Share His Words

August 27th, 2009

ct 685  27053 thumb Share His WordsA lot has happened to us this past years but one thing has stayed the same, He is still with us and is still guiding us everyday, even if we think we don’t need it, we are still guided. He told us to share what we know about him and to guide others. 

 

As humans, we don’t want to stand alone and move an inch without him. We ask for his guidance. We might have faith in Him but a lot of people have not seen what the benefit of having Him in their life could be. We must share Him to others so that they can live their lives knowing Him and entrusting their lives to Him.

 

Post fliers in public bulletin boards, talk to strangers and tell them that He loves them no matter what. If you want something that isn’t too direct buy a pair of religious cufflinks and get them to ask you about them. Try flaunting the classic cross cufflinks. The silver cufflinks may spark something and they might ask you about what the cross means to you. That’s the biggest step to reach those who don’t have Him in their lives yet.

 

Having faith is not as simple as spending time for your hobbies and interests; that way you’ll be branded as a hypocrite. You are His child and you were raised in His house. Everyone must and will see that as long as he is guided by His holy spirit. Go and preach His word and share Him to as many people as possible so that when the day of the judging comes, He and your friends who have come with you shall be welcomed by Him in His Kingdom.

 

A more pleasant way of telling people to kiss your butt

August 22nd, 2009

43cue0802  70098 thumb A more pleasant way of telling people to kiss your buttDon’t you sometimes just want to not say anything and just shove something to people’s faces who always stare at you like you’ve done some crime or something society terribly condemns so much that they are to think you’d be better off excluded and be considered a deviant, even if its just a tiny shit?

 

Well, nobody can really completely escape accusations and prejudices. Probably the cleverest thing that ever worked our personality is our very own temperament. Imagine lining up set of tools, from the tiniest needle for pricking to deviate attention, to a mace for pounding the uncontrollable desire to keep shut and not further squabbles anymore. There are of course ways of controlling one’s mood. Some people just rest their reactions to the cosmos. But they cannot deny that they are affected, and that they consciously do something to contribute and help cool themselves even with the littlest amount of effort. But the littlest efforts are still tiring, isn’t it?

 

Here’s a designer cufflink (not!) that does not only make you look cool and classy at the same time, but is also functional in getting rid of gadflies. If you don’t want to talk to people whom you feel have pestered you, just show them the Homer Simpson Kiss My Butt cufflinks and they are sure to politely excuse themselves and walk away. Why politely? Because the cufflinks’ carrying Homer Simpson, and who doesn’t love Homer? Who doesn’t appreciate his completely annoying but all too funny antics? Just raise your wrists parallel to a pests face, smile quick and bam! You’ll prove how effective a repellant the funny cufflinks are. So funny they’d even laugh at the idea of approaching you, haha!

 

To Alcohol!

August 21st, 2009

43cue0834  79196 thumb To Alcohol!No alcohol-drinking person today doesn’t know Homer Simpson. In fact, Homer Simpson, of The Simpsons fame, may be the only cartoon character best loved by beer-chugging, couch-heating, and donut-chomping men all over the world. His passion for drinking surpasses even that of lumpenproletariats from third world countries. Fanatics have even compiled tons of lines from Homer, through the years The Simpsons have spent on television that discourse about the mundane and transforming it into philosophy. Totally, there is no reason for someone not to like Homer Simpson other than being a yeti. Hell, even yetis would probably learn drinking draft if exposed long enough to Homers bickering.

 

And because of this, Homer is an industry. Shirts, mugs, accessories—thousands have been sold spreading the Homer Cult. Once, even communists in China commented the single biggest threat to their culture which adheres to Mao Zedong’s concept of discipline is the uncontrolled swelling of Homer’s hegemonic nature in just about everywhere The Simpsons is showed.

 

That’s why it is not a surprise to have silver cufflinks made with Homer’s face in it. Although it’s quite ambiguous, cufflinks are often used in formal occasions. Funny cufflinks like those with Homer designs (and they would definitely be funny) seems to contradict the occasion.

 

But men, how they’ve changed so much and still can’t let go of alcohol. They can easily turn formal torpidity to a lively, colored and tipsy—if not barf-reeking—night. So it wouldn’t be too curious a thing for others to see them wearing Homer’s ode to alcohol cufflinks. And it’s cool…cool without stooping to a gay level.

Something to Make Up for the Knight

August 20th, 2009

cufflinkspremier 2022 126986667  84608 thumb Something to Make Up for the KnightIt’s kind of geeky, when someone wears designer cufflinks like this. But as long as one has that superhero look—like charming, having a dimple and a great smile, a cool haircut and neat sense of fashion—being a geek won’t be a problem! 100% of the girls surveyed about it, wherein 27% are geeks themselves, all agreed that all of geekdom’s problems are the accompanying thought that geeks do have bad armpit odor, sweats too much, got thick eyeglasses and large set of upper front teeth. Yet, when asked whether how’s this big a deal to them, most of them diverged saying that it’s really about the persons attitude.

 

And truly, one attitude people love about the geeks is their own brand of humor. Something intelligent, like most humor that passes on television, but something that informs. Most of their humor doesn’t immediately get the ear but somehow jolts the mind into sudden realization.

 

Another attitude of geeks is that they mix their geekdom with their thoughtfulness. Often they would give someone a gift not of that someone’s liking but only serving the geeks intention to 1. tell how he so loves being geek so much and 2. show how he loves being a geek by making that someone also a geek.

 

So girls don’t have to be surprised when they receive superhero cufflinks like Batman cufflinks from their boyfriends. It only means their boyfriends want to talk about themselves. And its normal at times. Idolizing a cartoon character like Batman? Whoa, would that tell a lot about the guy!

So you go grab those cufflink boxes and one by one, removed what has been left of your collection of social nightmares. Right then and there, you knew that nights like that will happen over and over again until your retirement age. You knew that you just have to endure because more than you expecting all these to happen during Friday nights, the rest of the world is expecting these to happen to you to.

Cherished Memories Literally on Your Sleeves

August 14th, 2009

30cf8051g  37115 thumb Cherished Memories Literally on Your SleevesThe value of a locket is a value of adornment. A locket is usually given to and kept by someone who is in love with the idea of keeping memories with pictures. Should a man have to sail for gold in the caves of faraway lands whenever he wants to give a present to the woman he holds dear, as the usual fairytales would narrate.

 

Probably men of the present generation are luckier since machines of production and reproduction have been advanced to create jewelries that would pass the taste of the consumerists and the profit-oriented industries as well. Since the idea of giving gifts is universal and is not among those ideas that would just deteriorate to extinction through time, it has become the foundation of the subjects in making certain objects in the business industries, to gain profit.

 

Almost everybody has already submitted and adorn the beauty of a locket and the magic in it. Mothers who bore their only child provide a locket for the first lass, with her photograph on it, at least to give it as a first gift. In fiction, though, a locket is a brilliant tool for a flashback or a memory that a writer intends to show in one part of the story.

 

Locket has become almost the object of memory, of finding someone lost, of recovering the past. This feature of a locket, perhaps, gave the idea to business industries to commodify such kind of brilliance and magic. Before, only few can afford gold locket cufflinks but now that it has been mass produced, the prices went down.

 

Cufflinks companies designed a fantastic vermeil 18kt gold over sterling silver engraved locket cufflinks that feature a snap-out frame and clear screen to protect and hold two of most precious photographs to remind someone of cherished finest memories of people dearest to their hearts.
