Smallville

No, not the party place. How I wish...

It's so frustrating that my download was almost finished when I left home, so I just left the computer on to let it continue. But then, the inevitable happens...

Blackout.

Dang, now the episodes of "Smallville" will now have to wait for a 48-hour recovery period for our PC to turn on. For some reason, the monitor won't turn on immediately. You have to listen to a "sound" and when it has become louder, you have to press the power button with a certain combination of presses and proper timing so that it will turn on. Dang. We won't bother buying a new monitor because in just more than a month, I'll be leaving anyway, and my brother has his own PC. Dang, I wish I can buy an external HD...

Speaking of saving, austerity measures have already started. I had to live with pancit molo for lunch and some pepsi. I walked from outside the subdivision to our house. I'm not given allowance, so I have to spend my own money. But my own money is just enough for transportation for the next few days! So tomorrow, the extreme will happen. Bike to school, bring a liter of drinking water, and have pancit canton and egg for lunch.

Talk of saving. College is nearing, so I have to learn.
----------------

Well, while I can't watch Smallville yet, I guess I just have to be satisfied with these...

Erica Durance as Lois Lane. I find her more beautiful than the one on Superman Returns, but I don't have anything against Kate Bosworth. They're on different roads anyway.

Kristen Kreuk as Lana Lang. She portrays her role well. I like her better with Clark rather than with Lex, but I guess Clark is just a bit too pushy.

Michael Rosenbaum as Lex Luthor. So-so. He plays a good villain.


Justin Hartley as Oliver Queen (A.K.A. The Green Arrow). One of my favorite characters. Shooting arrows and stuff.

Tom Welling as Clark Kent. He's alright. It's just sometimes his character in the series is quite stupid. Especially with Lana. X-RAY VISION!!! hehe, joke. Super hearing na lang eh.

Forgiveness

I don't normally read chain messages. Like, I delete them immediately. But this one is an exception. Why? I guess you should read it...
-----------------------

One day a while back, a man, his heart heavy with grief, was walking in the woods. As he thought about his life this day, he knew many things were not right. He thought about those who had lied about him back when he had a job.

His thoughts turned to those who had stolen his things and cheated him. He remembered family that had passed on. His mind turned to the illness he had that no one could cure. His very soul was filled with anger, resentment and frustration.

Standing there this day, searching for answers he could not find, knowing all else had failed him, he knelt at
the base of an old oak tree to seek the one he knew would always be there. And with tears in his eyes, he prayed:

"Lord- You have done wonderful things for me in this life. You have told me to do many things for you, an d I
happily obeyed. Today, you have told me to forgive. I am sad, Lord, because I cannot. I don't know how. It is not fair Lord. I didn't deserve these wrongs that were done against me and I shouldn't have to
forgive. As perfect as your way is Lord, this one thing I cannot do, for I don't know how to forgive. My anger is so deep Lord, I fear I may not hear you, but I pray that you teach me to do this one thing I
cannot do - teach me to...

"Forgive."

As he knelt there in the quiet shade of that old oak tree, he felt something fall onto his shoulder. He opened
his eyes. Out of the corner of one eye, he saw something red on his shirt. He could not turn to see what it was because where
the oak tree had been was a large square piece of wood in the ground. He raised his head and saw two feet held to the wood
with a large spike through them.

He raised his head more, and tears came to his eyes as he saw Jesus hanging on a cross. He saw spikes in His
hands, a gash in His side, a torn and battered body, deep thorns sunk into His head. Finally he saw the suffering and pain on His precious face. As their eyes met, the man's tears turned to sobbing, and Jesus began to speak.

"Have you ever told a lie?" He asked.

The man answered, "yes, Lord."

"Have you ever been given too much change and kept it?"

The man answered, " yes. Lord." And the man sobbed more and more.

"Have you ever taken something from work that wasn't yours?" Jesus asked.

And the man answered, "yes, Lord."

"Have you ever sworn, using my Father's name in vain?"

The man, crying now, answered, "yes, Lord."

As Jesus asked many more times, "Have you ever...?" The man's crying became uncontrollable, for he could only answer "yes, Lord."

Then Jesus turned His head from one side to the other, and the man felt something fall on his other shoulder.
He looked and saw that it was the blood of Jesus. When he looked back up, his eyes met those of Jesus, and there was a look of love the man had never seen or known before.

Jesus said, "I didn't deserve this either, but I forgive you."

It may be hard to see how you're going to get through something, but when you look back in life, you
realize how true this statement is. Read the following first line slowly and let it sink in. If God brings you to it - He will bring you through it.

Lord I love You and I need You, come into my heart, today.
For without You I can do nothing.
-------------------

Forgiveness definitely is not something easy to do. But, you know, the ability to forgive also shows that you are able to love. With noting in return.
Eat your guts and forgive.
