Danica, "meconium stained" pala tawag sa condition ng niece ko. Thanks so much for the information most especially for helping us pray. Salamat sa pag answer mo ng game na "6 weird things about me."
It feels great, by God's grace, that everything turns to be alright even we're hard up financially these days. Hindi pa na pirmahan yung payroll nila Nanay. Si kuya ala pang sweldo. Anyway, pera lang naman yan eh. Importante, everybody's alright and the family's still muddling through kahit mahirap. Well, ganyan talaga ang buhay.
Me and my mom were in Bacolod City yesterday. Lolo (grandfather) Noning invited us to attend a seminar sponsored by the Fellowship of Christians in the Governement (FOCIG) at the Grand Regal Hotel, Bacolod City. He shouldered our registration (Thanks a lot, Lo).
On our way, I talked to Nanay how having my niche as a blogger in the triple W made me a much better individual. I have a venue to talk to bunch of bloggers who are really smart, accomodating and amicable may it be young people or those in mid-life. I also told her that this could also give me a good opportunity to make money later on. And she answered that it is really worth having broadband connection at home.
Exactly, nay. Thanks to you and to my elder bro who pays the 999Php every month. Don't worry, i'll help out if hired in the job.
At the seminar, i was overwhelmed with the chance since that was the very first time i listened to a world-class inspirational speaker and a God-fearing and very sincere author of 11 life-changing books as "The Early Bird Catches the Worm" and "One Day at a Time", Mr. Francis J. Kong.
Mr. Kong (www.businessmatters.org) tackled "Life's Winning Points" in the seminar. Let me share those with you.
1. Get a calculator and learn how to count.
I plead guilty about this because I, myself, don't know how to count - count the good things in life. I often get engrossed to counting criticisms and negative others in my life which are really not worthy of my time and it will only make me miserable. We got to learn how to count as the hymn sings, "Count your blessings, name them one by one." That makes life the happiest.
2. Enjoy the mid-life.
Though i'm not yet in that stage, i got to prepare myself for the mid-life worries and setbacks. Will you?
3. Enjoy your greatest rewards with your family.
We always got to remember that our family should be next to our God.
4. Feed your mind with good thoughts.
Avoid mind poisoning.
5. Be kind to people.
Always wear the smile. I often reiterate the quote "the difference between a good and bad day is your attitude."
6. Be a teamplayer.
No man is an island. Tie up with people who can help you through tough times.
7. Fly high and know where to land.
There have been people who told us "Fly high and reach for your dreams." But how do we land? Where will we land?
I hope it helped you, somehow.
The seminar ended with a book sale and book signing by Mr. Francis. Lolo bought "One day at a time" book 4. He said, he'll just let me borrow after him because we didn't have enough money to buy another one. lol It's better, isn't it?
Nanay, Lolo and I went home with new hopes. Blessed to be exact.
Sana magagawa kong habits ang mga winning points na yun. Kaw rin ha?
