I've just read recently that we need God's grace to carry out such activity....Well, to make my day off relaxing as well as rewarding....my first "TO DO LIST" should be "BONDING with GOD." I just thought of it while I'm writing my post now...

Starting tomorrow, my TO DO LIST:
1) Bonding with God 2) exercise............and the last one, BLOG and Thank GOD!!!

immiscible?

When I got home yesterday, my father asked me if I knew the word, "immiscible." He told me about my 10-year old cousin who gave him an idea of such word. My cousin said, "oil and water are immiscible or can't be mixed." Honestly, the word was strange to me and I can't recall that it was taught in any of my Science classes. Then I hastily searched through Google and found out that it does exist. With amazement, I just praised my cousin for introducing a new word to us.

Instant Reward!

Me & Weng

Thank God, it’s Friday! It’s been a stressful week so I deserve a treat. I quickly ordered for a breakfast value meal at Tropical Hut. I also got one spaghetti for my friend, Maricel.

It’s a yummy meal ­- fried rice, egg, longganisa and brewed coffee…I’m already full but still craving for a chocolate cake. Surprisingly, after two hours, my good friend “Weng” gave me a chocolate cake. It really made my day.

How amazing to immediately receive the reward for your simple act of thoughtfulness!

Careless or Careful?

On my way to work this morning, I was riding a TamarawFX (PUV) being ran by a reckless driver. A vehicular accident I heard from the news which happened two days ago is still fresh in my mind. Now, I'm apprehensive if I'll be reaching my destination safely. I was upset about the lack of discipline I witnessed almost daily on the road. Suddenly, I thought of a friend who's celebrating her birthday. Her name is Annazel and is one of the "Seekers". She works as an Occupational Therapist in New Jersey. She realized her vocation of caring for older people and special children.

Life is really a choice. Finding your purpose will determine your success. Would you choose to be careless like the driver or careful like the therapist?

Stop! Look! Listen!

On my way to work this morning, seeing the traffic lights suddenly stimulated my mind. Then I was able to organize my thoughts and put it into writing using these three words: Stop, Look and Listen. I’d like to share some of my insights:

Stop – We need to stop and take time-out from our daily tasks.

Look – We need to look within ourselves and at the people around us.

Listen – We need to listen to ourselves, to others, and to the little voice of God.

May these action words guide you in your daily life. Good Day!

Burnt-out?

I feel lazy to go to work. My patience to callers grows thinner each day. I easily get tired. I always want to extend my day off. It’s tough, overcoming these feelings of burnt-out. It’s when routine works seem to bore me and dissatisfy me. But I carry on with my day-to-day task because I need a job – to sustain myself and to support my family.

Then I chose to divert my unhelpful thoughts to my blessings in life and blurted out, “Thank God, I still have a job.”
