Easter blog

Christ has triumphed over death. We must have new hope. This is the message of Fr. Jerry Orbos on the Easter Vigil. We must have hope. Hope for our lives. This easter, it is the start of something new, continuing our mission here on earth, with lives full of hope. I want to start anew with this message in mind. Do away with the sins that you have committed in the past for Christ brought it with Him unto death and now He is resurrected.

I would like to start anew this easter with the insights I have about my life and basically life here on earth. I want to particularly apply it to my life after having gone through the activities I have done this past three days.

For starters, I want to start fresh with people. I want to gain a different point of view wherein what matters most to me would be people and not just money or material gain. I guess, I should also try to have a life other than the belief that I am only as far as my money goes which is not too much. Because, of that I have a few outings, gimmicks, social life which are costly and no activities such as study. I want to create a new schedule for me wherein I would meet new people and enrich my life more than it was before. I don't want to be stuck up to applying for a job and not being accepted in jobs. Rather, I want to start on my own even if I don't have money, I'll ask for money just so that my life will move on and not get stuck like a car that has no gasoline.

Finally, I hope to welcome all the blessings that God would give me for I prayed for life from God. Life. Meaning, new friends, old friends, acquaintances, relationships, family, husband, future family. I hope to get my life started.

There are several things that one can do in life but the overall picture is love somebody, help somebody. I hope to meet the right people, if not help all the people deserving of help because you have to be careful in who you trust. If only all people are good. Of course, I am forever hopeful that everybody has cleansed their hearts with the help of God. So that the world will be a brighter place to live in.

Reflections and thinking on Good Friday

Just watched the marathon of Ghost Whisperer on ch. 23. I liked it a lot. I wish sometimes that I have the gift to help spirits do their unfinished businesses here on earth, to see them, and to communicate with their loved ones their unsaid messages and to help them find their peace. I wish I was just like Melinda Gordon. It would have been an interesting life.

Watched also the 10 Commandments. Various tv shows for reflections this Holy Week. Prayed a lot too. Rosary, Way of the Cross, St. Jude and the Chaplet. It's been a good experience this holy week. I wish to share it and make change with the people I come in contact with. Hope and pray that life is safe as always and have peace, good health, good wealth and good intentions. What more can you hope for in this life.

I hope it is not just about making money and survival in this world. Money is still a problem for me for I don't think I have money making skills but I do know how to write and advice about money, maybe it's just that my moment hasn't come yet. I do believe that God provides when He wants to and He just hasn't given me much yet in all those years.

I hope people change after this Holy Week, good intentions and purposes of everybody living in this world. I hope they change and no more evil in this world, I pray. Lord, have mercy on us. Peace to all fellowmen. All are brothers and sisters in Christ.

Fasting and abstinence also make a great sacrifice for God. It is also a good sense of discipline for the body to achieve also good health, good in mind, body and soul.

There are things that I want to change in me after this Holy Week, a good sense of everybody and of course money making skills, I pray to God. And continued reverence and relationship with the Lord as we journey in this life with Him. May everybody be good! Amen.

Ideas for life

I seem to be running out of ideas on how to find work. I know I can apply but this seems to be a repetitive activity that I have been doing for the past 12 years and frankly, I'm kinda tired of it. If only rejections would beface me again. Just because my resume looks that way. Just because I had short work experiences which happened while I was young and don't know a thing about staying long in a company. Why do they judge resumes that way? I wish I could say otherwise, but the past ten years of my life has been great and have no complaints except that society seem to oblige people to work and if you have no work they kinda look down on you, at least to some people. I'm gonna continue this article after the Holy Week, cause it seems like complaining and I don't really have anything else to write except my feelings towards my unemployment because you need money everyday. And it affects you if you don't have money everyday because you can't go anywhere without money. I am just wondering, I am no different from the celebrities being shown on tv and yet I don't have work while they continue to dig up money or treasures in this world. I just wonder where I can get my own treasure? If everybody rejected you for 12 years now except the ones that accepted you because of your family, what would you do?As I have said I am just gonna continue this article after Holy Week. I would try to change during the Holy Week and learn more from the recollections, the reflections on tv shows and books to read and maybe have a change of view about life afterwards. Blessed Holy Week!

Holy Week 2010

It's Holy Week 2010. I like Holy Week very much because it reminds me very much of how I used to spend this week in my mother's hometown and just celebrate the week by watching procession of life size statues of saints and other Holy Week activities such as the pabasa, senakulo, stations of the cross, confession and watching movies such as the Redeemer, The 10 Commandments and so on. Things changed now, we don't go home to our hometown anymore during the Holy Week but we just celebrate it in our home and do religious activities and still enjoy tv shows shown during this week. I like it also because this is a week for God and people and the world are just a bit holier and I just wish it would be Holy Week all year round or Christmas. What is very important is that we give a week to Jesus and how He saved mankind and we reminisce this event, our Salvation, in this very week. It is also a time to ask for forgiveness for our sins and just ask for mercy in our lives from God. It is also a time to ask for blessings in our lives, for lives changed and we strive to change for the better as we strive to become like Christ in our dealings in the world we live in. It is also a time for courage to stand up for Christ as we put Him first in our lives and adore Him in this week and strive to be courageous in our lives that we offer to Him. I hope this Holy Week would be as meaningful to all as it is to me and the others who strive to keep their lives holy and live their lives for God.

How to put up a biz

I came across in the internet a principle called The Zero Capital. I wonder how that takes place in order to establish a biz without any capital. I wanted to do such that. I am interested to put up businesses but to ask for OPM or Other People's Money. So far, I haven't found yet any institution or at least haven't talked to any who would be willing to shell out a loan to me for putting up a business. I should find out. The other solution could be to direct sell items to customers. With a very small capital, I can purchase goods and sell them to customers. I can save enough money for capital for a bigger business. I also want to save enough for my education and for lunch money. Plus support my family. I am really interested in money and I hope to learn about it through practical experience and education.

Checking one's progress

It's already March, the third month since my resolutions for 2010. So far I don't have any money making scheme to speak of. But I just went from the Go Negosyo Women's Summit at the World Trade Center and still aspiring to become an entrepreneur. The problem is that I don't have any capital to put in a business. I don't know sales yet. A little, but not enough courage to muster in doing sales. But I have got to find money. I just need to find the break. I need people to be with. Nobody accepts me in jobs anymore. But I am still hoping to do my dream jobs which are writing, acting, and being an athlete. It's just that you wake up in a day and you determined what you can do for the day and you count the money that you have to let you reach what you can reach with that money. It's always either 150, 200 or 300. And ask that money from my mom either once a week or twice a week. How else can I do anything else?
Just read from the Entrepreneur a social entrepreneurship course from Ateneo for four months and it costs P17000. I want to attend. At the start of the school year or whenever it is available. Before I could plan attending law school or any undergrad course or med school. I just wait for job prospects. Now, no more. Even if I wanted to try out call centers, I don't know if I can handle speaking in English for 8 hours straight. I might stutter. Gotta find an association to join like a business community where I could put up business with some partners. I just need to find more money. If I would really be followed I would become a real estate agent and broker, a car agent and study being a mechanic at MFI, a financial agent and set up a company called RSU Products Marketing for marketing various products. I don't know how to do that without money. I just got to find the solutions. Today.

Finding company

In this stage in my life, I want to find more company. Not that the company that I have with my mom is not enough but my heart yearns for more friends. You have spent all your life with your family and I want to meet new people. Maybe I want to meet somebody and more friends too. I guess that's what I'll do. But in the process, I need to have money. In order to have friends. In order to do the things that I want to do. My life is spent being thrifty when it comes to money because I have limited budget. I just wish I'd have more of it. To find company in the work that I will be doing is I think very important to me. I am sort of choosy when it comes to the people that I will be working with. I need to find the right workplace. And I need to trust people. Sometimes, and it does happen wrong associations are created in business. I just want to deal with the right people, somebody I can trust.
