In the World of Social Networking

Social networking is fun I can't say anything about it. It helped not only me to easily connect with my old friends but my relatives outside the country. I have facebook and twitter account and I was able to gain new friends by joining those social networking sites which made social networking fun but remember that you have to be responsible and you need to make sure that you protect yourself just think of the word "privacy" Well it is not only the persons who are  listed on your friends list are the only person who can read your wallposts or comments but also those people who are listed on the friends list of your friends. Now, you need to make use of the "privacy settings" there might be information that you posted on your wall or comments that you posted that you don't want other people to see so you better be careful. If possible, avoid posting your address, email address, or telephone number on your profile. In terms of being responsible make sure that you don't just post anything that can offend someone. Always think that everyone can read your wallpost this is just a way to show respect to other people. Social networking is fun but we need to be responsible.

Iron Man 3 on 2013

Just watched Iron Man in HBO the other day and I got nothing else to do so I went online surfing. I read that there will be a third Iron Man film that will be out on 2013. I was surprised because I thought he will be back on the big screen with the Avengers. This is quite exciting because I get to see the characters on the big screen which I used to see in comic books when I was young. I guess we especially comic fans out there are so happy and one of them is my boyfriend. Robert Downey Jr sure did a good job playing the role of Tony Stark in Iron Man.

Ordering Pizza Using Paypal

I have no money and I am craving for pizza. I don't know what to do because my wallet is back home and I am at work thinking on how I can eat pizza. Then I thought how about I buy pizza using PayPal. Oh well I just thought of it but I don't think I can do that because PayPal is new here in the Philippines and I haven't heard of any local merchants accepting PayPal. But for the sake of pizza I tried to check websites of various pizza restaurants and I finally found one that accepts PayPal and that I Shakeys. Now I love Shakeys because they solved my problem for today =P

My brother and I were having problems uploading the photo slideshow that he made in YouTube or facebook. Whenever we tried to upload the video it will show something about copyright thingy. My brother cannot understand what's happening so he tried uploading the video couple of times to the extent that his video uploading was disabled by facebook. Going back to YouTube it shows the same thing so my brother was so frustrated that he asked for my help. I explained the that it was a copyright issues and to avoid the said issue I suggested that he use audio swap option where he will need to choose a music that he can apply to his video. You can access audio swap by editing the video that you uploaded. Bu the problem is my brother does not want to use other music than the one that he used. Now one of my friend told me to do this.

Scream 4



I was so excited to watch Scream 4 because I’ve been a fan of Scream movies since I was in high school. I actually think that suspense movies in the 90s are way better than suspense movies that they are producing today.  I enjoyed the film but I think it is not the same as the other Scream movies. I’m quite disappointed with the movie in a way I think that the story is so simple and I think the story is not as good as the other Scream movies. Good thing on this movie is I get to see the stars of the old Scream movies and I can say that they’re good. There are some scary scenes but it is not that scary and the only thing that disappointed me on this film is the story. Well this is just based on my opinion guys it always depend on the viewers. To those peeps who watched the feel free to express your opinion about the film. J

Boracay One of Our Treasure

All of us here in the Philippines knows where Boracay is and most of us have been there and we can all say that it is for real one of the best beaches here in the Philippines. As a proof it has been recognized internationally by  Travel + Leisure Magazine. It was ranked as the fourth best island in the world on its annual "Worlds Best Awards." It was the first time that Boracay was recognized by the said magazine. TripAdvisor.com, a travel site that collates user-generated content, ranked the  said island the best beach in Asia and second worldwide in their 2011 “Traveler’s Choice. We truly are proud of Boracay and to be honest we are not only proud of Boracay but we have other tourist destinations that we can all say world class.

Steven Spielberg Plans for Another Jurassic Park Trip

This is a big news to all moviegoers or Steven Spielberg fans out there. He said that  man-eaters are returning to a movie theater near you. He just told the audiences at the Comic-Con International Convention that he was at work on a new Jurassic Park movie. I remember I used to watch Jurassic Park when I was a kid to be honest I used to watch it over and over in our VHS player. Spielberg said "We have a story. We have a writer working on the script, and I think we will see a 'Jurassic 4' in our foreseeable future, probably in the next two or three years."This is going to be fun and I am excited to watch this film together with my nephews I'm sure they will love it. 

Basketball with NBA Stars

Our local basketball players here had a game with NBA stars today. We had fun watching the game though everyone is expecting that our local players will lose against Kobe Bryant and his team. Everyone is having fun watching the NBA players show their moves. I feel sorry for those local players I mean they are all performing well but on tonight's game you can clearly see their difference but I'm sure they are all excited playing with those NBA peeps. By the way the NBA players who played today are Kobe Bryant, Derek Fisher, Tyreke Evans, Derek Rose, James Harden, Chris Paul, Kevin Durant, and Derrick Williams. While James Yap and Marc Pingris of BMeg, Mark Caguioa and JC Intal of Ginebra, Arwin Santos and Rabeh Al-Hussaini of Petron Blaze, Ryan Reyes, Jason Castro and Larry Fonacier of Talk N’ Text, Sonny Thoss and LA Tenorio of Alaska, Sol Mercado of Meralco, Gary David of Powerade, Gabe Norwood of Rain or Shine and Danny Seigle of Air21 represents the PBA team. I watched in on TV it was fun to watch but I feel sorry for the poor signal. I'm sure others who watched in on TV feels the same way.

Jack and Jill

I love Adam Sandler's films I think he is really funny. I am excited to watch his new film Jack and Jill not just because it is a comedy movie and it stars Adam Sandler but the cast also includes Katie Holmes. I love Katie ever since the Dawson's Creek days so you can say I am really excited. Jack and Jill is about a family man who is forced to deal with his twin sister from the Bronx comes to Los Angeles for a visit then won't leave.

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows

Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson are back to bring down their fiercest adversary, Professor Moriarty. Yes Sherlock Holmes is back on the big screen and I can't wait to watch it. Been watching the said film over and over in HBO. I've been a fan of Sherlock Homes ever since I was in high school that is why I am so excited to watch it again in the big screen. I think it would be exciting and funny movie based on its trailer.

Off to a Good Start

I woke up early today and I have nothing to do so I decided to go online and check my facebook account. Yes my facebook account. Then after I'm done with my facebook I went to check my blog and I thought hmmm it will be nice if I can add a forum page on my site then I saw this really cool blog post in BloggerStop.Net that helped me put a forum page in my blog. I must say what I learned from that site is really nice. I've been blogging for months and I never thought I can add up a forum page on my site. But anyway, please visit Gee Forum I know there's nothing on there right now but I will really appreciate if you will post your ideas or the topics you want to discuss that you have in mind in my forum site.

Time to Learn Muay Thai

You see I'm off this week but next week I'll start to get busy with work and muay Thai. I registered to a muay Thai lesson and it will start next week. For those peeps who doesn't have an idea what muay Thai is it is a  combat sport from Thailand that uses stand-up striking along with various clinching techniques. If you have watched Ongbak then you have definitely seen some muay Thai action. Muay Thai is sometimes called as the "Art of Eigth Limbs" or "Science of Eight Limbs" because makes use of punches, kicks, elbows and knee strikes, consequently using eight points of contact unlike other sports such as boxing which uses firsts (two point of contact) and sports-oriented martial arts (four points). You see it is good to know at least one combat technique that way I can defend myself in case I ran into a situation which I need to defend myself. I'm not just learning how to defend myself but at the same time it helps me get fit. My brothers are pretty surprised when I told them that I enrolled to a Muay Thai lesson because they thought that I would never ever want to learn muay Thai. 

Taking Off

I am on leave for a week but now I'm starting to get bored with not doing anything. My friends told me to go out of town but I don't think that this is a good time because of the rainy season. Well anyway I'm thinking of good ways to spend the day so that I will not get bored. First thing on my mind is to clean the house. Yes clean the house specially my room. You see if I clean the house I won't be bored and at the same time I'll be productive and my mom will love me. Next learn to cook new recipe. I'm no good cook but I can learn so that would be a great idea anyway we can find recipes online which makes it easier. Third is to watch a movie either in a movie theater or watch a DVD. Going in a movie theater is quiet expensive but it will be fun because I get to go out but if I want to save money then maybe I can go out and rent DVD. Well there are lots of things that we can do but these three will definitely work for me.

Application that Memorize Passwords




There are times that I forget my password and it really makes me mad whenever that happens. I mean specially if you need to do something important right? Well good news to iPhone users out there you guys can download the PasswordGrea iPhone app and forgetting your password is no longer your problem. Well it uses a mnemonic aid called Hookup System that helps you match password characters. Once you install the said app you will be asked to enter the password or generate a random password. Then you will build up a story from objects and people which relate to your password characters then you will have to pass memory test. Just and FYI mnemonic technique is not new but the iPhone application is just want to let you know.

Google Chrome Experience


I have been using computer since I was like fourteen and I love to surf the net because there are lot of information you can find out there. Now that I know how to customize my own computer I want to share my experience in web browsers. I use internet explorer 8 and Google chrome. But before I started using Google chrome I used Firefox and opera. I can say that I’m really satisfied with Google chrome because it is fast, user friendly, and you don’t need to install flash player just to be able to view sites that requires flash player. In order to watch videos in YouTube once you install Firefox you will have to install flash player but with Google chrome you don’t have to it will automatically play. I still love internet explorer though but for the time being Google chrome is what I need.

Computer Buying Tips

I used to work in a computer company and back then I was assigned in sales department. That is when I learned how to buy computers. You don’t really buy computers based on what they have I mean you go and buy top of the line PCs because you know that they have everything but you will only need a computer to play solitaire or use Microsoft office. Well if you are rich and you really don’t care about the price then of course you can go ahead and buy the most expensive computer that you can find but for regular folks being wise in purchasing a computer is important.
We don’t want to buy a computer that will not meet our needs do we? So the first thing that we need to do is to assess ourselves. What do we really need? What are we going to do with our PC? How much budget do we have? If you are into multimedia such as photo editing, online surfing, watching movies online then I suggest that you choose a decent system which has enough member let’s say at least 2GB of memory and at least 250GB HDD. You should get a decent processor core 2 duo will do. An internal video card is okay buy if you have extra money getting a video card is better.  I can’t literally list down all the specs that I have in mind but the bottom line is choose a pc according to your needs that way you’ll get a PC that will meet your needs and at the same time you’ll be able to save money.

Daddy ‘till Next Time

My officemate is having a hard time right now because her dad is in the hospital and he’s not doing well. She asked me what I did when my dad died. I told her “I cried.” Looking back fourteen years ago I was so young back then I don’t know how to show my emotions which means my dad died and I haven’t expressed how happy I am to be his daughter and that I love him so much. Sometimes I wonder what my life will be if dad is didn’t died. I remember by daddy as a funny, hard working, and very loving man. I was only 12 back then and he was so proud to have a daughter who’s entering her teenage years and I don’t know why. My dad loves us so much that he always make sure that he have time to hang out with his kids even just by taking us to the park (if he’s really busy). I remember that I used to tell all my classmates that my daddy is good looking and my classmates would give me a disappointed look whenever they see my dad (lol) But anyway, even if they give me a thousand good looking dads in the world I will still choose my daddy. I regret that I was not able to tell him how I feel. I learned from his sudden death that it is important to tell or show the person you love how much you appreciate them before its too late. Sometimes I miss my dad and there are times that I feel that I need my daddy next to me and I know that he’s watching over us. Daddy ‘till next time.. I love you and I miss you.

The First Avenger

My birthday is next week and I’m planning to spend it by watching Captain America: The First Avenger. The movie won’t last the whole day though but that is the first thing that I will do on that day. The movie trailer seems interesting. I’m no Captain America fan but I think I’d like see Chris Evans play the role of the first avenger. I don’t know what is in Captain America’s shield so I’m sure to find that out on July 22. The film will be released on July 22nd aside from Chris Evans it also stars Hugo Weaving as Johann Schmidt or The Red Skull and Nathalie Dormer as Private Lorraine.

Storyline:
After being deemed unfit for military service, Steve Rogers volunteers for a top secret research project that turns him into Captain America, a superhero dedicated to defending America's ideals.

Excited for Christmas!

Yeah! you can say that I am excited for christmas. I don’t know what got into me but I woke up today thinking about christmas. Christmas is my favorite time of the year though I grew up without knowing most of my “ninong”  (godfather) and “ninang” (godmother). My entire life the only godmother that I know  is my tita the others I didn’t even know their names. But anyway I’m still excited for the holidays. I know it is too early but come to think of it’s already July which means five months more and it’s christmas again. I am currently listening to a christmas music right now “Have Yourself a Merry Christmas” and I feel so happy. Whenever I want to feel happy I tend to listen to christmas music. I guess you can say that I’m really weird but a simple thing can make me happy which makes me proud of myself. I like christmas because it is the time of the year where I see everyone dear to me and I can see everyone happy.  Every christmas I participate in a small activity where we give gifts to all the children in our neighborhood and sometimes I share some gifts if I have money.

Childhood Crush

I am not a sweet girl and I never been popular with boys when I was in grade school but I’m still a girl so I have a crush back then. Reason why I started talking about childhood crush is because I saw him the other day and I suddenly remember what I was like back then. I remember that whenever I see him I would hide somewhere but I feel so happy whenever his near me. But don’t get me wrong I mean although I have a crush when I was in grade school I started dating when I was eighteen years old. I’m not good looking unlike my friends and I like to study a lot I’m not like my friends who likes to go out and have fun in short guys definitely find me a little bit boring to hang out with. I have friends and most of them are boys because I like things that most guys like such as playing video games and I love computer maybe that’s another reason. Oh well I might be a little bit off track but anyway going back to what I have said I saw him and when I saw him I didn't feel anything but I wanted to laugh because when I saw him it reminds me on how I was before.

Busy All Day?

Like what I said in my old post about the homeless old woman, I was advised to call the Local Social Services Development in Quezon City. Beth Salinas from DSWD gave me these numbers 926-9344/927-1588 and to my surprise these numbers are busy or whatever. Been trying to contact the said department the whole day yesterday but I was very unfortunate. I am starting to feel really sorry for the poor old woman. I can’t imagine why Beth Salinas wouldn’t help me. I mean after all she works for DSWD I guess she can at least relay the situation to Social Services Development but I guess she doesn’t really care at all. I make sure that I can give her something to eat before going to work but I’m sure that giving her food is not enough and besides that food that I am giving is not enough for her to survive the whole day. I wish that she someone will give her a good place to stay with people that cares about her. I really hate those people who will not just keep their mouth shut but instead I guess the old lady is an eye sore for them that are why they are very determined in throwing her away. Maybe the least thing that they can do is to to show some respect because that old woman is still a human being. I hope someone will help her because I don’t know what to do.

Amy Adams as Lois Lane

Amy Adams will play the role of Lois Lane in the upcoming Superman film which is set to release in 2012. I was just wondering why they changed the actors/actress that played Superman and Lois Lane in the previous film. Well I like Amy Adams but I was just wondering why? Anyway, whatever reason they have I know for sure that a lot of Superman fans out there will still be excited to watch the said film. I was surprised when I found out that Amy Adams is the new Lois Lane. I started to like Amy when I watched her film Enchanted and Leap Year. I'm not a big fan of Superman though but my boyfriend is. But since Amy will be on that film I guess I will watch it. =)

Anyone Who Care?

I was on my way home when I saw this old woman. She's a homeless woman that stays in Philcoa. I have been seeing her for the past few years. Before I believe she's okay but she's now blind and I believe she needs medical help. Like what I said I saw her in Philcoa as usual but this time I felt so sad and sorry for her. I'm also mad to all those people who thinks they are better that she is. I saw them throwing water on her and some people would make her go away. One thing is for sure she doesn't know what they are doing and as a normal person would you do that? I can't help it I cried when I saw what's happening. I told my boyfriend to go to her and give her food but he told me not to because all those people will get mad at us of what we will do. I don't know what to do. I feel so useless because I can't do anything for her. I want to give her shelter and food. I want to take care of her but what can I do? I live in a small place and I'm the only one working which means I may not be able to give her enough help that she needs. I called Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) but they referred me to local social service here in QC. I was quite frustrated because they refused to help me but instead they referred me to local services which I can understand if that is the process but with the situation at hand they could have done something. I know that there are rules or process that they need to follow but if they have a heart they could have at least tried to help her. I will try to call QC local social services and I'll pray that they will have a heart to help her. I can't sleep and I'm worried on what will happen to that old woman.

Charice to Sing the Theme Song for Japanese TV Series

Charice may not be in Glee Season 3 but the she will be singing the theme song for a new Japanese drama titled “Bull Doctor” The title of the said theme song is “Far as the Sky” The said TV series was aired on July 6 in Nihon TV Network.  It stars Makiko Esumi she plays the role of Tamami known as the “Bull Doctor.” Tamami is a forensic doctor who uses any means necessary to uncover the truth. Because of this she is often butting heads with a passionate detective  and fellow forensic doctor. I’m sure a lot of Filipinos are excited to watch this drama because they are excited to hear Charice’s song. Based on the concept of the TV series I think this will be an exciting TV series.

Are You a Senior Citizen?

Are you a senior citizen? The cashier asked me that question when I went to Eunilaine. It is a grocery store in Kalayaan. I work in a call center which means I know pretty sure how to deliver excellent customer experience. And that day I had a bad experience from one their cashier.  I was so hungry so I rushed to Eunilaine to buy something that I can prepare for lunch. There are different counters so I went to one it shows “Senior Citizen Lane” It does not mean that it is for senior citizens only but that counter prioritizes senior citizens. The cashier asked me “are you a senior citizen ma’am?” I said no and she said for senior citizens only sorry. So I decided to transfer to another counter. While waiting for my turn I saw one customer about as the same age as I am went to the senior citizen lane and was assisted by that cashier. You can imagine how pissed I am that day. I was so aggravated that I asked for a manager to complain. I never experienced complaining to someone but I guess that situation made me so mad that I felt that I really need to do something about it.

Pizza for Breakfast

Working in a call center industry requires you to be flexible. When we say flexible we really mean flexible because we are following the time in the US and given that we are in Asia means working on graveyard shift. We went out to a break and ate in Yellow Cab. Yellow Cab is quite popular with peeps working in call center. So like I said we went to Yellow Cab and we order my favorite “Manhattan Meatlovers” A 14” of the said pizza costs around 575.00 Php and it is good for 4-5 persons. It is called meatlovers because it has ham, pepperoni, Italian sausage, ground beef, salami and bacon. Together with ice cold soda makes it even perfect. I also love their New York’s finest but I like Manhattan meatlovers more.  They even have a promo right now where you’ll get a 10” pizza for free whenever you purchase 18” pizza on the 10th of the month. It has a lot of calories so for those peeps that are so conscious with their figure you guys better slow down. Yellow Cab is one of my favorite but I also love Shakeys, Pizza Hut, and Pizza Company so you can say that I love pizza so much.

At Last Another Takashi Sorimachi Drama

I promised myself that I will no longer watch a drama the same as "1 Liter of Tears" but I can't help it since this time Takashi Sorimachi plays the lead role. I have been searching for his dramas lately because I like his light and heart warming dramas but I guess he has taken it on a different level this time. The title of his new drama is "Good Life~Arigato, Papa, Sayonara" It is a story of a man who's so focused on his job and doesn't have time with his family. Until his wife died he started to notice his son's love but when he decided to love his son back he found out that he has leukemia. I haven't watched it yet but I will later just want to share this to everyone because this is a story that happens in everyday life. We all know that we want to give good life to our family we sometimes prioritize our work. Based on the comments that I have read all of them said that this drama made them cry so I better prepare myself.

Final Destination 5

I was watching TV yesterday when I run into Starmovie's VIP access. It features upcoming movies and one of their feature film is Final Destination 5. I was suprised to see that because I didn't expect that it will have another sequel. In all four movies the first one is what I liked the most. I love the cast and it is a pure suspense movie unlike the other three movies I mean specially the third and fourth because it feel like it is a gore film. I hope the fifth film will not be another gore film but instead I would love they will stick to the basic I mean same concept as the first film but anyway I am not saying that the rest of its sequels are not good but I just want to say that I like the concept of the film. Among the casts are the following Nicholas D'Agosto, David Koechner, Tony Todd,Emma Bell. The said film is set to release August 12, 2011. I sure fans of the said movie will be excited to watch another Final Destination franchise this year. The movie is directed by Steven Quale. I'm sure I will enjoy this film.

Charice is No Longer in Glee Season 3

Charice as we all know is a good singer. And all of us here in the Philippines were so excited when we found out that she'll be joining Glee Season 2. Everyone is excited and most of the people I know watched Glee and it was even in the news. But now Charice will no longer appear on the 3rd season of the hit show. The show's creator Ryan Murphy said that Charice will no longer reprise her role as Sunshine Corazon (the exchange student. He also said that there will be no changes in season three, no celebrity guests, and characters will be doing less singing. 

Takashi Sorimachi "Hotman"

I have mentioned in my previous post that I am a fan of Takashi Sorimachi. His drama that I love the most is HOTMAN. It is a story of a man who's always in a fight when he was in high school. His mom is an actress and he has siblings but they all have different fathers. Their mother passed away and from then on he's the on taking care of his siblings. One day a baby showed up and it comes with a letter telling him that it is his baby. He took good care of his baby but it turned out that his baby has a disease called " atopic dermatitis". Because of that disease Enzo (Sorimachi) became so conscious of Nanami's (his daughter) diet. The story doesn't just evolve in their relationship as father and daughter but with their relationship as a family. I'm thinking of there is a person as good as his character is because he is so concerned of his family and he makes sure that he will solve every problem there is before the day ends. I can watch the said movie over and over because it is very heart warming and I learned a lot from that drama. I know how hard it is being an eldest child because everybody has high expectations from you.

Entertaining and Educational "Amaya"

Not a big fan of primetime soaps but I just find "Amaya" an interesting soap because of its concept. The said soap helps remind us "Filipinos" about the Philippine culture. We used to like historical dramas of other countries such like Jumong so why can't we have our own? This is a good way to make our kids gain interest in studying our culture. I remember when I was in grade school I used to get bored whenever we discuss our culture because no longer existing I mean we can tell that our culture has been forgotten because we keep on embracing new things. Don't get me wrong because change is good but do maintain our culture is a way of being proud of whom we are. I know that it is just a soap and people keep on saying that it didn't happen in the past so why do we consider that as something that will remind us of our culture. It is not because it didn't happen in the past or Amaya doesn't really exist but the concept or showing the Philippine culture to everybody through soap is a good idea. I sure grade schools will have fun discussing topics about Philippine culture because they can see it on TV.

All in the Name of "Promotion"

My officemates are all going crazy because we are all dreaming of being promoted this year. But there is a big chance that all our efforts will go to waste because of one person. That person loves to hang out with our "BOSS" because she's hoping thats he'll get the post that way. I'm sure she knows how to win the game but her strategy is a big NO NO. Well I am not affected of what she's doing because I'm not on the same department and I'm doing this because I hate to see her everyday spending most of her time following her boss. Some of us wants to get something the easy way and not the hard way. I mean I'm not trying to be noble but I feel bad about those people who doesn't get what they want because they don't have enough time to chat with their boss because they're too busy doing their job? The way I see it that girl will definitely end up getting the post because she's consistent in tailing her boss anywhere. But I hope that her boss will have a good eye on who's deserving to the post. She's wise to choose that kind of strategy she might get the post but I don't think that she'll earn her officemate's respect because of what she's doing,

I Don't Know What to Do! My Dog Doesn't Want to Eat

I've been always busy with my work so I have my sister take care of my dogs while I'm at work. I just found out today that my dog is not eating much and I don't know what to do. I want to cry for I don't know what to feed him. Maybe we should visit his vet. I hope that this is just normal because I've read that if a dog is on heat they are not eating much. I don't want anything bad to happen to him so I'll do everything to help him.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2

I have watched Harry Potter for the past 10 years and it is really sad that this is the last installment of the said film. Everything has an end and everything has been great. For sure this is a good movie just like any other Harry Potter series. The said movie will be released on July and I will not going to miss it. They keep on comparing it with Twilight which I cannot understand because Twilight though it involves wolves and vampires is just a romance movie for me. Harry Potter is about magic and adventure. Of course there is a mix of teenage romance in it but in general it is an adventure. I’m sure a lot of Harry Potter fans will line up on the first day of its release so I need to get there early because I don’t want to fall in line. It is a good addition to my DVD collection. It is a good film for everybody and I hope that it has a good ending otherwise a lot of its fans will be disappointed. I posted its trailer below so if you haven’t watched the trailer feel free to play the video below.

Heaven and Hell

I saw a video clip in YouTube about a girl who died for 23hours and went to heaven and hell with God. He showed her heaven and hell so that she can tell everybody that there is heaven and hell. I didn’t know about that clip until my cousin showed it to me the other night. I watched that 6 part video and it made me wonder if my daddy is in heaven or hell. I heard that if you fail to forgive and be forgiven you will be sent to hell. I’m praying that my dad is in heaven because I don’t want his soul to suffer like those poor souls that were mentioned in that video.  It is true that it doesn’t matter if you serve in a church or not if you did not repent then you will go to hell. Parents should guide their children properly so they will live according to the Lords will and will not go to hell. I’m worried because I haven’t asked for forgiveness from my grandmother because we’re not in good terms since I was young. Now that I am an adult I should know better but the problem is it’s hard for me to say sorry. I know that it is not too late for me and everybody so I’ll change from now on.
