I love Bro. Bo Sanchez! He is a very good preacher. I do believe he’s one of the best around. You can listen to or read his preaching about the gospel without being too preachy. Do you know what I mean?
There are preachers out there who tell you to repent because the Lord will strike you or punish you for your sins. Bro. Bo, on the other hand, preaches about every day life. He preaches about family, friends, attitude, and the power of prayers.
If you haven’t subscribed to him yet, go to www.bosanchez.ph and I guarantee that every letter he sends will impact your life in a positive way.

Blessings come in different shapes and sizes. Sometimes, it comes in a disguise. I would like to say THANKS for all the blessings, big and small, round and square, short and long.
And THANKS also for those that come wrapped in disguise.
Happy Monday and may we all have a great and productive week!
P.S. San kayo sa Valentine’s Day ha? =)

My heart goes out to those people who are struggling to make ends meet. I’ve been there so many times in the past, especially during that time when all my sisters were still in school. There were paydays when it felt like the money I earned for that pay period would just kiss my hand goodbye. There were even paydays when it wasn’t enough and I had to find a kind soul to lend me some money just to make ends meet. Those days I felt like a beggar groveling for a piece of bread.
I am really thankful that I have passed all that. Of course, there are days that I still feel unsure about the state of my finances. But it’s now manageable compared to the past.
I don’t want to ever go back to that situation where it’s always hand to mouth. I pray that whoever’s in that situation right now will find the will to continue on and surpass it. And will have a future free of worries financially.

I love this app in Facebook where you can get quotes from Paulo Coelho. Today I got this quote from him…
The best way to serve God is by going in search of your own dreams. Only the happy can spread happiness.
I believe this. You see, how can you spread positive vibes and happiness to those around you when you are full of negative energy and is depressed or sad. I think it will come out as insincere and forced, don’t you think? I try to stay positive all the time because I easily get depressed. That’s why I don’t read tragic stories as much as possible because it depresses me a lot. And I get affected easily by things I see and hear.
I smile and think positive thoughts. I watch Mr. Bean with Hazel for the simple pleasure of laughing at his silly antics. I watch cooking and travel shows a lot because it gives me positive ideas. These are the things I do to make my day happy.
What about you?

Prayers, more than the material donation, will help a lot. It was reported that there’s an incoming storm again and it might be just as bad as the previous one. Sigh.
Philippines needs your prayers. Please include us in your prayers when you say them tonight. Or even this very minute. We really need it.

- The only way to get the best of an argument is to avoid it.
- Show respect for the other person’s opinions. Never say, “You’re wrong.”
- If you are wrong, admit it quickly and emphatically.
- Begin in a friendly way.
- Get the other person saying “yes, yes” immediately.
- Let the other person do a great deal of the talking.
- Let the other person feel that the idea is his or hers.
- Try honestly to see things from the other person’s point of view.
- Be sympathetic with the other person’s ideas and desires.
- Appeal to the nobler motives.
- Dramatize your ideas.
- Throw down a challenge.

I feel like reflecting.
I am a person who’s easy to please. In fact, a delicious meal can make me happy. A good book, a cup of hot coffee, a sweet smile or a hug from Hazel, a couple of opps… even a trip to the mall with my dad and my siblings can bring me happiness. I need not have tons of money to find joy in life. I just need to have enough to give them what they need. I’d be content with that.
A good book and a cup of hot coffee makes me happy.
Anyway, I haven’t been sleeping much for days now. Working hard because it will be tuition time once again by July, which is tomorrow already. I am really tired. My head’s aching, pounding actually. But since I am doing this for the family, I know that I will find the energy to continue working harder.
I need lots of caffeine to keep me awake!
Happy Tuesday people!

Life is not about keeping score
It is not about how many friends you have
It is not about if you have plans this weekend or if you are alone.
It isn’t about who you are dating, who you used to date, how many people you’ve dated, or if you haven’t been with anyone at all.
It’s not about who your family is, or how much money they have.
Or what kind of car you drive.
It is not about where you went to school. Or whether you rub shoulders with the rich and famous
It not about how beautiful or how ugly you are.
Or what clothes you wear, what shoes you have on, or what kind of music you listen to..
It is not about if your hair is blonde, red, black or brown,
Or if your skin is too light or too dark..
It is not about what grades you get or how smart standardized tests say you are.
It’s not about what clubs you’re in, or smoking cigars and sipping cognac
It is not about how good you are at your sport.
LIFE JUST ISN’T.
But.. Life is about being real and not being fake
Life is about dignity and respect
It is about who you love and who you hurt.
It is about who you make happy or unhappy…intentionally.
It’s about keeping and betraying trust and fighting for justice
It is about courage to stand up against and not turn a blind eye to human evil
It’s about friendship, used as something holy or as a weapon.
It about what you say and mean may be hurtful, maybe heartening.
It’s about starting rumours and contributing to petty gossip.
It’s about what judgements you pass and why..
And who your judgements are spread to.
It’s about who you’ve ignored with full control and intention.
It about cowardice, jealousy, fear, ignorance, and revenge.
It’s about carrying inner hate or love.
It is about letting it grow or spreading it.
But, most of all, it is about using your life to touch or poison other people’s hearts in such a way that never
could have occurred alone.
Only YOU choose the way those hearts are affected…
And THOSE choices are… WHAT LIFE IS ALL ABOUT!
