Singapore Travel 2012

Singapore Travel 2012
Second time around

Once again I visited Singapore. The place policy & regulation is my dream to my country. They have the system for everything which I believe the Philippine government is aware of. The country maybe small compared to to Philippines, but I strongly believe that through proper planning and implementation together with the political will, we can achieve the dream that we want for our country. Philippine people should help the country to prosper and be more organize. Discipline is important and we need it badly.

I hope someday we can be like Singapore in terms of progress and discipline.

My Favorite Chicken Rice

"Do you know that I am so happy? Really really happy. Because for the first time we ate together and to the place that I love."

Anyway, one thing that I love in Singapore is the Chicken Rice. For me, you can never go wrong in choosing Chicken Rice, but of course you have to taste also some of their foods. If you visit the place and eating chicken is not against in your practice or anything, I recommend chicken rice. 

Do you want to be Happy & Rich

All of us want to get happy and rich, right?
But what are you doing to become one?
How do you define "richness and happiness in life"?


         Be Happy and live a healthy life!
         Share and give to others.
         Open your mind and be "positive thinker"
         Invite "Happiness, Love, Prosperity and abundance"
         Focus in your dreams
         But first and foremost .. God above all!

Start now and live a Happy Life :)

Pero syempre gusto ko lagi panalo kasi nag pray ako!

Mabuhay ka!!

A walk to remember that I will never forget. 
It was a great adventure and exploration as we travel in the place that we do not know.
The thrill, the laughter and the happy feelings that I experienced will be in my heart forever. 


I will never forget all that great moment... 


I'll remain positive and the journey will continue.. 

What will make us happy?

People nowadays do a lot things to make them happy. According to one person that I have talked to, the price of happiness is high. We all want happiness, fulfillment and satisfaction, right? But are we doing the right act to achieve it (including me)?

So to begin with what I want and be happy, I will share my personal strategy or what I should do.

1. Is to be physically fit and healthy – I want to be healthy so I can do the things that I want. I want to have a regular exercise and eat the right food as much as possible. We have this saying that Health is Wealth. Go to the doctor once In a while or if needed. Knowing ourselves is better than we do not know at all
2. A healthy and happy relationship or family. If you love the person then you will be happy. No perfect person as well as relationship but if there is love and God in relationship, I believe that it will go right. Challenges will arise, there is no doubt because it is part of life, But because we “love” we can find ways. Don’t you worry while searching, the energy & the power of universe will be there to help us. It is God's gift!
3. A fulfilling job and non stressful work. Job is just a part of our life, not our entire life. I always believe that we can do things right and succeed if we do things right. Family and health is important, so we should bring balance. 
4. Gratitude. Wake up in the morning & always feel good. Look at the beauty of what we have and thank the blessing that God has given & the blessings to come.
5. Find time to relax. Travel and see the beauty of the world. Explore and learn from the other people ways. Don’t get the bad ones!
6. Be positive. It is a must. Strive smartly to reach all the goals and what we want. Avoid negative people. Be inspired all the time.
7. Thank God for all his blessing. God above all.

Always feel good. Smile and be happy. ☺

Looking at the brightside of life

Wow! It has been a while and I am back to blogging again. Once again looking at the bright side of life. Thanking God for all the blessings and the happenings in my life whether it was bad or good one. It was a wonderful experience though somethings were not meant to happen.


Shifting gears again for a new challenges though this is a tough one. Am I ready! Yes of course!
Dream, move & act! Stay positive!!

Why I keep on thinking of her??  I hate this feeling. I think I like her. But She said I am elderly.. 

Magkikita din tayu muli..



So happy to be back in writing.

Above All

Above all powers above all kings
Above all nature and all created things
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man
You were here before the world began

Above all kingdoms above all thrones
Above all wonders the world has ever known
Above all wealth and treasures of the earth
There's no way to measure what You're worth


Crucified laid behind the stone
You lived to die rejected and alone
Like a Rose trampled on the ground
You took the fall and thought of me
Above all

Above all powers above all kings
You were here
Above all nature and all created things
Before the world began
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man

You took the fall and thought of me
Above all..

Beautiful Christian Song.. It touches my heart..

Kambas ng Lipunan

This picture/painting touched my heart so much..
Painting of "Last Supper" in different way.
We all know that our country need help
and a lot of people need a hand..

May God touch the heart of all
those who are so corrupt and share it
to those who need it.

I hope the government should be
“sincere” in all their programs
for a better & good country.
I believe that we can achieve it.

Philippines is a beautiful country..
I hope everyone will help one another
In restoring this beautiful & blessed
Land.

by the way.. there is a presentation in

You Tube about this "Kambas ng Lipunan"

You may try to watch it if you want..

Way Back Into love

I've been living with a shadow overhead
I've been sleeping with a cloud above my bed
I've been lonely for so long
Trapped in the past, I just can't seem to move on

I've been hiding all my hopes and dreams away
Just in case I ever need em again someday
I've been setting aside time
To clear a little space in the corners of my mind
All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
Oh oh oh

I've been watching but the stars refuse to shine
I've been searching but I just don't see the signs
I know that it's out there
There's got to be something for my soul somewhere
I've been looking for someone to shed some light
Not just somebody just to get me through the night
I could use some direction
And I'm open to your suggestions

All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart again
I guess I'm hoping you'll be there for me in the end
There are moments when I don't know if it's real
Or if anybody feels the way I feel
I need inspiration Not just another negotiation

All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart to you
I'm hoping you'll show me what to do
And if you help me to start again
You know that I'll be there for you in the end

Drew Barrymore & Hugh Grant

When I Met You

There I was an empty piece of a shell,
Just mindin' my own world;
Without even knowin' what love and life were all about.

Then you came,
You brought me out of the shell;
You gave the world to me
And before I knew,
There I was so in love with you.

You gave me a reason for my being
And I love what I'm feelin'
You gave me a meaning to my life,
Yes, I've gone beyond existing
And it all began when I met you.

I love the touch of your hair
And when I look in your eyes
I just know, I know I'm on to something good

And I'm sure my love for you will endure
Your love will light up my world;
And take all my cares away with the aching part of me.

You gave me a reason for my being
And I love what I'm feelin'
You gave me a meaning to my life,
Yes, I've gone beyond existing
And it all began when I met you.
You taught me how to love,
You showed me how tomorrow and today
My life is diff'rent from the yesterday;
And you, you taught me to love
And darling I will always cherish you
Today, tomorrow and forever.

And I'm sure when evening comes around
I know we'll be making love like never before;
My love, who could ask for more?

Im in Love With You .....

Desiderata

Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs;
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment
it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.

An old but very beautiful poem...
It will lift you up somehow.. It will inspire you..

Sometime in our life, we were hurt by someone we love or we want to love..
sometimes our friends, or sometime those who are close to us..
But the thing is , even though we were hurt by those people & we feel that we are alone

God will be there, he will give us strength, hope and love..
To face a new beginning..
He gave us Morning to see that darkness is over and light is here…
A beautiful and colorful rainbow after the rain..
A beautiful butterfly in the flowers..

A true friend will come in times of need..
We can never stop the challenges and problems…
Even though sometimes in our mind it is possible.. but its not..
Just always be Happy..
Be positive..

Someday, somehow, you will know the answer Why it cannot be..
We will know the purpose and the reason why it happen..
The reason for everything..
Don’t count how many times you fall,
Just Stand up again and face the new challenges..
Though sometime its tough and hard to do..
God will not leave us...

Just continue to go on. Continue to Hope..
Have faith and love...



Look at the bright side of life

Awiting Alay Ko Sa Iyo... Sana maramdaman mo...

Narito, ang Puso ko
Inaalay lamang sa'yo
Aking pangarap kahit saglit
Ang Ikaw at Ako'y magkapiling

Minsan pang makita ka
Damdamin ay sumasaya
Lungkot napapawi
Buhay ko'y ngingiti
Sa sandaling pag-ibig mo'y makapiling

Puso ko'y narito
Naghihintay sa pag-ibig mo

Ikaw lamang ang inaasam

Tanggapin mo ang puso kong narito

Hanggang matapos ang kailanman

Bawat kilos mo't galaw

Minamasdan, tinatanaw

Laging nangangarap, kahit saglit

Ang ikaw at ako'y magkapiling

Kahit di malaman o maintindihan

Kahit na masugatan ang puso

Naghihintay sayo
Maghihintay ako...

WHY GOD GAVE US FRIENDS

GOD knew that everyone needs
companionship and cheer,
He knew that people need someone
whose thoughts are always near.

He knew they need someone kind
to lend a helping hand.
Someone to gladly take the time
to care and understand.

GOD knew that we all need someone
to share each happy day,to be a source of courage
when troubles come our way.

Someone to be true to us,
whether near or far apart.
Someone whose love we'll always
hold and treasure in our hearts.
That's Why GOD Gave Us Friends

Think of this.. "The Alchemist"

“It’s this: that a certain point in our lives, we lose control of what’s happening to us, and our lives become controlled by fate. That’s the world’s greatest lie.” – The Alchemist (Paulo Coelho)

"You MUST always know what it is that you want."

Remember that wherever your heart is, there you will find your treasure. – The Alchemist (Paulo Coelho)

The secret is here in the present. If you pay attention to the present, you can improve upon it. And, if you improve on the present, what comes, what comes later will also better. Forget about the future, and live each day according to the teachings, confident that God loves his children. Each day, in itself, brings with it an eternity. - The Alchemist (Paulo Coelho)

Moving On... Changes

People want changes..
People want development...
Changes happen.. whether you like it or not...

"No good permanent position" Kevin Kostner - The Bodyguard

Changes.. bound to happen.. inevitable..

So why live life in sadness? Enjoy Life..

This is how I motivate myself.. when I feel sad & alone.. (Do I feel Sad? Do I look like one, hehehe)

Waste Life is only a waste if you think you are alone -

Somewhere Somehow

Standing in our silence
I hear my heart beating
And if only I could choose
Id stay here with you
But hold me ti’l the train is leaving
Somewhere down the line
After you’re gone from sight
Our love will be the same
And, whispering your name,
Ill cling to you with all my might

Let me dream of you
But its true
And wake me up when this is over
Love will be there when this is over and

Chorus:
Somewhere far beyond today
I will find a way to find you
And somehow thru the lonely nights
I will leave a light in the dark
Let it lead you to my heart

There’s a love inside us
Deep down inside
That goes without saying
Don’t say a word
But Ill tell you just the same
And that love will fan the flame
And that flame will warm the heart that’s waiting

You are mine and Ill wait for you my love
You are mine it may take some time
Even if it takes a lifetime
Tell me you’ll wait

And somewhere alone
I will be praying you home
I know that somehow our love

Our love will lead me to your arms

Michael Smith and Amy Grant

MALUNGKOT BA ANG CHRISTMAS MO?

Its Christmas time once again..
Lahat ay busy sa pag shopping gifts.. exchange gift dito, exchange gift doon..
Party dito, Party doon, kainan, dito, may kainan doon..
Ang resulta paubos na ang Pera.. hala.. gastos pa..whew!!!
Ano ba talaga ang tunay na dahilan ng Pasko? Ano ba ng diwa na nakapaloob dito?
Tama ba gumastos ng gumastos para Sumaya lang?
Masaya ka ba naman, o masaya habang nasa kasayahan lang
E paano pagkatapos?
Yung bang dapat mong pasayahin, napasaya mo ba?
Nag share ka ba sa mga talagang dapat bigyan?
Sana ngayun paskong ito, maalala natin ang tunay na diwa ng Pasko
Ang pagdiriwang ng kaarawan ni Jesus Christ,
Ang tumubos ng mga kasalanan natin…

Hindi na kailangan maging malungkot kung paubos na ang pera,
Dahil gumastos ng gumastos..
Trabaho na ulit, ipon ulit, baguhin ang pag uugali..
Lalo na sa paghawak ng pera

Huwag malungkot kung wala ka pang lovelife
Darating din yan.. malay mo makikita mo na sya mamaya lang =)
Basta positive ka lang..
Malay mo yan ang blow out sayo ni Jesus..

Be happy na..


Merry Christmas sa inyo lahat..

Christmas is not Christmas without Jesus Christ

FORGIVENESS – TO OTHERS & TO YOURSELF

Its been a long while since I stopped blogging.. & here I am again..

Sometimes in our life, there are people who hurt are feelings deeply, truly & madly.. (sounds familiar).. & it keeps hurting inside. Sometimes it’s a member of a family, a friends or love one.. (sakit noh).. sometimes a promise of heaven & earth from someone special and dear to us.. then suddenly they will leave you hanging in the middle of nowhere.... & sometimes a betrayal from someone you love.. but even though I keep on saying I already forgive the person who hurt me deeply, often times I remember what the person did to me, its annoying.. grrrrr.

Well, I think if we forgive the person who hurt us, we should also put God in it. That God may help us ease the pain, little by little. Accepting the reality and the truth. That there are things that is really not meant to happen, whether we like it or not. In this so called life, everything has a purpose, who knows the time, who knows what will happen next, except God, He knows everything. In just one click, everything will stop, and for some it’s the end.. but for those who believe in God, the plan or purpose is happening. I believe that we should also learn how to forgive our self, our mistake, and move on. Sometimes the feeling of guiltiness resides in our heart & in our mind that bothers us for quiet a time, for a long time or even in our entire life. Jesus died for us, for our sins, he suffered a lot for us, so, we should also forgive our self & reflect, learn and continue to Love & live, continue to hope. God will help us to get thru. I know & I believe in it. Hope this will make sense..

God bless..

Hope

I was in the middle of nowhere
Thinking of where to go
Standing alone against the driving rain
As I search for the happiness
The dawn was listening to my heart
The light begins fade The stars smiles at me again
As the moon shines on hope

I ask my angel why
As tears began to fly
Angel smile was so uplifting
Until when will you stay

My angel was so good
He let hope shines on me..
My God from above is smiling at me
As he gave his Angel & Hope

To Shines & Guide upon me.
One day I’ll see the light
One day you will know why
That God is always there
Preparing for his plan
Because he knows the best
For each one..

THE PHILOSOPHY OF HAPPINESS

I remember my college day best friend Russell Mark who already passed away way backed April 1993. He was so sweet, very determined, goal oriented, friendly, dedicated, very accommodating, and much more he was like an dictionary when it comes to English lessons. He was good in programming. We always ate together during lunch time. But his life is so short. Of course we missed him. Anyway his father sent me an article about the Philosophy of Happiness.. I just want to share this one article…

THE PHILOSOPHY OF HAPPINESSBY RODOLFO CEMENTINA CELESTIAL
HAPPINESS has been man's infinite goal to attain ever since he came into existence. He was created in the Garden of Eden without anything behind his past that will linger in his mind. He was created as an adult without neither any childhood nor any experience of adolescent. Just a man in the center of everything. And everywhere is a good thing. Yet peace of mind is in him. But then, when loneliness came, he began to feel the need of companionship. He couldn't live alone. A feeling of dependency. Then came his mate and they live happily from day to day. Until one-day doubt developed into their minds as to their existence and what else there is. Although contentment is within their reach, they couldn't just go along without satisfying that crave for more...satisfaction of the doubts. Peace of mind looses its strength when doubt begins. It bothered them until it is no longer gone.

In this great story ever written, we see that man is always in the state of discovery. Although he knows that he has everything possibly in his hands, he will sacrifice what he has as long as his eagerness is satisfied; whether it is bad or good for him. Future will tell. There is no point of argument as to the knowledge of bad or good, because man is created for goodness. However, it is a matter of fulfilling what is inside his state of mind. For it is presumed that man attain his temporary peace of mind if his yearning is done. Which mean whether it will be his downfall or rise it doesn't matter for as long as he gets what he desires` This is also true to world leaders king, dictators and emperors.
Man begins at birth. He always have the childhood experience. But, who can recall what he did when he was two years old? Even your parents cannot relate now what you did after a span of thirty years. Because our faculty of memory is active only for ten years, not unless a particular experience influence our present life. And yet it is not accurate especially if the state of being keeps changing from time to time. You might well say, that you want to remember those happy moments when you were young. But it belongs to the past, it will never come back. You will try to bring it back, it will never materialize, Because the participants during those days are no longer the same. They now play a different role. So are you. Even the tune the you once sing, and now keep humming seems do not belong. Is it because of the time? Of the people? Or you? Or the essence?

HAPPINESS IS A STATE OF MIND. It is not even the feeling of the heart although it is the feeling of the soul. It is the spirit within us that controls our moods, our life. It even controls our youth. No one can ever say that he have not experience to be happy. But when was it? Can you still remember the time when you are truly really happy? Is happiness laughter? Is it beautiful things? Or is the fulfillment of goal? Is success happiness? Happiness is not a feeling. It is not even success, for success has no end because it is always the beginning, it is not even the beautiful things around you, for it wears off. And it is not laughter either for it has no sound. It is you as one.

HAPPINESS IS LIKE A CHILD. He lives a life of no pretensions. If he wants to cry because of pain he does. Whatever he wishes to do he does. If he wants to know about something, he discovers and learns from it. He is free. But when he is being bawled or restricted, that is the time he feels that he is no longer free. A morality that is being dictated to him, not his own, but spooned and nailed into his mind. And yet these ethics guide him in his life, moreso, other principles made by him to domesticate his life. Man begins to be lonely when he is being suppressed or ruled against his will. Although it had convinced him, his opinion remains.
Love is happiness. It is also a state of mind and state of the heart. How can it be bliss to be in love? Is it a matter of sexual adventure? Sex is an exhibition of love in its beauty. Sex is not lust. Love is something else. It is a mutual relationship between two parties, irregardless of gender, status, age or whatever physical attributes. Somehow there must be a receiver and a donor. Love cannot be taken if not given. Giving it away can only possess love.

Man’s life is dominated by his faith. For man cannot live without this factor. Faith is not religion but it influences the inner emotion of man. The tenet that he receives from religion, a belief that binds the spiritual nature of man to an omnipotent being, which makes him dependent and responsible, together with certain practices that go with it. Faith is a belief without physical evidence.or sometimes a confidence in one being, statement or anything as trustworthy. And yet if there is no faith, there is no religion. Faith is happiness. Although it makes man dependent and mortal, it merely develops his wisdom toward his fellowmen. It encourages him to discover himself. To look beyond unto him to find out what makes him live and what will make him die. Faith is also tomorrow, thus happiness always remain with us until tomorrow.

Being alive is happiness. Watch a baby as old as 7 months. He doesn’t have any intriguing emotions, nor does he care for anything, nor does he ask. His mere concern is self-survival. Since birth he strives for existence without any knowledge of it, maybe instinct, but he is dependent from his parent or somebody else more able than he is. He is confident that when he cries a supporting loving hands will be extended to care for him. And yet he is happy because he doesn’t have any inhibition or emotional block. He doesn’t entertain anger nor hate as long as attention is given to him, a new life is rejuvenated to a new dimension. Thus, man must know how to live, and how to control and utilize his emotions and his weaknesses. Better to open his character and submit his ego for everybody to know him better. Person who confesses his secrets to his best friend is happy and secure person. Because he unloaded the burden in his chest. No one can dare admit knowing thyself without exposing himself first who he really is. Peace is done when truth is outspoken.

And now there is no real happiness but a temporary feeling of remorse. We have everything under control until the time we found out that time, life, future, even our breath is not self powered but it is only for our management and adjustment. Can you dictate yourself when to breathe and hold it for life? Can you tell the future and foretell when you will die? Can you create the image of your baby inside the womb? These are acceptance of weakness of being human. That there is more to know and to believe to be happy. So in the end it is acceptance of what you are and what you believe in.

Who is that Girl?

What a wonderful day. Someone was seating in the couch and maybe a new employee. Quiet silent,a little skinny and innocent looking young girl. Maybe a new graduate searching and looking for an exciting experience. She seems so strong inside but when she smiles, that was the time she captivated my heart. But I need to be silent about it, since the enemies and the predator that bites the dust were there, I can sense something wrong in them. Captivating though, she seem so aloft. But what really excites me was the way she stares and I can read something in her eyes though I need to figure it out more.

Now, I will wait, while the world is watching,.

7/11 Hotdog for break.. that will break the momentum for a moment.
