BREAKTHROUGH

I miss blogging. And I just can't contain the things I' ve learned from the past few weeks. I was given again another great opportunity to attend a seminar called The Breakthrough, I was hesitant to go at first, because i was going through a heartbreak, just got out of a relationship and it wasn't a good one. I've been so stressed for the past few months, I felt that I was being neglected and fooled. I felt that I was a victim, I felt that I have been doomed. I didn't wanna go out, I just kept on crying and crying. God really answers prayers, actually I didn't pray for this seminar, he knew that I needed it, and he used my Tita bonnie so I'd be able to go this seminar (coz it's not that cheap hehe). Actually, it will take me days to write all the things that I've learned  from this seminar, but I just want to share how it changed me, my perspective in life, and how i respond to trials and problems. We all have our bad habits, attitude problems, guilt from that past, hatred, grudges etc. but one thing what this seminar has taught me is life is so simple, problems will come and go, but if we stand firm, if we stand on our post, it can never destroy us. We all have the choice to do better or to stay miserable the rest of our lives. And I have been doing that almost all my life, i let things pull me down, and at the end I hurt myself and the people who are close to my heart. I hurt them so badly because of the decisions I make, I always choose the way out. Just to make it short, I haven't been doing what God has been wanting me to do and that is to trust him, put my worries in his hands. I always forget that God has send his son Jesus Christ to pay for my sins and " it is finished" ; Isaiah 1:18

“Come now, let us settle the matter,” says the Lord. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool." I always forget this promise, that now matter how bad i was, no matter what I did, God does not keep records of that things that i did wrong, and he forgets it. 

During the seminar, I heard a lot of different stories even worst than mine, and you'll be shocked to know that these people are earning millions. My first question was how did they do it? how come I'm not earning that? it's because i choose to stay in my comfort zone, I was always scared to do something better, thinking that I'm not good enough, I can't do this and that. I lacked courage, i was always negative. And one thing Russ Juson ( speaker) said that really had an impact on me and that is " I need to change my story". Enough of the dramas, enough of the victim stories, enough of that I always get hurt dramas. I need to step out, because if I won't I won't see things clearly, I won't see the real purpose of this precious life that God has given me. 

I know that it's won't be easy,negativity will somehow find its way to destruct me, but one thing I'm sure about now is that, it won't hurt me and it won't affect me. I won't let it stop me from reaching my goals. 

This is a second chance for me, I know that God will never leave me nor forsake me, he never did. I feel so happy now, full of energy, full of dreams, but trust me it's not easy, it's not easy to break an old habit, but with God there is nothing impossible. Now I have forgiven all the people that caused me pain, and I also asked them to forgive me. I always used to blame others, but we are responsible with our own actions, we always have a choice to do good or keep what we love to do and that is " staying in our comfort zone". Now, I am ready to face life in a very different perspective, i am always excited to wake in the morning, because I'm excited for what God has for me, I am excited to receive his blessings. I know that God is still working on me, he has a wonderful plan for me, and he knows the desires of my heart, i know that the pain, the disappointments will someday turn into a blessing. I just have to be still and know that my God is bigger than all these.

I will leave you this song, it's an old song but it's a great promise has for us:

Hide me now
Under Your wings
Cover me
Within Your mighty hand

When the oceans rise and thunders roar
I will soar with You above the storm
Father you are King over the flood
I will be still, know You are God

Find rest my soul
In Christ alone
Know His power
In quietness and trust

When the oceans rise and thunders roar
I will soar with You above the storm
Father You are king over the flood

I will be still, know You are God

Godbless everyone:) 

Make over

I MISS BLOGGING!!!

I think my last blog was about the people of my 2012, and I haven't had the time to blog since then. From January to March has been the craziest months of my life. I don't want to go on to details anymore. All I can say is that those months  I was at my lowest. I was so down, I felt neglected lahat na ata ng negative vibes. But I really learned my lesson, a lot of things, and one of  those is to love myself more. Specifically my health, my weight. I have been obese almost all my life, and i was becoming to comfortable with it. I almost reached 200 lbs, and it didn't bother me that much. I even thought that I was hopeless, my ob told me that I really need to lose weight if I want to have a baby soon. And that one really got me. So I made a commitment, I need to lose not to look beautiful but to be healthy. I tried to run atleast an hour everyday, I tried to do Zumba, but still not losing weight because of what I eat. And one time I was just in the mood to read blogs, and I was able to read this blog about GM diet, sorry but I really forgot her blog's name. It's a 7 day diet program for more info about the diet click here:http://www.gmdietworks.com/. I thought it was easy to follow and the best part of this diet is that it's for free. 

My weight when I first tried Gm diet was 185 lbs, after a week  I lost 6 lbs, i just rested for 3 days then did it again. I'm at 150 lbs now which is still heavy I know, but losing 35 lbs in 2 months is not bad after all. What I love about this diet is that, i don't have to starve, I can eat unlimited fruits and veggies which is very healthy. I'm not trying to promote it, but I want to share and inspire as well. I was always telling my sister that I need a make over, I need a new look, new style, but then I realized, would it really make me happy? I'll still hear people saying " ang taba or " ang ganda mo sana kaso ang laki mo eh", I'm tired of hearing those. It  pulls me down, i've got to pick confidence somewhere. I can't say that I'm super confident with my body now, but I feel healthy. And honestly it's addicting since I saw my weight dropped, I told myself " kaya ko pala" .

So here are some of my Before's and after's.. haha..

I just didn't do the diet I also had to enroll at Fitness First, for toning and fat burning. My target is to lose 30 lbs more. I'm giving myself  another 3 months to do it. If I can do it, so can you.  Lets say Hello to a healthier lifestyle.

People of my 2012

My 2012 is my most productive year. I was able to accomplish a lot of things, I went to Boracay alone, went to an orphanage, got my 2nd store, got a new place with my sister. So many things, but ofcourse I won't be able to do these things without the people who loved and supported me all the way.

So here they are:
( from left)

1. My sister Ann and mitch - well they will always be a part of my success and failures, they have no choice hahaha..I woudn't be here right without these two, they were there for me when I was so down     they always tease me that i'm the bunso, well I think with them around, I am the bunso because they never fail to take care of me, and guide me. I love them so much from the bottom of my heart

2. My girlfriends - Abbie, twit and mimi

Bessie- Our friendship has been tested a million times already hehe, but here we are still the best of friends. She's silent most of the time, I can't ask her anytime to go out or  bond with me, but she makes sure that I'm ok, she makes sure my decisions are right specially when it comes to love. She's like my big sister. The most patient person I know, she doesnt give easily( hmmmm) .

Mimi- the coolest friend ever, this year we got to talk and bond a lot. She is very transparent, i can talk to her about anything. I can always ask her about anything, i love this girl so much. I can cry, get amd and laugh with her. A friend that I can always depend on.

Twit- hmmm ka love and hate relationship ko..hehehe..crazy, pasaway,,but sometimes she makes sense din naman. haha. The person who never fails to call and ask me if im ok. 

Friends, I may not have a perfect life right now, but with you around, solve na solve na ako. You guys taught me a lot of things, lalo na sa pag aasawa..hehe. And I will always keep those things in mind. I love you!

3. Tita Bonnie - She will always be a part of whatever I do. I will  never get tired of saying this but she is my inspiration, there were times that I wanted to get mad at her, when we do accounting, sometimes I don't listen to her, i just do things my own, and when I fail she will still be there. she makes sure that I just don't manage a business, she makes that I manage it well. Thank you tita.

4. My employees- paano ko ba naman sila hindi isasama dito, I talk and see them everyday hehe. They make me mad sometimes, but I love them so much. I am so blessed to have them because they are understanding and mababait. Without them I can't run my business, without my bakers, there will be no hot Pandesal to sell. I hope and pray that 2013 will be more productive for us.

5. My skatzeepoo- we are the busiest single women in the world hehehehe. Inspite of our very busy schedule, we can still talk about what's happening in our lives, we laughed and cried about small things.  I don't know if something happens I always want her to know it, i love this girl so much. she supports me in everything that I do, not all pala she's good in making sermon too.hehe I love u so much my schatzee poopoo!!

6. Ronneey- my parekoy! We never got the chance to be super close in high school. Pero saludo ako sa taong ito. May prinsipyo sa buhay. Very humble and marunong tumingin sa pinangalingan, he inspires me a lot lalo na the way he treats his Mother. siguro napipikon na sya sa kakakulit ko sa kanya on Viber, asking him the same question over and over again. Super the best tong taong to. Maasahan sa lahat ng bagay. Thanks parekoy! More trips for 2013 hehe.

7. Rosalyn - ang nanay ng barkada! The person I can be crazy with  because we both are hehehe. I will never forget that time when I was crying and I texted her, and pinuntahan nya ako agad, i was like a kid hugging her. Ibang klase mag alaga. thank you mars for always being there for me..mwahz.

And to the man that cannot be named: You've been a part of my 2010, 2011, 2012 but not my 2013 and to the next years to come. ^^

Christmas Wishlist

Wow, in less than 2 months we'll be celebrating Christmas again. GASTOS! Honestly, I'm surprised how time passes so fast, few months ago I was just thinking what to do on my 30th birthday, and now I'm thinking how ill end my 2012 right. I always have my wishlist, but these are just material things, I am already blessed and contented for all the things I have right now. Aside for the things that I want, I pray that God will give me more strength, knowledge( for the business), direction and patience, protection for my family and for the people that work for me. I am so blessed already, and I give all the  glory to our mighty God.

So here are the things that I hope someday or sana before Christmas I can get hehehe:

                                          Lots of bedsheets and pillows

                                              Hays when kaya? I really want one.

                                        Lord willing I'll have on on November^^

                                                      I want one so badly!

                                             No time for gym, why not bring the gym at home? hehe

 

                                              Yes I want a new bed..A white one.

I miss this place, and I don't know I just want to try going here on a December^^

So there, ang dami kong wish no? hehe but I have this habit lately I want something I say it aloud and claim it's mine already for example " I'm having that Iphone soon", it really works for me. To testify here are some that came true :)

Yes the chocolate it's so hard to find one hehehe kidding!I think I posted something about this perfume ages ago, I said that hopefully we' have a Chanel store in the country, and we already have yehey! pero  I wasn't able to buy pa ren, I don't know masakit sa loob ko to spend thousands just for a perfume. kaya I'm so blessed to have good friends, a great guy friend Ronnie, he asked me what I want for my 30th birthday, though it came late he still sent it, he's the sweetest!

The Babe: I told mysef that I should have a boyfriend before December, no matter what!I'm not naman in a hurry, basta I have my reasons. Anyway, so here my Yanosh, my babe. I'm so glad I met him, a very humble and relaxed guy. We are just enjoying what we have right now.^^

I am Seminar

I am so blessed to be a part of this 2 days seminar. My Tita Bonnie has been bugging me about this, but i told her that that i cant because i'm too busy. Aside from my busy schedule, the price is really expensive for a seminar(4500). The seminar is called Discovery, life and leadership. I wasn't that interested at first, I even had my stolen naps hehehe. The facilitator of this program is Russ Juzon, and with the help of his mentor Arnold Anog, and to my surprise they are both Christians, and i think almost all of them are.

The program Is called I am.  This is all about knowing yourself better and what keeps us from reaching our goals. I had a lot of "Aha moments", i really discovered a lot about myself, bad and good. Its true that before we can love others truly, we have to love ourselves first. Before we can trust others we have to trust trust ourselves first. The people who hurts us, those who don't believe in us, they will not change for us, they wont even care if  we feel bad about them. We need to change the way we react or feel to thos people. I've heard people sharing their own downfalls in life during the seminar, problems with parents, with siblings, and the most common themselves. What I admire the most in this program is that the speakers never failed to insert God's word. To my surprise even the author of the book Younique Mr. Jayson Lo attended the seminar,( i even had a picture with him hehehe). His book is similar with the program I am.

Grabeh, there are too many things to share about this program. I saw tough looking men cried their hearts out.

With the Staff

With Morgan Freeman este Arnold pala hehe

With my buddy for 2 days, she's a cry baby hehe

With Russ

Yehey natapos ko hehe

wahahaha

hehe my tita bought a christian book??happy^^

On being brave...

Yeah, I watched the movie The Brave, hehe. I really liked the story, for me the title didn't really define the story. It's about relationships, good thing my Mom joined us, we had an argument 2 days ago, and it's really hard not to talk back sometimes. Specially when you know in your heart is just your justifying or trying to make her understand you point. Me and my mom are okay, I mean we talk, we help each other, but we have a lot of differences. I know it's okay to be brave sometimes, i mean like all the time hehe. Because everyday is a battle, specially for us Christians, we have to stand on our posts(our faith) we have to protect it against the enemy..and how? We have to LISTEN. Now I know why me and mama always argue, because I never listen I answer because that's what I feel, I don't listen. Same with the Bible, his words, how can I obey, if i don't listen or even read and try to understand his purpose?

We can be brave but with the help of our Lord Jesus christ, i don't know if im making sense here hehe. I just want to share on how God reveals things sometimes. I just want to share this very funny scenario, when I got my non pro driver's license, I told myself that ill show my family how brave i am, ill show off my driving skills hehe. But before I even started the engine, these words just came out " Lord protect us". And that's what I still do before I drive. Our faith on him, his love for us, that makes us brave.^^

The movie is really nice^^ God bless us all

Bogus Seller

I'm really upset about my last purchase on Ebay. As I said on my last post I have been buying Roxy stuff online.And I was so excited about this watch I bought on ebay the seller's account name is signature_brands,her name is Maria Erlina Flores i deposited the payment,she gave me the tracking number, checked the tracking number online, and she gave me an invalid one, was texting and calling her, but got no reply. So guys please be careful on buying online well on ebay better check the feedback and ebay protection. Well I think meeting up is much better.

So guys, please be careful! like what my friends said maybe she needed the money more. May God bless her!
