The truth will set us free... a common adage yet still holds true up to this moment.

that face though...

Let's take the case of Senator Leila Delima. Indeed, she experienced a great dilemma in her life when she was allegedly connected in the drug trade business during her term as DOJ Secretary. I tried not to believe everything yet the evidences were there. Her former alliance turn their back on her. But of course she vehemently denied every accusation thrown at her stating that all of those accusations are part of the demolition job of the government against her. Then here comes the church meddling with the issue and getting her side ONLY. I find all her media/press conferences so scripted-trying to earn the citizen's sympathy. I wonder if she went through an audition in acting during her younger years or perhaps have joined in an acting workshop. Then here comes Trillanes who is divulging "controversies" against the President. Then lastly, the police officer that was testifying the truth about EJK existence in Davao when President Duterte was still the City Mayor.

Whoever tells the truth I could only hope that it shall prevail. And for those cases that has very reliable evidences, justice should be readily served. And if I am to be asked about Delima's case- I found her GUILTY beyond reasonable doubt. In fact, I can't wait to see her behind bars. She owe the Filipino people BIG TIME.

It's easy to hold on to feelings of anger and resentment toward someone who has treated us unfairly and hurtfully.  Most of us believe that the anger and resentment act as little inner bodyguards making sure that the same thing doesn't happen again, which forces us to replay hurtful incidents in our heads over and over again.  Surprisingly, however, nothing could be further from the truth.  Hurt, affectanger, and resentment are signs of weakness, not strength.

Forgiveness is Freeing

Believe it or not, when you release your animosity towards the person or people who hurt you, you're a lot more light hearted and relaxed.  Negative emotions have a way of tying you to a negative person, place, or thing.  When you forgive, you essentially let go of many thoughts and feelings that once had you shackled to a negative person, place, or thing.

It positively Benefits the Body

Another amazing benefit derived from forgiveness is the effect that it has on a person's overall health.  People who practice this invaluable virtue have a lower heart rate and blood pressure, as well as a more relaxed and stress-free approach to life.  This results in fewer aches and pains and a better quality of sleep.  Even if we are someone who suffers from a serious disorder that requires integrative medicine in LA, we can still heal quicker and have an overall more hopeful attitude in the face of sickness.

It Restores Happiness, Peace, and Joy

Somehow, when the mind is not shackled by the replay of old emotions, traumas, and hurts, it's free enough to experience more joy in the moment.  In other words, it awakens a sense of mindfulness, allowing us to enjoy the present without the intrusive thoughts of the past bullying their way in.  Forgiveness is truly the salve that smooths unpleasant scars and renews our zest for life.

Forgiveness has many mental, spiritual, and physical benefits.  It frees us to go on with the rest of our lives with our heart still in tact and our mind free and clear.  It improves our health by helping us to relax.  In turn, we experience a lower heart rate and blood pressure and fewer physical aches and pains.  Perhaps, however, the most striking benefit of forgiveness is its ability to restore peace, joy, happiness, and mindfulness.  It is truly the magical prescription for navigating our lives.

While it's true that Christmas is over but giving yourself a treat should not end there. See, Valentine's Day is coming too! so having a new acoustic guitar won't hurt you at all. C'mon, indulge and pamper the musicality in you. Invest into a new guitar that would set your Valentine mood to really romantic. The acoustic guitar by Martin Standard is indeed the real standard. It is very saleable and has positive reviews. 

I just want to share my experience last Monday when my beloved city was devastated by the flood.

When the heavy downpour started, all I wanna do is to go home with my babies but home isn't that accessible without taking a ride. Good thing a colleague of mine allowed us to hitch to his car. During that time no more motorcycle is willing to wage the strong current of water to our usual route so he need to detour to the longer but safer road. We've been stranded at the super traffic highway of Aluba for an hour or two and we can do nothing about it because some cars who were ahead of us got their cars dead due to the flood. Finally, when we get out of the car at Macasandig (near Precinct 9), we need to walk from the drop point to Ororama Cogon passing through the dark alley of Nazareth. We were freezing cold and hungry but we need to go on. After almost an hour of walking, we finally reached outside of Ororama where we have to wait again for few minutes for a jeepney. Indeed, that experience taught me how to be patient and it made me realize that our living planet needs help from us people. We need to pay much attention to the environment because it is slowly giving us a hard time because of the abuses it gets from us. I do not know how the government would be able to solve the waste problem in our country but one thing is for sure, we need to be a part of the solution this time by doing the things that needs to be done.

Basically, this is one of the reasons why flood becomes inevitable.

If you own a commercial property, you have it heavily insured. A natural disaster or a fire could cause you to lose everything you have worked for. No one wants that to happen. Commercial property damage is bad because it results in loss of income for both you and your employees. All businesses should strive to be insured adequately. Some even choose to over insure their property. It is the best way to protect the building and the future employment of the people who work there. 

The first thing to do after a disaster is file an insurance claim. This claim lets your insurer know you would like to settle for the damages. The process is more complex with a commercial claim than a residential claim. Commercial properties range from the size of a house to a huge shopping complex. You want someone on your side when determining the settlement amount. It is a good decision to hire a public commercial claims adjuster. 

You Need a Teammate 

The insurance company will send their own representative to investigate the damage. They will then offer a settlement amount. You should be able to trust them since they work for the company you pay to insure you. Insurance companies work with their clients to make them happy regarding their settlement. It is still a business, though. They would prefer to provide you with the lowest amount possible that will keep you happy. 

A public adjuster is an adjuster hired to represent you in the claims process. They don't replace the insurance company's adjuster. They work with, or even against them, to get a better claim than was originally offered. Sometimes, they even force your claim to go into arbitration. They are even more valuable when they represent you in that manner. 

Public adjusters often have experience working for an insurance company. They know more about the industry than almost anyone. In most cases, they are more experienced than the insurance company's adjuster. Public adjusters must be licensed in each state where they work. This is not true of company adjuster. You never know what you are going to get with them. 

Commercial public claims adjusters work for you during a trying time. Companies like United States Adjusters that can help you find the right fit for your needs. The claims process will be simpler and more fruitful when you employ a commercial public claims adjuster.
