The Atheist Advert on Bus

I was alarmed when I saw on the London newspaper that atheist can afford to pay an advert on a double decker bus pictured below. I am proud to be a believer and it bothers me a lot that there are still people who refuse to believe that Jesus Christ is the God of Gods, Lord of Lords and King of Kings. He gave his only son for our sins to be forgiven and to be reunited with him. People are becoming too intelligent I guess that they want to make their own rules nowadays, they deny Lord Jesus Christ exist. This is not true. We may have difficult problems left and right but this was permitted for us to be broken or hurting so we will call out for him. He is our only saviour. He is the same today and tomorrow. He always keeps his promise. Just call for his name and he will always be there. Please let us not support this type of propaganda. As a believer we should know better and be more open to people the message of the Lord for all of us. His word is trully a blessing for everyone. If the Atheist were not really bothered, why pay for this advert? It's getting too obvious that you feel threathened by my GOD!

My first white christmas in London

Me and this drummer @ Winter Wonderland Hyde Park


That's right! My first time and so far it's been good. They said it's gonna be too cold this December. The coldest so far in London history. Well, I can still manage to have a shower in the morning and come out in there without blow drying my hair. It's just me. It gives me headache if I don't do this. I get headaches at work coz of the heater. Which means I am not really used to it. Now that it's winter time it's been a bit boring. I miss the sunshine and the humid weather. It doesnt mean though that fashion is nowhere at this time of the year. I am the practical lady you know, I go for Primark hehehe... Being fashionista doesnt necessary means that it's expensive. My first christmas here and I'll be missing my family back home. I had fun looking at real christmas trees being sold at the market because it's not normal for me. I got so use to fake ones we used to buy at the mall. hehehehe. It cost around £20.00-30.00 and in my opinion not very practical. You'll just throw it anyway after. So what's the point. I did my christmas shopping last saturday but the weather wasnt good. It was raining the whole day but it didnt stop people from walking along oxford st. to shop.

Chilly Autumn

I am very pleased that I still get visits eventhough I am too busy lately and couldnt find time to update this blog of mine. It is indeed autumn in London and I wish I could share the view with my family back home how marvelous it is to see the color of my surroundings. I feel sorry for the caretakers who needs to sweep the leaves in the park. It is very cold in an autumn morning here. It is always like this you see. There is sunshine during the day and yet it is windy and cold. At the end of my day, the sky becomes dark and soon it will rain. For me, life has become a repetitive but I don't really mind. Thanks for the lads that has been visiting this page. Here is a glimpse of Autumn in London

Holland Park

Well for most people here in London, Holland Park for them is one of the great parks in the city. As a matter of fact, this park becomes too crowded when the sun is up during weekends. It's the best place to hang out really. You can sleep under the sun. Read your newly bought book. Play cards with your friends or just play ball in the ground. Fantastic place for family to get together. Holland Park happens to be walking distance from work so you 'd probably have a hint where I hang out after work on a saturday. I need not say anything.... let my pictures will say it all.

Loving the Apples

Well now that it's summer time we always enjoy going near River Thames and fly a kite. Out of curiousity and ignorance I was wondering what my nephews were throwing to each other and hubby said it's an apple. I hurriedly went to the Apple tree and this is was a young tree but already bears fruits. Sorry readers I hate to admit but this is the first time I saw an Apple tree since I live in the south of the PI. Theres no way you can see an apple tree that grows there. Good thing I always carry my camera with me aso I took a few shots of me and the Apple tree. It's a funny story for some I know. I just have to do it anyway...


10 Health Benefits of Apple

Bone Protection
French researchers found that a flavanoid called phloridzin that is found only in apples may protect post-menopausal women from osteoporosis and may also increase bone density. Boron, another ingredient in apples, also strengthens bones.

Asthma Help
One recent study shows that children with asthma who drank apple juice on a daily basis suffered from less wheezing than children who drank apple juice only once per month. Another study showed that children born to women who eat a lot of apples during pregnancy have lower rates of asthma than children whose mothers ate few apples.

Alzheimer's Prevention
A study on mice at Cornell University found that the quercetin in apples may protect brain cells from the kind of free radical damage that may lead to Alzheimer's disease.

Lower Cholesterol
The pectin in apples lowers LDL ("bad") cholesterol. People who eat two apples per day may lower their cholesterol by as much as 16 percent.

Lung Cancer Prevention
According to a study of 10,000 people, those who ate the most apples had a 50 percent lower risk of developing lung cancer. Researchers believe this is due to the high levels of the flavonoids quercetin and naringin in apples.

Breast Cancer Prevention
A Cornell University study found that rats who ate one apple per day reduced their risk of breast cancer by 17 percent. Rats fed three apples per day reduced their risk by 39 percent and those fed six apples per day reduced their risk by 44 percent.

Colon Cancer Prevention
One study found that rats fed an extract from apple skins had a 43 percent lower risk of colon cancer. Other research shows that the pectin in apples reduces the risk of colon cancer and helps maintain a healthy digestive tract.

Liver Cancer Prevention
Research found that rats fed an extract from apple skins had a 57 percent lower risk of liver cancer.

Diabetes Management
The pectin in apples supplies galacturonic acid to the body which lowers the body's need for insulin and may help in the management of diabetes.

Weight Loss
A Brazilian study found that women who ate three apples or pears per day lost more weight while dieting than women who did not eat fruit while dieting.
