EMPOWERED MOM

Whenever good or bad things happen, and we have to show appreciation or disapproval, express happiness and initiate a positive encounter or even expressing apologies, it is but right to do it personally.  Most people who have become successful in their chosen fields know this for a fact. That when we do things and we do them in a personal manner, we are more successful and happier in the aftermath.

Take for instance, an invitation to become a judge for a certain contest, or in the most personal level, asking certain persons to become one of the sponsors in a christening or even in a wedding. The proper way is to take time to visit the persons involved and express your intentions positively, with humility. No one will surely say no to that. Do you ever notice that sometimes, whenever one is already a sponsor yet during the event itself, a proxy takes his or her place? Some people sometimes do that, especially if the intention was not personally delivered. It is but improper to simply send off the invitations but the ones on the invitations as part of the entourage is not even consulted or asked yet as to their roles. We can never assume that once it’s on the invitation, the persons concerned will like it automatically, or feel indebted or proud of being part of such.  Most often, if it’s not personally asked for, it is not sincere, thus, it also equates to non-attendance or proxy. That is why we can never blame them who will not at all show up..

When you are feeling so warm, don’t you wish you have a Temecula Air Conditioning? Well, I do sometimes. But it’s a good thing the orange house has lots of trees that surround it. That way, it is not so hot as it is humid elsewhere..

If you look at the photo, even the fishes could feel it too.. whew..

In the morning of August 28, we went to Roan Beach instead of celebrating Fiesta at home. Lili just came out from the hospital and would very much benefit from the c;lean fresh air of the beach. We spent the whole time  in water or by the shore building sand castles and boating..

A neighbor’s son died of Dengue. He was about River’s age. He had been in and out of the hospital two weeks before his death. Apparently, his fever went away and he was already feeling well, thus being dismissed from the hospital from where he was confined. He went to school, played and did [...]

A lot of Filipinos complain that their lives are too difficult. But when opportunities happen, some either allow it to slip away or give it to another as if it doesn’t matter. A gold investor once told me a story of a gold bullion and how it has transformed the lives of its owners. [...]

Everyone was excited about the pageant. Some even have links to a live stream, while others really had to wake up earlier than usual, or be absent for a very importnat engagement, just to be able to watch Miss Universe 2010. As for me, it was a really heart breaking, trying day that I [...]

My cousins and aunts who live in Australia report that they are confident with their incomes because of the government mandated income protection insurance australia. Something that we are way way behind in terms of financial assurances. I wonder if we will ever have something like that here in the Philippines sometime in the future.

I hope [...]

It’s August and next month is September. The “Ber” months that will end in December. What better way for us to prepare for Christmas now and buy early for our gifts. And instead of buying retail, we should opt for wholesale. That way, we get savings in magnanimous proportions. Like, I plan to give [...]
