Elaizah Flexible Body

In 2018 of March my daughter Elaizah's body is stretchable. If you will train your body then you can achieve something body can do.














Kia and Jayde Wedding

Another temple wedding was done on the 20th of December 2019.  Kia and Jayde decided to get married in a simple start, it started in the second quarter of 2019 where she is finding opportunities for work.  Kia stayed in Minglanilla where her work is located. At first, she struggles with her work until she ended working in a BPO at the IT park of Cebu. She goes to church and meets Jayde. Jayde is a simple man, no man's word, I think.

Last quarter of 2019, they had decided to get married through a covenant that would bind them into eternity.  Their belief was that marriage can last to eternity if they will do it in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints Temple.

The pictures posted here are evidence of their love and willingness to submit themselves to each other.

1. Introduction

5. Climax - focal point or central event
6. Conclusion


Purpose - The essay should have a clear focus. Think of your purpose as the thesis of the story.

What is Plagiarism

2 Types of Plagiarism by BYU Idaho

Intentional Plagiarism - is the deliverate act of representing the words, ideas, or data of another as one's own without providing proper attribution to the author through quotation, reference, or footnote.

Inadvertent Plagiarism - Involves the inappropriate, but non-deliberate, use of another's words, ideas, or data without proper attribution.

When to cite: 
Cite any direct quotation, paraphrase, graphic, or summary
Other information to cite
Anything taken from a different source need to be cited. Other information include but not limited to graphics, pictures, music lyrics written by someone else or anything taken from another source.

Do not cite common knowledge
- Well-now facts
- Historical events
- Facts that are found in several places (Without citation)
- Folklore and myths



Avoiding Plagiarism
"Most cases of plagiarism can be avoided... by citing srouces. Simply acknowledging that certain material has been borrowed, and providing your audience with the information necessary to find that source, is usually enough to prevent plagiarism."

- do not forget quotation marks when using direct quotes
- double check your work and the original source for any possible borrowed phrases and missed citations
- cite anything that you aren't sure of, just to be safe
- use an informal, in-text citation if a citation style isn't specified: In his essay "The Pleasure of Eating," Wendell Berry argues that "The specialization of production induces specialization of consumption."

Why Saving Money Important


Why studying BYU pathway connect I've learned the secret in saving Money. I don't know who makes this statement but I think he has a point to teach us particularly in saving Money.

I hope to record this statement in my blog to recall this for me and my family to do.

The statement goest like this:

The Secret to Saving Money
In the house of the wise are stores of choice food and oil, but a foolish man devours all he has. –Proverbs 21:20

Saving money is not a matter of math. You will not save money when you get that next raise. You will not save money when that car is paid off. You will not save money when the kids are grown. You will only save money when it becomes an emotional priority.
We all know we need to save, but most people don't save like they know they need to save. Why? Because they have competing goals. The goal to save isn't a high enough
priority to delay that purchase of the pizza, DVD player, new computer, or china cabinet. So we purchase, buy, consume all our dollars away or, worse yet, go into debt to buy these things. That debt means monthly payments that control our paychecks and make us say things like, "We just don't make enough to save any money!" Wrong, wrong, wrong! We do make enough to save money; we just aren't willing to quit spoiling ourselves with our little projects or pleasures to have enough left to save. I don't care what you make—you can save money. It just has to become a big enough priority to you.
If a doctor told you that your child was dying and could only be saved with a $15,000 operation that your insurance would not cover and could only be performed nine months from today, could you save $15,000? Yes! Of course you could! You would sell things, you would stop any spending that wasn't required to survive, and you would take two extra jobs. For that short nine months, you would become a saving madman (or madwoman). You would give up virtually anything to accomplish that $15,000 goal. Saving would become a priority.
The secret to saving? Focused emotion. The secret to saving money is to make it a priority, and that is done only when you get some healthy anger or fear and then focus that emotion on your personal decisions. Harnessing that emotion will make you move yourself to the top of your creditor list. Then ask yourself, "Which bill is the most important? After tithing, who should I pay first this month?" The answer is you! Until you pay God first, then yourself, then everyone and everything else, you will never save money.
The advertisers and marketing community are affecting our emotions every day and taking every dollar we have by making us see our wants as needs. It is time for this to stop! Emotions make great slaves, but they are lousy masters. No matter how educated or sophisticated we are, if we are not saving all we should be, we are being ruled by emotions, not harnessing them as financial planning slaves.
So whether you are saving for college tuition, a trip to the family reunion, new school clothes for little Bobby or Sally, or anything else, start saving now! It's never too late!
