I know I mentioned Switchfoot several times in my blog, but they are my #1 favorite band. They are a really great band, there is so much meaning to their music, and they make really good music to their songs. They just keep getting better. I love that every song of their's there is a special meaning, it is a clear and simple meaning but one that is very beautiful and true. Even with the electric guitar their songs seem to sooth me down and rock me to sleep. Their music makes me feel safe, fuzzy and warm, and close to everything that is beautiful and serene, and to God. I find it filled with hope and there are no words to describe how hopeful and optimistic their music makes me feel. Well this post is just to praise their work, and to say that I would like to meet them someday. That would be really awesome! I posted some of the songs I really love from them, even though I love all of their music, I still posted my top favorite several days ago, I titled it "Life Is Still Worth Living". And Yes the title of my post is part of the lyrics of their song called "Your Love is a Song". Switchfoot is like looking through Heaven's eyes. : )
Can't wait to watch it!! I love this movie so much. I remember watching it all the time when I was younger. Brings great memories. I was so in love with Leonardo DiCaprio. ^.^ Oooh I wished, when I was younger, that he had been my boyfriend!! hehe ^.^... but anywaaays, I'm going to start collecting some monies to go watch it w/ my friends or somebody XD... my boyfriend lives toooooo far far away to come watch it with me. lols : )
I grew up in the Catholic faith, going to church on Sundays, and going to church school. I attended church school when I was in middle school, high school, and one year in my college years, I think I was in my Sophomore year when I attended church school, I'm a Senior in College by the way. I found church school really nice to go to, I feel very happy I did attend. Well my point for this post is the song from the movie Prince of Egypt - When You Believe, reminds me so much of my faith as a catholic/christian. I don't much talk about my faith but it is so nice to hear a song like this. : )
How could there be a movie that has made me tear up in every other scene? *grabs tissue* This movie is amazing. My heart is filling up with all this fluffy stuff inside me!! T.T I feel so fuzzy and warm. I wish there were more movies like this one. It's worth watching, it is a great father and son movie.
Wow this is something very exciting!! I remember just that time my sophomore math teacher Mr. Acker was pointing out 5/5/05 or was it 6/6/06 lol... I don't remember so much about the numbers, but I just remember he told us we should remember such dates because they will not happen ever again in our life time. Not until, of course, it is 11/11/3011 which I doubt we will be alive. lol Anyways he was telling us, his students, it only happens once in a life time, and why not take those little things of life and make them something really cool and significant.
Speaking about Mr. Acker, he was a really great teacher, he made class always fun and then after teaching us at the end of the school year, he told us he wasn't going to teach anymore, that he loved being a teacher but his calling went to something else and that was to preach about God. So that is what he is doing now as I write. It is so funny because he is the only teacher I remember so well. I am going to be a teacher someday, I look up to the good teachers I had. Mr. Acker always engaged us in math problems, and I always got good grades in his class, and now that I hear him preach the word of the Lord at his church (only i don't go to his church i hear his sermons through his website) I admire him and look up to him even more. I am really happy for him and I hope someday I will find my calling as well. Thank you Mr. Acker for teaching us math and teaching us too, when you became a pastor, about Jesus. God bless you so much, and I bet He has already, and I hope my faith will grow just as yours.
About 11/11/11 don't forget to make a wish or pray a little something at 11:11pm
UPDATE: Yay!! My boyfriend and I made a wish/prayer at exactly 11:11pm 11/11/11. I don't know I just thought it would be a fun little thing. It was really exciting to do this with my boyfriend because I love him. Doing this with him just made it so much funner!! yay!! : ) Well whatever we wished for, whatever they were lol, I'm not saying my wish, I hope they come true. Actually wishes don't come true just by waiting we must work toward them. : ) I know lol a little dissapointing but dont' you prefer to work toward your wishes, dreams, goals than just be sitting in your a** and be waiting for them o.O that just doesn't make sense to me. I believe that we must have the courage to work toward them. Capish? lols : ). Well I have to admit some wishes do come true with just believign in them. But isn't when you believe in something don't you also work toward it at the same time because you believe in it? : )
All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them. ~ Walt Disney
Some people feel guilty about their anxieties and regard them as a defect of faith but they are afflictions, not sins. Like all afflictions, they are, if we can so take them, our share in the passion of Christ. ~ C. S. Lewis
Don't use words too big for the subject. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. ~ C. S. Lewis
My Quiz Result: Yes, you are a very well-mannered girl. You talk nicely to others and are polite in your behavior. It's beyond you to make fun of anyone.
You are kind and beautiful as a person. You are made of pure light and unlike Earth angels you decided to stay in heaven and keep the peace from up there. This may seem as cowardice, as you are hiding from the evil in the world but you are not being a coward as you are more of a guiding figure. You bring guidance as you beam your light energy giving people life and confidence. You are quite outgoing to do this but perhaps held up inside.
Good teaching is one-fourth preparation and three-fourths theater. ~Gail Godwin
A teacher who is attempting to teach without inspiring the pupil with a desire to learn is hammering on cold iron. ~Horace Mann
A good teacher is like a candle - it consumes itself to light the way for others. ~Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, translated from Turkish
What the teacher is, is more important than what he teaches. ~Karl Menninger
Teaching is leaving a vestige of one self in the development of another. And surely the student is a bank where you can deposit your most precious treasures. ~Eugene P. Bertin
Discover wildlife: be a teacher! ~Author Unknown
When you teach your son, you teach your son's son. ~The Talmud
Don't try to fix the students, fix ourselves first. The good teacher makes the poor student good and the good student superior. When our students fail, we, as teachers, too, have failed. ~Marva Collins
Teaching is the only major occupation of man for which we have not yet developed tools that make an average person capable of competence and performance. In teaching we rely on the "naturals," the ones who somehow know how to teach. ~Peter Drucker
Teachers are expected to reach unattainable goals with inadequate tools. The miracle is that at times they accomplish this impossible task. ~Haim G. Ginott
If a doctor, lawyer, or dentist had 40 people in his office at one time, all of whom had different needs, and some of whom didn't want to be there and were causing trouble, and the doctor, lawyer, or dentist, without assistance, had to treat them all with professional excellence for nine months, then he might have some conception of the classroom teacher's job. ~Donald D. Quinn
I only pray you'll never leave me behind
Because good music can be so hard to find
I take your hand and hold it closer to mine
Thought love was dead, but now you're changing my mind
STEREO HEARTS
My heart's a stereo
It beats for you, so listen close
Hear my thoughts in every no-o-o-te
Make me your radio
And turn me up when you feel low
This melody was meant for you
Just sing along to my stereo
Gym Class Heroes baby!
If I was just another dusty record on the shelf
Would you blow me off and play me like everybody else?
If I asked you to scratch my back, could you manage that?
Like yea [scratched], check it Travie, I can handle that
Furthermore, I apologize for any skipping tracks
It's just the last girl that played me left a couple cracks
I used to used to used to, now I'm over that
'Cause holding grudges over love is ancient artifacts
If I could only find a note to make you understand
I'd sing it softly in your ear and grab you by the hand
Just keep it stuck inside your head, like your favorite tune
And know my heart's a stereo that only plays for you
My heart's a stereo
It beats for you, so listen close
Hear my thoughts in every no-o-o-te
Make me your radio
And turn me up when you feel low
This melody was meant for you
Just sing along to my stereo
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh to my stereo
Oh oh oh oh to sing along to my stereo
Let's go!
If I was an old-school fifty pound boombox (remember them?)
Would you hold me on your shoulder wherever you walk
Would you turn my volume up in front of the cops (turn it up)
And crank it higher everytime they told you to stop
And all I ask is that you don't get mad at me
When you have to purchase mad D batteries
Appreciate every mixtape your friends make
You never know we come and go like on the interstate
I think I finally found a note to make you understand
If you can hit it, sing along and take me by the hand
Just keep me stuck inside your head, like your favorite tune
You know my heart's a stereo that only plays for you
My heart's a stereo
It beats for you, so listen close
Hear my thoughts in every no-o-o-te
Make me your radio
Turn me up when you feel low
This melody was meant for you
Just sing along to my stereo
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh to my stereo
Oh oh oh oh to sing along to my stereo
I only pray you'll never leave me behind (never leave me)
Because good music can be so hard to find (so hard to find)
I take your hand and hold it closer to mine
Thought love was dead, but now you're changing my mind
My heart's a stereo
It beats for you, so listen close
Hear my thoughts in every no-o-o-te
Make me your radio
Turn me up when you feel low
This melody was meant for you
Just sing along to my stereo
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh to my stereo
Oh oh oh oh (Gym Class Heroes baby!) to sing along to my stereo
I remember when I was 6yrs old and this movie was on theaters. My aunt had invited us to go watch it but my mom didn't want to go, so I begged her because I had seen the movie teasers and I wanted to this movie so bad. Finally, I had convinced my mom to go but unfortunately we didn't make to the theater in time and it was too full to go in by then. So it was months until I finally watched it when it finally came out in VCR. I was able to rent from Blockbusters and I was so happy and I loved the movie so much, I could have watched it everyday.
I started a new blog specifically for my weight loosing challenge. I really want to keep it up because it's been my goal for so long. I am sort of nervous about it, but we'll see what happens. Wish me luck!! : )
My blog and my sister's blog, even though I'm usually going to post up. But she's always welcome to post up anytime she wants. This is a blog mostly on what were interested in: like music, books and all that cool stuff. My sister is ScaryKid and I'm Vanessa. So welcome to our blog.
