I like the words below, actually I think I first got it thru email, but only with the following sentences: “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure."I tried to search the Internet, and found below. There have been postings as well in the Internet that this was from Mr. Nelson Mandela, but actually these words were from the book, A

I've recently learned that to become financially secure - one must have invested right. Investing right comes in either two ways - putting your money on the right savings or on the right business. Right SavingsA lot of talks has currently been out there on investing in mutual funds and other high earning types. I still also have a lot to learn about this though - but I will be checking this

In the course of your life, you may find yourself going over a routine day by day - and find the day being over so fast. You find you have less time available to do all the things that need to be done. What makes this worst, is that you are unable to spend a good amount of time on things that matter most to your life. Knowing Your PrioritiesFirst and foremost, you should know what is important

I have recently been trying to search over the internet, websites that offer softcopies of bibles for free. I was able to download one - from bible.org. You are only required to register at their website - and downloading the file is free.I now have a bible in my computer that I can frequently browse at. This ensures that I get to receive the Word of God, even in the Digital World.Check

The irony of it all - is that when you get what you prayed for - you will at times take it for granted.For so long a time you have prayed hard for God to bless you - and now that you have what you want, you find yourself having less time (or maybe no more time at all) to pray. Thanking Him for the graces and praising Him seems to no longer fit your schedule - you feel you are so busy to even

About work and business: The priest said that in work, we should include God with it. Rarely does one succeed by mere human efforts alone - if one should however be able to do so, his gains are of worldly matters, and when Judgement Day comes - he will still be found wanting.The homily talked about the value of putting God in the center of our lives. In the end, the true measure of one's

It is holy week. My wife and I will be going to around 3 churches today to pray. We strive to keep God the center of our lives and of our relationship. We know that without Him, life would be meaningless.God first, all others come second...

I've also placed an order at ebooks.com. I downloaded a copy of the ebook, and the nice thing about it, is that I can also access it through the Internet - so anywhere I'll be, I can also read it.With ebooks.com, I also had to activate my adobe reader. I think this is for security purposes - I can only read the ebook at my computer - nowhere else.

I've recently made a purchase at Amazon.com and waiting for my shipment to be delivered. Had some problems - supposedly the items should have been with me last March 26.I communicated this to their customer service - at least, they were very responsive and very prompt - made things better for me. They considered my shipment lost, but at least they are willing to replace the order - have to wait

I intended this blog to be mainly about life, family and spiritual matters - and yet, I feel I have to incorporate more than just these - I want it to be reflective of anything and everything that happens to me. I'm changing the rules to be more true. Well, good luck to me!

As you may have known, I've prayed hard to God before on one thing I thought impossible - well now, I'm living my life with that answered prayer.I'm currently praying for God's blessing on another thing, and like before, I'll tell you once He'll answer it again... God bless us all!

Do you? Even if we do not see Him, even if we cannot touch Him - do you believe in a divine power that our senses cannot detect?Here is where our faith is required. With our faith in God, we surrender to our creator - the master of the universe. Can you imagine a world without order? This is only possible because there is a higher being that creates order.I believe that there is a God - one who

This is taken from the chapel I usually pray at - PEACE Chapel. Ever since I was in college, I frequent the place to pray here. When I ask God for something that I really want, I feel that I have to come here - and most of my prayers, mind you, were answered. Though, I think it wouldn't really matter at what place you pray - as long as you are sincere and if God sees it to be the right

This was taken about a year ago, when my wife and I went to Mountain View in Busay. This sight got my interest and I just had to take this shot. There are more pictures I took from Mountain View and I'll post them here in my succeeding entries.

This is a photo of SOS Children's Village Cebu. The place is very clean, well-maintained and well-managed.The organization takes care of the orphaned - and I should say, they do quite a good job. Its staff is friendly and accommodating.Its nanays - the ones who are assigned to a particular house and to a specific number of children are good-natured people as well. I've met one in my first

I fully recommend this movie for anyone who wants to be touched by God's presence in their lives.There were many touching scenes in the movie, and there were quotations from the word of God that one can truly learn from.

Crying for help! Have you been in this situation?I have been in such for a couple of times in my life. And yes, there were times I cried. But the man that I am, I quickly try to compose myself and tell myself to stop. Yet deep inside, I know I am hurting, but I also know that there is nothing to gain by continuing to live in hurt.I ask God for help. I continually pray the rosary, twice or

When we have problems,we feel down - and the world seems to be tough on us.We feel hopeless and discouraged,and seemingly feeling that we are of no value to the world.Yet when there are people who care for us,if there are people who love us,our world becomes brighter - and more colorful,as if our problems are not that big anymore.This is perhaps the reason why,if we have family and friends who

When everything seems to start to go your way,we feel God's presence in our lives.Yet when some things go wrong,we feel God has abandoned us.This is a fact of life,and many have felt this.It is indeed very tempting to doubt,when we feel God is not on our side.Yet we should also ask,would God really abandon us?Or do we just think this to be so?Perhaps we should take a moment to reflect,and think

When it rains, it pours- don't you think so?Too often we feel we have been left out in receiving God's bountiful blessings,as a good amount of time seems to be absent of good things that happen to us.And yet, there are times that things go on smoothly,and blessings abound from left to right as if God's eyes has suddenly set upon our happiness.Life indeed is a mystery - most of the times,and we

So often we go through life, completing work related or business related tasks - that we often find ourselves having already taken our own family for granted. Our friends and co-workers get the better deal than our families - as we get to spend a lot more time with them than with our own family members. Sometimes our better half may just simply keep quiet about their needs, but deep down inside

And so we might think that God at times forgets about us,but one must take comfort that history never showed God not delivering on promises He makes.So why doubt His plans for us?When we should know that He only wants the best for us.All we need is faith....Believe in His promises and lean on His wisdom.We should learn to wait for good things He has in store for us,for when that time comes,

Too many people seem to go on with their lives, not knowing what direction they want to take them. Even successful people have this problem - none is exempted actually.And those who may consider themselves average achievers in life thought that they were the only ones with this issue.

"We know that in everything, God works for the good of those who love Him, whom He has called according to His plan.."We must learn to trust God, and believe that everything that happens in our life, He has so allowed it.
