200 to 212 West Michigan Avenue are one building. Built in 1879 it was originally referred to as the 'Union Block.' Today many people know the building as the 'Kresge Building' because an S.S.

The admonition by the man of God to the people to always expect great things when they attend meetings like the very one they were in was an immediate catalyst as their hearts were stirred up and they were ready to “lambano” (Greek word meaning receive). Every word that came forth was received with all enthusiasm. The people were reminded that they have been blessed with ALL Spiritual blessings in Christ and that God has lavished so much love on them. The knowledge of all these boosted the faith of the people and before long, the arena became an atmosphere of miracles! The man of God could be heard saying over and over again, “the anointing is here so strong”. Glory to God!

And indeed the anointing could be felt in the arena and the shouts of joy that proceeded were delightful. The crowd could not curtail their exhilaration as diverse miracles unfolded before them. Imagine the excitement of being able to bend again after ten years of Scoliosis affliction or the relief of never having to undergo a scheduled heart transfer anymore after 25years of agony due to a terrible heart condition!

It was a heavenly experience and the testimonies were mind blowing. And for the thousands that participated at the event that night, memories of this blissful night will forever linger on for it was something that can never be erased. The irrefutable love of God has been stamped on their minds for all time and they have been changed. Halleluyah!

One of my friend and old trainee send me IM asking if SL MODELS ACADEMY is same as AVENUE MODELS ACADEMY. I was confuse and say NOPE and never heard about it. She say its strange cuz it same as your notecard and the name of whom to pay the Fee is same too.

So i ask her for a copy of notecard so i can look at it. As she drop me notecard and saw it, this is really mines, the only thing she change was ACADEMY NAME as header, title of notecard, name of Head Instructor and Fee and all other is same even the Stars on Academy Name. As i check properties i saw my name as Creator.

I inform Rusch (Avenue Models CEO) and ask whats going on, she was shocked and totally pissed off too like me so we both stay on IM till we fall down from sleep.

So all i wanted to do today was tell everyone about the wesbites that I visit either everyday other any other time. (In no specific order)

Stardoll- Okay so basically, this website lets you dress up any and every celebrity. I don't think they've missed anyone and new people get added all the time. SO basically you can create your own "doll", make a house, buy clothes with your stardollars, make sceneries and some celebrities have their own like Hilary Duff, the Olsen Twins, Aly & AJ, The Twin guys from Disney Channel, Avril Lavigne and all these other people. Yeah I just go for the dressing part.

Zwinky- Okay I don't know if anyone has every seen the commercials for these but basically it's an avatar or something and you get to dress them up and then go out into the online world of zwinky. Full of lots of stuff. Then you can chat with the othe avatars and go about your business. Just don't be stupid and give out your email, and where you live and crap. Cuz people do that all the time on Zwinky and you could be talking to a 40 year old man. I'm just sayin. I've seen it happen, not good.

Youtube- I know you all have heard this one before. But I check mine everyday. I subscribe to lots of people, especially the comedians because they can make me laugh even after the hardest of days. And I made my own account by the way. xmradio20 (I'm in no way affiliated with XM Radio in any way) I find instrumental tracks to songs and then post them. I don't make the tracks. There's also some random stuff on there. But here are the people that I love on Youtube dearly

              KevJumba- He's a college freshman and one of the funniest people ever and is humor comes naturally. He doesn't even have to try hard he just talks about his life and puts it in a humorous way.

              AvidActress007- She is a great singer and I hope that one day she makes it on Broadway or something.

              Boyce Avenue- Boyce Avenue is this boy band that's really awesome. There like a Secondhand Serenade. Check out there cd's on iTunes.

              Esmee Denters- The most subscribed person on Youtube so far. She's an ah-mazing singer who got signed by Justin Timberlake's record company.

              Etcy- Etcy or Charissa is another one of my favorite youtube singers. YOu can actually see your perform High School Musical songs at Disney World.

              FRED- FRED is my life. He makes my day everytime I watch his videos. Probably the funniest person on Youtube.

              ShellShellAnn- Her name's Shelby Ann and the funniest female on youtube ever she inspired me to make some of my funny videos.

              Sucusala- This dance crew is amazing. I think they're from Spain. They are AWESOME.

Dress Like Miley- I know this is kinda weird but I do like this site because I'm interested where Miley Cyrus actually buys her clothes. Dress Like Miley is only 1 of lots of dress like someone websites. They do a pretty good job of finding an exact match or close of enough match of clothes.

iWin- iWin has all the cool downloads for popular games like diner dash and all those other awesome games.

Okay that's all I can think of right now but I will def. put up more websites that I just can't live without.

Parece que a Diva do Pop e a Diva do Soul se deram Muito bem!

Lembrando que hoje Duffy se apresentou no programa Early Show de manhã onde cantou "Mercy" e "Warwick Avenue". Será que Rihanna viu!?

Que con ella no iría más le dije.
(Ella anduvo a mi lado hasta mi cuarto.)

Que no la abrazaría más le dije.
(Ella puso mis brazos a su espalda.)

Que no la escucharía más le dije.
(Sus palabras vertía ella en mi boca.)

Que no haría el amor a ella le dije.
Y ahora está descansando sobre mi hombro
