BDJ Fair 2012: Seven Days To Go! :)

The BDJ Fair is less than 2 weeks away (seven days to be exact)!  See you at the SM MOA Music Hall on October 14, from 10am to 10pm! Aside from their interesting line-up of guest speakers and fun activities, I’m super excited to check out the latest editions of the BDJ Power Planner, Navi: Your Lifestyle Navigator, and their newest babies – the everything is possible planner and newest edition of the BDJ FMN notebooks! The best part is: They will all be available at the fair for 20% off! :D Belle de Jour Power Planner The Belle de Jour (BDJ) Power Planner is especially made for the Pinay fashionista achiever. The term Belle de Jour (bel duh zhoor') is French fashion lingo for "It" girl, and we have redefined it to mean the modern day renaissance woman who dares to achieve her goals, lives her dream life, makes a difference in her community, all while doing everything in great style. All pages reflect the uniqueness of the BDJ Girl.  The BDJ Power...

Vincentian Hills: Close to Nature, Closer to God

Last week we went to Angono to check the venue of our Intimacy Weekend next month.  Vincentian Hills Seminary is a 50-year old structure seated on top of a hill overlooking Laguna Bay and the Sierra Madre Mountains. To reach the place by public transportation, one has to take a jeepney to Binangonan via Double Highway (Manila East Road) and get off at Col. Guido St. (Landmarks: Right - Scapyard Cafe, Left - 7-Eleven). You'll know it's time to alight the vehicle when you see the billboard of Thunderbird Resort. :) From there you can ride a tricycle that will take you to the gate of Vincentian Hills. Upon reaching the gate, you will need to walk uphill towards the main building. It isn't really a steep climb but it can still make you sweat. And it will be the start of your journey to God, with God. :) You will pass by a bridge where you can see mini waterfalls and a grotto. After the bridge, you will be led into prayer by the prayer guides beginning with Hail...

(Almost) Birthday Wishes

I got this notification last October 1 and yeah, thank God for Facebook which reminds people of stuff they should not forget - anniversaries and birthdays. :) And since my birthday is due in a week's time, I thought of making my simple wish list (since causes  encouraged me to make one). Here it is:  No more lives torn apart And wars would never start And time would heal all hearts And everyone would have a friend And right would always win And love would never end Looks familiar? Well of course, I just copied the lyrics of a popular Christmas song. :D Seriously though, it's part of my wish list - world peace. :) And here are some more: 1. Financial resources - for me to pay my bills, contribute to our monthly expenses (food, rent, and utilities), buy my medicines, and pay for the tests and consultation fees :) 2. Good health for me and the members of my family - negative results, please :) 3. Daily inspiration, motivation and strength - God knows I ...

Simple Joys :)

Here I go again... sick and had no choice but to stay at home and get some rest (which I believe I badly need). But this time it's getting more serious. Because it's already the third time this year that I've been hit with the same disease, I was advised to undergo further tests. I'm scheduled for ultrasound next Tuesday and I'm praying for resources and a negative result. :)  Ask. Believe. Claim. :) Instead of whining and minding about this discomfort and pain, I believe it would be more helpful for me to just reminisce and think of happy thoughts (as Peter Pan would always say). So let me share some of my simple joys since last week. :)  But let me begin with this: PINKerbelle ♥ Lawrence sent this to me more than two years ago with this message:  "Something that can help you fight lagnat. Hehe. Good afternoon. :)" During that time, he was just making small gestures to make me feel special but he hasn't spoken anythin...
