Anywayyyy....

Every day can be a beautiful day. Just take a look around you and think about
all of the wonderful things you have to be thankful for... the sunshine, roses,
laughter, close friends, family, music, and beautiful dreams. The storm is never
half as bad as it seems. Don't let the rain ruin your day. When the dark clouds moved in,
just smile, because the good times are on the way.

An Offering Words Between God and Us:

People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuseyou of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win someunfaithful friends and some genuine enemies;
Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and sincerepeople may deceive you;
Be honest and sincere anyway.

What you spend years creatingothers could destroy overnight;
Create anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness,some may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today,will often be forgotten.
Do good anyway.

Give the best you have,and it may never be enough;
Give your best anyway.

In the final analysis,it is between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.

Guilt over Stress

We often hear about stress as a negative thing. All too often it is. Too much stress has the tendency to affect our mental, emotional and physical well-being. However, there is also a positive side to stress. The right amount of stress can motivate us, inspire us, push us to accomplish many things. Stress can bring out the productive, creative sides of us. Think of how we are sometimes stretched into growth and change by stress. I, for one, sometimes need deadlines or a good dose of stress to get things done. But sometimes, I feel a little guilty doing things that way.

Guilt, like stress, can have both a positive and negative impact on our lives. Typically, and more frequently, we associate guilt with the negative. There’s guilt by association. A guilty conscious. Guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Not guilty. Guilty as sin. Even Webster’s views guilt in negative terms:

Guilt, n. 1) a state of wrongdoing; wickedness; 2) deserving of punishment.

People often determine good and bad by the presence or absence of feelings of guilt. Each individual responds to guilt in their own way. Do they show remorse? Do they ask forgiveness? Are they sincere? Frequently, we hear of individuals who cannot live with their guilt. Some people, however, simply, do not feel guilt the same way that others do. There are always those in the news, literature, in the media, etc., who display little guilt or remorse for their actions. There are also those who use guilt to manipulate others. They may try to put us on a “guilt-trip.” They try to control our emotions in order to get their way. Some of us suffer from the manipulations of others. And some of us suffer from our own self-inflicted guilt. Sometimes this guilt can be so overwhelming and have such a negative influence on us that it impacts our day-to-day functioning and interactions with others.

Guilt, like stress, can also have positive results. Guilt can often act as our conscience and our guide. It can influence us to “Do the right thing.” It can make us realize we have behaved badly. It can make us feel remorse or sadness when we have acted in ways that hurt others. It may remind us to be good to family and friends, neighbors, strangers and the less fortunate. It can spur us to offer an apology or to make amends for our actions. It may act as a deterrent from acting one way while encouraging us to act another. It can create or foster feelings of sympathy and empathy. Guilt can actually make us better, more sensitive individuals. I don’t have to feel guilty of anything because i did not do anything that could lead to shameless actions.

Anyhow, as long as you admit it, you are an admirable person. But if you keep denying it, you should check what’s missing in the picture.

Thinking of Moving

The decision still at the hands of the company where my hubby works. I know this would be tough. I am still in battle whether to consider moving in other state wherein just less hours from my inlaws than we live now or just to stay. There's a lot to think about of too. Though it just few hours from ocean, which we all love to, somehow thinking of leaving is very hard. Not to mention of all my friends here. Nonetheless to say, it would be the best for me to get away from possible circumstances. I don't deserve to be treated this way. So i'd rather avoid this kind of situation. I will just sacrifice everything in order for all of us to get over and move on. Maybe this meant to be. For the betterment of everyone, when that time comes(well, still in process) i should be happy then. Besides i can visit still here because i have still good memories and friends that worthy to visit though.

A year ago me and my hubby were thinking of relocating in Canada, same company, though i have my bestfriend there it should be fine but we set aside the plan. Lately, we are thinking of moving to other location. Perhaps there will be lots of opportunities there. Well, let's just see then. If the economic will be in good shape in few months from now and the company will decide to officially open the other location then would be great. A friend told me, where his hubby works there occasionally, the new plant will not be operated whether early next year or within 3years. A big relief for me so we could plan ahead. We are planning to visit the place by early next month. If i like it there (as i am the one who will decide) we will transfer there. He assured me that im going to like it there.

Thinking of it now seems i'm starting missing here, he he he. I guess this is best. It's going to be hard but i have nothing to worry about. New people, new character to be with, new environment, new and new..all is new...still a plan, if he will get approved i can't say no...we have still lots to talk about..

Meantime, i am staying...he he he he he..

Ciao..

God bless people.

Random Thoughts

Wherever I am is wherever I am meant to be, whatever I am doing is whatever I am meant to be doing and whatever everyone else is doing is exactly what they are meant to be doing - this is contentment. If you do want to change where you are, or what you are doing, the first thing is to be content with wherever you are and whatever you are doing right now! Paradoxically thats what attracts opportunities and invitations to be somewhere else! Why? Because you are a living magnet, and contentment is one of your most attractive qualities. And the law of attraction says that according to your dominant thoughts so you will attract the people and circumstances into your life. Being content right now attracts the best possible future.

A free mind is a mind that is open to everything and attached to nothing. Most people spend much of their time looking for reasons to be offended. An open mind is never offended because it is free of any attachments. It is never the self that is offended but always the illusion that the self has of itself that is affected by insult! If you can really understand this, deeply grasp it?s truth, live it each day, then pain will be no more. Next time you ?feel? offended look closely within yourself at yourself and ask yourself what was offended? If you remain aware you will see that it was only an image of yourself which you had become attached to, and that image did not resonate with the image contained in the insult. If you weren't attached, if you didn't identify with the wrong image of yourself then there would be no offense taken. You would then remain free and therefore happy.

Comparing yourself with others will leave you vulnerable on three counts: you’ll either feel inferior, superior or impressed. All three of these states are dangerous because they all disregard the underlying principle of our true connection with each other - mutual love and regard, based on independently generated self-esteem. To protect yourself from this vulnerability, make sure that your attention remains turned within, towards the spiritual experience of pure pride. Staying centred in your elevated self-respect will help you remain undisturbed by others around you. Keep asking yourself, “Who am I?” “How would my spiritual personality respond to this event or person?” This will help to center you further, and allow you to enjoy the successful efforts of others.

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Whatever I do, when all is said and done, I do for or to myself. Perhaps I should think before I perform actions because after the seed of action is sown I have to reap the fruit. Moreover, I do not receive only one fruit for every seed sown, I often get a whole crop, good or bad according to the action or seed.

I cannot afford to overlook the influence that other people may have on me. It might seem like a simple everyday occurrence - my friends tell me in the strictest confidence that such and such a person is like this and does so-and-so. I listen and accept without question because of the friendship. My attitude and actions then become influenced by my friend’s words, and I find myself acting and reacting in accordance with the information fed to me. This is the negative influence of gossip in action.

If you ever find yourself defending a position or justifying anything, it means you have been defeated. It means you have not been able to accept the others point of view, or the fact that you may be wrong. Fear has conquered your mind and your heart. Your defenses are up and you are running scared. It’s not that the other person has conquered you, it’s the self-created fear that is in control. Until you can accept the other (you don’t have to agree) and you are not threatened by the other, your victories will be delayed. It’s a funny old world when true winning is accepting not resisting, when victory is found in the wisdom to stop fighting and to begin engaging.

So be it or not..

GoodLuck Brothers

Class is back and on Monday will start the regular time schedule. Though it started last week but it was not really official. It was just orientation, familiarize the place, getting to know and such…

Our youngest brother is now on his first year in high school. He goes to a catholic private school as his older brother studied high school there. It’s pretty exciting though on his part. Time flies so fast.

Our other brother is now on his first year college. Everybody were so excited with him. All of the family went to the University to accompany him for his enrollment and to look for a boarding house. Then last weekend before the class starts everybody went back to bring all his things. The University he’s going to is two hours from our place. He only goes home weekends, depends also the schedule of his classes especially he has R.O. He’s taking VetMed. So basically it will take him 6yrs studying the course.

Anyways, we are all excited with them especially to my brother in which this is the first time ever that one of the family members be away on weekdays. By the help of cellphone and computer, we’re able to communicate most of the time. My brother is very responsible and that we are so proud of him. He knows how to handle money and doesn’t like going out in the night. He loves the course and we’re diffinitely sure that he will succeed on this path. He’s on the top rank when he took the entrance exam. Even it will take few thousands for this on his monthly expenses but is worth to spend.

On weekdays only my parents and my youngest brother left at home. Good thing to know my sister’s family is not just far from the house. So they’re able to visit them time to time and if, they can have a sleepover there. I am more than happy that one of our far relative wanted to stay at our house again instead of paying in the boarding house. She is a college student also. So at least somebody can watch over my youngest bro and esp my father. Besides we can give her a little gifts by helping some chores. Otherwise the house would be so quite.

Right now, i am wishing and praying that God will protect my family, esp my brother to guide him in every way. We trust him so much and we can’t contain our happiness enough of how he was brought and raised with my parents and from his older sisters with respect.

Joven and Geecar, goodluck. Be good always. ALways remember of how we struggle to get you there. YOu almost there, just hang on and you will see the reward of your hardship. YOu both just lucky to have sisters to help you all the way no matter what as long as you both has to think that this is not for us but for your future. And always pray. We love you dearly.

Stronger than Before

Some dreams live on in time forever.
Those dreams, you want with all your heart.
And I'll do whatever it takes.
Follow through with the promise I made.
Put it all on the line.
What I hoped for at last would be mine.

If I could reach, higher.
Just for one moment touch the sky.
From that one moment in my life.
I'm gonna be stronger.
Know that I've tried my very best.
I'd put my spirit to the test.

Some days are meant to be remembered.
Those days we rise above the stars.
So I'll go the distance this time.
Seeing more the higher I climb.
That the more I believe.
All the more that this dream will be mine.

It is so comforting to know that in my new home and away from my homeland where i grew up with my, i feel so secured.

Spice Up the Night

Stop sweating the small stuff.

Don't worry about who doesn't like you, who has more, or who's doing what.

Instead, let's cherish the relationships we have with those who do love
us.Let's think about what we are doing each day to promote ourselves
mentally, physically, emotionally.
