Happy New Year

Fireworks are very beautiful to see during the New Year's Eve, but they are also dangerous when being misuse especially for the children.

We want to start our year 2011 right and of course safe together with our family. The true essence of new year is not just by lighting fireworks, but what is more important is that we celebrate the coming new year with our family . Another year to do our best of living our life to the fullest.

We must avoid using fireworks. By doing this, we can get a lot of benefits, like good health, complete body parts, we can save money, save others from danger, help in preserving Mother Nature and we're going to have a happy new year.

This 2011, say no to using of fireworks. We our not professionals, let's leave it to them. It is more happier if we just celebrate the new year by giving love and peace for our friends, enemies and love ones. I believe that if we do this simple things, we will going to have a fruitful new year an God will grant us with more blessings.

Rejoice the Birth of Jesus Christ

December 25, 2010. Rejoicing the birth of Jesus Christ.

 This day is not only for giving and receiving gifts.Today we are united again for one reason only, to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. 


As I woke up this morning, I feel that Jesus is within me. I'm happy that Jesus is born as well as the whole Humanity. Full of happiness, peace, hope, and love for this wonderful day. No chaos, no enemies, no war, no fighting, just sharing of love. I saw a lot of people walking very happy and some people that I knew weren't. Some unfortunate people go to house to house to ask for some gifts. I like to give them something, but it was sad on my part that I don't have anything to offer them because even us is less fortunate.


Last night on celebrating the "Noche Buena" it was successful but not happy. Because we're not complete. But even so, I'm still thankful for the blessing that we received and will be receiving. This is the first time that I feel so very happy on my 21 years of living here on earth. It is so nice when you are doing good things for your self, to other people and of course for God. 


I told to myself that this will be the day for me start the changes in my life. Even if the year 2010 is not yet over, I will consider this as my New Year's Resolution. I must start my 2011 right together with God, my Family, my friends, and the people on the earth. 


We must thank the Lord for this day for the blessings and love He shares and gives for the Humanity. And may we pray for those less fortunate people for their happiness and good health. May they feel the Love of God.

All this is the work of the kindness of our God; He, the Dayspring, shall visit us in His mercy to shine on those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.

- Luke1:78 -

Greatest Gift

What do you want for this Christmas?

Some would care for a new car, or even a new cellphone?


If you would ask me what I want for Christmas, that would be for my family to be happy. It's been years from now since the last time our family was complete during Christmas. My mom is in Italy working for our own good. I'm a simple person and i'm not really a material person when it comes to receiving gifts. 


Let's say that I have all the money, clothes and gadgets in the world but will it make me happy when I know that my family and I are not together to celebrate the Christmas? No. My family has been there since my childhood although sometimes there's been a misunderstanding and problems we face, but material things can never ever replace my happiness when I'm with my family. 


I'm still looking forward for my wish this Christmas and that is for my family to be happy. For now I'm satisfied to know that my Mom is happy even though she can't come home. I know there's still lot of years to come for us to reunite and be able to celebrate the Happy Holidays. 


Christmas Day is telling and reminding us that gifts are not really important, what more important is giving love and joy to every person especially to your family. Value every moment with your family for it may be the last you'll ever see them again. 


I love my Mom, Dad, and my Brother.

I don't care how poor a man is; if he has family, he's rich.  

~Dan Wilcox and Thad Mumford

Healthy Snack for a Healthy Appetite

California Wacky is a drawing inspiration from the sushi dish, the sandwich is filled with kani (crab meat), mango, eggs, and lettuce. The result is a light sandwich due mainly to the sweetness of the ripe mango and the soft texture of the crab meat. What makes the sandwich unique is its Japanese flavor which comes from the wasabi mayo used to dress the filling.

Who doesn’t love sandwiches? In fact, sandwiches were a major part of everyone’s diet especially during the growing up years. Because of the quick and convenient manner in which one can cram almost anything on it, sandwiches have endeared palates all over the world. Filipinos have adopted sandwiches into everyday meals. However, sandwiches have been locally limited to snacks and "in-between" meals.


There's one place hoping that they could break this practices. The recently opened Chuck's Deli located at the heart of Bonifacio Global City. If you are craving for big American sandwiches, then Chuck's Deli is your place.This deli serves American-style sandwiches designed to pack in a full meal.

Chuck's Deli offers a range of  sandwiches classified into four types: burgers, "flatwich," "subwich," and their signature piece the "slabwich."
They're not just typical sandwiches that we see because all the sandwiches they offer are all Nutritious. This is the good place for those people who are health conscious but they want to eat "snacks." Some of their dishes were inspired by international cuisines.




These are some of their sandwiches:

There are a lot of fast food chains and restaurants have opened all over the world. In our modern times, people are going back to those traditional and healthy foods. Why? Simply because they want to be healthy. It's amazing that there are still people who are into food business,who think out of their box (particularly the Filipinos) not just the money  but offering quality services and healthy food.  As a Hotel and Restaurant Management student, I also want to make sure that the foods that I am cooking and serving for the customer are not just ordinary food but a healthy one. 


Chuck's Deli is two thumbs up for me.

  
So if you want to experience Chuck's Deli sandwiches just visit them at the Serendra Piazza, Bonifacio High Street, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig City or contact them through telephone number (02)576-4210. For more information, check out www.chucksdeli.com.ph.

Dream come true turns Blue

Basketball was once my dream.

This morning I sat down in front of my computer and I suddenly remember my High School Life. I was a basketball varsity @ University of the Assumption back then. It was so great during those times. Basketball was not just a game but a dream for me. I love to play it together with my friends and co-varsity. Actually no one taught me how to play the game, I just discover myself that I'm good at it. 


Those days were so great that everything seems right. I was one of the star players and co-captain of the team. We were so strong that time, the scouts were all impressed on us. But one of my regrets is that I never experienced to win a championship during my basketball career.

Championship is a dream come true for me. I'm still hoping that someday I'll get one. It was hard for me to let go of my dream. My parents didn't even supported me during those time. I remember when I asked my Dad to come on our championship game to watch me play. It was sad for me because he told me that "I have no future on playing basketball". I never mind what my Dad told, because I believe on myself that I can play. I continue playing with heart forgetting what he said and just focus on the game. 

Now I'm on my college life. It's been long time since the last time I played my passion. Dream come true now it's turning blue. After we lose that championship game, I remembered what my Dad told me. From that day on, I gave up my dream and It was so frustrating for me to do it. I was not given a chance, no support from my family. Every  day and every night these failure keeps on coming back on me. I know that if you love doing something, never ever let it go, but this time I have to admit that basketball is not my career. Basketball now for me is just a passion that I will never forget.And I'm so thankful that basketball has been a part of my life, taught me to how fight, how to discipline myself, and how to trust God. 


I keep on telling to myself, "God has better plan for me".

Hope at Night

The Universe is but one vast symbol of God.

-Thomas Carlyle-

I wonder why does the Universe, the moon and stars shines only at night. Is it because the Sun is too bright during the day for them not to be seen?

 I observed the cold night finding answer to my question. It's very relaxing to see the stars brighting and shining with different sizes and shapes. Even the moon cools my eyes. As time goes by, I finally found the answer to my question.

In our life there's not always a shiny and bright day. There will come a time darkness will prevail. We are not always on the top, sometimes we are down. God created the Universe, the stars and the moon for us to serve as our light in darkness. They shine during the night to guide us on our way whenever we are down, whenever we struggle. They are relaxing to see because they want to remind us that after a long day of hard work, stressful and problematic day there's still hope for us to live our life to the fullest during the night. Very calming and quiet, so refreshing, seems like everything goes right. Forgetting all the worries and problems just enjoying the night. The cool air blows me with peace and love together with the sounds of the the animals saying tomorrow would be a great day for all of us.
