The year is almost at its end, and yet we still see people who have made their New Year’s resolutions remain to be part of their list that never got anywhere. There are so many people who always wish to make something different in their lives when the New Year comes. They all seem to have all the hope that they and start changing their lives, to improve their lives. However, it is so sad that the list just remains a dream and never have these people made any efforts in trying to make them happen. Now, we just have about two weeks before we start another new year, have you contemplated about how 2019 was to you? Were there any changes in your life that helped you in a positive way? Or were there times that life challenged you that you almost gave up? We all experience different things and we also treat them differently. Some people may see a problem as a burden while others thank for it since it become a life’s lesson to them that allowed them to renew themselves and becom...

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 ...

Since I was probably 5 or 6 six years old, I have always had this motherly instinct. I may have been so young to realize that during those times. but I remember being always looking after my smaller classmates (Yes, smaller, because I was a bit taller than they were). This was probably me being the eldest, as I was always told by my parents to look after my brother. When I had my first child, most of the first-time moms may have been in a panic, but, since I had my mom and mother-in-law to help me to take care of my baby, it was not as difficult. They have prepared to become a much better mother when the other three children came. We try to provide the best care to my children. And I always tell them that they are lucky that they have their own home to live and have been given the best education that we can provide them. I remember when I went to fetch my youngest child from school and we took a public transport, a jeepney. There have been instances when there wer...

Time comes when we feel like we are left in a cold, dark room. All the pain and feeling of self-pity envelopes our soul. This may be your lowest point in life. How do you help yourself to break free from all the negative energy? The power of prayer has been proven to be the least expensive way of saving yourself from total destruction. Inflicted pain caused by our painful past, horrible present and doubtful future may lead you nowhere but to an endless tunnel of hopelessness. No matter which religious sect you belong to, believing that something good will always turn out will help you accept reality, move on and learn to accept challenges in a positive way. Remember, every one else may suffer from difficulties in life. It's just a matter of knowing your way out of it and make a full turn around. Today is Valentine's Day! There are a lot of people who exert a lot of effort to let their loved ones feel extra special. But of course, there are also others who feel lonely ...

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 ...
