The Goose and The Golden Eggs

Image
(I do not own this photo.) I know your familiar with this short story "The Goose that laid the Golden Eggs" way back when we were young. There were many versions of this but the intention of the story was still the same. As you can see on the photo, this was based on the fable by Aesop. So, who was Aesop? I searched through Google and found that Aesop was a slave and a well-known storyteller way back around 500 BC. Imagine how long his stories exist? About 2500 years now and still continuing to expand since our nursery rhymes and first reading books mostly are from Aesop's fable. If way back then they exercised royalties, Aesop would be one of the richest men in the world in his time. Anyways, my intention of writing a blog out of this is to share with you the deeper wisdom that I got with the help of Stephen Covey. Who is Stephen Covey? He is an internationally known speaker and author on leadership, personal effectiveness and change, and interpersonal rel...

Unconditional Love

Image
Hi guys, Let me update you first since I had not been writing anything here for so long. Just this week, I decided to go back in blogging because I love sharing my realizations if I can everyday. So, if you notice with my previous post it was all about talking to God and thanking Him for all the blessings I received. Now, I am going to change the topic a little bit. I am going to write still about God but it is more on how to understand Him, feel Him, or how I see Him as my God. I do not promote any religion. In fact, I have no religion and I see all religions with no prejudice. I respect all of them. Unconditional Love Last year was the darkest year of my life. Yet, in those time, I can say that I partly know God and how He loves us so much. We all know that He loves us unconditionally. When I was young I didn't really understand this. My family are devoted Roman Catholics until now. It was just last year I decided not to involve in any religion and they were so shocked...

In Every Crisis, There's An Opportunity

Good day to everyone! I know it has been so long since I updated this blog. To summarize everything that happened to me last 2011, well, I almost got the break even sales for the coffee shop that I was managing. The break even sales was 150,000 and I was able to get 147,000. Unfortunately, the coffee shop was closed because of lack of capital. A lot of people were dismayed about what happened including my staffs and customers. They said that the sales are starting to pick up and more and more people knew about MACbay. I couldn't deny that I felt the same way, too. Though, it was very painful for me but I know deep inside my heart that it is God's plan. A month after MACbay Cafe closed, I went back to Davao and started a new life again. I wanted to make a resolution with the owner because I wanted to move on but I guessed that it was also very painful for him that for now he cannot forgive me for what happened. I wasn't saying that it was all my mistake but I believed that...

I was healed

It has been an opportunity to be here in Singapore for the second time around without any expense coming out from my own wallet. Isn't it amazing? Unlike my first trip, it was full of work but now it isn't. I get a lot of time to roam around the city. And yes, that's what I did on my first week of stay here. Unfortunately, I didn't have my own digital camera. If you notice I haven't put any pictures in this blog...hehehe. So, I was hoping that someone could give a camera or just let me borrow his/her camera. Poor girl. Well, I was so luck because I have a lot of friends here and they were all very supportive of me and so they let me borrow their cam. Everyday, all I did was to have some fun and enjoy. After a week of doing it, I got tired as well. I wished that someday I could stay home also. So, for my second week here in Singapore, I stayed home most of the time. That's why I was able to write this blog. I lost track of my budget and I guess it's better to...

Thankful

Remember last week, I told you that I was confused. But this week, not anymore! I kept on praying last weekend about my life. Just this last Sunday, I realized that life has a lot to offer for me. God really answers my prayers right away all the time. You just have to feel good every moment of your life. Yeah, honestly it's really hard. It is not that easy. But, don't you ever forget that our God is the most understanding of all. What's more is that I'll be leaving for Singapore this week. I am really excited because according to my boss, I will meet one of his colleagues who is based in Dubai. He said because I need more exposure. Mmm, I like it! I just wish I can meet a rich businessman or investor for my idea. I also hope that I can formulate a very great idea from Singapore which could give a big business venture and income. I will learn as much as I can about business. That's my passion. I will just hope that my boss will agree to me. Yeah, I might hurt my ...

Missing the Old Memories

I check my Facebook now twice today looking at the photos of my friends and reading my news feed. I saw a pic of my CAT days and after that I missed the old memories. I missed everything in the past from my preschool, elementary, high school and college. Because I can compare right now that my life before was so simple. Unlike now, it is going to the direction of seriousness...hehehe I always dream of going back to my past but I know it won't be possible anymore. In fact, I am more excited to go home to Davao rather than to Singapore. Sad to say that some of my friends are not there in Davao. They are working abroad. Because of this, I think I really have to move on. Luckily today, I met Liza for a few months of not seeing each other. Nice to know that she is starting to move on with her life after breaking up with her boyfriend. Also, I had an enjoyable dinner with my new colleagues here in Cebu. Sir Tony, Irish, Gil, Delmi, Sir Bong, Yayabs, Mark, and Dacs. Regarding about ...

Confused???

I have been  a manager of a coffee shop for a few months now. Yes, I did well last month. I delivered what is expected of me. But, I am really confused right now because I have so many mentors. Lord, I really need your guidance about what I am going to do. In fact, I am very thankful for the success that I had last month.Sir Jonas kept on asking me what did I do and he thought that I was just doing guest work. Well, honestly, I felt bad about it. Anyways, he might be right so let's forget it. Lord, You have given me a lot of customers everyday that from an average sales of 1000, it went up to 2000. Even Sir Jonas kept on asking me for an answer, I really cannot answer it. That's how great our God is. I thought. When the Halloween was approaching, my sales are getting slow until now. And, I did a bad move. I was expecting that this All Saints Day and All Souls Day, we have a lot of customer that it could double but it did not. I was like getting a sales of 1000 a day. I also...
