Do you consider yourself a good person?

What makes you a good person? Being good means that you are not a self-centered person. You often feel compassion, you are selfless in so many ways, you are willing to sacrifice towards a greater cause and without expecting anything in return. Being good is a great step towards achieving a happy and a wonderful world that we all need!

Helping other people could not only mean, giving a smile to their faces, but putting a warmth reward within you! When you do something good, your brain also releases happy hormones that could bring a great feeling of accomplishment, thus helping your emotional health to stay healthy as well.

A verse to remember

Never give up with your good intentions, appreciated or not, remember that you don’t need to impress other people because you are already seen and appreciated by the most powerful one from above!

Always remember not to feed your mind with material things because it could make you forget being good or ethical. Instead, feed it with thoughts on how to help or make a way to lift and give hope to other people. Realized it, and live a more meaningful life, you will know that there is more to life, than those material things, and you’ll be able to live differently. You will be able to have a higher view on good relationship and character instead of being busy building fame, wealth, or achievements which sometimes the reason of having a selfish attitude. As a result, you will be able to live simply, but rich with the most fulfilling things that money can’t buy, like love, trust, and respect from other people.

Had anyone told you that you’re a great creation? I believed that you are! Whoever you are, whatever life status or the way of living you have, you, all of us, are very lucky! In the sense that we are breathing, and be able to wake up each morning. The gift of life, is something which we have to be thankful for, in each day of our lives.

Great creation

Psalms 139: 13 For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. -14 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.

From the moment you were in your mother’s womb, you’ve already proved that you are wonderful. You may be planned or unplanned by your parents, but one thing for sure is that you were planned by our creator, he wants you to live, to experience this world, and to fulfill what you are purposefully made for.

You cannot choose your parents because they are uniquely chosen for you. You are who you are because of a great reason. Love them, and love their imperfections, love them wholeheartedly. They also didn’t choose you either, but you were given under their care and protection. They might not be the perfect parents for you, but they were given for you perfectly.

Isaiah 44:2 “I am your creator, You were in my care even before you were born”

There might be times in your life that you feel like the world is against you. That as if you are unlucky, and as if you are alone, but remember that he will not leave you, he is always by your side. You’ve experienced all of those challenges to shape you, and to build you as a strong human being.

Are you living a purposeful life?

Occasionally, we experienced feeling down because we felt like we are being left behind. Every so often we compare ourselves to other people who had already achieved a lot in life, but we have to take note that their road is different from what we are taking. Their goals, plans, and purpose in life are different from ours. We are here on Earth because of a great reason, and it’s something that we should find. There’s nothing more fulfilling than serving our purpose, doing what is designed for us to do, and being happy about it.

We cannot deny that social media is very advantageous nowadays because it helps us connect with our loved ones, friends, relatives, and other people, it helps us to keep updated and entertained, and it helps us with our businesses, work, etc. But it shouldn’t be the reason to lose our self-esteem and to find ourselves being compared to other people. It should be a beneficial tool to help us with our life goals.

Proverbs 16:3 “Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.

Schedule a time to browse the holy bible. It offers hope, comfort, and strength, and it reminds us that God is with us through all the ups and downs of life. It teaches a lot about life, and it’s great guidance in finding our life’s purpose.

One example is the photo above, a “road”, it was made purposefully for a vehicle to pass through and to reach its destination, just like us human beings, we are designed for a great purpose. If you haven’t found it yet, it’s about time to pray for direction and always follow the will of God, trust and believe, by then you’ll be able to understand, realize and live a purposeful life.

What the pandemic taught us.

There are countless activities, goals, and travels that aren’t fulfilled or suspended because of the pandemic.

But we shouldn’t be sad because of that, the important is we are safe and still breathing!

But what are the things that the pandemic taught us?

  • Unity with our creator– Going to the church with the whole family. I always believed that the pandemic wants to give us all a lesson, and one of them is to strengthen our faith. Learn to pray and seek for the word of God. Yes, I know that praying can be made wherever you are, but to visit the holy church and pray inside feels more different. Let’s fulfill the journey of keeping our faith strong, and to lessen too much attachment with the physical world.
  • Love of family– appreciate the presence of your family beside you. Try to enjoy activities that you haven’t done before!
  • Enjoy every minute– If you want shopping, going to the mall, or somewhere else, then go for it! Walking and roaming around with your family at the mall, finding things to buy, like foods in the supermarket! There’s a great impact when you are outside interacting to different people because you’ve got to learn different attitude and personalities.
  • Celebrate every moment with your loved ones- do some outdoor activities with your family, laugh and play outside, freely and without worries! Let us learn to appreciate happy moments, create memories that we can keep as treasures.

  • Life is too short to pursue your goals and interests- don’t fear about failure! Remember, it’s better to fail than not trying it all.
  • Love the nature- consider nature as your friend that the only intention is to help you in living.

  • Take good care of your health and Life– the best gift and wealth that you will have in this world. Stay healthy by eating the right kind of food, exercising daily, doing proper hygiene, and taking care of yourself.
What are your summer notes to remember?

What are your summer notes to remember?

Summer notes

Every summer gives a beautiful story, a lesson to remember, moments to share with your loved ones and most specially countless memories to keep.

Summer used to be fun and enjoyable before the pandemic, and this time it’s quite hard to enjoy everything, but it shouldn’t be a reason to skip the happiness that summer can give you. Just always remember and keep in mind all the necessary health protocols and be able to follow rules in your community or to where you would want to spend summer!

Summer is waving! Here in our country, we only have wet (rainy) and dry (sunny) season, and these coming months would be dry season, which calls for summer! One way to enjoy it is to go out from the house, spend some time in the beach, going downtown, traveling to beautiful places, visiting tourist spots etc.

This warmth is truly irresistible! This is a fun time to explore and experience numerous adventures with the whole family.

If somebody can’t give you that sunshine, maybe you can give it? Avoid being selfish just because you don’t get it. Summer also is a good time to do activities like charity, gift giving or volunteering to organizations which helps the needy.

Always fill your life with love and care, be kind to yourself, enjoy everything as much as you can, you only live once, so live it the most.

Yes, we shouldn’t skip what life can give us and what traveling can offer. There is so much to love with traveling, it’s an activity which brings you closer to nature, and it enables us to see what our heart and souls would really enjoy!

Sometimes because we are too conscious about our skin we tend to skip the call of going out, only to find out that time is running, and we are aging. So don’t limit yourself in exploring beautiful places which will surely give you a remarkable experience that nothing can replace, but of course, it should be within your budget as it requires some amount of money and time.

Quotes to attract blessings

Early in the morning, before you open your eyes, make it sure to claim it already that it would be a good day for you! Learn new things and seek an opportunity to expand your area of expertise. Use your capabilities and strengths to better yourself and do the things which empowers you the most.

It’s always our choice to control our mood, choose to be happy instead of indulging too much in loneliness when time goes tough, and challenges seems to strike. Of course, it’s normal to be sad, lonely, or broken, but it won’t help you anyway if you remain being in the midst of darkness! So, what you need to do is to stretch that muscles on and release that hormones of happiness.

I know you have that dreams in life that sometimes seems to be impossible to achieve, but with determination and hard work you can make it happen. You’ll always have that innate ability to choose which way you want to go, you just have to continue the power of believing yourself!

Honestly, patience isn’t a given ability for many, but can always be done with training and focus. It is the ability to wait for something without affecting how you treat and relate to other people.

Always remember that you are beautifully made. You are what you are! Embrace it, and be thankful for being you. Never doubt yourself and do whatever you love to do.

We all have ups and downs, and it’s a natural cycle of life. Our mind is responsible for doing so, that’s why you should be mindful enough on how you think, react and deal with the flows of life.

Live life to the fullest.

This board note of a popular pizza restaurant was a good reminder to live life to the fullest.

Meaning you have to give it all, enjoy every moment while it last, have the passion and courage to do what really makes you happy, but always do it with an honest and genuine heart. That’s I think the most needed ingredients in life for you to live the life you ever wanted.

I took this photo because it got something to tell, for the restaurant it’s all about their food or pizza recipes, it deals on how they bake and cook, regarding their ingredients and their mission or vision, maybe.

Before the pandemic, countless customers really prefer to dine here. Not just because the food taste good, but also because the ambiance and crews are also good. Their menu list consists of pastas like spaghetti and carbonara, varieties of drinks to choose from, quick meals like chicken and rice, delightful desserts and of course their popular pizza recipes.

This pizza contains cheese, ham and pineapple tidbits. It really tastes delicious, from the pizza bread to the toppings.

It is compatible with fresh coconut milkshake that hubby bought at the nearby food stall. It’s also a refreshing and a healthier option to pair with your snack compared to sodas.

We also tried this chiffon roll of a Chinese bakeshop. It has peanut butter at the center and flavored with pandan. We ate this at home and what I did was to put more peanut butter on it. It has an option to put your favorite glazed toppings as the cake isn’t too sweet, but if you don’t like additional sweetness it’s alright, this chiffon roll already taste delicious as it is.

The ultimate recipe of life exists within things that oftentimes we neglect to appreciate.

An uplifting post to raise the morale of every woman.

A flower is a wonderful piece of nature, it’s a simple sign of love, purity, and beauty. I love seeing flowers as they remind me of the importance of women in society.

It was a beautiful day when I saw this flower lying beneath the green grass while going to the nearby food store. It looks fresh and seems like the flower has just fallen from its tree.

A flower can be compared to a woman, as she has a unique beauty, she is selfless and sweet. She is willing to sacrifice anything for the people close to her heart.

Please fill her with the love that she deserves, don’t take her for granted. She doesn’t need numerous material things, what she needs are your time and effort. It’s not a big deal for you to say something that will give her the assurance she needed, but for her, it means a lot. She loves to hear the words of love and appreciation coming from your mouth. She loves to feel that you really care and that you love her faithfully. Her beauty will fade, but her pure intentions of loving you won’t change, as long as the amount of love and attention you give occupies all the spaces in her heart.

Help her to bloom beautifully, and she will.

A woman who is living in a happy and well-nourished relationship is a woman who laughs and smiles beyond compare. She is always eager to talk and tell stories with you because she is comfortable, she is clingy because she felt so much spark at your side. Never take her for granted, love your woman! Love her imperfections as she loved yours. She may be moody sometimes and will experience feeling down, but always be willing to “pick her up”!

You can hear this line from a song that teaches kids to be thankful for the simple things that they have in life. Being thankful helps you to get through life’s challenges and difficulties, it brings joy which helps keep your mind and body healthy. Occasionally, we often neglect this word because we are too preoccupied with our daily activities until we realized that things aren’t the same anymore.

Things that you should be thankful for:

  • The gift of life- Thank God that you woke up to see another day in your life.
  • Good health and well-being- An essential component of being alive, is to be healthy and strong for you to do your daily task endeavors.
  • Your family, having a child or children- They are a blessing that we should be thankful for and appreciate. Many couples out there are aiming and struggling to have a child of their own.
  • Your faithful wife or husband- You are very lucky if you have this because it’s a good foundation for having a healthy family relationship.
  • Daily blessings such as food, shelter, clothing, things, etc.– Be thankful for the food you eat, the shelter where you live and feel safe, your clothing, and things that make you comfortable and work easily at home.
  • Life learnings and progressions- Be thankful that you were able to learn new things every day and were able to progress as a human being.
  • Having a job, income, or investments- We cannot hide the fact that money is also an essential thing for us human beings, without this how, would you buy food? How would you pay your bills, and how would you buy other important things which you needed in life?
  • Be thankful for the technology- Without it how would you easily connect to your loved ones from afar?
  • Nature and environment- Be thankful that you are still breathing some fresh air and see trees at the moment.
  • Loving relatives and true friends- Appreciate their presence, as true people are hard to find.
