This is true. One small thing can change your mood. It can evoke either a positive or a negative reaction from you. And that’s proven as I’ve experienced (and still do experience) it so many times in my life.
Just today I was not too inspired to do stuff. But then I’ve been on Twitter for a while and inspiration came knocking in the form of an update from someone I follow. Great!

I admit it. Sometimes I really forget how good life is. How the ‘downs’ can be overcome by one single ‘up’. How so many people still genuinely care. How things can turn around if only we keep the faith and stop being impatient.
Last week was full of blessings. I need it as I have a lot of plans this summer for the house. Plans that need funds. Working doubly hard is a must so I can save enough for the plans to begin taking shape as soon as possible.
I am praying for more blessings to come.
Happy Monday everyone!

I’ve been a ball of negative energy the past few weeks. I know that the worries are turning me into the person that I am avoiding the most. No more of that. I swear, starting today, I will go back to being a person always in pursuit of the positive stuff in life.
I am praying for a positive blessings-filled week for you and me
Happy Monday!

Can I do it? Do I still have to devote for another one? I already know what it will be about. I am deciding on whether there will be enough time for it.
I think there is. I think I can. My mind is teeming with ideas and I only need to allot a portion of my time so it will come to fruition.
Happy Friday everyone!
I have music on the background whenever I work, especially during early morning. This morning I heard Need You Now by Lady Antebellum on Easy Rock 96.3 around 3 in the morning. I was suddenly wide alert! I just love the song and when it ended, I knew I had to go listen to it again. I wasn’t done listening to it yet. I went to Youtube and loaded the video. I played it three times and saw this link of a Glee episode where Rachel and Puck sang it. I loaded that video and since it was just a clip, I searched for the full song, found it and listened to it a couple of times. I saw a link of a cover done by Adele(!!!) and watched that video a couple of times as well. I alternated the three videos and I just closed the Adele cover and the Glee cover, too. I think 3 more times of the Lady Antebellum video and I’m done listening to it for the day.
That’s how I get obsessed with a song I like. And that’s how easy I get inspired. One song and it brought me so much inspiration!
Filed under Dose of Inspiration Maybe God wants me to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for the gift.
When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don’t see the one which has been opened for us.
The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch swing with, never say a word, then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you’ve ever had.
It’s true that we don’t know what we’ve got until we lose it, but it’s also true that we don’t know what we’ve been missing until it arrives.
Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they’ll love you back! Don’t expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart but if it doesn’t, be content it grew in yours.
It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.
Don’t go for looks; they can deceive Don’t go for wealth; even that fades away Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright find the one that makes your heart smile.
There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real.
Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.
May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy.
Always put yourself in the other’s shoes If you feel that it hurts you, it will probably hurt the other person too.
The happiest people don’t necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along the way.
Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives.
The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past, you can’t get on well in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.
When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you’re the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.
Happy mid-week everyone!

I am now using my very own brand new HP Compaq Presario. I bought it yesterday at a discounted price. I’ve been wanting to get a new laptop for quite some time now but since I have my priorities to fund, I kept setting it aside. Finally, a few days ago, I was able to save enough to get me a new laptop that my mind and hands are yearning for.
I am in love with this new laptop! I am digging it more and more. I know I will be able to write millions of articles and creatives using this gadget and I will earn more because of this.
Yes, I am claiming it!
Happy blogging everyone!
July is here! How time flies ano? It’s now the second half of 2011. How are you doing so far?
There were a bit of not-so-good stuff that made me worry a lot. But well, as always, it turned out to be nothing but me being a worry wart! It actually boiled down to my insecurities regarding my health and my finances. I have planned some things to take off those insecurities I have.
I am praying work will pick up again. And for that one thing I am praying to come into fruition.
Happy weekend everyone!

When I feel burdened by so many things, weighed down by the mountain of worries I carry around, I find myself having a quiet time with Him.
I talk to Him whenever, wherever. It doesn’t matter if I am in a crowded place. I talk to Him like He’s with me, only in my head. No, I don’t mouth the words, of course. But in my head, I talk to Him about all the things I couldn’t tell others. I rant and rave and complain and give thanks.
You know what? This eases the burden I feel, lessens the worries I carry around with me. I believe that giving up everything to Him, letting Him steer the wheel, is the key to a lighter ‘load’ in life.
I worry a lot. I pray but I still worry. My only excuse for this poor habit of mine is being human. My faith is strong but it has some holes that let in the worry from time to time. I am doing my best to close the holes. But I am not perfect. Who is, anyway?
Try having a quiet time with Him. Now, if you must. And feel your heart become lighter with each passing minute…
Filed under Dose of Inspiration I have so many plans for this year. I think I’ve written about it in the end of 2010 and beginning of 2011. One of my plans is to lose weight. I know. I know. You are tired of reading about this. Don’t worry, you are not alone. I am tired of hearing about it from myself, too! I’ve been telling myself and everyone around me that I will lose weight. It’s been years and instead of losing, I am gaining unwanted pounds.
The key to my ultimate weight loss is rice. Actually, NO rice! I eat a lot because there’s rice. If there’s no rice in my meals, I won’t be eating as much.
I will make this promise now.
I swear by March 1st I will cut my rice to half. I cup of rice for lunch and half cup of rice for dinner. I will endure the hunger pains. I will turn my back on the desire to eat more.
Then on June 1st, NO more rice for me! That’s my vow.
I need to impose this on myself so that I will lose weight. And so that before I reach my 35th birthday, I will be living a healthy life.
I need an incentive so that I will be motivated to work harder. An out-of-town trip. A new gadget. Dozens of new books! Something. Anything.
My sister will be attending an out-of-town wedding this April. I told her that she can bring us along and then we can make it a summer vacation for the family. We can go to a nearby beach and also explore the tourist spots in the area. We are already excited at the prospect! Of course, an out-of-town trip with the family would mean cash to be set aside for it. My brother will be taking up his electives this summer and I will be preparing for his 4th year in college tuition fees this coming June.
That’s my motivation now. Work harder to earn more. My incentive would be the out-of-town trip with the family. I am praying for more blessings to come in today and the weeks to come…
Filed under Dose of Inspiration I am trying so hard to become the positive person I want to be. I grew up a negative person. I could easily get depressed over a small worry. I still worry a lot but not to the point I’d get depressed about it. I also only saw the negative in things around me. These days, I try to see only the positive even in the not so good things that happen to me and my love ones.
I am trying to be this good for my family. I want to set a good example so that they’d see being positive is better. And Godly.
