The Teacher's Diary (THE BEST MOVIE FOR ME)

I AM STILL HIGH!....

I SOOO LOVE THE MOVIE "THE TEACHER'S DIARY (Thailand Movie)...IT KILLS ME and IT MADE ME FEEL ALL THE FEELS IN THE WORLD..

The Teacher's Diary in my opinion (or not only me) is the best drama-comedy movie I've ever watched in my entire life. I laughed, I cried, I got serious, a little bit terrified and surprised as well...This is definitely the most heart-warming, soul-cuddling and emotionally touching movie in ASIA, or can I say THE WHOLE WORLD...

I never felt soooo touched and I really cried hard while watching this movie...Laugh hard too..I cannot understand what I'm feeling right now, you know I just watched it and now I am on my computer and sooo excited to share this HEART-FELT BEST MOVIE OUTBURST. I fell deeply in love with it, like IM SOOOOO IN LOVE WITH IT...



This is a story of two teachers (strangers to each other) teaching rural kids in a remote floating houseboat school. They actually spend the entire of the film apart but walked the same path. These two teachers were Ms. Ann and Mr. Song.

 Ms. Ann became a teacher in the houseboat school (or shall we say she was like exiled to a place in the middle of nowhere by their principal for having a 3 star tattoo on her wrist and she refused to remove it).....Teaching in the remote houseboat school is very HARD as hell, no mobile signal, no electricity, no internet, clogged water, non-safe and infectious water (they even found a dead body floating there) ewww hehehe..Anyways, it's not that gross that was soooo funny actually..

Ms. Ann fell in love with the kids in the said houseboat school, she fell inlove with the place, the way of living and she love teaching there and she's getting used to all the inconvenience. AND SHE HAS A DIARY...






When Mr. Song was assigned by the principal to teach in the houseboat school (eventhough he can only leave there every weekend) he willingly accepted the job because he is soooo desperate to find one. HE IS NOT A SUPER-SMART TEACHER like Ms. Ann, He sucks at MATH and he sucks at teaching and he sucks at finding ways to be an effective mentor, but that was AT FIRST....When he found Ms. Ann's Diary (Ms. Ann was no longer there, that means he's the replacement for Ms. Ann)..The Diary became his inspiration, his bestfriend, his teacher, motivator, and it's like his guidelines for effective teaching. He copied Ms. Ann's styles in teaching based on what she have written in the Diary...Just like Ms. Ann, Mr. Song fell in love with the kids, the place, and everything in there...He realized that being a teacher is not just to teach---you need to be a parent to the kids...







Song was genuinely fascinated by Ann's dedication towards teaching, through her personal thoughts and frustrations while teaching at the school...And from what I've seen in the movie, I think that Mr. Song developed a connection or love to Ms. Ann... He really kept Ms. Ann's Diary, try to retrieve and dried all the pages when the storm tried to take it away...He even wrote on the diary about his experiences with the kids, about how he carried the houseboat school through a small engine boat just to let them experience a first-hand train ride, how he is so desperate to see Ms. Ann, how broken he was and a lot more...



When Ms. Ann came back to the houseboat school, Mr. Song was no longer there. (It was like, the time, the circumstances and the universe conspire to miss their chances of meeting, hehehe, oh schucks sometimes it kills me). Ms. Ann never knew Mr. Song until yeah as what I've said before she came back and hugged the 5 kids, became their teacher again and she found her TADDDDDDDDDDAAAAA, her DIARY!..She then realized that it was read by someone and she saw in her diary Mr. Song's handwritten making his own diary as well (like a continuation story with different authors hehehe)...



Ms. Ann enjoyed reading the Diary (this time Mr. Song's story in her Diary) and again she felt that "SPARK! !" and she hoped to someday meet him (by the way she has a boyfriend, but just watch the movie and you'll find out)


...JUST IMAGINE HOW LOVE MOVES IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS...JUST A PERSONAL DIARY WRITTEN BY MS.ANN, WAS DISCOVERED BY SONG AND THIS CONNECTS THEM TOGETHER.... I SOOOOOO LOVE THIS MOVIE..


Please please watch this movie...

Rest assured, this film will leave you a big smile on your face the moment it ends. Very highly recommended. Two Thumbs up!

My TOP 15 Journey With God Posts For 2014

2014 Journey With God TOP 15 Posts

In life we need encouragements everyday. We need someone or even WORDS that would give us a lift or push perhaps and motivate us to move on with life. Life is a journey. It has a lot of good things to remember, to cherish, but life has a lot of pains too. But if we know that there is SOMEONE somewhere, looking at us with great LOVE, with great mercy and grace I think there is no need for us to worry a lot about what life may throw at us. The most comforting truth is that the feeling remains that GOD is on the journey too....

So here are my TOP 10 posts from my JOURNEY WITH GOD FB page... Check this out..God bless! (Some photos courtesy by Tumblr & Pinterest)





SO LET'S START! ! !


15.   ."have you experienced or experiencing deep lacerations of the heart?---invisible internal injuries no surgeon in the world could detect?.....or perhaps you are moaning and crying from the pain of being misunderstood, mistreated, stabbed by someone's tongue who's talking bad and untruthful things about you?...people might and will never know your pains, but you will...as you endure the piercing....you keep quite and silently bleed..that you your soul can even hear its dripping.......Or probably you are living with scars brought on by past sins and failures, and you can't seem to forget about it eventhough you've already forsaken it..it still lingers"...

BUT...
...those gaping wounds we never thought would close, are gradually being healed with grace and unfailing love...

..(Tucked away in a quite corner of every life are wounds and scars...if they were not there...we would need no PHYSICIAN...we would need no HEALER...we would need no COMFORTER....we would need no SAVIOUR....nor would we need one another---Charles Swindoll)

....from now on, don't let anyone trouble me with these things. For I bear on my body the scars that show I belong to Jesus... (Galatians 6:17)

..WHO HAS NO WOUND NOR SCAR? ? (Charles Swindoll Devotional)





14. .. It is Father's desire to let us know that our lives were not a mistake. In Psalm 139:15-16, it says our frame was not hidden from God in the secret place for He saw our unformed body. He cared enough for each one of us, that He took the time to write down each one of our days in His book. Your yesterday was written in God's book. Your today and tomorrow is also penned by the loving hand of your Heavenly Father. You are not just a number in His eyes, but one that is incredibly unique with a special purpose. You were not an accident, for someone is watching over you who loves you more than you could ever know. (http://www.fathersloveletter.com/Devotionals/10_FLLdevotional.html) 





13. ...Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised..(Proverbs 31:30)

Remember! A beautiful woman without character is like a gold jewel in a pig's nose (Pr 11:22). The beauty of the small jewel cannot make the pig attractive or take away the horrible odor (Pr 27:15-16)!....A wise man will require the fear of the Lord. He will check her love of God, her devotion to Christ, her esteem of Scripture, and her willingness to be taught. He will measure how she takes correction, responds to hard preaching, and makes personal changes to please her Creator. He will look for that extreme devotion to the LORD that will turn to be his greatest asset, when she will love and serve her husband in spite of any troubles at home. He will check her prayer life, not her tan, her spirituality, not her cooking. 





12. "Ground breaking and cultivating the hearts of 100+ children at doljo, to sow seeds of God's Souvereign Word. though we patiently wait for the harvest, one thing that brings all of us hope, that we will reap fruitfully by God's grace." said Evamy Miole Alaban..

11...GOD is righteous in everything He does. He is able and willing to give all the desires of our hearts....With a faithful and genuine heart pray and ask, and believe it will be given unto you....and WHEN YOU PRAY-----PRAY WITH WISDOM..

...Commit everything you do to the Lord. Trust him, and he will help you.He will make your innocence radiate like the dawn, and the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun. (Psalm 37:5-6 NLT)

(During CYCM's Wednesday Fellowship tonight)
 




10. .....Have you ever felt God nudge you to do something that was beyond your ability, experience, or education but talked yourself out of it saying, “The Lord would never ask me to do that.” Very often, that’s exactly what He requires of us because He knows that challenges increase our faith (Heb. 11:6). When, despite our fears and inadequacies, we respond in obedience, God not only equips us for the task but also lifts us up to a new level of faith..




9. Sometimes we get too caught up in finding another human's love that we forget about the most important love we already and will always have, the unconditional one given by God.

"God said: “You don’t have to worry about love. As long as I’m existing, you will be loved.”




8.  "Running away from your problems is a race you'll never win"

....Do you have a problem?...You're smiling at me. "A problem? Would you believe several dozen problems?" ......If you listen to the voices around you , you'll search for a substitute---an escape route...You'll miss the fact that each one of those problems is a God-appointed instructor ready to stretch you and challenge you and deepen your walk with Him. Growth and wisdom await you at the solution of each one, the pain and mess notwithstanding...

~Devotions for Growing Strong in the Seasons of Life by #Charles #Swindoll





7. ."I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live as if there isn't and to die to find out that there is."-Albert Camus.

...God doesn't force himself on anyone. He stands at the door and knocks it is our choice to let Him in or not. Now the trusting is for our own good not His. We will never realize all that He has done for us if we make the choice not to open our hearts and minds to receive His blessings...







6. "There may be pain in the night, But joy comes in the morning."Psalms 30:5

....I know what it's like to suffer overwhelming, emotional, pain. I know what it's like to wake up from a nightmare to a bigger nightmare, unable to do anything about the situation. There have been many times in my life, when every second seemed like an hour, and every hour like a day, and every day like a never ending eternity. At those times, the only friend I had in the world was the Word of God....Only Jesus Christ can make everything right, when life seems so wrong....sooo cry all the pains out, stop storing them inside, let the pains all out, weep, cry--- but don't stay there----rejoice---there's always a light at the end of the tunnel.....




5. ...the world sees only WHAT YOU DO, God sees WHY YOU DO IT...

“God loves you. It doesn't make any difference who you are and what you did. You can't keep Him from loving you. Now you can get into a place where you won't experience the love of God, when you put up an umbrella of sin, the sunshine of God's love sure won't fall on you. But it's still there for you.” (Pastor J. Vernon McGee (1904-1988))
 






4.  When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, 'I used everything you gave me'. "Erma Bombeck"

"Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. 1 Peter 4:10"

HOW DO YOU USE YOURS? ?
You are responsible for the talent that has been entrusted to you...






3. "The only One who can truly satisfy the human heart is the One who made it"...

The heart without God is an empty hole that longs to be filled, but only God can fill the vacuum that exists....Some will come to God through His Son Jesus and find rest, while most will continue their vain attempts to fill the vacuum and satisfy the wicked heart. However, it is never filled. It is never satisfied. It keeps longing for more, and each demand gets greater with time.




2. ....Pressure has a Purpose! ! !..... Some things can only be produced through pressure. A diamond can only be formed through pressure. Gold can only be refined by pressure. If you’re under pressure today, it’s not about what’s happening to you, it’s about what God has put in you and what he’s bringing out of you. 2 Corinthians 12:9 “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”-Rev. Richard C. Whitcomb




1.  When you use your gifts and talents to help other people you discover a greater sense of purpose in life....





HOPE YOU LOVE THE COUNT DOWN! !

"True Love Waits"

"I am sure God keeps no one waiting...Unless He sees it is good for them to wait.." ~ C.S Lewis


                                                (My Tatay Regie and Mama Susan)



.."True love waits, don't settle for anything less than His best" a simple quote yet creates a gargantuan impact and inspiration for those people who chose to wait for God's perfect timing...totally true--it's still best to wait for the one that God has created for us rather than settle for who's available, and for those who's around..




                                            (Pastor Mel and Ate Carolyn)

When God knows that you're ready for the responsibility of commitment, He'll reveal to each one of us the RIGHT PERSON under the RIGHT CIRCUMSTANCES AT THE RIGHT TIME...

Don't waste your time searching--chasing--fantasizing, life is tooo short to waste for the wrong ones..when you're mature enough, you'll be able to adjust, understand and see LOVE in a bigger and wider perspective, you will learn that Love is not only about you, it's not about the two of you either, but it's all about the two of you with God in the midst of it..


Some may call their relationship "complicated", why is it complicated ? and why it should have to be that way anyway? ? . . God doesn't want us to have a "complicated" relationship, He wants the best of it for us, why not try to hand Him down the pen and let Him write your/our LOVE STORY..?





Wait patiently and God will lead your paths to each other and He will give you a LOVE STORY far better than any fictional love stories or fairy tales, and lovelier than you could ever dreamed of.......No matter how long it takes, true love is always WORTH THE WAIT...




~Let me tell you a love story about PATIENCE---THE  love story of Jacob and Rachel..Jacob waited 7 years (plus another 7 years that means 14 years in all for his love for Rachel)....

...Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter. And Laban said, It is better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man: abide with me. And Jacob served SEVEN YEARS for Rachel; and they SEEMED UNTO HIM BUT A FEW DAYS, FOR THE LOVE HE HAD TO HER.. And Jacob said unto Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in unto her. And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast. And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in unto her. And Laban gave unto his daughter Leah Zilpah his maid for an handmaid. And it came to pass, that in the morning, behold, it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What is this thou hast done unto me? did not I serve with thee for Rachel? wherefore then hast thou beguiled me? And Laban said, It must not be so done in our country, to give the younger before the firstborn. Fulfill her week, and we will give thee this also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet SEVEN OTHER YEARS. And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife also..(Genesis 29:18-28)..



    Every girl deserves a JACOB...



    Every girl deserves TRUE LOVE....


     Every girl deserves to be HAPPY...


     And.....


  Every man deserves a RACHEL...someone he can give HIS love...and she'll keep it and cherish it..


Every man deserves to be LOVED deeply...Every man is worth waiting for...he deserves a girl who can wait no matter how long it will take...




 Every man deserves PURE and FAITHFUL LOVE..


EACH ONE OF US DESERVES THE BEST!...


GOD BLESS YOU ALL

A Lady's Poem to the King (By: Julie Bee)

Waiting is hard. But if the person is worth loving for, he is worth waiting for. Why settle for less when you can have God's best?



A Lady's Poem to the King

. .Make haste my breath oh my bel0ved, the kiss of rain tonight still str0ve, in dreams you kindle the fire of love, thy voice quickens everything i have. .

. .yet through the scent of cozy air, God hearkens to every thought i share, to the pleading of my lips still He cares, and to my ear i hear Him whisper. .
“Wait my child, oh wait!“, thy Father hast already weaved thy fate, thy man w0nʹt be too early n0r too late, behold, i have better plans for thee so th0u shalt kn0w n0t to fret“.
And my lips spilled all my fears, “oh Lord my God i pray thee thy ears, thou forbid the man i wait to bring me tears, with favour my Lord shew him f0rth all the strength so while he waits there‘ll won‘t be n0 snares. .
“Oh my dear child, your Father kn0ws, kn0w ye n0t that i am the One who loveth thee the m0st? So let thy Father write that love n0tes, and thy love story will far better than anything as it goes“.
“I love you my child m0re than you kn0w“ . .


(I hope you like it..God bless!)
