It Is the Season That Brings Love, Christmas Day!

Yey Christmas Day is nearly coming! My nerves aren't wasting function being sad today, but they too are patiently counting down the remaining hours before the most-awaited season of the year!

During this year-end occasion, I eat a lot of delectable delights (Well, everyone does!). These eyes I have are so craving that I couldn't resist eating luscious and mouth-watering food served, the expected result is.. I get fatter and heavier each year. My stomach's getting bigger too! Likewise, the sure thing I'm about being concerned is that every year I have always had an increase in weight, but no dramatic changes in height at all. With all those mind mumblings, happy hopes are fading and little lip curves are bending down, badly. Like this-- ): haha. Well, maybe it's about time to start the year right stop complaining about body figures and instead be thankful for all the things I have received through the whole of all accounts, for there have been hundreds of reasons to be grateful for, for the millions of blessings given to me. :)


Little ones from over modern generation are mostly having this "cliche" of what Christmas really means to them. Far more often, the first thing that comes to their mind when the 25th of December is coming, everything is kind of correlated to Santa Claus and his stuff. Some children are adhering to the fact that Santa's the one watching them, so they need to be good all the time. Christmas carols and treats and parties, are all part of a child's event excitement.


Several years ago I was also being oriented with the fancy image of Santa Claus giving gifts in the middle of the night, while riding on his sleigh pulled by reindeers. Prior to Christmas Day, I had sleepless nights hoping that one night I would be lucky enough to surprisingly spot Santa in the living room, putting beautifully wrapped presents under the Christmas tree. Because we didn't have those colorful ones some kids like me used to display as a decoration and ornament, I used my white school socks instead and hanged them on the walls of our house. With the every passing day had gone by, I had wished Santa would care to put anything on it and I would be so happy. 

From that time that I was flattered with great curiosity, as years passed and I began to grow older, I learned that the man with the long beard wearing red, who I thought will go down the chimney was nothing truthful. I learned that I didn't really need other fancy illusions, I have my own father and grandpa out there and they can be my true and living Santa Claus. Everybody should understand where the word "Christmas" really originated, then we will come up more glad knowing of what is the true essence of celebrating the yuletide season. It's all about Jesus Christ, our Savior.


I can now smell the cooling air of the season! Breezes. Hmm. I want to clap and jump excitedly as if it is New Year! Just lately I heard Jornacions will be having a family gathering tonight and I am looking forward to that event. I feel sad and so sorry, we didn't make it to join the Saure side. My cousin just called minutes ago and she was telling us here about the whole lot of fun going in there. She also said that except from us, every family member is present. Hey New Year, can you hear me? I wanna spend time with my other family right on your special day. I hope so. And since it is Christmas(lol), I wouldn't have a second thought to this. If I can just possibly give everyone a big hug I would do! <3 Hmm, I keep my fingers crossed that it wouldn't be just as pretty awkward for the both sides hahaha.

Aside from the fact that we will be celebrating the occasion once again as a whole family, my brother's missionary application was just recently submitted this month. Actually the papers were done even July but due to some other applicant's concerns, it was pended. And oh here's the click! Avid fans of him like me, should really know about this! I was just informed by a friend on Facebook through a video tag, about a special announcement David Archuleta made during his "My Kind of Christmas Tour" show held at Salt Lake City, Utah. You need to watch this~




Well after knowing his soon-to-come plans, I am now just as happy as who seemed to be the happiest person today. Lol. Thank you David for inspiring tons of people! Let's give love on this day and beyond! Merry Christmas to all! :D

I Am His Daughter

"Being a woman, I learned, means allowing myself to be constantly stirred by a spiritual locomotive known as grace. It means that I don’t have to fight to be better or stronger than others. It means that I am significant. Being a woman means that even just the clothes I wear can make an impact on people. It means I get to set a higher standard. It means that the beauty of my heart outweighs the beauty of my face. Being a woman, most of all, means I can be who I was called to be in Christ. It means redirecting my heart towards God, just God. It means He gets everything." -- A Woman of Praise

Every woman sent here on earth has a very special mission. So divine that God gave his trust to each of His daughters that they will be virtuous and full of grace, helping others to come closer to God and when the time comes, to live happily ever after in His presence. He loves us all. He wants us to become like Him. He wants us to be strong and courageous to face and overcome those barriers that will eventually come over our lives as we pursue our journey towards everlasting happiness. He knows each and everyone of us, who we are even in the pre-existence, our strengths and weaknesses, joys and triumphs. With His strength, nothing is impossible and we can do all things.

Here, as I was making a good turn searching some EFY(Especially For Youth) videos on Youtube, I came across listening to this one that gave me the positive mantra, to always remain pure and holy despite worldly possessions. After seeing this video and pondering upon it's lyrics, it was again brought into my remembrance that nobody is a "nobody", and that being His daughter means having great worth. I love my Heavenly Father and His son Jesus Christ so much! With their love and kindness, I am forever grateful to them! 
The photos in the magazines
Don't dictate who I'm supposed to be
The world can't recognize, all that I am inside
But I know in His eyes, I am a part of, the bigger picture

There's so much more to me
He helps me see that I have so much to offer
I am His daughter
He loves me the way I am,
He's my strength when I stand
He is my King, and my Father,
I am His daughter

The people on the TV screen,
The leaders, rulers, and queens
I watch them shape the world,
And though I'm just a girl, I still know for sure, 
That I am a part of, the bigger picture

There's so much more to me
He helps me see that I have so much to offer
I am His daughter
He loves me the way I am,
He's my strength when I stand
He is my King, and my Father,
I am His daughter

And when I'm feeling small,
And wondering if I'll ever, find courage to stand tall
Through His love I remember

There's so much more to me
He helps me to see that I have so much to offer
I am His daughter
He loves me the way I am
He's my strength when I stand
He is my King, and my Father,
I am His daughter
I am a child of great worth, chosen to be born in this time and generation.
I am His valiant daughter.
