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....

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.
