What Are You Willing to Give Up?
Last Monday, our theme for our Toastmasters‘ meeting was “Giving Up“. For a while, I wondered why our VP for Education came up with the theme on Giving Up. I smiled as I realized the theme was very timely for the Holy Week. As Christians and as Catholics, we are encouraged to take this season to fast, to pray more, to love more, to reflect… Bo Sanchez, the Founder and Leader of the Light of Jesus Community, wrote an eBook called 7 Days of Prayer and Fasting which you may download for free here .

Relax, and Great Things Will Happen!
My two-week vacation is about to end and I’m pretty happy with what transpired during my vacation. I got the chance to go home to our province to recharge, play with my siblings, and bond with my Papa. It feels good to breath fresh air, to take time to smell the flowers, to really, really relax. Part of what I did during my vacation was to finish another book. I’m a writing addict, I know. Before the Christmas holidays, Jay Mclean – an international best-selling author – approached me and discussed with me the possibility of writing a book together. (By the way, Jay Mclean is a…

(Note: The title was taken from the latest talk series of Bo Sanchez at the Feast PICC. What I am going to share with you were my notes and reflections from the talk series as well). Nope, I’m not talking about Vampires Edward and Bella of Twilight Saga. Edward Cullen: gentle yet strong, brave yet calm, loving, highly disciplined, mysterious, phlegmatic, choleric, and the list goes on… His character is so endearing! Okay, enough about Edward Cullen. Let’s talk about the difficult people in our lives or what Dr. Albert J. Bernstein coined as emotional vampires. Emotional Vampires “Not just annoying people, but darkly seductive. Emotional Vampires draw…

Money Management Talk by Francis Kong
Last week, I attended a Money Management Talk by one of the most sought-after motivational speakers in Asia — Mr. Francis Kong. The talk was conducted in a prestigious hotel in Bonifacio Global City and was attended by over a hundred participants. Here were the highlights of his talk (as how I understood them). Money is central. In a good-humored way, he said that “Someone who says that money is not important doesn’t have money.” Money is the most talked about issue. The Bible has about 2.000 references on money and possessions. Money is one of the most pressing issues that concern married couples. Money is an…
