Goodbye 2007 and Hello 2008. Indeed, the year has gone by with failures and successes we endure whether with hardship or glory. Let us not cling to what has already been done because there is only so much of little that we can do about it.
For me, I will definitely start my year by building my mental and spiritual life, and thats my foundation right there. I believe if we are able to focus on this parts of our lives, we can attain consistency, focus, discipline, and better yet strength to persevere through times we cannot handle.
Once I do that, I am able to start shaping my physical, social, and emotional, make it more solid and concrete. Saying it is so much easier than anything else. It seems that I already got everything in place.
For all of you out there, if you find it difficult to do the things that you must or just find it so consuming to have confidence due to hard times, listen to this song and you will gain strength, not Christian song but LOL.. this is my work out song usually....its very PUMPING!! YEAHH ( lil jon's voice)
God Bless!!!

Thank God
I want to write a thank you post to my God for being such a great companion, friend, helper, healer, protector, my everything and lastly my Saviour over the 2 years and counting. Theres so much more than it used to. Life was more than words and only some could be mentioned due to insufficient greatness or marvelous expression that is contained within the meaning of the word in the dictionary.
God has really been all that for me and to end this year well i must not forget to place Him first in all my annual closure. It sounds pathetic to say thank you to God. Well, for all my years of living, I don't live this life for others. I live this life for God, my rock, my refugee.
Theres so many things that God has done for me; spiritually, mentally, physically, socially and financially.I have increased and grow more than I thought I could and for that, Thank You God. Don't believe my God can do that? My God is more than that. Test Him..Its a prayer away...

Hey all you readers! :)
Welcome to my blog and have a nice day!
As you can see my blog name is Rejoice, And Again I Say Rejoice! Many at times in our lives we reminisce of our good old days
and begin to be emotional. Thus, living from day to day becomes increasingly depressing and moody. From primary days to the very last days of our secondary lives and towards the next chapter of our lives-only
but bittersweet memories awaits us. However, we can change that. There are better things in life worth investing our time in and not the daily sadness we sometimes carry. You may not be always sad but one thing is for sure
you can alwalys be joyful. Remember that it is a matter of perspective. Anything that is sad can be turned happy, gigly, and motivating to yourself and others. Digest on this materials I show you and use it as a weapon to fight
emotional breakdowns because
Nehemiah 8:10
Then he said to them, “Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. Do not sorrow, for the joy of the LORD is your strength.”
Your daily devotions:
a) Psalm 118:24
This is the day the LORD has made;We will rejoice and be glad in it.
b) Proverbs 23:7
For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.
c) you can be negative, narrow-minded, and moody to everyone around you. Likewise, you can be positive, open-minded, and happy-being a blessing to everyone else.
d) The only thing constant in life is changes.
Always look forward in meeting friends, working partners, school mates, doing stupid chores, spending time with family, appreciating the very little in your life that is so important to the others.
Apart From that, this are my details!
a)D.o.B: 22/12/1991 (ed hardy can wan la, 1 or 2)
b)Interests: I love playing basketball, rugby(if i can), football, rock climbing, swimming, blogging, discovering new things, building relationships, hearing quality praise&worship songs, and hanging out with friends. I am not good at any sport and although I am not good at my current subjects, I love knowledge.
c) I love to see individuals for the cause of Christ getting their lives changed and thus making an impact in the society.
I love to see restoration, healing, and revival taking place.
I love to encounter a special and divine presence of God.
I hate to see people struggling because of their shallow perspectives in life and failure to look at the bigger and brighter picture.
I love my friends a lot.
I love Jesus Christ.
I love helping people.
I am happy, cheerful, big, small eyes, disfigured face, tall, nose hair is blonde, look like me sound like me and WALAH it is me!

This Week's Joke
Once there were 3 people in an airplane, one took a bite out of
an apple. She thought it was too sweet so she threw it out of
the plane. The second person took a bite out of a lemon and she
thought it was too sour so, she threw it out of the plane. Then
the last person took a bite out of a grenade and he thought it
was too crunchy so, he threw it out of the plane. Then they
landed and decided to go for a walk.
They first passed a little
girl who was crying and they asked, "little girl, little girl,
why are you crying?" and the little girl said, "an apple came
down and killed my new kitty". Next they passed a little boy
who
was also crying. And they again asked, "little boy, little boy,
why are you crying?" and the little boy said, "a lemon came
down
and killed my new puppy."
Then they passed a blonde sitting on
the side walk laughing her butt off. They asked, "why are you
laughing so hard?" and the blonde said, "I farted and the
building behind me blew up!!"
Word of God
Psalms 34
11 Come, you children, listen to me;
I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
12 Who is the man who desires life,
And loves many days, that he may see good?
13 Keep your tongue from evil,
And your lips from speaking deceit.
14 Depart from evil and do good;
Seek peace and pursue it.
15 The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous,
And His ears are open to their cry.
16 The face of the LORD is against those who do evil,
To cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
17 The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears,
And delivers them out of all their troubles.
18 The LORD is near to those who have a broken heart,
And saves such as have a contrite spirit.
19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
But the LORD delivers him out of them all.

We are constantly bombarded with temptations, trials, and the need to compromise. Today, don't negotiate a bad world, corrupted friends, and sinful habits.
Smoking, Watching porn, swearing and taking drugs is bad. There is no last puff, last look, last curse or last jab, but only the last chance for a change.
You must change for a better you. Yes, you can.
Before we can start talking about diets and diet plans, you must first understand what a diet REALLY is and what it REALLY means. See, people tend to use the phrase "I'm on a diet" when they want to tell people that they are trying to lose weight. People who do this are... well... stupid. A diet IS NOT weight loss. Diets are just simply what you eat on a regular basis. You could eat McDonald's cheeseburgers covered in ice cream 4 times a day, and you'd still be "on a diet." While eating like this would certainly be the worst of all diet plans, you get my point.
If someone said, "that monkey's diet consists of bananas," would that mean the monkey has a weight problem? No, it would just mean that the monkey eats bananas on a regular basis. Saying you're on a diet really just means you eat food. That's why I think it's funny when people state that they're "on a diet" and expect it to mean something it doesn't. "You're on a diet? Wow... congratulations... so is EVERY OTHER LIVING THING ON THE PLANET!!" These people should be saying that out of the many different diets and plans that exist, they're "on a weight loss diet." Hopefully these people are reading this right now, and hopefully they have learned their lesson. It's ok, we forgive you.
[Calories And Maintenance Levels]
Now that you fully understand what diets are, let's break down what all diet plans consist of. Above all things, there are calories. All diets are made up of calories. Everything you eat and drink (besides obvious calorie-free things like water and celery, etc.) has calories in it. It's how many calories and exactly where those calories are coming from that effect your body and your weight.
The way the human body works is pretty simple. There is a certain number of calories that your body requires every day in order for it to maintain its current weight. I like to call this your "Maintenance Level" because, well, that's what it's actually called. If your diet plan is made up of less calories than this maintenance level, you will lose weight. If it's made up of more calories, you will gain weight. It's all really simple, actually.
If you just read that last paragraph you should feel good about yourself. Why? Because right now you already know more about diets and nutrition than at least 80% of the population. No, you're no genius yet. It's just that most people are clueless about the subject of "diet plans" and how to actually control their body and weight.
So now that you know that diets are made up of calories, you should be wondering what exactly calories are made up of. Basically, calories are made up of 3 things. Protein, carbs, and fat. Yeah yeah, I know. High protein diet!! Low carb diet!! Low fat diet!! Healthy fat!! Fat free!! Good carbs!! Bad carbs!! Those are probably the assortment of confusing things that enter your mind as soon as you hear the words protein, carbs and fat. It's ok though, relax. In a few minutes none of it will be confusing ever again. Let's take them one at a time.
[Protein]
Protein is an extremely important part of all diet plans. That's why you have most likely never heard of any low protein diets, and also why you probably HAVE heard of protein supplements. That's because your body needs protein, and lots of it. It is the building block of muscle. Protein is measured by the gram. 1 gram of protein is equal to 4 calories. So, if you are eating something that has 20 grams of protein in it, that means that whatever you are eating is at least 80 calories. In case you failed 2nd grade math, that was 20 grams of protein multiplied by 4 calories per gram... 20 x 4 = 80
[Carbs]
Carbs (or "carbohydrates" for the people who don't mind typing 8 extra letters) is another of the three main elements that make up calories. I have a feeling that of the three, carbs are the most confusing for people creating diet plans. I think the reason for that is because everything you enjoy eating has carbs in it. Hell, everything you don't enjoy eating has carbs in it. Carbs are in almost everything and therefore seem to be the hardest for people to manipulate within a diet plan. Just like protein, 1 gram of carbs is equal to 4 calories. So, if you were eating something that had 20 grams of protein and 10 grams of carbs, you just ate at least 120 calories (20x4=80, 10x4=40, 80+40=120calories).
[Fat]
Unlike protein and carbs which are both 4 calories per gram, 1 gram of fat is equal to 9 calories. So if you eat something that has 10 grams of fat in it, you just ate at least 90 calories. This explains why high protein foods are usually low in calories, while foods high in fat are high in calories. This is also probably the reason why there are so many fat free foods and why people on diets think fat makes them fat. Guess what... it doesn't. That is a myth.
Fat does not make you fat. Eating too many calories makes you fat. It just so happens that a gram of fat has more calories in it than a gram of protein or carbs. However, the only thing that makes a person gain fat is when that person is eating more calories than their maintenance level, and then not burning them off through working out. Whether these excess calories in your diet plan are coming from protein, carbs or fat makes little difference.
Sometimes people on specific weight loss diet plans just try to eat less fat (or even fat free) and think that alone will work. What they don't realize is that they are probably replacing those fat calories with calories from protein or carbs. Yes their fat intake has become lower, but their calorie intake evens back out to what it was, if not more. And, since you now know that it is too much calories, NOT fat, that causes fat gain, the person's weight usually won't decrease.
