Life's Lemons and More

Becoming a Zombie

You wake up in the morning faced with a routine that has conquered your life for the past ten years. You no longer feel challenged doing the same job but you know well enough that it pays you good money but the drive just doesn't seem to be there. What do you do?
It is a tough decision between having the kind of job that has paid you well but has totally consumed all your strength and interest. And it is another thing to look for one new job that might tickle your mind and push you to a new level. You just can't get a new job when you want to. You need to think things through. Sometimes more than just thinking about what makes you happy, you should also consider how it would affect the people that depend on you. 
To ignite that lost sizzle into your routine job, you need to give yourself a break. Take a short vacation and get recharged by having time for yourself. All your perseverance may just be going nowhere if you don't love yourself. Life is too short to waste. Never let the day pass in front of you. You'll realize that getting yourself out of the four corners of your office will let you see things more clearly and will help you gain back the old you.
And yeah, don't forget to talk to people to keep your mind off from feeling frustrated coz being surrounded with the people you love will surely inspire you the most.

The Best Things are Yet To Come
I have always believe that everything happens for a reason. And all the struggles we go through should not be taken as something bad but rather see it as an opportunity to do better. Life is not perfect, we all know that. And that is why we need to take all the challenges in life to make a better future. If we fail for the first, second, third time, it's okay to try again. Perfection may not be really in existence but through these little imperfections, we basin more than we have ever realized.
No matter what religion you belong to, the belief that a Supreme Being looks after us should help us to be strengthened. The journey we have may be a long one. But trust me, it's all worth the time.

Surviving Christmas on a Tight Budget

How are you doing with your Christmas shopping so far? For sure, most moms have started making their list as early as June and take advantage of all the tiangee and bazaars that are scattered all over Metro Manila to find the best deals. Just like any smart mom, looking into the tiniest details has become sort of a habit mainly because money is not as easy as plucking fruits from their trees. Therefore, we want to make sure that everything that we buy is worth every cent that we spend. When doing your Christmas Shopping list, what comes on the first spot? Is it the gifts that you would buy for your family and friends? The food that you will be preparing for the Noche Buena? Or the Christmas decorations to have the real feel of Christmas. Actually, I have never been as vigilant as listing all the possible expenses come Christmas. But since we have been experiencing an increase in prices here and there, any smart mom should be prepared for the holiday expenses. Hold on ...

A Glimpse of Hope

The year is almost over and for some, it may mean awaiting a new beginning. But for some, it would mean an extension of difficulties and agony that they have from the past years. We could not instantly convince people to change their minds. But for us who believes that there is still life beyond our struggles, how do we help? When we know people who seem to be slowly losing faith in their capabilities to fight hard, what they need is someone who can listen to what is in their heart and mind. There is no room for judgment. All that there should be is a listening ear and an understanding heart. Depression can lead one to more serious health issues. And we can see how this has affected so many people- from their everyday jobs to family relationships. Learning to unload the heavy burden to a trusted person will surely help to ease the pain. We may not be able to instantly solve the existing problems, but at least we get to help them to realize and choose better options. 2016 should b...

Daily Dose of Positivity

It's another year of starting anew. But what often happens is that we tend to leave our list/goals for the new year on that piece of paper and forget about it. When you look back at the past year, what do you feel? Do you feel that you have accomplished anything? Do you feel that you lacked the necessary time to be able to make a difference? Wouldn't you want to continue an unfinished project? You don't need to compete with everyone else. You don't have to be an object of envy of others. Value yourself more than what money could buy. Believe that you can do something. Believe that you are capable of making change. Aspire to always become a better version of yourself. When you set your goals, make sure that it is something that will affect you and the people around you in a positive way. Never be disheartened when people start to criticize. Instead, listen and understand. There might be certain points where you fall short and need to make just a little adjustments ...
