Just a Light Early January Chit Chat

Happy that I attended Church on the first day in January 2010. That will not automatically 'save' me, but as a believer, it recharges my faith, somehow.
I haven't had many things worth noticing at this very young 2010, most stuffs are still just the leftovers from 2009.

Talking about the leftover things, I forgot to write it down on my blog my favourite films throughout 2009. So here they are, the top three, starts from the most liked by me:

1. The Ugly Truth
I had started laughing at the beginning of this film. Very funny, and Gerard Butler is the sexiest man alive!I'm probably a bit biased, but the dance scene really possessed me and I even dreamed about it, but not with GB :-P This is a very light movie, you don't need to think at all cause there will be no time to think, you will not be able to restrain yourself to laugh.

2. This Is It
it changed my perception of the late Michael Jackson. He was indeed very passionate about the things that he loved, but I didn't know that he was that shy, and he was very humble too. I somehow believe that he was misunderstood by some people, but people who dislike him I'm sure also admit it that MJ was and is a great dancer and a genius in music and entertainment world. Glad that the producer of his last concert filmed the rehearsal sessions.

3. Avatar
A must see in 3D. Very cute story with great and cutting edge visual effects.

I must stop now, sleepy already, and oh, my best friend Leet will undergo a surgery tomorrow, please wish her a best luck and pray for her too.

Happy 2010 friends, may God gives us more power, more success and best luck. xoxo.

Many Tastes of Christmas

I thank Jesus for today. Never before I appreciated Christmas Eve as today, because last year in these days we were almost in total eclipse which was due to my Mom's health problem that made her has to be hospitalised. This afternoon when my family and I gathered at my parents' dining room to have little celebration of  Christmas Eve together, I couldn't stop thinking about last year when the situation was different 360 degree. I couldn't stop to think about people who are not as lucky as us today, to those who have their loved ones in weak condition suffering from sickness, even terminal illness and to those who have to deal with the death of their loved ones.

People always relate Christmas with joy and happiness, that's why they put "Merry" in front of Christmas. When Jesus was born, Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus were having tough time.

Let's all of us this Christmas also remembering and praying for those who are in state of illness and sadness, may Jesus comfort them. Amin.

I thank Jesus, my Lord, my God, my Comforter and my Savior. Merry Christmas everyone, remember that Jesus always be with us in any circumstances, we are never alone. xoxo.

IntenseDebate Makes Love

I've just successfully reequipped origena with commentluv. It's really a piece of cake, and it works simple, unlike commentluv with js-kit which seemed complicated for almost everyone that don't have experience with it. The js-kit control panel or dashboard was also frustrating me in the beginning, cause the system seemed automatically show login tab, though I had not clicked log off. Don't know if I misunderstood it, but I had to claim my blog every time I wanted to delete comments or modify the js-kit on my blog.

Just when I wanted to give up, I went to commentluv site, to see if  I need to install a new version of commentluv js-kit to resuscitate commentluv in this blog. I found not even the old version for blogger there in the download plugin section, nothing at all, only download for wordpress and twitter.

Luckily I got the clue as I browsed its News section. I found out an article titled Intense Debate CommentLuv is Here! At first became a bit perplexed cause it says "is Here!" while part of the url, shows the word "coming soon". However I dug up the answer from the comments left by some bloggers, and  learned that comluv intensedebate is working in blogger. I directly searched info for removing js-kit from blogger. It's pretty easy too, just locate js-kit widget by clicking the layout tab and once found, delete it.

Glad that it didn't mess up my layout, cause I didn't make any backup. Once js-kit cleared out, I rushed to IntenseDebate and create an account there. The installation process also went swimmingly, the direction is short and clear. I went back to CommentLuv site for the how-to commentluv installation on IntenseDebate. It's even easier, just go to the Dashboard for my Origena blog in IntenseDebate, click on the plugin section and activate CommentLuv from there.
Easy peasy and neat! Now, care to shower me with some comments? ;-)

Shiny Charlotte

Who is Charlotte?
Oh, she's just an imaginary friend. I was hooked by her deranged look since the first time I saw her.
Nah, don't get misled, I'm talking about Charlotte the cute rubber stamp image from Kraftin' Kimmie that I bought last month.

Didn't have a clue what would I do with it, until I read a challenge on Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps "Sparkle, Baby!!" Challenge, and I really really want the prize!!! Josephine!!! She's so gorgeous!! I hope my Charlotte card can lure Josephine to me :-))

So here is it, the deranged but cute look of Charlotte from Kraftin' Kimmie, I use all of the two stamps from the set. I put the other doll on the inside of the card and make a window which is covered with a mica to enable the doll seen from the outside. Click the pics to get a clearer look of all the sparkles.

and below you can see a bit clearer where the other doll is.

 Here's what I use for the project:
