God wants me to know today… 23 sep 09

On this day of your life, we believe God wants you to know … that tonight you can turn your worries to God, and have a good night’s sleep.
	You’ve been worrying too much about the future lately. So tonight, go ahead, put your faith in God, and just have a peaceful evening and a restful sleep

Yeah. I agree on this. I really worried. Bec of work. Bec of my upcoming vacation in Palawan. Because of the money I am going to spend. Because of the things that I havent finish. Because of my face that may get burned after skin peeling. Because of my tummy which is now getting bigger again. Because I am still single at age 36. Because I havent buy my own house after working for 13 years already. So much to worry. I feel so tired…

On this day of your life, we believe God wants you to know … that you’ve been talking to God too much, and not listening enough.
	Prayer is when you talk to God. Meditation is when you become quiet and listen to God. You’ve learned how to talk and ask well. Time to learn how to listen and hear, because God has been answering you.

On this day of your life,  we believe God wants you to know … that the answers are within you.
	You’re chasing in the wrong field. What you are looking for is inside of you, not ‘out there’. Take a few days off to become quiet and look within, and you will find it.

On this day of your life, we believe God wants you to know … that nothing is exciting if you know what the outcome is going to be.
	You keep wanting to know how things will play out, keep asking to see the future. God doesn’t give anyone the power to know the future, because life becomes maddeningly boring when you know everything upfront. So, instead of struggling, enjoy the uncertainty - to be alive means to not know.

my horoscope for today says. (13 sep09)

Sometimes when our friends see us making serious progress towards our goals, they get a little upset because they think they might be losing us. This may be what is beginning today Virgo, in terms of their irritation. There could be one of two things happening with them: either they have lower standards and don’t want to change, or they are trying to make changes themselves but suffer from a fear of losing the old reliable comfort zone. There are two things you can do: either let them go or pull them up with you. At least you have a choice that does not compromise your own goals. They might tell you that its lonely at the top, but the truth is that it’s not: it’s just more crowded at the bottom.

God wants me to know… 12 sep 09

On this day of your life, we believe God wants you to know… 
… that you can’t rid the world of sorrow, but you can choose to live in joy. 

Sorrow is with us not because we are bad at stopping it, but simply because it’s part of being human. What matters is not whether good or bad things happen - both will, but your relationship to them. Just think back over the last 24 hours, - what had you taken hard that you could have taken lightly?

God wants me to know today… 09 sep 09

On this day of your life, we believe God wants you to know… 

… that you’ve been driving yourself too hard lately. 

Sure, there is time to invest yourself fully into work, but there is equally important time for joyful resting. And for you, this time is now. What is the absolutely most wonderful little treat you can give yourself? Do it today.

God is really there. If not, how come He knows that i am working hard these past few days??? In fact, being so hardworking and lack of sleep, I took sick leave yesterday because of dizziness. I couldn’t make it to office yesterday. I was really thinking much about work…. why!!!! 

Prayer of the lost

Lord God, I’m in doubt, I’m in pain.
My mind’s put into test and my heart wants to rest.
My body wants to sleep, but my weary soul is weeping so deep.
I’m sick, I need a cure, all the pain and sorrow 
I can no longer endure.

I humbly ask for your forgiveness, 
for all the burdens I have caused to your creature.
I’m begging for your guidance! I’m starving for your presence!
Lord God, I keep on praying for something only for my own intention,
Yet I know you have your own plans for each and everyone

Please touch the heart of those in pain.
Please shed your light to those who need your guidance!
Please let my love and your love be felt by the ones we pray!
Let them know you, the only Lord God!

Lord God, whatever your plans may be, then so be it!
Just take me to the place where I can best serve you.
I surrender everything to you Lord God!
Let me be your instrument, let me be a witnessed.

All the Glory is yours, 
You who are God who lives and reigns 
forever and ever! 
Amen!

my horoscope (virgo) for today says…

“You generally have a high energy, Virgo, but today you are feeling a little more tired than usual.  It will be difficult to accomplish too much today, even in the most mundane tasks as your energy is feeling more than a little scattered. Though you are happiest when you are feeling a little daring and creative, today is not a day that bodes well in terms of adventure for you. Try not to conform to others needs and desires at the sacrifice of your own, or you are going to have some heated conversations. Today is a day about down time, and these don’t come often for you, so enjoy it while you can.”

I find it quite true. Especially at work. I really feel more tired because of the roller coaster feelings about the things that happened these past few days at work. My vendor did something wrong in my network, my operations guys complain to me about it and wants to put a stop in all the work orders i tasked them to do, now if that happens, commitments and deadlines will suffer. I don’t want to blame anyone, because I am not the type of person who does that. If something happens, then think of a way on how to solve it, don’t put a stop to it. keep it going. Those nitty gritty stuff can be managed at a time that will not hinder my own implementation of the project i am working on. Oh my.. everywhere, you will really see these kind of people. Not a good week for me though. Hope next week will not be as bad as this one.  

How to banish bingo wings for good

I read this important material from MSN Lifestyle! 

I know I will use this soon because like most women, I also have the same problem with my arms becoming more flabbier and flabbier each day. Here it goes:

Fed up with flabby arms? Fear not, we went in search of the best ways to make them a thing of the past. 

With spring fast approaching, it will soon be time to climb into the loft and root out those strappy summer dresses. After such a long winter, this might sound like good news to some, but for those of us too ashamed to bear our flabby arms (or ‘bingo wings’ as they are sometimes called) in public, this is enough to drive us back into hibernation.

However, there is no need to panic just yet. There is plenty of time to sculpt those arms so that when the warm weather arrives, you will be dying to put them on show. After an extensive search, I’ve come up with these four sure fire ways to banish bingo wings forever. And the best part? It only takes a few minutes of work every day and you can even do some of these exercises at home.

In the gym - rowing machine
Rowing machines are a great all-rounder for toning and cardio and really work your arms into submission. Set your rowing machine for greater resistance so you reduce the number of strokes per session and work your muscles with greater intensity. For fast results, use the machine for anything between 20 to 40 minutes a day, five days a week.

In the dining room - hair dips
Sit on the edge of your bed or a sturdy chair with your palms planted on each side of your hips with your fingers hanging over the edge. Walk your feet out a little so that your hips are off the chair. Your bum should just clear the edge as you use your arms to lower yourself down.

Keeping your knees bent, lower your body until your elbows are at 90 degrees and your upper arms are parallel to the floor. Use your arms to raise yourself up and continue to raise and lower yourself 12-15 times. Do two to three sets. As this becomes easier, do the exercise with your legs straight.

In the lounge - close-hand push ups

Kneeling down on all fours on a mat, place hands down in front of you, with your thumbs and index fingers touching. Raise your legs up behind you from the knee. Make a straight line between your shoulders, hips and knees and tighten your stomach muscles. Slowly lower yourself towards the floor, aiming your chest towards your hands. Stop a few centimetres off the floor then push up again. Do between 12 and 20 reps.

FB says:

“God wants you to know…that it’s time to STOP going through the motions of living, and START living. Are you willing to do that now? Or are you going to wait until all life energy drains out of you and your loved ones who are trying to support you at this very moment? You were not born to follow rules and regulations. Living starts with dreaming. So dream, dream friend, and let dreams show you the path to your bliss. “

I want to dream. And fulfill that dream. I just don’t have any idea where to start. God, please give me the courage to do what I need to do.

FaceBook says:

“God wants you to know… that decision is only wishful thinking until you take that first irreversible step.You can tell yourself that you have already decided, that nothing now can stop you, but if that step backwards is so much safer than step forwards, what will hold you true to your path when the going gets tough? Sometimes, the right thing to do is to take that first irreversible step, the one after which you cannot go back. And now, for you, is one of those times. ”

 With a lot of confusing things going on in my life as of this time, I can’t seem to understand what God wants me to know. I am not sure whether it’s about career, or my life as a whole. I believe that God will not lead me to anything that I can’t handle. I am praying and hoping that I will have the wisdom to understand and do whatever it is that God wants me to do with my life now.

Did you know that those who spend their time protecting others are the ones that really need someone to protect them?

Did you know that three most difficult things to say are : "I love you. I'm sorry. Help me."

Did you know that those who dress in red are more confident in themselves?

Did you know that those who dress in yellow are those that enjoy their beauty?

Did you know that those who dress in black, are those who want to be unnoticed and need your help and understanding?

Did you know that when you help someone, the help  is returned in two folds?

Did you know that it's easier  to say what you feel in writing than saying it to someone in the face? But did you know that it has more value when you say it to their face?

Did you know that if you ask for something in faith, your wishes are granted?

Did you know that you can make your dreams come true, like falling in love, becoming rich, staying healthy, if you ask for it by faith, and if you really knew, you'd be surprise by what you could do?

But don't believe everything I tell you, until you try it for yourself.

Date taken: 05 oct 2007.

There are many things that we can do to perk up and
strengthen our interpersonal relationships. Yet the
most effective involves the saying of just three
words. When spoken or conveyed, these statements have
the power to forge new friendships, deepen old ones
and restore relationships that have cooled.

The following three-word phrases can enrich every
relationship.

I'll be there.

If you have ever had to call a friend in the middle of
the night, to take a sick child to hospital, or when
your car has broke down some miles from home, you will
know how good it feels to hear the phrase "I'll be
there."

Being there for another person is the greatest gift we
can give. When we are truly present for other people,
important things happen to them and us. We are renewed
in love and friendship. We are restored emotionally
and spiritually. Being there is at the very core of
civility.

I miss you.

Perhaps more marriages could be saved and strengthened
if couples simply and sincerely said to each other "I
miss you." This powerful affirmation tells partners
they are wanted, needed, desired and loved. Consider
how ecstatic you would feel, if you received an
unexpected phone call from your spouse in the middle
of your workday, just to say "I miss you."

I respect you.

Respect is another way of showing love. Respect
conveys the feeling that another person is a true
equal. If you talk to your children as if they were
adults you will strengthen the bonds and become close
friends.

This applies to all interpersonal relationships.

Maybe you're right.

This phrase is highly effective in diffusing an
argument and restoring frayed emotions. The flip side
to "maybe your right" is the humility of admitting,

"maybe I'm wrong".

Let's face it. When you have a heated argument with
someone, all you do is cement the other person's point
of view. They, or you, will not change their stance
and you run the risk of seriously damaging the
relationship between you. Saying "maybe you're right"
can open the door to further exploration of the
subject, in which you may then have the opportunity to
get your view across in a more rational manner.

Please forgive me.

Many broken relationships could be restored and healed
if people would admit their mistakes and ask for
forgiveness. All of us are vulnerable to faults,
foibles and failures. A man should never be ashamed to
own up that he has been in the wrong, which is saying,
in other words, that he is wiser today than he was
yesterday.

I thank you.

Gratitude is an exquisite form of courtesy. People who
enjoy the companionship of good, close friends are
those who don't take daily courtesies for granted.
They are quick to thank their friends for their
many expressions of kindness. On the other hand,
people whose circle of friends is severely constricted
often do not have the attitude of gratitude.

Count on me.

A friend is one who walks in when others walk out.
Loyalty is an essential ingredient for true
friendship; it is the emotional glue that bonds
people. Those that are rich in their relationships
tend to be steady and true friends. When troubles
come, a good friend is there indicating "you can count
on me."

Let me help.

The best of friends see a need and try to fill it.
When they spot a hurt they do what they can to heal
it. Without being asked, they pitch in and help.

I understand you.

People become closer and enjoy each other more if they
feel the other person accepts and understands them.
Letting your spouse know in so many little ways that
you understand them, is one of the most powerful tools

for healing your relationship. This applies to any
relationship.

Go for it.

We are all unique individuals. Don't try to get your
friends to conform to your ideals. Support them in
pursuing their interests, no matter how weird they
seem to you. Everyone has dreams, dreams that are
unique to that person only. Support and encourage your
friends to follow their dreams. Tell them to "go for
it."

I love you.

Perhaps the most important three words that you can
say. Telling someone that you truly love them
satisfies person's deepest emotional needs.

The need to belong, to feel appreciated and to be
wanted. Your spouse, your children, your friends and
you, all need to hear those three little words. "I
love you."
