Deaf girl violinist shines in latest Pantene commercial

by 2 Comments

The latest Pantene commercial launched in Thailand really did shine. Congratulations to Proctor & Gamble the company who makes the shampoo and of course to their Ad agency, Grey Worldwide in Thailand. Their latest Pantene commercial featuring a Deaf violinist girl has become a buzz in the blogsphere and various social networking site. The Pantene commercial became an instant hit because it was inspiring and creatively conveys a story. Critics have been quick to judge that they can’t see the connection between the shampoo and a deaf girl playing a violin. A comment in youtube goes like this “Nice commercial and storyline but i just cant relate Pantene with the girl. IN CONCLUSION: Pantene makes the girl goes deaf and mute. The only thing I can relate them both. LOL” (For me this is a really mean comment) Well, I think they nailed the message. Just as people were hooked about the Promil commercial (People brought Promil milk for their kids hoping they will become gifted too) I … [Read more...]

Exposing doctrinal errors Part 1 – The “Jesus Christ is a Baptist” and the “Baptist brider” heresy

by 20 Comments

This article probably starts my series of pointing out several doctrinal errors that some Baptist churches and even my own church still lovingly cling to. When pastors from my church will read this, I will probably be ex-communicated or something. They will probably hate me for what I am about to say. Anyway before I start bashing some doctrinal errors that Baptist churches lovingly hold allow me to explain why I am doing, what will be doing. First of all, I am a Baptist. I still am, despite the fact that I have already been regularly attending a “non-denominational” church. I have not renounced my membership nor have I transferred membership. Not yet. Secondly, I believe that the Baptist church has been used by God mightily throughout the centuries in winning people to Christ, evangelizing the world and doing a lot of mighty and wonderful things in the name of God. Thirdly, although some may disagree with me, the Baptist has the most unique church history among all … [Read more...]

On the right corner is Floyd Mayweather Jr. (39-0, 25 KOs), a six-time world champion from five different divisions who was once dubbed as the best pound for pound boxer in the world and was never technically knocked off from his throne until he resigned, paving the way for Manny Pacquiao to assume the title.

FEARLESS by Max Lucado – A book review

by Leave a Comment

“There is nothing to fear but fear itself.” So said the great President Franklin D. Roosevelt, how true and how timely is what he said even if he said this several decades ago. Living in the verge of the 21st century, we can’t help it that people have a lot of fears. Fear about the status of the economy and how it is going to affect us personally, fear about war, terror, global warming and fear about everything else. With all that’s happening in the world today, it is no wonder a research reveals that ordinary children are more fearful than psychiatric patients in the 1950s. In the mix style of comfortable story telling-expository preaching complemented with modern day fictional and non-fictional illustrations and exmaples, Max Lucado one by one discusses the possible fears that each and every one us fast on a day to day basis in his new book, “FEARLESS.” From small personal fears like the fear of not mattering, to fearing the most dreaded things like the fear of global … [Read more...]

Noynoy Aquino for President in 2010 !

by 3 Comments

The 2010 presidential elections just got interesting. Several Presidential aspirants have stepped down or has acknowledged their willingness to step down in order to pave the way for the candidacy of Noynoy Aquino for President in 2010. Just recently Senator Mar Roxas has stepped down from the raise and has thrown his support for Noynoy Aquino for president. We have no other alternative. All other candidates are corrupt, or if they are not, their names are tainted with corruption or perceived to be corrupt. There are men like Senator Roxas, Governor Panlilio and Eddie Villanueva who are good leaders, honest and full of integrity, but no matter what they do it seems that they are lagging in the survey of the 2010 elections. Besides Senator Roxas and Governor Panlilio has already stepped down in favor of Senator Noynoy Aquino. We need to put an honest man in Malcanang. In order to do this we need a candidate that is sure to win. There is no other candidate that we can think … [Read more...]
