CITY KART RACING ROCKS!

It was my first time to ride a kart. And I had never imagine how fun it was. I have never even have driven a car before. I thought it was just gonna be easy. But after seeing in person how fast those go carts can be, I got nervous. My heart beat raised. My adrenaline pumped.

When I attended the first BBFC ( Bloggers Blaze Fun Cup) held at City Kart Racing Makati, 7th floor Park Square, Makati, It became the highlight of my week. I never thought that I can experience something like this. And it was for free. I heard it was expensive, and it cannot enter my budget list. But after giving a chance to experience it, and finishing 2nd place with my team mates, I was looking for more. I never felt my adrenaline pumped so hard before that I wanted to do it the whole day. It's a fun way to release stress.

I said to myself that I won't blog about this, not until I have experience my second try. And have to pay about it. It just to cost me 560 Php for one whole Heat. At first, I'm a bit hessitant to pay. But after finishing the course, Man! it was worthit. I beat my previous time of 62 seconds wit just 55 seconds. I can brag about it on facebook. they have an app that will automatically post your race results that day on facebook. And I'm looking forward on being faster.

They have a high perfomance cart. And it was really fast. You can avail their promos. For mor info about it, Check out their site http://www.citykartracing.com/ . You can also like their facebook page http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=291809434170272#!/citykartracing.

I will be adding to my  budget

list City Kart Racing. Thanks for the experiencce! See you soon :)

What the Bible says About Ghost

Ghosts are more celebrated in Halloween. The thought  of them being scary and spooky drives people nuts when Halloween night comes. A lot of scary stories appear. There are really spirits existing among us. God lets us know in His Word that there certainly are spirits in this world. You are probably aware of all the many references to spirits in the Bible that aren’t talking about the spirit of men. Here are just a few:

“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” (Eph. 6:12).

“That evening they brought to him many who were oppressed by demons, and he cast out the spirits with a word and healed all who were sick.” (Matthew 8:16)

The word “ghost” itself derives from the Old English word gást. In many older versions of the Bible, the term for the Holy Spirit was often commonly said to be “Holy Ghost.” For example, in Matthew 3:11 (KJV) of the King James Version, the Holy Spirit will be referred as the “Holy Ghost,” instead of just the Holy Spirit as you will find in the New International Version (Matthew 3:11, NIV). This is probably where the original confusion about the actual existence or non-existence of ghosts began. As Christians, we should know that it is certainly possible that such things as “spirit beings” exist, but it is not possible that such a thing as the “spirit of people who have died” also exists.

Now what do really happen when we die? The bible says that when we die, it’s either heaven or hell for us. No holding grounds. Without getting into a lengthy discussion, let’s say for the moment that people who have rejected Jesus Christ go to hell and people who have accepted the atoning sacrifice of Jesus and been forgiven go to heaven.Scripture teaches that when we leave this life…… life continues either with Jesus or not with Jesus. Once we are in the place we have chosen by our acceptance or rejection of Jesus, we are there. We don’t go in and out of heaven or hell. There is no scripture that suggests that we do.

There are several passages which help to explain how it would not be possible for us to die and then to live on, in some sort of spirit form, as a ghost. Hebrews 9:27 (NIV) tells us clearly that we are “…destined to die once and, after that, to face judgment.” And when we are judged, the decision for us is heaven if we believe in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior (John 3:16). However, if a person chooses to become an unbeliever (and continues being an unbeliever), then their destination would be hell (Matthew 25:46; Luke 16:22-24).

So, what about ghosts? Ghosts that we see or some see were spirits, not of the one that died, but of the devil. In Paul’s second letter to the Corinthians (2 Corinthians 11:14-15), we are told how these creatures are able to appear or disguise themselves as what Paul calls “angels of light” and “servants of righteousness.” Because of this ability, it is certainly reasonable to assume that a demon could in fact appear to someone as the spirit of a deceased person–especially that of a loved one–if it helped the demon to carry out its evil purposes.

The Bible states that the dead do not have contact with the living (Luke 16:19-31). Therefore, if one has contact with or ‘sees’ or experiences a paranormal being, you can be sure it’s not great aunt  Mary. Rather, it is a spirit pretending to be great aunt Mary. And this is why we are warned NOT to have contact with people who claim to contact the dead. We are actually contacting fallen angels, unclean spirits or demons. These are deceitful spirits under the control of the father of lies, Satan.

So, next time, be careful on what you believe in. Believe in the bible for it tells us the truth. No other basis for the truth but the Bible. For this coming Halloween, maybe it’s the best time for us to read the bible and what the bible tells about it. Look for bible believing/based church that tells about the truth about spirits.

Russpan's

Looking for a place wich serve a good  tasting foods? Well, I can suggest one. It's name is RUSSPAN"S. It is located at the front of Nimesio I Yabut Elementary School, along Eskwela street Pinagkaisahan, Makati City.

I discovered it when we are on the way to my girlfriends place. I did'nt  notice it before, not until I'm hungry.

One thing that I had tasted and will rate 8 for its taste was their coffee blends. It's delicious. like one of the leading coffee shop here in the Philippines. And for it's taste, it came with a very cheap price. Only 65 Php.

There's  a lot of menus you can choose from. But for me, i recommend you to try this one.

Church-made Jewelries

I just saw this morning, mothers in our church held a workshop on handicrafts and their making jewelries. Yup, bracelets, earrings and necklaces. I enjoyed watching them as a group working and learning something new that they can use or sell to others. It's fun seeing them with their game face on. I remember looking at one of the mothers, Tita Pacita, whose eyebrows nearly merged because of her complete focus.

It's also Ate Karen's birthday. The youngest mother on the group. Actually, I'm the reason why the group knew that it was her birthday. I did'nt know it was supposed to be a secret. Thanks to me, they knew it. HaHa.

I'm glad and refreshed seeing a group like that. My mom is one of them but she wasn't available for the workshop. I thank Tita Matty, my pastor's mom, for her great effort on starting a group that strenghtens and brightens each light if the house.

Are You Afraid Of the Dark?

Remember those teenage years where I always watch that unforgettable T.V series, Are you afraid of the dark? Where  the narrator lowers the pitch of his voice just to sound scary?

I always watched it when I was a kid. And for a kid, it’s scary. When I watch it’ I always bring my pillow with me in front of the TV. Yeah, it’s kinda weird and funny. But, it was memorable for me.

This October, JIVE Youth will be tackling the truths about Halloween.  Too advanced? It’s Only October, it’s supposedly to be discussed next month right? Nah!!! It’s better to be prepared before that day comes. Our topic will be about Halloween and it’s elements. The title is (what else?) “Are You Afraid Of The Dark?”. We will discuss it every Saturday @ Gen. Pio Del Pilar National High School gym, 3:00pm. And Sundays @ Jive Youth Center,3:00pm.

I hope you can come by those times. See you there!
