6 Reasons To Attend A Christian College

When you are thinking about what college to go to you want to consider many things. If you're Christian then one of these considerations may be your faith because there are many benefits that go along with going to a Christian college.
Here are 6 of those reasons to go to a Christian college.

For The Familiar Faith

The first reason to attend a Christian college is just the obvious familiar faith. When your faith is important to you then you want to take every opportunity to be in an environment that will be conducive to your faith. College is a large chunk of anyone's life who attends one so if you plan to be in this environment for years of your life then you want to go with the Christian choice.

For A Christian Point Of View

At a Christian college you are going to get the Christian point of view. You will not find this with normal colleges. When you have professors who understand and embrace your faith then you will receive lessons that are in accordance with Christian beliefs and that approach every topic from a Christian perspective. It is always nice to be in a place where people think more like you do so that you don't always have to feel like the odd person out.

For The Fellow Christian Peers

Anywhere you go your peers have a big influence on you. This is especially true during the college years so you want to keep this in mind when you are choosing a college. You don't want fellow students who will be going against your Christian beliefs all around you or you may be tempted to do the same. A Christian college makes it easier to uphold your Christianity and to not become one more person who is a Christian in name only.

For The Opportunity To Question Your Faith

A Christian college is a safe place to question your faith. You are not surrounded by those who would seek to undermine your faith but rather those who you can openly question your faith around without fear of negative consequences. When you are studying Christianity you will have questions and this is an excellent opportunity to raise those questions and maybe get some answers.

For The Christian Community

Going to a Christian college will also help to connect you to the Christian community that surrounds the college. You will be able to find volunteer opportunities and a support network that does not stop where the college grounds end. This is an opportunity for you to go out into the world while you are still in college to put your Christian beliefs into practice. After all, your actions are what really make you a Christian.

For The Quality Academics

You don't want to just focus on your faith throughout your college experience. You are there to learn about many things. This is another reason why you should go to a Christian college. Many Christian colleges provide high quality educations that will help you to be successful in whatever your chosen career field may be.

Korean Drama: 49 Days

Funny how at first I just disregard watching the Korean drama, 49 Days. Well maybe because after reading its synopsis I felt like its a fictional story and doesn't appeals me much. However, after seeing an advertisement on local TV that it will have a Filipino version, I gave it a try an downloaded it online. It turns out that it was a great Korean drama with a lot of life learning lessons on death and taking chances on life. The story is different from the usual Korean novela that I watched. I usually watched something humorous Korean drama because they would never fail to make me laugh out loud and feel good inside but 49 Days is far different since its a heavy drama. Yes, it has a lot of crying scenes but much more to that in this drama you learn to understand about pain, fate and love. After or even while watching 49 Days you will even stop and think of;

How good you live your life.

How many people is touch by your presence.

How much love you have give to the people around you.
The sincerity of tears people will shed for you.

In this drama you will also reflect two sides of living life. Either making the most of your everyday existence or chase death for an easy way out to skip the pain and loneliness. Pain will always be there if we dont learn to accept and let go. It may be hard but its the only way to put everything in place and let fate runs it course.

Live well. When times are hard, just like now recall those days that you treasure most. Gather your courage and live.

49 Days lead cast are Lee Yo Won, Nam Gyu Ri, Jo Hyeon Jae, Bae Su-bin, Jung Il Woo and Seo Ji Hye. I suggest you download the original Korean drama with English subtitles so that you will really understand the full run. Sometimes Filipino versions has some cut scenes. And for info 49 Days is titled Pure Love in the Philippines.

Homemade Macaroni Soup

Our neighbor cooked this delicious macaroni soup. I am not a fan of any macaroni food, even in deserts, but this soup made me realized that macaroni can be delicious too. The ingredients in this soup are eggs, chicken necks, magic sarap and macaroni... That simple, Pinoy style!

You're Beautiful

The last Asianovela I was madly crazy about was Meateor Garden. Back then I would always make it a point not to miss any episode on TV. I would always go home early from school and will also make sure to finish house choires before it started, so that I can concentrate in watching. I even bought lots of collectibles from stickers to t-shirt, most specially with Vaness Wu pics since he is my idol among the F4.

Now it seems my craziness over koreanovela is back but to a different series called You're Beautiful or He's Beautiful in Filipino version. After watching its trailer online last year, I was immediately interested in watching it. However, I haven't had much time watching it on local TV series because I got busy with work and then forget about it eventually. Last week boredom really sink in, that I can't take it anymore and so I search on the internet of something to watch which will also inspires me back to work. Thats when I remember about You're Beautiful. It took me awhile to find where to watch the complete series since most online series specially Filipino version are no longer available. Good thing I found You're Beautiful English Sub. I also discovered later that Filipino version has some cut scenes. It was really wise that I downloaded the English Sub which is also in HD.

So it has been 1 week since I have completed downloading the whole episode and theres not a day I don't watch You're Beautiful. I feel like my day will not be complete if im not going to watch it. Even just by listening to the You're Beautiful soundtracks which has been my most played music on my playlist, both in my phone and laptop, would make me smile and feel better.
I was shock on how this series has affected me. I was like one of the A.N.Jell fans waiting outside the A.N. Entertainment Building just to catch even just a glimpse of my fave star. Or a highschool lovestruck to Jang Geun Suk... lols
Kidding aside, I was really thankful in having to watch You're Beautiful because it made me smile even without any reason and inspired me to live life with much anticipation again. It also made me believe to never lose hope in everything and that no matter what I can do it! Aja! Really I dont know why this tv series has inspired me a lot.

Big thanks to the following:

Mozilla Firefox 4 Launch Party

I attended the Mozilla Firefox 4 launch Party at Big Flat Bread (BFB) Limketkai yesterday. It was fun and I had a blast of pizza. :D During the party we discussed about the new feature of Mozilla Firefox 4 which encourage me to upgrade my current Firefox browser today. I usually don't upgrade my Firefox browser because of compatibility issues on some add-ons that I need to used for work. Knowing the risk I still give it a try and upgrade my Firefox. Check out my online web guide for the installation details, errors I have encountered and features which I find very useful even for those who are not doing SEO works.
You guys ought to try it also it offers great features that will make browsing in the internet easy and fast. Also help you organize most visited webpages. It also check up on suspicious sites, avoid Web forgeries, do not track option, and parental control.
