Trick ot treat with a twist......

This year is the most memorable halloween celebration we had for several years. The past celebrations were the traditional scarry ones for kids and for adults as well, with matching witches and ghosts flying all over the building and with cobwebs on evry corner. It was scarry for the small ones and the bigger ones and the adults alike. So, this year to make a difference our HR suggested for a carnival type atmosphere. Our office decided to have our balloon corner, other got their ice cream corner, others toy corner and lots of stuff that Im very sure made the kids enjoy their Halloween adventure.

The Coconuter

I was just hopping from one channel to another on a stress free cool saturday afternoon, from UST vs. ATeneo (Studio 23), to Star Talk ( Channel 7, PBA ( Channel 21) and finally something very interesting that glued me to ABS-CBN's Nagmamahal Kapamilya. The story of David Eric Poarch, give up his American dream came to the Philippines and living as what he calls himself " The modern nomad".

Its somewhat ironic, statistics showed that a lot of Filipinos have left the country for greener pastures, then here comes this very young lad who left his comforable life in the U.S in the hope of bringing back great memories of his childhood, tracing his roots and living a very simple life. Wow, its a teleserye material, its an eye opener, its simple but its complicated.

A realization that its not about the money, the luxury or the comfort anymore that matters, its about happiness and joy. There are things in life that money cant buy, and you will wake up one day a part of you is missing and realize giving all you've got just to complete you as a person could be inevitable.

How pity, only experienced his first kiss, first time to hold a girl's hand, first girlfriend and first everything in the Philippines. read more of the Coconuter....and watch his entertaining video

A few things to think about...Three

The choice you make today will usually affect tomorrow.

Take time to laugh for it is the music of the soul.

Love is strengthened by working through conflicts together.

Harsh words break no bones but they break hearts.

To get out of a difficulty , one must usually go through it.

For every one minute you are angry with someone, you lose 60 seconds of happiness that you will never get back.

Hawak Kamay......

Hawak Kamay Lyrics - Yeng Constantino

Minsan madarama mo kay bigat ng problema
Minsan mahihirapan ka at masasabing “di ko makakaya”
Tumingin ka lang sa langit
Baka sakaling may masumpungan
Di kaya ako’y tawagin
Malalaman mong kahit kailan

Chorus
Hawak-kamay
Di kita iiwan sa paglakbay
Dito sa mundong walang katiyakan
Hawak-kamay
Di kita bibitawan sa paglalakbay
Sa mundo ng kawalan

Minsan madarama mo
Ang mundo’y gumuho sa ilalim ng iyong mga paa
At ang agos ng problema’y tinatangay ka
Tumingin ka lang sa langit
Baka sakaling may masumpungan
Di kaya ako’y tawagin
Malalaman mong kahit kailan

(Chorus)

Bridge:
Wag mong sabihin nag-iisa ka
Laging isipin meron kang kasama
Narito ako oh, Narito ako…

(Chorus)

Sa mundo ng kawalan mp3
Hawak-kamay, Hawak-kamay
Sa mundo ng kawalan…

A few things to think about...Two

Everyone needs to be loved, especially when they dont deserve it.

The real measure of a man's wealth is what he has invested in eternity.

Laughter is God's sunshine.

Everything has beauty but not everyone sees it.

It's important for parents to live the same things they teach.

Thank God for what you have, trust God for what you need.

If you fill your heart with regrets of yesterday and the worries of tomorrow, you have no today to be thankful for.

Happy memories never wear out...relive them as often as you want.

Our pains

Sometimes our pain becomes so great
that we despair in deep distress
we can cry to God with foolish words
that later we to Him confess. - D De Haan -
