POINTS ON HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR LIFE

From the FB page of my friend, Faye O.

Personality:

1. Don't compare your life to others'. You have no idea what their journey is all about.

2. Don't have negative thoughts of things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment. 

3. Don't over do; keep your limits. 

4. Don't take yourself so seriously; no one else does. 

5. Don't waste your precious energy on gossip. 

6. Dream more while you are awake. 

7. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.

8. Forget issues of the past. Don't remind your partner of his/her mistakes of the past. That will ruin your present happiness.

9. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. Don't hate others.

10. Make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present. 

11. No one is in charge of your happiness except you. 

12. Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn.  Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.

13. Smile and laugh more.

14. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree. 

 

Community:

15. Call your family often

16. Each day give something good to others 

17. Forgive everyone for everything 

18. Spend time with people over the age of 70 & under the age of 6 

19. Try to make at least three people smile each day 

20. What other people think of you is none of your business 

21. Your job will not take care of you when you are sick. Your family and friends will. Stay in touch. 

 

Life:

22. Put GOD first in anything and everything that you think, say and do. 

23. GOD heals everything 

24. Do the right things 

25. However good or bad a situation is, it will change 

26. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up 

27. The best is yet to come 

28. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful 

 

29. When you awake alive in the morning, thank GOD for it 

30. If you know GOD you will always be happy. So be happy. 

 

 

While you practice all of the above, share this knowledge with the people you love, people you school with, people you play with, people you work with and people you live with. Not only will it enrich YOUR life, but also that of those around you.

Another Adventure

 

Baby number 2 : )



Sent by a good friend, Andrea:

Life is Precious 

“For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” Psalm 139:13-14

 

Why does a mom—even a dad travel hundreds of miles to be at the bedside of their daughter or daughter-in-law, as they deliver their grandbaby? When an infant enters the room in it’s mother’s arms, why do people stop, stare and adore the little one? Because life means something—it is a gift of God that reminds humans of His glory and goodness.
 
When we look at a newborn’s feet, we see the faithfulness of our Heavenly Father. When we hold their hand and count their fingers, we feel the comfort of the Holy Spirit. And when we look deep into their innocent eyes, we see the love of our Lord Jesus Christ, reminding us of His infinite existence. God’s glory glows through His divine handiwork.
 
Almighty God’s creation begins at conception where He instructs in wisdom and faithfulness. The Lord’s school of salvation is in session through nine prayerful months. The mother’s baby knows he or she is loved and cared for by Christ. And sin is aware of this holy force of faith in God, even as the life of the baby takes shape in the warm womb.
 
“Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me. Yet you desired faithfulness even in the womb; you taught me wisdom in that secret place” (Psalm 51:5-6).

Therefore—life is precious—because God says it is precious. It is precious at conception. It is precious through all three trimesters and birth. It is precious as a child learns to walk and talk. Life is precious when they go off to pre-school, learn how to read, ride a bicycle and drive a car. It is precious through dating, college and marriage. Life is precious in middle age, the golden years and death. Praise God, life is precious in the eyes of eternity.
 
So, as a child of God, praise Him for the grandeur of His glorious creation—formed in the womb and birthed with glad tidings. A spiritual life honors physical life. It’s when the spiritual life is neglected that physical life is neglected and marginalized. God-fearing people fight for the life of the unborn, the born, the handicapped, the orphaned, the diseased and the terminal. Life is precious for those who love Jesus and who are wise to His ways.

“Before I was born the LORD called me; from my mother’s womb he has spoken my name” (Isaiah 49:1b).
 
Do I value life, as the Lord values life? How can I humbly and prayerfully protect life?

Im so proud!


I got an email from Zaira's ballet teacher, Sam Gamboa:  "I strongly suggest you continue your little gifted ballerina's lessons as she grows:) she has so much potential :) a beginner won't have a form and amazing arabesque like this. if she develops more I can already imagine the ballet companies that Will go after her :) very talented kid you have :)"

Thank you teacher Sam:)

Zaira really likes ballet. She cant get tired of watching "Barbie and The Nutcracker" . We didnt push her to take ballet lessons. She was the one who told us that she wants to dance ballet. She must have gotten her insipiration from watching Angelina Ballerina.
Teacher's email makes me so proud. God has given her a wonderful talent and its as if Zaira has accomplished something on her own already .(and she is not even done with her 10 lessons yet) :)

love salmon

but it is expensive and buying it would be so out of the budget.
a few weeks ago, rustan's had a buy 1 take 1 promo for salmon and we bought 2 sets and i was inspired to make baked salmon.
It is sooo good! i could eat the entire tray!!
Just wanted to share the pic:) ( sorry we dont have a good cam, and I cant edit)



Salmon can be cooked in any way, baked, girlled or even raw..I'll eat it anytime of the day:)

Subic Adventure

I dont know why but I like the gravitational rush!:)
Carlo doesnt like it, but he is forced to. He doesnt even like roller coasters!
We went to Subic over the weekend. Carlo had an outing with his team and Zaira and I went with him.
Their outing was at Tree Top Adventure.  Since one of the agents (Rhea) wasnt able to come because she is pregnant, I got in for free, but I was being called Rhea the entire time:D
First thing we did was the Zipline:
Look at this pic - I was having fun while he was um..trying to enjoy the ride hehe

 

Second is the Tree drop Adventure:
Carlo cant take doing it so I did it for him. I was trying to scream but no voice was coming out! It was such a rush!


That was all we did there. I wanted to try some other things but we went to Ocean Adventure after.
I have always loved dolphins. Growing up , I had a collection of dolphin stuffed toys, dolphin figurines, necklaces, rings, notebooks, stickers, even an inflatable dolphin was hanging at the ceiling of my room. I dont know where it all went! My sister took over my room when I got married.
It was my first time to get close with a dolphin. Listen to Z as she says, "i dont want to hold it!" its so funny!


I like going to Subic, we go at least once a year, for either the Safari or the beach. Taking the SCTex makes it so easy to go there, it only sucks that you would need at least 1K for the toll fees. Nevertheless, I would still go back and I cant wait to try the other "stunts" at tree top adventure or go to Jungle Joe's world.
