Manage Your Expectations11.06.11

When you expect nothing, you always receive a lot.

No matter how much you receive, if you expected even more, you will be disappointed. No matter how little you receive, if you expected even less, you will be happy.

Your happiness depends on you… on your own perspective…

How do you see it?

Help Yourself!10.29.11

Life is full of struggles. Sometimes, we have to deal with the daily challenges on our own. Remember, you can do it! Rest if you must, but don’t you quit!

If you ever need a helping hand, you’ll find one at the end of your arm.

And a time always comes when you discover that you have two hands: one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

And there are also other people who are willing to extend a helping hand to you. We call them… our loved ones.

What’s With the Party?10.23.11

Suddenly, I just wanted to check my horoscope for today and I think this one has something to do with yesterday’s birthday party. Lol.

It takes patience, faith and bravery to ride out a storm … and you have all those qualities right now. In the midst of a social event today, you might feel a sweet breeze suddenly turn into a cold wind. A storm may blow over the group. Its destructive effect is not up to you — so don’t let yourself feel the weight of that responsibility. Run for cover if you must, but have faith that with honesty and compassion, the storm will be little more than a small damper on the party.

Though, I can’t remember anything like that happened last night. It was a super happy party for Selphie’s first birthday! Happy birthday my dear. :)

Hope you’ll like or gift. :)

Sommelier – A Wine Steward10.17.11

When I first heard the word sommelier, I didn’t know that it is a kind of job. I had to look for its meaning in Wikipedia before I fully understand what it was. My sister who was a graduate of BS HRM is asking me if I know some beverage/sommelier jobs available in Manila. She’s been checking her Jobstreet account all the time and can’t find a job that really perks her interest. Or, the qualifications are too high for a newly-graduate like her.

Anyway, let’s go back to this sommelier thingy. Sommelier is a Frech term for wine steward. it refers to a well-trained and knowlegeable wine professional who usually works in fine restaurants. The job specification includes especializing in all aspects of wine service as well as wine and food matching. It is basically more than just being a wine waiter.

Sommelier - A Wine Steward

Wine - Swirled to Perfection!

I think the reason why she suddenly gets interested with that kind of job is her background about wine. Well, I envy her for she have tasted and mixed a lot of drinks while she was in college because it is part of the curriculum.

I’m just hoping that she’ll find the best job for her. Something that she really want and that can make her really happy and satisfied.

Christmas Photowalk10.15.11

Christmas Lights on Christmas Tree

Celebrate Christmas!

I’m kinda pressured and excited about this coming Christmas. Pressured because I don’t have any Christmas bonus to expect yet I have to spend more on gifts and holiday preparation. At the same time, excited as always and every Christmas. What I’m more excited about is the thought of spending the Christmas eve with my family. When I was working as a Technical Support Engineer, I didn’t celebrate Christmas at home. I was always at work. Now, it will be different and for sure happier.

I guess, people are also doing a lot of preparation for the Yuletide. Christmas lights always caught my attention at night while passing by big houses and business establishment. And I think, these blinking colorful lights will be a good photo subject. Yes! Thus, I wish to do some photowalk with my friends with the title, “Christmas Photowalk”. I am finally shooting pictures once again so I am ready to take more shots! I’ll definitely have a good time with Chandler, my DSLR. I have plans of buying digicam, too so that I’ll have something more handy during special occasions. Still thinking about going for olympus digital cameras.

A Big Mistake?10.05.11

Things to ponder if you’ve made a mistake:

It’s never too late to get back on track. Never has anyone gone so far on the wrong path that they cannot return to the right one. Never has anyone become so wayward that they cannot benefit from the true light.

I never thought I’d face some health risks just what I’m experiencing right now. Maybe, if I have life insurance I won’t worry that much. I can’t help but think of what will happen if I die. I’m just trying to shake the negative thoughts and live as happily and healthily as I could.

Choose a Brighter Future09.03.11

You can be an echo of your past, or the glory of your future.

Past is connected to future through the present. At this very moment, at every moment, you are choosing to carry on the past with all its troubles on your shoulders, OR to let it go and see bright future pull your forward. Choose wisely.

Be Realistic…07.20.11

Inevitable is best accepted with serenity.

Prayer and Candles

It's not a question of faith...

There are times when you absolutely see no solution. When you’ve thought and thought and prayed and prayed; when you’ve sat still in meditation listening for an answer and still no answer comes. There are times when it’s okay to just surrender.

Envision…07.16.11

Everyone mistakes the limits of their vision for the limits of the world.

Have compassion for others when they cannot see what is obvious to you. Have compassion for yourself when you realize that you can see only a small part of God’s vision for the world.

envision horizon

You're on the right track...
