Weekly Blog Planners.

I came across this set of free printables online and I found them to be very useful and cute, too. I think I do need a blog planner as well as I haven’t been so diligent in updating my blogs. If I had my entries planned out, maybe that will help me be more inspired to post an update. I love the ‘to do’ box as well. Perfect for my other online to-do’s aside from blogging, which reminds me that I need to look into the best appetite suppressants my bro is telling me about. He thinks he badly needs to take one as he has to lose a couple of pounds.

Still About My Village.

Have you seen my village on one of my posts below. Well I’m happy to say that mine has grown triple already. I love looking at the Smurfs’ village. It looks to peaceful and happy. That is so much similar to my dream home, a big lot with little house and tons of space to put up a garden, a pool and a basketball court. Surely with a place like that, there’s no reason for one not to get active. There are just tons of activities to do. But since I don’t have that right now, how about some diet pills. Anyway, I am letting DS play and arrange my village so I think my interest is slowly fading away. Blame it on my age. Hahaha. I still play with it though so DS will have some coins and berries for shopping.

The Lying Game.

Current read.

The Lying Game
By Sara Shepard

I had a life anyone would kill for.

Then someone did.

The worst part of being dead is that there’s nothing left to live for. No more kisses. No more secrets. No more gossip. It’s enough to kill a girl all over again. But I’m about to get something no one else does—an encore performance, thanks to Emma, the long-lost twin sister I never even got to meet.

Now Emma’s desperate to know what happened to me. And the only way to figure it out is to be me—to slip into my old life and piece it all together. But can she laugh at inside jokes with my best friends? Convince my boyfriend she’s the girl he fell in love with? Pretend to be a happy, carefree daughter when she hugs my parents good night? And can she keep up the charade, even after she realizes my murderer is watching her every move?

From Sara Shepard, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Pretty Little Liars books, comes a riveting new series about secrets, lies, and killer consequences.

Let the lying game begin.

My Village.

In addition to looking for ecg machines online, I am spending so much time in my new village. The Smurfs’ Village, that is. We had it on the iPod for some time now but I only got to try it yesterday. And right now I am loving my little village. I am addicted but not so much as to purchase berries and smurfs. This can be a very expensive game so I’d rather not start. I’d rather enjoy the free game and just plant as much crops as I can to make my village grow. Plus I know that this interest will flickr away soon. But have you seen the featured villages? They are just the most festive and cutest villages ever.

Heaven is for Real: A Little Boy’s Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back.

Do you believe in heaven?

I came across this book this morning and I immediately downloaded a copy. And in one sitting I finished the whole book. It’s not that long though and I admit that I didn’t focus so much on some parts. I just wanted to reach the parts where the little boy was telling his parents his experiences in heaven. This is a very good and enlightening read and yes very comforting, especially if you have lost a loved one.

Heaven is for Real: A Little Boy’s Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back
by Todd Burpo with Lynn Vincent

A young boy emerges from life-saving surgery with remarkable stories of his visit to heaven.

Heaven Is for Real is the true story of the four-year old son of a small town Nebraska pastor who during emergency surgery slips from consciousness and enters heaven. He survives and begins talking about being able to look down and see the doctor operating and his dad praying in the waiting room. The family didn’t know what to believe but soon the evidence was clear.

Colton said he met his miscarried sister, whom no one had told him about, and his great grandfather who died 30 years before Colton was born, then shared impossible-to-know details about each. He describes the horse that only Jesus could ride, about how “reaaally big” God and his chair are, and how the Holy Spirit “shoots down power” from heaven to help us.

Told by the father, but often in Colton’s own words, the disarmingly simple message is heaven is a real place, Jesus really loves children, and be ready, there is a coming last battle.
