God's Peace
As i was reading an online devotional today (My Utmost for His Highest), I was reminded of God's peace. When i was in college, I was a part of the christian group Victory Christian Fellowship. There was a time when I was invited to a prophetic presbytery. When it was my turn to be prophesied to, the man told me:
"oh i can feel the joy of the Lord in you. there is so much peace in you. you have troubles but because of the joy of the lord, you are able to overlook these problems."
Today I was reminded of this joy of the lord. Ever since i opened the store, my wake up time is 4am and i will be working until 11pm. At first i was complaining and literally having severe headaches and body pain. but after a month, somehow i got used to it. im still having hard time getting up early and going to the wet market. at 8pm, i am very exhausted.
but despite of all these, i am happy. i have peace. and i believe, this is the joy of the lord residing in me.
god's word never gave us an assurance of a trial free life. but the best part is, He gave us the assurance of never abandoning us. Last sunday as i went to mass, the choir sung the song YOU ARE NEAR.
"Yahweh I know you are near, standing always at my side, you guard me from the foe, and you lead me, in ways everlasting..."
i cried. i just felt that god was there and telling me that i am at the center of his will. and the best part is, he is telling me that he will always be near me. no matter what.
i just hope and pray that you will also find the peace and the joy of the lord in you. we may all be preoccupied with so much responsibilities, but at the center of our system, peace reigns.
God bless you.

business conception: historical beginning
when i was a kid, i was raised not in a home, instead, in a canteen.
the kitchen was my playground. the market was my theme park. and of course, in the dining room, im the small cute host.
According to my mom, i will memorize songs recorded on cassette tapes and will sing them infront of our customers. I will get my pen and paper and show off my ability to write my name. and i am their little mathematician. my mom would ask me to calculate the total bill for a particular customer and will do the math mentally.
this was my life during childhood.
i will go to school (alone, no alalay from grade 1) asking policemen to help me cross the streets. at lunch time, i will go home for lunch and do my homework. when i was already a 3rd grader, after all the assignments, i will do the marketing for the canteem. My mom will do the market list, hand me the money and off i go!
my first stop is the supermarket. I will buy one or two large boxes of groceries and leave them at the baggage counter. my next stop is the wet market. buy the fish, give the orders for the meat and poultry, then buy the vegetables. when im done buying all those things in my market list, i will call a "kargador" and instruct him to get all my things. then i will go home and wait for my stuff. then i will do the cutting of the vegetables to prepare them for tomorrow's cooking. :)
end of my day.
a lot of kids during those age are playing on the streets with other children after class. in my case, i still have to do marketing, make and sell some ice candy and even buy school supplies and candies to sell them to my classmates. I never thought of being robbed of my childhood play time. for me, selling and marketing is play time. i enjoyed doing it and loved every moment of it.
as a reward, i get a higher school allowance. when my classmates have 10 pesos for their baon, i have 55 pesos, enough for two piece chicken joy from jollibee! :)
yummy life! :)
(ooops. a customer arrived. bye blog!)

happiness
last night as i was lying in my bed, and thinking about the events of the day, all i can say is, thank you lord for all the blessings...
i texted some friends and sent them this message:
share ko lang, i may not be earning 6-digits now, but all i can say is that im truly happy. feeling ko natupad lahat ng pangarap ko. gudnyt!"
indeed i am happy. things may not be perfect for now, but amidst all the trials, difficulties and physical challenges, there is joy and peace in my heart.
indeed, i believe, this is god's will.

Reviving my blog life
It's been a while since the last time i wrote something to this site.
Recent events made me decide to revive this blog corner.
My sole purpose if to document the events that transpired in my everyday life.
Ever since I started the business, documentation is something I badly need to do.
It takes time to document things, but I believe it will be a bad thing not to document events.
In the future, I want to reach those simple juan dela cruz who wanted to go to business but they are simply afraid of going into one. I hope this blog will evolve to be a business blog that inspires pinoys to go to business and be their own boss.

day 2 - SEO
today i learned a lot about Search Engine Optimization (SEO).
i must admit this area caught my attention. its pretty interesting. i believe this is one issue that web developers need to address. because what will be the use of their webs if they are not visible to the web??
its interesting and i will dig deep regarding this one.

day 1 - SCRUM
today i learned a software development process called SCRUM. very geeky eh?
i was dragged into a meeting about scrum process. we talked bout the process owner, scrum master and the team members.
the process owner is the one that dictates what he wanted the team to accomplish within a certain limit of time usually called sprint. a sprint will last from 2 to 4 weeks. also, it is the process owner's responsibility to record the things to be accomplish in a sort of "project backlog."
from there, the scrum master steps in and manages the team. its the scrum master's task to make sure that the events on the backlog are attended (what will be included in the latest sprint and what event will be waiting in queue) also, its the scrum master's task to make sure that there will be no interruptions to the team during the run of the sprint.
and then there is the team member. the team members are free to get the task that they are most comfortable working with. if the need arises, the scrum master can assign task to the members. once the sprint starts, no one can add a task to the current sprint. if there are task needed to accomplished, then they are added to the backlog and later prioritized for the next sprint.
what i like the most in the scrum are the daily short 10-minutes meeting. in these meetings between the scrum master and the team members, there are only 3 questions needed to be answered by all members including the scrum master. these are:
1) What did you do yesterday?
2) What are you doing now?
3) What hinders you from doing your task?
as i was contemplating on these three questions, i realized that these are great questions we can ask ourselves everyday just to assess if we are really performing or not. work related or not, i think these three questions are very important and will be very helpful in attaining our goals in life. so starting today, why don't we ask ourselves everyday with these three questions?
365 project = 365 learnings
the 365 project is a photo essay of your everyday life. you can read about the project and its benefits from this site.
and i want to do a similar project. but i want to do it with a twist. I want to challenge myself of learning new things everyday. and these things will be posted as part of my 365 project. i think this will be very interesting. :)
so let me call this 365 learnings. :)
so excited! :)

new song in my heart
I was listening to some songs lend to me by my friend. And i came across this Madonna song entitled "The power of goodbye" and i was amazed how she profoundly described the feeling of saying goodbye.
love this song. :)
Your heart is not open, so I must go
The spell has been broken...I loved you so
Freedom comes when you learn to let go
Creation comes when you learn to say no
You were my lesson I had to learn
I was your fortress you had to burn
Pain is a warning that something's wrong
I pray to God that it won't be long
Do ya wanna go higher?
Chorus:
There's nothing left to try
There's no place left to hide
There's no greater power than the power of good-bye
Your heart is not open, so I must go
The spell has been broken...I loved you so
You were my lesson I had to learn
I was your fortress
Chorus:
There's nothing left to lose
There's no more heart to bruise
There's no greater power than the power of good-bye
Bridge:
Learn to say good-bye
I yearn to say good-bye
Chorus:
There's nothing left to try
There's no more places to hide
There's no greater power than the power of good-bye
There's nothing left to lose
There's no more heart to bruise
There's no greater power than the power of good-bye
love this song. :)
