On Loving Ourselves

Written by on November 19, 2009 – 3:42 am -


The more self-love we have, the less we will experience self-abuse. Self-abuse comes from self-rejection, and self-rejection comes from having an image of what it means to be perfect and never measuring up to that ideal. Our image of perfection is the reason we reject ourselves the way we are, and why we don’t accept others the way they are.

A Fruitful Hobby

Written by on November 18, 2009 – 4:26 pm -

One of the many perks that goes along while enjoying your hobby is getting to realize that you can earn money out of it. It goes with the saying like “Find a job that you enjoy and you’ll never work for another day” . Coin collectors are one of them, just like my father who has been one since he was young. He was really passionate about rare coins that he really took the effort and did some research and careful study about it. I remember seeing those in our cabinet and was really amazed when I saw the dates on the coins. He’s now trying to find a good deal wherein he can find more of those silver dollar that he wanted to add up on his collections and see if he could trade it in the near future. Monaco I think is a great place for him to do business with for it offers rare coins for investors and collectors, not to mention that it has been in the business for a number of years and bee an expertise when it comes to rare coin deals.

    Remembering Daddy

    Written by on November 15, 2009 – 12:26 am -

    Today marks the 2nd year death anniversary of Daddy, we visited him yesterday at the Himlayang Pilipino at Q.C. We woke up as early as 5 a.m to get ready as we don’t want to be caught up in traffic jam, we just commute by riding a bus and a jeepney to be able to get there. Offered prayers and flowers to him and mommy and her parents who were beside them as well. Weather is good as the morning sunshine is kinda cold. Kids only vivid memory of daddy is that he always makes and prepare oatmeal for their breakfast, Gabby could still fully remember their small talks then. Nicco on the other hand was about to learn how to walk and couldn’t talk much then. I know he is happy and smiling wherever he is now, we missed you too daddy!

    Being An Accountant

    Written by on November 14, 2009 – 11:19 pm -

    is what my mom wants me to become, but being the number hater that I am I immediately take off the idea because I really wanted to take journalism as my course when I was about to graduate in high school then. I even wanted to become a psychologist too. After weighing the pros and cons, I gave in to my mom’s request and enrolled in one of the business schools here in Manila, but my grades then was not able to reach the requirements for me to take the course in Accountancy, I opted to take Banking and Finance and hopes to shift on my first choice the next sem, but it never happened as I enjoyed my course and didn’t pursue the dream of becoming a part of Las Vegas CPA. But am still on the same boat and doing some business related jobs such as those in relation to accounting.

    My Fashion Style

    Written by on November 12, 2009 – 5:29 am -


    Your Fashion Style is Casual


    You prefer to keep it laid back. Jeans and a t-shirt are practically your uniform.

    And when you dress up, you’re still the most informal person in the room. Dressing formally makes you feel stuffy.

    Just because you’re casual, it doesn’t mean you’re unfashionable. In fact, you often look effortlessly chic.

    You know how to rock a perfect fitting pair of jeans and a funky t-shirt. Not many adults can pull off your look, but you can!

    An Overhaul

    Written by on November 11, 2009 – 9:15 pm -

    is what our van badly needs since it was submerged into the flood water two months ago during the typhoon Ondoy. We haven’t tried to start it’s engine since then and it took so long before we decided to have it repaired because we are short on budget. Buying a new one is not a priority for we could not afford it even for the next two years, the educational and household expenses are on the top of our list as of this time. It was decided that we’ll just have it repaired to a nearby car repair shop and buy necessary car accessories like the car floor mats and have the seats upholstered for a brand new look, I think that will be it for the meantime.
