On Going Diet – Third Month

April 14th, 2010 | Author: Marjonelle

I’m now on my third month of diet. I wonder what weight loss products will help me trim down fast. As to date, I only lost 2 inches from my measurement (waist line) and 7 lbs. from my weight. I know I have to exercise at the same time for faster weight loss but what can I do, I really find it tiring. I just came home from my friend’s father burial and met long time friends whom I haven’t seen for a long time. They noticed that I slimmed down a bit.

Well, I guess my effort is working!!! It’s better to lose weight gradually than never. Hahahaha

Is Global Crisis Over

April 13th, 2010 | Author: Marjonelle

You can see and meet Filipinos around the world. Yes and most of them are Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW). Why is that? Is it because of Philippine’s hopeless economy? or because of the Global Crisis that every nation is experiencing? It’s probably both. For Filipinos, global crisis isn’t over yet. There are numerous of unemployed (still growing) and having a college degree doesn’t mean having an employment assurance. Good thing and we should be thankful that there are huge demand for OFW. Like for instance there are jobs in Philadelphia, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and other countries to apply to and who recognize Filipino talents and skills.

POEA JOB FAIR

Why are we having this poor economy? Is it because we are known to be the no. 1 corrupt country in the whole wide world? Which also became the no. 1 reason that investors are hesitant to have business with us? When will this stop? When will our nation stand on its best? That’s the most difficult questions that nobody can answer. Today that National election is getting closer, you may ask, is there really a Presidential, Vice Presidential and Senatorial aspirants who can save us from drowning?

Happy Easter Sunday

April 4th, 2010 | Author: Marjonelle

Another Holy Week has passed, another Catholic Christian activities were done. It started on Palm Sunday and lasted today, Easter Sunday. As usual I attended the procession of Our Lady of Abadoned Church (OLA) in Marikina on Holy Wednesday and Good Friday. I am a St. Jude Thaddeus follower and been doing it for 30 years. I started at an early age and now doing it with Sean Kirk.

At an early age of 6, I am not expecting him to finish the procession because it’s really tiring so it ended up with riding on St. Jude’s float (karo). Thank God that he doesn’t need an allergy bedding to sleep soundly those exhausting nights. That’s one thing that I should be thankful to God.Sean is such a healthy young boy.

Today, we attended a mass. It is so meaningful and first time I attended an Easter mass, that after the homily, Father Arnel, the Parish Priest of Our Lady of Fatima in Greenpark Village, Cainta, Rizal asked the parishioners to put out the candles that we brought and let the Lay Ministers lit the candles and it’s like were being rebaptized. I regret that I didn’t able to bring candle with me. I can say generally that I did good this year’s holy week as I observed it wholeheartedly. How did you spend yours?

Acceptance: For Happy Life

April 1st, 2010 | Author: Marjonelle

“I am proud to say that I am a fortunate homosexual man. I am very blessed to be who I am.” This is the statement that Ricky Martin (the former Menudo member) posted in his Twitter. I was surprised but not really shocked when I heard the news. It happens to some male individuals. It’s just that this adorable singer is popular so it was sensationalized. I admire these people because they have the courage to admit to the public who they really are.

For instance, remember Rustom Padilla (Filipino celeb now known as Bb Gandanghari)? who joined Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) for the purpose of telling the public that he’s a gay? After the announcement he lives a happy life now. So I’m sure Ricky Martin will have the same. He will live a worry-free and happy life with his twin sons. To you Ricky, if ever you passed by my blog, I wanna tell you that I am proud of you to have the courage in admitting to the public even it may affect your profession. Pls. visit Manila once more. We missed u a lot. Mabuhay ka!!! So you guys out there! Accepting the truth will set you free so go! go! go!
