Davao ITCUP

My cousin and I arrived in Davao yesterday, February 26, 2018 and we realized that we booked our AirBnB a month later (March 26-28, 2018). What a surprising adventure!

All is well that ends well. Congratulations to our Davao Team for a successful event!

Congratulations Davao Team!

Congratulations to the Winners! 

Visited the President's House 

Salamat Kaayo Davao! 

Until we meet again!

Do what you love, the money will follow.

I saw this book in the Big Bad Wolf PH booksale and ignored it. For some reason, the title of the book did not attract my attention. In fact, it made me shake my head. 

Do what you love, the money will follow. - Is such a difficult ideology!! I had to learn the hard way because doing what you love doesn't always give you the sustainability you need to survive or live in comfort. 

LOL 

If you've back read my posts from a few years ago, you would see posts about me supporting the "passion route". But I guess, I now realize that the only reason why I am supporting that route was because I found a job that I actually enjoy. I found my "purpose". 

I love it.

I am great at it.

The world needs it.

I am paid for it. 

What is actually wrong with the advice of doing something you love? 

I guess it's not completely wrong. 

But you also have to recognize the realities that you also need to do something that you not necessarily love, but necessarily need to do for "survival". 

Big Bad Wolf PH Book Sale

Reflection on my visit to Big Bad Wolf PH booksale: 

The SELF-HELP section seemed to be the most sold out section! Looks like a whole lot of people need some sort of "help" ? 

Capitalism has taken advantaged of profits that they can gain from the "happiness industry."

There there... people... we don't always have to be happy all the time. Take it from the lessons in Disney's Inside Out. 

ALL our EMOTIONS are important. 

Embrace and recognize your feelings. 

Don't force yourself to be happy if you're not. 

But learn to be grateful for each day.

Devotional from The Powerful of Being Thankful

Recovering from Pain

Recovering from pain or disappointment of any kind is not something that just happens to some people and not to others. It is a decision! You make a decision to let go and move on. You learn from your mistakes. You gather up the fragments of your life and give them to Jesus, and He will make sure that nothing is wasted (see John 6:12). You refuse to think about what you have lost; instead, you inventory what you have left and begin using it with a thankful heart.

No Subject

I don’t normally put things that are too personal here in my blog.

But... I am in SO MUCH PAIN ... right now...

I would like to call my grandparents right now for strength, and for clarity.

Lola and Lolo, what are you trying to tell me? Why am I in pain? Why am I going through this?

The last time that I sank into depression was grieving for the lost of my grandparents. And now, I am sinking into depression again for another reason.

I don’t want to talk about that reason anymore, but I just want to put it in record here in my blog, that today... I am going through SO MUCH PAIN. Pain that I haven’t really felt for a very long time.

What does this mean? What is God trying to tell me? What am I supposed to do?

I put my trust and faith in you, my Lord.

I trust in your plan.

But please, don’t let this pain linger so much longer.

Thank You

This post is just dedicated to take time and pause for the beginning of the second month of the year. The year 2018 has begun in a good beginning and I have nothing but been grateful for each day and each lesson that it brings. 

Thank you, Lord for everything. I am not sure what I have done and I feel that I am not worthy but I trust in your plan. Thank you for blessing me much more than I deserve.

Do not be afraid any longer, little flock,
For your Father is pleased to give you the kingdom.

English & Spanish Grammar, Biology, Engineering and Psychology

What has been keeping me busy these days?

When you chose a career that is dependent on your capacity to absorb knowledge and learning, it really exhausts the mind.

I've sentenced myself to a life long learning.

In my homeschool, I have been teaching the kids English Grammar Structure & Writing, as well as, the different systems of the body (Skeletal, Muscular, Circulatory, Digestive, Respiratory and etc.).

In my personal self-learning, I try to work on my Spanish courses during my free time.

For my career and work related, I am currently writing a paper on Mechatronics Engineering and currently studying Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Psychology.


HAYYYY information overload!

Times like these I just really want to quit life and be a house cat.

A house cat who just sits and lay around the house, waiting for somebody to feed them, not minding other people in the house and asking for affection whenever I feel like it.

On another hand, I do enjoy what I do.

I guess this is just really a matter of life-balance.

I also need to continue reading

1) Why do nations fail? 

&

2) How to be a gentleman?

Wew... I wish I was a robot and can just scan and put a memory card in my head.
