Life Verses. :D

Just recently, I remembered a challenge our discipleship group leader gave us. She said to find a life verse. She said that a life verse is a Bible verse that best applies to your life, or a Bible verse that strikes you in a different way than other verses. So anyway, I decided to take the challenge. :) I found 2 verses that affected me most.

1. Psalm 73:25
My flesh and heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
I really like this verse because it is such a great encouragement and assurance of God's love. It says that people are weak, and we can't do everything on our own. In fact, we can't do anything on our own. So when our own strength fails, and when we think we can't take it anymore, God is the strength of our hearts. He loves us so much, and He'll help us keep on going. :) He's the reason why we can go on even after a fight with our parents or a struggle we have, or whatever.. :)

Here's a song that came from this verse:

Whom have I in heaven but You
There is nothing on earth I desire beside You
My heart and my strength many times they fail
But there is one truth that always will prevail

God is the strength of my heart
God is the strength of my heart
God is the strength of my heart
and my portion forever, forever

2. 1 Timothy 4:12
Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity.
I like this one, too, because it tells us that even the young, and maybe those who aren't as smart or tall or even as pretty as others can be an example to other other people. And for me, it says that I can make a difference for God in the lives of other people. :) And that pushes me even more to be a better person. :)

Being able to find my life verse/s is a great achievement for me. :) Praise God. If you guys have a life verse too, feel free to share it with me! :) Comment please. :D

God bless you guys, take care! :)

When the cup cakes,
Nicah

P.S. I miss you JI people!

Feelin' Fabulous. ;)

Fabu. Faboolous. Whatever you want to call it... That's how I'm feeling. :D

I dunno, I guess everything's been going so well. I got my scores for the examinations, and they were pretty good. Praise God. :) and school work is still light. Friends, family life has been good. And I feel really good about myself. :) I'm at the peak of my happiness joy (joy- long lasting happiness) level for this past week. :) and that's really really good.

I do miss my lists though. :D So here is a list of the things that I need to make my life perfect right now:

Things I Need To Make My Life Perfect (Right Now)

1. A good book to read.
I haven't read a book in a long time. I kind of need it when I'm bored... and when there's nothing better to do. XD

2. People who want chihuahua puppies!
Let me explain. :)) My dog (a beautiful, chocolate-fawn colored, brown-eyed, long-coat chihuahua) is going to be in heat next month. I'm planning to make her have one litter of puppies. :D We already have a stud. :D And I'm really really excited for her pups! Problem is, my family doesn't plan on keeping any of them, so we're going to sell them... And I'm already looking for loving homes. :D

So while I have the chance to advertise... Litter of chihuahua puppies for sale! Beautiful mother, father is full stud. :D Expected delivery: some time in November, ready to take home in february 2008. :D P15,000 for male, P17,000 for female. (tentative price)

3. My relatives and friends in the states to come over here. :(
I miss so many people from the US. :( My ninangs, godsister, friends, family. :( I really wish I could go to them, or they could go to me.

4. Sleepover!
I'm inviting some friends to sleepover at my place this saturday so some people could go to a Youth event with me. :D I really want them to come. :)

5. The ability to play the piano and be perfect pitch. :D
Haha, in my DREAMS. :P

6. The ability to play any sport!!!!
must I say more? :))

7. A shopping spree. :D
To buy all the things I want. Then load my closet and CD collection. :))

8. A purtee dress. :D
Every girl needs a pretty dress. :D hahaha.

God bless you guys! Hope you're feeling FABULOUS!

Nicaaah.

Poetry

I just took this test, got this result, and decided to post something new. :D

You Should Be a Poet

You have a way with words... and a talent for drawing the pure emotions out of experiences. Your poetry has the potential to make people laugh and cry at the same time. You just need to write it!

What Sort of Artist Should You Be?

Forever
by: Nicah Santos

In your eyes I am special
A gift, a person, your child
Your Son, you sent to die for me
Out of love, a sacrifice so great

There is none that compares to you
Your love lasts forever and I can say
“You are my God, my all in all
I could sing of your love forever.”

So I wail and I’m crying
For those times that I’ve sinned
A lie, a cheat, a scam
‘Cause that most fateful day repeats itself
With the nails, the cross, the Romans
So I wail and I’m crying

But Your plan, so perfect
Makes all of this okay
For Your will came true
And now we’re saved:
Gates of heaven opened

So I say again
“I could sing of your love forever”
And I will
‘Till the end of my days
Because
In your eyes I am special
A gift, a person, your child


This was a poem I wrote in 6th grade. It's freeverse, meaning nothing really rhymes, and there's no meter. XD But I think it came out alright. I mean, I really like writing, but I just need practice with my poetry. :)

Thanks guys, God bless! Keep safe from the rain. :)

What Kind of Pie Are You?

STORM! Bwahahaha!

The storm(s) that've been hitting us are driving me NUTS. And I'm not even talking about pecan, or pea. It's COCO. As in, CocoNUTS.

My jokes are getting cornier by the second. o.O

Anyway, for those of you whom haven't heard (you people probably live on mars or something), the Philippines has been Downpour City for the past week. Thursday of last week, classes were cancelled due to the strong rains (by the way, I woke up that morning and STILL went to school. Who says we can't hang out at sCOOL during a storm? *wink*).

Following that big blast (or rather, pour), there were rains and drizzles, although that was just in Manila. The provinces in Northern Luzon were continually being hit, resulting in floods. BIG floods. Floods reaching rooftops and engulfing trees. Floods that pushed the people living there to buy and build small boats to get around.

Anyway, last Wednesday, classes were suspended. It was weird for us taking the quarterly exams because by the time the suspension was announced, we were already dimissed. :)) Oh well. Lastly, classes yesterday and today were cancelled (perhaps to build up the suspense of receiving our exam results?). Floods are continually being a problem to people in our provinces, and people living beside canals and creeks.

The report that you have been reading is actually what's been happening in Manila. I don't really know much about what's been happening farther away. o.O

Other than the suspension of classes and the very cool weather, the storms have brought about some good results. :) First of all, there was a drought two or three weeks ago. Guess what happened to it. :D Bye bye. :D The rain has supplied enough more than enough water to make our rice fields and vegetables grow. Then of course our water supplies have increased dramatically. :) Proving, of course, that there's a silver lining in every cloud (in this case, heavy, water-filled clouds).

But we can't forget our fellow countrymen (and women!) who are suffering. :( As mentioned before, the rain has brought about outrageous floods. Which of course bring about floating rats and cockroaches. Ick. But more seriously than that, adults and children alike have drowned and lost lives in this storm. :( last week's Thursday-Friday storm (from what I heard, I was probably not even updated) resulted in 10 losses. :( Siiigh.

I know God will continue to take care of us despite this disastrous event. Please just continue to pray for us. :) Thanks. God bless you guys, take care! :)

Nicah.

>WHAT WOULD BEST DESCRIBE YOUR PERSONALITY?
Rapid Hope Loss by Dashboard Confessional

You called to say you wanted out.
Well, I can't say I blame you now.
Sometimes you've got to fold
before you're found out.
Well thanks for waiting this long to show yourself.

Cause now that I can see you,
I don't think you're worth a second glance.

So much for all the promises you made, they served you well
and now you're gone and they're wasted on me.
So much for your endearing sense of charm, it served you well
and now it's gone and you're wasted on me.

Is that ME at all???!! =))

And it's all because of you (all because of you)

She's the sweetest drug.

First of all, I don't like girls. XP AND, I don't like drugs either. :))

>WHAT IS YOUR LIFE’S PURPOSE?
Dangerous by Katherine McPhee

I wish I knew what I know now. I swear it never would’ve went down.
Dangerous. He’ll steal your heart away, then run away.
He’s dangerous. Protect your heart, he’ll tear it apart.
Dangerous. He’ll steal your heart away, then run and play.
He’s dangerous. Protect your heart, he’ll tear it apart.

I didn’t see the crash that burnt the bridge.
I didn’t see the missle that sank my loveship down.
(Oh, I felt the hit, it was as hard as a brick. It made me shift, and left me damaged.)
Dealing with the pain was so hard.
I can’t believe the things that he did to leave me scarred.

My life's purpose is to get my heart broken? *raise eyebrows* Geez. :))

>WHAT IS YOUR MOTTO?
Circles by Drake Bell

Hope there's more to life than this
I'm sure there's more to life than just
Spinning in circles
You got me spinning in circles

There's more to life than just spinning in circles. ;)

WHAT DO YOUR FRIENDS THINK OF YOU?
Hindi Kita Iiwan by Rey Valera

Ninais nating umibig
Gayong tutol sa atin ang panahon
Tinangka nating mangarap sa mundong sadyang mapagkait
Ngunit anuman ang mangyari sa 'ting pagma-mahalan
Mahal ko, laging umaasang...
Hindi kita iiwan
Hinding-hindi kita iiwan.

I love you mah friends! ^^

>WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR PARENTS?
Love Story by Katherine McPhee

I think it was a summer time
When I laid eyes on you
I didn't even know your name
Somehow We'd end up in the same room
It never crossed my mind
I never saw you like that
I should've listened to my best friend
She knew we'd be a perfect match

It's a typical love story
We started out as friends
We met way back when
This is just a typical love story
The boy you never wanted just steals you heart
I never saw it comin' 'til I fell so hard


Uhmm. Ohkaaay. :| :))

>WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT VERY OFTEN?
Building The Barricade from Les Miserables

Here upon these stones
We will build our barricade
In the heart of the city
We claim as our own!
Each man to his duty
And don't be afraid.
Wait! I will need a report
On the strength of the foe.
I can find out the truth
I know their ways
Fought their wars
Served my time
In the days
Of my youth!
Various Students
Now the people will fight
And so they might
Dogs will back
Fleas will bite.
They will do what is right

I think about fleas and dogs. o.O alright then.

>WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GROW UP?
Daddy's Little Girl by Michael Buble

Daddy Daddy don't leave
Mommy's saying things she don't mean
She don't know what she's talking about
Somebody hear me out

Father listen
Tell him that he's got a home and he don't have to go
Father save him
I would do anything in return
I'll clean my room
Try hard in school
I'll be good
I promise you
Father, Father
I pray to you

I wanna be daddy's little girl. :D but then the lyrics are soo sad. :(
:))

>WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR BESTIE?
If I Ain't Got You by Alicia Keys

Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you baby
If I ain't got you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you, Yeah

Yeeah, if I ain't got my bestie. ;)

>WHAT DO YOU THINK WHEN YOU SEE THE PERSON YOU LIKE?
Love and Marriage by Frank Sinatra

Love and marriage, love and marriage
Go together like a horse and carriage
This I tell you brother
You cant have one without the other

Love and marriage, love and marriage
Its an institute you cant disparage
Ask the local gentry
And they will say its elementary

I do NOT think of love and marriage! :|

>WHAT DO YOUR PARENTS THINK OF YOU?
She's Perfect by Jimmy Eat World

She's perfect in her own way
Smoke rings rising to the winter grey
She's perfect in her own way
Shining, stepping off a silver train


Flattered. *blushes* Too bad it's just a song. :))

>WHAT SONG WILL YOU DANCE TO AT YOUR WEDDING?
Hold On by Graham Colton

How long have I been spinning round your head?
So long I've been running round in circles
And for the longest time its been building up inside me
It's coming over the edge
And I step off that ledge and fall
Cause I can't hold, hold on
I can't hold, hold, hold on
So come here baby
Lets throw down all our cards
Cause I'm a king of spades
And your my queen of hearts
We can celebrate
And your lost at sea
And I will salivate
Please come to me
Cause I can't hold, hold on
I can't hold, hold on
No more prescriptions for the sickness yet come
It plaques us like we're first born sons
And we play this game
Now we're face to face
And I don't have the words
So I will cut to the chase
Oh but it hurts
And my hands will strain
At the touch of your face
Yeah the dragons slain
I fall from grace
Cause I can't hold, hold on
I can't hold, hold on

Isn't it strange how a lot of these things come out accurate? :P

>WHAT WILL THEY PLAY AT YOUR FUNERAL?
Fireworks by Plain White T's


Well I don't mind waiting 'til you're comfortable with me
But what's it gonna take to prove that I'm for real?
'Cause you know how I feel about you
You know I can't live without you
I just wanna stay and make it real

'Cause I know, you know
it can't get much better
Fireworks flyin' whenever we're together
I know, you know, that I know you love me

Well I've made up my mind that I want you to be the one
The one I wanna be with when I'm ninety-two

I just wanna feel you tonight
making sure the moment's just right
I could die just staring in your eyes
I just wanna feel your heartbeat
hold you even closer to me
Fall asleep with you right by my side
We'll see fireworks tonight


"I could die just staring into your eyes.... The one I wanna be with when I'm ninety-two...."
Ironic, huh? =))

God bless you guys! Take care always. ;)

-Nicah

Addict. o.O

I couldn't sleep without finishing the Bellossom (flowery pokemon) last night. XD Good thing this is probably going to be a short-term thing.

Those are Bellossom and Charmeleon. :D

By the way, the fiery effect didn't work with Charmeleon. :( Oh well.

Thanks! God bless, take care. :D

Nicah.

The power of fire. >:)

I'm a big Pokemon fan. Ever since I was 6 years old, I've loved it. <3 I memorize them better than the Periodic Table of Elements. :)) haha. Yeah.

Anyway. Here're a couple of drawings I did late last night/early this morning. I like 'em. ^.^ I edited them a few minutes ago, on Adobe Photoshop (Ver. 7.0). Not much editing, actually. :)) I just fixed the contrast, 'cause it came out blurry on the scan. And, I realized that when I adjusted to contrast, it looked like real fire. :)) Soo cool.

Those are Ponyta (horse thing) and Moltres (bird thingiee), by the way. :D

Please rate and comment! :)

God bless! Take care. :)

Psalm 31:5

Thnks Fr Th Mmrs

I like this song. It's by Fall Out Boy (whom are, by the way, having a concert this September in the Philippines). It's become very popular. Although there's one line I dislike: "In case God doesn't show...", the melody is cool. And so is how the title is spelled. XD

Okay, so I'm bored. :))

Take care, God bless. :)
