There is never enough time

Time is the most precious thing in life. It influences every single moment and everything we do. To manage time is to manage life! 

"Let's just imagine there is a bank that credits your savings account each morning with P86,400.
It carries over no balance from day to day. Every evening deletes whatever part of the balance you failed to use during the day. What would you do?
Withdraw  every cent, of course!!!
Each of us has such a bank. Its name is TIME.
Every morning, it credits you with 86,400 seconds. Every night it writes off, as lost, whatever of this you have failed to invest to good purpose. It carries over no balance. It allows no overdraft. Each day it opens a new account for you. Each night it burns the remains of the day. If you fail to use the day’s deposits, the loss is yours.
There is no going back. There is no drawing against the “tomorrow”. You must live in the present on today’s deposits. Invest it so as to get from it the utmost in health, happiness, and success!"
The clock is running. Make the most of today.

Whatever you want to do, do it now! There are only so many tomorrows.

To realize the value of one year,
ask a student who has failed his final exam.
To realize the value of one month,
ask the parent of a premature baby.
To realize the value of one week,
ask the editor of a weekly newspaper.
To realize the value of one day,
ask a daily wage laborer who has a large family to feed.
To realize the value of one hour,
ask lovers who are waiting to meet.
To realize the value of one minute,
ask a person who has missed the train, the bus, or a plane.
To realize the value of one second,
ask a person who has survived an accident.

Time goes by so fast, people go in and out of your life. You must never miss the opportunity to tell these people how much they mean to you.How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.There is never enough time to do everything, but there is always enough time to do the most important thing.

Time is a companion that goes with us on a journey. It reminds us to cherish each moment, because it will never come again. What we leave behind is not as important as how we have lived.

“Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” - Steve Jobs

Blessing in disguise

I want to share this story where we can see that sometimes things are not always as they appear...

Once there was a man who was ship-wrecked and stranded on an island. Every day he prayed asking God to send someone to rescue him, but to his disappointment, no one ever came. Months passed and this man learned how to survive on the island. During this time, he accumulated things from the island and stored them in a hut that he constructed. One day after hunting for food and returning back to his hut, much to his dismay he saw that his hut was on fire along with everything else he owned!

All of his possessions were going up in smoke! The only thing he had left were the clothes on his back. Initially he was in shock, and then he was consumed with anger and rage!

In his fury he threw a fist into the air and began cursing God and yelling, “God, how could you let this happen to me? I’ve been praying everyday for months about being rescued and no one has come, and now everything that I have is on fire! How could you do to this to me! Why did you let this happen?”

Later the man was on his hands and knees weeping heavily when he happened to look up and catch sight of a ship coming in his direction. The man was rescued and as they were heading back to civilization the man asked the captain, “How were you able to find me?”

The captain responded, “We were voyaging across the ocean when we noticed on the horizon a column of smoke going up. We decided to go check it out and when we did, that’s when we found you!”

In life we are going to be confronted with challenges, problems, and disasters. But keep in mind that what the devil has meant for bad, God can transform into your good! What is a catastrophe can sometimes be a blessing in disguise. 

“The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves such as have a contrite spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all.”

 Psalms 34:17-19

Papa Chen...Ser Chief...and BCWMH

I can't help not to make a post about this because I am one of Ser Chief's fan. Funny right? but I am not ashamed to admit that Richard Yap's charisma got a hold on me,..yes it's true! When  I was in my younger age I always dream his type, let me say his physical features are the one that captive me most. Tsinito, cheekbones, with a crooked smile... and even at my age it makes me falling in love seeing him.

 My attention was caught when I started watching his series BCWH, I really love that series, it talks about family, relationships, responsibility, discipline and more on being positive way of life in a daily situation. Every time I watched this online I almost forgot that all throughout the series my jaw was locked smiling, and at the same time giggling every time he smile. It's like I'm becoming a teenager again seeing your crush smiling at you...hahaha crazy right? But I admit it, I was falling in love with the character. I even search more about him, knowing that he is from Sacred Heart School from Cebu and from La Salle University and who would say that at his age of 46 he could still be a heartrob that steal the heart of many people. I even searched or let me say watched all the episodes of his previous series My Binondo Girl wherein it started his fame as Papa Chen.

I always say..."Ser Chief you always make my day!!!" Honestly it is not just admiring him that I would like to emphasized with this post. When I started watching BCWH, it helps me a lot and learn me a lot about attitude. The attitude of being positive, that no matter what the circumstance is, you must always look the positive perspective of life and always be happy. I have learned also about parenting in this series on how you handle your kids in a very nice manner and how to discipline your kids in a nice way without hurting them. For me watching BCWH series have taught me a lot and have made some changes in my attitude nowadays. Above all, I'm inlove!!! #hahaha#

Your My Everything

This song plays a vital role in my life... God is my everything now...

Your my Everything (by Mark Slaughter)

Travelin' down life's empty highway
I kept lookin' for a miracle there you were lookin' at me
Used to be, used to be, used to be so discouraged
And then suddenly I realized you are my destiny
CHORUS 1
But now I know whatever happens come what may
Now the sun is shining brighter
It's gettin' better everyday
CHORUS 2
Every night when the sun goes down
All I want is to be around you
With every single beat of my heart
You're my everything
I cannot believe all the empty hearted
I see the people in their everyday world
With you here by my side
Even though it gets real hard
We'll find a way to reach the stars                                               
In life and in love forever we'll always be
CHORUS 1 & 2
You're my everything and everything is you
No one can deny this love deep inside
Forever and always I'll be true
You're my everything

God has the reason...

When I was a non-believer, I rejected the Christian claims related to salvation. I thought, “Hey, even if there is a God, he certainly will judge me based on my personal effort. After all, "I’m a good person.” In other words, I trusted my own efforts; I was my own object of worship. Whatever saves or redeems you, this is your God. Maybe it’s time for each of us to examine our own life to see what we truly worship. Do we trust our own performance? Do we spend our time and resources appropriately?  Have we allowed some activity or person to become our object of worship? Have we become our own object of worship? It’s time to return worship to its rightful recipient.
If you are in a situation now that you question, Why life brings you all of these? Life will always teach us new things. Even when we are not prepared to learn them. Step up to the plate and accept all of life's challenges head on! Disappointments that we experience give substance and integrity to life. They give us that direction to yearn and seek self-fulfillment and worth. Whenever you fail, never stop in your pursuit for wellness and well-being. For as long as you have faith, you'll grow and be living and loving with more wisdom and spirituality. It was never a failure after all. Your life is made up of little moments, little efforts, little changes, big smiles, and all your hopes and dreams. Don't think any problem in your life is any different. Don't accept defeat. You were built to triumph through.

Sometimes we tend to focus on the negative and forget all the positive there is in the world. No matter what obstacles may come your way, stay focused, stay positive and you WILL overcome them. 

God created every creature, including human, with a definite purpose. In a sense, every life is as significant any other life. Consequently, everyone of us is destined to play the unique role scripted individually for us by the creator. The play is always through as at the present time, but the oncoming scenarios are yet to be played, and they are never revealed in advance ...it's shrouded in suspense. Life, and its mysterious state of affairs keep going along with the passage of time. You can have all the luxuries in the world but at the end of the day when you go to bed what actually matters is peace of mind.

Let go and let God is the way of life! Everything happens for a reason because God plans your life for you ahead of time.

I AM ME.

I AM ME. My first post with my new Blog. Five years ago I started blogging as one way of expressing my thoughts, ideas, feelings and whatever comes my mind. Five years ago I have created my own page but in an instance I came to a decision of removing that account due to a one circumstance in my life, I need privacy and the rest is history! That blog was merely created out of nothing, out in a box, and now I'm coming back again because I want to create a new one.  
Let me start expressing myself now... I AM ME! Just simply ME!
I guess my mind is filled with things that shouldn't bear thinking about, things that make me go d'oh! and d'uh? Things that I know don't make sense, but which still drive my one poor remaining brain cell into needless overdrive. Things that leave me questioning, unfulfilled, and empty. Now, I want to write things that makes sense... with direction, with goals, with questions answered, fulfillment and never get empty. 

I AM WHO AM I CHOOSE TO BE...Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.
About all you can do in life is be who you are. Some people will love you for you. Most will love you for what you can do for them, and some won't like you at all. Don't change so people will like you. Be yourself and the right people will love the real you.
Just be yourself, there is no one better. Find out who you are and do it on purpose.
