Today's Best Site: Leaf 2
September 30, 2008 - I was sitting all bored in front of the computer, searching fo something interesting on Youtube and on the world wide web. Then I came across with a music video of Take me out of the dark, my previous Last Song Syndrome. Its not the song that captured my attention but the clips behind it. Clips taken from Donghaeng.net - our Today's Best Site.
Donghaeng.net was created by an "unknown" Korean "man". Now let me tell why did i say "unknown" and "man". i said "unknown" because I couldnt find any form of acknowledgment. He probably intends to hide his identity, although i found one of the tabs two nouns - Kiro and Donghaeng. Im not sure if Donghaeng is indeed a name of person, but im sure Kiro is. Now for the "man" part, well the caricature is a man so it probably represents the creator of the site.
Anyway going back to the discussion about the site, I was honestly amazed to know that the site was created by a Korean. I am not being xenophobic and all here, its just that most of my Korean friends are atheist. In addition to that, what i like most about the site is the Diary, the PrayerRoom, and the Flash Gallery. In the Diary and the PrayerRoom, members can post their reflections, promises, requests for prayers or personal prayers, thoughts, and meditations. on the other hand, Flash gallery is simply an exhibit room of the site's interpretation of biblical passages.
Overall, this site is interesting and enlightening. Well I admit, i am not all religious and stuff like other people. I dont preach biblical passages, I dont scream "Hallelujah" on the streets, nor do I join prayer rallies and concerts. I dont even read the Bible, I havent tried and the only concert I go to are that of my favorite bands. I dont look down to people who do things that I've stated. To each is own. As for me all I know is I know what to believe, I have my own faith and i have my set of morals. I pray to the creator I know, and I go to church every Sunday not because I believe what that church is teaching me, but because it's the place where me and my creator have a date. It's just our time. Im no religious like what I said, I'm spiritual. I'm not a loyal church member and I dont have my saints either. How about you? What's your stand?

The 9/11 Myspace post
He stays up for days on end.
You take a warm shower to help you wake up.
He goes days or weeks without running water.
You complain of a "headache", and call in sick.
He gets shot at as others are hit, and keeps moving forward.
You put on your anti war/don't support the troops shirt, and go meet up with your friends.
He still fights for your right to wear that shirt.
You talk trash about your "buddies" that aren't with you.
He knows he may not see some of his buddies again.
You walk down the beach, staring at all the pretty girls.
He patrols the streets, searching for insurgents and terrorists.
You complain about how hot it is.
He wears his heavy gear, not daring to take off his helmet to wipe his brow.
You go out to lunch, and complain because the restaurant got your order wrong.
He doesn't get to eat today.
Your maid makes your bed and washes your clothes.
He wears the same things for weeks, but makes sure his weapons are clean.
You go to the mall and get your hair redone.
He doesn't have time to brush his teeth today.
You're angry because your class ran 5 minutes over.
He's told he will be held over an extra 2 months.
You call your girlfriend and set a date for tonight.
He waits for the mail to see if there is a letter from home.
You hug and kiss your girlfriend, like you do everyday.
He holds his letter close and smells his love's perfume.
You roll your eyes as a baby cries.
He gets a letter with pictures of his new child, and wonders if they'll ever meet.
You criticize your government, and say that war never solves anything.
He sees the innocent tortured and killed by their own people and remembers why he is fighting.
You hear the jokes about the war, and make fun of men like him.
He hears the gunfire, bombs and screams of the wounded.
You see only what the media wants you to see.
He sees the broken bodies lying around him.
You are asked to go to the store by your parents. You don't.
He does exactly what he is told even if it puts his life in danger.
You stay at home and watch TV.
He takes whatever time he is given to call, write home, sleep, and eat.
September 17, 2008 - I got this from a bulletin post in my MySpace account posted by my friend tok3d. This goes out for all the soldiers out there, facing gunshots to protect their countrymen. You're bravery is very much appreciated and our prayers are with you.

Last Song Syndrome: Episode 3
September 14, 2008 - For this week's Last Song Syndrome, let me share to you one of my favorite OPM song. It was written by Gary Valenciano (aka Gary V. aka Mr. Pure Energy) in the year 1988 and released in the same year in his album entitled Heart and Soul. This song, I believe have survived the test of time. For 2 decades now, the song is still hitting radiowaves (although not that often, but the point is it is still remembered) and even on YouTube (though it may not have the big view rates like Brit's Freak dance on MTV VMA '07).
Now let me tell you something why this song is dearly special to me. Since I was in high school, I always run to this song every time depression slap hard on me. There is just something about this song that comforts me. Probably the words, or the rhythm or meter or notes (Hello, Sir PAcs), anyway my point is there is something about this song that may help you pass through. Whatever that is, it doesnt matter. Give it try. Listen to it. Who knows it may enlighten you or something. Oh! and like in the usual LSS episodes, I've highlighted some lines.. how about you? Which lines do you like most?

Take Me Out of the Dark
by: Gary Valenciano
Just what is it in me?
Sometimes I just don't know
What keeps me in Your love,
Why you never let me go
And though you're in me now,
I fall and hurt you still
My Lord, please show me how
To know just how you feel
You have forgiven me
Too many times it seems
I feel I'm not what you might call
A worthy Christian after all
And though I love You so
Temptation finds its way to me
Teach me to trust in You
With all my heart
To lean not on my own understanding
I just forget
You won't give me what I can't bear
Take me out of the dark, my Lord
I don't wanna be there
You've never left my side
You gave Your hand to me to hold
Oh Jesus, I'm no longer in the cold
And yet, I leave You there
When I feel satisfied
I'd like to thank You every day
Not only when I feel that way
I've never known a Man
Who'd give His life for sinners like me
And yet, because He loves us so
He's promised us eternity
And we can have that promise
And be His if we have faith
And just believe
Teach us to trust in you
With all my heart
To lean not on my own understanding
We just forget
You won't give us what we can't bear
Take us out of the dark, My Lord
'Cause we don't want to be alone
Take me out of the dark, My Lord
We don't wanna be there, My Lord
Trust in You with all my heart
Lean not on my own understanding
I just forget
You won't give me what I can't bear
Take me out of the dark, My Lord
Cause we don't want to be alone
Take me out of the dark, My Lord
I don't want to be there

I'm not religious, nor am I converting you into whatever religion. Let's just say I'm spiritual. I have my faith, you have yours. Let's keep it that way.

You know usual stuffs that’s students do to please their crazy teachers. Anyway, I am back with bunch loads of new features for my humble blog. First is the new skin. Oh! I love it! I really had this huge crush on him. He is so sexy and a good family man. Plus if I add his character from Grey’s Anatomy which is Dr. McDreamy err Dr. Derek Shepherd, surely no blind girl wouldn’t fall for him. So to inspire me to write rose-colored glasses writings I made my Dr. McDreamy as my blogskin. *applause*
In relation to my skin I have added a few headers on the right side. Now, let me explain to you why the headers are named such.
