The Last Temptation of Christ (1988)

What if Jesus Christ never died in the cross?    The Last Temptation of Christ (1988) Category: Movies Genre: Other Cool! Probably the most (unique) human portrayal of Jesus Christ  The irony that Jesus Himself was crucified when it used to be his job to make crosses for the Romans  Its deviation from the bible  The controversies in the release of this film Judas as Jesus’ trustworthy best friend.  Magdalene as Jesus' girlfriend  Jesus never giving in to Magdalene's constant seduction  You get to wonder if John the Baptist was doped or was just really weird  You get to see what if Jesus got older, got wives and got children  You get to see what Jesus’ temptations in the desert look like and how he growled at them  A sigh of relief at the last scene  Uncool-- I found the premise detached to stories of a younger Christ.  If you watched the movie, you could begin questioning why Jesus could ever ...

Mod Podging Philips

Image
I discovered an art craft technique from a friend, which makes you glue stuff on things and also serves as your sealant. I bought both the Mod Podge Matte and the Mod Podge Dimensional Magic from a store called "Deovir" in SM North. The Mod Podge Matte gives your work a smooth  Matt finish while the Dimension Magic turns your work into some kind of laminated art. I decided to give my MP3 player a revamp (since it's old anyway) using these two Mod Podge products. So here I am brushing my precious Philips Raga audio player with Mod Podge Matte. I bought a very pretty gift wrapper patterned with flowers. It seemed like a nice color to go with my small silver gadget to I cut the right size and pasted it around the mp3 player. And to top it off, I got one of my sparkly buttons to glue onto my creation. I used the Mod Podge Dimensional Magic around the border of the button to seal  it. I am having some of my creations with the Mod Podge Dimensional Ma...
