This One Had The Best Day Ever! In Tagaytay

"Hoooooorrrrssssseeeeee!!"

My son kept on saying that word out loud when he saw a real horse! Oh yes it was real and I didn't realize a horse had a smell which my almost-two-year-old son was oblivious about. He was just so excited and fascinated by the horses.

On Palm Sunday 2014, I thought to attend The Feast in PICC and also hear the Mass there but I got wind up watching an exciting fight of Pacquaio. Actually, I was surprised that I still found it fun to watch this new fight of the Pambansang Kamao after all the his recent fight performances... Anyway, we ran out of time to attend our regular sessions in PICC so I decided to just go the neighborhood for the Mass so off we went to Lourdes Church in Tagaytay, me, my son and my sister.

After the Mass in Lourdes Church where Oriel, that's my son, had his fair share of awesomely irritating usual stints (he wanted to join the basketball where kids 4 times his size were playing, he pulled live plants from its roots and put them away, he pulled me to go up and down and up and down and up and down the stairs of the church, he ran around, he opened closed the church windows, he cried out loud whenever I stopped him, wow, I love this baby), we rode a jeepney to take us to the Picnic Grove.  My sister said that there are horses there so we chose it.

As soon as Oriel saw the horses, he shrieked in excitement and couldn't make up whether to cry or laugh in disbelief that he was seeing a real live breathing beautiful horse in his entire life!   And in my entire life! Duh, it was my first time too and the other thing that was so amazing about them horses was there strong, very strong smell! Hehe.

Anyway, my sister and I tried to find food first since we felt very hungry but as soon as we moved away from the field, Oriel started wailing with tears flowing like the Niagara Falls.  So what could a good mother like me do? Well, I had to give him the best day of his life by far, among many many others to come in the future. 

This post is for him as a souvenir of his Best Day yet...

Icons and Heroes Defined

What does icon mean? The dictionary on my phone has five meanings of icon depending on the words' use.  Well here on my blog, an icon means none of that defined in my phone's dictionary and instead takes its modern definition from the wikipedia which says that an "icon" is  in the general sense of symbol — i.e. a name, face, picture, edifice or even a person readily recognized as having some well-known significance or embodying certain qualities: one thing, an image or depiction, that represents something else of greater significance through literal or figurative meaning, usually associated with religious, cultural, political, or economic standing. Ok, so it says symbol so I my dictionary had it right after all. What about heroes? Heroes is the plural form of hero. Kidding!  A hero or heroin for a female is again from my phone takes this meanings: Taking these meanings, icons and heroes are just synonymous with each other. Anyway...

Why Four Hours of Travel To and From Work is a Blessing

Another normal day today. Normal day to me is staying inside the house. Doing a few minutes of yoga in the morning... Eating. Taking a bath. Cleaning the house. Washing my clothes. Doing facebook. Calling my son and the rest of the family back in the Philippines. Trying to do all the things I've listed in my To-do list for the day. This last one takes a lot a discipline. Because, I end up watching movies online instead. Funny because I always hoped I was not employee working for an employer, I mean that I should be my own boss in my own company so that I can do all the things that I need to do everyday. All those target results the need to be achieved. All the lessons and courses that need to be studied. The blogs that I need to write. The pages that I need to update. The exercises that I need to do. And then comes weekend. Then nothing. It's like I'm paralyzed and just sit forever browsing through facebook, youtube, instagram. I look at my blogs and I just...

Why These Three Countries Are On My List of Places To Visit

About two weeks ago, I played the Cashflow Classic game .  I've been reading Robert Kiyosaki's Retire Young Retire Rich book so I got acquainted to this online board game which is about getting out of the rat race by having passive income (the term used to making money work for the person) and increasing it,  thereby making the person reach the goal of having more passive income than expenses which will let the person out of the rat race.  The second stage after the rat race is "the fast track"  where the person's goal is to buy his/her dream by accumulating 50,000 USD per month cash flow. So this game taught me to having a mindset to increase my P/E ratio or the passive income to expenses ratio. Not only that, it also created a drive in me to reach my dream.  Yes, DREAM no S. Why?  The Cashflow Classic game will let its player (or players) choose his/her dream.  I found out that in spite of my massive dreams to become rich, own houses, mansions...
