Which will you choose? The Coffee of the Cup?

A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life. 

Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups - porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some 

expensive, some exquisite - telling them to help themselves to the coffee. 

When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said: 

"If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. 

Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink. 

What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups... And then you began eyeing each other's cups. 

Now consider this: Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, and the type of cup we have does not define, nor change the quality of Life we live. 

Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee God has provided us." 

God brews the coffee, not the cups.......... Enjoy your coffee! 

"The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything." 

Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God.

World War Z Experience

Last June 28, 2013, I bought the last full show ticket coz I thought I can't get inside the cinema and it's past 8pm. It started 7:10, the 2nd to the last show. I dropped by Cinema 2 and ask the staff if I could just get in anytime. They said Yes so I hurriedly went to Jolibee, the nearest foodshop and since I don't have the appetite to eat rice, I ordered B1:Burger-Fries-Upsize drinks.

When I finally sat down inside C2, I immediately ate the burger first and I was so hungry I seemed like a hungry zombie ready to eat a fresh host. I was halfway the movie though not bad because it gave me a lot of goosebumps even I haven't seen the first part. I still have one round of the movie for the last full show. The part that really got my soul out from my body and shivered my spine from top to bottom was when they were at the Belarus Plane.

God, I promised I was caught numb and shocked when the dog was barking at the door and the girl just opened it up and alas!! The face of the zombie scared me so much I threw my fries with ketchup up high and the girl sitting next to me was all but fries with ketchup on her pants. She shouted I almost dropped the plastic with fries in it. She's not angry I guess because she said it's okay.

Gosh!! I said sorry and after few minutes, I stood up and transferred to find another seat. Wahaha.. Yatapz nuon. Terrible. Because of the movie, I almost found my own war-with her.

If only LANGGA Monte.. you're there with me while watching that movie, makuratan pud ka. Pastilan sad sa tanang hadlok2x, though daghan ang kurat2x adto pa jud nga part nga gisabayan ug kaon ug fries and it's like a chain reaction. Because you are watching a heart-racing movie and people are shouting so loud your brain says to your hand 'throw it up'.. And I did. LOL!! Pasalamat dili coke float ang naitsa nako. Nah!! Minatay na jud!! Nangurog pa ko because of the weather, the atmosphere inside the cinema coz it's cold, the movie and the girl's reaction.

Grabeh jud. You'll lose your voice after watching it and surely, hospital is your final destination.

THUMBS UP!!

MINIONS' Banana Song

I asked my hubby to buy me MINIONS from Japan because he is there now. I was so amused to hear this song from Despicable Me MINIONS. They are so cute and i can't help it but keep on listening and watching to this video. I love them. SOOOOOO CCCUUUUTTTTTEEEEE..

Answered Prayers..

“The two hardest tests on the spiritual road are the patience to wait for the right moment and the courage not to be disappointed with what we encounter.”
― Paulo Coelho, Veronika Decides to Die

I had the best summer ever two months ago. After all sleepless nights because of overthinking about my work and the stress,not to mention, I found a major comeback to straighten up and savor every moment of FULL REST, EAT MORE and FULL REST again while it lasts. And when last month gave me the decision to move forward and start looking for a job, I was taken aback. I was intently looking for the confidence I had few years ago in the deepest part of my heart and of my self and I was suddenly came to thinking, "Am I ready to do everything and start all over again?". It made me shiver and I felt the pressure to the idea of great expectations. I can't afford to fail because my dreams are for my family and I'm doing all of these for them. I can't imagine being agitated of what might comes out WORST.

And I PRAY..

Today, I was hired and all PRAYERS have been answered. Monte, my fiance was right. There are things in life that are not intended for me. I wanted to have what I want and do what I feel comfortable of doing and in which I know I'll be better-off with those. And it started to drown my expectations and frustrations began to subdue my positivity when LIFE said "NO". He said TRY LOOKING AT THE BRIGHT SIDE BECAUSE PERHAPS, THAT'S WHAT GOD WANTS YOU TO DO. And I tried.

I always believe that for whatever reasons I am feeling this way, God allowed it to happen because He thinks giving me unmeasurable circumstance would definitely lead me to HIM. And though at times I failed to see the good side, He is always there ready to change the course of the wind and turn my head to the opposite side.

I am delighted. I have been BLESSED. Of course, I feel nervous because new environment and people mean a life to start afresh and prove that they got the right person but I know, my life and those who have done the same, will forever be a living example of those who PATIENTLY WAIT.

Thank you so much for all the people I have encountered in my life because they are my INSPIRATIONS and my DREAM.

— feeling blessed.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Our greatest happiness does not depend on the condition of life in which chance has placed us, but is always the result of a good conscience, good health, occupation, and freedom in all just pursuits. - Thomas Jefferson

June 3 has ended right and it was perfect and because of this, I would like to say THANK YOU SO MUCH to my FAMILY, FRIENDS, Monte Balistoy's family and to all who supported me all the way of my 27 years of existence and of course, for those who greeted me thru text, call, chat, e-mail and personal greetings. I LOVE YOU♥

Thank you also for those who will still send late birthday messages later or tomorrow. 

Thanks to Bernardo Bernardo and Marc Helgesen for your messages. You are my special guests. That's for SURE! 

And lastly, I would like to extend my gratitude to my cousins for finding this photo of John Lloyd Cruz's personal greeting to ME.. LOL! Sikat!!WAHAHAHa..

THANK YOU SO MUCH.. 

from the BOTTOM OF MY HEART♥♥♥ — feeling loved, satisfied, extremely blissful and BLESSED.

June 1 until Yesterday were one of the happiest times of my LIFE♥

Going Twenty Seven

Every moment and every event of every man's life on earth plants something in his soul.

God! THANK YOU AND I LOVE YOU.
Time flies so fast and I can't believe that I am almost at the end of the calendar. GOSH. Where has my life gone?

There are lots of things that happened in my previous life and good or bad, I am thankful for all of them. Good, when all people expect their life to turn out really great and for those whose life has been a wonderful silver platter, then they can always rejoice. Bad, for some who have been through HELL and took all the smiles on their faces, they can always be grateful because of the lessons they learned whether they like it or not and either they accept certain circumstances in their life positively or negatively.

When you are young, you think of a fairy tale-kind of life. Like prince charming saving you from the tower, everything you hold will turn into gold or when you have problems, in just one click of a hand every heartaches and dramas will disappear into thin air. But as we grow older, we understand that life is no fairy tale. There are no genies to give us three wishes, no animals or dwarfs that could help us when we are in trouble and especially no prince charming that can save us from the wicked witch. Only US that can make our dreams into a fairy tale and it depends on us how to make it magical.

Our world is real and I realized it after graduating college. My life has been a roller coaster ride when sometimes I am up in the air and other times, I am trying to climb going to the top. It was so hard for me to look for a job at first, when the employer declined your application, when you think it is unfair that the applicant hired together with you is no better than yourself. But that's how life works. And that is God's way to show that we can't always have what we want when what He does is preparing us for something even better. And I want to say to my GOD..

So in my coming birthday, I am turning 27 and AGE is an attitude. Let me say this. I want to be 

It is okay?!! Hahaha

I am still young physically and at HEART. LOL. I compiled some photos that has the number 27 and I'll explain what do these photos mean to me.

I like to go to anybody else's birthday, and if I'm invited I'm a good guest. But I never celebrate my birthdays.- Mikhail Baryshnikov 

 Well, partly true as what the author said. Even when I was young, my parents don't really celebrate a huge party but only a family gathering. I haven't invited friends to our house yet and my family is not really sociably-kind of people and for me, honestly I envy some friends of mine when they invite me to their house. I can only invite my friends to eat in a restaurant or to go somewhere and I am okay with that. At least I can still celebrate birthdays.

 When I was a teenager, I used to play billiards with my classmates. It was fun when you play with your boy friends. Haha.. And it was a good thing I found this picture. 

 One of my wildest dream is to have a tattoo on my body. Isn't it cynical? I am not that type of a person who's into this but if given a chance, I want to have one on my hips near the butt. LOL!

Watching sports are boring but I find this quite interesting because of the word "WIN". I want to be a winner every day of my life. I know I am not perfect but in God's grace, I want to pursue everything even how hard they are and to be great in God's eyes.

Winners are people with definite purpose in life. - Denis Waitley

 The actress of 27 Dresses, Katherine Heigl. Gosh, how she managed to wear all of those clothes and keep them? I admire her so much because she has attended 27 weddings of her friends and had the chance to keep them in the closet. I only attended few and no gowns kept inside my closet. Haha   

 I want to be 27 FOREVER but that is ridiculous and super kaloka, right? I don't want to stay forever like this because it's fun to go through all stages in your life until you die. SUPERB!

 If I am going to hold my birthday party soon in my own house with my husband and kids, I want to share my movie night disease with my friends and have sleepover. Amazing!

 She is one of the icons in the music industry and one of my favorite singers. How did she handle all paparazzis and issues about her. Imagine about the intense rumor that the reason she dated all the boyfriends she had was just to make or create a song. Doesn't she have inspirations? She is so exquisite.

 I am at the point of my life where marriage is an important ingredient in a life of late 20's - especially women. I want to play with my children while I am still strong and not like an old woman who wants to stay at home and do some embroidery. What a nightmare! 

 I want to do 26 things for this year while I am still 27 years old and I still have to think about it. Check my blog soon for this update. 

 One of my favorite actress in Glee. Quinn Fabray. She is really a great actress and beautiful. And good thing we have the same age bracket. She is two months older than me. Great! 

 Do I have to include this? I have a lot of goals in my life especially health-related but not bad if I give these a try. I always do the following except number 1 because I am super thin before but not now because I am getting fatter, number 3 because I guess I eat less than 1000 calories (that's too much??), and number 5 - SODA which is part of my daily meal's life. How can I eat my meal without soft drinks? HMM..

 I don't know yet!kkk

I included this though this is not necessary. I have a hubby who is very supportive and I want to tell him everyday as long as I am still strong of how much he means to me and i really love him..SO MUCH! 

This year, I pray that whatever happens in my life, I will love my age wholeheartedly and I will do my best to do good to give thanks to my LORD♥

I love my life even when I say I don't. Life has been good to me because nothing bad happened to my family for the past years though my grandmother died because of old age. Life is beautiful. God gives us problems to solve on his condition - TO TRUST HIM. And I am fully aware that we don't have a bed of roses. We only have GOD who is so merciful and so loving.

In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on. - Robert Frost 

Thank you for the gift of life - for every single breath that I take, for every sunrise and sunset, for every fresh hope, for every smile and happiness, sadness and loneliness, for my family, friends, and all loved ones. Thank you so much.
