Joy To The World

It's Mother's Day today so I guess it would be perfect to share with you my motherhood journey and the valuable lessons I learned along the way. When I was 30 years old, I was single at that time, I prayed to God with all my heart to give me a child. And how could I bear a child if I didn't have a man? So, I included the father of my child in my prayers. Within just a week, my prayers were answered. I met the father of my child. I felt it was orchestrated by Divine plan because he too wanted a child. He even asked me if it's okay for me to get pregnant first before getting married. I didn't hesitate to say yes. 3 months after we met, I got pregnant. I felt mixed emotions but overall happy. Unfortunately, we didn't get so well so few weeks after I gave birth to my child, I broke up with him. I became a single mom. I'm sharing this to you because of the stigma of being a single mom. Like most would believed that being a single mom is pathetic, left by the fath...

Hey guys, how is life going on? One thing that inspires me to be back in blogging is because of  Dr. Wayne Dyer's quote, "Don't die with your music still in you." I actually have a choice to just be quiet and be busy with my life. However, what if someone can learn from my experience, what if someone can find inner peace or value with the kind of thoughts that I am sharing. Because that's what I needed when I was in my problems that I wished I might find someone who can guide me to the solution or just even to a better place. That's why I decided to update my blog and for this week I want to share with you my learnings about failures. Most of us have resistance about failures and negative limiting beliefs about ourselves when we experienced it. It hit me big time when I realized fully that life is full of ups and downs. The path of life is like the graph of the stock market full of ups and downs. I was living in an illusion when I wished problems will go away ...

Hey everyone, it's been almost five years since my last blog post, but I'm excited to be back and share my journey with you guys. I took a break from blogging in October 2019 to go back to work because I was afraid that my online business wouldn't be enough to sustain me and my child's basic needs. However, I continued running my online business, Our Beauty Shoppe, which unexpectedly took off during pandemic, allowing me to save money and to start a small food business. In this post, I want to talk about how difficult it is for us to appreciate what we have and forget about them.  Right after I quit my job (September 2021) instead of focusing more on my online business, I invested a lot of money and effort in a small meat shop and food business, which was not my area of expertise, and ended up losing a lot of money, including my savings. It was a tough time, and I felt a mix of emotions, anger, regret, grief and self-blame. However, I realized that it had to happen to g...

Most people do not realize how beautiful they are yet we love it when someone truly appreciates our own beauty. Sometimes, it's hard for us to accept their compliments because we're not convinced enough in ourselves that we're that beautiful. That's why I am sharing you today 7 steps on how to be confidently beautiful even if we don't look like Pia Wurtzbach. 1. Appreciate your assets. Maski unsa paka kabatig nawong sama sa giingon sa uban bahin nimo o sa mga nanaway nimo in the past, naa juy parte sa imong nawong o lawas na nindot o maanyag. Didto nato i-pokus atong atensyon kung tan-awon nato atong sarili atubangan sa samin especially if you're someone like me who didn't want to look at myself in front of the mirror. Yes, naabot ko ana na point sa akong life labi na tung nagkagrabe akong mga bugas. So, instead sa mga bugas ko magpokus ug tan-aw didto ko mutan-aw sa parte sa akong nawong na nindot para nako. I looked at my assets and started t...

Kita namo sa movie na MOMOL Nights? Portrayed by Kim Molina and Kit Thompson. Directed by Benedict Mique. Aside sa lesson nakuha sa bida (Kim Molina) sa iyang MOMOL (Make Out Make Out Lang) experience. Naa pakoy nakita na message sa movie na akong i-share sa inyo. Ang mensahe kay dili kelangan ikaw ang pinakaguapa in terms sa physical appearance magka-jowa ug guapo sama ni Kit Thompson. TBH (To Be Honest) masuya na mairita ko magtan-aw sa commercial sa Maxi Peel katung commercial nila na dili na daw siya maminyo kay pangit siya tungod kay daghan siya'g bugas. My reaction, "Mura jowg ang nawong lang ang batayan para maminyo." Para nako this is total BS (Belief System) that limit us and prevent us to achieve our happiness. Dili pud nako masisi ning mga bayhana kung mao ni ilang pagtuo kay mao sad ilang nasinati sa ilang kinabuhi. IRL (In Real Life), gikan sad ko diha. Pangitan pud ko sa akong sarili to the point na dili ko ganahan mutan-aw sa akong dagway sa sala...

Photo courtesy of www.onlythismoment.com I am going to share with you my personal experience the first time I came to know about Law of Attraction and I hope this will give you an understanding that thoughts will become things. 2009 was when I decided to study PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) to add on my skills as an engineer so that I had a high probability of getting hired in-line to the course which I graduated, Electronics and Communication Engineering. At the end of the training, the instructors gave us some ebooks and a documentary movie to read and watch before we can get our certificate. The documentary movie that they gave us was The Secret: Law of Attraction. I watched it and I was pretty amazed. It resonated in my whole being given the consciousness I had at that time and it really felt good because it gave me an impression that I can change my life with my thoughts. Of course, as an engineer, I had a skeptical mind. My thoughts were, "Is this for real? W...

My parents and I had a fight about an incident that happened in our business and they blamed me for my reaction. My parents wanted me to change. Every time I told them there's nothing wrong with me so I do not need to change. Their faces were like "WHAT?!?! Are you nuts? You are going crazy with what you have been doing all along." And they started criticizing me again of how my life was deteriorating and my age was increasing. Their criticisms were killing me as if they were stabbing a knife all throughout my body. I felt emotional shocked because they favored the other person more than me and so I should be the one to adjust and change my attitude. I cannot take it anymore and so I went out, walked, until I stumbled upon a cafe. I ordered cake and tea. After I ate them, I let my body fell on the sofa like I was dying. The trauma I had when I was a child went back, the one I shared with you on " Shame On Me ". They did not understand me at all and they had no ...

On my previous blog " Shame On Me ", I shared with you how I shut down emotionally. Well, we all know that emotional pain is more tormenting than physical pain. Emotional abuse is more terrible than physical abuse. I did that when I was a child because I did not want to get hurt anymore. But, when we numb ourselves from pain, we also numb ourselves from love. Therefore, I did not know how to love and to be affectionate. It was unknown to me and so no wonder no one can love me as much as I wanted to be loved. After my breakdown this year which I shared on " It's Okay Not To Be Okay ", it made me become aware of how low my self-worth is and how I hated myself for all these years. Therefore, I did not love myself in my deepest core. Yeah, sad truth. And so, I dedicated this year to love myself again unconditionally and completely 100%.  One more thing, based on what I have learned from Teal Swan's video which I posted on " Why We Broke Up? ",...
