8:Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

How much can an optical company sweep the nation with their cheap designer eyeglasses? Not as much as ZenniOptical.com has done. This company has revolutionized the way people purchase their prescription eyeglasses. From an online store to an online giant known for it’s diverse selection of styles of frames and it doesn’t matter whether you wear single vision lenses, sunsensor (photochromic), tinted, bifocal or even progressive lenses - they have it. Why do you think such a company will be featured on Fox News one day and an excellent review on the Chicago Tribune later on? It only means one thing. This company is a no non-sense company when it comes to their products. They advertise and they deliver.
And why do you think they can advertise designer prescription glasses for cheap? They have a secret. And the secret is getting rid of the middleman between the manufacturer and the retailer. They will sell you the eyeglasses direct from the manufacturer which in turn saves a lot of money and pass on the savings to you. It isn’t a new thing but they have mastered the art of it and have made many customers happy. Whether you are looking for a new pair of prescription eyeglasses or an extra one to wear as a prescription sunglasses, you should check out ZenniOptical.com first before you make a decision. It may open you up to great savings, and who wouldn’t want to save money in this economy right now?

I am training with a trainer at the gym now. You see, my trainer and I have become friends since I started training with him. He stops by the house once in a while and we would talk for hours. He’s a Christian as well and although I don’t think he knows that I’m gay, he knows I’m a Christian.
We share bible verses and life experiences. It’s a wonderful feeling knowing that I can still share my faith with a fellow Christian. He knows how I feel about the laws and the dogmas of the Catholic Church. He knows how much the Church means to me.
Today, while we were working out, he remembered to share something with me. He told me to check out a protein called “Laminin”. What?! Laminin? Better yet, he told me to check out Youtube and search for Laminin. It’s about a protein molecule. I thought it would be something that would help me gain muscle. He didn’t tell me. He just told me to check it out.
I was so amazed at the video. It’s only 8 minutes long yet I was so glad that he shared it with me. I want to share it with all of you as well.

I had a fun weekend in Atlantic City meeting friends of mine from my home town back in the Philippines. I couldn’t believe that changes that have happened in our lives for the past 20 years. It’s amazing how we turn out to be something much different than what we were. We talked about the past, how we were, how we dressed back then. One of our friends was someone who would think at that time, won’t have a good future just because the odds are against her. Looking at her now, I wouldn’t have imagined that she would turn out to be a successful Medical Technologist working at a hospital in New York, with a nice house and a brand new car. It simply tells us that if we have enough determination and a little bit of luck, we can make things happen in our lives.
From talking with them, we decided to round up the group. We have several members of the group whom we lost in touch with. I suggested to them to try a people finder service where you could search for people whom you lost in touch with. One of our friends just dropped off the map and we don’t know exactly where she is now. What’s good is that the service offered by Lookupwho.com is a free service. Other services out there will give you the basic location of the person and then charge you for the rest of the information. It will be a good way for us to rally up the members of our group and get a reunion going. I cannot believe
seeing them would be this much fun but it really was.

Here’s a video I found on Lainey’s site. I am horrified.

It was a fun-filled day today. I got up a bit early, cleaned the house with my roommate and grilled pork ribs for lunch. We were planning to go for dim sum but we got done too late. The dim sum place in the city ends the special at three o’ clock and we got done cleaning at two-thirty. It figures.
Anyway, after lunch, I took a shower and took a nap for an hour and a half. Got up and went to church for the 6:00 p.m. mass. I was actually pleased because I arrived on time. (That’s a rarity for me.) The readings pointed to how we as believers should tell our loved ones (or our friends for that matter) if they are doing anything that is not pleasing to God. If we notice it and we don’t say anything, we will be held accountable for it. My mind raced in an instant recalling all the times that I should have said something to my friends or my loved ones. There were plenty of occasions where I didn’t say anything. I let it go.

One of the best cities I’ve visited so far lies in the midwestern United States. I have visited the city twice and I just can’t get enough of it. A friend of mine, John - has moved there and I actually drove his car to Chicago. However, when I got there, I was so exhausted that I really didn’t have much time to tour the place. I was able to see the “bean” but that was it. We went downtown but then again, I was such in a daze that nothing really stuck. All I know is that I would like to visit Chicago again and when I do, I will take one of those Chicago tours. It’s better to take a tour I guess rather than go around by myself. With a tour, I get to see the important places that people usually want to visit but don’t know how to get to it. The funniest thing that happened to me while I was there was a trip to the bakery (famous one as I was told because of the owner). There was a lady behind the counter who looked like a lady but as you get closer, you may wonder if she’s a lady or not. We had to stay at the bakery and had pastries and hot coffee just to figure out if the lady behind the counter is indeed a lady. We had fun. It’s like being at Madame Tussauds wax museum. Haha!
I found that that there are available online travel guides that I can use to maybe map my itinerary before I even go. The fares have come down a bit and it would be best for me to go soon before it really gets cold. I could also sign up for a Trusted Tours & Attractions newsletter and get myself updated automatically on available tours, specials and the like - I can even get the chance to win $150.00 Magellan’s Gift Certificate simply for signing up. Trusted Tours and Attractions offers discounted tickets to the best sightseeing tours in 23 cities across America. I better call for airline fares now. I need at least two weeks out.
