Humility
If you are struggling with Pride, God's word will teach you about humility.
Being humble may be the hardest virtue a man has to practice. It is man's nature to think of himself first before thinking about others. Sometimes it is what causes conflicts in most relationships, business, friendships, families and a lot more. Why do men think of themselves highly than anybody else? Why do we always want to be above others, when even God humbled himself and become one of us?
I may not know the answer to these questions, but I want to thank God that through time He has taught me how to be humble. It was painful, it was hard, and sometimes I'm tempted to think of myself often before others. But God's word keeps on reminding me that I should be humble.
It is ok to admit our mistakes, it is a stepping stone to become a better person.
It is important to say sorry and mean it, this is one way to exercise humility.
Being too concerned of how you feel is being selfish, remember others have feelings also.
Here are some of quotes I want to share with you.
Humility does not mean thinking less of yourself than of other people, nor does it mean having a low opinion of your own gifts. It means freedom from thinking about yourself at all. ~William Temple
What kills a skunk is the publicity it gives itself. ~Abraham Lincoln
True merit, like a river, the deeper it is, the less noise it makes. ~Edward Frederick Halifax
It is far more impressive when others discover your good qualities without your help. ~Author Unknown
Nobody stands taller than those willing to stand corrected. ~William Safire
Romans 12:3
For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you.

Vday!! love love love :)
Sunday morning, Valentine's day..I'm excited to celebrate the day with the One who loves me more than anybody else. He always takes care of me, He is my joy, my comforter, my life. So I first spent the day praising Him and thanking Him for all blessings He has given me.
As I was pondering about the importance of heart's day, I realized that God has a deep and great love for us all. I couldn't count the wrong things I've done, I couldn't imagine the sins I have
committed and will still commit in all my life..but what I saw is God's loving arms ready to embrace me no matter how big my mistakes are. I felt God's great love and I know I am never alone..and I also have to share this wonderful opportunity to others. For them to know deep in their hearts that there is someone, someone greater than anything else, who will love them unconditionally.
Thank you God for your love for me ♥ iloveyou..

Priorities - Balance - Life
"Imagine life is a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them - Work, Family, Health, Friends and Spirit and you're 
keeping all of these in the Air.
-this is the 30 min speech of Coca Cola's CEO, Bryan Dyson.
keeping all of these in the Air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back.
But the other four Balls - Family, Health, Friends and Spirit - are made of glass. If you drop one of these; they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for it."
-this is the 30 min speech of Coca Cola's CEO, Bryan Dyson.

Everytime I Fall
A very nice song from Jaci Velasquez
I love the lyrics and it's a very nice love song..It reflects God's unconditional love for us :)
Chorus:
Every time I fall a little bit harder
Every time I fall a little bit farther
Every time I fall
I fall right back into your arms
Every time I try
To explain the reason why
I have let you down
I fall to the ground
What is it you see in me
That makes you believe
No matter how far I stray
I will still find the way
Just when I think I’m not strong enough
You reach out to me and you lift me up
Repeat chorus
Time and time again
When I think I’ve reached the end
It’s your voice I hear
That draws me near
I don’t know what makes you stay
When I act this way
No matter what we’ve been through
I can turn to you
Just when I think I’m not strong enough
You reach out to me and you lift me up
Repeat chorus
You find the beauty in my imperfections
The guiding light in all my misdirection
And when I think you’ve finally given up
You fill my heart with unconditional love
Every time I fall
I fall back in your arms
I love the lyrics and it's a very nice love song..It reflects God's unconditional love for us :)

An Inspiring Read
I just finished reading a great book by William P. Young called "The Shack." It was the best book I've ever read. I was so blessed that i was able to read the book. It was nothing I expected it to be. It's really a heart-warming and enlightening story for me. I spent nights shedding tears while reading this book. I was overwhelmed by how God has been revealed in the story and by how great His love is for people like us. There was never a dull moment for me reading this book. One of the things I learned here is that we can't understand everything that's happening in our lives, but we only need to trust God that He is carefully knitting the threads of our lives into a perfect piece. God never expects us to be like Him, actually God never expects anything from us. He is only longing for every moment we spend and will be spending with Him. He is not who we think He is, He is more than what we could imagine. And it is so comforting and encouraging to know that God is so powerful and yet He is fond of each one of us. It is not about religion or doctrine, it is a story about love. love of a father for his lost child. love of God for the human race. and our love for others.
Well, I could say a lot of things here but it still can't summarize the beauty of the book and how it inspired me. Hope you could grab a copy and be influenced by this wonderful book.

Nasidman Island
These past few days I have been really busy and I didn't have the luxury of time to update my blog. Now is my chance, so I'll share with you where we had our summer getaway.
This is Punta Pasil Beach Resort in Nasidman Island, Ajuy, Iloilo. A place blessed by a white sand beach, clear waters, lush surroundings and approachable people. It is a two-hour bus ride from the city to Barangay Barrido, Ajuy and a 10-minute boat ride to Nasidman Island.
We enjoyed boat rides to and from the island, taking pictures of the beautiful surroundings, eating our sumptuous lunch and some chichiryas, swimming in the cool waters and spotting some striped-colored fishes.
We had so much fun and wish we could go back to that wonderful place soon.

Lights switched off
March 28, 2009. 8:30 pm. I voted for EARTH!
We switched off our lights and enjoyed an hour of family bonding :)
my little brother was desperate to watch his favorite cartoons but my mom said we should not turn on the tv either. So we gathered outside our house, had fun dancing with our neighbor's music, storytelling and just talked about anything that pops up to mind. My brother's high school classmate passed by our house and told us that we are the only one who turn off our lights to join the earth hour. Quite sad because others don't seem to care or maybe they are not aware, but it also makes me happy that we have been a part of this global event and helped vote for earth against climate change.
"This is a vote made by the Philippines for the earth because we showed our unity for the world to take action in Copenhagen in 2009 where they will draft a post-Kyoto policy where they will set new targets for developed and developing nations to reduce carbon emission," said WWF communications officer Gregg Yan.
VOTE EARTH is a global call to action for every individual, every business, and every community – a call to stand up and take control of the future of our planet.
