-Bruce R. McConkie-

I just read also an article from Donna Freitas "True Love Waits" 

"Last Friday at midnight, thousands of teenage girls lined up at bookstores all over the country to get a copy of “Breaking Dawn,” the much anticipated fourth and last novel in Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight series. In the months leading up to the midnight festivities, Ms. Meyer was dubbed the new J.K. Rowling by Time magazine and USA Today and made countless appearances to feed the frenzy among her adoring public. The book’s publisher, Little, Brown, did a startling first print run of 3.2 million copies. A four-city “Breaking Dawn” concert tour starring Ms. Meyer and Justin Furstenfeld of the band Blue October — whose music inspired some of Ms. Meyer’s storytelling — launched in New York on Friday at 7 p.m. (and was simulcast by Entertainment Weekly). And the first Twilight movie will come out in December.

But what exactly does Stephenie Meyer, a young, Mormon mother of three, offer that has girls everywhere swooning? And their moms, too?

Bella and Edward find themselves “unconditionally and irrevocably in love,” as Ms. Meyer writes. Despite this, there are barely more than a few passionate kisses in the series’ first 1,700-or-so pages, and almost no kissing at all in its first 500. Rather, Bella and Edward are satisfied by nearness. An innocent touch of the hand feels “as if an electric current had passed through us,” Bella explains at one point. Saying her beloved’s name, Edward, is “a thrill” in and of itself. Edward’s breath on Bella’s face is a heady, intoxicating experience, and Edward is knocked nearly senseless by Bella’s smell, which he describes as floral, “like lavender . . . or freesia.” They are restless unless they are together. But when together, they create more sparks than either knows how to handle.

For the uninitiated, the four Meyer novels — “Twilight,” “New Moon,” “Eclipse” and now “Breaking Dawn” 
- tell the story of a regular girl, Isabella Swan, who falls in love with a not-so
 regular boy, Edward Cullen. Edward is a vampire. New to the perpetually rainy town of Forks, Wash., Bella immediately falls for the pale and shockingly beautiful Edward — who does everything in his power to resist his attraction to Bella. Edward has long fed only on animals, not humans, but his thirst for Bella’s blood is beyond intense. Neither, it turns out, can stay away from the other, and what follows is a page-turning saga, a portrait of adolescent desire and first love at its most powerful and tender.

Oh, and then there’s Jacob, Bella’s best friend, also supernaturally beautiful (he’s a werewolf) and in love with Bella — creating a triangle that has fans declaring allegiances to one or the other of Bella’s suitors. (Though Edward clearly wins the day.)

And here lies Ms. Meyer’s secret. She knows that romantic tension is often better built with anticipation than action. That there is enough excitement in gazes, conversation, proximity and maybe a few stolen kisses to keep young lovers busy for years — if they allow themselves to indulge in this slow kind of seduction.

Ms. Meyer’s fans agree. This vampire love story has captured more than their hearts — it has them demanding that young men behave like gentlemen. And it also has them waxing poetic about what sounds a lot like abstinence.

At the New York “Breaking Dawn” concert event, amid girls alternately chanting “Ed-ward! Ed-ward!” and “Steph-en-ie!” and screaming with excitement, one girl, Jordana, explained why she thought the relationship between Bella and Edward was so compelling and sexy, even though they never go further than kissing. “They are so perfect together and so into talking to each other and just being together, you don’t even notice they don’t kiss.” Her friend Sarah added that “they show that you can have a perfect relationship without being physical.”

Another pair of girls, Donna and Meghan, said they loved “the forbidden passion” laced throughout the series. (And, indeed, many girls wore T-shirts that said: “The forbidden fruit tastes the sweetest.” This may be a reference to the cover art of the first book, which shows two hands holding an apple.) “Bella and Edward connect in ways other than with sex. They connect spiritually,” Donna explained. “They just look at each other and sparks fly.”

“It’s not all physical,” Meghan chimed in, saying once again a line I heard over and over from girls I interviewed. “I mean, Edward has been alive since 1901,” Meghan continued. They both then stopped to do the math. “That’s over 100 years and he’s been waiting for Bella the whole time! He’s never been with anyone else. That’s the most romantic thing ever.”

Teenage girls were not the only ones with a strong presence at the Twilight Party. Mom-fans from the online group TwilightMoms.com were out in full force, wearing T-shirts boasting their allegiance and excitedly talking about why the series is good for their daughters. “Edward is everything every high-school boy isn’t,” one said with conviction. This mother of a teenage girl went on to explain how boys “are only interested in booty calls, not romance,” while the rest of the TwilightMoms nodded their heads in agreement. “Twilight shows girls that you can have the most intimate, romantic relationship of your life without any sex.”

Another mother nearby had a litany of reasons why the series was good for girls. “Twilight helps girls realize they don’t need to settle for anything less than what they really want,” she began. “It teaches them to keep high standards. That there are guys that will treat them with respect. Girls today need to learn this, and they can learn it from this series.”

I just loved her article!! I've been much on research recently today...I love the last part that say's
 “It teaches them to keep high standards. That there are guys that will treat them with respect. Girls today need to learn this, and they can learn it from this series.”

We  have to be Clean and Pure to enter into the Temple in the way we act,think,speak and keeping our body clean . 

Two Horses

Hope all is well!! I hop onto reading this story and i Love it..found it at LDS website's on google just wanted to share this story . One of my favorite Stories ever !!


Just up the road from my home is a field, with two horses in it.

From a distance, each looks like every other horse.

But if you stop your car, or are walking by,

You will notice something quite amazing.

Looking into the eyes of one horse will disclose that he is blind.

His owner has chosen not to have him put down,

But has made a good home for him.

This alone is amazing.

If nearby and listening, you will hear the sound of a bell.

Looking around for the source of the sound,you will see that it comes from the smaller horse in the field.

Attached to her halter is a small bell.

It lets her blind friend know where she is, so he can follow her.

As you stand and watch these two friends, you’ll see how she is always checking on him,

And that he will listen for her bell and then slowly walk

To where she is, trusting that she will not lead him astray.

When she returns to the shelter of the barn each evening,

She stops occasionally and looks back, making sure her friend isn't too far behind to hear the bell.

Like the owners of these two horses,

God does not throw us away just because we are not perfect

Or because we have problems or challenges.

He watches over us and even brings others into our lives

To help us when we are in need.

Sometimes we are the blind horse being guided

By the little ringing bell of those who God places in our lives.

Other times we are the guide horse, helping others see.

Good friends are like this........ .

You don't always see them, but you know they are always there.

Please listen for my bell and I'll listen for yours.

"Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet

Is fighting some kind of battle".

Lesson's Learned Quotes

Life is not about the mistakes you've made, but the lessons you've learned.

We seem to realize things when its too late to fix it...call them lessons learned.

Some pages turned, some bridges burned, but there were lessons learned.

I believe that nothing is more important to our ability to effectively address our present than understanding the lessons learned from those who have come before us.                                     - Charlie Gonzales-

We didn't do anything wrong, but among the lessons learned, given the magnitude of the problems we now face in Afghanistan, a major U.S. force on the ground would convince the world we were in for the long-haul recovery of a country devastated by 21 years of warfare.
                                     - Alexander Haig -


Don't take the lessons you learned today for granted. Take time to download at the end of your day to reflect.

The best lessons learned are the ones learned the HARD way.

From lessons learned comes better life.


Practice giving thanks for the lessons learned from your past.

Mama,Mommy,Mom,Nanay,Inay's Love

Me/Mom/and Little Sister

              I remember a song called  "Mother's are so special" or "Mother I love You " all of this songs were usually songs at Mother's day . Some of my mama's attributes of being a mother,a wife and a friend to her kids. But moreover I would like to talk more about my mama and how she sacrifices things for her family and kids.
When I was still in her tummy I knew she take care of me carefully and loved me. Until i came on earth still her love and care for me become more stronger and stronger. I was really chubby at that time while she was little thin carrying me in her arms, that little baby grow as time passed by.
              Mama took care of us with neatly dresses and clean house, she's very diligent in doing the household chores. She also makes sure that her children are healthy and in a very comfortable clean house. Mama taught me to read and write indeed I should say she is my first Teacher and mentor that when i enrolled in 1st Grade my teacher at school ask me to teach my classmates to read especially when it's reading time. She became my protector too aside from Papa, she fights every bad boys who bully me at school, she also became my disciplinarian and taught me what's right and wrong ,what reverence means especially on Sabbath day.
             She became my friend, when I have a problem I usually run to her and tell her and she is always my solution maker. She went abroad for two year's last 2005 and serve as a Domestic Helper,sends money to her family and for me that decision was a very big sacrifice especially for her as a Mother/Wife. At those time's because I am her Eldest daughter I learned how hard it is to be a Mom, I do what she usually do, Wash our clothes,cook food,clean the house together with my studies as 4rth year Highschool and 1st year of College and because we grow with her care we are dependent on her so when she leave us it was a hard work as an eldest daughter of her . I realized how Mom's are important.
           I'm 20 years old now, for twenty years of being with her i realize how she is important to me. I realized how much a Mom / Mama can sacrifice things for her children. She didn't finish any college Degree but for me she "does" in the "College of Mom's Best Skills" , she was even a Doctor she cures every hurt hearts and scars,fevers and whenever I feel weak she is there. She was one of the best Businesswoman ,when my Papa lost his job,She tried her best to be a businesswoman to just sustain our needs and wants.
          One of the Best Budgeter's , she budget's money at home very sufficiently, Best Cook, I love her delicious foods especially when she prepares it every meal . I thank her for the unconditional love,Guidance and taking care of us since we were still young. She is a strong person,it's just people sometimes don't understand her, but i would rather tell them, "Seek her real beauty/Color and I'm sure you'll love her". She's my Mama,Nanay,Mom,Mommy,Mother.

Papa's Love for us

Before i was born my papa became a driver of a jeep and my mama serve as a "konduktor" while she bare me in her tummy , both of them work hard for the preparation of my coming here on earth , while working hard driving they have a big piggy bank, and all their "ginansiya" were put on that piggy bank . After working hard,saving money for my coming here on earth, after  8 months, i came out from my mother's womb , both of them struggles in life , i begin to grow as a little kid .

I remember events with my dad, while i won't see him for a week or a month, he rarely went home because of his projects that  were so far from CDO, Traveling always, But the best thing is when he come's home, i remember running so fast just to reach him and hold his arm or hands walking back home, sometimes he bring special "PASALUBONG" for us, and love his pasalubong. When he came home he loves to treat us to shop at the mall,eating on our favorite food chain, buying toys, clothes, and shoes.

My papa's arm became my comfort whenever i feel weak and trials and challenges i face when i am growing up,He became my protector or should i say knight and shining armor whenever someone bullying me at school. 

He became my MENTOR , teaching me much about the GOSPEL and the life of Jesus Christ , he helps me when i have hard math assignments on school, gearing a wire to produce light and sometimes fetching us from school. He always tells us to live in a righteous life, and telling us to Don't waste their efforts because they are trying their best to give us what we want.  He also tells us stories about his childhood life , he live in a very hard life family, his hardship in going to school until college. That's why he never wanted us to live like he lived before.

He also became my teacher, teaching me how real life is, he help me realize that this life need's you to be mature in facing different kinds of people. He teach me how to be reverent in Sacrament, and he teach me how to respect other people , He teach me how to love each and everyone i meet. 

His arm's of love became my strenght when my mom decided to work abroad. He became our "MAMA AND PAPA" he cook for our breakfast and sometimes do the laundry. And at the same time work as a contractor again, He became our strenght when everything seem went wrong in our lives. I remember he gave me a Father's Blessing in taking an exam at CMU and also at STI .

He is my example, he never surrender nor stops in life, i admire him of his unconditional love for his Daughters , He served the Lord well, inspite of Trials and challenges came through his life , He became my example to learn to love the less fortunate people. 

I admire him of being a good son to his parents, a good uncle, a good leader, an exemplary PAPA to his 2 Daughter's , a good and best husband to my MAMA, our protector, knight and shining Armor, a Mentor, teacher , a COOL Papa of all, Teodulo G. Quijada Jr.
