I know everyone wants to give to someone this Christmas season. And I thank you all who clicked the link at twitter.
I know too that I can call on to others to help me raise these toys for the kids at Davao Medical Center's House of Hope. Who are these kids? Well, these are cancer patients and they are fighting cancer at a very young age. With as much as 100 pesos, we can make 10 kids happy or even more. These kids does not need too much. They need your presence and feel that there are others who care for them.
Help me raise the toys or books. Drop it off at MTC Academy, E. Quirino Ave., Davao City. Call us at 222-6822, if you want us to pick it up.
I am fortunate enough that even if I am in a rocky situation, God didn't give me any cancer like these kids at Davao Medical Center's House of Hope.
Now, to continue giving joy, DXSS Mom's Radio and MTC Academy thought of giving time and toys to the cancer patients in Davao.
The two establishments are hoping to raise enough toys and food for the kids. They would also want you to participate in raising the toys and food. Please call 222 6822 for more inquiry.
First on my list was buying my auntie her favorite necklace. When we were there at the store last night, she said she has allergies to fake silvers and gold. We asked the saleslady if the necklace is real. The saleslady asked her supervisor and said, no it is just for fashion. To my auntie's dismay she asked me to treat her for dinner.
I know she's a little sad but food makes her happy. And I know later she will tell me the "If only" phrases.
She met with her friends after dinner and I accompanied her. Wanted to make sure she's happy until the night is over. Good thing I don't have work tomorrow.
Going on to the second on the list, buy me a slippers. I bought two pairs of slippers for myself. Yippie!! Woot woot!....
Next thing, buy dad some shorts and underwear. Till the next post everyone.

According to what was define to me, the word mediocre seems to be that this is always more of a negative than average. I got to be outstanding with what I do. I shouldn't settle to be just an average.
Fighting back with mediocrity means fighting the very idea of me being an average or being a person who can just do this and that. I know I can do more and I believe I can do so whenever I only have the heart to do it. I know for myself that I have been doing a great job but with the expectations of my colleagues makes it more challenging.
I do not intend to be in accordance of their free will but it will be my free will that I will get to follow. Most of the times, I am told that I am being paid to do the job but if in my instincts says I shouldn't and wouldn't do it, I don't have the choice but to follow orders.
In my daily learnings, no one is above nor below. It was clear to me that whether I had money or not, it was I who decide not the second party nor the third party.
"It doesn't matter where you came from, it doesn't matter what color you are or how old you are, your background...doesn't matter of anything. The internet lies on to whoever get in to it....thank God from being born in this era, for having an easy way to money money online."
That's what he said when I first seen his video on Youtube.com.
Yep! I like these kind of people. The never-give-up people.
I was hooked to "Rich Dad Poor Dad" of Robert Kayosaki and any books of John Maxwell, and now I'd probably listen to this guy name Jermaine Griggs.
What is common with these guys is that they've decided to change from the very beginning and they were patient for the results to come and now they've achieved what they wanted and started to share what they've learn.
Jermaine Griggs started with a debit card. He never think of what could have happened after he purchase that domain. He really has done the amazing part of being an entrepreneur, the belief in oneself to do the impossible thing and he succeeded. Turning $70 to a million dollars, well that's how big and still growing.
In the video that I have seen at Squidoo, he seems to be very determined with what he is doing. When I went to college, it was taught that when you do business you should have thought about what business first, then make a plan, then do some research about how to do and go around that business, then start doing it. With the situation of Mr. Griggs, the first thing he did was make a decision that he has to earn and wouldn't want to live like the way he used to live. If he wasn't able to see his situation before he started, that if he would have stayed he would have suffered more. I say, as an entrepreneur, before you ever get to start something you have to think of why you would want to do business? Is it because of money, or you would want to it more because of personal reasons like improving your life?
For my personal opinion, Jermaine Griggs deserved to be where he is now. His name is not that known to many Fililipinos but he sure has the guts to do what he wanted to do to survive and carry himself to the next level. For him, it doesn't matter where you do it but how you do it. I think this guy likes to learn new things every time he encounter something that can be of use to him and to his family.
In everyday that we deal with life, we make personal decisions that we think solely affect our future. In everyday decisions, it has little effect on to world that we are in. But with those little effect, when accumulated together, has brought even more challenges and more bigger decisions that will now have a bigger effect on to those who are close to us personally.
With Jermaine Griggs, he has done what he needed to do because he knew already what will happen if he will just make the biggest decision ever, during that time, to be able to improve his status. The second on the priority list would be earning enough to stay alive then make himself hungry for more without leaving his first priority in life which is to change for the better for himself and for his family.
When can I have that kind of moment? Hey! Mr. Griggs, can you tell me how?
My Teddy and I set the month for our big day. I am so excited and I can't wait. I don't know why I waited for so long for this guy.
They say that loving someone is not a thing that needs definition nor explanation. It is an out of the blue kinda thing and you simply don't know what's the reasons.
Within the relationship, I still have those moments where I ask myself why and I would just smile because I can't give an answer. When I ask some friends about it they simply say, because you love him.
After all the sitting, waiting, and wishing he's finally coming and we will be tied up together.
We don't have that much money to spend an anniversary. It is not my anniversary nor my auntie's anniversary. It is an anniversary for my cousin Michelle. We just want to celebrate and I think this is the best way we can tell these guys that we love them.
I'm sorry guys but all we can buy is Satemi, partnered with bread and peanut butter.
It is not easy as my father would tell me about being employed. It sucks big time. Why? It sucks because you do not own your time, and even if you have the idea you can't just do it right away because it needs the approval of someone but the other side of being employed is learning the hardest way of getting things done in any business.
When you will hear how much I get from working, you would say; "Ok na yan." With so many things to do in any office, an employee like me most of the times feel that what we earn is not enough. I guess, it mostly the reason why employed personnel create such unions.
I started my after college career as trying to be a businesswoman. That's what I went to college for, to learn how to make and build business. It was described to me as something easy to do with some accounting and research and you are all set to go. In the real world, it was not supposed to be that way. There are a lot of things you need to consider before getting your feet in that door to the business world.
As an employee, 13 days of working hard would mean payroll. That's money. But to survive for 15 days is another situation where an employee like me has to face. The income derive from 13 days of working, is not enough for the 15 days of survival. I would want to have a second job but my first job makes me so tired at the end of the day and that's the reason why I can't find a full time 4 hour work at night.
When I first get to realize that I am not secured of my work right now, I began to think of getting my own business through small things. Earning a little from it would mean a lot for the future. And still I have to grind my income to make it through a 15 days of survival.
I know too that I can call on to others to help me raise these toys for the kids at Davao Medical Center's House of Hope. Who are these kids? Well, these are cancer patients and they are fighting cancer at a very young age. With as much as 100 pesos, we can make 10 kids happy or even more. These kids does not need too much. They need your presence and feel that there are others who care for them.
