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

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.

 

Prospect

Last night I got to watched an interview about Nicanor Perlas as one of the 2010 presidentiable candidates.

Its my first time to hear his name and heard him in an interview. As Che-Che talked about his life, I came to see that he has a chance.

I am still checking his site, http://www.nicanor-perlas.com/ , for additional information.

As I browse it I found it very interesting, I hope he is really the one to bring the change that we need to this county
