Start of something new
Sharing of interests, stories of where I've been and what I did. Insights, thoughts, learning that may be applicable and helpful to anybody in this world!
Yesterday, Sweets and I got up early to start the week with full of enthusiasm and energy! We were both happy because driving going to work has never been that swift (because there was no traffic).
Arrived CG2 at around 5:45am which meant we will not cram in eating our breakfast nor starting our work day.
Then suddenly, after alighting Alice (this is our car's name) I noticed that Kuya guard was approaching Sweets. I thought that we were unloading inappropriately (which i doubt and I have a ready spiel in case Kuya guard will make sermon) but then we learned that we had a flat tire.
This was our first time (at least for me and Sweets together) to have a flat tire on the road (luckily we were already in CG2).
With what happened, there can be many reasons why it can ruin our Monday -- but both Sweets and I have the ability to stay calm amidst the storm and thus we both acted the way we were expected to act. Stay calm and fix the tire!
Of course, Sweets did everything because I didn't know how to change the tire but seeing him do the thing made me think that I can also do that! Haha!
For situations like this -- it's so easy to get angry or upset!
Like I can blame Sweets for not feeling a thing (on the tire) or not checking before we hit the road etc. However, it will not help at all -- it will just ruin the moment and the energy spent in being angry might as well be used to fix the thing!
What happened is a reminder that we are blessed for three reasons:
1. We have a car to drive to and from the office
2. There are still concerned people to tell us that something was wrong
3. We have each other (Sweets and I) to support and cheer one another!
A situation may be negative but it is always up to us on how to look at it!
Waste our energy from negative vibes or heightened the positivity!
We have the capability to choose and so choose wisely! It's good for our health!

One time my husband and I was on our way home while discussing some stuff that matters to our lives and then suddenly this.
I zoomed my eyes and took my camera to immediately make this shot.
It was in my phone that I read the entire message at the back of this tricycle and I was in awe. I totally agree with this message and why do we have to see this message at the back of a tricycle while we were driving a car?
Have we (Sweets and I) thought of this? Us who is capable of buying the things that we want in life? Have we thought that happiness is inward and not outward??
My point is: In life - we will always want something! Something that we feel will make us invincible or will make us famous. But have we thought, even for a moment, that the simplest things are those that should always matter and should make us happy?
What are those simple things that money cannot buy? Here are my thoughts:
1. Your relationship with your family - the memories you've shared together.
May it be a simple meal together at home, jamming and singing time.
Simply listening to your mom or dad as they share their stories.
Helping your siblings with their school or life problems.
2. Doing what you really like to do - your passions! If you want to do journals!
If you like to be healthy then run, if you like to sing then do so!
It's a bonus if you love what you do at work! <I AM!>
3. Removing the negativities in your life - no explanation needed!
We are all old enough to know. *Wink*
Quoting the small text above:
" Beware! Don't always be wishing for what you don't have. For REAL LIFE and REAL LIVING is NOT RELATED to how RICH you are".
This is an eye opener that I would like to share to everyone.
Happiness is within us an what other people tells us! :)

Once a year I always post the same greeting ~ Happy Teacher's Day to all the teachers out there and most especially my mother!
Even Google reminded me but again as mentioned in my previous facebook post, I don't need to wait for the Teacher's Day to greet them!
Mama dedicated 23 years (not sure if this was the exact number) of her life to teach. Majority of her students were at the collegiate level, there were some high school students. They say and we all know this..
"Be Proud you are a Teacher, the Future depends on you"
And this is so true -- without them, without their time, we are all nothing.
Without their perseverance for us to learn, we will not instill discipline in ourselves -- we will not be working now and we will not be successful!
This image says a lot!
Remembering the award that Mama got when she reached the 20 year Milestone as an educator and I thank Canossa College for recognizing her efforts. More in this blog --> Mama Inday's Award.
I also would like to reiterate the things that I mentioned about -- How we can give thanks to our Teachers!
Again, no amount of "Thank Yous" would be enough to thank all our teachers, my mother, on the amount of time and effort they have put in just to see us graduate! Theirs is a noble job maybe not so many people would like to pursue!
If you want to be a Teacher -- I challenge you to continue it -- its not even a job -- it needs a lot of dedication.
If you do not want to be a Teacher -- I challenge you to be nice to them -- make it known to your kids, to your relatives, friends that they should be respected and appreciated!
To all my teacher relatives and friends -- here is a BIG KUDOS to all of you!
Xoxo
