BRO, IKAW ANG STAR NG PASKO (You are the Star of Christmas, Bro)

The Philippines had undergone a terrible Ordeal as typhoon Ondoy and Pepeng swept the country, claiming innocent lives and destroying everything that crosses it's path. Everyone's trying to recuperate, though the damage has been somewhat hard to recover. Christmas is approaching, and it's difficult to accept that the upcoming holiday would not be as joyful compared to the last years. The ABS-CBN, a premier television station in the Philippines (Channel 2), has made an effort though to encourage us that no matter how many tragedies we might experience we can still rise up and move on.

Their featured Station ID for Christmas, " bro, ikaw ang star ng Pasko (bro, you are the star of Christmas)" reminds us that the real meaning of the season is Jesus Christ (the term bro was taken from the popular drama series on prime time "May Bukas Pa" -a modified edition of Marcelino Pan Y Vino. The miraculous child Santino refers the Lord Jesus as "bro"). The station ID features the Station's most popular stars, joined with the people from broadcast media and local actors.

Indeed, with Christ, we have everything. No matter how messed our lives are, no matter how broken our hearts are because of the circumstances. Thanks for reminding us!

AND THE MONEY WILL FOLLOW

I was talking to a cousin last night at another cousin's debut party. There was nothing really to talk about but this was a cousin whom I haven't had the chance to mingle with for quite some time. I guess it was the appropriate venue to do some chit chats with her to make up for the long time we hadn't seen each other. She's gotten a bit of weight, compared to last time I saw her. Oh, I also noticed the glistening braces that she has and that completes the comparison scheme on her "before and after". She was inviting me to her condo... what? A condominium??? She gotta be kidding me. She was just a year older from me but now she has a property? I, too had a property that was just acquired this year. However, it was just a humble townhouse at an area not so far away from the apartment we were renting-and it will take me 30 years to pay. I don't mean to say that she doesn't deserve it... but I was just simply amazed and quite envious of what she had acquired. A plush condo... a dream property everyone wants to have. How did she get it? She wasn't a part of any syndicate or mafia or what not. She was a member of Multi-Level Marketing business, something that she has been inviting me for a year but I always turned her offers down. Now, with the braces, the financial resources, and a property, she really is talking.

I always admit that I am "mukhang pera". I am open and honest with my friends and family about wanting to have lots of money. I would venture any opportunity to create money..from networking to real estate. However, with things going on-from rejections to inadequacies; the dream of prosperous life in financial terms is starting to become as just a dream. I do wish every effort that I make translates into monetary success. I even created this blog to monetize. Thanks to my friend who happens to be my boss at work for helping me. I earned cool cash but when recession took place, all opportunities lost.

They say that being rich starts with the mind. You should be the one to convince yourself that you are rich, no matter what status are you in right now. I remember watching a TV program were the speakers encourage people to dream of wealth. They say that money really is not the root of all evil. Everyone wants money. With money, we can visualize things that we want that someday will be on our possession. I remembered one speaker where she overuses her gestures and facial expressions over the money matter saying: "ay, gusto ko ng pera, maraming maraming pera! (I want money, lots and lots of money!). I welcome wealth into my life!" Funny but it's true. It will just depend however on how we manage money.

Another point though, we want money and we find ways on how to have one. We apply for jobs, venture any available and possible opportunities. But, are we doing these things just for the sake of having one? There was a hard hitting lesson on me about all the things I had experienced. We've got to love first the things that we are doing AND THE MONEY WILL JUST FOLLOW. We have to put interest on it, we have to enjoy it. We have to search on what's available in us and not on the things that we are not capable of.

Now, I am starting to love blogging (after a year or so..). Will more money follow? Haha, I really do hope so.

WHO HAS MORE SINCERITY?

Disclaimer: This post is only intended for entertainment purposes and not for making any political propaganda. I just can't resist to post this funny email that I have received from a colleague. I might be sued for this or get shot in the head, for worse, (haha!) upon putting the Philippines's most powerful official in public ridicule. Now may I ask, who is more sincere? :P

GOD'S FACEBOOK

It was a rainy Saturday morning and our shift is about to end. I was browsing my outlook messages from my office mates and I found one that I hadn't read (I usually don't read spam messages) .I was about to delete it when I suddenly managed to examine the contents. It was about the supposed "Facebook account" of God. I thought it was just a stupid account made by anyone who can't do anything on their lives but upon examining the way it was created I can say that it was done cleverly. It recalls the account were God created everything, or in the book of Bible it was the Genesis part. Try to look at the pics and you will surely be amused and impressed at the same time! Cool!
