There are only 2 books in this world: the BIBLE and the others

Reading the bible is one of the things I do during night time. Right now, I keep on reading the book of Sirach which I think is full of thought and makes sense to me. It helped me to correct my sinful me and widen my understanding to all kinds of people. If I would be given a chance to prove to you how bible is effective in changing your darker perspective in life, this blog is not enough for me to show you. There are many ways the bible can change each one of us. Just wait and see.

Before, I got difficulties in understanding the bible but now, since I have a Today's English Version bible it is easier for me to get what is meant from the verses.

As I keep on reading, it made me realize I was so wrong for what I did. It taught me to be patient and to love our own even though others persecute us. It showed me that God's love is eternal and these problems are just obstacles. It answered all my questions like why life is unfair and why do we have to undergo trials. All these things were answered by reading this sacred book.

I know that this world is not as perfect as we but if we live according to God's word, we can make the world a better place. For those people who see the world as useless and unjust, then think again. We may not see God physically but he's trying to establish a communication by means of reading the bible. I know some youth would think of this as boring but my brother Kenneth is different because he reads the bible everyday and watches to TV mass every afternoon. Thank God, He transformed my brother. Not all men find an interest to a bible.

The bible has changed the lives of millions of people by turning away from their vicious and criminal acts. Some had decided to serve the Lord with all their hearts by preaching and entering the monastery. If they were able to change it why can't us? I'm sure we can too!

With God, it's not too late. Read the bible now and feel God whispering His enlightening words to your ears.

Finding the right way,

Dysmenorrhea: A weakness to every woman.

When my monthly period comes, I feel like dying and I can't help myself from crying just to ease the unbearable pain brought by this menace, the dysmenorrhea. 

In my case, the pain usually comes during my first or second day of menstruation. I'm confused why I'm still having my dysmenorrhea when I'm avoiding acidic foods and drinks. When the pain starts in my lower hip, I'm starting to sweat all over and I don't know how to relieve it. If I have the chance to lie on my bed, I'm trying my best to do all the positions just to lessen the pain. I even take Mefenamic Acid but its effectivity is not fast enough. Sipping a cup of tea somehow relieves the pain but only a little too. For me, the feeling is in indescribable making me freaking out and weak. Lucky for me if I immediately fall to sleep because the pain is gone by the time I wake up. If I'm to describe it, it is like someone pulled the thorn on my butt. I'm really relieved when the pain is gone. I'm having a nice feeling. 

Two years ago, we went to a doctor and I told her about what I feel when dysmenorrhea strikes. She told me that eating acidic foods and drinking soft drinks is just OK but with moderation. As to taking pain-relievers, it should be taken before you feel pain to take effect. She prescribed me some medicine to regulate my blood circulation.

Because of this I was able to realize that when I'm having my 'normal days' I feel free and strong. I can do whatever I want but when the 'red days' comes in, it takes away all the things I wanna do. It takes my happiness away by inflicting me pain. The strong and brave Cindy will suddenly turn to a weak and helpless one. This is my weakness, when my red days comes.

Until now, I'm still having dysmenorrhea but sometimes when I do exercise, it doesn't come. I know I'm not the only one suffering this kind of pain monthly but there are millions of women having the same feeling as mine. With a good diet and exercise, I think I can alleviate the degree of pain but....I'm now prepared for a bloody and painful one everytime I have my period.

At last I'm now relieved,

When some things don't grow

One of the bitter realities that I should accept is the fact that I will no longer grow tall and be forever a petite. Imagine, I'm now 18 and I only stand 4 ft and 11 inches!

I know this is not so normal to teens reaching this age but what can I do? No height-enhancer supplements had helped me grow a little inch and even if I sleep longer hours, it won't help me grow anymore. Unlike my sister who sleeps longer and is taller than me. This reality is like a slap on my face!

I got this trait from my mom who is a petite woman. I think we have just the same height, 4 feet and 11 inches. Though this is what happened but I didn't blame mom for being a small girl while my sister is a tall girl. It just happened that I was the unlucky person given this short height. Pity I didn't get my father's gene to be a tall person.

I stopped growing when I entered highschool. I remember I got a wall to monitor my height everyday by drawing a line on top of me. During elementary, it was all fine I got progress about my height when it horrifies me by the time I entered highschool. I stuck on the last line! I took height-enhancer supplements everyday to somehow help my body produce growth hormones but then, I lack sleep at times due to stress and school pressures. I did anything I could to be tall but the sad thing was that I gain and gain more weight than keep on growing that's why I concluded that it's hopeless.

I'm a college girl now and I see no improvements at all. When I'm with my classmates, I look like an elementary kid. Most of them are taller and they are leaner in shape. Sometimes I lack self-confidence in front of many people.

Even though I was not blessed with a tall height I just hope that I'll get a job later on. Maybe I was made to be short for me to live forever young. I will not waste my time regretting about height because there are more things to consider than this. I guess I should be contented and be thankful I'm complete.

The petite at your service,

My dog has a 'swimming-puppy syndrome'

notice Powie's legs like she's going to swim

Everytime I go out of the porch, I just can't bear to see my two little cute puppies suffer from pain. While their other siblings jump for joy to see me, the two try to crawl with their belly. I believe it is not their fault but rather I played a part of it. Everytime I see them lying there while the others playing makes me feel guilty I should have not made any intervention while they were still a little. I'm afraid I took Powie and Funky's joy to live like a normal dog and I'm afraid I can't get them to the normal state.

Actually their condition is just abrupt. For their first month, I gave them formulated milk coz I can't see all of them getting milk from their mother. To remind you, they are eleven of them and Kimmy, the mother has only 8 breasts so probably not all them could get milk. Since they were a small pup, we managed to get them drink in a baby bottle and we make 1 to 2 minutes duration before we get another pup. I do think that was a daily priority until we realized that we always run out of milk. 

For the next 30 days, since their teeth started to grow, we decided to feed them rice and I think this is where I made my biggest mistake. Yeah, all of them eat it but my horrible observation was this: right after they eat their meal, their stomach got so big and so round. At first I thought they were just full but they lost appetite every other day. Some of them were shaking and I have the least idea what is happening to them.  Days passed, some have recovered but these two couldn't still make it.

Funky walks in short distances but stops

Powie going near me

I don't know what to call their condition until I look through the net and know about this swimming puppy syndrome. I watched some videos pertaining to this condition and it is the same as theirs. Overfeeding them when they were still young are one of the symptoms I've read. Crawling with their stomach is included. I noticed Powie's hind legs straight up like she's swimming and Funky's back arched when he is trying to walk. I gathered some infos about the cure but I do the therapy when I give them a bath.

Right now, they are 3 months old. Funky and Powie have a slow progression unlike their other siblings who can run and bark at times. It just gives me a confusion why such thing happened when I saw them able to walk when they were 2 months old. For now, I give them small amounts of food three times a day and I make sure there's a soup to make their food moist. Funky may sometimes shakes right after eating but that's because some food eaten was stuck on his hard palate. A water after meal is prepared for them.

Though I'm in continuous search for their recovery, I'm always praying that God will help them with their condition. I know it will not be quick but I know that they will cope up. You know, they surprise me each and everyday by trying their best to stand and walk with their front and hind legs. How cute and thoughtful of them!

No matter what happens, I will do my best to save them from their condition.

Lots of Love,

Cindy♥♥♥

PS: It was full of sadness and grief that we had to say goodbye to Powie who just left last month due to parasitic infection. Powie was seen dead at around 4:00pm. Not long after Powie's death, Funky passed away too together w/ their mom Kimmy. May the cute little puppies  lie in the safe hands of our heavenly father who loves all His creations. RIP Powie, Funky and Kimmy

I got an update to this blog....finally:))

Wheww... after resizing my header photo for several times, here's my updated blog! Tadah!! I got my cartooned image from istockphoto, finally! Although, the image is just borrowed but I think it gave my blog a refreshing image compared from my last header that contains my wacky photos.:)) I swear I will never put my images in the header section.

So in order for me to give you a nice welcome, I just put a cartooned photo of myself (though I'm not saying that this photo was made exclusively for me) just to remind you of WHO I REALLY AM in person

Since school time is fast approaching, I will try my very best to post as many as I can to somehow enlighten your souls or know something that you may find interesting.

As usual, I promise to keep all my blogs in english but I can't assure you that I will be very brilliant in using flowering words to make my blogs nicer to read.

Hope you keep on following guys:))

Not so excited to school,

We are all GIFTED..

Each of us is gifted in our own ways. Don't ever think that you have no place to show your talents and skills here. I think we don't have to be famous just to realize that God gave us a special skill to be proud of. Whatever you do, whether you can sing or dance, act or do something extraordinary, that's a talent for you to nourish. We are all talented and God never failed to give us something we can use as we grow up.

Sometimes, when I'm watching singing search like the X Factor or Pilipinas Got Talent, it really amazes me to see bunch of talents who have the guts to show it to everyone. They are all wonderful and awesome that I'm having goosebumps whenever I see someone singing a song effortlessly.  WOW. I even imagine myself included in the show but that is unlikely to happen. LOL. 

There are also peeps who go beyond the limit by doing the things others can't such as doing acrobatics, walking on fire and some that you've never thought it' would be possible. Even some of our disabled brothers and sisters can still do the things normal people do like playing the guitar and piano that makes them truly amazing!

I'm not saying that being a gifted person limits only to singing and dancing. Some may not have these 'showy talents' but God gave some people brilliant and creative minds to do something for the benefit of humanity,   and others to care and interrelate with other people as well. There are a lot of people who excel in science, mathematics, fashion and even known in public service.

No one has the right to say he is useless because we are created here to show what we got. In fact, we are here to share our abilities in order to please Him. Of course, since we are all gifted, it is just in our hands how we can develop or we can use this for the better. I believe that I, you, we have something to share. We are all gifted and God hopes you love what He has given you.

I hope God that you will help me develop what you've given me. I trust in you!

Still wondering,

Cindy♥♥♥
