be no value for them. i mean in the way that that person has never put effort in something and think that everything in life should be easy. i had many relationships and i make them feel very bad, broke their hearts, once, twice, three times. . . since it was easy for me to change from relationship to relationship i did not care much. i realized very late how bad i hurt them. Now, i want them to have their vengeance on me if they want it, i will not run from them.
Like David said "I will not take in offering to God something that did not cost me." well normally i would have put the bible verse, but did not find it. i might comment on another post.
Later!!!

Jokes, Bouncing Balls, and Pi (3)
Friends and i went to Zaxby's the other day. One thing i like of these restaurant or fast food places is the decoration. i enjoy it very much. So i decided to take some pictures of Zaxby's a traffic light.
Then in found this little dispenser machine just like the ones in the picture but round, and it has more round inside. Just, bouncing balls were inside. i remember the movie men in black II where the galaxy is in Orion's collar. This bouncing balls made me remember it. just because these little things look so familiar, and they are so cute. i used to put it on my mouth... .lol. i was silly, i meant sillier when i was a kid.
So i took two (2) pictures of it and decided to put them in here.
Then we went to eat, and a conversation about jokes and pi (3, i would put

but i like to round to the closest whole number, so it's 3 for me) made it here. We talked about favorite jokes, and i went blank. i do not posses favorite jokes. i know a few, very few of them. i mostly enjoy chemistry jokes, math jokes, and above all stats jokes. i do not share about this with anybody. It just happened that i decides share it with the whole world just now. i remember the last one. .lol.
There is the Easter Bonny, Santa Claus, and a Happy Woman. They jump from a building. Who land first? . . . No one, those three are not real.
Joke courtesy of a friend. there would be no name for anybody, and many of names for anonymous.

Drama
since i moved here, i have been in many dating sites. .lol. what a shame!!!! hahaha well i have learned a lot in there. Most people in those sites ask for a relationship with no drama. i agreed once i want a life with no drama, quiet, simple. i normally look for simple things in life that i can enjoy with the least drama possible. i also recognize that with no drama i shall not worry much. just waking up each day, go to work and head home, or church according to the day of the week. just chilling out in my life.
Boy! Girl! Wrong i was!!!!
If my life was with no drama, would really be a perfect life? not to worry about anything, just living, knowing that there is nothing to worry about. Now that i think of these it does sounds a little boring after a while.
i want drama in my life! i want to cry when things does not work, i want to be exited when things work. i want to be hungry on some days and i want to be satisfied others. i want to get hurt and heal, i want to be there when a friend needs it, i want a friend be there when i need it. i want life to hit me hard and i want it to treat me softly. i shall not trust in the monotonous of my life; i shall not trust in the security of my insurance [which is technically zero], neither in my studies.
WHY!?
Because if my life does not have hard moments i will not seek Him, if my life was plain each day and it would have no worries i would not try to get closer to Him. i want my life to get closer and closer each day and in each moment. i want my life to be drawn to Him. With tragedy i shall seek Him, with happy moments i shall be grateful to Him.
Adversity is the way God calls us when we have refused to listen with His soft words.
because i know there would be times in which i will not listen, i want adversity to be reminded that God has control and i depend on Him.

Eskeletor.
Sorry, i have not posted because i have not yet gotten a few stories to talk about it.
Here i am, back; the other day at work we were playing with the skeleton, Henrieta, and we make her pose for this picture. after that she was blushing! did not know that skeletons can blush, even skeletons made of plastic.
Well, i have to say Henrieta is very shy, she does not talk much. But with no vocal cords and lungs i think she should not be able to talk, counting that she is missing her brain too. But well, aren't all of them missing it?
Something that Henrieta does have is a sense of humor. He she was laughing at someone at work.
She is so funny. Okay, Henrieta i finally talk about you on my blog.
You're famous.
Way to go girl.
Disclaimer: i do not know who the heck that dude is; Henrieta knows him (she calls him sweetie). i know Henrieta is a plastic skeleton, and not a human starved to death and we keep the bones though that is what i thought the first time.

King v/s Farmer
Gideon or king Leonidas. Which one would i like to be. I proud king who was defeated, or a farmer man following God's word?
Question is for whose glory one wants to live for?
It's hard to decide because the world tell us that we have to prove ourselves; we have to work hard and to show the world who the heck WE ARE.
But the thing is reality is different. i do not care who i am or what i have done. i care to whose glory i am living for. i chose to be the little farmer man and live hearing God's voice and be lead by Him.
One day king Leonidas will be forgotten, and Gideon's faithfulness will be remember, and his name it is written in a book high in heaven.
Again, whose glory, mine or God's?

Father, is a future for me.
i worry too much about that stuff, i want to be a good one. It's like i miss them already and i have not have them yet.
Father's day is getting closer and closer. i was thinking of being a good father and it has always been in my head since i was in high school. i want to be not just a good father but a father like Him.
There is a song written in my own language that says something like this:
It is hard when most of your family history count being alone and living in a place where you share just the last name. i have seen the family in which i was born falling apart.
i do not want that to my little children. i want to love them, and to hug them, to teach them, love be there for them, i want to make them happy, and show the way of the Lord. i want to be like the last bible verse i put.
i miss them already, even though i have not yet get the chance of meeting them.
is it like the Lord felt when he was creating me?
Feeling like this, missing someone who yes has to live.
God give me the strength to be like You and the Spirit to lead me because my children might want to be like me.

"God, i want to be like You because he wants to be like me."That song has really touched my heart. i want to be a good father to my little children. funny fact his i have no even found the mother of my children. i am so worry about being the best father i can be and be the father my Father wants me to be.

Bible Verse 1 Corinthians 13:4-7
"Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things." 1 Corinthians 13:4-7This is a so called Love chapter; most people think this is a romantic kind of love. They are wrong, half way, this is actually the day to day love. i read a challenge one day and it got my attention. i will explain the challenge later in this note.
i have read this chapter many times, the first part that with no love i am/have nothing. The other part that we are doing pretty much everything in part. One day i will know completely.
It is a hard way to live sometimes when one know he or she is being love, but do not quite feel like it.
This is a powerful verse and the other thing is because God is love: God is Patient, God is kind, God is not arrogant, God rejoices with the truth.
i want to people to do not take this group of verse so light. i think it has been so over used that i has gotten over looked. Let us read it slow again.
The more i read it the more i get convinced that Love is something that will cure all. Thing is Love requires a high sacrifice. i am not doing a good resemblance of love because i lack most of these things.
Here is the challenge i got to do; i recommend readers to take it too.
Read it once more, but instead of reading the word LOVE, read your name into it.
Like this:
H Pee-Zee is patient, H Pee-Zee is kind and is not jealous; H Pee-Zee does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoice with the truth, bears all things, believes all things, hope all things, endures all things. 1 H Pee-Zee 13:4-7
yep! it will take a while, but i will aim at that goal.

Bible Verse Galatians 5:16
"I say then: walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the just of the flesh." Galatians 5:16This is a hard walk, and i have to fight it again my own temptations. i have to remember each morning to pry for holiness in my life, to make the right choice each moment, to say that i want to serve God, be like Jesus, and have communion with the Holy Spirit. i want to walk in the this all the day in all the days of my life.
It is hard; i was just a few minuted ago being temper by just lusting thoughts. i was like "wow, no! i gotta go somewhere. out of this sight." Now i am here back reading this verse and thinking to myself "what shall i do, how shall i proceed; my soul wants one thing and my body another."
They are two completely different and opposing things. One if for glory of the Lord when the other one if for human glory if at all you can call it glory.
i am too small to have glory, to dim in the huge existence of the universe.
My flesh has to be tamed, and i find it hard.
i pray for each morning to be a morning in which i can praise Him. i want to walk i am no longer a slave of sin, but still temptation will arise always. i am free and with the power of God i am able to defeat temptation. i can run and run toward the hands of God or i can run toward temptation hitting into sin.
Walk is a verb, and as a verb it means action. This one specifically is a constant action. When people walk with someone they normally walk next to each other, one does not walk before the other or behind the other. what is the purpose of walking like that. i understand if one is leading the way, but even with that those two can walk together and communicate to know where to go.
Walk with the Spirit that one will have Him next to us. Not too far behind that we loose track if Him, not too far ahead that we won't see where He is going or what is he doing.

Life, Gain, and Lost
Life can give to a human a lot of problems, a lot of happiness and also things to think about and feelings. What has life brought you? For me, i can say that life is unique and not fair but still very enjoyable. i have lost and gained so much that it would be a long post to put it in here. There was a big smile when Erwin was alive, there was a lot of tragedy and sadness after his death His presence.
i love God, and i thanks Him for the good stuff that life brought me, i thanks Him for His infinite wisdom and ability to teach me from the consequences of my own faults.
Like Job said once [i am paraphrasing] "would only expect good from God?"
i am not saying that is God who sent me the bad stuff, but since He is a just God the consequences of my disobedience will come to me eventually.
i have lost so many things, so many people, and so many good opportunities for my own stupidity.
i have gain so many good friends, a good family, experience when i did the good choices.
Here i am writing about the stuff i like, not my own life, experience that i have collected from me and from others.
Life comes with highs and lows. we make it harder than it really needs to be, and still we as humans want to complicate it even more. What do we do after it? Blame the one who is supposed to be blameless. Yes, we blame it on God.
i do not like to blame it on other people. i try to make myself guilty, but i recognize and from a word of my mom "in a relationship of two, both part has the same guilt for the break of the relationship." Paraphrasing since she said it on our own language. Translation is not as easy as it looks.
i recognize that sometimes i brought my own disgrace and my own "bad luck" [do not believe in luck, just coincidence].
Life ain't as bad as it looks, but it also ain't a pretty color.
Life has the color of reality which is sort of bittersweet, everything has a price.
i need to remember of the simple things in life the ones that really bring meaning to life.
Above all not living a life for me but for Someone Else.

Living He Loved Me ~ Casting Crowns (Glorious Days)
One day when Heaven was filled with His praises
One day when sin was as black as could be
Jesus came forth to be born of a virgin
Dwelt among men, my example is He
Word became flesh and the light shined among us
His glory revealed
Living He loved me!
Dying He saved me!
Buried He carried my sins far away!
Rising He justified!
Freely forever!
One day He’s coming!
Oh glorious day!
Oh glorious day
One day they led Him up Calvary’s mountain
One day they nailed Him to die on a tree
Suffering anguish, despised and rejected
Bearing our sins, my Redeemer is He
Hands that healed nations, stretched out on a tree
He took the nails for me!
Living He loved me!
Dying He saved me!
Buried He carried my sins far away!
Rising He justified!
Freely forever!
One day He’s coming!
Oh glorious day!
Oh glorious day!
One day the grave could conceal Him no longerThis song was sung yesterday at my church and i really like it. Each time i heard it, my feet start dancing and my whole body wants to move.
One day the stone rolled away from the door
Then He arose, over death He had conquered
Now is ascended, my Lord evermore
Death could not hold Him, the grave could not keep Him
From rising again
Living He loved me!
Dying He saved me!
Buried He carried my sins far away!
Rising He justified!
Freely forever!
One day He’s coming!
Oh glorious day!
Oh glorious day!
Glorious day!
One day the trumpet will sound for His coming
One day the skies with His glories will shine
Wonderful day, my Beloved One bringing
My Savior Jesus is mine
Living He loved me!
Dying He saved me!
Buried He carried my sins far away!
Rising He justified!
Freely forever!
One day He’s coming!
Oh glorious day!
Oh glorious day!
Glorious day!
Oh glorious day
The part that says Living He Loved me. Every single time and in every moment He was loving me, i was on His mind.
It is a blowing up song and i love it; i would post more about it but i want you to decide it.
and also i am at work.

It's a Family Thing
It is hard for me to recognize my family, sometimes. i love them, but i am not the type of spending much time with them. yes it is a sad story. i have to say my family has been hit hard, very hard and every one of us have hidden in our own little world. we did not planned it; it just happened. it was hard and from that moment each one of us grow independently. it does affect us though, one might be looking for the guilt one, another might be laying on bed and not caring at all, one has not even realized about it, and i lie in the place to do not know what to do, look for change or just keep everything like that.
i want, now, to have a fair good relationship within my family. i know it is going to be hard. very hard, not impossible.
There must be something everyone of us has to do in order to change that.
There must be another option.
It is not late, there is still time.
We need to keep fighting. One day i will have my own family and i will fight for its unity, easiness, love, and strength.
i will not five up in this fight, i hope all of us will one day fight and realize how each one of us is fighting to reach this goal.

The Measure of a Man by Gene A. Getz
Talking about the qualities of a man, and woman also can be addressed, that are described in the book of Titus and also the books of Timothy.
The Measure of a Man showed me how far from the Mature Christian Man i am. i had only one thing left, keep pushing myself to go, to live like Christ.
Here is a list of the qualities it addresses:
- Overall Spiritual Maturity (well rounded man) [it does not mean fat].
- Above Reproach (a man of good repute)
- The Husband of One Wife (morally Pure) [i skip this one, the title did not catch my attention; i am single; j/k]
- Temperate (balanced in words and actions)
- Prudent (wise and humble)
- Respectable (good role model)
- Hospitable (unselfish and generous)
- Able to Teach (communicate sensitively in a non-threatening and non-defensive manner) [i thought coercion was the talking!]
- Not Addicted to Wine (not addicted to substance) [i love wine]
- Not Self-Willed (not self-centered and controlling) [ about controlling. . .]
- Not Quick-Tempered (void of anger that become sinful) [yes, angry aha]
- Not Pugnacious (not abusive)
- Gentle (sensitive, loving, and kind)
- Peaceable (non argumentative and non divisive)
- Free From the Love of Money (non materialistic) [~$. . .]
- Manage His own Household Well (a good husband and a father)
- Loving what is good. (pursues godly activities)
- Just (wise, discerning, non prejudiced, and fair)
- Devout (holy, devoted to God)
- Self Controlled (disciplined)
Strong characteristics, that not only the people from church has to see from one every Sunday Morning. Theses characteristics have to be with us at all the times, inside church, outside church, in the house, and also everywhere. To make myself clear.
Chick-Fil-A on F.I.R.E.
Last Wednesday i stepped in a Chick-Fil-A. It has been a long time i have since my last time. Silly, it is one of my favorite place to eat but i don't go there often. It might be that i normally hang around places where there is not Chick-Fil-A.
i asked for a salad, the southwestern.
The did not have it .... i was like buuuuu, and it always happen when there is not what i want. i do a jigglypuff face. So i had to change for another thing. i got another salad. hahahha.
Well the point in this entry is to share the little thing i found in this table.
A paper extinguisher. It was the advertisement for the new spicy chicken sandwichn and other . i will have it the next time i go there.

Silly Drinking Dog
My friends and i went to graduation party, one of ours friends' brother got graduated from High School.
we went and greet to whole family. There was this little silly female dog. It was cute for be a small dog. i have to clarify that small dogs and i do not mix up much, but well there is also exception to all rules. They were putting music by their X-Box 360. Paying attention to the music and TV singing aloud and we saw the dog drinking from one of their cups. Here is the picture.
Ain't it cute? Well gladly the cup had "H2O," water for the one who did not took chemistry. . . or fail it.
After listening to music we play Dance Central.
One of my favorite games in the X-Box 360, i want it badly but my wallet is smarter than i and tell me to do it way later when the prices go down.
i will need a flat screen too.
So there is a Christmas gift someone can give me.

Forgotten God by Francis Chan
It took me a lot to get and read it.
i did and finished just this past Monday.
Forgotten God is a book that rocked my foundations about the Holy Spirit; it helped me to realize that He is more real and more essential to my life as a Christian. i cannot be a good Christian or even live like one if it wasn't for Him. Based in the book of Acts and some verses from Galatians, and other from the New and old Testament, Forgotten God is not a deep theological book, but it posses the basic knowledge that sometimes we over read about Him. i, now, recognize Him in everything He does. i still try to obey Him and not offend Him with my sins. it challenge my relationship with Him, the Holy Spirit. Recognize He is within me. i am with God always not because He is omnipresent but because He is within me.
i recommend this book with a ten out of five stars.
Bible Verse Galatians 5:22-23
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires." Galatians 5:22-23i was reading this book of which i wan to make a review, but i have not had enough time. When i do have it i do not posses the pic of the cover i took. .lol.
Here we see the fruit of the Spirit basic caracteristics that show love towards other and love to ourselve in a healthy way.
It also says that the ones who are of Christ have crucified the flesh. Each day that i woke up i try to put down the desires of my flesh. all that garbish from my past life i throw them out...
The other thing is that if it is read carefully one might notice that the Bible says "THE FRUIT" it is only one fruit. As it is by one fruit we will achieve all of these. Having the Spirit of the Lord in me encourage me to develop all this characteristics and be one who can be describe in these verses.
i am gonna tell ya! this stuff is hard! when people make you angry, hurt you, loneliness come and surround you, no one listen to you, people look down on you, you think they only feel pity on you.
Again i have to be remembered:
"Even if my father and mother abandon me,This is the only motivation and because God loved me first and still loves me. i choose each day to crucify my flesh and its desires, rise up, worship Him and show up the fruit of the Spirit.
the Lord will hold me close." Psalm 27:10
[What] v/s {Who}
This post is related to something i have been exposed lately. i have been exposed to graduation, and i realized that a lot of people care of what they do and have done. i care of who they are, who as a person. i do not care what they have done. They could have achieved the mount Everest, found the cure for cancer and aids, run the longest marathon, memorize every word on the dictionary. i have to say it requires a lot of discipline to achieve those things, but everyone can discipline themselves.
i try to get to know them first, then to see how "good" they are. i am nobody to say who is good or who is bad.
i can barely say that some people support more to society as for who they are than for what they can do.
when people see you, why do they recognize you, for who you are or for what you have done?
Hard, isn't it?
Because who you are influence what you do and people remember what you have done easily.
Live a life that will make them remember who you are then what you have done based in who you are.

One Way Road, Two Way Road?
Friendship is a word i consider sometimes over use. There is a lot of people i introduce or call friend, but they are just acquaintances. i normally call someone friend if i think that person consider me as a friend and i do not want to hurt them. i recognize i have not been honest to them.
i also categorize my friends and i do not like to mix them much. Church friend, Classmate friends, Work friends, Outside-these-three-groups friends, Chilean friends, and etc friends.
i wanted to write this not mostly to remember myself of the word i once have with me. Yes, i talk to me a lot.; probably if i am not talking to somebody i am talking to me.
Friendship i do consider it a one way road. Reason is because a lot of people tell me that i need to call people friend those who behave well to me. i actually disagree with that thought. i had many friendships and some are weak now, some are getting stronger, some are distant and other are just cold and straight to the point. From some friendships i do learn on other cases i teach in the friendships. It all depends on the situation.
i chose one day to behave as a friend to those who i consider friend, even though; people might not consider me a friend. i am the one who choose to call you friend therefore i am the one who has to behave like a friend. i will never behave as a friend from the moment you choose to call me your friend.
You might think that i am wrong in this thought because if i do not consider you my friend i would be have unfriendly?
Well, not. Because, since the moment we cross a few words i have already chose to call you my friend. It might be a friendship that is going to fast, but i never ask for a friendship to be a two ways road. i have chosen this option because i was call to love, other people as i love myself. i have been called to do good as i can do with all myself. i was taught to go the extra kilometer. i was taught to smile and offer a hand even though i know it will be refused. i was call to be there for whomever needed because there was someone who did this to me first. This comes out of my heart because i saw it from somebody.
He was there every time i need Him; He offered His hands many time and for many times i refuse them. He was always good protected my even though i did not choose to go with Him. i went to places i did not like He was there to be with me.
i learned it from Him.

Mist in the Morning
There is a construction road close by my house; it is one of the roads i use. i have to take a detour and it bring me close to this lake, and one day there was mist above the lake. i got fascinated by it and shoot my cellphone. i was already stop since there was red light and i was several cars behind the light.
Here is the beautiful picture i choose to take.
i like the fact that one can barely see the other side of the bank. i enjoy the mist because it is a really cool place to hide and little by little being found. Also i like the thought of the mist and the Holy Spirit when in Genesis 1:2 talks about Him. Moving above the water. i thought it would look like there was mist above the water and the Spirit would walk, run, dance above it with a enormous quietness.
it is for me a very peaceful thought i use to calm myself when i feel alone.
Funny thing, when one walks into the mist or is already there. One can see nothing; one can see a few light down the road but it is still hard. it would be very depressing to feel alone in the mist since one gets wet and see not much. Even the sound changes when one is inside of it.
Hope you can appreciate it and enjoy the mist every time you see it and/or pass by it.

The Country Best Yougurt
i take out my phone and took a picture of it! i did really like it. The Picture.
The ice cream tasted like. . . mmmmm. . . vanilla or something along the lines but very dull.
i did enjoy my passing by this place since it was my third or second time. Third i think.
this is the story of this little picture.

Completely whole.
Things feel different, but i am glad that i feel a new strength coming within me. Weirdly, it is not mine. It comes from the Holy Spirit. Glad that You live here. The Holy Spirit came after Jesus when He ascended.
i have always wanted to have Jesus next to me. i knew i have the Holy Spirit next to me. Thing is, i never thought that having the Holy Spirit within me was even better than to have Jesus next to me.
It is written and Jesus said it Himself. "It is for your own Good."
i had ignored to Holy Spirit for so long, and so full of confusions, but now i am learning to listen to Him, let Him guide me day by day, having constant communion with Him. It is hard to live a life that is willing to obey Him with all the distraction that are here.
i also feel sort of ashamed that i keep finding excuses; i have the bible, the resurection of Jesus and the Counsel of the Holy Spirit. With all this, i still find it hard to live a life that pleases God?
Let see, Noah, Joseph, Moses, Methuselah or his father Enoch. They all did no t have the Bible, the Law, the death and resurection of Jesus, neither the Holy Spirit as we have acces to all of these.
They walked before God, and God's prescence was with them.
i really feel bad when i see that i just keep finding excuses to do and to not do.

Fountain of many wishes
How many friends i meet in there? when i sat at the edge and see the gypsy's kids swimming and playing in it on summer.
how many people stood next to it to just spend time, the couples passed by hugging each other. mothers with their babies. The typical gentleman with the little hand made horse for the kid to take picture with.
Do not forget the many pigeons that flying around it, from one side to the other when someone threw some food, or just pop corns.
how many times i waited there for friends that did not showed up, but to see the faces of people, living their life with energy, happiness, and stress.
Common faces; faces that showed reality. Student with all their styles from EmO's to gothic, the punk, hardcore, "mateo," and normal. Friendship, love water and birds.
There is also a common character that we need to remember in there, and without him it might be quiet now, and not the same thing. The preacher. Always talking about Heaven and Hell, giving his voice to call people to repentance, giving always the voice of his faith.
how many times i judge him for scaring people, for not showing the God that i believe, God of love and compassion, God of mercy...
At least, that preacher was spreading the gospel. The Gospel of the God i love, in the city i also Love.
i wish one day i can do the same not only for that city i love, but for the people i care about.
Dear Deer Experience
Hello Again!!
To tell you the truth i have never seen a deer til yesterday when i saw three in total.
i said to me friend "i have never seen so mane deer in one day."
she laugh a lot, and she was driving.
they were so small and cute... i wanted to hug them.
but they got scare away and i was not able to take a picture...
that was so sad...
i also remembered the movie where a deer runs towards the car. i do not know the name of the movie, or it could be a commercial so i do not know really what it was...
This is the post about deer, and my life changing experience...

Five Guys
i went to five guys with a friend. He did not know i am a chicken guy; i decided to go with them anyways. i look for a chicken menu and found nothing. i looked, and ask my friend is there any chicken in here. He answered "no" and i was little disappointed for the fact i normally try to eat healthy.
i looked over the menu once more and saw the cheese burger. i asked for it. The cashier looked back at me and said what topics...
i went blank. i should have been used to the fact that there is always some sides or topic i can have for something.
So i answered back "what do you have?"
She pointed and i looked there were only two topics i liked.
"Lettuce and Tomato; and that's it." -- "Cup of water, please." -- "Thank you."
i sat with my friend and i wait for my order.
i got called and went to pick it up. i tasted it and i found love.
Since then, i normally go there, since my friend lives close to it, and normally we are hungry after 2.
i went there and last time i took a picture of my burger... it looked so cute...
it is the cutest burger ever if you got a Five Guys close yo your home or in your city, or withing 50 miles you should definitely do it, get into your car or a friends car or take one, call the cabs 911, or something just to get there.
you can always go there jogging, you will need some exercise to burn those calories, and make some hunger...
BTW i found the recipe for this deliciousness:
Ground beef...
that is ground beef.
it says also human sweat, but i think it might refer to hard work, human hard work.

Since then, i normally go there, since my friend lives close to it, and normally we are hungry after 2.
i went there and last time i took a picture of my burger... it looked so cute...
you can always go there jogging, you will need some exercise to burn those calories, and make some hunger...
BTW i found the recipe for this deliciousness:
Ground beef...
that is ground beef.
it says also human sweat, but i think it might refer to hard work, human hard work.
Spider in a car
With my friend, we were helping out church and we went out to take a break; we sat one a truck and saw this weird spider.i decided to take a picture because i have never seen a green spider before, just spiders that are black or brown, and dark colors but never so green!!
hope you enjoy my finding...

Beach Day
So, yesterday i was bored and did not have planes for today. i sent a few messages to two of my friend of which one responded almost immediately the other one did not respond until three a.m. in the morning.
My friend invited me to the beach, so i went with her. She was leaving at six a.m. So i have to leave the house at like five fifteen a.m.
i did it, thanks to my friend who answered me early that night (? day may be).
i was on my way and she text-ed me saying that there might be some rain. i went a little down, but she said she was still going. i was happy. We made it there at eight thirty a.m. the other thirty minutes spent at a McDonald's that did not posses power. Its power shut down as soon as my friend started ordering at the drive through.
Funny thing, and sad, the cashier was using a calculator and was not able to get the tax in the payment. how much technology can dumb us.
Wah!! i am using technology to write this thing... how sad. i try it not to dumb me down.
Once in the beach we just swim and play inside water volley ball; yes we play hardcore water games.
i was already tan so i decided not to wear sunscreen because i am Latino.
Well, i got red ahahah very red, but still a cool Latino red.
By four, she realized there was going to be a thunders storm, rain, and all that can be on a sunny day at the beach. we headed back, other friends stayed a little too long (days).
On our way back home, the thunderstorm attacked us. The clouds looked so pretty that here i put some more pics of that thunderstorm.

Bible Verse Joshua 3:1 & 6:12 & 8:10
"Then Joshua rose early in the morning; and they set out from Acacia Grove and came to the Jordan, he and all the children of Israel, and lodged there before they crossed over" Joshua 3:1
"And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the LORD." Joshua 6:12
"Then Joshua rose up early in the morning and mustered the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai." Joshua 8:10i was driving today to work, and at the stop light, there was a lady who handle me a paper. She was protesting against a cell phone tower that was going to be erected close to our neighborhood. i am moving soon, hopefully, so i did not pay much attention about the tower. There was something that indeed called my attention. i normally consider myself as a morning person. i like o wake up in the morning and have pretty much all i have to do done by eleven am, or twelve the latest, but usually take my time so it ends close to one if i have a lot to do. Coming back to the topic, this lady was there at 6:45 the time i cross the intersection. i was amused at how she was doing this very early just for a cause that motivated her to do it, a simple cell phone tower. Point is, how many time do we wake up early for the cause of the Lord?
How many of us say that we love the Lord, but we don't even dedicate a morning moment to Him?
When was the last time i woke up early just to read my Bible and to praise Him? i mean praise Him as in give thanks because sometimes we as human rose early in the morning just to ask, like this lady ask for support, and people to fight against the building of the tower.
How little we praise God, for all He has done to us...
Once my Aunt told me, we were talking about people who judge, she said : The only Person who can really judge us, treat us like kings/queens.
God love us so much that HE SENT HIS SON for US, can we at least give HIM a little of our morning?
If You Find Yourself Caught in Love- Belle & Sebastian [Dear Catastrophe Waitress]
If you find yourself caught in loveSince my las post was about relationships; i desired to post this song about being in love. Well, if you know someone who is in love here is a very lovely sarcastic song of love.
Say a prayer to the man above
Thank him for everything you know
You should thank him for every breath you blow
If you find yourself caught in love
Say a prayer to the man above
Thank him for every day you pass
You should Thank him for saving your sorry ass
If you’re single, but looking out
You must raise your prayer to a shout
Another partner must be found
Someone to take your life beyond
Another TV “I Love 1999”
Just one more box of cheapo wine
If you find yourself caught in love
say a prayer to the man above
But If you don’t listen to the voices then my friend
You’ll soon run out of choices
What a pity it would be
You talk of freedom don’t you see
The only freedom that you’ll ever really know
Is written in books from long ago
Give up your will to Him that loves you
Things will change, I’m not saying overnight
You’ve gotta start somewhere
Start by kidding on you care
If you find yourself out of love
Shed a tear for the one you love
Tell your boss that you’ve gone away
Down your tools for a holiday
But If you’re going off to war then I wish you well
But don’t be sore
If I cheer the other team
Killing people’s not my scene
I prefer to give the inhabitants a say
Before you blow their town away
I like to watch them play
I like to marvel at the random beauty of a simple village girl
Why should she be the one who’s killed?
If you find yourself caught in love...
i like the rhytm and the lyrics.
Thank him for everything you know
You should thank him for every breath you blow
This is one of my favorites part of the song; i have to be thanks full for what i have and for what i not.
So nothing else to say more than letting you enjoy the song...

Relationships
I want to have a relationship but i will not have it till i am mature completely. Dang, It's hard.
It is hard to have a relationship; one has to have a lot of committment; responsibilities, and free time to spend with the special one. i have a few relationships and in all of them i ended hurting people than just being hurt. i hurt myself instead of being hurt by someone else. i blame it on them but i know it was not their fault. Even with some friendships i ended hurting and ending frienships. Know, i look at their life and wonder how would they be if at the first place i did not hurt them.
i have always wanted to go back and not hurt people, but guess what... Time only moves forward and it moves fast. Once a word is say; it stay said for ever. Once a moment pass; there is not way back.
i want to not do the stupid mistakes i have done.
It looks like that will take a while. A long while; but i will keep figthing because there is a Great Someone who Strength me every single Day.

Bible Verse, Galatians 4:9
"But now after you have known God, or rather are known by God, how is it that you turn again to the weak and beggarly elements, to which you desire again to be in bondage?" Galatians 4:9i was reading a the same book from where i got the last Bible verse. i got this new quote and made me think about the first sentence second part: ARE KNOWN BY GOD. This is a small phrase. i know God does know everything. i know God knows even the future and mistakes i will make before i made them. i was thinking that in this passages how many times i have overlooked. i want God to know me; to know who i am. i want to have a really deep relationship with God. i want God to look at me and tell me i know you; you're my son. i like that part. i like it so much. Think of this; God in sited on His throne; lean forward and tell to one of the angels. "See that human over there; he is my son and i know him. i love him."
Powerful; yes i want God to know me; more and more. i want to know Him more and more. Each day.
I think that sometimes we just conform ourselves to know little about God. Just enough that we might be saved. But remember. God one day can say to you:
" And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’" Mathew 7:23This is where it gets pretty harsh. God is a God who sees all, knows all, created all. He created us, sees our ways, and knows our hearts. He will not be foolish. i have to say i am very freaked out if on that day God say this. i also have to say that if God tell me this. He knows what He is doing. i desire to live a life of loving Him more and more, than a life motivated by this fear of not being known. One of my friends says one day about a song
"Jesus to Know You more is to Love You more"i do not know who sing the song, and as usual don't care. This lyric is very true. i want to know more of God, but also i want God to know more of me. Like the Moon as in its crescent phase. we can see more and more of its face. i want God to each day know me more and more till, like the moon, i am completely full known by Him. Known by Him due to our relationship, not for His omniscience.
