The laws of economics has changed the way we live our lives. Everyday people live their lives in a scarcity mindset because economics has taught them that there is not enough for everybody. We are made to believe that the we have to compete with each other to survive.

May 2013 Elections

If not for my father's persuasion I wouldn't have voted yesterday.

But because of her persistence I gave in and cast my votes. I told friends that I would not vote because I do not want to choose the lesser evil but I ate my words and yes, chose the "lesser evil" that I know and 'hoped' for the best.

With the results of the poll coming out I am really frustrated. Really, I thought Filipinos became smarter voters already? When will we ever learn?

But what's done is done.

Instead of making this a big issue as it already is, let's just make the best out of it as responsible Filipinos. After all, we can't really totally depend on the government for each of our problems.

Each Filipino has his own responsibility. That responsibility does not end on casting a vote. If you think that Philippines will prosper because you made a vote yesterday your totally wrong, dude.

Change does not come to lazy, pessimistic, blame-the-government-attitude people. Change comes to those who continue to chase their dream, to the hardworking, to the optimistic and to the people who do their part to be a true Filipino.

So, what is a true Filipino? You tell me.

A Lesson From a Lost Shorts.. Yes, Shorts.

We always hear the saying, "God does not take away from you that He won't replace with something better".

Heath is Wealth

Why such a title? You see, when you just gotten out of sick bed you begin to appreciate more you health and begin to realize once more that yes, health is wealth.

Makeup is Not a Mask

Makeup is not a mask. It is not something that you wear to hide your true self.

Beautiful Sunday

What do you usually do on a Sunday?

To Exercise Or Not to Exercise

I am not an athletic person, so High School and College PE was a nightmare for me. Although I knew the benefits of a regular exercise I cannot find the courage, if that's the right word, to do so.

Employment vs Business

I have been employed for four years now. To some this is a short period of time, because a lot of Filipinos spend their life at least 20 years on employment.

Happy Birthday Pepe

No doubt, my favorite hero is Jose Rizal.

Papa's Girl (A Father's Day Special)

I only have a few childhood memories of my father because He worked as an OFW in Japan when I was in elementary. But those "few memories" were enough to mold me as a person I am right now.

Compete With Yourself

In today's world competition is everywhere. Everybody wants to be ahead of anybody. Everybody wants to be number one.

Beautiful in His Eyes

I used to hate my eyes. Hey, I said "used to". That's because my eyes are kinda big and I thought that girls with big eyes aren't so pretty.

Dreams Do Come True.. Do They?

Some dreams come true, some don't. Have you wondered why?

I have 3 theories why dreams do not come true and I would like to share it with you. :)

Missing Baguio...

I went to college in Saint Louis University, Baguio. So practically I spent about 6 years of my life there.

To Tithe or Not To Tithe

Since I was a kid I was educated to be a good steward of the blessings of God. It was my mom who taught me about the value of tithing when I was in grade school. But it is nice to know that I have several friends who also believe in the value of tithing. Although I also have some friends who do not at all practice it because of the lack of information or training or the will to do it. And there are also some who do not practice it because they have never heard about it at all as in no idea at all.

My Dream to be an Entrepreneur

I have always wanted to become a business owner. I am so glad that today, I finally have the courage to take a leap of faith and start doing my own business. Although it is quite hard especially during these start up stage because me and my business partner are employees at the moment. But still I'm happy that I am now pursuing my dream to become an entrepreneur.

Once Upon a Time-An Ugly Duckling (A Mother's Day Special - Part Three)

I had a very low self esteem when I was a kid-this is something I never told my family until now, ha ha. The reason I am writing about it now is to somehow inspire other people and to give tribute to my fairy godmother.

A Mother's Love - (Mother's Day Special Part 2)

Having a sister is a wonderful gift. I remember one time when we were kids, my older sister was my "little" mother.

A Mother's Love - Part 1 (Mother's Day Special)

When I think about my childhood days I always catch myself smiling. I wonder how did I grow up to a fine woman (ehem). People who know me today might be surprised when I they come to know this story.

Why You Should Not Settle for Anything Less

Simple, because we are created for greatness.
