These are the things I am thankful for

iglo.wordpress.com

I am thankful for the clarity of my thinking that everything that I want to have is achieved in patience and correct guidance.
for having the thought of before acquiring all I want I should have correct knowledge to handle it rightfully when I finally get it.
for the stillness of my faith that God is there and everything is possible with him, in the times when I feel broken once in a while.
for the scripture that gives me support when I need it.
for the unexpected blessings and work even for a short time that reassures me of unlimited possibilities.
for the hope and love that I am feeling whenever things go well and in the times when things are not going well.
And I am thankful for God's grace in forgiving and understanding me in the times when I am wrong and weak.

Pinoy Resilience: from hope or hatred?

perspy.com

Bilib ako sa resilience ng mga Pinoy. Kahit saan mo dalhin, mabubuhay, magaling dumiskarte. Kayang-kaya magtiis at magtyaga. Tag-init at tagtuyot, umulan o bumagyo, winter, spring, summer or fall, yakang-yaka mag adapt at mag adjust. Manipis na pahid ng mantikilya o liver spread sa tasty o pandesal at kape, konting sardinas o tuyo at maraming kanin, gulay o de lata para makamura, solve na! Kapag maiksi ang kumot, walang problema sanay bumaluktot.


Resilient-1.springing back; rebounding, 2.returning to the original form or position after being bent, compressed or stretched, 3.recovering readily from illness, depression, adversity or the like; buoyant...ang sabi ni Mr. Dictionary.com. Isang character na nahihirapan ang karamihan. Lalo sa saklap na lumaglag na pag-ibig, ang hirap bumangon diba? Hindi rin biro kasi ikaw lang magisa mo ang aakay sa sarili mo para makamove-on. Kahit na sabihin mong maraming nakikiramay sayo. Pero kadalasan ang daily grind o araw-araw na pakikipag-tunggali sa kahirapan ang umiibabaw dahil mas marami ang sangkot.  May pinagkaiba nga ba ang bigong pag-ibig kumpara sa walang humpay na kahirapan? Ang alam ko parehong masakit at parehong araw-araw mong gagapangin, ang mabigo ka sa irog o ang pagkalam ng bituka sa gutom. Lalo pa siguro kung sabay mong tatahakin. 

It's all about our attitude. Kung pano ka magreact sa dilubyong tinatamasa. Masasagad ang tunay mong pagkatao, lalabas ang totoo mong kulay. Kung ano ang pagkatao mo sa ilalim ng kamay ng pagdurusa malamang yun ang natural mo. Nakakabilib mga taong nakakapit sa pamamaraan ng pag-asa at marangal na pamumuhay sa gitna ng lahat. Meron namang taong may mentalidad na  kailangang maging mangahas o ruthless para makatawid at mabuhay. Matira ang matibay, kapit sa patalim. 

May pagkakaiba para sa akin ang pagkumparang nabanggit. Ang resilience na nagmumula sa hope at faith, respectable at honorable kahit naghihikahos. Sa akin that is extraordinary living. Dahil nangingibabaw parin ang matuwid  na pakikisalimuha at walang hangad na masama sa kapwa. Isang klaseng resilience din ang nakikita ko, yung mula sa selfishness na may halong galit, na ang tema ng isip ay "kailangang magnakaw/mang-aabuso, para mabuhay." Sa akin that is an ordinary way of living. Kasi madaling maging ganyan, kahit sino kaya yan. Pero wala ring akong karapatang isa-walang bahala kung gano kahapdi at nakakapagod ang pagiging maralita, pamilyar din kasi ako dyan. Tanging Dyos lang ang makakahatol talaga sa lahat ng kilos natin.

Nasaan ba ako dun sa dalawang klase ng resilience na inilarawan?Ang tanong ko sa aking sarili. Habang nakikibagay sa kalagayan na nakakalungkot na pagbagsak ng ekonomiyang pang buong daigdig.  Dapat ko nga bang alamin yon kung saan ako sa dalawa? Eh ano ngayon kung malaman ko? Bahala na lang!

Naniniwala ka ba sa kasabihang: kung ano ang  inutang mo, pagbabayaran mo.(KARMA) Kung totoo nga ang karma, papano pa ako makakabangon sa pagkalugmok sa ka-dukhaan, sa walang habag na paraan, kung patuloy akong uulanin ng paulit-ulit na pagbayad sa mga kinauutangan. Para lang akong umapak sa kumunoy na walang tigil akong hihigupin pailalim kahit anong pagpupumiglas. 

Habang nabubuhay tayo palagi tayong kailangang pumili, ano nga ba sa dalawa? Extraordinary living o Ordinary living? Meron nga bang kahalagahan na tinutumbok ang article na to? O baka naman isa lang itong aksaya ng oras sa pagsulat para labanan ang boredom. Ipapaubaya ko na sayo ang pag pasya kabayan. Ikukubli ko na lang rin ang sagot ko sa aking sarili. Magandang araw sayo! :)

My Affirmations for this day

inner-light-meditation.com

With my own simple ways I will bring light to myself and to people who are in the darkness of despair and being broken.
I will convince myself and others that no events and circumstances can push us down in forming and developing the talents that was implanted to us since the day we were created.
My environment has nothing to do with my character and attitude in the way I should be seeing my life.
Each new day is a perfect day to ignite my spirit in seeking the wisdom and knowledge that I need everyday.
Not just only by words but through my humble and guided actions that I will get favorable blessings.
All the people that are close to my heart will always be guided and protected under the care of our Perfect Creator and Loving Source.

Who is the Greatest? Matthew 18:1-5

unicef

At that time the disciples came to Jesus, asking, "Who is the greatest in the Kingdom of heaven?" So Jesus called a child to come and stand in front of them, and said, I assure  you that unless you change and become like children, you will never enter the Kingdom of heaven. The greatest in the Kingdom of heaven is the one who humbles himself and becomes like this child. And whoever welcomes in my name one such child as this, welcomes me.

Finally I have finished the 14 day colon cleanse regimen

 This is the complete package for the 14 day cleanse.

It is not easy because you have to follow the time schedule of the products when you should take each product. Check it out

Here is the list that tells you which ones you are suppose to consume during the cleansing and which one you are to avoid. It is good to be aware of this things to help us improve our eating habits. To be more healthy and youthful.









It is not easy.... from prep week to power phase. ( check the picture of the schedule ) You need to have a lot of discipline which I really had a hard time. Because you will have to break on eating your usual everyday food. Especially when I reached the power phase week it's very difficult to maintain and stick to the recommendations. I did not maintained the perfect discipline during the power phase week because there are times that I could not resist on munching on cereals, banana cake, small donuts, arrozcaldo, fries, all in small amounts to the best of my ability. Although I have to give myself a credit for staying on with the alkaline forming foods. I have stayed on it to the majority of the cleansing weeks.
There is even twenty eight days cleanse. Which I think is going to be a lot harder. But I am sure the effects are going to be way much  better than the 14-day cleanse. I like the part where I lost 12-13lbs. very happy with that.
I think it is worth doing the cleanse to get rid of the toxins that are still in the walls of our colons. It could be one of the best prayer we can ever pray, to clean our system naturally.

Oct 2012, SF Pier 39

I am thankful for my present bodily condition, that I have a fully functioning body and a quiet mind.
for my family, friends and the people around me who are helping me out.
for the positive things and events that are slowly taking me to a much brighter future.
for having the capacity to apply the wisdom and knowledge that was handed down to me.
for being calm and peaceful in the midst of confusion and complications.
for the necessities that are being provided daily.
for the hope and faith that keeps me going.
for the lessons I am getting from giving, that it is the most sure way in receiving.
and I am thankful to God for making things right in my life with His ways even though I have no complete understanding of it all.

Life is too short

Glendale, California

The most famous phrase that we often hear. We are all really just passing by in this gift of life we are privileged to experience. I would like to think it is important to live sincerely. It is the thing that we really should be striving in this borrowed time we have. How much close are we in becoming our true self, to our whole being? We are not just made out of muscles, bones, nerves, internal organs etc. We are also spirit, not everyone might believe it but that is what I feel inside. The only way we could bring delight on our last days is to reflect and go back to all the good things we did for others more than what we did good for ourselves. You wouldn't like to be remembered as someone who is a selfish & difficult person to deal with. Someone who is hated by most. I believe that we are all kind and nice. Because it feels good to be kind and nice than to be rude and obnoxious. It's that simple, we can feel that almost instantaneously.


I have just been reminded again how short life is. I've learned that one of my childhood friend has a terminal disease (stage 4!). I pray that he is going to be completely healed of his illness and everyday pain that he has to deal with. I am saddened when I got this news from another friend. At the same time this kind of situations takes me back on reflecting how I should start working on truly discovering who I am and get to know myself more. Do I have a purpose? If so, what is it? To encourage others or to discourage others? Little by little I am taking steps to discover it in my own simple ways. Most of the time in the tiniest segments of my daily experience. It is in the smallest things that I can evaluate myself because it is the most honest reactions I make.


Where I am going with this is the importance of our sincerity to our self and to our Creator. We cannot just compose a very powerful prayer that could put us in tears and five minutes after we forget everything about it. Then think of ourselves as spiritual masters. It is really in the doing that equates it all not in the saying. The best investment for me is to have a sincere heart. It will never depreciate my worth, ever. In fact in my mind I will be appreciated by some for having it.  At the same time I understand that acquiring sincerity is not easy but it is worth striving for. Because there are positive effects to myself and others that can bring about in our lives.

Sooner or later we are going to connect to our spirituality because that is where we are all heading back. I might not be able to reach a high level of spirituality on my own limited capabilities, but with the grace of the Holy Spirit and consistent humility, somehow I might get to have a glimpse of devoutness. We are all in the process of being molded to reach our highest self. For God is the potter and we are his clay.

Understanding the Time (Luke 12: 54-56)

Jesus said also to the people, "When you see a cloud coming up in the west, at once you say that it is going to rain-and it does. And when you feel the south wind blowing, you say that it is going to get hot-and it does. Hypocrites! You can look at the earth and the sky and predict the weather; why, then, don't you know the meaning of this present time?"
