to Godliness.”</i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“Health is wealth.”<o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What have these two popular sayings got to do with
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/metrohousekeeper"><i>housekeeping</i></a>? A lot! Well, let’s take a look at what Google says about good housekeeping
so you’ll understand why. </p><p class="MsoNormal">Housekeeping is not just about cleanliness. More than that,
it likewise refers to maintaining the office or your workplace, keeping it
tidy, neat and orderly, where halls and floors are free from slip and trip
hazards, waste matters disposed of properly, and most importantly, fire hazards
are removed as well. Hence, when you work and live in a fresh and clean
surrounding, there will always be the feeling that God is just close by, inside
your heart, your mind, all over your abode.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgo8Of96vgB-tR56W9WhXjKdvfFFJUgRHuOdhCgaPhcNfCcaMCfSeWrMcVRahAk7DG4G7VeJ8woFxuCi3P5bijij-eTEkK157DQDFa5zOYLiv_Euu5p116VRXdBKBYHDCtSIy8hmMF9otocKfHjlFBScw5RJe_NkbwkMOYd3I21wssoenkV6TNhaDGW-Q/s612/washing%20dishes.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="408" data-original-width="612" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgo8Of96vgB-tR56W9WhXjKdvfFFJUgRHuOdhCgaPhcNfCcaMCfSeWrMcVRahAk7DG4G7VeJ8woFxuCi3P5bijij-eTEkK157DQDFa5zOYLiv_Euu5p116VRXdBKBYHDCtSIy8hmMF9otocKfHjlFBScw5RJe_NkbwkMOYd3I21wssoenkV6TNhaDGW-Q/w320-h213/washing%20dishes.jpg" width="320" /></a><br /><o:p></o:p><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal">Just imagine how great your life would be even if you’re not
rich i.e., when your home is in proper order – aah the peace and harmony you’ve
been longing for. Further, when your workplace and home are clean, illness is
at bay.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Truth be told, being clean is
being healthy. That being said, every household member or office worker becomes
a happy soul.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>The Importance of

Tagbilaran and Panglao have shopping centers where tourists can buy sovenir items at reasonable prices aside from malls, restaurants and wet markets. Both also have their respective airports. Oh by the way, from Cebu we took a fast craft for Tagbilaran and same in getting back.

<b><span style="font-size: x-large;"><i>I</i></span></b> have been to Hong Kong some years back (2017) and of course no tourist would ever want to miss a visit to HK Ocean Park. This time, I had the chance to go see one of Cebu City's newest pride - its own <a href="https://www.facebook.com/fashionistamumnor/?modal=admin_todo_tour" target="_blank">Ocean Park</a>. Though it's a little bit not as luxurious as the one in HK yet, the experience in September 2019 was surprisingly equally exhilarating.</div>

Below are glimpses of such an unforgettable experience. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words, so I will just have to post more and say less, okay?<br />

Since it was on a weekday when we got there, the rate was Php 600 per guest with 20% discount for senior citizens. Of course, kids had a much more lower rates but charges are higher during weekends.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif";">In
a wider sense, anybody can become a bodybuilder. Yet, it all depends on
your definition of success. Now, if you're seeing a six-pack abs or larger and stronger arm muscles and leg muscles, then perhaps, that's success for you! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif";">There
are the ones whose purpose is to grow ‘much bigger’ than they once used
to be, with body fats lessened or totally gone. Hence, whatever your objective, there should be no reason to fail as long as you have the
interest and will-power. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif";">Remember, this entails so much hard work and discipline. So, to
‘get there’, you need to reflect and ask yourself, “Is bodybuilding for me?” If you’re
determined to make yourself physically and mentally fit, do your due diligence. To experience the health benefits of strenuous exercise, research more.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoBodyText" style="mso-pagination: widow-orphan; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif";">Its a fact that the vigorous exercises in bodybuilding lower the risk of plaque
build-up inside the arteries popularly known as coronary heart
disease. The arteries bring oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscles, so when exercising, these parts are stimulated. There can be no build-up
of the waxy substance called plaque if you exercise regularly.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

a woman’s body undergoes various physical and psychological changes as well, oftentimes
aren’t understood enough, or just neglected and taken for granted. These symptoms
affect a woman’s everyday activities and quite a lot of them simply don’t know
how to manage. However, most symptoms are not serious that they may just vanish
even without medication or treated with <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/fashionistamumnor/?modal=admin_todo_tour" target="_blank">all-natural remedies</a></b>. </span></span></div>

that menopausal symptoms for instance, sleep problems, hot flashes, night
sweats, fatigue, migraine headaches, vaginal dryness and itching can influence
mood and well-being. The reduction in the levels of the hormone estrogen during
peri-menopause and menopause might also affect mood. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><b><i>B</i></b></span><span style="font-size: large;">een blogging for so long yet when I visited this spot just recently I was shocked to find out that my last post was still from December 2017! What kept me busy for the last two years I was absent on the blogosphere? Let me recall. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">2018</span></b><span style="font-size: large;"> - <b>PART 1 </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Loss of a Loved One</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Little did we know that January 2018 would be the last moments to share with our family head. While the entire family was enjoying the usual New Year's eve frolic, we haven't had the slightest hint that my husband was so sick inside. He just complained of some bloatedness coz he said he left his jacket back in Cebu and that inside the Mactan International Airport it was so cold and even inside the plane. <br /><br />Once he boarded the car when we fetched him up at Davao International Airport just before midnight of Dec. 31st, he asked for some liniment. And good we had it in the car. Later during the party he asked for some tummy pain reliever and then again we had one in the medicine kit. He was feeling okay for the first two weeks of January but on the third week he had to be hospitalized as his condition started to get bad. He was diagnosed to have liver cirrhosis. He was released after 3 days but continued medication at home and on the second time he was admitted for a much more worsening case, he finally succumbed. He left us on February 1st.</span><br />

<b style="font-size: x-large;">Suddenly Jobless</b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">In August, I was all of a sudden out of work (my home-based job I mean) coz my employer of 5 years just messaged me I was out. And that was that. No if's no but's. Nevertheless I managed to find some writing jobs that somehow afforded me food on the table and let me pay the bills and tuition/other school fees in return. Yes, to me those were blessings from the Almighty who didn't want me to go hungry! And there were lots of memorable trips and occasions I had with my highschool batch. That year was still more of good memories although I had less financially (sigh).</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>After The Grief...Joy</b><br /><br />Most of the good memories from 2018 were those spent with my highschool friends from batch 76. Glimpses of our activities below.</span><br />

you heard it right. We flew all the way to the Queen City of the South from
Davao in the Land of Promise. We made Cebu the entry point to the groups’

every day that high school classmates get to bond together and go to areas
outside of their hometown. But, we did, all eight of us (7 ladies +1 gent). Our
flight to Cebu was on Sept. 12<sup>th</sup> and the journey ended on the 18<sup>th</sup>.
Because we are suckers for promos, we were able to chance upon a promo flight
as early as March of the same year. It was literally six months of waiting!

before that, we made a stop at Carcar’s shoe arcade where the girls bought some
cheap footwear for pasalubong. And the excitement mounted as the van driver
directed us to the pasalubong center in Carcar. There, we had a buying frenzy,
as if there was no tomorrow. We were tempted to buy its world-famous chicharon,

<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">H</span></b><span style="font-size: large;">ave you ever been on a cruise? If
you haven’t, good to know that the sailing itself plus the boat’s amenities are
what make the experience exciting! It’s a great way of rewarding yourself for
completing a year or two of hard labor. If you’re going by your lonesome, fine,
coz it means less expense. </span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-size: large;">However, if you’re going in a group or as a family then,
that w</span></span><span style="font-size: large;">ould entail perhaps, those extra cash incentives, bonuses, overtime pays,
all for the sake of loved ones. Be aware though, going on a cruise holiday is
no simple joke.</span><br />

Well, first of all, there’s a change of scenery or environment whenever you get
to a certain place new to you. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

to meet a new friend or two even if you don’t remember their names. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">I’ve been to a lot of places in the Philippines, some awesome while
others are just so-so. My first trip outside of my hometown of Davao was when I
was 13 years old. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">My father (may he rest in peace), used to bring us siblings to summer
vacations to where his ship went. You see, he was a ship purser. We’ve been to
GenSan, Zambo, Cebu, Iloilo, Manila, back in the 70s.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">During my college days in Cebu, my boardmates used to go home to their
respective hometowns during the sem break and more often than not, I used to be
alone in the boarding house during breaks. So, I thought maybe, it would be
kind of fun if I went with them to their areas. So, vacation times saw me
travelling to Oslob, Sibonga and Tabuelan, Lapu-lapu City, all in Cebu, plus
Cagayan de Oro and Surigao, all in Mindanao.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

brought me to different places – Bacolod, Dumaguete, Iloilo, Manila, plus
different municipalities of Cebu. Of course, since the internet wasn’t
popularly-used and no smartphones yet in those times, the memories were left between

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">I had my first crack at seeing other lands outside of my own country Philippines,
in the summer of 2017, courtesy of my kid sister and niece. They sponsored my very
first leisure trip to Hongkong and Macau, China. And since the happiness and
enjoyment cannot be contained anymore, I had to blog about them and shared the
excitement I felt to the whole wide world.

<br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">I</span></b><span style="font-size: large;">n this blog I'm going to show you Macau. For those who haven't heard of it, here's a food for thought:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Macau or otherwise spelled as Macao, is an autonomous region situated in the southeast coast of China. If you know Las Vegas in USA as the gambling capital of the world, be amazed that this once sleepy fishing port has grabbed the title, according to reports.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Being Asia's popular gambling Mecca, of course, big and small time gamblers sail to the place which is just an hour away by ferry from Hong Kong!</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI5cd4MzlmC4BRRRL8UfZfWVYcO-ZPNQiC5-TOQlMB3o2uyQf-NdpSsLI6l7wZu0AZAbgWdTOhWO4_HlFhcuu7CYYnZs2H8PQK2m3Za9b6x2oXI_9YnlguRW3jblk6dIw23XFCavWYzHzD/s1600/20170417_132403.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="963" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI5cd4MzlmC4BRRRL8UfZfWVYcO-ZPNQiC5-TOQlMB3o2uyQf-NdpSsLI6l7wZu0AZAbgWdTOhWO4_HlFhcuu7CYYnZs2H8PQK2m3Za9b6x2oXI_9YnlguRW3jblk6dIw23XFCavWYzHzD/s400/20170417_132403.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Unfortunately, my friends and I didn't go there to gamble because first, we don't have the capital. And second, we don't advocate gambling.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We went there as a side trip from Hong Kong to immerse in its beauty even for just a day only. This city inhabited by less than 600,000 people, is home to cobblestone lanes, colonial mansions and buildings, churches, parks, temples and many more. Both Chinese and Portuguese motifs and influences are so apparent in Macau.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">To get to Macau, you have to take the ferry. It's good that from where we billeted along Jordan St., it was only one ride to the ferry terminal. The best thing, you need not secure a visa; just your passport will do if you're in HK. At the ferry terminal, everything was so systematic and fast. Note the cleanliness.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So here, again, I won't be wordy but, more of picturesque-ky. Enjoy my pics!!!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">As promised, I am sharing with you my experience at Ocean Park Hong Kong. Seems like it was only yesterday when my buddies and I visited the place yet, it's been around 7 months after that I'm writing this.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Y'all know I've been so busy with full-time job as a professional writer, then I went to Cebu for a much needed week-long vacay in September, wrote reviews for Tripadvisor, then spent some time to my long-overdue free eBook, and on top of all these, just started our online travel business (Facebook page Trouvaille Tours Davao)...Whew! With all these tasks, who can sit down and write her thoughts about travelling?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Well anyways, it's here now whether you like to read or not!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Since it's my first time to be in an ocean park (Philippines has got one in Manila), I had high expectations of Ocean Park Hong Kong. And true enough, the park was beyond my expectations. At first I only imagined aquatic life in all its splendor, but then, I saw more than that. Since I cannot fully express my experience in words, I have to share it with pictures:</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I think the most exciting moment was my first cable ride ever. I've been on a plane many times before but being on a cable car is much more fascinating. You're on top of the world and yet, oh so near! The views down below the Hong Kong skyline is just so magnificent. Again, words aren't enough, so please witness my exhilaration through these photos:</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Truly, Hong Kong in general is dream-come-true for first-time travellers abroad like me. I remember what our Chinese tour guide said - that HK lives on tourism and what keeps their tourism alive is the word-of-mouth promotion of people who have been there. Now, I'm doing my share. Why don't you go, too and see it for yourself?</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">As promised, I am sharing my pictures here to show how much I enjoyed my experience in the fabulous city of Hong Kong. In my previous blog, I talked about my HK vacation in general. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Today, I will be sharing photos of our escapade in Disneyland. Just a look at the faces of me and my colleagues will tell you the immeasurable excitement and happiness we felt. Enjoy my pics as much as I do...</span><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The first
thing that caught my attention (and curiosity) upon arrival was the HK skies. While up there, pilot
announced we have to hang around for a while since there was heavy traffic on
the ground. So, I got a good view of the sunny afternoon skies plus the views
down below and thought it was just around 4 pm when in fact twas already 6 pm.
Back in my country, the 6 pm sky is already a bit dark. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I was so
amazed of the HK airport – vast, clean, modern, somewhat complicated…oh my geez…
words aren’t enough! I am so used to seeing the local airports back home –
simple, poor Internet connection, in a few minutes you’re up at the small pre-dep
area. What amazed me more is that there’s a train down the underground to get
to the main exit! It was really like “WOW” with my first ever train ride in HK!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14pt;">From the airport,
it was a long drive in our tourist bus towards Kowloon, where our hotel was, in
the business district. Since it was already nightfall, all the lights of HK
went on and the metropolis was just so dazzling! I could only say to myself, “so
this is the famous Hong Kong skyline” which was very apparent as we passed by
bridges and road networks, as well as along the Victoria Harbour.</span></div>

<br />
I'm still preparing...<br />
<br />
Will be out of the country in a few days from today...<br />
<br />
God-willing...Inshaallah!! <b><a href="http://humanresourcedavao.com/" target="_blank">Hong Kong here I come</a></b>!!!<br />
<br />
<b><i><span style="font-size: large;">Throwback</span></i></b><br />
<br />
Funny how I was made to write an article about Hong Kong some years back when I applied as a writer for a BPO company. Since I knew nothing about such place except that it's a very exciting holiday destination from what I read, I wrote, <i>"I haven't been to Hong Kong ever in my life, so I can't fully describe the place...blah blah blah."</i> And what do you expect? I wasn't taken in!<br />
<br />
Because I'm a positive thinker, I applied for the same position in another BPO company and good that the COO told me to write about something closest to my heart, as part of my application process. I wrote something about peacebuilding among the tri-peoples of Mindanao. That very same day, I was told to go home and get my laptop and start working. And the rest is history.<br />
<br />
I've written about a thousand articles for various niches - food, health and fitness, business, even porn, done some adverts and marketing contents, among others. I even tried making reviews on TripAdvisor which I fancy so much - this after I've gone to so many places and eaten various food offerings!<br />
<br />
Today is another exciting day for writing because I am going to write about my Hong Kong experience! Below is what I found on Google:<br />
<br />
<i><b><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">"Hong Kong is an autonomous territory, and former British colony, in southeastern China. Its vibrant, densely populated urban center is a major port and global financial hub with a skyscraper-studded skyline.</span></span></b></i><br />
<i><b><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><br /></span></span></b></i>
<i><b><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">Central (the business district) features architectural landmarks like I.M. Pei’s Bank of China Tower. Hong Kong is also a major shopping destination, famed for bespoke tailors and Temple Street Night Market."</span> </span></b></i><br />

alive today and saw the sunrise and smelled fresh air is a very big thing to

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">But, <b><a href="http://humanresourcedavao.com/" target="_blank">gratitude works</a></b> and in reality,
it can help us cope with the hard times. According to <b><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">Robert A. Emmons, Ph.D</span></b><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">., the world's leading scientific expert on gratitude</span><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">, <b><i>“</i></b></span><b><i>Not only will a grateful attitude
help—it is </i></b><em><b><u><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; font-style: normal; padding: 0cm;">essential</span></u></b></em><b><i>.
In fact, it is precisely under crisis conditions when we have the most to gain
by a grateful perspective on life.”</i></b><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: white; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">So, what does he mean by this? Emmons elaborates by
saying further that:<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<i><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">“In
the face of demoralization, gratitude has the power to energize. In the face of
brokenness, gratitude has the power to heal. In the face of despair, gratitude
has the power to bring hope. In other words, gratitude can help us cope with
hard times.”<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><span style="background: white; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Please don’t misinterpret my copying his words
verbatim because I simply don’t want to miss a thing. I am just so captivated
by his perspective on gratitude that I am sharing his views here. Yet, he warns
us that “</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">gratitude will not come easily or naturally in a crisis.” So true!<span style="background: white;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 7.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Emmons
has made various researches to prove that these things are all true. Crisis
situations in life can make us more thankful. When being grateful has become a
way of life, we actually have built some kind of psychological immune system
that’s like a soft pillow to support us when we collapse.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The word ‘Dialogue’ has several meanings. In ordinary
layman’s term, it refers to an exchange of communication between two people.
It’s like having a message you want to convey to a person. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Such person receives the message and gives a feedback or a
response to show that he acknowledges receipt of that which was conveyed. What
matters here is that the sender and receiver of the message understand each
other. Period! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Nonetheless, there’s another <b><a href="http://humanresourcedavao.com/" target="_blank">form of dialogue</a></b> with a
much deeper meaning to people of a certain religious persuasion. Vatican has created an office called the
Pontifical Council for the Promotion of Dialogue. It is an arm of their church
tasked to reach out to believers of other living faiths, such as Islam,
Buddhism, other Christian churches, and so on. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">It doesn’t mean though that said church is out to ‘convert’
believers of other religions into the said faith. Rather, this type of dialogue
aims to foster a deeper friendship with the ‘others’ through whatever means. It
could be through study of certain aspects of their respective faiths, through sports,
ecumenical services, simple consultative discussions, even through fellowship
meals.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I was lucky enough to be a witness to a real dialogue of life
several times in the past between theologians of a major seminary and families in
the Islamic areas around Davao City, in the island of Mindanao, Philippines.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">For more than ten years since 2001, our local ministry in
Ecumenical and Interreligious Dialogue has been helping the said seminary
facilitate their Immersion Program to Muslim Communities. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">In such program, the graduating seminarians are to spend one
full week living with chosen Muslim families belonging to tribes like Kagan,
Tausog, Maranaw, Sama, among others. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Imagine the fear etched in most of
the seminarians’ faces when they learned that they have to stay for a week with
their Muslim foster families! Of course, 99% of them have some sort of bias and
prejudice against these people, for reasons they revealed later during the
processing of such experience.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">When processing day came, which is
one day after their departure from the communities, the theologians were ready
with their honest sharing and shocking revelations. All were positive ones but
perhaps the most touching that was common among the sharing is that their
foster parents cried on the day of their departure. Why? Because they have
started to accept the guys, loved them and eventually missed their presence, in
such a short span of time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">See what genuine dialogue can do to
the lives of ordinary Muslims and Christians? Definitely Allah was in their
midst when that life-in-dialogue was happening.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Entering into such <b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/humanresourcedavao/" target="_blank">formof dialogue</a></b> certainly requires proper preparation, respect and an open
mind and heart to be able to accept the ‘other’. With that, its goal of
achieving better relationship is just an arm’s length.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Have you experienced being on a waiting mode? Certainly you
know how it feels to sit on hours at the departure area waiting for your flight,
only to be told that your schedule will be delayed for maybe an hour. And all they
ask of you is to be considerate for such inconvenience! Not exciting at all!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Another incidence of being <b><a href="http://humanresourcedavao.com/" target="_blank">on a<span style="font-weight: normal;"> </span>waiting mode</a></b> is during payday when all that’s left in
your pocket is just a few small bills. Then all of a sudden, the company
treasurer announces that there might be a delay in the fund transfer because of
some technical problems with the ATM machine. How horrible!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">All those waiting, causing you anxiety and great
psychological disturbance (and financial as well)! It’s a fact that waiting for something or
someone can be quite distracting and irksome especially if all the forces are
against you. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">But there’s a kind of waiting that brings joy and hope
experienced by some lucky women. Yes, waiting for a baby to be born! Getting
pregnant no doubt gives the expectant mother joyous feelings to the highest
level. Just the indication of the first
few days or weeks of pregnancy will be enough to send you reeling with gladness
and excitement.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">But nine months seem too long to wait. Unluckily, most women
are not spared from the so-called morning sickness and the ‘blues.’ But, it
pays to be in the best of health if you decide to conceive. At least, you’re
able to manage the discomfort with ease. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Additionally, you should be at the proper age to be able to
overcome the pain and discomforts. These are brought about by the changes happening to
your body to accommodate that tiny life inside of you.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">With technological advancement today, you have several
options to make life better and enjoyable despite having limited activities
during that period of waiting. It doesn’t mean though that you have to stay in
bed all the time and forget about socializing. Of course, it’s reasonable if
you’re in some sort of high risk pregnancy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Why not start to learn some breathing exercises especially if
you’re a first time mom? But remember to do it only with the supervision of an
expert. Or how about learning to stitch some art into baby’s overall? Or spend
some time browsing over those vibrantly-colored baby e-magazines so you’ll know
how infants get their baths and their diapers changed the proper way? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Of course, so much can happen within those nine months and
you can have all the time in the world to prepare for baby’s coming. There’s so
much to thank the Creator for especially for making you a complete person.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Not everyone can write, there’s no doubt about that. Or shall
I say it correctly- anyone can write but not everyone can become a writer. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">A person maybe an eloquent speaker but it does not automatically
mean he’s the one who writes his sparkling speeches. A preacher maybe able to
craft a very good vision for his flock but if someone does not help him lay the blueprint,
he may not get to see it come to reality.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdtjGfMDwmp8dnZKJi0oKYvsD_uZTqK_sXMU9yg2K88bJXnTf4fL-kib0HQMK68940xgVdyUvDndbcFK9sYlaXIIMFPOa8nLjJcMNLE92AZcmBPHVua2IjvB3uAJK_TFURQ3Ey-W4cIfYF/s1600/stock-photo-attractive-woman-writer-in-her-home-with-laptop-in-creative-process-120267064.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="236" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdtjGfMDwmp8dnZKJi0oKYvsD_uZTqK_sXMU9yg2K88bJXnTf4fL-kib0HQMK68940xgVdyUvDndbcFK9sYlaXIIMFPOa8nLjJcMNLE92AZcmBPHVua2IjvB3uAJK_TFURQ3Ey-W4cIfYF/s1600/stock-photo-attractive-woman-writer-in-her-home-with-laptop-in-creative-process-120267064.jpg" width="320" /></a><o:p> </o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Is it hard to write? And I mean putting on paper your
thoughts, like writing an essay, poem, letters, reflections, realizations, and
so on. If you feel you have <b><a href="http://humanresourcedavao.com/" target="_blank">a passion for writing</a></b>, go for it no
matter how old you are. It’s never too late to write!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">They say that writing is both a talent and a skill- talent,
if you were born with it and develop it through time; skill, if you take the
effort of enrolling in some training or workshop and later on discover that you
have the interest after all.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Of course, it pays to have a good teacher and a quality
school curriculum to produce brilliant journalists. And that could be
expensive. But luckily, there are people who really can write magnificent
compositions in good English even if they are not professional journalists or
writers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I am one of the lucky few who can freely express what’s on my
mind. I am not scared of being accused of bad grammar or wrong spelling and not
following writing rules. Truth is, I have so many people in my life to thank
for who have helped hone my writing skill.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">First, there was my mom (may she rest in peace) who patiently
corrected my writing home works. Secondly, my high school language teachers and
college professors who instilled the much needed discipline when it comes to
the subject. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Lastly, I had previous bosses (a priest and a nun) who
believed in my capability and who inspired me to write my own reflections
whenever our team had our retreats and recollections. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Furthermore, I happened to meet and became friends with an
editor-in-chief of the longest running local diocesan weekly paper in my area. He has
taught me all there is I need to know about writing for newspapers. And the
rest is history. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Today, I can no longer keep track of the number of articles
I have written since 2012 for the outsourcing company I’m working for. My
happiness is indescribable whenever I see many of my works published on various
websites. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Unfortunately nowadays, there are the so-called instant
writers proliferating on the Internet. Many people claim to have an authority over
a certain discipline or master of this and that and now are writing online. Of
course, this does not include the legitimate ones whose articles are an
important resource for those who need info. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">In all fairness, there are many individuals who
have <b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/humanresourcedavao/" target="_blank">a passion for writing</a> </b>and it’s good to encounter them once in a while
when you’re doing your search online. You not only get educated reading their
materials but entertained as well. And most importantly, you can relate to that
person.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

what you want. What matters most is that you have communications going on with
kids anytime of the day. Caring parents take effort in contacting their kids
whenever they’re at school, at work, or wherever. Who wouldn’t worry if it’s
past 10pm and kid isn’t home yet? When my kids were small, we enjoyed talking
at mealtimes. Listening to their school escapades and achievements made us
proud parents. I made sure they feel loved through verbal and non- verbal
gestures. Being free to communicate with each other is one good way of </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><a href="http://humanresourcedavao.com/" target="_blank">raising happy kids</a></span></b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">. </span></div>

kind of bonding when you let them prepare their favorite barbecue while you
whip up their favorite dessert. And yes, we do that—eat outdoors as in picnic,
for instance. Then afterwards each one does her/his share of clearing away the
area. At long vacations especially during the Holy Week (for Christians), we
gathered round the living room to watch old favorites- movies with moral
values. Or during Christmas season when they’re off school, we enjoyed watching
funny movies together and laughed our hearts out.</span></div>

a mom, it was my pride to see my kids when they were 5 years old to bathe or do
toileting by themselves. School was a source of excitement as they rose up
early to bath. Also, ask your tot courteously but firmly to tidy up his closet
or his toy box after playing. You won’t need to remind kids every time once
they realize the consequences of not tidying up. Experiencing some degree of
independence at a young age gives your child the chances to grow up
well-adjusted. Today, my kids are a bit older, the eldest has married, the next
a marketing professional, the third a psychology college major and the youngest
a 7<sup>th</sup> grader. As I look into the past, I thank God when people
remark how great kids I have.
