Hello Again February 29Th.

HAPPY LEAP DAY! HAPPY LEAP YEAR!

I think that February is a unique month, because it is the shortest month of the year, its a "LOVE" month aka Valentine Day on the 14Th, it is my dad's birthday month (nothing unique about it, but I say it anyway LOL), and once every four years we have the 29Th.

"February 29, known as a leap day in the Gregorian calendar, is a date that occurs in most years that are evenly divisible by 4, such as 2004, 2008, 2012 and 2016. Years that are evenly divisible by 100 but not by 400 do not contain a leap day; thus 1900 did not contain a leap day while 2000 did. Years containing a leap day are called leap years. February 29 is the 60th day of the Gregorian calendar in such a year, with 306 days remaining until the end of that year. Although most years of the modern calendar have 365 days, a complete revolution around the sun takes approximately 365 days and 6 hours. Every four years, during which an extra 24 hours have accumulated, one extra day is added to keep the count coordinated with the sun's apparent position. " (Wikipedia)

Here are some funny images I have found regarding this Leap Year/Day :

Welcome to the world, Arielle Lynn Blanchard (Feb 29Th 2012)

If you are the birthday boy/girl today, Happy Birthday!! You have a very special day to celebrate and hey..forever young, right?! ;)

Because today only happens once every four years, I would like to remember this day with this quote that I have found earlier today. This is my quote of the day and it made my day, BRIGHTER! :)

"Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow; 

it empties today of its strength."

Dreams and Goals

VIA

Don't just dream about it, make it happen.
Don't just dream about it, make it your priority.
Don't just dream about it, make it your vision.
Don't just dream about it, make it your goal.
Don't just dream about it, make it  your reality.
Don't just dream about it, start it today.


Don't give up if you are not there (yet). There will be mountains to climb, valley to hide once a in awhile, but get back up and continue what you want to be the reality of your life. May it be your dream job, dream lifestyle, dream body type, dream house, etc.

Don't stop dreaming! Inventions, creations, and everything that exists now, started from a dream, a vision, a goal. But to make it happen, we must go further than just dreaming about it. We must pursue it and achieve it. Use your imagination, use your power to get what you want, what you deserve in life.

Be proud of your achievement and never give up!

A dog from God

I am more of a dog person than a cat person, but I am an animal lover and I love them. I found this cute pic of a cat and I thought this cat is the real deal LOL

via 

Do you believe that your pet is your mini me? I do, because sometimes I could see a human with their dog and they look the same. Well, let me put it this way, If your dog/cat would have been born as a human, they would look like you and pretty much act like you LOL!

Sometimes I think that if human is as nice as my dog, this world would be a better place. Our pet would try anything for us, do everything we expect them to do. Basically, they try so hard to please us and they love us regarding what we own, who we are or what we look like. 

I adopted my dog, Luke, back in 2006. He has been with us ever since he was a puppy and since the first year of our marriage. My husband was an active duty US Navy and he get deployed a lot, work way too much and left me alone all the time. So, a dog would be great, right?!.


First few months was very hard because I need to trained him to do everything. But thank God, Luke is a quick learner and willing to do everything for me. I NEVER train him and give him treat in return, LOL. I know I am "mean" huh?! But, it works though. He would do tricks not for food but just for fun and for me. As he grows older, I started to reward him with treats (I could not be that mean).


He never chewed my furniture, never bite anyone, never had accident in the house..well maybe once when he was sick and we were at work. He will do ANY trick for you and for every trick, I only taught him once then he will get it right away. He was there when I am alone, sad, happy, sick, healthy. He was there even when my own husband was in a war zone. He was with me when none of my family were there (they are in Indonesia). He is my friend, my companion, my dog. He is a dog from God and I will always cherish my days with him.

A bond of love, friendship and loyalty! 

We all could use a little lesson (and love) from our pet. Go hug your pet, play with them, walk with them, or simply talk to them. You will be surprise of how much love we get in return from a dog. When I cry, my dog will come to me and put his head on my lap, trying to lick my tears away. That is his way of saying, "I am here for you. I don't know why you are sad, but I can feel your pain. Everything will be all right."


If you hate animal, you might not find this true or moving, because there is no room for them in your heart and that is OK with me. I just hope you understand that they are God's creation and every creation has its purpose. Dog is created as a human companion, friend, guard and helper. God made them that way and it is up to us, human, to understand their purpose, how to teach/train them and how to love them as they should be loved/treated. They would never hurt their owners yet the owners neglect their pets so many times, even kill them. Please be a responsible owner and educate yourself!. They are a living creature, not a doll. They should be treated as a living creature and not as a "thing", who could not feel anything. They understand pain, death, life and love. They are a living creature, keep that in mind the next time you are trying to hurt them, kill them, leave them or eat them :(


Cherish your days with your pets! They will not live forever, but they will always be in your hearts. You will always be their hero, best friend and everything for them.

I might not understand how it feels to be you, your problem and your valley of darkness at this very moment, but I do know what it feels like to live a life of hardship. Many times in my life, I feel like God has forgotten me or He is unjust for bringing me ALL these problems, while other people I know, seems so happy. Even if when they say they have a problem, it seems "lighter" compares to mine. We tend to think that our problems is heavier than others, and we tend to assume that other people is happier than us, when we are facing hard times in life.

"The past cannot be changed. The future is yet in your power." - Mary Pickford

It is understandable to feel the hatred, jealousy, unjust, or sadness when you are down, the burden is very heavy, the tunnel seems very dark, and you see other people that you know (family, friends, co worker, etc) seems happy. The worst is, maybe they are actually happier than you at THAT moment. But, knowing that everyone of us has their own valley, burden and sadness. They either not showing it, they have passed it, they have hope, or their problems are different than yours. Sometimes one carries heavier burden than others and it is because everyone has different life, different options, different path that they chose and different way to express or facing their problems. But, you are NOT the only one with problems!

I woke up with this very good reminder from Billy Graham, and I will quote it for you, from this link 

"God has a plan for the life of every Christian. Every circumstance, every turn of destiny, is for your good. It is working together for completeness. His plan for you is being perfected. All things working together for your good and for His glory. As a young Christian, Ruth, my wife, wanted to be a missionary, as were her father and mother. But God had other plans for her life. Changing circumstances revealed God’s will to her, and she was happy where God had placed her. So many of us ask God to change the circumstances to suit our desires, instead of us conforming our wills to His. Don’t let circumstances distress you. Rather, look for the will of God for your life to be revealed in and through those circumstances." - Billy Graham

I always reminding myself that circumstances are temporary but character is forever shaped from every circumstances we have in our lifetime. Hardship builds strong characters! If you are facing any problems in life, knowing that you are not alone with problem, we all have ours. 

Whatever it is that you are facing right now, This Too Shall Pass!

Whatever it is that burdens you right now, This Too Shall Pass!

Whoever bothers you right now, This Too Shall Pass!

"A grateful heart is an attitude that has been shaped after going through a lot of pain, struggling and down moments. It's a heart that's willing to say thank you and appreciate the present moment with joy because it has learned that life could be a lot worse. "Now, I am going to give thanks and live my life", says that heart." (Me)

“We learn faith through testing, hope through darkness, patience through delay.”

-Rick Warren-

I pray that You are providing their every needs according to Your richness and glory. 

I pray that You will strengthened them, heal them, restore them, and renew their life as they are praying with me.

but YOU do, for nothing is hidden from Your sight and nothing is impossible with/for You. 

I pray that Your hand will hold this person and make them realize 

how big, how strong, how mighty are You, my Lord. 

Even when our parents has forgotten us, despised us, hating us, but You will never forgotten nor forsaken us. 

The world is an evil, unjust, and crazy place, but in You, we find our peace, healing, hope, way out, comfort, strength, love and hiding place.

Thank You. 

In Your name, Jesus Christ, we pray! 

Amen."

NEVER..NEVER..NEVER GIVE UP!

Yes, I am endorsing RON PAUL for President!

I usually do not write or blog about politics, simply because I do not trust any politician and there are a lot of things or persons, that had been sacrificed in the name of politics.

But, I do BELIEVE in RON PAUL. There is something very sincere about him that he actually cares for the people, liberty and freedom. The FACTS that he is an honest politician that he got praises from other people who worked with him.


"Ron Paul is one of the outstanding leaders fighting for a stronger national defense. As a former Air Force officer, he knows well the needs of our armed forces, and he always puts them first. We need to keep him fighting for our country." - Ronald Reagan


Why do I like RON PAUL?


He is very smart, honest, no flip flop statements, he is consistent with his words/promises/stands, cares about the people. He appreciates and values LIFE (the unborn, the troops, the dying people in the countries where wars are still going on, those who are sick, the people of the USA). He is a true conservative man and he represents the values of conservatism. He understand The Constitution so much better than any politician I've  seen in this Presidential race so far. He has been in politics for so long, yet he still stand strong for what he believes, again..NO FLIP FLOP statements. He is humble, down to earth man, has integrity and connected to the young people, even though he is from a different generation lol. He is always trending on Twitter and that is huge for a Republican politician his age ;)


He is a family man, married to ONE wife since 1957, a Doctor who helped a lot of people, a STRONG Christian man who does not use his faith to gain voters. He served in the military and the troops LOVES him. 

Some of the things that I, personally, like about his plans/policies are :

-Cut spending $1 Trillion in year one by eliminating 5 unnecessary bureacracies (Energy, HUD, Commerce, Interior, and Education) and returning spending to 2006 levels.
-Cut taxes by lowering the corporate tax to 15%, allowing companies to repatriate capital without taxation, and ending the death tax and taxes on personal savings.
-Repeal ObamaCare, Dodd-Frank, and Sarbanes-Oxley.
-His view on wars. END it and bring the troops home. Enough with the wars already!


"We can achieve much more in peace than we can ever achieve in these needless, unconstitutional, undeclared wars." - Ron Paul

"Sometimes it can be very uncomfortable to ask the right questions and face the truth. When a slick politician comes along and gives a much more soothing, self-congratulating version of events, it is very tempting to simply believe what we would like to hear. But listening to lies does not make us safer, even though it might make us feel better about ourselves. The truth is that ending these misguided wars and occupations will make us safer, more prosperous and more free." - Ron Paul

-Make all Americans eligible for Heath Savings Accounts.

-Provide tax credits and deductions for medical expenses.

-Enforce border security at home instead of overseas.

-Abolish the welfare state - a huge incentive for illegal immigrants

-End birthright citizenship. 

-Repeal the federal gasoline tax.

-Defining life as beginning at conception by passing a "Sanctity of Life Act."

-Prohibit taxpayer dollars from being used to support abortions or "family planning" clinics.

These are some of the facts of why we should vote for Ron Paul. You can click the rest here for more information:

http://www.ronpaul.com/


Let's pray and vote. May the right man win and rule this country with wisdom, honesty, faithfulness and justice. A man with the heart to serve and protect, to value life, peace and actually do something to change America to a better country in every aspects. Freedom is not free and that is why we must filled this freedom with responsibility as a good citizen, do our job, work, contribute to the world and not taking it (freedom) for granted. Do not get confuse between freedom and I can do whatever I want without limit :)


Ron Paul is the man that the Republican party hates because he is "not conservative enough" (roll my eyes) and the Democrats fears, because he could actually get a lot of their voters attention and votes!


I also love him because his birthday is on August, just like mine! LOL


"We should have a right to keep the fruits of all our labors" Ron Paul


"They are (troops/military) on the front line, they are dying and they don't even know what they are dying for" Ron Paul

PRAY and VOTE
