Are you looking for love in the wrong places?
Happy Monday! Last weekend, I met someone. The moment I saw him, I fell in love with him. He had a beautiful smile and he looked charming even from afar. Then our eyes met. It was love at first sight. I felt the connection was instant and authentic. It was a magical moment. I smiled at him and he flashed back his biggest smile at me. On Saturday afternoon, I saw him sitting on the bench in the middle of a beautiful, lush forest garden. He smiled at me so I walked up to him and sat beside him. And that’s when we really bonded. Close open, close open. Pick…

Here’s What Success Requires
Happy Monday! How was your weekend? Hope you had a beautiful one. Last Saturday, I gave a talk on The Power of Giving to a group of financial advisors. Right after my talk, I proceeded to Saisaki to meet some of the new students of my online course The 90-Day Book Writing Challenge. They were the ones who enrolled on Day 1 when I opened the registration. Here’s our group photo which I grabbed from Jonas’ FB. I was so amazed at everyone. Jonas is an OFW based in Oman who happens to be on vacation in the Philippines. He traveled by bus from Tuguegarao City for 15 hours and another 15 hours…

2018 Year In Review: Gratitude List
How are you? One of the habits I do on New Year’s Eve is to review how my year went and write down the blessings God has given me. In other words, I write down my gratitude list. I did the same for 2017 which I shared here. Gratitude. I love waking up in the morning thanking God for His goodness. On a daily basis, I have my own “Gratitude Party, Gratitude Walk, and Gratitude journal.” For 2018, I am so grateful with how God has blessed me. He has blessed me beyond my imagination. Truly, He is a God who loves us so much and who is faithful…

Let’s Talk About Your Dreams
Happy Wednesday , Sometime in October 2013, I was deciding whether to buy myself a brand new 11” Macbook Air which I’ll use to write books or attend a 3-Day Super Conference in Shangrila Mactan, Cebu. That time, I just “retired” from my corporate job and I was also celebrating my birthday in a few days. It was a choice between a writing gadget and a learning opportunity. I chose the latter. I invested around P60,000 for the 3-day conference in Cebu. That didn’t include the airfare yet. Costly? You bet. Painful? Yes, definitely! Because I knew I invested P60,000 for a 3-day conference, I made sure every minute I spent in…

What will you focus on this 2019?
Happy Monday! 🙂 About a year ago, I was in Ortigas for our Toastmasters Officers semi-annual planning. My role was to share how I was going to conduct the team building activities that will happen in 3 weeks time. During the meeting, I was a bit distracted by what was in front of me. One box of kitkat! At that time, I was very hungry. I love chocolates but I was trying to reduce my chocolate intake! Woah! “Should I eat kitkat? Okay, just one. Should I eat one more? I’m still hungry? To eat or not to eat?” Those thoughts were playing in my mind. I was distracted. Have…

Do you want to travel more in 2019?
Happy Monday! 🙂 In just a few days, we’ll celebrate the birth of Christ. Let me greet you a Merry, Merry Christmas! 🙂 How would you like to travel to your dream destination for free? Let me share with you a little secret about how you can get round trip tickets for free! Last December 2017, I went on an all-expense paid trip to Dubai, plus a professional fee for my speaking engagement. I was with my best friend, her mom, and her mom’s best friends. There were five of us. But that’s not the secret I’m talking about. Here’s our photo at Dubai Desert Safari. The five of us loved Dubai so…

How to Write a Book Even if You’re Not a Writer
Have you always wanted to write your own book? Surveys say that almost everyone dreams to write a book. What’s keeping you from writing your first book? Maybe, you may have any or all of these excuses. “I’m not a writer.” “I don’t know how to write a book.” “I’m too young (or too old) to write a book.” “I don’t know anyone (from the publishing world).” “No one knows me.” “I’m too busy to write.” I was never a writer. And I’ve had all the excuses I mentioned above. When I was still in school, Math was my favorite subject. Back then, every time…
