Yup, today is a good day!
Had a luncheon date with my former classmates. They got caught in the traffic so I had some time in my hands. Went roaming around the place and got caught with the Yuletide decors.
There was a showcase of lovely gingerbread houses at the lobby of the hotel. Reminds me of Hansel and Gretel.
Lots of great bread to eat or to send as delicious Christmas tokens.
These are cake boxes with a nice Christmas motif.
It was day to be thankful for. There was that warm holiday feeling shared with friends. We promised to see each other again even if it's not Christmas, Valentine's probably.

Pilgrims
I went to a pilgrimage expecting to experience Jesus in some way. I was never thinking more than that. However, I got more. I was able to see beautiful places, learn so many things and meet great people.
Now, whenever I get re-connected with a co-pilgrim, I get to experience Jesus in a very special way.
Thanks be to God!

Smiles of New Friends
Come on, let's conquer this part of the world today!
This was our mindset, as my sister and I woke up that morning, not minding that we slept late the night before after our tour at the Universal Studios in Sentosa Island.
So we got up in a breeze and went walking at the still nearly empty streets of Singapore. The air was cool though the sunshine was starting its way to be felt, not wanting to be ignored.
Then, I saw these young girls in bright-colored dresses. I had to meet them. My goal was to add new friends whenever I travel.
And viola! Got a photo opportunity (thanks sis). Good item for my memory box.
Smile ladies!

Choosing Life Friends
A short story from best-selling author Bo Sanchez:
Even as a baby elephant, Bulig was big. As Bulig grew up, he was taller and bigger than all his playmates. It didn’t take long for the other elephant to be afraid of him. And Bulig knew this. So he used his size to terrify others to do what he wanted them to do. He’d snort and growl as he’d say, “I’ll crush you!” It was his usual greeting to anyone he met on the road. Obviously, if the other elephants were scared of Bulig, the other smaller animals would be as well. Monkeys, deers, tigers, and even lions stood in awe at the huge animal. The elephants gave him a special home on top of a small hill. And Bulig’s throne was a gigantic bed. There he lay down and lorded it over the jungle. Each morning, the elephants would give him a basketful of bananas. And the monkeys would give him a basketful of apples. And the deer would give him a basketful of nuts. This happened everyday. So Bulig grew even bigger. And the more he grew, the more terrified the animals became of him. He now became a god to all the animals there. A group of pelicans took turns fanning him. A group of parakeets sang to him in the morning. A group of monkey acrobats performed for his evening entertainment. For the longest time, Bulig never much left his home. In fact, for years, he didn’t even stand up from his giant bed. All he really did was snort and growl once in awhile, “I will crush you!” And every time he said it, all the animals would be terrified. Because he didn’t move much, he became as fat as ten elephants put together! Now, even other animals from other jungles would visit to see for themselves if the Legend of the Giant Elephant was true. And all of them would stand in terror at the sight of the great beast. One of those animals was a tiny turtle by the name Pokito. Pokito heard about this Elephant and wanted to see him. Being a young and playful turtle, he thought it would be great to be friends with the giant elephant. So one day, he walked up to Bulig who was like a mountain compared to Pokito. But Pokito wasn’t afraid. He said, “Hi great Bulig! Can I be your friend?” All the animals around Bulig gasped in horror. Who dared speak to Bulig in that way? Does he know what he was saying? Poor turtle! Bulig was insulted that a little creature was not worshipping him as a god. So he snorted and growled his usual growl and said, “I will crush you!” But Pokito was a wise turtle. He saw that behind Bulig’s size was great weakness. He felt pity for him. So he simply said, “Bulig, I just want to be your friend. If you don’t want to, that’s fine. I’ll just go on my merry way…” As he turned around, Bulig got even angrier and snorted and growled again and said in a bigger voice, “I WILL CRUSH YOU!” All the animals scampered behind bushes, rocks, and trees. It was the first time they heard Bulig this angry. Pokito turned around to face the giant again and said calmly, “Bulig, I wouldn’t do that if I were you. You might hurt yourself…” Bulig’s face turned red as a fire truck. He stood up. Or at least tried to. Remember, it has been years since he even stood up! “Ummph… Ummmph…. Ummmmmmmph!” Bulig struggled and struggled but couldn’t stand up! “Bulig, please don’t do that…” Pokito said. All the animals left their hiding places. They were totally shocked to see their god having difficulty standing up! Finally, Bulig’s legs folded and he came crashing to the ground. Whaaam! Bulig was now in pain, but his humiliation was even greater than any physical pain he was feeling at that moment. First, a little monkey began to jeer. Soon, other monkeys joined him. And after awhile, all the animals began to ridicule Bulig. They taunted him and called him names. “Weakling!”, “Fatso!”, and “Blubberhouse!” That was when Pokito screamed, “Stooooooooop it!” Everyone hushed at the brave turtle in front of them. “For years, you worshipped Bulig as a god,” Pokito said, “but now, you’re insulting him as the enemy. Why are you doing that? Bulig is just one of us, just like any other animal.” Pokito marched to the embarrassed, whimpering Bulig and said, “Do you need help to stand up?” Sheepishly, Bulig nodded his head. The turtle turned to the other elephants, “Help your friend stand up.” The other elephants were astounded by the wisdom of the little turtle. All of them went beside the giant, and together, pushed him up. With great effort, the huge elephant stood up. With his knees still trembling, Bulig smiled at the turtle and quietly said, “Thank you. You are the real giant.” Pokito smiled. “Thank you.” Bulig asked, “Can you be my friend?” The turtle said, “On one condition. You have to join me in jogging every morning.” He winked. And all the animals broke out in laughter.
I wrote this little story for Mustard, our children’s magazine. But the powerful lessons in the story aren’t for children only. In fact, I believe adults need to hear them more than kids do!
Here are the 7 life-changing lessons from the story:
Lesson #1:
Don’t look for worshippers; Look for true friends instead. Not all friends are created equal. Some friends are just fans. They admire you. They flatter you. They fear you. They benefit from you. But when you need them, they’re not there. Choose true friends over fans anytime. When you have a problem, they’ll stick there by your side.
Lesson #2:
The best way to look for a true friend is to be one. Are you a true friend? Do you care for people? Do you go out of your way to express your love for them? The best investment you’ll ever make will be in your relationships. There lies your true gold.
Lesson #3:
Bullies are weak. Avoid them or face up to them, but never be afraid of them. Do you have bullies in your life? You’ll always cross paths with bullies. Bullies intimidate people. Bullies want you to fear them. They manipulate you to follow them. Depending on the situation, you can avoid them or face up to them. But never be afraid of bullies. Because all bullies are fake. With their outward force, they cover up their weakness. But deep within, a bully is a fragile child with lots of fears.
Lesson #4:
When someone doesn’t like to be your friend, just walk off and go on your merry way. Life is too beautiful to be sad at one person’s rejection. People-pleasers want to please everyone. And when one person rejects them, they die within. Because people-pleasers need to be needed. When a person rejects them, they get hurt deeply—and carry this hurt wherever they go and allow this hurt to affect their lives forever. What does a mature person do when they receive rejection? They get hurt like everyone else but they don’t carry the hurt. They shake the dust of their feet and move on. They love themselves. They love life.
Lesson #5:
When someone is angry with you in an unjust way, pity that person. He will be hurting himself. Don’t pity yourself when you suffer unjust anger. Remember that unjust anger destroys the person who is angry, not you. Pity him.
Lesson #6:
Always be good and kind to everyone - whether he be a king or a beggar. Every human being you meet in life is God’s child. Whether he sits on a throne or lies on the mud, it makes no difference. That person is your family.
Lesson #7:
Your true size is measured by your courage, wisdom, and love. Are you a big person? Measure your courage and wisdom. By how you love, you shall know whether you have matured in life or not.

Always Busy
Busy,busy, busy. That's probably the most normal thing in one's work life, and home life or probably in life, period.
It was so fortunate (and in a speed of light) that we decided to go out for lunch. In an hour's time we met and began to exchange updates on how things are going in our turfs, especially at work.
On the sides, of course, we shared some delicious Filipino cuisine in a restaurant here in the South.
We tried the sinigang, the caldereta and my favorite sizzling bangus belly, Filipino beefsteak style. Dessert, fruit and milk shakes, hot brewed coffee, hot chocolate drink, these are available after a superb meal.
Filipinos love to get together and eat while chit-chatting away all sort of stories that are funny, entertaining, weird and unique. Added to these are the personal dramas at home and at the office, heheh. Still it was great to be with people whom you can just throw in all kinds of narrative life events, private jokes, life concerns and plans.
So, while, it is a fact of life to live in a busy atmosphere, have time and space for people. Keep your friends, they are treasures, and eat good food at the sides.

How Time Flies
I visited my former employer. I retired like ages ago and suddenly, I found myself dropping by at the company that has been my second home for years.
This multinational company is one that I've learned to love. I spent hours and hours, nights and days (at times with zero sleep), working. At times seems like it really isn't work 'coz it's fun and at other times, the situations are like hell, but I survived. With the hot and cold scenarios, I've discovered patience, hard-work, endurance, confidence, accomplishment, failure and Fun (with a capital F. I also found friends, very good Friends (also with a capital F).
My co-workers have changed in some ways. For some of them . . . more body bags while for some . . . more silver hairs. Others, I've been told, went to Canada or the US, some have transferred to another semiconductor company or simple resigned and have taken another career track. Though, a bigger number just stayed on with such loyalty.
So what's unusual? Nothing much I guess. It's just that time does fly so fast.

Find a Best Friend
Find a best friend but you need not have to like him or her all of the time. We don't agree with our friends all of the time but we try to understand each other. That's what friends are for. Let's hear it from the mouth of babes . . .

Just for laughs, right? The kid said he loves her mom.

One, Two . . . Pose
Good exercise, yup, not just those "one, two dance steps" . . . but more so the "one, two, three pose".
Wondergirls, they're back! Nobody, nobody but them, so hot.
After doing all the management work at home, they're off for some exercise. No, not mere dancing, but that "plus" activity of photo shoots, hahah.
It's good to keep a circle of friends who make the effort to tug you so hard you have to go, even if you feel a little heavy or plain lazy to move your feet (or at times your whole body).
In addition, we do not to overlook the fact that every after an event, comes the FB posting of photos with trickles of entertaining comments after a series of "you've been tagged on this photo, this photo and this photo".

Genes Reunited, Part II
Today, we feature Manuel. Manuel is a little boy whom Joaqui, my pet dog, met at the fun match of miniature schnauzers that was held in a newly renovated and upgraded mall in Makati, Metro Manila.
Manuel , to my surprise, is the twin brother of Enrique. Now who's Enrique to my dogs? Joaqui doesn't know him but Jasper does. Jasper is my other pet dog.
The idea is kinda cute. Jasper meeting Enrique in a dog show and Joaqui meeting the twin brother, Manuel in this dog show.
Manuel wasn't sure if he wants to be friends with Joaqui, 'coz Joaqui looks fierce, what with that beard.
Taking a step closer to Joaqui, Manuel realizes the dog is not a threat.
Testing the water, Manuel offers his hand to make friends as Joaqui looks on, seems like he's giving it some thought.
Manuel, looks him straight in the eyes, assuring him it's okay to be friends with little boys like him.
Manuel let's Joaqui be familiarized with him, his smell, his touch. Hmmm.
Now, they're friends.
Good boy, ET. No Manuel, he's name is Joaqui.

Genes Reunited, Part I
Whoof! Whoof! Whoof!
Tsup! The photo shows my pet dog kissing his new-found friend, Enrique, at one of the dog shows he joined.
My dog seemed to be always barking on kids. Maybe because the kids themselves are noisy and always in action, reflecting playfulness which my dog loves.
But here, he kisses the little boy who requested a photo with him.
My dog, barely a year old, has recently been added to the list of Philippine Champion Dogs. I am like a mother, so proud of a son.
I have a confession to make. I am not fond of dogs, or pets, so to say. When I was young, I remember my father taking care of an eagle and ducklings on the side. My older sister had a rock lobster and a Korean bug, while my brother had a rabbit and some guinea pigs. My mother took care of a dog who was a gift to my sister. How does one choose a pet, if ever he or she does decide on having one? I never had a pet of my own. I do not know how to care for a pet, what more a dog who is like a child. I needed some pet care information right away.
However, I always make the best of everything that comes my way. And what do you know, everything can be learned, if you put your heart in it (or if you have no choice). Even if I don't admit it, I am now into this pet thingy, dogs specifically.
Having my pets (surprise, I have two), did add color and graphics (flea ticks) to my life and my home. Way to go!!!
Money will buy you a pretty good dog, but it won't buy the wag of his tail.

newhorizon??? New Horizon Of Friends
Expanded my horizon of friendship, now with young dudes. They say you get to feel young (and hopefully be young yourself), when you hang out with the youth.
These guys and gals are super cool. But of course they kept on calling me Tita, out of respect. That's okay. I like their energy and their ability to just do what they want to do without hesitating (though at times I think they get conscious, you know how it is to be young). The young ones, now, are truly courageous, knowledgeable and seem to be ready to conquer the world and be just themselves.
I salute the youth and I pray that they make this a better world in their own unique ways.

Find Old School Friends . . . Reunited and Updated
Have been missing out on the organized mini reunions of my high school batch mates. Was able to attend just one grand reunion like ages ago. Finally, got the opportunity to be with my dear high school friends after three decades. What a blessing! We just tried out a tiny group of four for start, just to make sure it will push through. Schedules are really tight. Even the venue is a pain to select.
Seeing each other after all those years (31 years, the last time we saw each other we were just 7 years old I think or am I having some mental lapses, super senior moments here). Wow, we started to recall the good old days . . . instant flashbacks. Reviewed our girl scout camping and investiture, CAT/COCC trainings, birthday parties of the olden days, teachers, tests, unforgettable classmates, batchmates, schoolmates and matching events.
Our lunch meeting spread to a span of eight hours of updating and story-telling, so much catching up. We hope to see our other school mates, however, it's really tough to brew up a "get-together".
