Thankful to my team

This December is a milestone in my Nuskin business. I am finishing my executiveship this December, I made 4000  points and is ready to maintain 3000 points for the Japan trip. This Feb I will be in El Nido for bonding moments with my leaders, incentive trip to Utah, and soon Paris. There are a lot waiting for 2011. I am thankful for my team in helping me achieve all of this. We compliment each other thus bringing the best from each of us, I have never imagined such opportunities. I am thankful for the community in guiding me in my journey. I am committed to First world Philippines and thus committed to my success and of my leaders. This is a great month, and more great years ahead. If you are interested in attending the wealth course, please fill up this form:

Cut

All of my accesses were blocked. I am now limited again. I will praise the advancement in technology for creating such techniques on how to control but I would want to share a story that I read, it is somehow related, as per my own perspective at this moment. This is about how the inspired person was disempowered by the controls placed in his life. He was once very productive, he was inspired to perform his duty and even exceed the expectation of his peers. But then the controller comes and he was not very well in handling people, he was very strict and follows the rules and order by the book. It started a friction between the inspired and the controller. He put controls everywhere to measure productivity as what he is saying but then the output decreases, the once inspired is starting to feel all the restrictions and this led to less efficiency. With the changes in output, the consultant came and tried to look at the real problem. Trying to see the roots of the problem was a very good idea but unfortunately, his observation was on the top level only, he was not observant enough to see the story of changes took place. It was found out that the disempowered person was the cause of the problem. What a pity? How to change this story depends on whether I would allow myself to be part o this story or I will take charge. I choose freedom and I believe that I am indeed great, I am bound for success and will always be inspired no matter what.

Dreams to Reality

We have the power to make our dreams reality. It is the result of the choices we made in life. We often times give up on our dreams because reality sunk in and we give up. Often times we forgot that our reality today is the result of our choices before. We are not aware of the other options in living life better. We just accept the world as it is and do nothing. Hardly we know, we can do something in achieving a better reality.

Improve yourself. Prepare by making yourself the right person for the opportunities. You will only identify opportunities if you are familiar with how they show up or you are prepared to know the opportunity better.With this improvement, I invite you to join us in our dream for the First world Philippines, sign up in our Wealth Course Reservation Form to start your education.

My Photo shoot

Its funny that when Neri asked me regarding the Cam, it easily gave me the conclusion to be the photographer of the event. I was happy with the experience because I learned a lot with those shoot. It was my first time to use the cam at manual mode. It was funny how I do some trial in error to lower the ISO. I haven't explore the SLR since we bought it. This is one of my shot in manual mode. Its more of an achievement to be to be able to capture an image in manual mode. But then during the christening itself I can't rely completely in using manual mode, I have lots of blurry shots and I can't take the risk of not getting the shots. I put it into auto but then I did not know that the lens should also be set to auto. This means that I took pictures in auto mode at manual lens. Good thing is that I still capture clear shots. and it was at home when my brother told me that the lens should also be et to auto. It was a relief because I thought the cam was broken. We finished the event and I hope the couple will be happy with the pictures. It was fun learning a new skill. I have been fascinated by Arts and now we have a new medium.

ISD Bonding

Last Tuesday, we had lunch at Max's for the bday celebration and despedida of Intet. Earlier tonight, we had all night singing at Redbox. It was full of fun and laughing.  We are looking forward for  more fun and harmony within the team. We are looking forward for more events like this to maintain a balance life of work and play.

Project Slim

I have been wondering what to do about myself.....I feel heavy. I really think its time to shed off some pounds for a healthier me...Starting now....I am announcing to everyone that I have this project and I am serious in doing this.MORE activities and less eating will help me in my goal....I will then divert my attention in inviting other people to be my business partners...It is a more beneficial thing to do than making myself big! I am claiming that I will hit 100 lbs before Christmas...this is for the parties come December. I am excited to do so much for my 24 hours....

Starting with Myfitnesspal community

This community was referred by a friend. They have been using it to monitor their food intake and exercise, myfitnesspal. On my 1st day I did not log any exercise then I have listed all my food intake...according to my desired weight I have to maintain 1200 calories. They have a database of food and exercise where the calories that are added or deducted automatically. Its fun. I just hope I can make the habit of doing the journal. It has a psychological effect of watching what you eat so that you don't exceed the limit and that you will see improvements in your profile. It has a ticker that shows how much pound you have shed. It seems fun....

Healing mass at Our Lady of Penafrancia Parish

It was the 3rd day of Novena in our parish, Fr. Joey Faller famous for his gift of healing, was the main mass celebrant with Fr GT our parish priest and Fr. Jay his assistant priest.  We attended the mass, his homily was about family and about the Blessed Virgin Mary. The mass was followed by the healing session, first part was the procession of the Holy Eucharist and the 2nd part is the pray over. It was a blessing to attend the mass with Fr. Joey, he always reminds us that it is Christ that heals and that he is just an intercessor with the help of our Virgin Mary.

It reminds me that we are all capable of healing, we jut have to believe that we are healed by God's grace. It is also a call for us to cleanse ourself of our baggages. Issues from the past such as hatred should be forgiven to allow healing. And that it all start with acknowledgement that we need healing. Be it physically, emotional or spiritual. Try to assess yourself..it helps lighten up the load.

My ideal weight

In my previous blogs...I mentioned about focusing in ideal weight....last night, I am 60.2 kg....way out of my ideal weight....with this i need strategies to get back in shape....take note that its quite hard to make this public. I am thinking of adding up physical activities. I actually have 2 options, first is to enroll in a gym to give me a little push to give value to my membership fee....this will allow me to do regular cardio amidst the changing weather. The 2nd option is to commit to run/jog daily in a nearby park. It is cheap I am dependent on good weather and I spent less hours in the cardio. Another strategy is to improve my choices of food. This entails that I will start to choose more healthier options such as fish and veggies over red meat stuffs.This is kind a hard considering that it is much cheaper to live by eating fast food stuffs and pork...It would be fun to trim down to 50 kg or less. This will be timely for my bora trip and some party for December. With this I am committing my self to a healthier change. I hope to adapt a healthier habit soon. habit of doing more and eating healthier

My Partner

I have been missing my life with a partner and wondering where is my partner at present. Some says that they are afraid of me, I am a strong woman and often intimidate men, as perspective I am used to seeing them as unworthy. I am looking at a kind and good person. He is kind so that he might teach me see the sweetness and loving me that I often overlook. He loves travelling, this will increase my travelling locally and internationally. To support this, we have already settled a one or two business that will support our comfortable life. He is also business minded, he is a great support for me in building up my asset column. I am looking forward to meet you soon, so that you can join me and my friends in Bora

Starting my balance sheet

Since I am learning to do business by doing business, it is important to account my income and expenses. This will clearly show me whether I earn or not from my businesses. And the good news is....it started half of august and did earn some from my retailing. I am glad that I have been religiously doing this for almost 3 weeks....soon I will include my personal expense to see the actual cash flow. By doing this exercise, I will be more familiar with the accounting terms and will soon easily read Financial statements of any business. This will help me in the future to Identify a good company to invest for stocks. This is part of my financial education and I am thankful that my mom is indeed very supportive to me....

For those interested in financial education, please sign up in our website and put my name, Mafe Pastorpide as the core team who invited you...see you soon in the community

Missing Australia

It is almost a year since we were in Darwin. I missed the people, the place, the culture. I want to go back! I will be there soon! To visit my friends and to expand my business...I am committed to my goal of 1st world Philippines. Since Darwin has a lot of Filipino population, I will be the one to expand CA2020 in this area...I believe that we will be great again soon....

one step backward two step forward

It was all in the news around the globe of what had happened in the Manila, Philippines last August 23, 2010. It is indeed a not so good story, a drama where all of the people watched as if watching a live teleserye. But after what had happened, I invite everyone to look beyond the incident. Stop empathizing and having depression. This is part of life but then we always have a choice. We can remain in the shadow of what had happened and point fingers on whose to blame or we can start assessing what really happened, looking beyond on the persons but assessing the process to create a corrective and preventive actions. This one is indeed a failure for our country but the good thing is that it gives us lessons that if learn and live by will lead us to greatness soon. We can look at this as a mistake perspective and we can also take this as an opportunity for improvement. It depends on whose side you want to look at. With this I encourage everyone to look at the brighter side of what had happened. Let us look beyond the tragedy and try to hear the messages that it tell us. This is something personal and may vary, I invite everyone to participate in stating the things that you learned and the actions that you will do in response to it. Soon our country will prosper again. It all start with a thought soon will be manifested as feelings then actions until we see the results. Let us be hopeful for our country and our Future!

Practicing Money Management

Accoding to Robert Kiyosaki, having money is not the answer to our financial problem it is in having the knowledge to manage our income. I am a middle class professional and I can say that I am paid well as compared to the common work force but still I can feel that my salary is not enough. After hearing the rich dad poor dad several times, I came to realize what he was saying that it was greed and fear that take over me. My lifestyle went up as my income increases. At first I have my savings but soon I spend it all and now I have less savings. However I have been doing small businesses since last year and I can see that I do earn something but still not significant. I can’t see how much I earn as profit because I am not recording my transactions. It mixes with my personal money and lost track of how much I earned. To improve my financial tracking, I have initiated making records of all the transactions related to my business. With this, I am looking forward that I will appreciate my efforts even better because my results will now be visible. 2^nd that I am looking out is on how to cut my finances, checking all my needs it is almost 90%, I need to trim this down to 50% or increase my income so that my Necessities will be 50% to fully implement my money jars. At present, I am creating the habit of money jars; with my 6 coin banks…I am on my 2^nd week and am actually doing well. Soon I will be able to fully implement the money jars. For the FFA, I will now separate all the business transactions until I can see the cash flow working. I have more than enough and I can teach others on how to do it. For those who are looking for mentors…send me a message @ 09162441656

Bonding time with my mom

I am now excited for my bonding trip with my mom to singapore. It has been her dream, to go overseas for vacation. We are close but then we never bond like this. I know that this trip will be fun. We will enjoy touring singapore and will always get good deals in our shopping. We will enjoy sentosa and universal studio. We will enjoy the rides in universal studio and the food in the hawkers around. I will also meet my friends in singapore. My mom will see how great family travelling is and next year we will start with a family vacation in bohol for Daddy'd bday.

Mc Do Moments

After a long time, i realized that I missed my family in the community. I have been very quiet for quite some time and realized that I have been missing alot. It was fun to be with them, laugh with them and have some time to be with them. Being with them excites me and inspires me to be consistent. I was thankful as well for the commendation I got from angel. I am glad that I gave value to her and hopefully to some more people

raising up my energy

Eversince I was younger, I am fond of reading inspirational books and living it. At present, I am facing several issues and has difficulty in staying positive. I am noticing my diminishing energy. Awareness is indeed the first step to change. I acknowledge myself for seeing that I need to raise my energy to attract success. In my understudy this everning, I learned that what was lacking in me is my purpose. Before I joined the community, I am passive with my life. I studied Computer engineering because it was our agreement. I work hard afterwards because it is the only options that I knew. I was motivated to be one of the key persons in our team and true enough I am one. I moved on higher to try things out but then I think I lack purpose. I cannot see the value. It affects me that I am not doing well at present, I am not motivated enough to meet the standards. It opens door for me to welcome change. I am hoping that this change will be a big help to me personally and business wise. I am looking forward for my leaders, my business partners.

The world is a reflection of myself. I am confused and my results are also confusing. I can raise up my energy by making my mind clear. Clarity of my intentions, goals and dreams. I am a positive person and I add to other people's lives.

Camsur bliss

Its my bestf friend's birthday today and quite cool that I will tell you how we celebrated her birthday in advance.

I am supposed to be staying in manila for the weekends because of tight budget but then I received a very convincing message why I should go home and join Buko MS in celebrating my best friend's bday. Last sat, the plans where not yet final. My mom was really not in favor of Cagbalete because of the high tides in crossing the pacific. We ended up voting for Camsur via lancer with 7 passengers. A very impossible trip but all of us are determined to go to CWC. Em's siblings were not in favor. We were asked to go back to bring the registration papers of the car, the 2nd time we were blessed to switch with her sisterfor a more bigger transpo.

We easily arrived in SM Naga after 5 hours of drive, asking for directions for the place and at around 7 pm, we arrived at CWC. We checked first our accomodation and decided to get a Tiki and a trailer. It was a cool concept but I wish they can do something with the crawling insects. We ate dinner at the restaurant at the site. We tried the Bicolano pizza. It was good, I can still taste the cheese. I was quite disappointed with the Laing, i was actually expecting a very creamy one but I've got a dried one. Anyway, I got a brewed coffee to fight sleepiness. We are looking forward for a movie marathon. When we are in our room, we can't find the cable. We regretfully opted to sleep and prepare for tomorrow's activity.

After breakfast, we availed of an hour wake boarding fee.We have no orientation and went straight back to the beginner's lake. After several attempts we still cannot complete one cross. After an hour, one of the staff told  us that we should have tried the knee boarding first. But we are time bounded, so we decided to clean ourself for lunch. We dip for a while in the pool and off for check out. We had our lunch in Bob Marlin where food is very good. We set off back home and now my body still aches. Anyway its worth the fun.

My Leyte Adventure

Our trip to Leyte has no expectation, we arrived early in the airport to find a lot of passengers. I was also surprised that we spent an hour lining for tickets just to find out that I have no baggage allowance. It was so funny, but then it made me check my ticket for singapore and make me add the baggages. Lucky me.

We arrived very early in Tacloban but then we have to wait for the van going to southern leyte. It was a long trip, about 3 hours and then we arrived at the Cabalian. We met our host and they informed us that we will be riding motor bike (habal habal). I was a bit afraid because I am not used to in riding bikes, I actually do not know how to ride a bike. I find it fun afterwards, Usually this is the mode of transportation from Cabalian to Nava.

We rest for a while and ate lunch, our host informed us that our itenerary for the afternoon is hiking towards the hot spring. I prepared by wearing leggings. The trail is steep going down and I even fall off a cliff. Thankfully I held on the grass and branches I found. No casualty yet but almost a miss. The water in the spring is indeed hot but it is not enough for us to have a dip. We went further to the river and found a good spot. We finished our fresh buko before we get back.

The following day we set of to the falls. The water is very cold and freezing, enough to cool the heat of the day. I made some shots first before taking the dip and then we head back home after lunch.

The following day, we wake up early to hike again, this time up in the mountains. We havea good view of the area and then got back home. While trekking going down, I enjoyed the flaura and fauna found in the mountains. Got some few shots and ate rice the rest of the day. Forthe record, this is the same day that we ate 5 meals for the day, all rice and pork. We went back home and prepared for the disco. Its fascinating that the people there love to dance.

During the fiesta, we started with a mass followed by the christening of jhaika. It was quiet although this is the fiesta.

Come monday, we went to the sea for a swim with the Onita family. We were all got burned under the sun but enjoed the water much.

the following day we went back to Tacloban for our flight back home. We encontered a lot of  problems during that day but then we still choose to close the vacation as happily. i am now looking forward for my Singapore trip this July.

Delay in my commitment to change

I hardly forgot my commitment to change in my previous blog. Thanks to Jess that I noticed her comment and I was given the chance to renew my commitment. I was stuck in acknowledging myself. I cannot complete the 50 acknowledgement for myself. I guess I am still not open to acknowledging my own little successes daily. Maybe because I have no goal. I was at lost and have so many things in my mind. I am now going to a 6 days vacation, away from work from other people. I will be in Leyte with some frriends. I hope this will refresh and renew my spirit. After this I can start anew, choose good with the options that I have and start earning my success. I will update you guys after my trip.

Learning History at Home

In our breakfast table, we often chat white eating, we came into one of the reasons why my province, Quezon province is not as progressive as compared to our neighboring province. It was observed that we lack celebration for the things that needs to be remembered. One of which is that the late president Manuel Quezon lived in Lucena City formerly Baranggay Buenavista, from the Town of Tayabas in the province of Tayabas (later become Quezon province). Looking back at my history classes, none of my teachers told me this and even on books its was not told. But I believe it is our right to claim that the late president Manuel Quezon started his political career here in our province. They  said that he was once a councilor in Tayabas before he became the governor of Tayabas. I checked the wikipedia and saw that what was linked to him was Baler, Aurora only. Moving forward, I ask you to ask your parents to confirm this detail of history before its too late. It maybe our source of inspiration to move forward and be a more prosperous province.

Mentoring my Brother

Its funny that I am now practicing my mentoring skills with my younger brother. I sponsored him in a supplement business. Its like opening his eyes top the reality of life. I find it a wste of time when he spent all his summer in the province sleeping, eating and playing. He found the presentation nice and thought that it would be easy. For his 1st day he had a hard time but I do hope he can find or invite some of his friends to be his business partners. What I liked in his new group is the exposure that this can give him in advertising industry. I am looking forward for him to meet those members that are advertisement director, photographers, models and the like. This will be his future if he opted to work. None the less, the network that he can build with this people will be very helpful in him in the future. I am hoping for him to learn much from this experience. If you are interested with the business opportunity, please keep in touch with him at 09162441656, he is Lynard.

Telling the truth...

Telling the truth is an important part of discovering who you are. The truth will set as free as everyone knows this but a phrase that is hard to live by. I can still remember my younger years when I always believe that I am hiding under a Happy mask. There were times when I felt so lonely and weak but I don't want the people to see my vulnerability. It even came to a point when I don't want people seeing me crying. I don't want them to see me cry because I feel so weak. In my mind, they accepted me because I have this strong personality and showing them my vulnerability will dislike me. This is the same feeling that I felt when I failed my Electronics in College and when I failed my relationship. I diverted all my attention to projecting my composure and hiding again under the happy mask. I am happy and found a family with my team. I was given a chance to work outside of the country and I was indeed blessed in meeting all of them and having that experience. It was earlier this year that I am facing feelings of loneliness and laziness. Not the usual adventurous and eager me that I know. I study the factors, trying to identify the dillema. It was the peak of stress and I cannot handle it anymore. I then accept to myself that I am not happy. After that acceptance, the people around me notice the change in aura from a stressed weekend to a more free weekdays.

I started to let go of my look good image and is learning to be true to myself. I commit that truthfulness will always be of me and will not compromise my happiness to other people's expectation. This is my life and I will live it to the best way that I know...I commit to truth and will live by the truth.

I am now commiting myself to bring change in my life in 30 days. I will be following the book of Rhonda Britten. Will keep you posted of how i will bring the change that I need in my llife....

Gratitude makes a difference

I am in a state of stress at present. Pressure over my projects overwhelmed me over the weekends. Even its monday, my day is filled with tense and pressure. It is toiling up on me and I have to admit that I am not coping up well. I almost give up but then my mom reminds me that I am not counting my blessings. I am guilty of it and so I am now counting my blessings.

1. I am thankful that I am now a PM, I may have not dream of it before but then it has been a prestigious profession and I am thankful that I was  given a chance to learn it in FPI
2. Since I started in my new group I am learning new things, some of the things that I am not confident enough such as planning and documentation
3. I am thankful with my team leads, they have been very responsible and they exceeded my expectation when I got them.
4.I am thankful with my engineers and subcon, they have been very supportive to the team and shows commitment to our project
5. I am thankful that we were given a 1 month extension to reslove the issues in my project
6. I am thankful that I have ny tribe to help me in my business. This will be my passport for January.
7. I am thankful for the enlightenment given by Atty. nick.
8. I am thankful for selling half of my blouses, more sales to come
9. I am thankful for the big order that we have for our pins
10. I am thankul for my guest this coming wed.

There are more. I will stop with this and continue this tomorrow.

One step to change

I am tring to post this as a comment but I am unsuccessful, i hope this will still be read by a lot of people....

Personally I believe that the change that we want to see in our country should start from each and every Filipino. Because we cannot control other people but we can control ourselves. If we want change, we can stop complaining ang work on how to change our reality. We always blame the rich, the capitalist, the politicians and almost everybody for all the misfortune that we have but we can also accept it, move on and act until your reality is the change that you dream. It all starts with a dream but then we also need to act, move out of our comfort zones and rely on our self not on the government, not the foundations and not every one else. What we can expect from the president elect is to do his role at the best possible way he can but I also believe that for him to be the agent of change he has to have the will power and action to do the things that he promised and be a good leader, it means that he can lead the rest of the Filipinos to start acting responsibly, to be an asset in this community and be the change that this country needs. This is a team effort, let us all do our part.

My Obstacles will be my stepping stones

All situations have its two face and its always our choice where to look and focus our attention. When it rains, you can be happy for the soil will now be watered and all the plants in it or you could be angry because of the hard time you encountered during the rain. Same thing is in our life, we could be all day complaining about what is happening in our life, we can put our blame on everyone about our reality but we can also act on our reality to make it better and happier. I may be at the storms right now, everything seems to not falling into its right place, I even came to a point that I am thinking that I made the wong decision. But there is no turning back. I believe that there is always a purpose and that I am made a winner, I always add values to other people's lives. I may not  see it clearly at present but I believe my reality is to be the best in the things that I do.My baptism at present is like of a fire but I believe that this fire purifies me and will make me more valuable. I appreciate the learnings that I am taking, I am indeed getting out of my comfort zone, I am trying to shift from an engineer mindset to a PM mindset and soon to be a business person mindset. I admit I am having a hard time today but I know that everyday that I am learning I am improving and soon my reality will be the goals that I have. To be good at my craft and soon a business builder. My current situations seems to be the obstacles to success but victorious people see these as stepping stones to leap higher and reach the top faster. I trust in the Lord that all of these is part of his plan. Everything will come to me at the right time and that everything has its purpose. As the message that I received this morning, keep on driving until we are out of the storm, never give up. I claim that this is all for the better, I am part of a much bigger plan and that I am stronger day by day, each day closer to my success and happiness.

26 years of fun and happiness

It was my birthday yesterday. I appreciate all the greetings that I received in FB. It was really overwhelming. Although I am hoping that some special people would have greeted me but then the overwhelming attention is enough to make me felt thankful for the friendships that I have. Looking back, my 26 years started with fun being an only daughter. Then my siblings came up and I have to deal with some personal concerns. Good thing I still manage to be happy and divert my attention to my new role, the eldest sister, the 3rd parent. It was in my college days that I was given full freedom. I lived in the city alone and found a 2nd family with MITSCA. It is in that family that i grown alot. Some may not be as pleasant to remember but still I acknowledge how they changed my life for the better. Moving from college to work, I loved my team like a family. We started rough but then we overcome our differences and come to embrace the personality of each member. Then I was dispatched to Darwin and I met new friends, I am very much thankful with the opportunity given to me to learn new culture and grow even more. My emotions are tested as well and little by little I came to master my emotions. At present I am now into Create Abundance Community, My 5 months has been valuable in terms of my personal learning. I am looking forward in reaping the rewards of my hard work in my business. With the help of my community, I will enjoy Financial Freedom and bring change to the world working on a higher purpose.

Change for the better

It was in our dojo that Coach Marsel discuss the importance of Excellence in giving value. It includes presentation of oneself at its best. With this I am more convinced to change for the better. To start giving time in preparing myself for every meeting and engagement I will be going to. It will be part of being at my best at all times. I am hoping that this change will give me results in my business as well as at work and other aspects in my life. I may not be getting any younger and soon I will be preparing myself as a more matured lady, a successful member of the community and one of the biggest big business entrepreneur in the world. I can now feel the first world Philippines.

an inspiration to dream big

Convening the session several times makes it look as generic. But what I am really surprised is that everytime I give it, it differs from every person that I met. Today, I met chad and we had a good chat about life. What struct me is that I noticed I did improve and I am more confident is sharing what I know and we shared the same beliefs but still discover new things. I even inspire himto dream big, that it is possible for him to have bigger dreams and achieve it. Like me, when I started, It was like nothing, I have no dream but then, the community though me to dream again and to aim higher.

Conquering my fears

Tonight is a defying night for my project. We ahve to resolve our issue or else....I claim that tonight our issues will be resolved and this project will be close.

I love travelling

I started travelling when I entered Mapua. I once aimed to know the diffferent cities here in metro manila, the next thing I know I've been to Bulacan, Laguna and Cavite. Later on, I went to Puerto Galera and then I slowed down, I gave way to my first job. After 3 years, I started travelling, I went to Camiguin, CDO, Dumaguete, Siquijor, and thankfully I had my first out of the country travel. I went to Australia via Singapore. It was at Darwin when I seriously thought of sacrificing travelling to save the money but I was inspired by the backpackers that I have met. They indeed love travelling and they don't mind the things that they will give to travel. One of my friend worked as a farmer, and then they got lucky they landed an IT job. At first I though of pursuing this  new found love by working at my choice destination. But then, I came to know the community and they enlightened me that I can pursue travelling because my Big Business can support my desired lifestyle and that I am travellling to explore business opportunities in other countries. I dare to dream big, it all start with what I conceive in my mind. And my reality is bounded by what my mind conceive.

I will be a Big Business Entreprenuer in the Philippines and to the world. I have branches of my boutiques, restaurants and other businesses in different major cities of the world. I will be a major player in fashion, a trendsetter as well as in food business. Life has been good to me and I know that I am going to this dream.

1 year of friendship

I acknowledge the friendship that I gained in Darwin, it was a year ago when I have no idea on what will happen to me in a foreign land, far from my family, my friends and far from my usual daily routine. It helped me to see that I can really embrace change. I was glad that I can still easily make friends with the Filipinos that I met and with my coworkers. I had much fun with the 4 months that we had. I have visit some scenic views and encountered new cultures. I love the people that Ive met and I will keep them i my heart. They will always be special to me. The Darwin team, The friday drinks @ The Deck, The race day, The buffet @ Casino, The markets, The simple life, these are the things that I missed in Darwin. It is indeed a blessing that I was able to join them, I indeed attract travelling and in this trip, my friends introduce me to a world of travelling. In this I started to dream of going to different parts of the world doing the things that I love. One thing that I like as well in the community is the warm greetings of those that are jogging, walking or those that are just concerned. I miss the Wii, the cooking, the karaoke (videoke), the fishing. It was a very good experience and it teaches me that embracing change will always turn thing into something good. I am looking forward at coming back to Darwin to meet old friends and celebrate the friendships that we had

My dream

When I was young, I merely had a dream. We were not used of discussing our dreams. My family are contented at least. It started with my brother, he has a very high dreams. At first I just want to support him, that's why I need to do better. Gladly I encountered the community and they thought me how to dream again. Now I can say that I now have dreams for myself and for my family. My mom would always want to have her flower farm and her own flower shop. For my siblings, I can see them enjoying their debut at a fine hotel here in makati. For my businesses, I dreamed of having apparel business and restaurant chains. For my leisure, i will travel the Philippines inch by inch as well as the world. I can visit my friends in other countries as much as I wanted and I can invite them to the Philippines and tour them as well. We can stay in my own resort or visit known tourist destinations. I earned all of this from my skin care business  and I am very blessed in knowing the community.

Security vs Freedom

Robert Kiyosaki discussed the difference between Job Security and Freedom that we got from Financial Security. I have been thinking of this for the past months. I am weignhing things out. I am still afraid and is gaining more courage to jump off the cliff and learn how to fly

I finally cast my vote

We went to the polling precint at around 8:30 in the morning, hoping to cast our vote early. But we were surprised by the long line of people waiting for their turn to cast their vote. We chat with everyone so as not to notice the slow passing of time. After 6 hours, we  finally had our turn to vote. There are some things that I noticed in the voting process. I will share this to the world to ask for insights and I am looking forward that my simple start of review will reach the persons that can do something for process improvement. Please note that this is my observation, I have no intention of dishonoring my fellow Filipinos however, may this be a challenge for us to stand corrected and be better next time.

1. The process in handling the registration is not efficient. we registered in the polling precint and took us time to register and handed the ballot. What we  saw is that, we could have had the registration in advance while we were in the queue and when we entered the precint it will just be handling of ballots.

2. The use of marker is not a good choice. The blotting of the marker is uncontrollable, it is easier to shade using a pencil than to use marker. I was worried at first that my ballot would be rejected.

3. The process flow in voting is not efficient. There is so much idle time in waiting for your chance to vote. the bottleneck is in the registration. We thought that it would be better if the bottleneck will be in the PICOS not in the registration.

4. Having experienced 6 hours of lining up, I can say that the time to serve all the voters until 7 pm is not enough.

5. The planning that was done is not enough. It is a known fact, I hope that we learned our lessons this election. An improvement should be noticed in the next Barangay Election.

My observation is not the end, it should be the start of thinking how things will be better. You may share your thought and maybe we can come up with a solution and put it into action.

For a First world Philippines!

Another Busy day

My day started good but then I have lots of things to do after the cash flow. Some accidents happened like my dress was torn but still I was thankful for the plans that we set for this coming week. I am looking forward for my leaders that will spearhed our business in Lucena. With the help of some coaches, Lucena will prosper as well as the other towns around it. After that I left to print the buttons, it took me a while and I fell asleep in the shop. Crazy but I needed that rest. I went to the dressmaker to sew my new curtain. The curtain is a splash of color however I have some problems for the window in my room. I cannot hang it properly. I will fix it next week..maybe I just need to add some more nails for support. I also went to Divisoria to buy the wooden beads buut then its lout of stock. I just bough some alternatives for the stall and I am looking forward for the big sale.tomorrow, almost all of my family's friends will be visiting the stall and we will have 10,000 sale just for tomorrow alone and another 10000 for the elction day. It will be a big hit and I will soon open my own botique. I did the new design for the pins and I know that this will be sold out  in this coming week.

Physically I am tired but My heart is very thankful for the blessings that come my way.

This will all be worth it and I will give all the glory to my Lord.

Need some rest

I have been tired the whole day. A busy day even if I am just in the office/ I will try to use lifepack to support my busy lifestyle.

The power of declaration

I finally have my declaration:

My life is a blessing from the Lord. My purpose is to bless my family, friends and strangers around me. I am an embodiment of Christ. I preach the word ofGod by mu actions. I am kind, loving, sweet, beautiful, sexy and generous person. In return, I am an excellent receiver of love, wealth and attention. I am happy with my life and is striving to give more value to other people's lives. Everything that I need comes before me. The Lord has prepared everything for me and I simply enjoy the ride that he designed. I am a big business entrepreneur, I contribute to the First World Philippines. I can now travel to any location that I want and have helped lots of people be successful in their own way. I am continously learning and will continue to improve myself. Same way, my business will expand and provide mw and my family a comfortable, better yet a luxuriuos life.

May we be guided in attaining our successes!

Hope is essential for survival

I follow Bo’s blogs and his topic today is about Hope. I have been through some good Fridays in my life, a lot of people judged my character; they did not understood where I am coming. I almost gave up my passion but my love for them is stronger that I withstand the pain. I saw my break through just these recent, when I noticed that they were inspired by my love and support. At the start of my career in my team, I started confused with my role in the team. I hang on and do the tasks given to me. Time came when I am doing the things that I really loved and it’s not work anymore. It’s having another family for me. What I really need come before me. The Lord prepared everything for me.

 

Today I am in a crossroads, I am always confused but I am thankful to my supportive mom that she always reminds me of what is right and what is due. I am positive that soon I can reap the fruits of my labor. The community where I am actively participating now, they taught me to dream again, they gave me hope and a vehicle to attain my dreams. I know that I can do this and that I can be successful. You will see my progress each day as I update my records.

 

Goal Setting

One step to change is awareness. I have been living this life without a clear goal. I live the day as it is. I am very trusting and believe that whatever I need will come to me. As I reflect, I did have some declarations but I am not fully aware that I did declare and act on it. It worked for me for the past 25 years of my life. But now I was opened up that I might have limit myself in the past. It was not very clear for me of what I want. This sends confusion to the universe and to my results. I think I am learning this goal setting the hard way and I am positive that I will be clearer with myself everyday. At first, I just want to get richer to obtain my dreams and these dreams are not clear to me. This is my I am taking this chance to write of my dreams. I heard from Bo Sanchez about the emotional why to Fuel up my dreams. I think this is my missing link. Going back to my dreams. I can see that it is still for myself and immediate family.

I love travelling. I discovered this just last year. I love making friends with different people and knowing different culture. I am thankful to my job that they have given me the chance to see australia. I came to know other travelers and it opened my eyes that I can pursue my travelling while I am young. Back to my employment, I know that time wise it will limit me and money wise, it will not be enough especially if I opted foreign travel. This is where I met the community. It opened the doors of investing. It opened my heart to do business. To start my journey as entrepreneur now.My goal now is to transfer to quadrant B and I from E and S. In short, to establish a big business enterprise. This will give me time to travel and the excess cash to spend.

Transferring to the B quadrant is not that easy as the books that I read said. But they helped me to  have the courage to face and continue moving on. I acknowledged myself for stating this dream and I am now working on this by working on my mindset. Being in the B quadrant requires change of mind set and this needs time. My community helps me to remind me of this change. Soon I will acquire a wealthy mindset and will be on my way to financial freedom. This may take some time at first but I know that time will come when I can reap my rewards. A true person in the B quadrant knows delaying gratification. And this prize is already at hand with the help of the community.

Again, My goal is to transfer to B and I quadrant. My means is to be a team Elite in Nuskin, one of the highest paying company to its distributors. To do this, I will start at aiming to be executive this coming July. I will submit my LOI for this month and this start my journey.

Sometimes I am afraid that people might leave me because I am doing this business, But tonight, I am more confident to say that my true friends swill support me in my endeavor. They may not want to join me on my travel but I know that they will always be there for me when I need them. The same way as I am for them. I am now facing my fears and moving forward to my new passion. Travelling.

Everyday I am learning

Our goal is a First world Philippines, we can attain this by building assets using  innovative franchising then building businesses that will create passive income for us. Do you want to join un and be the solution for ou Country?

2 minds are better than 1

When I decided to clean my room after my brother started his vacation, I just cleaned the room an get back everything to its same place. Earlier this evening, my cousin helped me to rearrange my room. We transfered the bed to the other side of the room which actually gave us a big space enough to set up my table upstairs. Its cool, I now have my home office in an instant less all the mess that has been in the room for quite a while. I still have to purchase some table organizers for an organized home office look and feel but this is a good start for me.

I really appreciate the value of a team, having some helping hands to achieve the same goal.

In my bazzare business, My cousin and her friends started the idea. They got the opportunity and they offered me if I can finance them with the stall. Checking some financial issues, I agreed to them and we started buying the materials this morning. I personally assisted them in buying the materials and some items to sell in the store. All of  the items we bought has been agreed at least by 2 people. Our collaboration make our shopping experience a breeze and the whole bazarre thing will surely be a hit. I will ask again for your support, you may visit the stall in Tayabas City for the Feast of San Isidro Labrador. I am sure that all items will be sold out and that this will just be the start of my boutique business.

I am once a team player, today I am now learning on how to handle and lead a team. This is a good year for me and this the perfect time to go up.

I have a free tea latte

Its the last day of April and I lined up to get my free tea latte. I got the coupon from my planner. I am thankful for seeing the coupons. And I am thankful for having my business partners, are essential to each other and have our own roles. I am looking forward in seeing our business grows...Lets all be beautiful inside and out.

You attract what you FEAR!

I once read this phrase from Being Happy. Since then, I trained myself to focus on what I want and remove fear from my system. Since then, almost all the positive things happened in my life. When I was in college, I have 3 instances that I attracted fear. 1st is when I failed in my subject, 2nd is when I lost my significant other, 3rd is when I lost in an organizational election. This 3 clearly shows that when I focus on my fears...it grows...I just remembered this because come this election, almost everyone feared that the automation is a much easier way to cheat for the position. It sounds crazy to me because when you focus on your fears, it grows, it make you unreasonable and later on you will attract your fears. It is a mind game. Why focus on your fears when we can be grateful for the benefits that automation brings. Instead of fearing automation, we can always find means to verify correct data processing. We can always put measures to check the quality and process. Add to it that we can require logs to verify the process that the machine went through. Having records will give us the accountability of who did something in the system. In my own opinion, we are creating our own ghosts and we are so afraid. This message was understood by the universe as our expectation and will soon conspire to give what we expect.

With this let us start with being grateful for the time that we will save with the automation. How about you? Ehat are the things that you are grateful for the coming election? Let us share this with a friend and hopefully invite positive thinking to Filipino nation.

My BF (bestfriend)

I actually don't know what to write but then my bestfriend asked me to invite everyone to vote for Rachel Esquieres http://www.beautiesofcanada.com/2010/rachel.htm. This why I am posting this. For this blog, I want to tell you of our story. We are not the typical bestfriend that is always together, We both have different barkada but we have a common group, buko MS. I am really blessed to have her in my life. It is knowing that whatever happens, there is someone aside from my family that will always stand by me, understand me and support me. I can still remember when we were giving each other letters, we were from different classrooms and we will swap letters to keep ourselves updated. In our college years, we meet up whenever we can, when I went home to lucena or when she went to manila. Today, we txt and message each other in FB.

In my present life, I am quite happy with the way things are going. I am doing fine at work, I am attracting business opportunities and I know that I will be one of the best in business. My family is fine, My friends are good as well. Something that is missing is my partner. I know that he will come this year, I am not quite sure, who he will be but I know that he is kind and handsome. He knows how to manage my temper and has the confidence to tell me if Im wrong. I know the Lord is preparing something better for me...

I am opportunity magnet

This morning, my cousin informed me that there is an available stall in our town for the Mayohan festivities. She volunteered to manage the business while I finance it and guide her as well. I informed my mom of my plans and she is very supportive. She even recommended their cooperative where I can borrow for capital. I even asked my professor in feasiblity of some insights about my plans. He agreed that its a good learning experience.

Our mind is powerful and I will practice this by describing the end result.

We have registered into the Mayohan Tiange. It started last May 4 until May 16. It was a big hit, the crowd loved our products. They liked the beads that my cousin and her friends created. All their designs were sold out and is on high demands. We even accepted orders. They also loved the pin buttons. It is another business that I have with my friends. We have created some pin buttons that have the theme of souvenir. Guests and travelers were so crazy with the products. We even sent some more buttons to replenish the products. We also had some blouses whom I personally liked, they too loved it. With this success, my shop is now at hand. The business has been profitable, it brought me big bonus. My advertisements with my friends added to the volume. It was indeed a good experience. We celebrated with a thanksgiving dinner at my cousin's place and gave some to the church. I also practiced the money jars in my small business. With this good start, I earned the confidence to start some more and not long time, I am able to exceed my expenses and get out of the rat race.

Its my Choice to Play and Win the Money game

I've been in the warrior camp for the last 3 days and I missed my blogsite. It was a very good experience for me. Eye opening and humbling. I've been with CA2020 community since January. At first, I though it will just be easy as always. After almost 4 months with no results and for some things that happened. I was forced to think of my futuere plan. Even on a years time only. My first decision is to be successful in both my Work and CA whatever it takes, quitiing is not an option. But later today, I realized that this decision applies only for a short period. While my organization is still managable, I can but time will come when I will left my employment to give my full time for my business and make it successful. I found new friends as well and after a year we wil be celebrating our business success in CWC at Caramoan. I am excited for this. I also found the key for success and it is for our vision, 1st world Philippines. With this break throughs I am very well committed to attain this goal. I am ready for the challenges ahead and is sure that everything is possible, As long as i Focus on it and I am clear of the things that I want.

Practicing the Law of Attraction

I am reading this book for lunch and run about the Creative Process: It says that there are 3 simple steps: Ask Believe and Receive.

His example is something that I can relate…how to be in my perfect weight. I learned from my past readings that on whatever we focus it grows. Thus it was said in the book of “The Secret” that when you focus on loosing weight, you are at the negative side but when you focus is on your perfect way, you are attracting the positive and your true goal. For this, I will practice the Law of Attraction.

 

My perfect weight is at around 100 lbs. In that perfect weight, I can eat anything that I want and still be at my perfect weight. My body adjusts to my food intakes. In my perfect weight I am energetic to do things; I have fun dressing up myself. I love fashion and in my perfect weight I can wear all the dress\attire I want. It all fits me well. I love dressing up because the dress loves me. I have a perfect shape, tiny waist, skinny legs and arms. My abs, arms and thighs are toned right to exude that sexiness in me. I have a small face that is right for my frame. I am in my perfect weight and will always be thankful to it.

 

You can also try this, it will be fun. Told me of your story my friend.

my growing self

My day started good. woke up from a good night sleep but still sleepy and cuddle for around an hour. As I dressed up, I saw my new dress, I was saving it for some special event but decide to wear it still. It makes me feel good and more confident. My day is full of meeting and Ive got lot of praises for my attire. It gives me a realization that indeed I must improve myself with the way I present myself. It has always been the 1st impresion. It can build or break rapport and in business it is very important to build relationship. Knowing this, I will start to look better day by day. By improving my self, my business will improve because the world is a reflection of myself. Starting today, I will acknowledge my daily learnings and blessings received and update you of the changes happening to me....

I will start with Carl, for sharing his learnings in our discussion this afternoon. It helps me watch my responses. Lav, for sharing her business strategy, I will try it and hopefully find results. To Jeff, for allowing me to share my knowledge and for him sharing his ideas too. To Flow, for mentoring me since the day I joined "the community". To my mom, for checking out the itinerary for our borawan trip. To Leny for my free cheese bread and to sheng for my free ripe mango. To chevron team for a good lunch in your area. To Sarah, for her encouragement for the upcoming camp.

Pain moves us to action

I have read this from a lot of books and was reminded of this in Bo's blogs today. Pain moves us into redirection and often times it is where we should be. I am in pain for the past 2 weeks already...wondering of where should I be and what will be my path. I am still a bit in haze but at least I was a bit cleared starting Friday. I realized what I want but I should admit that I am afraid...afraid to jump off the cliff...I am challeged of creating passive income. I want to learn how to but I am limited with my time....At first I was into resignation but I know that still can't give up my active income. I must establish myself first...as in the cash flow game....my passive income should exceed my expenses. This again is one big challenge for me...I need to work double time. Take care of myself more to stay healthy and active...I will still pursue my initial plan. Iwill be good at my career, build better networks. I will be good at my business...obtain executive position and establish my stable passive income. I will have other businesses on the side to establish multiple passive income streams. Once my passive income exceeds my expenses. From there I will start focusing with my business. This will stabilize my cash flow and will help me acquire more assets that I can use to fund bigger businesses...From this success I will launch my company, make it successful and make it public.

This might look to be a long road but we are working on a system that will make this road short...I believe that this will be path. I will be a business tycoon and then I can now be a traveler.

Delayed gratification. I must learn how to save and invest, simplify my lifestyle and later I will reap the reward of opportunity of having free time and excessive cash to traveller and enjoy life to the fullest.

Pain moves me into action...how about you? what's your story?

Priorities

From the start I always lived for the extra curricular activities instead of the norms.

For some they study well because they want to excel in their studies but for me, I study well to maintain my privilege of being active in my organizations and friends. Even while working I can still live up to this lifestyle. I can also say that I have accomplished well in my corporate path as a Support Engineer. But since I transferred to becoming a PM, I think I have to adjust. My body is not coping well with the mental stress of my new position. Having the mental stress and physical stress, I am inviting sickness into my system. I have lots of activities at present…and Is currently thinking on which will come first….

my feelings at present

I am stressed.

 

From a heavy weekend, my Monday is not really a good one.

So many concerns are running in my mind and I can’t just brush off everything.

There are deadlines to meet and I am overwhelmed by all that is coming.

 

I am asking for enlightenment to guide my day, to help me identify my goal.

I am still half hearted with my current responsibilities and I want to know which path to follow.

I’ve been doing everything for the past 25 years for everyone around me.

 

I’ve been a good daughter, a responsible sister, a good student, a good officer, a good employee, a good Christian and in almost all the roles that were given to me I’ve done my best to fulfill it with my best self. Even if sometimes it was just by chance that I got there. There are times when I often say, ‘I don’t know the reason behind my choices’. It is often times a mutual decision and that I never really look inside for what I really want. I often copied what other wants for me, and luckily I do well at what they want for me.

 

For this year, I want to make a difference. I want to know myself more. To explore my inner self to decide for what I want and what I need.

With the grace of God, I will know myself better and make my own decision base on what I want.
