Blogging fatigue cure for myself

Im tired.

Ive noticed that Im not the same blogger that I used to be and will be. It seemed that I ran out of stories to tell, pictures to post and things to say. Well, I dont have enough reasons nor excuses to comfort myself, but one thing I know maybe its too much facebooking, yes, eating my time just browsing, looking at other people's pictures, posts and etc. Minding other people's business. Too bad for me. Its all about me, the discipline of being able to carry out the blogging targets I set at the beginning of the year but failed to hit even one fourth of the mark. And now Im trying to get rid of this blogging fatigue. I know  it would take a while to be restored but I have some points to tell myself for the blogging purpose.

1. I plan to blog daily. Its should not be long, but just enough to stir my imagination and just to have fun playing with letters on the keyboard.
2. If there's no idea that would flow from this tired mind, maybe a post of a cute or interesting photo with a few thought provoking captions will do.
3. This is my blog and I can do anything here, except things that would hurt and bad for others. of course, its a blog where I want my readers to be inspired and not feel bad about.
4. Simple things in life, daily trials, daily struggles I can also share to my readers.
5. Even daily victories and daily praises to our Lord.
6. Minimize facebooking time, lessen time for playing games on face book and lessen minding other people's businesses. That way I could be more productive in my blogging life.
7. Read other blogs, get inspired, comment other blogs.
8. Enjoy blogging.
9. Love blogging
10. Blog daily

Hmmmm, Hope the list goes on and on but I still have to think about many things and just add on my list from time to time.

Today's verse:

Hosea 6:1
“Come, let us return to the Lord.
He has torn us to pieces
    but he will heal us;
he has injured us
    but he will bind up our wounds.

Im inspired and motivated

It feels different.
Im blessed and im impowered by God's word daily.
There are miracles each day of our lives, even the drop of a single tear itself is a miracle. How it is formed and the conditions in which it might fall is complicated yet its so basic its so normal. I dont think I could ever explain how my tear dropped.
Just the same. I am blessed that I have this eagerness and inspiration daily to anticipate and get excited with God's word daily.
It when You have a simple prayer and a petition to God and we know how He answers our prayers; its through His word that we read daily. His answers may not always be a Yes, sometimes its a no, and often times its wait.
Thats why Im inspired and motivated.
The Bible is God's word  His love letter for each and every one of us. Sad to note that often many neglect this letter and just dont give it value. Its full of promises and assurances and helps us when we are weary, tired and even broken hearted.
Im inspired and motivated that day, each chapter brings a whole new promise, a whole new guidance and God's reasurring comfort each and every day.
For me, its a suprise.
It also serves as warning, giving wisdom that equip us as we journey daily.
Its inspiring and motivating me to start the day with a smile and keeping always in mind that everything that I do is all for Him.

Are you inspired?
Are you motivated?

Have a nice day and take care!

Top of the world

Im the king of the world!

Well, they say I do look like a tarsier. Was it a compliment. I thought tarsiers are cute beings. Then, a thought came, may be if I were came to to mind, that if I would be an animal, I would like to be a tarsier.

My Reading List

Here are the books on my reading list

Well, its just a list until I finally decide to do it with love and with proper time management. Easier said than done but its one of the things that I promised to myself for this year: that is to read more books last year. I cant even remember if I was able to finish even five books. This year I wanted to make a difference and start it right.

Of Knowing You

Thank you Father, that You so loved the world that you gave Your only son, our Lord Jesus Christ. Fairest Lord Jesus! You alone are my heart's desire...my chief delight...my soul's glory, joy and crown. Every advantage life can offer is like rubbish, compared with the overwhelming gain of knowing you.

John 3:16; Philippians 3:8

Kampo Juan Birthday

It was my birthday and I spent in a place where there was a whole new adventure experience for me. It the third year in a row that I spent it alone, well sound weird but I like the idea of being in the house and just sleeping and doing. It was a special day and its worth doing something worthwhile and exciting. So for this birthday I decided to try the Kampo Juan adventure.

the moviein my mind

started the day with my all time favorite batchoy

I woke up late and went past 8am, I looked for something to feed my cold and hungry stomach and was glad I passed by La Ilongga and alas, how very soon, in no time I was sipping the warm and spicy soup with delight.

tried the hanging bridge....

the anicycle, the first in asia if not in the world.....

Agora bus terminal and took the bus to Manolo Fortich

It was  a short but enjoyable trip, I bought some ponkan and three pieces of egg to entertain me on my way to adventure, and as usual  we stopped by ala-e for the regular quarantine routine for health reasons and the like for the animals in bukidnon, necessary steps to follow as you enter the province.

welcomed by cool breeze and the chirping of the birds

Feel in mere 30 seconds

People tell me, “I don’t have the time to …

… go to the store and pick up fruits and vegetables.
… exercise.
… sit and breathe.
… to be positive.

Really? Too busy to be positive?
Surely, you can clear a scant 30 seconds to do something positive for yourself, can’t you?
If thinking about what to do takes up too much of those 30 seconds, here follow 8 suggestions!
8 Positive things that you can ‘accomplish’ in a mere 30 seconds.
Breathe. 70% of waste is eliminated via your lungs! You can place your hand on your belly and feel it rise and fall with each breath cycle. Thirty seconds of breathing can do wonders!
Affirmations. Repeat one powerful affirmation over and over again for 30 seconds. If it’s a short affirmation, “I am whole and complete,” you may be surprised to find how many times you can repeat “I am whole and complete” in just 30 seconds.
Stretch. Stand and reach for the stars!

Smile. Smiling relaxes hundreds of muscles and releases pockets of stress and tension held in your face.
Stay Hydrated. Your brain is approximately 75% water, and it’s the first place in the body to lose water. Your brain needs water to think clearly. Drink a glass of water.
Close Your Eyes. Give yourself a real break and allow your body a 30 second opportunity to re-balance itself. Close your eye, cup the palm of your hands over your ears and listen to the blissful sounds of the ocean playing. Just like when you were a kid and held that shell to your ear!
Dance It Out. Plug your iPOD into your ears and shake it up for 30 seconds. The ultimate energy boost!
Do Nothing. Just sit and stare; perhaps out the window or at the ceiling. Just be sure to do nothing!
Surely, we all have a few 30-second pockets of time during the day where we can take the time to just be.
Start NOW!
Spread the word … NOT the icing!

Im doing this right now and I just want to spread this to all.

I lost another coin purse

      I was hoping I left my precious balck coin purse at the office but when I arrived it was not there. I broke my heart for another lost coin purse. Sigh.... Sigh ....Sigh. By far it was one of my favorite coin purses and I have left a 500 peso bill inside that coin purse and that was not mine, it was supposed to be a payment that someone gave to me to be given to someone.

     It was really a bad day.
     It was that tuesday eveneing when I went to national bookstore to buy blaapen, but when I saw Jerry Bridges book I decided to buy, and another book from that I forgot the title, a planner and our daily bread daily devotional. I realized I acted like an impulse buyer coz I just thought of buying ballpen and alas, I bought books and other stuff. But, I really liked the book of Jerry Bridges  Holiness Daily Spiritual Journey. I plan to read and finish that book soon and be blessed with the message then fret on the thought of buying it without planning.

   And about the lost coin purse, my implulse mind came again and thought of buying another coin purse, but I will try to control myself, I guess I have to learn living without the coin purse  to punish myself for being so careless and thoughtless.

Welcome 2013!

    It's been more than a month that I was not able to post here and it was a year ago. I miss the times that I post here and read a few comments but with the frequency of the posts I make I doubt if I coul still have readers and freinds visit.

     I guess its really not too late for a welcome post for the year 2013.

     Im hoping that this would be a better year for me in terms of posts and places to

         travel and stories to tell about.

     Im hoping to eat more and tell more about it.

     Im hoping to sleep more and share about the dreams I will have and the aspirations for the future.

     Im praying for a milestone for this year in my life. I pray that God will be will me and will guide me.

   Though I have fears in my heart, there's always hope.

    And not be afraid coz God is always with me and will never leave me.

   Have a pleasant year everyone!

   Cheers to more posts.

After a week, im better

Im glad Im well.
Last week was a pity. Even when it was already wednesday still my voice was not that pleasing to hear. I sound like an old man, with nose running and eyes swollen with matching tears. I heard a client saying to his wife "she's sick". Well, I pitied myself all the more and felt like crying like a little helpless lady.I was hoping my superman would and rescue me from from the pit of self pity and humiliation but the real thing was that I was alone and realized hat I was not fit to work. It was a relief when my boss called and said I could take the day off the following day and rest. Wow, that was what I wanted to hear and thank you Lord, my prayers were answered.

And now, alas! Im well. Thank you Lord.
My voice is maybe not the normal but I now sound ladylike and no swolen eyes and tears, but itchy throat. Water is my source of relief and I wont mind drinking all the 6 gallons just to chase away the itchiness of my throat.

As I review the past week, one think I have learned. I felt I was too addicted with work that all I think about was work work and work, maybe God allowed that to happen coz it was through that cough spell that gave me that needed 4 day rest.

Tomorrow is another day.

God confident

No temptation^[a] has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted^[b] beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted,^[c] he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.

 1 Corinthians 10:13

     Thats what the Lord gave me today. Temptation is everywhere and there always ready to devour us to break us and to hurt us emotionally, mentally, psychologically the whole of us. We commit mistakes when we rely on our self-confidence. Its useless and would bring us no where. But this verse suggests that we should and by all means cultivate God-confidence, for apart from Him we can do nothing. Everything from little to great things come from God and self confidence is for the hard headed and the hardened hearts, a real truth that everything is from God and for God.

      I stand corrected with the kind of attitude that I have. Its not about me, but its about God.Often times im too self centered, the limelight is on me, and today im reminded that my confidence is in the Lord. Learning to trust Him in every aspect of my life. I ended up making the wrong decisions and committed the same mistakes over and over again and I face the consequences, yes, I know that with the confidence I have in God I can survive what ever emotional turmoil I may have and will have.

   Its not about me.
   Its about God.
   I will not be self-confident.
   But, I will rely on God.
   I will be God-confident.

Patience is a virtue

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, ²³ gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Galatians 5:22-23

These qualities are the qualities of our Lord. As christians we also have these gifts from the holy spirit. But sad to say for me all these qualities are still in the making. The one I struggle most is patience. Above all things thats just difficult to do, but im thankful that God is making me experience events in my life where I get to practice patience and truly its a virtue. We seldom find patient people since nowadays are fond of instant things and waiting seems to be a torture.

I just pray that I will be patience more and more each day, with people, with circumstances, with long lines, with late people, long working hours and a lot to mention. I appreciate why I have to endure, even waiting for the Lord's coming, we dont know when He will come but we will have to do our part and the great commission while we are still on earth and share to those who have not received Jesus Christ as his her personal savior.

My Handwriting

My mission is to make my hand writing a little bit legible. The way I look at its legible enough for me but I guess my readers would find it hard to understand. Its small so maybe Id make it more bigger, and define the letters e,o, r, and my letter is is crooked.. I realized that im not making any effort to make each letter the way they should be. I just scrib and jot but I know I can improve it.

I guess there are several factors that affects one's penmanship, the kind of paper matters and the kind of ballpen matters, and that theory applies to me and hope it also applies to some. But, there are really people who are blessed with such nice penmanship even with cursive and the architect style of writing. I classify my hand writing as trying hard architect style, wahehehehehe.

I cant talk :(

Its sad.
What a day to start my work and im without voice because of cough and colds.
Wew
This cant go on like this. I know I have to take my rest, take medication and sleep and res so that when i come back I will have enough voice and enough strength to do my job well. I cant do my job as a front liner of the company when people cant understand me right?
And now I have decided in m heart that tomorrow, Im going to rest and take my sick leave and rest rest and rest. Thats the best thing t do than be sorry.

What a day!

My back is aching.
My eyes puffy with staring at my pc and counting the money for whole day even until 9pm, and with still pending payment on the side.
Sad news, maam Ai is diagnosed with stage 1 cancer. Oh, Dear Lord. Just managed to be brave and be strong for her and for us also.
And today though I feel Im so down and exhausted and have been tired with thw whole days work, I still praise the Lord for giving me the strength and for sustaining me even up to this time I as blog my emotions out. Feel like crying when I saw all the people waiting to be served, paying their internet and telephone bills. Its ok then when it started at 8am, I could still keep the pace and the speed in attending but as hours passed I noticed the enthusiasm mellowed a little and when its was 12 noon with a lot more waiters and the room packed with irritated, sleepy, impatience and even hungry people.
I praise the Lord for the strength. I asked for help and He was always there ready to cheer me up and have a positive outlook on a seemingly negative environment, full of complaints and woes.
Thank you Lord.

He said to me on Joshua 1:5 I will not leave you nor forsake you.
Thats a promise I kept all through out the day, a day revealed of positive outlook and a smile to express that God is really there guiding me helping and reminding me to smile despite the odds.

Tomorrow its another day to delight in God's word and allow Him to use us for His kingdom.

Steady my heart, Lord

Wish it could be easy
Why is life so messy
Why is pain a part of us
There are days I feel like
Nothing ever goes right
Sometimes it just hurts so much

But You're here
You're real
I know I can trust You
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsty.com/kari-jobe-steady-my-heart-lyrics.html ]
Even when it hurts
Even when it's hard
Even when it all just falls apart
I will run to You
Cause I know that You are
Lover of my soul
Healer of my scars
You steady my heart (x2)

I'm not gonna worry
I know that You got me
Right inside the palm of your hand
Each and every moment
What's good and what gets broken
Happens just the way that You plan

And I will run to You
You're my refuge in Your arms
And I will sing to You
Cause of everything You are

You steady my heart (x2) 

Its the song for the week at home. Im touched by the song, love it so much and kept singing it all week long and even up to now. I thank God he got me right inside His palm safe and secured. Though I may have set backs and pains and hurts I can ask God to steady my heart. I hope bloggers could pause and listen to this song, I know you'd agree and sing along with me.

 God, my heart is steady. I will sing and praise you with all my being. 2 Wake up, harp and lyre! I will wake up the dawn. 3 Lord, I will praise you among the nations; I will sing songs of praise about you to all the nations. 4 Your great love reaches to the skies, your truth to the heavens. 5 God, you are supreme above the skies. Let your glory be over all the earth. 6 Answer us and save us by your power so the people you love will be rescued Psalm 108: 1-6

Unripe mangoes

I started my assignment, one blog deleted. I already  deleted my sari saring food blog, its a way of cleaning my dash board, too many blogs to hanlde and care for, so im going to do it one step at a time and now have deleted one. Hopefully i can clean them all.

Unripe mangoes, photo taken when i visited the green lagoon resort in cebu just near our hometown, I associate memories with food and this green unripe mango remind me of that place, my favorite, I love eating green mangoes with salt and chillies and soy sauce, its also best eaten with alamang or bagoong. 

While doing this blog cleaning I have decided to keep my travel blog and have a plan in mind what to do to make it beautiful and as interesting as possible.

Its september 1!

I greeted myself with pinoy chrismas songs, its september 1, the ber months has come! Remembering the King, the  Savior, the Lord should be glorified in these times of the year, the thought of sharing to those who are less in life. When we share our time to people we also share our lives. Christmas is about the love that was given to us and its all about spreading that love around us and even those away from us. Its september 1, a day where we can thank the Lord for another day, another life another chance to make a difference for Christ.

Its september 1, and Im glad I get the chance to rest my painful back, and rest from the stress of work. Here early in the morning blogging, reading the alerts and news from the earthquake last nice. Its just nice to hum and sing along with the christmas carols.

BC Blogger's Meme: What's inside my bag

H,mmm this is the first meme I joined in BC Blogger, Im glad that finally im able to participate and this is my meme number 1.

I had a similar post many years ago on this same blog. It was 13 things inside my bag. Now, I have seen how the 13 things went to many, wahehehhe, its the truth, I didnt not realize that it was that many for me to carry every day. So Here goes nothing.

 Presenting my simple and old bag, I dont have fancy bags but prefer  those non complicated tings, even when Im given fancy bags I just use them for a while and really go to the basics of using my old and simple black bag.

 The blue silicon case, I have here my card reader, my signs pens, highlighter, sharpener, my mechanical pencil, my office drawer keys, lip liner and puller, they all all in one case so that when I need them I just get them I know where to find them.

 I have my blue silicon case my hanky, my journal, and my small wallet for my cards. I still have room for my umbrella and my lunch box inside that simple old black bag;

 And here's the small wallet containing my cards : my atm card, bdo rewards card, land bank cash card, rcbc cash card and more.

My kikay kit, though not much of a kikay, I only have lipstick eyelash curler, lip gloss and eyeliner. Thats the basic stuff I wear when I report for work, nothing fancy, I seldom use powder and blush on and eye make up, I only use them when I feel like a lady, more often I just like the basic things.
