Trailer: The Stoning of Soraya M

The Stoning of Soraya M.

Official Movie Site

Rented The Stoning of Soraya M. from BlockBuster today. I can't wait to watch it. I know I'm going to learn a lot and be touched by the film. It's based on a true story.

"A drama set in 1986 Iran and centered on a man, Sahebjam, whose car breaks down in a remote village and enters into a conversation with Zahra, who relays to him the story about her niece, Soraya, whose arranged marriage to an abusive tyrant had a tragic ending."-IMDB

Flesh and Spirit

God is so great! Sometimes when I do something I know I shouldn't, I think of Him. I think to myself how great it would be to see God... To meet with Him at the cloud....To go home and live eternally in Heaven...Sin isn't worth going to Hell over. I want to meet Jesus. I don't want Him to say to me, "Who are you? I never knew you." I want to meet Jesus and I want Him to be happy seeing me. The battle between flesh and the spirit is tough, but God is worth it. I will meet Jesus someday and I will be the happiest ever.

Best School Uniforms

I have been blessed with being able to experience both having and not having to wear a uniform in school. Uniforms are beneficial. In Catholic school (i'm not catholic), I never had to worry

about what I was going to wear the next day. The school I attended had a dress code, not of skirts for girls, but of FULL body dresses. The dresses were NOT PLEASANT DURING THE WINTER. They also weren't the best looking, but they weren't bad either. I've got to say, I think the best school uniforms are worn in Japan! I would never feel comfortable wearing a Russian school uniform. Some of them did remind me of gothic lolita dresses(which could be fun), but than some of them just looked like really bad old maid dresses.

HanPanda

HanPanda's are half panda, half other animal.

HanPanda Site

Thank you Nagi Noda for creating the ADORABLE HanPanda! 8^) No one can resist the cuteness. It is just too adorable. There are many HanPanda's. Of course Nagi owns six foot HanPanda's. haha. Who could blame her? I can't imagine something that cute in my bedroom. My favorite is Goripan.

Hello Kitty- #1 Luxury Water

Hello Kitty Luxury Water...Each is worth a whopping $100.00

Hello Kitty was created in 1974 by the Sanrio Company of Japan. The cartoon character became a national phenomenon and is now found EVERYWHERE. Literally! There is nowhere you can go without seeing something with Hello Kitty on it. I admit. I am not a fan, whatsoever, but I do recognize it's popularity and respect it. Although, there are times when I can't help but laugh or say to myself, "What were they thinking?"

Cute Animal Video

Okay, I can't get over this cute video for nothing!

Japanese Bus Stops

One of 16 fruit and vegetable themed bus stops in Japan

Saw these bus stops on a website dedicated to anything cute! These bus stops definitely make waiting for the bus stop a little less annoying. I'd rather sit in a giant fruit on a hot summer day than sit on a bench with the sun beaming down on my face. The windows on the sides are also so cute.

"In the Japanese town of Konagai, (part of Isahaya

City) along the road you’ll find 16 of these fruit stops, built in the shape of strawberries, melons, watermelons, oranges and tomatoes.

According to the Isahaya City web site, the creators got the idea for these unusual shapes from the famous story of Cinderella where the carriage turns into a pumpkin." -Brooke Janssens

Multi-Media Projects

Had the Multi-Meida class. It was okay. I was TERRIFIED the entire time. I felt uncomfortable. I did not want to be there. I just kept praying to God. I have to do two projects in the class without the help of other classmates. I could collaborate, but of course...I don't want to. I was thinking about what I want to do for both of the projects. I have an idea, but it's my idea. I have to pray on it and see what God wants me to do. I need a lot of help. I need help from God and brothers and sisters in Christ. The projects will be for the Lord, not for man.

Baking and Breakfast Crepes

I loves me the cake decorating! It was nice making my own 21st Birthday cake. I also enjoyed making Melissa and Crystals' Aloha themed Birthday cake. Saw an adult community class offered at a High School for people interested in baking and decorating cakes. Thinking about maybe taking it. I've never taken a cake/pastry class in my life. Maybe it's about time I take one? I would love to learn how to bake and decorate cakes professionally. Not saying I would start my own business. I just want to improve. I would love to learn from the best. It's a fun hobby. My dream would actually be to study at the Institute of Culinary Education. I would study under top chefs to get my Baking and Pastry Diploma. I doubt that will ever happen, but it's okay. I don't need

to actually join a school to practice on my own. I will keep experimenting with different recipes and just try my best. I've got to buy more fondant to practice rolling and placing it on the cake. Fondant is much harder to roll than it looks. It's also not as easy placing fondant on a cake as professionals on the Food Network Channel make it look like. I have the crepes somewhat down. I still can use a lot of practice. I also need to perfect the breakfast crepe recipe. I feel like it's lacking in flavor. Oh my gosh! I need to put in some sugar! What was wrong with me that day? I can't believe I forgot to put sugar. Other than that it was okay. I think I should also change the sausage links. I want to use big smoked sausage links instead. I can't wait to serve it in the church this Sunday! I just hope they love it. The breakfast crepe is going to be nice and sweet, wrapped around scrambled eggs with cheese and sausages. It will be topped with confections sugar. YUM!

Will Dream of Funnel Cake

Later, I have Multi-Media class. I'm nervous, as usual. Classes make me very uncomfortable. Plus, I only ever heard students say bad things about that class. I don't know what's going to happen. So far, I've been back in school for a few days and I haven't seen many of the students who recognized me. I think a lot of them graduated. That's great! I never have to see them again. Some of them were so cruel. Anyway, I've been seeing a lot of new faces. None of them recognize me and it's going to stay that way. I go to school to learn, not to make friends. I never had any friends in school, so I succeeded. One more year. I just have to keep telling myself that. Just one more year and I'm out of that school. No more of the same professors over and over and over again. I'm pretty sure none of them like me. I get the feeling like they all hate my guts, but why should I care? I'm just there to study from them. My mother said she has a feeling this year is going to be a great year. I'm going to have faith that it will be. As a back to school present, my mother bought me a Funnel Cake Maker! Can't lie. I gotta shout it out. YUMMY!!!! I made some funnel cakes yesterday. To help myself feel better about having to go to class later, I'm going to cook myself a funnel cake after class. I think it would be a nice treat and I would have something to look forward to during class. Also, I elected Mondays to be Movie Mondays and I won! Every Monday, my family and I are going to get together to watch a movie. I think it's nice.

Success=Fulfilling Gods' Purpose for My Life

It's hypocritical for someone to pretend to be right before the eyes of church members when they're not right before the eyes of God. It's amazing. While so many people are living their lives, God is up there with a hole host, just watching. Nothing is ever hidden. This world really is smaller than we think. Sometimes I feel as if we were just born to die. Than I remember, in that depressed state of mind, "No. It can't be true." God had to put me on this Earth for some reason. If I do nothing, it is only because I failed God.

Than, what if I fail, but help someone else succeed? What if I fail God, but along the way help break that gap? The one that's been keeping people from being bold enough to say, "Hey, I can write or make artworks for Christ. Why shouldn't I?" Sometimes I have to shake myself out of it, because I don't do anything. If anyone is influenced, it is because of God. Not a human being, who commits just as much if not more sin.

It sickens me to think where I could go after I die. It sickens me to think what could happen after the rapture. I want to go to Heaven. Living in Heaven for eternity beats going down under. I want to meet Jesus. We have all this time to get closer to Him. I know there will be a day when He will refuse to listen to prayers. When that day comes, I pray, I will be long gone living with my Maker.
