Merry Christmas, Everyone! ♥

I've been very busy for the past weeks because of my little business that's why I haven't updated this blog. Anyway, since the day that we are all waiting for is very near, let this be our outlet to give you our warm greetings.

Merry Christmas, everyone! Let us not forget that this day isn't just about the material gifts that we will receive. Instead, it is about the love and happiness that we will share with everyone. Most of all, it is all about the celebration of our Father in Heaven's birth. Remember, He is the reason why we have this season. 

And just what I have posted on my previous post, Christmas isn't Christmas without SHARING. 

Merry Christmas from us! 

May we all know the true meaning of this season and celebrate it with much love.

Let us thank God for all the blessings that we have received.

Thankyou, Lord! SO MUCH! ♥

Christmas=Sharing ♥

Yesterday was exactly 30 days before Christmas. Just like most of us, I, too, am excited for this joyful day. As much as being excited, I also can't wait to do sharing which is the true essence of this season (but it should be any moment we can). 

It was mom's last rest day of the year yesterday since December will be a "No-Restday Month" for them. To celebrate it, we attended mass then ate merienda at SM Masinag. While having a merienda, I told them not to eat much since I will be preparing our dinner. After eating, we part ways because I will be buying ingredients for our dinner.

Upon going to the supermarket, we saw this cute Christmas tree filled with stuffed toys.

Boyfriend asked if I want one. I almost hesitate until I saw this:

YES! Those bears that are hanging on the Christmas tree are from people who loves sharing. For only P100, we are given a chance to share. Upon paying, you will be given 2 stuffed toys, one for you and one will be donated. As what the lady who are in charge told us, "May stuffed toy ka na, Nakatulong ka pa!" which is true.

Instantly, I said yes to this cute stuffed toy and named it YURI.

See? The recipient, though will not know you personally, will at least know your name :)

You can personally put the toy on the tree and find the right place for it

Very true :)

 S.H.A.R.I.N.G.

BEARS OF JOY. I guess, every SM Malls has this tree. Go and share now!

Your P100 will surely go a long way :)

I always believe that you don't have to have so much for you to be able to extend help to others. In fact, those who are needy really don't need much. Whatever we share, if it is from our hearts, it is more than enough. Anyway, material things aren't just the way to share, it is sharing LOVE and HAPPINESS that is more important ♥

It's 29 days before Christmas. Before anyone else does, let me now greet you a MERRY CHRISTMAS! :)

Hello, Sweet November! ♥

My friends from facebook and followers in twitter know how I am wanting time to run fast for this month to come. Okay, November isn't my birth month, it's my brother's yet it isn't also the reason behind my rants about it -- it's just that I am expecting something good and yes, SWEET this month. 

It is All Saint's Day today and also the start of long weekend for most employees like me. I am glad that after being very busy for the past weeks, I now have the time to rest and be lazy. haha! Today, I just stayed at home with mom. My relatives who passed away are far from where we are living now so we just lighted candles and prayed for them. Mom also requested for a special mass for them.

Going back, cold wind is also here to remind us that Christmas Season is coming near. 55 days to go before the happiest day of the year! I am so excited! I hope days will run fast. I am really expecting a lot of good things this month :)

I wasn't able to post anything last month because of lots of work loads. Anyway, I'll try to write more this month.

As always, I am welcoming this month with all of my heart. 

Dear November, I know you'll be good but I am expecting you to be awesome ♥

2011: A Look Back

Before this year ends, I would like to recall on ever significant thing that happened in my life. God's gift of life has been a roller coaster ride for me. From happiness down to sadness and now, to happiness again.

The following are the highlights of my 2011:

JANUARY

• Celebrated New Year with my family - I thank God for every new year that He is giving me and my family. Whenever this day comes, I feel like there will be another life, another beginning, another challenges and another things that will come to be thankful for (both trials and blessings). I am so glad that I always have the chance to celebrate it with my family. And so, THANKYOU, LORD!

FEBRUARY

• Bid goodbye to Razelle - This month has been a though month for me and my high school friends. We lose one good friend. We were all shocked but we have nothing to do but hand it all to God who knows everything. It was hard to let go yet we all just thought that we have to be happy because she's now with our Father in heaven.

MARCH

• Celebrated my first year in Broadcore - Last year has been good for me because I was hired at work as a Web Copywriter though I am still not holding my college degree. This year, I am so blessed that I have celebrated my first year in Broadcore (together with Lileth). I am not with Broadcore now but still, I am very grateful that I have worked with them for a year and a month.

APRIL

• Paolo's Graduation - My brother's achievement is mine's achievement too! This is why I am very proud when Paolo graduated in high school. As a bonus, I was invited to be their guest speaker. I am just so happy (though a bit nervous) to inspire all the graduates with the words that I've prepared for them. With that, I felt like I am also giving my brother pieces of advice that he can use in the next stages of his life.

 

• Left Broadcore - It was just March when I celebrated my first year in Broadcore but after a month, I bid goodbye because of some matters. But I didn't felt so bad because I know that each people that I've met will always be a part of my life. Thankyou, Broadcore!

MAY

• Bid goodbye to him - It has been so hard but I now know why all these things happened. I emotionally and physically said goodbye to someone who's been with me for quite sometime but I know that it was the right thing to do. I thought of it a million times and I thank God that He helped me with thatdecision. 
• Celebrated mother's day - Mom will always be the most important person in my life next to God. I love her so much that I can give up everything for her. Every Mother's Day, me and my brother are making sure that she will feel special. I've made a special AVP for her.

JUNE

• Met my loves at Calvento Files - I met them and worked with them for just a week but it felt like I've known them for so long. I feel so comfortable with them and they made me feel they were my true sisters. I love them so and that will never change. 

• Mom's 46th Birthday - Mom's another year is always another thing to be thankful for to God. May God bless her with more years so that I will also have the more chances to make her feel how much I love her. 

• Celebrated Father's Day - We may not be able to live with Papa but we always make sure to also make him feel special during Father's Day. Not living with Papa doesn't mean we love him less. Pao and I love him as much as how me love Mama.

• Got new job - After a month of vacation and after leaving DWIZ, I got another job at the City Government of Antipolo. I thank God for another job and for another family who treated and is treating me as their family. Thankyou, Lord for my new family!

JULY

• Being so busy with my new job, I didn't had the chance to blog anything during this month but this month is Papa's month because it's his month. He celebrated his birthday. I love him so much though we're miles away!

AUGUST

• My 21st Birthday - Binata na ko! Haha! I am so glad to celebrate it with my family and friends. I felt so blessed to have gone this far in my life. I've got material gifts but the best gift that I've received was having another life to live for. THANKYOU, LORD for all the blessings that you are giving me!

SEPTEMBER

• Mama Mary's Birthday - Nothing so important have happened to me on this month but our Mother celebrated her birthday. Happy Birthday to the greatest mother of all!

OCTOBER

• Bid Farewell to Itchan - If February has been a tough month for me and my high school friends, this month has been a tough month for me and my college friends. We lose a very dear friend. But like Razelle, I lift everything to God. I will miss Itchan but in my heart, he will remain alive.

NOVEMBER

• Felt free at last - After 6 months, I felt so free, totally . I've been having a hard time during the past months but this month has been so good that I want to thank God because He made me feel that I will end this month with a big smile on my face :)

DECEMBER

• Celebrated Christmas with the City Government of Antipolo - It was my first time to celebrate Christmas with my new family. I've had a lot of fun. Simple parties were done because we can't afford to have an extravagant celebration because of what happened in Cagayan de Oro and Iligan. Happy to have them in my life :)

• Celebrated Christmas with Mom and Pao - It is always important for me to celebrate Christmas with my family. I always make sure that I will spend this day with them. 25th of December - we attended mass first then went to SM Masinag to have a simple celebration. We ate, shopped, and watched fireworks together. Oh I love to have simple celebration with them! Simple yet so meaningful. 

 

 

Today is the 30th of December and tomorrow's New Year's Eve. I am so excited to welcome another year with my arms wide open. I will welcome everything that God will give me, whether blessing or trial.

For being a good girl, I've got the following:

some gifts that I've received :)

And as I am always saying, the best thing to end the year is by saying THANKYOU! 

THANKYOU FOR ALL THE WONDERFUL THINGS THAT HAPPENED INTO MY LIFE!

P.S.

2012, I will be looking forward to rub elbows with you. I know that you will be a good year for me :)

4 Hugs for this Season :)

Let me share you this simple yet meaningful thing that I've just learned a while ago as I attended the Christmas Eve mass. The priests told everyone to give our loved ones 4 HUGS. Those hugs mean the following:

1ST HUG - Thank you.

2ND HUG - I am sorry.

3RD HUG - I forgive you.

4TH HUG - I love you.

These words are those simple words that we often forgot to tell our friends and family.These Christmas, let us not forget to let them feel how much we love them by hugging them. 

Let us give 4 hugs to all those dear persons in our lives. Aren't those words are the true meaning of Christmas? Anyway, hug aren't hard to give, right?

Say thank you because we often forget that there are lots to be thankful for in our lives. Say sorry for all the sins and shortcomings that we have done. Give forgiveness to those who hurt us. Lastly, say I LOVE YOU because above all, this is the true meaning of Christmas, GIVING LOVE.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

May we all spread love as we understand that the true essence of Christmas is not having material things on our hands but filling our hearts with gratefulness and happiness. Also, never forget that God is the reason of this celebration so give thanks to Him.

Give hug. As they say, hug is worth a thousand words :)

Godbless us all!

Hello, November! :)

It's almost a month to go before Christmas! This may be a great way to start this month:

It's been two years in a row. Let this be my motivation to start a beautiful month. 

HELLO, NOVEMBER!

Advance Merry Christmas everyone!

      xoxo

Hello, September!

It's the first day of September and I can't help but just feel happy. I can feel the happiness of the season. Everybody is looking forward for it because it is the time of giving and receiving as well. haha!

Kidding aside, since it is another season, it is another chance to renew what do something new and better. As I start this 1st day of BER months, I"ve read this very inspiring article from a Paulo Coelho's blog. By sharing this to you, I am hoping that we can apply at least half of what is written here for us to help not just the world, but ourselves as well. 

This one is entitled Top 10 Fundamentals for Changing the World

1. Change

“You must be the change you want to see in the world.”

“As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world – that is the myth of the atomic age – as in being able to remake ourselves.”

2. Control

“Nobody can hurt me without my permission.”

3. Forgiveness

“The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.”

“An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind.”

4. Action

“An ounce of practice is worth more than tons of preaching.”

5. The present moment

“I do not want to foresee the future. I am concerned with taking care of the present. God has given me no control over the moment following.”

6. Everyone is human

“I claim to be a simple individual liable to err like any other fellow mortal. I own, however, that I have humility enough to confess my errors and to retrace my steps.”

“It is unwise to be too sure of one’s own wisdom. It is healthy to be reminded that the strongest might weaken and the wisest might err.”

7. Persist

“First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.”

8. Goodness

“I look only to the good qualities of men. Not being faultless myself, I won’t presume to probe into the faults of others.”

“I suppose leadership at one time meant muscles; but today it means getting along with people.”

9. Truth

“Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.”

“Always aim at complete harmony of thought and word and deed. Always aim at purifying your thoughts and everything will be well.”

10. Development

“Constant development is the law of life, and a man who always tries to maintain his dogmas in order to appear consistent drives himself into a false position.” 

I am hoping that these at least will help a lot for us to start the season right.

Happy September 1!

Advance
