A Walk Through Life

Here's another reason to get motivated. The results are already in and I am one of the winners to the Make A Wish Blog Contest! There were really a lot of beautiful entries to the contest that I am already happy that my entry landed on the third place. I can't wait to tell Joevilyn and my batchmates about this win! Thanks to blankPixels and her generous sponsors for this wonderful contest! P.S. I thought my post should already end right there.. But there are more words to say---- Last time, I actually bumped into Lemski's entry to the Make A Wish Blog Contest and I was touched that she actually wished for me to win the contest. To me, that sure was a winning entry. :-) Thank you, Lemski!!!!

Sometimes it just gets me. I can't come up with a post. Life has been extremely busy. And a little stressful (most of which are my own doing). Indeed, I do need to prioritize things. After all, I'm still human and I need to breathe and exhale. Well, anyway, I guess I'm back on track. All it took was a little prayer and little motivation from my favorite motivational writer, Og Mandino. Thanks to the pdf search engine, I was able to browse again some excerpts from the Scroll Marked VI of The Greatest Salesman In The World .  The title may sound like a boring book about sales and marketing, but trust me - it's a book that you really can't put down. That's right. I thought of mom today. Yesterday, I also thought of her. And I'll always think of her every single day. She got me into liking Og Mandino's writings. She got me to memorize The Greatest Salesman's Prayer at the age of six. It's a long prayer but I was able to memorize

I felt so bad about missing the Cebu Blogcamp 2010. I've read the e-mail confirmation the night before and I was really excited to go. The plan was to have my husband drive me there to the location (it's a one-hour plus drive from here) but he wasn't even able to wake up earlier, anyway. Add to that, there were also domestic problems that needed to be taken cared of which made me feel guilty about leaving. I felt bad about not being there, really. I would have been there if some things didn't get in the way. I told my husband that I would just write to the organizers about my absence but he said they will hardly feel my absence and that the event can even go on without me. Oh, okay! Somehow, that hurts a little. I told him, wait until I am already somebody... :-) Anyway, we didn't really argue because it was already the end of the conversation. Now, I've learned.. it's really different when you're already married (plus a daughter). You no longer thin

No matter where we are in the country, we all have similar needs for security and protection, be it in our homes or in our businesses. It is inevitable then for most of us who have thoughts of security and protection for our homes and businesses to think about getting a Local Insurance that can help us recover from all the possible risk of losses involved in the ownership of these valuable assets or investments. When looking for a specific local insurance, it is best to know more than one insurance policy so that one can practically compare one insurance quote from the other. The word 'practical' is often used when deciding on a particular insurance because we don't want to splurge our hard-earned money on something that doesn't give us the most benefits, in terms of insurance coverage. That is how it is like when we shop for the perfect insurance that's suitable for our needs. Anyway, there are already a number of insurance providers that exist today; and becaus

When I was still single, being set up on a few dates had helped me how to carry myself well in front of the opposite sex. Well, I actually learned how to be myself and to be comfortable with being myself in front of a man. Somehow, those dinner dates have helped me realize (sometimes psychoanalyze) the many different personalities that men possess. There are men who are too nice while there are also men who just play nice. With dinner dates, you can engage in a nice conversation with the opposite sex. A dinner date is what I call a "harmless date". After that, you only have to thank the person for a nice dinner date and conversation with him. Then maybe if both of you like each other, then you can look forward to another date with the person. It's like getting to know the person a step at a time. When on a date, the subject on who pays for dinner is sometimes an issue. Traditionally, when a man asks a woman for a dinner date, it is already given that the guy pays for di

After taking our dinner today, I felt like taking a little walk outside and tucking Dipdip along with me so that I can prevent myself from sitting right away in front of the computer. After I did that, I felt like I've burned some of the unwanted calories in my body already. It is also a refreshing feeling to have taken a walk inside the subdivision at night time with the moon and the stars above us. I'm not really good at describing moments like that; so I'll probably just say- I'm glad to have taken the stroll. In short, expect that I'd do this every night. Anyway, beyond those burned calories and some moments with Didpdip in the moonlit night, there's also one good thing that happened that night. I had met and made a friend! She's a nun. She's temporarily living in the unit in front of us. I forgot the congregation where she belonged but she's one of those nuns who are not required to wear a habit because they do social work. Tonight, she was
