Bro Eli, Mashable Awards finalist again!

After bagging the "Most Educational to Follow" award last year, Bro Eli Soriano is again one of the finalists for the Mashables Award 2010 under Best Web Video for his Truthcaster, a site where he does live broadcast on Wednesday nights. On this site, he also archives his previous tapings that discusses truth about the bible.

For those who do not know Bro Eli yet, he really is educational to follow. Why? Because he can talk about politics, astronomy, science, story of mankind,and  health. Mind you, he is a good counsellor, too. Just name anything under the sun and he can discuss intelligently with you. One thing more, he can openly discuss things that others may find a bit embarrassing to talk about. He is a straight-forward person with a very big heart.

In my almost eight years as member of the Church of God, I was able to follow and witness Bro Eli's struggle to keep up his vow to God, and that is to be the steward of truth. This promise has brought him a lot of heartbreaking experiences. One of which was, when those hopeless stewards of lies filed rape case against him having a very unreliable and no-credibity victim as their tool to pull him down. But nevertheless, of course, God's will was done. This opened doors for him and Bro Daniel to go worldwide and spread the Good Words to none-Filipinos. And now, he made it again to the finals for the Mashable Awards. Another feather on Church of God's cap. It only proves that if God's will, nobody can stand on His way (Isa 43:13).

In this year's finals, I bid him goodluck. May he bring home the bacon!

Happy Birthday, Kuya!

"Kuya" is a Filipino term used to give respect and gratitude to older male friend, cousin or older male sibling.

And we have a Kuya, that we do not only respect but its beyond that, we love him so much. The Kuya Daniel of ours, is far more than just a good big brother to all of us, he is actually great! He has touched many lives all over the globe through his advocacy.

 Our dear Kuya is famously known as Mr. Public Service as he has shown to whole world what the word really means. He is a  leader by example to all of us, the trait he learned from Bro Eli. He seems so untiring when it comes to doing something good for others. Selfless, I may say. I never saw anyone that has a big heart as his' and Bro Eli's. Though there are lots of detractors who keep on fabricating stories that intends to malign him, the truth still prevails and his shine just turns to be brighter every after each hit from the enemies.

After Kuya has been exiled from GMA7 because of some malicious ideas from nonsense critics, God made wonders. He opened a big door of opportunities for him to lead the congregation to do greater tasks and that is to do public service at its finest. He launched "Good Morning, Kuya" via UNTV37 after he left the mentioned network, and the show exhibit how brilliant he is. Aside from bringing real facts and informations to viewers,' boobtube, the show is also loaded of charity works, 100% all for free. A certified public servant that he is, Kuya Daniel along with Bro Eli, keeps on thinking on how to show the world that they love all human being that will their best just to reach out. And the ultimate mission is, to let God's words be known to all.

And even if Kuya Daniel is heading UNTV37, he is not particular on just giving news and latest updates. Few weeks ago, he launched a new campaign for UNTV News Team, the "Tulong Muna Bago Balita", (Help First Before doing News). He emphasized that its not important that correspondents give the freshest news when they miss the oppotunity to help others. Well, i dont know if other big networks can do so since they are working for profit and ratings only.

Yesterday, during Kuya's 27th birthday Thanksgiving celebration in Apalit, they have announced the latest project he launched in cooperation with Department of Education which is the Dunong Gulong Mobile School, a project designed to  help those adult learners, out of school youths, poor children and the like to get a chance to acquire knowledge even they have no means to support it. Well, I am sure that anytime from now, he will again reveal another big project that will surely delight our needy fellowmen.

I am quite sure, Our dear God will still keep the ideas pouring out of him. And thanks be to God, for giving this world a Kuya Daniel who is untiringly and zealously helping Bro Eli to guide and look over "us". Again, happy birthday Kuya!

Got it, at last!

I have been searching for lyrics and MP4 copy of this song. At last, I got it.. And now, I will let them memorize this for the upcoming International Thanksgiving on December. Better start practice this early so the preparation would be better... This is one of my favorites (Is it obvious?)

I played this song for hours and I am again recharged. TGBTG! Singing songs of praises for Him is my energizer eversince. Even if I got the worst voice in the group, I dont care. Eat your hearts out.

Til next post, guys..

El nino is on!

Yes, EL NINO is on! It's on on you, my blogsite! Sad but true.

But hey! Dont worry weavedthoughts, just wait a little more time and I will again put entries for you. I already started a few but, you know, I am still half way on each topic. Nevertheless, I will definitely finish all those pending works for you. Hopefully, until next week.

Know what, I have been so disturbed lately. Well, its about things that really should'nt bother me at all. I am here not just to earn money but for "you-know-what". it blocks me still on what I have to accomplish- which is the most important of all. These blockers are also the reasons why I dont talk to you often for the last months. For your info, Its not only you that I have neglected, there are also some duties that I was not able to give a little attention, at least. These blockers came for reasons that I cannot anymore put across this entry, I will just whispher to you later if you promise that you can keep a secret.(LOL). This evil Satan is surely reading what I am writing now and he should'nt know what I have in my mind.

Since I was baptized, I have not experienced anything that affected and disturbed me and my duty so much, not until these things came. This time its different. But dont worry, friend. I am still ok. A prayer is enough to comfort myself. I am praying so hard that God may help and direct me to the best decision I need to execute. I know, He will hear me.

I donated blood today! (10-10-10)

Yes, you heard it right! I have given off one pint of blood today. After several times of attempting to donate blood, at last, this time I finally qualified- and I am so glad.

So here's what happened on my first time: While i was lying there, I got annoyed waiting for the attendant to check whether on which arm she'll take blood. Why will I not get annoyed, she checked on my veins not once but maybe almost five times! I also got a bit confused and nervous because the two guys behind me in the queue was already done and they are still checking on me! According to the attendant, my veins are too small so they really need to check very carefully. Anyway, it doesn't matter anymore now. When she finally injected the needle, luckily, it was successful at first try.

Actually, I was a bit scared, too. But as what i always do in circumstances that makes my heart beat 100x faster than the normal rate, I thought about something else to divert my attention. Since the Blood Donation Drive was one of the activities for our TV program's anniversary, I thought about how the program will run  later since the last time we had this kind of activity was a big blast, it was pretty cool and enjoy! Hmm, well guys that is another story I will tell on my next blog.I am just sharing what i have thought so I wont have a faint heart as they draw blood from me.

Kidding aside, the reason why I am so eager to donate blood is mainly because, my preachers have taught me to do so. Giving blood will save lives. More so, I am not rich. donating blood is a no-cash-out act of extending assistance to others in need. It made me realized too, that as long as a person wants to help, there will surely be a way.

In the midst of my less sleep-and-not-so-stress-free life, just a tablet of GNC mega women a day will be great help so I can be a donor again. I promise myself that I will treat again my soul with this good deed after a three months, God willing.

So long, guys!
