The Day I Said, YES!
After months of dating, he finally popped the question and she said, YES! And their Facebook status went from being Single to In a Relationship. Beautiful love story, isn’t it? Ooops. Sorry to burst your bubble, but that’s not what we’re going to talk about in this article.. 🙂 Instead, let’s talk about saying YES to use our gifts to serve others. For the purpose of this article, let’s assume that your gift (what you do best) is also your passion (what you enjoy doing the most). “When you are asked to use your gifts to serve others, say YES!” I was nodding in…

While Waiting…
When I learned that I will have my annual physical exam (APE), the first thing that came to mind was, “Whew! I finished another fantastic year with my employer. Time flies!” The next thought didn’t excite me, “Uh oh! I will have to endure the long lines and long waiting time again…” Waiting can be quite taxing, especially when your mind is preoccupied with other more important things to do. I’m sure you’ve experienced “idle times” when you were stuck in traffic or while waiting for your turn in the dental clinic or while you were waiting for your order in a restaurant, etc. So what…

Are you brewing up something exciting?” I quickly replied, “Oh, I’ve been very busy lately. I will find time to update my blogs.” At the back of my mind, I knew that I’ve so many things to do (after work). There are articles I have to write, speeches I need to compose and deliver, book drafts I want to complete asap, a talk I need to revise to tailor fit my target audience, and the list goes on. Just thinking about this lengthy To…

Give Love to Sendong victims
Merry Christmas, my Dear Friends and Readers! 🙂 How’s your Christmas? I hope you had a sweet time with your family and friends. Its back to work or back to business for many of us. As we continue our journey in this joyous Christmas season, may we continue to remember our kababayans from CDO and Iligan. With the few photos and news coverage I witnessed, it broke my heart to see a child crying, a mother carrying the lifeless body of her child… We could only imagine the pain they’re experiencing. I believe that many of us already gave our donations in one way or another. We could…
