Here’s something worth sharing.

1. Life isn’t fair, but it’s still good.
2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.
3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
4. Don’t take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
5. Pay off your credit cards every month.
6. You don’t have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
7. Cry with someone. It’s more healing than crying alone.
8. It’s OK to get angry with God. He can take it.
9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.
10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.
11. Make peace with your past so it won’t screw up the present.
12. It’s OK to let your children see you cry.
13. Don’t compare your life to others’. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn’t be in it.
15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don’t worry; God never blinks.
16. Life is too short for long pity parties. Get busy living, or get busy dying.
17. You can get through anything if you stay put in today.
18. A writer writes. If you want to be a writer, write.
19. It’s never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up to you and no one else.
20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don’t take no for an answer.

Oh by the way, I have an on-going contest on my blog and I am giving away $26! You might want to join. Check out the details HERE.

~ Join the fun HERE!

1. When you see a man and woman walking together, do you automatically see them as ‘a couple’?
~ Not really. I’m not that malicious naman eh. Hehe!

2. Is it always okay to walk along minding your own business, not bothering anyone?
~ Yup. And why would you bother other people by the way? You’ll only get into trouble if you do that.

3. Which foods that you believe are bad for you that you stubbornly refuse to stop eating?
~ Junk food and COKE!

4. How would you handle these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights?
~ On a rainy day, I just stay at home and eat something warm. Lost luggage - been there, done that! That happened to us when we flew here to to SLC, Utah. It took 2 days for the airline company to locate and deliver our luggage. And in the span of time, all we did was PRAY fervently. Tangled Christmas lights, simple, untangle them! Hehe!

5. Do you easily adopt habits or phrases from the people around you?
~ Only if I like it.

6. What do you think of this situation? (In a checkout line at a store, someone is angrily yelling at the cashier because she’s waiting for minutes already. A long line of people are behind them with no other checkout line available. Does the angry person have a right to be yelling?)
~ No. At times like this, you have no other choice but to wait in line and be patient.

7. How often are you greeted by strangers in a friendly manner while walking around in public?
~ Well, here in SLC, people are really friendly. They smile at you, open doors for you and offer help whenever you need one.

8. What do you think of Crocs?
~ They’re cute for kids. Hehe!

9. How long does it take you to get ready to go out?
~ 1 hour

10. What kind of accent do you find attractive?
~ British. That’s why I’m such a big fan of Harry Potter!

As for me, well, I’m very busy right now. We’re moving in next week to a new apartment and it’s not furnished so we have to buy all the basics to make it look like a real home. And then my birthday’s coming up pretty soon so I am also busy preparing for my “small” birthday bash. Whew! I need an energy turbo charger! LOL! Wish I can invite you all to my party but that won’t be possible so I will just throw a contest here in my blog. Just watch out for the contest details okay? I’ll post it on the 25th of August.

So that’s it. I need to stop now because it’s getting late and I’m getting tired of Sofia’s songs. Hehe! She’s hooked via YM and she’s singing “Bahay Kubo” while I am blogging this. Ang kulit! Haha!

Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

Amount Sent: $200.00 US
Service Fee: $5.99 US
Total Cost: $205.99 US

It’s a lot of money especially coming from someone who doesn’t have a regular job like me but no regrets though because it’s for a good cause. It’s my bro’s pocket money for his upcoming trip to Manila next month. He got a couple of nursing job offers abroad from different agencies and he needs to go there for his interview.

Well, I am hoping and praying that he will be able to land the job that will fulfill his dreams in life… and also, so that he can afford to return the favor next time. Ang sama ano? Hehe!

Anyways, I’m off to check on these HDMI switches. We need a brand new one. Catch ya later!
