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…

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.

It’s better to give than to receive. You know, this concept is actually very true. The joy that you feel whenever you give something to your love one and seeing his/her happiness in receiving something from you is a precious moment that can make your heart swell with emotion…
Of course, in terms of finances, it is better to receive! Hahaha!

I just love seeing little kids praying. Our little girl here at home prays before she goes to sleep. Her prayer goes like this…
She was taught that prayer in school. She already knows how to sing Our Father and it was her favorite prayer until she learned this one.

Remember that tomorrow is a new day.
Everything will pass and we have a choice of making our tomorrow a positive one.
Happy blogging everyone!

I didn’t know a couple of years ago that there are local companies hiring disabled persons here in the country. Until I saw and met Juan for the first time. He is afflicted with a rare disease and is confined to his wheelchair. He has difficulty in speaking and has uncontrollable movements because of a muscle problem associated with his affliction. He came from a rich family but that didn’t stop him from pursuing what he wants. He is really good in IT and he’s working for the same company I used to work for.
He is such a huge inspiration to me. Whenever I think of him, strapped to his wheelchair and all, and here I am very mobile and has no difficulty in speech, it just reminds me to be thankful for what I have and to appreciate the little things.

When I feel like giving up, I just lie down and look up. I talk to Him. I do that to relieve the sadness in my heart, the fears, the worries… It’s my way of coping so that I won’t succumb to the negative energy surrounding me.
You know what? The talking does the trick. It’s like having an invisible friend listening to your rants! It’s that good!
Try it. Talk to Him. Tell him what’s in your heart and mind. And see how much relief you’d feel after.
