Philippians 4:13 King James Version
4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
I hope this title rings a bell for you, whether it be from reading the bible itself or whether it was introduced to you through Stephen Curry (GS Warriors). If you are currently sporting memorabilia with this partial scripture and even if you're not, I wanna talk with ya. C'mon, this will be fun! First things first, "I can do all things...", is the 'Steph motto' and please let me know if I am wrong. That phrase originated from the bible verse above and as for Curry, well he is making a very fitting statement declaring that his awesomeness and court success come from Christ. Pretty cool in my book. So I have to ask, what does this scripture mean to you? Is it a truth for you? Why or why not? I have to add that it was a BOLD move, Steph made a bold request and because of his popularity, talent and status in the NBA he could not be denied and was able to be marketed with this verse attached. I will keep this straight and good. I try to get into Gods word daily, that's a truth for me. I have read plenty biblical stories and seen a number of single verses such as the one up top. I do hereby declare that Philippians 4:13 is My Scripture; I live for these words , I believe it, and they are truth! Dude, I have so many verses I could mention of course, but that verse alone means so much to me and as for anyone that has encountered unpleasant shifts in their life, that verse alone captured me after most of the storm was over. God has the coolest timing man! I needed that verse in my life then at that exact time to show me that what I was going through is real, and what I had been through was past, and to say to myself "LOOK AT ME NOW"! Total Survivor, because how did I get to that platform that day and give my testimony? How was I able to look back and tell everyone, Where did the time go and Why am I not a mess!? My heart sings just thinking on it. The reason I had to write on this is because I know this will help you. I'll only dissect the word: Strength! Such an awesome thing right? Who wants some? It must be awesome for those that have it; Strength. Well, the truth is that you can have it, its free, its a mindset and its confidence. Strength can mean physical strength, and it can also refer to mental strength. There is one key though, you want to have strength at all times, not just temporarily, right? ...Enter Philippians 4:13, it'll save you as much as you trust it to. Christ is not just for the Days "strength request", Christ is for all time! Repeat it as much as you need to because its cool to stand on such a rock, but seriously you will break your head relying on yourself to come through... for yourself. Your strength alone is not enough for what we go through everyday. You think God enjoys the fact that you have everyday frustrations and venting sessions that you cant seem to get over and that you cant even think they can be resolved? Stop entertaining the wrong sources, speak up for a moment and say, " God, I need your strength, the supernatural strength only you have and give". He listens and he's a do-er. Soon, this will be confidence you have, confidence in him that you wont even have to repeat it anymore but you'll know it because you received that gift from him, that he is the one behind that strength; its him. Have some faith, be more trusting of God and you will see how taking on the day is such a piece of cake but always knowing that it is not your own human strength alone, don't be silly. I will do this, I will leave this here so that you may meditate on the whole of this piece of scripture in which Paul the apostle is thanking the Philippians and makes such bold statements:
Philippians 4:11 Not that I was ever in need, for I have learned how to be content with whatever I have. 4:12 I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little. 4:13 For I can do everything through Christ,who gives me strength.

Now this guy....This is 'THE GUY'! We have been longing for a True Middleweight in Boxing and he might just be 'That Guy'. If you haven't already Fallen in Love with GGG;(Triple G), Get Ready because it will happen NOW! He is the guy you always see with the big Smile at ALL Boxing Events. He has this humble tough guy talk and nature. I don't know how that is possible but he knows he's GGGood and he'll say it but that's about it. He is a Power Body Puncher and his match ups are prone to KO's. You will hear this over and over again from commentators and now me, but he has not been knocked down or knocked out ever in his professional career. Think about that. If there is ever anyone you can truly believe will have any boxer shakin' in their boots, it's GGG. FYI, GGG simply stands for his initials, nothing more to it. Likely opponents & money making match-ups for him would be the Great Cotto or the Young Chavez Jr. Count me in for either fight! Yikes!! He is currently undefeated professionally and he's truly ...No JOKE! I should indubitably be getting paid by HBO and Shosports for the social advertising I do, this time I am actually just excited to watch Gennady in that ring again. These guys looked to be in fighting shape at the weigh-in and Golovkin is simply a Rising Boxing Superstar! As for Geale, I have only seen 2 of his fights to be honest, and...Who's Watching this match-UP!!???

Tomorrows' the BIG Day!
Canelo vs. Lara
Let's get Ready to Rumble! I am so Excited about tomorrows match-up, I HEART Action fights and this is a Promising one. So let me fill you in: Canelo is the guy that was schooled by Mayweather and then went on to beat Angulo. It is what it is, and I just think it is exactly as Canelo worded it, 2 different styles that do not compliment each other and styles that do nothing for entertainment when put together. That was a Boring Fight! Lara is, well actually I had only heard of him from the last Canelo fight with 'El Perro Angulo', whom it seemed beat Lara and due to a stoppage because of eye injury, Lara was the winner TKO Style. He was ahead on the scorecards but I feel they could have favored Angulo as well. And here we are, Lara is a hardcore Cuban, with Cuban boxer blood and all the training and experience they receive for the sport in Cuba. He is a talker, so normally we do not like the "Talker", I don't. I love to see Houston represented by athletes on a national level, and he does just that. Lara lives in Houston and talks about life in Houston and so I get it. He's up against Canelo and that guy is GOOD. Another interesting fight to watch is Abner Mares making his comeback from last years embarrassing loss. This guy has a promising future and I think he just had a moment, a moment of 'too much Ego' for his own good. I'm looking forward to my weekend. See you tomorrow, beginning with the undercards!
Don't miss All Access on Showtime as it leads up to tomorrows big match-up: Honor & Glory.
You can always view the live weigh-in later this afternoon at 5pm.

I heard that voice before...
I got an ear for beautiful voices...[clear throat] and there's few male singers that 'Catch my Ear'. Today its about the smoothness and the levels that these voices can get to. I am referring to J.C Chasez' voice from *NSYNC and Chuy's voice, the vocalist for the spanish pop group Reik. I believe these guys are brothers from another mother becuase they have the 'same' silky, beautiful Voice! One has more layers to his voice but nonetheless, they are both UNIQUE beautiful vocals. I think that is so weird, don't you? There was a time I felt J.C had the silkiest voice ever, the smoothness and curviness of it, just special. But now, I Love me some Reik, and every time I hear this guy Chuy sing, it melts my earbuds. He is a master and is so effortless, so I wonder if the 2 have met or know of each other. If you wanna check this out further, I would recommend picking a ballad from *NSYNC maybe like 'For the Girl who has Everything' or 'This I Promise You' and from Reik you can listen to a ballad like 'Noviembre Sin Ti' or a fun pop song like 'Inolvidable' which is a personal fave. The voices are impecable so regardless of what you choose to listen to from these guys, you will GET IT! the end.

And these are current pictures of these young men, because their looks as we all know were yesterdays news!

#Blondehairdontcare
So, I have been pondering... the worlds most famous question...Should I go blonde? Not me, but YOU! Although I just LOVE Blonde/BLEACHED hair, I have to admit that it may not have the same effect on Everyone, and that sometimes we need to tone it down. Also, you might have noticed that when done right, The Blonde can lighten up the area it surrounds...the face, in a Wonderful way! You appear to be glowing...more of a natural beauty and you begin coordinating your wardrobe to fit the blonde, even the makeup changes for the ladies. I just LOVE Blonde, it is such an esteem booster. If you have not tried it, you Def need to get with it! Now we also have the excuse of the ombre hair and really any kind of root is accepatable, so I fit in that category and I LOVE my hair and I'm still debating on what I should do next with this dilemma. That's neither here nor there because I started to think: What about the guys, the Hombres? One thing I have admired from the Korean culture is their fashion sense and more importantly, their hair department. They experiment with cuts and color, they style their hair and it's Amazing how terribly great it looks! I have to say im a huge fan of crazy hair or no hair at all! And about dyed/bleached hair on the gentleman, I Love that Confidence. Watching the World Cup-Brasil instantly brings personal styles as something to notice. These guys travel the world and are just trying to be different and you see many a types of haircuts and styles and hair dye. I was thinking, you gents need to get on with the bleach look. It will only help you, You have to do the rest. I took the time to compare the looks I have been witness to, these are my Favorite Male Celebs who have made the change to blonde, and I bet you will not disagree with me. My husbands' Next on the BlondeWagon.
FIGHT NIGHT:
COTTO VS MARTINEZ
I am Super Excited to attend this Event!! You know... at my parents house in front of the big screen T.V. and having a great time with other boxing enthusiast in the family..... But on a more serious note, this is actually a pretty interesting match-up. After watching the 24/7 series on HBO, I gotta say that once again I'm mentally invested in these guys lives'. Can you guess who I am expecting to have the W at the end of the Night? Well, in case you don't know , Heres the deal: Sergio Martinez is not a fan of Miguel Cotto because he [Cotto] is a DIVA....the business contract terms & demands are Ridiculous to Martinez, and he does not understand why Cotto;the non-champion, has that privilege to make demands when he [Martinez] is Champion. Honestly, he has a valid point because as champion you should be able to make the calls,You've earned it but that is the business of it right? Miguel Cotto is a Superstar in this Arena, Madison Square Garden where the Boxing will take place. He has there the biggest reason why he's the Boss: A Huge Puertorican following! Boricua! This is why, Ladies and Gentlemen, Cotto can call the Shots. He is the boxer that is making this fight, selling the tickets, this is his turf now. In a somewhat fair world it WOULD be the other way around and also, I don't mean to discredit anythin' that Cotto has accomplished because I do understand and Cotto makes the case that in the past he has had to follow terms while he was Champion going into the ring. I LOVE seein' this guy Box! He is always a Crowd Pleaser and a Genuine Guy...or so it seems anyway...to me. If you were to ask Martinez about Cotto's ingenuity, he may laugh first then disagree. He claims to have seen Cotto disrespect fans, act rude towards fans, including kids that look up to both fighters and that will Forever bother him. Nationalities always play into Boxing matches, and this one will be a battle between a Puertorican and an Argentine, the makings of a great Night in Boxing.You should definitely check FACE OFF w/ Max Kellerman below for a little tease. I'm sure you will be hooked and become one of the many watchin' this Saturday.
YIKES! I'M EXCITED!

So, i broke my phone right...
Well I broke the screen, but then Yes....okay the phone broke, stopped workin', ZERO, ZAPPO, NADA! But lemee tell you, in the beginning it was bad, it looked bad, but it worked. I have to mention I did not have an iPhone before but of course I always knew about the delicate screen system it had. When I finally decided to upgrade I thought, Why not the iPhone? So I tried it out and...its for Me! It's SIMPLE! HALLELUJAH! So I chose the white iPhone, you know since its Classe' and....Cool! Back to the ending, so who was I kidding here? I didn't learn my lesson and once again it fell time and time again! Then, it just gave up on me....(sad face*sad face). It was time and I had to make the drive, well technically the call. As I felt I had given up on life -DRUM ROLL- my new phone had arrived! I did look back on the moments I had with 'Gone' iPhone and the moments I lost, so I vowed to never let that happen again! I started thinking and thinking and I've been through many bejeweled cases ranging from $15-$25 but I used them for a week or so because...I just couldn't! That reason alone, had left my phone unprotected for so much time. I knew I needed something Sassy, Rubbery, White, Hip & Young! I ended up with a bulky white plastic, gray rubbery thing! Close enough huh? I have Absolutely dropped my phone on a daily basis and here we are.....still intact. Well the iPhone at least, the case has gone through several beatings. So the lesson here is: Ain't nobody got time fo' dat! Its not cute making unnecessary purchases for my carelessness, I know I could've used that money elsewhere. Does this look familiar?
