HELLO TO HEAVEN LYRICS

Words & Music by Acel Bisa - van Ommen
Arranged and Produced by Jack Rufo

She was sobbing like a child
broken and hurt
rejected by a love she hold dear
Did anyone listen?
Then there’s this man lost and confused
Hated himself for what he has done
Can he still be forgiven?

Oh you stopped and listened
With comforting words to lift them up
Filling that void with the one true answer
to their question

Hello, hello to heaven
You are near
Hello, hello to heaven
You’re welcome here

I was driving along the avenue
Saw some kids on the streets
begging for food
Did anyone notice?
Kids selling flowers to get by
They should be playin and learning…
A face with a smile
Can anyone stop and do something?

Oh you stopped and gave love
Showed them affection
Taught them to read and write
And so I say…

Hello, hello to heaven
You are near
Hello, hello to heaven
You’re welcome here

Inside of us something’s waiting to happen
Inside of us is shouting to make a difference
Inside of us, in Him and through Him
great things will breakthrough

Hello, hello to heaven
You are near
Hello, hello to heaven
You’re welcome here

Assssssk?

Anon 1: Yep, well just for photo manipulation :)

Anon 2: Adobe Photoshop CS5!

Anon 3: I do all my editing on my computer in my photoshop. And I don’t really have a prepared settings before I shoot I just keep trying out different ones till it fits the certain lighting of the place or something :) I believe some photographer’s do edit on the camera but I don’t actually don’t know any who do that? :)) LOL and mainly it always ends up on your taste and how you’d like to do it.. every photographer has their own way of doing things that make it their own :) so yeah, just make it your own..

Anon 4: Oh yeah! Hi Martina! God bless you too <3

Anon 5: If you can go for the best then go for it then! ;) all cameras are really good! 600D and 60D are very alikeeee it’s just the screens that are the difference so it depends on you.. Just do a lot of research on Youtube which one fits your needs best..

Anon 6: Haha, you’re funny. LOL! ;))

Anon 7: It’s from Ratatouille actually :)) HAHAHA! Try searching for Yael Namin - Paris

Anon 8: I’m sorry I don’t think I’ve heard of Ann He! D; I’ll look it up!

Anon 9: Hi there! My family and I always stay at Nataasan Resort. It has the best view of the beach compared to the other resorts.. [;

Anon 10: Hey gawjus I miss you too. ;)

Anon 11: I guess it would be okay with a 7D..? :))

Anon 12: OKAY, WHAT I’VE LEARNED THROUGHOUT THE YEARS IS TO BUY WHATEVER FITS YOUR TASTE ;)) forget whatever anyone else says about Nikon or Canon just pick the one you like how the photos outcome is more.. for me, I used to have a Nikon but I ended up liking the colors and tones of Canon more.. but that’s just me.

Anon 13: You really have to think if those suit your lifestyle, if you just use your camera mostly for events and outings than I’d say those are good choices! Because their light, portable and handy unlike a DSLR it needs cleaning and it’s heavy and hard to bring places.. So yeah :)

Anon 14: Awww, thank you so much for the kind words! Haha, yeah I don’t why.. it just feels like I can’t post anything I want when it comes to Tumblr. I don’t know.. and I’ve been posting so rarely lately these past few months.. I’ll try to keep this blog going D; Thanks for the concern!

Watch out for an upcoming cover by THEEEEE CLARA BENIN! She asked us to help her out with new video for her cover which I can’t wait to post already. It’s going to be amazeballs!

Assssssk?

  • Anonymous 1:  Black. Brunette. Long Hair.
  • Anonymous 2:  I think that’s the second best choice! I have recommended some of my friends before to go for that camera :)
  • Anonymous 3:  Hahaha! Who is this? LOL!

  • Anonymous 4:  Hi, Awwww sure! But your anonymous? Haha! :P May I please know who this is? I just want you to know even if we can’t get that close I just want to share with you that Jesus is there to be your best friend and He’ll listen to every problem you go through.. He’s there always to listen and He has a plan for you too. He’s your supporter, lover, best friend, Father.. I can’t always exactly be that close friend you might wish, but please remember Jesus is there and he’s always listening and ready to make you happy :) and never keep you lonely..
  • Anonymous  5:  Wow, God bless you for your kind words! I can’t believe you’d go all the way pa to my ask to write down these things? I pray God bless’ you abundantly! You know without God, my life wouldn’t be this way.. If my parents didn’t make the choice to serve God, my life wouldn’t be like this.. It’s all because of a CHOICE to serve and obey him all the days of our lives :) Life is all about CHOICES..
  • Anonymous 6: Haha, I’ve never blocked a question.. just delete! LOL! :))



  • Anonymous 7: I’m not sure it’s safe to put out information like that? cause my Tumblr is public? Hehe! :) Really? You did? Yeah I did get a haircut. Hehe! God bless you too <3

Anonymous 8,9,10:  I really don’t know what you’re going through because I’ve never experienced these things, but I do know that Jesus knows what you’re going through cause He’s experienced it all! Even worse! I’m not sure why you’re being attacked heavily, but I believe it’s because God has a purpose for you and the enemy is coming against people who can really be used by God and don’t let him win!All I can say is.. Don’t let him steal your joy! Your strength is JOY! And that’s joy that comes from the Lord be strong in Him! Through troubles this is exactly how the enemy wants to see you react! All troubled and hurt and effected by this.. but You need to confuse the enemy and show them YOUR JOY and how you are not moved by the current circumstances the world is throwing at you, because you have God’s joy inside.. constantly stand on the word of God and declare it! Here’s a little article from another Tumblr about it: CLICK THIS!
And that’s also how you show you’re christian by keeping a good attitude and just forgive them daily and only speak of good about them or nothing at all just don’t speak anything negative about them! This is a situation where you can show Jesus to them and see how bigger He is than all that.. by showing joy and good attitude! Don’t worry, God will be reward you for this :)

  • Anonymous 11:  Hiya! My Dad gave my sister’s and I instructions to read our bible everyday 3 chapters of the Old Testament and 3 chapters of The New Testament usually I read it all in the morning, because that’s when I can hear from God for directions on my whole day, but I think it’s all okay to read 3 in the night and then 3 in the morning? :) He also told us it doesn’t matter if we can’t understand it all or if we’re not in the mood or if we’re angry while reading it haha or whatever as long we keep reading it no matter what! LOL! And then after that I feed on teachings and preaching by Creflo Dollar. He’s one of my ultimate favorite preacher’s because He makes it easy to understand the word :) I suggest you download his podcasts they’re amazing! Also Joel Osteen is good.. Click here to download podcasts of Creflo Dollar

And then usually the whole day I just try to soak in as much praise & worship songs as possible I’d recommend you to listen to Jason Upton, Jesus Culture, Hillsongs and Planet Shakers. They’re very good music to soak in :) Also, have a secret place where you can get alone with God to just go all out crazy and praise him and jump and shout in that secret place and cry and laugh and whatever God wants you to experience with him during your time in the secret place.. :D

Okay so,
1- Read 3 chapters old and new
2- Listen to podcasts of preachings
3- Soak up on christian songs all day
4- Spend time with him in the secret place

GAH! I’m so happy you’re asking me these things!!! God bless you for you wanting to seek him!!!!! You know.. doing these things everyday You can really experience God speaking to you and building up your boldness to be used by Him!

  • Anonymous 12:  Well, Hmmm.. I’d go with either a Canon 7D or a 600D! You won’t regret it :D

Hold Nothing Back

I just wanted to share with you guys about something that’s been building up in my spirit since My sister and I joined our first, three day youth camp where God was able to speak to me several times and show me visions (might write down here and explain some of my visions) during the camp. It was such a blessing to be there and be renewed in the spirit and have blessed fellowship with my church family! I learned so much just by hearing some of the life stories of the other camper’s, which touched me deeply that I try not to tear up every time I think about it. But anyway, main point is.. I wanted to share with you something that’s been in my heart since then. There was this word I heard that stood out during the camp that really spoke deeply to me and made me just THINK. It was during praise and worship, I can’t quite remember which praise and worship service it was, but I remember the music team leader say something like “God made us to worship Him” And I think after I heard that God opened my spiritual eyes just then and I mean I started really deeply thinking about it. God CREATED this whole earth. He CREATED US for the soul purpose to worship HIM alone!

I was at the back (since I’m with the media team) observing with my spiritual eyes some of the youth who where a bit hesitant to really let God flow during the praise & worship and just wouldn’t move! No matter what! And I just kept thinking of that WORD. Why be shy? Why have pride? Are we higher than God? God MADE YOU TO WORSHIP HIM IN THE FIRST PLACE rather than anything you’re doing in this world! Just abandon all those feelings of self consciousness & thoughts of what people might think of you while you’re praising God! LET IT OUT! LET IT ALLLLL OUT! He created you to worship him!  How can I say this more?

I mean some youth just can’t seem to see beyond the natural! Some people these days, during praise & worship, sometimes end up getting caught up in thinking about what they’re going to have for lunch or maybe distracted by what the people in the front are wearing or whatever and sometimes it gets to me too.. but then that’s when it becomes like religion, when you’re not there because you have the heart for it, but because it’s become like tradition or a routine already in your life.. What ever happened to fully praising him with all your heart? No matter what music team or how they play it..What matters most is letting the praise and worship come from a heart that’s open and sincerely praising him. Hold nothing back when you praise and worship him! I couldn’t stand seeing some of the youth just stand there and not be moved by how beautiful and free it is to be able to WORSHIP HIM! I mean c’mon, we’re just human beings.. What are We? compared to the one who CREATED US and this earth we live on and these HUGE PLANETS! Who are we!?!? And you can’t even raise your hands or jump just to praise him for creating us little people?? Even the skies and birds shout his praises! How much more us who where given voices and hands and feet?! All to praise and worship our Creator. We can get really caught up in the natural, but we need to turn off the natural and turn our spiritual inner being!

God showed me a vision during praise & worship of a bunch of the youth with their arms lifted high to God and there was this huge giant in the middle of the room waking up from it’s sleep while they’re where worshiping. And I think it meant that the more they open their hearts to worship the more that dead sleepy giant in them will be awakened to worship Him! You’re awakening a sleeping giant inside of you the more you worship! :) and if it is already awake make sure it doesn’t fall back asleep! Keep it lively and awake at all costs!

One of my favorite parts in church is the time when we all praise & worship God. When you miss praise & worship and arrive only at the time of the preaching it’s like you literally skipped a whole church service altogether. Do you know that in the old testament when they’re about to go to war they have the praise team lead first in war? Praise LEADS you to your victory. If you’re in a battle with something right now could be sickness, poverty or other problems you need to praise your way through that victory! Praise him ahead of time! Just clap, shout, jump or sing! Like you’ve won that battle already and next thing you know you start seeing results in the natural. It’s time to change and quit the small thinking because there’s something way BIGGER than all of that and you what you’ll be shocked how much fun it actually is. I pray that God will open your spiritual eyes and see things the way He see’s them.

“Closure” Music & Lyrics by: Clara & Clarissa

I was playing around with the guitar the other night, when my fingers found its way to a catchy melody that inspired the idea of doughnuts(don’t ask), thus led me and Clarissa to start spilling out all the words that have been dangerously kept, but truthfully loud for a girl to admit to herself. We wrote this overlooking the view of beautiful Manila at Emman’s house.

The thought of you is clouding up my head.
I don’t know when this will ever end
When will you realize, how much pain you’ve cause inside?

Are you really dense as they say you are? 
When you are driving in your car,
Does it ever cross your mind? How I’m doing, am I fine?


Chorus:
I’m just looking for answers
I just need some closure
This is driving me insane
I don’t know if you’ll ever feel the same..

I still remember all the things we did and all the stupid 
things I said
I was so naive, nostalgia’s taking over me

Every time I show up you’re not there, you make me think
that you don’t care.
Always out of sight, but always on my mind.

2x I’m still willing to wait, so please don’t fade away
Don’t fade away, don’t fade away, don’t fade away
Just yet…


Please don’t fade away, until I know you feel the same way

A song Clara & Clarissa dedicated to me.
