I've stumbled so many times... I disobeyed God... I go on my way, I became complacent in serving Him... I grew weary on my ministry...

I am absolutely and completely lost from His plans for me. But guess what, last Friday, during my close encounter with Him, it was really such a great experience! But I know it's not all about experience, it's all about the reality that after all, God still choose to forgive and love me unconditionally... What a heavenly dose of truth!

Life, just like a sentence, is expressed in different way. A sentence that ends with a question mark is somehow related to a confused life- so many questions and doubts but no definite answer. While those sentence that ends with an exclamatory point can be likened to a life that is filled with surprises. For a life that is filled with hope goes on and on just like a sentence that has so many commas. Some may be confronted with so many options just like a colon or a semi-colon. A life that is worthy of praise and adoration is just like a quote that is enclosed in a quotation marks. And for those who experienced greatly and was able to overcome all the challenges in life may have been emphasized well in the society just like the words within a parenthesis. Nevertheless, for those who seems to lose the faith and hope to continue with their life may just end it with a PERIOD.

How about you? How do you construct the sentence of your life?

just for fun...

Determination? Yes! That's the right term for hopeless- to- lose weight individual like me. I opened up the idea with my house mates to wake up early in the morning in order to shred some calories, and indeed, we were able to make it this morning. Our route was within the Limketkai ground (Starting from the rear portion of PNB Bank down to Robinson underpass). While we are on our way (we woke up a little bit late so by the time we started hiking from the boarding house it is already 5:30 in the morning), I suggested for  a brisk walking only but my two other companion insisted for jogging. And that was it! I go for brisk walking while the two went ahead of me as they jogged their way to fitness. It takes determination to realized such goal. I have so many failed attempts before. I was overcome with my laziness to pursue such goal. Mid-month this year, one of my house mates invited me to join the Aero-dance sponsored by Nestle at the Sports Center. I was very interested then but wasn't able to continue after four successive attendance. I just hope that this time, I will really stick to my goal. I felt the urge to persevere. My body told me so. I finished just one round for this morning. I have to do it gradually as my Arthritis is bugging me again.

Would you care to join with me?

Yup, thank God it's Wednesday! Time flew so fast. I am glad that  my first meeting with my students was very successful. The classes that were given to me are so far very good, dominated by well-behaved young men. I know we still have a long way to go but the first meeting last Monday and Tuesday with my Mechanical Engineering students only proves that even a spoiled brat child can be tamed. The teacher's role is indeed very challenging. It is not easy to deal with quite a number of students especially all-male. Patience and Self-control are very essentials in handling them. The way they are treated is also very significant. There might be a tendency that teachers may lost their patience but the manner of gaining it back without losing your temper is the most challenging part. Well, I just closed my fingers in prayer that this whole semester will end up smoothly with no failing marks.

Aja!

yup, today is our third anniversary...

my huggy and me.

our relationship is tested by time, pressures, struggles, and problems.

our relationship is not perfect, we both have flaws, we fight often, we misunderstood each other most of the time...

but love and God's will keeps us together...

as time goes by we learned to depend on each other, to trust one another and to hold on to each other...

For those who cannot wait for the big day, there is one thing that I want to say...

it will be sealed soon, in the right time, definitely in God's time.

Be, thanks for the l♥ve, care, patience and prayers.

I l♥ve y♥u einuj. (He is in Negros right now)

It’s been five years but the scene was still so vivid in my mind…

I can still feel the blood dripping on my cheeks down to my shoulder…

I can still hear the cry for help…

the wailing sound of pain…

the frightening siren of the ambulance…

That was it…

That was the November 2 vehicular accident that I’ve experienced five years ago…

The good thing there was that all of us survived…

An extra five years and still counting…

Something to look forward to in discovering God’s ultimate purpose in my life…

As I was contemplating on how life can be so challenging that it consumes all our patience, it made me think about those who couldn't care less about it. Sometimes, I came to a point of choosing between living carefree and living in accordance to the standard of the society (those that are said to be legal and appropriate). I am actually experiencing hollowness deep within me... I am confused once again.

There's one thing that I want to give up but I do not know how should I go about it. I am totally out of control with my life right now. I want to scream for being so dumb... for acting like a numb.

Reality bites once again that sometimes, we tend to forget ourselves and our identity. We lost composure. We forget the basic principle.

I hope and I wish to forget everything but I can't...

How I wish life is like an audio player on which it can be rewind. 

But that's not how life was made of...

The truth remains: Life is how we make it.

Guatemalan Coffee

Love coffee?

I am a certified coffee drinker, or shall I say addict? How about you? I started my day by sipping a cup of coffee (after getting up from bed) and sometimes, I ended up my day doing the same. I used to be a milk drinker but as I grew in age, I shift to coffee. I really love coffee. My Mom used to tell me that it is not good for my health, but I think otherwise. Coffee is a good source of anti-oxidant and it perks up my day. As time develops, coffee evolves from the simpler two-in-one to assorted flavored coffee. The rich aroma was still there but with a hint of flavors. Coffee shops business flourishes because the people behind it realized how coffee makes a lot of money. Here in Cagayan alone, people are excited for the opening of the newly constructed coffee shop that is said to be the first in Mindanao. It is not only local residents who are certified coffee drinkers, even foreigners loves the taste of our coffee here. I have tried native coffee as well that is made out of rice or corn and it taste good as well and with added benefits too. I  already tried capuccino, pandan coffee and other flavored coffee but there's one thing that I find so interesting- it's guatemalan coffee. Sounds new? Find more about it, right here.

No matter how busy we are, we should not forget to take a pause for awhile and pose before the camera!

Say cheese!

Trading is an art of buying and selling commodities. In the early years of civilization, we adopted the Barter System which is done by exchanging goods without involving money. As the trading system develops, it introduces the Buy and Sell system. It now involves money as an exchange for the goods being bought and sold. In this kind of trading, big capital money is needed in order to go on with the business. An entrepreneur will buy goods and then sell it for a minimum interest for profit. Big investments mean big profit if handled properly. With the booming technology we have now, it greatly affects the trading system. Buy and sell can be done via online. One of the famous buy and sell website is the AyosDito.ph. It is proudly managed by a Filipino. By the name itself, indeed it is “ayos dito” (it’s good here). As I look further into the content of the website, you have a variety of choices as to what to buy from what they are selling. The good thing about the site is that they almost have everything you need from small gadgets, bags for sale and to real properties. I was even amazed with their apartment for rent. It’s more than buy and sells business; they are also functioning well as online classified ads. Basically, AyosDito.ph is your one stop shop wherever you are in the Philippines. Their items to be sold are categorized per region so shipment is never that difficult for you. If you want to sell something, just post an ad by simply filling up their forms. By the way, I love pink, in fact I was so fascinated with the featured laptop and apartment posted at AyosDito.ph. Check it out.

I cannot contain my emotion yesterday when I read degrading comments on fb of  the ex-gf of my colleague against my board mate/room mate/colleague and close friend rolled into one (complicated huh?). Personally, I am sensitive/reactive type of person. I do not want any of my friends to be treated that way. Jealousy or rather insecurity was the main reason why the said ex-gf posted nasty comments on the wall. But she never admitted as being insecure to my friend (in contradict to what she had posted on the wall). With all those comments and reactions, I considered her so pathetic. She's gone beyond professionalism with what she did. What a mortal sin it is to look down on someone. Nobody has the right to do so. All of us must remember that we are not all perfect therefore we have no right to degrade any person for any reason.

Shalom!

Tthis coming October 26-27, 2010, there will be a two-day International Outsourcing Summit that will be held at Sofitel Philippine Plaza to be attended by top global industry executives who will debate the future of Business Process Outsourcing (BPO). I was simply amazed with how top global market leaders took time to convene and discuss about the development process in order to recover from any financial challenges that became a problem not only here in the Philippines but to other top countries as well.  This is going to be interesting because these top global market leaders will provide insights about fast-emerging, new age of offshore outsourcing that is expanding opportunities for the industry but creating new and complex challenges that will dramatically transform the industry. This will be discussed by the competent resource speakers from top companies here and abroad.

Outsourcing to the Philippines became a trend in the business industry nowadays. Many were benefited and given opportunities to be employed to work for other countries without necessarily going abroad like call centers. Here in Cagayan de Oro  alone, there is a wide job fair happening regularly for call centers which would also mean more opportunities especially for the unemployed but competent job seekers. Outsourcing does not apply to call centers only, it is also applied to online marketing which became a top pick for job seekers who loves to work right at the comfort of their home. Online marketing needs to be studied as well. These too will be discussed during the summit. Present on the summit also is the Search Profile Index (SPI),it is a service which will help companies in assessing their  current status against their competitors. SPI was launched by 4th Media, who is also the media sponsor for this upcoming activity.

MANILA, Philippines - President Aquino commended his officials yesterday for their efforts in easing the impact of typhoon “Juan” through effective implementation of disaster preparations.
“I am very happy to report to the public that everyone has delivered. The thorough preparations of all concerned agencies are in marked contrast to the official helplessness of the past, and at present, we haven’t had to ask the public to contribute outside resources,” Mr. Aquino said in a statement.

Well, Typhoon Pepeng and Ondoy were enough lessons for them to learn a lot from that experience...

I was so surprised this morning as I got an email from Ezine Article telling me that my submitted Articles made it to their meticulous scrutiny (lol!) not only that,

BRACING FOR THE WORST: Soldiers rest beside a rescue boat as the military took stock of its life-saving equipment at Camp Aguinaldo yesterday as typhoon ‘Juan’ approached northern Luzon. Right photo shows a weather forecaster monitoring the typhoon’s path. ERNIE PEÑAREDONDO/ AP

MANILA, Philippines - The nation braced for the worst as super typhoon “Juan” (international name “Megi”), packing winds of more than 250 kilometers per hour, roared toward northern Luzon last night. Read more...

Yesterday, my boss asked me to research on news about an important issuance through the Philippine Star news dated October 14, 2010. However, I cannot access to their Archives unless I will register, and so I did. I was thankful then because having been registered, I can have a daily servings of fresh news through their news updates emailed to my account. 

This morning, I received my first automated email from them. I was glad because honestly I am not really updated with the news before unless I will watch news on television. Their headline for today's news is about the predicted powerful typhoon called "Bagyong Juan" (international name: MEGI) that may hit Northern Luzon and other neighboring provinces anytime this week. Such news was really alarming and worth to be spread out so that others may know.

I was thinking then of updating this blog with daily servings of major news or headliners from them.

Let us also pray that Typhoon Megi will have a change of course away from any landmarks in or outside the Philippines. We've been through a lot last year with Ondoy and Pepeng... Let us pray that Juan will not bring any destruction. God will listen.
