I rarely watch Filipino flick because sometimes the storyline is too cheap and weak. I'm tired of watching Rom-Com unless it is a Piolo or John Lloyd flick :) LOL With less than seven days, we are looking forward for the battle of the Century - the Manny Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather fight on May 2.

“Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves.” -Abraham Lincoln If you watched the historical epic flick, Lincoln wherein Daniel Day-Lewis starred as United States President Abraham Lincoln so this blog post is dedicated to you. It was in 2012 when the movie was shown in theaters. We were rewarded to watched this epic drama after our office and though it was not the usual type of storyline which was more of a conversation type movie - you'll get bored. But not me - his life becomes an inspiration to everybody. All of his words were meaningful. Ika nga, "hugot" quotes. Springfield, Illinois - whenever the Amtrak stopped to this station.

Having a great interest in History, I am so passionate that one day I will visit this place and spend a day in Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum. If you're looking for some Civil war materials, manuscripts, newspapers and any other support

Where did you celebrate Easter Sunday? while kids were very busy searching for Easter eggs, some families were celebrating in their homes orwent out to dine like us.

Maundy Thursday

Maundy Thursday - My first experience to practice the tradition of visiting seven churches in USA. It was explain to us that "seven churches" were meant to be the seven stations that were made by Jesus on his way to Calvary: 1st visit Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane (Luke 22: 39-46) 2nd Visit: Jesus bound and taken before Annas (John 18: 19-22) 3rd Visit: Jesus taken before the High Priest, Caiaphas (Matthew 26: 63-65) 4th Visit: Jesus taken before Pilate (John 18,35-37) 5th Visit: Jesus taken before Herod (Luke 23: 8-9; 11) 6th Visit: Jesus taken before Pilate again (Matthew 27: 22-26) 7th Visit: Jesus given the crown of thorns and led to his crucifixion (Matthew 27: 27-31) [gallery columns="5" ids="10115,10116,10117,10118,10119,10120,10121,10122,10123,10124"] As we enter the most holy days, this is the best time for you to repent and offer a prayer.
