>>>> I just rented another set of movies to watch, and this is the very first one I want to watch first. I love movies like this about disasters on earth, cause it is so unique, thrilling, and not ordinary unlike any other movies. In this movie, those who died of mesothelioma would rather be thankful that they died, instead of living in a disastrous and catastrophic world like this shown in the movie. I am excited to watch this, and let’s just see if it delivers to my expectations.

Someone asked me how often I make updates on this blog of mine. That got me thinking. Honestly, I don’t have any schedule to follow. If I feel I wanna write, I write. So, that explains why there are multiple postings on a single date, and the date of the next update, is unpredictable. Depends, on when I get time, and when I feel like writing.

So, now I would like to implement a blog posting schedule to follow, to make it more organized. And for you, to have something to watch out for. There is a one day interval, as yours truly is very busy with her full time job, updating multiple blogs (about 7 of them), taking care of her little baby and family.

Monday – Blogger Featured Interview, Personal Update
Wednesday – Tuesday Toot  (wednesday here is tuesday in the US, you get it?)
Friday – Sayings/Quote line and my opinion about it, Personal Update
Sunday – Self-Development Article, Personal Update
So, there you go. I will try to follow up this strictly so as to make everything as a routine.

When you think having a baby is all about happiness and all those joyful moments with your baby, your doomed. Thou shall not expect this all the time. Having a baby will be more about sacrifice, lots of efforts, patience, money and everything else that comes along with it. You have to invest your time in her, so both of you will be close. You have to sacrifice having a good night rest, cause you have to keep waking up in the middle of the night, setting your alarm to prepare her milk. You have to be so patience in dealing with her. A lot of patience is indeed needed, specially when the child is throwing a trantrum. I only have one child, and there are a lot of people, helping me out, but I would say that it is still difficult. It’s not that easy. Everytime I hear a baby cry, even if its just the child of our neighbor, my heart thumps and I have to see to it my baby is okay.
I think about mothers dealing with 2, 3, 4 or even 5 children. I think about how strong they are, and how hard it must be for them.

I just have to keep praying that I will be a good mother to my child, and I will rear her up to be a healthy, happy and successful child someday. Most of all, I want her to be God-fearing and God-loving. I may not be able to give everything in the world to her (as much as I’d like to) but I surely would give the best that I can give. I’ll leave everything else to God, the real owner of my child.

What I love about my work, is that we are given 2 days of day off every week. So, our work is only 5 times a week. I can’t imagine if we only have 1 day off. That would be so cruel. It’s only during days off that I get to do the things I love to do, whether its in the house or outside. It’s only the days that I get to really take a rest, and relax for some time. It’s only the days that I get to see my baby at home and spend time with her. Our work is very toxic and stressful specially for a mom like me who also has outside obligations. My family is my priority, they are the reason why I work hard.

As of now, I’m typing at home, updating my blogs and doing assignments, which I only get to do so much during my day offs. During work days, I can blog an hour a day if I am lucky, other times I can’t or I simply don’t. But now, there are so much thing to do in the blogosphere, so I’m gonna be spending time with that. Of course, i will be spending time with my little one. I’ll probably take her somewhere. I wish I could also visit IT park at night, cause its a very breathtaking and relaxing place, where others also stay. You can see people walking, exercising, playing and lying in the ground which has bermuda grass. IT park is in Lahug Cebu, and that’s where most of the call centers and big establishments are. This park is in the center, and its surrounded by buildings. It’s a very big park, but it’s getting smaller cause every day, new buildings are popping out. I hope they will preserve the park. It’s just the nearest park in our place.

The power of belief, the strength to win. This is what this movie is all about.

Synopsis: In his six years of high school football, coach Grant Taylor has never led his Shiloh Eagles to a winning season. When faced with seemingly insurmountable professional and personal crises, the idea of giving up has never come easier. It’s only after an unexpected visor challenges him to trust in his power of faith that he discovers the strength to persevere.

I love to watch movies like this that add value into your life. Movies that aim to teach us a specific important life lesson, that we often overlook. This movie is just like fireproof, cause both movies teaches the power of faith in life. Actually, fireproff was directed by the director of Facing the Giants too, so they have some similarity since bot of them have something we all can learn from. Well, I’d always love to watch football films, there are plenty of them out there. I do think though, that football is a dangerous game, so all players should have an insurance lead, just in case they are injured or something. It is a very physical game, so it can’t be avoided that some break a neck, a leg or an arm while playing. Anyway, I am excited to watch this movie I’ve rented from video city.

What would you do if you become suddenly transforms from rugs to riches. When you no longer have to settle with free hotel night stays, but enjoy the luxurious of any kind of five star and expensive hotel establishments. When you can eat all your favorite foods, and wear all your favorite clothes. Wow, that would be amazing? What more, if you can use your money to get back to your enemies and show them revenge! Aha, there’s a good movie for that, the Count of Monte Cristo shows you how revenge can make you want to live more and be more.

Synopsis: Jim Caviezel (Angel Eyes) and Guy Pearce (L.A Confidential), two of the hottest young actors today, give sizzling performance s alongside Richard Harris (Harry Potter) in The Count of Monte Cristo – the greatest tale of betrayal, adventure and revenge the world has ever known.

When the dashing and guileless Edmond Dantes (Caviezel) is betrayed by his friend (Pearce) and wrongly imprisoned, he becomes consumed by thoughts of vengeance. After a miraculous escape, he transforms himself into the mysterious and wealthy Count of Monte Cristo, insinuates himself into the French nobility and puts his cunning plan into action. From the director of Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves and the producers of the Sixth Sense, this swashbuckling thriller will have you sitting on the edge of your seat until the last ounce of revenge is exacted.

That’s all that I can say to those who are too stressed out and are on the verge of nervous breakdown or burnout. That’s something I have to be reminded of constantly, as I myself have a great tendency to worry and get bogged down by all the small details of my life. There are times that in my quest to achieve a set goal, I forget what’s really important.

We handle too many goals, appointments and commitments. We go from one activity to another. Later on, we wonder why everything seems not to make sense at all. It is important to be happy with what you do, and if you are not, you have to re evaluate your life, and think whether the things you are doing are really what you want, the things that can truly make you happy.

I find it funny sometimes. We tend to work so hard and deprive ourselves of real happiness, logically reasoning out that you are working hard because you want a better future. A future when you have lots of money and time to spare that you can just enjoy time for yourself, enjoying a book or playing in the sun, or enjoy some happy bonding with your family. But then, if you really think about it, you can choose to be happy right now. Not tomorrow when everything becomes perfect as you would like them to be, but right exactly at this moment. You can breathe and experience living truly, and do the things you want to do. You don’t have to be a millionaire to do it. You can do it right now.

That is just one realization that I have. I learned that and I hope to be reminded of that truth every single day. Life itself is a gift, and its all perfect, even if it seems that its not. We already have what we want, we just need to open our eyes.
