I once heard that when praying we should be specific about what we are praying for. God is being bombarded with a lot of requests the least we can do is make it easier for Him by being specific with what we are asking from Him.
That’s what I did last Thursday afternoon. I went to St. Jude Church and asked for a very specific wish. You know what? Come Friday night, it came true! Blessings poured down from above and the rain of stars made my night so much brighter and happier!
Thank You, Lord!
So next time you say a prayer and ask for something, be specific about it. The answer might not be as quick as the answer I got but it will come in His time.
Keep the faith.
Happy Sunday everyone!

My brother and his best friend have these stainless steel necklaces they found and bought online. They got it a couple of weeks ago and it became their regular accessory. You can tell that the necklace has become their signature look.
I know some guys who really love their necklaces. I had a huge crush on this guy back in high school who wore a black rubber-like necklace and a similar bracelet. If I am not mistaken, it was “in” on teens that time. It didn’t look too good on him because he was a bit serious-looking but the crush raged on. Ha-ha-ha!
I saw him on Facebook again and he still looks a bit serious but now with a generous smile. Hmm…

If you live in this side of the planet, you should always be ready for a power interruption, especially during typhoons and elections. At home, we always have stuff we would need should a power interruption takes place. Flashlights, candles, matches, a transistor radio powered by three duracell procell aa, fans and our rechargeable and battery-powered lamps. The transistor radio is a must as we can continue being ‘connected’ to the world even when a storm is raging outside. So we always make sure all lamps are recharged and new batteries are in stock.
You just never know when you’re going to need it.
I remember those summer days when power was interrupted everyday for a couple of hours. It was torture for us because it’s so hot inside the house! Good thing my grandma’s place has a veranda where we stayed and cooled ourselves until power was back.
Those were the days… It was fun for us kids because we got to stay outdoors until early evening and played to our hearts’ content. But for adults, it meant almost no work done most specially for the moms.

Roy has been a medical doctor for the past twelve years. Two of his contemporaries are now consultants in big hospitals in the city and they are encouraging him to become one. But before anything else, he wants to take up a consultant interview course first. Not all of us can be confident in an interview. Most of the time we go to an interview unprepared and expecting the worse. So instead, there’s a course for a medical doctor targeting a consultant post can take up.
One of Roy’s colleague also told him that he can take up a medical teaching course and join them in teaching other medical professionals in a school connected to a well-known hospital in the city. Roy is very much interested as he wants something new in his career. Teaching has always been an interest of him and he once did it for two summers teaching remedial classes.
If like Roy you are also interested in polishing your consultant interview preparation and medical teaching skills, go to www.MedicalInterviewsUK.co.uk and enroll. There are also medical management course and teach the teacher course for those who want to know and learn more. Go ahead and take a career shift in the medical field. Take a new path and see where it leads you.

Every single day I pray that I become a better person worthy of His love. It’s so hard to become a good person these days because of the many negative stuff floating around. But as I said, I am trying…
What I do is try to ignore the neighbors that annoy me. I try to block out the noise they make specially on weekends. I try to forget the things I hear and just mind my own business. That’s what I also tell my dad and my siblings.
I am getting a lot of negative vibes via Facebook so what I did I tried deactivating my account but I realized right away that Facebook is also a means of getting in touch with everyone so I backtracked and activated my account again. What I do now is I open my account from time to time and just browse the important stuff and then log off as soon as I can. I also stopped posting anything and leaving comments and liking posts for now. Until I can get everything straight in my mind (and heart) about some people in my account (that I can’t delete for reasons I can’t divulge).
I am very opinionated and I get angry over a lot of things happening in the government here and abroad. Instead of making myself sick with anger over stuff I have no control of, I now promise myself I will keep my cool over politics and government issues.
And lastly, I may not be as big a help as those philanthropists out there but I try to help the world in my own little ways.
What’s your daily prayer?
Happy Sunday everyone!

My friend Shen is very thoughtful. Whenever her man would go visit the Philippines, she has a little something for me, Tim and Jing. Always. I don’t know if we were able to express our gratitude the right away but we truly appreciate everything she gave us, especially as we know she doesn’t have a job yet but what little money she has from her man she uses to buy stuff she can send over. What a thoughtful friend!
So as a little something for her in return, whenever I see stuff that I can give to her, I also make sure to get it. Or whenever I come across things she can use where she is now, like the old navy coupons that I saw online, I make sure to tell her. She and her man go to Old Navy from time to time so I know she can use the coupons.
I am really thankful that we managed to stay as friends even during those times we were so busy living our own lives and not minding each other much. She is one friend I know I have until we are gray and old and wrinkled.
