What is Life??

LIFE - what is life??most of us often think about what is life is all about?? About missions in our lives..Sometimes our daily lives are becoming routine and we get so bored in our lives. That most of the people want a CHANGE. Change in their routine lives. Sometimes, I feel that way..I feel so bored in my life..in my work...everything..But when you know your mission, when you put God in that mission, your life will be different..I now see life as temporary assignment..everything in this world is just temporary. Likewise our life too is also temporary..everything in this world can fade away in a minute..I learn two truths about life.

• Compared with eternity life is extremely brief
• Earth is only temporary residence.

So now I realized this two great truths, don't be too attached in this life. Such as money, fame, possesions, careers and fame. Don't make those things master over you. You must learn how to control over them and make use of them. When we read the Bible, it is repeatedly telling us that life here on earth is only temporary. We just passing through this life.. We have another life with God after we died. We should view our life like the way God sees it. People should not focus on "HAVING IT ALL MOTTO". Humans born to be selfish. We never get satisfied. We always want more. When we focus so much in material things, we tend to forget God and other things. I learned something good about the book of Rick Warren The Purpose Driven Life. I want to share it with you. Humans are selfish right? God allow us to feel a significant amount of discontentment and dissatisfaction in life, longings that never be fullfilled in earth. Because God want us to depend on Him. God wants us to realize that things on earth will not fully make us happy. When we realized that life on earth is not really base on material things, our perspective will change.

People often assume that God's goal of our lives is to make us rich in materials or success in our careers and abundant in life. Before I think that way that God will make me prosper in my work. But I realize NO. God don't work that way. And God don't show His love that way of how abundant a person is. In God's eyes, the greatest heroes of faith not necessarily achieve prosperity, success and powers in life. Sometimes they are the poor people and lots of problems in life. When I realize those things, my point of view become different. I don't focus in money now, how will I become successful. Just have to trust God in everything I do. Because I know this earth is just a temporary life for us. God bless!!

Want to decorate your room??

Hi!! It's been a while that I didn't post anything here due to busy schedule in work. As much as possible,I will try my best to update my blog to share with you my experiences, my learnings and my journey here in life. I really hope that my blog can help you in some ways.
Guys, do you thinking that you want to redecorate your room??Do you think it's little bit spacious or you want to have bigger space on your own?? I want to concentrate more in bedroom now since I think this is the most personal room in one house. Some people designed their rooms according to their hobbies or wants. When we decorate a bedroom, it's an personal expression of our likes, dislikes, and moods. It's shows our personality and perspective in life. I guess if you have lots of books in your room then probably you love reading books. If you have collection of Transformer or Gundam I presume that you love robots. That's why you place all those things on your room so that everytime you wake up, that's the first thing you will see in the morning. Since we spend lot of time in our bedroom, it should be warm and very relaxing.
A bedroom should be a personal gateaway, a sanctuary which expresses your favorite color, feelings and collections. It is the mirror of one's personality. Let me share you some tips to remember in decorating your bedroom.

• choose subtle color - prefer to choose sooothing colors than bold colors. Use tone-down versions of your favorite colors in your bedroom.
• don't overlook the ceiling - we consider that the ceiling is the fifth wall in a room. When you are lying in a bed, it's better to see a ceiling that have subtle pattern or soft color than a bland, blank surface, right? This will help you visually lower the ceiling and give us a feeling of comfort and intimacy. You could also add an wallpaper to your ceiling, or architectural elements in the forms of beams and molding.
• make it simple - many people saying having a simple beauty can win a man's heart. Simple person, simple life, simple apearance. It is the same as bedroom. Make your bedroom looks cozy and simple. For ease of movement, leave a minimum of three feet between the bed and sidewalls or large pieces of furniture like tables and dressers. Furnish your bedroom with only what you need. It is fine to have accessories in your room. It is an additional decor in your room so that it may appear lively and more personalize. Choose a beautiful artwork, some family photos, some collectibles items, it's your choice. Just keep it minimal.
• choose right furniture - it is depends on the size of a room. Start out with you floor plan and measured drawing of the space. it is not advisable to choose a large bed and a dresser for a small room..It will looks like very small room and you don't have any space for other decorations. Choose a furniture that is perfectly fit in your bedrom.
• have a plenty of storage - to add a serene feeling of bedroom, store things that out of sight. You could choose a roomy beside the table with drawers or doors behind you which you can hide your books, lotion, reading glass within reach but out of sight. So that you room will look like very clean and neat. It is really advisable to have a dresser on your bedrom to keep your unnecessary things like extra sheets, blankers or pillows.
• include private nook - this is one part of your room that you can relax and refelct on your daily life living. A comfortable chair will do and foot stool at the end of the bed. It is also nice to have window in your room to enjoy the view and the natural light.
• let your bedroom be a real gateaway - create a cherish place to relax and renew in your room. You'll love having a room that you could really be yourself, and doing what you want.

I hope you find some interesting insights here in this blog. Creat a unique room that really shows who you really are!!

• unemployment
• higher prices in the market

Many companies today are rapidly closing and there are various layoffs in the countries. Many people are really experiences depressions due to these incidents. I hope the government will find ways to resolve these problems.. Many people are really affected to this crisis, not only in the Philippines but also in other countries. Lessen corruptions must be considered by governments. I hope government officials will be really honest in their jobs and have compassion in the people. It is really hard to find job today especially this time of crisis. I hope governement will do something about this. Maybe talk to other companies to reconsider some people who want to apply in their companies. Due to this job loss, cimes and suicides rates are increaisng tremendously. They may think they have no other choice but to engage in robbery or end their miserable life. All I could say is don't ever lose hope. Everything happens in our countries have certain purposes. We may not know it now but surely someday we will. We will become stong because of these crisis. Just have faith in GOD.

START A YEAR WITH GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD!!!!

It's better to start a year with right perspective in life. Start to have a right relationship with God. Many people often asked how to have a relationship with someone you don't even met, cannot see or cannot heard. Many Christians explained that you can develop a personal relationship with God by seeing "JESUS" . Let Jesus be the center of our lives. They might also suggest developing a relationship with God int he same way you first developed a relationship with your spouse. It is also better to start reading God Word which is the Bible to get to know God better and to guide us throughout our lives. In the bible, there is a famous passage of prayer for all the people. You can find it in Mathew 6.
In this manner, therefore pray,

Our Father in heaven,

Hallowed be your Name

Your kingdom come

Your will be done

On earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread

and forgive us our debts.

As we forgive our debtors

and do not lead us into temptation

But deliver us from the evil one

January 1 is not only the start of a year but many of us starting to make a new year resolution. I already have made 3 new year resolutions and I hope that I can keep my resolutions for this year. At the start of the year, I hope that we remain healthy, spend more time with our family, spend more time to God and have a healthy living for all of us. Sticking our resolutions can be difficult but it is not impossible. What exciting about new year is there is hope within us that our lives will be change for better. It is a great time for us to thinks positive ways how to become a better person and to have healthier living. But when we make an unrealistic goals, it will lead us to frustations beacause it is impossible to achieve those goals. Keeping a resolution to change one thing is a priceless gift we can give to ourselves.
These are some advices regarding New Year reolutions:

• try again - everyone has made resolutions every year and they didn't succeed in keeping it. Don't worry don't lose hope.. Start with a positive aproach. Don't get discourage with environment.
• don't make too many resolutions- pick a reasonable, realistic goal with a reasonable time frame.
• choose your own resolution- make sure that you choose your own resolution for your benefits. Make sure that you want to accomplish that goals for your benefits.
• make a plan and write it down- it is advisable to write down your resolutions to track down your progress. Make a realistic goals within 6 to 8 months to get inspired to keep going. When we achieve small goals, we willl surely get motivated to keep going.
• involved friends and family- they can help you to achieve your golas. They will remind your resolutions need to achieve and they willl support you all the way.
• forgive yourself- if you get off a track, don't be discouraged. it is normal sometimes that we forget and lose tracks in all our plans and goals due to certain circumstances.. Better yet, review all your plans and make some adjustments.
• congratulate yourself- we could treat ourselves when our immediate goals or resoutions have met. don't treat your life too hard. Enjoy life while keeping your resolutions.

The most important thing when making a resolutions is that you really want those resolutions you have made. It's not because that's the common resolutions or your friends advice you to have that goals in your life. The most important thing to consider when creating a resolutions is to decide if you're willing to have that change in your lives. When you make a resolution, try to make a plan of actions and list the ways that will improve your life. So that you will be motivated in achieving your goals. I hope that we all could achieve our resolutions in this year. Happy New Year!!!

GOD SEEMS DISTANT!!!

There are times in our lives that we feel God is so far away..that God seems so silent in our prayers. We sometimes go through seasons of life such as a baby, toddler, teen, middle aged, and a senior. That's the way life progress. In God's creation, there are also seasons as well.
SPRING full of new leaves and shoots.
SUMMER when the fruit is ripe and yummy
AUTUMN when the leaves turn and trees start to produce the part of the trunk that makes it strong.
WINTER when everything seems hopeless and lifeless.
It's normal sometimes there is distant in our relationships with God. But it doesn't mean He don't care about us anymore. Sometimes we must draw closer to God more and surely God will draw to us. When we feel God is silent, read His word more, pray more consistently.. Maybe God is teaching us something.In this stage of christian walk, we need to trust Christ more. Reflect our lives in the past..do we really obedient to God? do we follow His commands? Do we love Him supremely? Tell God all about your feelings..
