Fret not

The world is now suffering global financial crisis. And I feel sad to those OFW's returning home without any savings. Everybody is worried about this global financial crisis. And some big companies in foreign countries is now closed. Japan is one of the progressive country that we have known but they are not exempted of the crisis. My nephew used to work there for almost 5 years but he's coming home next month because the company that he's working is going to closed. And he's family is very much worried for he is the bread winner of the family.
I know that life is not easy now a days. But if you believed that prayer is powerful then fret not. God is the owner of the universe. Whatever calamities, storms of our life comes we can overcome all those trials. I experienced all kinds of trials in life but still I'm here living normally. I am not worried for tomorrow beacause I know God holds our future. Just pray without ceasing!

Family reunion!

Conflicts among the family is just normal and no one is really perfect. We are six members of the family, 3 boys and 3 girls and we are all married. Since the death of my father i remember the conflict started in our family. And my 2 brothers just reconciled after the death of my mother. I really feel sad at that time that each one is exchanging bad words to each other and it comes to the point that my eldest brother hit my other brother. And i really thank God everything was settled and they are now back at each other arms.
Last December 27, 2008 we have our family reunion in our farm in Darong, davao del sur. How beautiful it is to have a happy family and tears flows down in our cheek remembering those bad days in our life. I hope that this will last and this is the only treasure that we can share to our children " to love one another" and never let your pride ruled in your life because pride always led you to destruction. I post some pics here taken during our reunion!

Great life!

A great life is not about routine but doing something rare. To cherish and not to compare. To forgive and not to blame, to be loving without counting. Laugh at your mistakes nut learn from them. Joke over your troubles but gather strength from them. Have fun with your difficulties but overcome them!

Positive discipline

Speaking of positive discipline, we use the concept of teaching or guiding. Routine is considered as an approach of discipline. If children have routines they don't need to feel to act out. By giving children routine that is the maintaining balance with them. It also gives the children opportunity to establish a sense of independence even as a baby. That way the child knows what to expect: dinner, bath, read, bedtime and let them know that it is good for them. It is very important for the kids to tell what to do rather than what not to do. Always use the positive rather than the negative. Use positive vocabulary. Meeting one's child needs means giving children what they need, not necessarily what they want. That is the goal with positive discipline.

Natural resources!

In this fast changing world, natural resources are early diminishing due to man's unsustainable needs. Help our mother earth, conserve our resources!

New year resolution!

Traditionally that every 365 days, we should try to kick bad habits and start our life anew. New Year's Eve has always been a time for looking back to the past, and more importantly, forward to the coming year. It's a time to reflect on the changes and resolve to follow those changes.
Everyone think that at least 5 things that they would like to change in their life. Resolve the resolution in specific terms and be realistic in achieving goals. We might have a bad year or maybe not and we just want the new year to be good. Find alternatives to a behavior that we want to change and make this part as pat of our resolution plan. However if the old year treated you, it's always be nice by looking forward by improving ourselves.

Have a wonderful year!

Praise GOD for a beautiful morning, it may not be an easy day but HIS guidance and love will enable us to push through despite all odds! Have a wonderful year to all!
