First Impressions

This words reminded me how easy it is to make wrong first judgments. Based on incomplete or inaccurate information, we can jump to wrong conclusions and make poor value judgments about people and situations. And that can cause great hurt to others.

Speaking to people who had misjudged Him, Jesus warned, "Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment. We need to be careful that our judgments are backed up by the right information the truth and the right attitude the compassion of Christ.

Don't judge too quickly what you see. Treat lightly first impressions. Misunderstandings multiply without right information.

Appreciation of Hard Work

Statistics show that half of employees switch jobs to gain more recognition. Showing your employees a little appreciation can go a long way. Gallup found that employees, who receive praise, perform better. The below listing of employee appreciation messages have been used by others to provide additional encouragement and appreciation for their employees. To become easier to execute, changes become easier to implement and problems become easier to solve.

From time to time, small verbal gestures of appreciation do a lot to motivate and boost the morale of employees. As an employer, show your appreciation by sending a thank you message to your employees. Good work on the completed project! Our client was pleased; and that was because of your commendable idea! 

Affordable Instrument

One of the most unique instruments right now especially keyboards is called yamaha ypt-240. This instrument is a versatile range of sounds and the functions are good.  The musicians inspired to use this kind of instruments and the sounds are great. This is the ideal musical instrument for people especially if you loved music.   I will recommend my friends and relatives to buy this kind of instruments because aside this is a good quality, this is also affordable to buy.  

God's Hand of Blessing

In the midst of the Lord 's Prayer are these familiar words: "Give us this day our daily bread". They remind us that we are dependent on God for everything, and He is the giver of every blessing. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights.

Some people say, "Why should I pray for my daily bread? I can take care of my own needs. If it weren't for God's love and grace, you wouldn't have anything. We need to pray this prayer everyday, because we need to be reminded to trust God in everything.

This prayer reminds us also of Jesus words "I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger. Thank God for all His gifts especially Christ, the greatest gift of all.

The Sun Still Shining

Everyone of us has different problems that we encountered in our lives. Without the clouds we wouldn't be shielded from the burning sun. Without the clouds there would be no lavish sunsets, no beneficial rain, no beautiful landscapes.

The same is true with life's clouds. When hard times come we easily get discouraged. But behind the clouds God is still present, and can even use them to water our souls with unexpected blessings.

Each of us experiences clouds in life sometimes slight, but sometimes dark and frightening. Whatever clouds we face today, ask Jesus, the light of the world, to help you look behind the cloud to see His glory and His plans for us.

Love We Can Trust

Perhaps the most painful statement a person can hear is , "I don't love you anymore". Those worda end relationships, break hearts, and shatter dreams. Often, people who have been betrayed guard themselves against future paim by deciding not to trust anyone's love again. That settled conviction may even include the love of God.

The remarkable thing about God's love for us in His promise that it will never end. A person may now vow to love us forever yet fail to keep that promise, but God's love remains steadfast and sure. He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you. That's love we can trust.

Walk With God

For many years I have sought to walk with God every day.  What a joy it is to wake up in the morning and know He is with me, no matter what the day has in store.  What a joy it is too look back in the evening and be able to thank Him for His faithfulness and to experience His peace. What a joy it is to know that some day soon the burdens of this life will be over and I will awaken in His presence!

When I think about God's love I tend to dwell upon all the good things He has done for me. But then I must stop and realize that even when circumstances have been hand or the way unclear, God has still surrounder me with His love. God's love is just as real and just as powerful in the darkness as it is in the light. And that is why we can have hope! Every day I turn to the Bible to give me strength and wisdom for the day and hope for the future.

Its words have seen me through good times and bad through times of happiness and grief, health and sickness, victory and disappointment. God's Word can do the same for you.

Well-Chosen Words

I did not come with excellence of speech or of wisdom declaring to you the testimony of God.

The words we speak may indicate a heart that's filled with pride; But Godly self-control displays the spirit's work inside.

As we grow in our understanding of God's Word, let's follow Paul's example and guard against parading knowledge for knowledge's sake.  Instead, let's use well-chosen words that build up and encourage others.

Safe Room

The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it ans are safe.

It's often easier to trust in what our eyes can see, But God asks us to look to Him for our security.

In some homes, owners have built safe rooms - special places where they can go for protection should someone break into the house.

Wealth may not be your particular "safe room". You might tend to run instead to something or someone else when adversity comes.  But we all need to learn to depend daily on the Lord and find a high point of safety in the safe room of His name.

Fall In Love

Have you ever fall in love? Ever cared about someone special? Ever felt like there’s nothing happier than being with this person? Not waste even a single moment with him. Cherish and joy those times together? Along the journey of love, you’ll experience lots of things. You’ll discover lots of reason to even love this special person in your life. And not just hat, also be prepared for change.  Be prepared that there’s no permanent in this world.  And that people does change too. Be prepared that it may not be always happiness; you’ll experience tough times where the so called love is being tested by the ONE who created it, God.  Until when you can hold on?  How long can you be patient? How many times do you have to forgive? Are you up for His challenge?  Will you fight for it?  See there’s no perfect relationship.  It just takes two brave and committed humans to last in LOVE.  

Some people say that it’s easy to fall in love, but hard to stay in love.  Easy in the sense that feelings are shown; love is being given in return; Hard in the sense that you get to know the person deeply, the character and what kind of person he/she really is.  They may unintentionally hurt you; even destroy you and your whole being.  But it’s a matter of accepting, forgiving, and analysing if it’s still worth fighting for.  I;ve been there, done that.  I’ve felt every possible pain you can imagine.  And every time I’m in that moment, it feels as if its my first time.  

Not knowing what to do, how to react, and how to deal with it.  Pains is the last things I’d like to feel.  For me it’s disappointing, make me weak and makes me ask myself: “what’s wrong with me? What’s missing? What more can I give if it was my best?”.  It really hurts so bad, I swear.  It’s something that I don’t wanna feel ever so often. No please not me.  

As far as I know, even if I’m not perfect, I love with all my heart.  I commit my loyalty and trust to that person.  But see, if you were taken for granted that’s where pain comes in.  Because I expect.  If a person is in a relationship, in my opinion he/she the right to expect for the love to be given back.  Nothing’s free in the real world.  Well, if some people only has a choice to love someone who they love, then that person now has the right to expect too.  People will always be human, feel and act like human.  You really can’t dictate heart.  Because it beats on its own.  It has its own life.  Let it be, Let it show you on its own little way.  Just like your partner.  He has his own life and the world does not only revolve around you.  Let him breath.  Give him space.  Let him show you his own way of loving you .  You don’t have to ask.  Give him a chance, let him be.  He will, if he really wants to.

I'm just ME

I'm not perfect, I'm me.  I've made bad decisions and wrong choices, but I'm me.  I've said the wrong things; I've said the right things, because I am me.  I don't like everything I've done, but I did it because I'm me.  I've loved the wrong people and trusted the wrong people and I'm still me.  If I had  chance to start again, I wouldn't change a thing.  Why? Because I'm me. There are a lot of good things about me; you just need to look past the imperfections to see what's right. If you can't do that them it's your loss.  I'm the best I can be.  I am ME!

A Note from a Mother

I gave birth to you, but you came with no instructions. All I knew was that I loved you long before I saw you. I know I made some mistakes and for that, I am sorry, but I was doing the best I could with what I knew.  Everything I did for you, I did from love.  You are my child, my life, my dreams for tomorrow.  I will always LOVE you and there is nothing that could ever destroy my love for you.

My Gift

My brother Jecjec requested me to buy him a guitar because the guitar that he used right now is very old.  I bought his guitar when he was high school.  I told him that I promised that I buy your guitar this coming December when I got my Christmas bonus, I buy a guitar for him the name is zakk wylde guitar.  This kind of guitar is affordable and nice to use. I will tell my friends to buy this kind of guitar to their relatives.

It Can Cure Pain

When I visited my father last 9 October 2016 in his house, he told me that he suffered pain of his legs and this kind of pain is an arthritis. Every time when he stand up and walked he can’t control the pain that he suffered right now.  I told him don’t worry I will buy a medicine for you to take and the name is m365, this kind of medicine is very effective and especially affordable.  This kind of medicine I will recommend this to my officemate and friends because it can cure and treatment of back pain, pain, rheumatoid arthritis.

Durian Yummy Fruit!!

The durian is becoming more and more an expensive fruit, even in the Philippines.  Not so long time ago, you could buy in Davao City, the capital of Mindanao.  Southern Mindanao is considered the “durian republic” in the Philippines.  The durian fruit-tree is widely spread through Southeast Asia particularly in Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia. It is also an important crop in Vietnam and Myanmar.  In the Philippines, the durian-tree grows almost exclusive on Mindanao.  In the rest of the country the trees are few.

Durian is famous for its odor.  The opinion about the qualities of that odor are quite opposite! Most Asian people say that the odor of the durian can be compared to a perfume.  Other people especially foreigners, say that the fruit, when the skin of the fruit is opened.

High School Life

My school days were not a bundle of laughs. I went to rather strict girls’ grammar school in the 90s, where the often ferocious teachers wore tweeds, brogues, and stiff, grim hairstyles with the occasional grey sausage curls. I did have some best friends, but not in the main. 

I find it impossible to say what the “happiest days of my life” were, since I know that perspective on the past is impossibly distorted by the present, and that the span of time is so great and the complications so numerous, it makes even making a guess an activity verging on the spurious.

School days for me were like the rest of my life since, a mixture of the pleasurable and the torturous. The pleasurable parts are easy enough to identify – the commonality of being part of a group, the simple fun of being young, advertised by the precocious girls of the fifth and sixth forms.

I am A Practical Mom

Are you a pratical mom like me? Well I know some of you are practical Mom.  Mostly nowadays,prices are getting higher and higher..  And because of that I wanted to show you
 guy's my finds,this christmas..  As you all know that I am in a very tight budget.  And since I just receive my salary,we headed to buy for our stocks at home.  I bought sometimes my basic needs in my family has a discount items.  It can help our monthly budget and can save a little bit money.  That's why I but in a reasonable price items..

For me it is not bad at all.

Favorite Song

I like this song IKAW. I sang this song during my 40th Birthday last year. I'm hoping that you like this song.

Here's the Lyrics.  But sorry the video is not totally done.\

[Verse 1]
Sa pagpatak ng bawat oras ay ikaw
Ang iniisip-isip ko hindi ko mahinto pintig ng puso
Ikaw ang pinangarap-ngarap ko
Simula ng matanto na balang araw iibig ang puso

[Chorus]
Ikaw ang pag-ibig na hinintay
Puso ay nalumbay ng kay tagal
Ngunit ngayo'y nandito na
Ikaw, ikaw ang pag-ibig na binigay
Sa akin ng may kapal biyaya ka sa buhay ko
Ligaya't pag-ibig ko'y ikaw

[Verse 2]
Humihinto sa bawat oras ng tagpo
Ang pag-ikot ng mundo ngumingiti ng kusa aking puso
Pagka't nasagot na ang tanong nag-aalala noon kung may magmamahal sa'kin ng tunay

[Chorus]
Ikaw ang pag-ibig na hinintay
Puso ay nalumbay ng kay tagal 
Ngunit ngayo'y nandito na
Ikaw, ikaw ang pag-ibig na binigay
Sa akin ng may kapal biyaya ka sa buhay ko
Ligaya't pag-ibig ko'y ikaw

At hindi pa'ko umibig ng gan'to
At nasa isip makasama ka habang buhay

[Chorus]
Ikaw ang pag-ibig na hinintay
Puso ay nalumbay ng kay tagal
Ngunit ngayo'y nandito na
Ikaw, ikaw ang pag-ibig na binigay
Sa akin ng may kapal biyaya ka sa buhay ko
Ligaya't pag-ibig ko'y ikaw

Puso ay nalumbay ng kay tagal
Ngunit ngayo'y nandito na
Ikaw, ikaw ang pag-ibig na binigay
Sa akin ng may kapal biyaya ka sa buhay ko
Ligaya't pag-ibig ko'y ikaw

Pag-ibig ko'y ikaw...

GOD Is Good

God is better than we think…
so it’s time to change the way we think about Him.

“God is Good.” More than a positive thought, theological concept, or Biblical statement—what you do with these three words defines your reality and determines your destiny.
 
In a world of fear, disease, crisis, torment, uncertainty, and hopelessness, what you believe about God’s goodness reveals how you will respond to the trials and circumstances of everyday life. Your view of God impacts everything!

We must Learn how to:

• Clearly discern the difference between the will of God and the enemy’s plans.
• Confidently pray for breakthrough, believe for miracles, and have faith for God to move, no matter what comes against you.
• Find rest in God’s unchanging character and embrace the value of mystery... even when prayers aren’t immediately answered.
• Discover God’s goodness in both Old and New Testaments.
• Encounter Jesus Christ as perfect theology—the One who reveals a good Father.
• Partner with Heaven to release supernatural solutions to a world in chaos.

Build your life on the solid foundation of God’s goodness and experience new realms of supernatural thinking that bring Heaven to Earth, changing the atmosphere around you!

Simple of Life

This morning, I got the privilege to experience or witness God's greatest creation. If you're all new to my blog, I am a working mother and every morning is quite a rush for us at home. Although I admit I wake up late (past 6am) because if I wake up by 5am my daughter would wake up too. They seem to feel me as I slowly climb off the bed. That's why I'm always in a hurry every morning that I seem not to mind or take notice of the things happening around. Like I said, this morning was kind of different. The usual stuff I wake up to but the chirping of the birds caught my senses. It was really a music to my ears and calming to my spirit. I guess there were lots of them flocked in our plants and a palm tree inside our area. Their happy voices seem to vibrate in our surroundings that I cannot help but grab my camera and record it… 

This was just a portion of what took place. They have been chirping for a long time. Their happy "noise" was like this the whole time we were preparing for our daily morning stuff. Our bathroom overlooks that palm tree outside so I had a very pleasant bath even if a hurried one because their voice soothe me. Though it was simple as that, it was a happy moment for me. I was full of gratitude and overwhelmed of that gift to witness God's presence first thing in the morning thru these wonderful creatures. I am amazed, humbled and thankful.

Love Yourself

No one is going to love you exactly like you imagine. No one is ever going to read your mind and take every star from the sky at the perfect time and hand it to you. No one is going to show up at your door on a horse, with a shoe you lost. Do you understand? That's why you have to love yourself enough, so that any other love just adds more candles to the cake you've already iced. 

This is powerful. Take a moment to think about this... When you were missing self love in your life did you allow other people into your life that did not have love for you? Are you in that situation currently? We really do accept what we think we deserve and I wanted to start the day by telling you that you are lovable. You are worthy of great things, a kind loving partner, a happy healthy lifestyle, and a loving relationship with yourself.

The more you love yourself, the less nonsense you'll tolerate.

Health is Wealth

Exercise is the most daily routine to a healthy lifestyle, It can prevent in our body to sickness. Especially exercise is good for our heart.  It's well-known that fatty foods, smoking and inactivity are risk factors for heart disease. 

We need to exercise daily so that are life will be Just as exercise strengthens other muscles in your body, it helps your heart muscle become more efficient and better able to pump blood throughout your body. This means that the heart pushes out more blood with each beat, allowing it to beat slower and keep your blood pressure under control.

When you exercise regularly, your body's tissue (including the heart) does a better job of pulling oxygen from your blood. This allows your heart to work better under stress and keeps you from getting winded during high-intensity activities.

Weekend is the Best

Finally, the weekend is here. After a horrible week I plan on chilling the whole weekend at home doing nothing, enjoying the silence and preparing for next week. The weather is going to be totally crappy anyway ... I'll have more time for my blog then, so prepare for some serious posts ;)

In the meantime, enjoy this awesome remix of an awesome song! 

Best Uses of the New Facebook Profile

The new profile allows combos! And combos allow combo-breakers. So apparently facebook is stealing ideas from other sites, but come to think of it, it is nothing new, as its whole existance is based on other people's ideas. Here are some nice combos, before they've been broken. Hope to see a slowpoke soon!

Free of Abdominal Pain

Last 27 May 2013 during my 39th Birthday, I was operated total hysterectomy. That day all the pains that I suffered for almost 15 years was gone.  And I'm thankful to God that HE provide all my financial needs.  And the most of all, I'm thankful to HIM because three years before I was operated, He gave me a child.

I'm very thankful that my operation is successful.. Right now, I have no pains that I suffered every minute..

My Best Friends Wedding

This song is the song that I've sung in my best friends wedding. She requested me to sing this song because it can reflect of her life story.  There'a a man who came into her life that save her life now.  And she thankful to the Lord that this man gave her.

YOU MADE ME LIVE AGAIN\

I was down and out and feelin' so low

You took my hand and eased my mind

I was astray you showed me the way

And now I finally found my home in you

I still recall the times I've been through

Confused and I didn't know what to do

I almost gave up but you gave me hope

You've made me strong as the days went on

You made me live again

I was lost in the dark

With my lonely, broken heart

Then you came along

You took me home

And made me your own

You were always there to lend a helping hand

When good friends were hard to find

When things went wrong you made them right

You've made my days so bright

You made me live again

I was lost in the dark

With my lonely, broken heart

Then you came along

You took me home

And made me your own

Now look at me

Yes, a different me

Back on my feet again

I'm not afraid to face the world again

'Cause you taught me how to be strong

You made me live again

You made me live again

My Daughter

My daughter is a treasure, a blessing from God above.  She gives laughter, warmth and has a special charm about her. As you grow into a woman, you fill my heart with pride. Through every stage and every age I love you more and more. I am so happy that I can love you and cherish you as my daughter. You are more than I could have ever hoped for, and I am truly blessed!                              

There is nothing more rewarding in life than watching your daughter grow into such an inspirational, compassionate, and dedicated woman.  Life rarely gets you down, but when it does, you brush yourself off and get right back up again, and that is something to be proud of.  Not all parents are able to feel the pride I feel when I think of you.  You are an amazing woman and daughter, and I love you!

As a daughter you have filled me with pride and tremendous joy. As a friend you have trusted me with your secrets and have been a shoulder for me to cry on as well. As a woman you embody strength, beauty and wit. No other parent has felt the love I feel as I watch you grow, mature, struggle, succeed, and transcend. You are a blessing to me and many others. I love you.

Watching you grow has been an adventure for me. I see you move beyond the daily grind and reach out to those you care about with such love and grace. You are a woman of strength and poise, whose heart lights the world of those it touches. You were created for a purpose and I am truly blessed to call you my daughter.

Take Care of our Kids

As a mother of a one child, this is the most hardest part of our life is to take care of our child.  We must give them a good future in their lives.  We must support all their needs and the most important is the unconditional love that we gave them.  We will insure that our child is safe, we do not leave our child alone at home or to the care by elder children. Life is full of emotions that we don't have time to process in the moment.  And parenting is the hardest job there is.  Kids give us constant reminders of the places in us that need healing.  So it's not surprising that sometimes we just need a good cry.

When you were a child, you deserved to beloved and accepted, complete with all your inconvenient feelings and desires.

The most thing that we can do is to surrender to the Lord because HE is always with us to comfort.
