Happy Friday: What's Next to a Successful Career!

















Last Wednesday night while I was browsing FB, I saw this very wonderful video posted by Sweets.

It inspired me and I want you to be inspired by it as well.




So, what can you say?

Nowadays, yuppies - young professional / entrepreneurs like us are always on the go to reach for our career goals and receive a high paying salary. We want to have it all and brag about it!

However, we should not forget the simple things that money cannot buy! Things that will make our old folks (parents) and family be very very proud of us.  Here are my simple acts of love:

1. Send a simple SMS - "How are you guys doing?"
2. Plan for a simple family get together - if budget is an issue then do it at home.
3.  Have a movie marathon at home - or a simple feel good family movie
4. Go for biking with your sisters, brothers, parents
5. Cook for lunch or dinner - food shared together even how simple means a lot.

You can have your own act of love but have an end in mind - it has to express how important and special your family is!

Love of the Family is LIfe's greatest Blessing ~

No to Pork!


I love Pork - but the fact that it's not healthy for my diet I tend to avoid it.

Today - Filipinos will be marching to Luneta feeling sick, tired and betrayed by PORK!

Today is where we (whether in Luneta or not) stand for our right and wish for a corrupt free country.

Today more than anything else, we act as one and we want to be heard.  

Today we pray that those who have the power to change the way politics work in the Philippines - make a stand and help decrease poverty.

Today we want change and we are all hoping to have this change for the better!!!

Today we fight!
Today we speak!
Please LISTEN AND TAKE ACTION!

Old Boots!


These past few days we saw how our fellow Filipinos struggled because of Maring and Habagat.  However, despite what's happening, you will see from the news and social media how Filipinos handled the situation.

A lot of netizens commented that being a happy person is a trait that we Filipinos can be proud of.  That despite the tragedy, we can still find a lot of reasons to smile and be happy.  

Like these old boots, some people might throw these goodies away but for creative minds, something can be done - like the image above.

My take away:

In any situation, we can always do something about it. 
It is just a matter of letting our imagination live within us.

How about you? How creative are you?

One of my fave moments!

Is when Ciolo is always there at my side! 


When I was studying my presentation!


When I was just sitting outside our home!


When we were about to sleep!


When Ciolo wants to play with our dog visitor "Cola".


When I caught him sneaking to take my apples!


When I was about to do my exercise!


When I was about to do my sit ups!


When I was singing my lungs out!


When he wanted me to give
him some corn! 


When he is chasing for my cupcake!




This is Now! While I am doing the blog!

-----------------
And the story continues...
When I was fixing my luggage.. I just stepped out and suddenly saw him inside.




















When I was about to leave the house for office.
He was patiently looking at me from afar.


When I was already outside the house, he was inside the garage!



Oh boy! Those eyes! Argh!


 
I love Ciolo!
Take Care my Baby! Diaz - Fernando family loves you!!!


The parents! :)

Happy Friday: How heavy are you?

Different things happen to different people.  No one have the same faith or luck because we live our lives differently.
If we are not that lucky in getting the things that we want or we are facing a lot of challenges, what should be our next step?

Our next step is to always believe that we CAN!

Even if there seems to be no way - just believe that things will have its way for us.  Why? because people in general believes that something is going to happen if we take action.

Believing that we can is the first step!
Taking action is the second step!
Sharig our blessing would be the third step!

Now let me share with you a special illustration that I found from Pinterest.


Optimism - is a mental attitude or world view that interprets situations and events as being best (optimized), meaning that in some way for factors that may not be fully comprehended, the present moment is in an optimum state.  The concept is typically extended to include the attitude of hope for future conditions unfolding as optimal as well. (wiki)

In laymans term - Optimism is believing that things happen for a reason and that greater things are coming our way.

You cannot buy Happiness...


--- but you can buy Chocolates and Shoes.
--- but Chocolates have calories so it's better to buy Shoes! Awweee!


I do not have a lot of shoes because I want to limit myself to a few pairs only.  However, as I look through Pinterest and Instagram I am always driven to browse through these wonderful shoes and I can't help but to admire them over and over again!

I have a promise to myself and I do not intend to break it ~ but as the need arises, I will never think twice to get a new pair.


Who loves shoes??
A guide for all of us :)

Stay Safe Everyone!

From yesterday until today, I am continuously monitoring the weather.
I am here in Laguna and I am not certain how to go back to Angono because of these floodings and majority of the roads were blocked.

I find twitter very helpful right now especially DZMM for the real time updates.  It was a blessing in disguise that I have my office laptop with me, else I will not be able to work from home.  Thanks to Accenture for this flexibility.

I am praying that this rain will stop and I am hopefull that everything that was damaged will be restored soon.

I am praying for everyone!
