Marky cielo died at 20 years old

The Philippine Entertainment Portal on Sunday reported that it received a confirmed report that young actor Marky Cielo died at dawn Sunday. He was 20 years old.

The report said the cause of death is not yet clear. An initial report says that Marky died in his sleep. His mother went up to his room in their house in Antipolo City around 6 a.m. to wake him up for a charity event. But he never woke up.

GMA 7 issued the following statement past 4 p.m. Sunday on the death of Cielo.

"Bandang alas 10 kaninang umaga sa Antipolo Doctors Hospital ay idineklarang dead on arrival ang young actor at Starstruck Nationwide Invasion Sole Survivor na si Marky Cielo.

"Ayon sa paunang salaysay ng kanyang ina na si Mildred Cielo, natagpuan niyang nakahandusay ang kanyang anak sa kanilang tahanan sa Antipolo, Rizal, at agad niya itong isinugod sa ospital. Sa ngayon ay hinintay pa nila ang resulta ng imbestigasyon sa sanhi ng pagpanaw ni Marky Cielo bago magbigay ng opisyal na pahayag ang kanyang pamilya.

Tubong Mountain Province at may lahing Igorot si Marky Cielo, at itinanghal na Sole Survivor sa Season 3 ng Starstruck. Hinangaan siya sa kanyang husay sa kanyang pag-arte at pagsayaw.

Huli siyang napanood sa Startok, SOP, at La Lola. Siya rin ang tumatayong Youth Spokesperson ng Department of Health.

Si Marky Cielo ay 20 years old. Bukod sa mga panalangin, humihiling ang pamilya Cielo ng privacy sa matinding dagok na to sa kanilang buhay."

Marky was a product of GMA-7's StarStruck Batch 3, where he won as the "Ultimate Sole Survivor." He was the first Igorot from Baguio City to join the popular reality-based artista search. Among his batchmates were Iwa Moto, Jackie Rice, and Gian Carlo.

After winning in StarStruck, he appeared in several GMA-7 shows which included Encantadia, Fantastikids, Bakekang, Asian Treasures, Boys Next Door, Kaputol ng Isang Awit, and Codename: Asero. But he was best known as Zaido Green in Zaido: Pulis Pangkalawakan.

He was also a mainstay of the musical-variety show SOP and in the primetime series La Lola.

Marky, who is also known for his dancing prowess, grew up in Butuan City but his family moved to the north.

To have you in my life another year,
The time I spent enfolded in your love,
Each day, each moment with you is so dear.

I cherish the very special bond we have.
You lift my spirit in so many ways.

And send to you my love and care and praise.

Happy birthday, Mom!

feeling of being in love??

There are people who are afraid to fall in love as they don’t want to get hurt but can you control yourself when the cupids bow hits you?

There’s a little space between love and hatred as when you fall in love beside it are pain, tears, suffering that results with hatred. Though i don’t generalize it as there are people who will understand and respect the person when they decide to move out of the relationship and they just let their love to the person controls over hatred.

Being in love will let you feel that your on the happiest and loneliest moment of your life. There’s no perfect relationship. It will definitely have a point that you feel that your relationship will crash and that you can’t make it work but then there will be times that you felt your flying or your in heaven being with your love, seeing him/her beside you, seeing how happy he/she is with you, feeling the love and care their sharing with you.

People tend to see their love one’s as their inspiration, as the breath that they take, as their lives, and some will tell that they can’t live without them. But can’t you really live without them? I don’t think so! you have lived without them when you haven’t met them or share the special relationship you have with each other and you can do that now that their not around. Your just putting it on your mind and let depression controls you thats why you can’t move on. I do understand that you love the person but you must love more yourself. Life doesn’t end when something like this happened. Heartbreaks are part of life. This are trials or problems that you will encounter for you to learn something. A relationship doesn’t begin and end for nothing. When you fall in love you’ll be happy, enjoy it while its there. Hold it like a baby, hold it like your holding a gold, hold it carefully but not too tight as when you do it will do everything and shows you effort to be free from hold just like the little baby who will cry out loud for you to know that he/she is irritated from your hold. So hold it gently as you care and you don’t want them to slip away from you hands.

Praise And Worship

Praise and Worship - A Natural Desire
Praise and worship seems to be universal. Have you ever heard of an explorer finding a new tribe or culture that doesn't worship? Worship is a natural instinct and a basic need for every person. A simple definition of worship is to regard with great devotion or to honor as a divine being. Take a second to think about what you are most devoted to in this life and ask yourself, "Is it worthy of my devotion; do I worship a divine being?"

We don't all worship the same God, but everyone worships something or someone. Since we all worship, we should question the reason for this desire. The most logical conclusion is that we were created by a higher being for the very purpose of worship.

The ongoing quest of man is to find answers to the fundamental questions of human origin, human nature, and human destiny. There is one book that has the answers to all these questions, including our questions about worship. The Bible is the wonderful and mysterious book that God has chosen as a way to communicate with us.

God is the focus of our devotion in both the Old Testament and the New Testament. In Exodus 20:2-3, God says, "I am the LORD your God .....You shall have no other gods before me." In Matthew 4:10, Jesus says, "Worship the Lord your God and serve him only." So, worship is not merely a natural instinct, it's a command from God.

Praise and Worship - Why Should We do it?
God alone is worthy of our devotion, praise and worship. He is God, our Creator, and we are commanded to praise and worship Him. Psalm 96:9 says, "Worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness; tremble before him, all the earth." Psalm 29:2 says, "Give unto the Lord the glory due his name; worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness."

A.W. Tozer said, "Without worship, we go about miserable." God doesn't want us to be miserable -- He has a perfect plan for our lives. He has done so many things to show us that He loves us and doesn't want us to be miserable. He wants us to have hope for a future with Him --he wants us to have eternal life in heaven with Him.

A life of praise and worship fills our deepest needs, and amazingly, it also brings great joy to God. Zephaniah 3:17 states, "The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing."

Praise and Worship - How Do We do it?
God tells us how to praise and worship him in His Word. John 4:23 says, "Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks." In order to worship God in truth, we need to know that Jesus said "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." So, before you can worship in the way that God desires, you have to develop a relationship with Him through faith in Jesus, His Son.

The best way that we can praise and worship God is with our every thought and action. Romans 12:1-2 states, "Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God -- this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is -- his good, pleasing and perfect will."

Praise and Worship - Love from the Heart
Many people think that praise and worship is only singing songs at church, but it is so much more! It is also a condition of your heart -- a willingness to exalt God and yield to his will. Worship is an expression of love and awe to the God who gives us more than we deserve. Whether you express your worship by singing, playing music, dancing or in some other way, remember that you are called to worship God with your every action, every day of your life. God is holy, loving, and worthy of all our worship and devotion.

"Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength." (Deut. 6:5)

at the reCeption...

How do we know when God is closing a door and opening a window, as opposed to testing our patience to persevere through a particular situation?

There have been so many times in my life that we have been faced with a situation where it feels like we are backed in a corner. I always trust God and know that He is there with me at all times. My dilemma always seems to be knowing what God's Will for my life is. I don't necessarily think that every thing in our life needs to be placed down to what God wants us to do or not. A friend said one time, God doesn't really care if you choose a hamburger or chicken sandwich. He doesn't micromanage our lives. But I do believe when we are having difficulty there has to be meaning or at least something to be learned from it. My question is, how do you determine if your are at a place where you have to make a major change or is your patience just being tested? Or does it not have anything to do with God and His desires for me and my life at all?

"patience in testing"

I was entreating the Lord on behalf of my trial and he gave me John 11:6. I believe He was telling me that He is aware of my situation but will not take me out of the testing until the time He has determined so that He will be glorified. Maybe I am reaching but I don't know why else this verse would pop into my mind.
In RESPONSE to THAt....
This is indeed a great verse/parallel for situations where God makes us wait. When one is under pressure, it is hard to remember that for God, a day is like a thousand years. It is also easy to shake our heads when we read of believers in the Bible not being patient enough to wait for God's deliverance, being critical as we sit in our arm chairs. But I know from personal experience that when the heat is turned up, a day can seem like a thousand years, and I find myself tempted to say, as in the Psalms, "How long, O Lord?" I need to start making a list of these passages/parallels. I had never thought of the Lazarus situation in this respect before, but it clearly is an excellent reminder that even when, from the human point of view, it looks for all the world like "the game is over", the decision has been rendered, and we were not delivered, still, as long as we are alive, there is reason to hope in God, because nothing is impossible for Him, not even raising the dead, not even bringing forth life from a man and woman in their 90's, not even sending His own Son into the world as a true man to die for us. It is very, very easy to lose the right perspective, especially when the pressure mounts and the time grows long, and the Abyss approaches. God let the Egyptian army get right to the point of deploying to destroy the Israelites before He made a way through that seemingly untraversable sea. It is sometimes hard to trust His timing. As I grow in the Lord, I am trying to take this perspective under pressure, trying to remember that we are all tested, trying to remember that I actually want to be tested, to enjoy the experience, to show my heart and my faith - this is not stuff for spiritual neophytes, but it is essential to get to a certain point of spiritual growth. I have learned a lot of things in my spiritual life by failing tests. I want to get to the point of learning some things through passing tests.

Thank you for your patience, faith and persistence. It really is a reminder to me that all our "brothers in the world are undergoing the same kind of suffering " (1Pet.5:9), and an example of the positive witness of keeping one's chin up at all times.

CELINE & CHARISE taking chances world tour

I wonder if you could still call Celine and Charice’s performance a duet. After all, Celine gave her stage generously to Charice and the latter delivered! Celine invited Charice to perform the song “Because You Loved Me” for the Madison Square Garden leg of her “Taking Chances” Concert Tour. The Filipina singer flew all the way to New York (from Edmonton, Canada?) to fulfill a dream to sing with her idol on September 15 (NYT). I loved to watch of their performance several times. The 16-year old girl gave me goosebumps especially at the beginning of her song. I could feel how much she’s dedicating it to her mother.


I’m so happy for Charice not because she’s a Filipina, but because of what she’d gone through and for the doors that have been opened for her. She’s an inspiration - PERIOD!

Here’s the full 10-minute video of Charice’s dream fulfilled - a duet with the generous Celine Dion who gave her stage to a fan..

PURPOSE OF LIFE

Purpose of Life
Finding the meaning of your life

A life without a purpose is, well, pointless, and yet we give amazingly little thought to what our purpose is.

If someone were to ask you, "What is the purpose of your life?" how would you answer? It's not an easy question.

The harder one thinks about it, the worse it can get.

You might have a desire to have a family, for example. So you have children, and they have children, and so forth and so on, and then what? If individual lives have no meaning, why would making more of them add meaning?

You might see your life-purpose in terms of serving others. That sounds noble (and indeed, I think it is), but if individual lives have no meaning by themselves, then why would serving others add meaning?

Where does meaning come from?

We know, in our hearts, that such things as having a family or serving others are meaningful activities. We recognize this without trying, even if we can't say why.

Somehow we know that loving other people is a good thing, a meaningful thing. Why? Because that's what God made us to do. Something in us knows that, even if we're not so sure about the God part.

Loving people is a good thing for us to do because that's what God designed us to do. That, and to love Him too.

Man's purpose - the purpose for which God made us - is to love God and love one another.

That sounds good, and it is. It may also sound easy, but it isn't.

There is something in us that rebels, something in us that doesn't always want to do what we know is right.

Loving others means putting their needs ahead of ours.

That's not easy to do: it can feel like losing rather than loving. We're afraid that we won't get our needs met.

Being selfish sometimes feels like a better alternative, and sometimes we choose it. Actually, pretty often we choose it.

God's purpose for man is not trivial, and we're not nearly as close to fulfilling it as we'd like to think.

We all think that we're loving people, but all those people who you see being selfish . . . they think they're loving people too. It's so much easier to see someone else's selfishness than to see our own.

But loving others is what we were intended for, and, consequently, it is what brings us and those around us the most joy and peace and, not surprisingly, the most meaningful lives.

Loving God should be easier than loving others but we're no better at it.

Loving God requires that we love the truth, and we don't always want to do that. The truth about ourselves isn't always pleasing, and we'd rather avoid it.

Distorting the truth - sometimes a little, sometimes a lot - often seems like a better alternative than putting the truth above ourselves.

Sometimes we want to look good more than we want to be completely truthful.

We want to look good; we want to be first. Yet neither of those brings us lasting joy.

We settle for the momentary puffing up of our egos, missing the meaning of our lives altogether.

Living up to God's purpose for us is both desirable and impossible, unless God helps us to do it. The good news is that He will - if we're willing.

The First ThinG ! ! !

Praising God - The First Thing!
Do you know that praising God is the best thing to do first before anything else? Have you ever been in a situation that you feel all alone? Or have you encountered a difficult situation in your life and you don't know what to do, like losing your job or suffering the loss of someone very close to your heart? Consider the good times such as when you receive a raise from your boss or earn high marks at school? What do you usually do during these moments? Praising God makes every circumstance of our lives complete, essential, and eminently worthwhile.

Webster defines the word praise as to say good things about and it is synonymous to words such as admire, commend, extol, honor, and worship. A definition of Christian praise is the joyful thanking and adoring of God, the celebration of His goodness and grace.1 This simply implies that the act of praising is rightfully due to God alone.

Praising God - How to Praise and Worship God
How is praising God possible? Singing songs and hymns, clapping our hands, even jumping for joy…the list is endless. We can give glory and praise to our God with the use of our physical bodies, with our hearts and minds, and with our deeds. There are many ways to praise God! No matter how you praise and worship God, it should result in an awe of God's power, love, and grace for all of us!

Sometimes history is made by the force of arms on battlefields, sometimes by the fall of an exhausted empire. But often when historians set about figuring why a nation took one course rather than another, they are most interested in who said what to whom at a meeting far from the public eye whose true significance may have been missed even by those who took part in it.
WIESBADEN, Germany - It's been seven years since the images of airplanes smashing into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon were seared into our memories. Seven years since the world changed dramatically - especially for those who have grown up in the wake of 9-11.

For military families, Sept. 11, 2001, signaled the start of a never-ending series of deployments, family separations, and friends and loved ones sometimes lost.

Unlike past wars, though, where the entire nation was mobilized to support a war effort to battle a common foe through massive involvement by all segments of our society, the Global War on Terrorism has meant only a minority of Americans being called to travel to faraway lands to fight an elusive enemy that lurks mostly in the shadows, often indistinguishable from the general population.

While this war has continued - sometimes forgotten by the majority of Americans who have gone about their daily lives far from the frontlines - government organizations such as Homeland Security, which sprang up as a result of 9-11, and U.S. citizens across the nation have faced natural disasters such as Hurricanes Katrina and Gustav, Tropical Storm Hanna, wildfires and other life-altering events.

For those who can recall a time when entire nations battled furiously around the globe, when populations were decimated, villages annihilated and cities razed to the ground during two world wars - and a time when Americans were divided as a nation by an unpopular war in Vietnam, not sure even whether to call it a conflict or a war - the Global War on Terrorism may seem less significant in comparison.

But for those who have been in the middle of the fray, who have dedicated their lives to trying to make a change in places where intolerance, brutality and fear have long ruled, who have risked injury and even death because for the greater good of all Americans - the Global War on Terrorism is anything but insignificant.

heart to heart with God

Today I have to say that I had a great day today. If you count the earthquake out then it's cool. I still look at it as a great day. The Lord is still letting me live. I want to say what I have learned from HIM. Hopefully you will be blessed by what you read. I learned today from HIM is that He planted a zeal in my heart to enjoy HIS PRESENCE. I love to hear that. HE said the HE is always walking with me and talking with me. HE said that HE needs me to accomplish HIS will. I never will be left out because of that. HE needs me and I need HIM the most. HE said that I should not want what those people who look like they are rich, but are not. HE told me that because the people who do things out of MY Will, will loose it. HE said that it will be shown that they need the Lord. I learned that an accomplishment is not one if you do not do it by the Lord's Will. If the Lord did not help, it's nothing. I learned that HE has to be my source for everything. I have to not lean to my own understanding. I have to listen to HIM in order for things to go right. I learned that it's not job to save my own life. It's the Lord's job to save me. HE decides who will be saved. If I die right not I would not die. I would live in Spirit with the Lord. The Lord already conquered death. HE said I will still live. If I try to save my own life. I will loose it. The last thing i learned is that I should look ahead to HIM. I should not look back at what I did. I should look towards HIM and see the reward. I should always look to HIM and everything will be great. That's what I learned from the Lord today. I thank the Lord for giving me wisdom so I can live like HIM. i thank HIM for bringing me comfort when I needed it. I had no one else around me. Only the Lord. I could of called my friends, but it might of turned out that he or she might be doing thins. GOD did command that we should not have any ideas before HIM. So I trust the Lord to bring me comfort because HE is always available. HE is always available because HE never sleeps. HE never sleeps because HE is making sure the things are perfect for you and me.
