God is good all the time...


No matter how many times I disobey him he has a way of bringing me back to my knees and asking forgiveness.
No matter the wrong that I do in his presence, he always finds a way to forgive me and give me the love that no other person in this world can ever give me…
Let me tell you about my God!
He is the alpha and the Omega, He created me to make a difference on the earth, to glorify him, and to praise his name, and that purpose I shall accomplish. His love endures forever and he has never let me down.
He is my daddy, my best friend, and my all, I really do love him, because the gift that he gave me on my birth date, no one can bit that… Yep, he gave me the gift of life, and the right to life it abundantly to the fullest. I shall always be grateful towards his love and kindness.
All living souls know my daddy, some do not want to be his again because he is a very jealous father; in order to be considered as fully his child, one has to give it all up and let him take the lead in one’s life.
Most people do not like being controlled or being told what to do or what not to do, my father is a gentleman, and he would never force himself on anyone. He comes gently and asks for a relationship with a person, then he leaves it to that person to decide whether they want him as a father or not.
One of the things I love about my father is that when he first came to me, I was dirty and blind to his mercies and grace, but he took me the way I was, he washed me with his amaizing glory and made me a new person.

My daddy is Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

I really enjoyed class today

LOl…..
The topic in class to day was Personal branding.  Many people have different views about themselves as to other people around them. In most cases one may give him/herself a certain character that does not in any way complement how other people think of them.
We were given an activity whereby one has to give a description to everyone in class, using only three words. HAHAHAHAHA
A task that was meant to be positive turned into an offensive three hour section. People where merely being honest and we all know;  “the truth hurts”. Some were told how lazy and “getto” they are, and others how shy and ambitious they are.
Well me me me me.  I was described in many words, but most people shared these views about me:
Shy
Ambitious
Hard-worker
Kind
Gets her work done
Quiet
LOL… I agree with some of them and yet disagree with other views.
The whole point of this was to see the impact that we have had on our peers. And that one should  emphasis on one’s positive strengths when one gets to the working environment.

Gattaca, review

Gattaca (1997) is a science fiction and a drama film.
It is a film about genetic engineering and how it determines people’s lives. There is a lot of discrimination in the film, due to people’s genetics and differences. People can choose to engineer their children to meet their specific needs. The main actor (Ethan Hawke) Vincent Freeman is classified as an “invalid” (person who has genetic problems, such as heart problems, always sick, or sometimes have breathing problems), due to the fact that Vincent has defects, hence though the movie he finds ways to achieve his dream of flying as part of Gattaca
The film emphasises what it is like to be an individual, being treated as an outcast in the society.  It also shows that the world is fast changing into a science based environment.
It is shown a number of times how easy it is to determine a person’s identity from small things such as hair, saliva, and fingerprints, and the film shows a future where people can be criticised due to their genetics.
Gattaca is one of those movies whereby one needs to concentrate in order to understand the plot. The director, Andrew Niccol, does a really good job in conveying all the characters. He does not stick to the typical science fiction effects, but he adds a bit of drama and fantasy. It has love scenes, and parts whereby the actors become sensitive to life and the opinions of other people.
Vincent is played by Ethan in a leading performance by a great character actor. Jerome I splayed by Jude Law, in a role that shows smartness and care, although he first appeared to be arrogant. The two characters seem not to like each other at first, but they develop a relationship, because they depend on each other.
All the characters portray a very powerful performance in the film, because they are not predictable, and they develop as film proceeds. Hence, most of them are quite serious and they do not leave any space for humour. The main character shows some emotions, such as love, laughter, as well as ambition. The characters in the film tend to struggle both with themselves as well in society. For example, the main actor struggles to be accepted in society as himself, he had to change his identity, and he also struggles to accept himself for who he is, because of his dreams to work for Gattaca.
The atmosphere of the movie is given a boost by the score. The structure of the film is just a traditional storyline with a sensitive beginning; the middle has a big conflict and a not so “happy ever after” ending.
Gattaca has many memorable scenes, and this is made a possible by the manner in which the characters perform.
I would rate the film 8/10, because I was impressed by the characters.

So Guys please go watch the movie, if you havent.

This is so not me…..


I am having a bad day today, I really don’t like the way I feel. I had so much planned for this day and yet nothing goes to plan.  I didn’t do well on my assignment, “not because it’s not great, but because of technical problems, such as the fact that, I didn’t save my work properly”, the lecturer says.  Agrrrrr # so annoyed#
But knowing me, this anger will only last for few minutes then I will be fine. All I have to do now is make sure that I save my work on the next assignment.
Still #annoyed#

Love is the greatest refreashment in life
