My amazing experienced at El Nido Palawan and Puerto Princesa City

It is more fun in the Philippines if you choose to go for a vacation at El Nido and Puerto Princesa City. You see many beautiful spots, since it starts from Puerto Princesa. 

And when you ride a van, within 20minutes you can see the view of live rocks and it is called limestone. I did not expect that form of rocks still exist in Philippines I thought it is only in other countries.

That was my first time in my entire 26 years of my life, to go that far in that Island of Palawan. And that experienced encourage me to go more far and explore the beauty of nature in my own country Philippines. 

Puerto Princesa is so Clean City. It is called simply the best. I am so happy and proud to say that there is still hope of cleanliness in Philippines. And it starts with you.

I was born in remote province of Cebu City, and almost every day I see garbage any where and when I ride a jeepney to go to school, I always smell stinky when I pass the bridge where water flows so dirty. In my mind, I thought the entire Island of the Philippines is polluted.

And that changed my negative point of view when I went to El Nido Palawan. And the reason why I don’t usually agree to spend money for vacation it is because I thought it was a waste of time, stressful and a waste of money. Nevertheless, it is so not true because my mind transform into a positive one.

I affirmed myself before I sleep that I have great vacation here at El Nido. I am so lucky to come here because I see new views and I met new people. 

All of my affirmations granted because I made friends where we stayed and we met new people during our Island tours. And it is so blessed even I talk to strangers but it was fun.

During Island tours I went to 10 Islands these took for two days tours. The first one called Tour A and the next day was tour C.

I enjoyed a lot and the money I paid for the Island tour deserved. In tour A I paid 700 pesos including food while tour C 900pesos including food it was more expensive because the Islands were far away to go.

And I am very thankful to God, for giving my husband as an instrument to make me happy by sharing his blessings and planning well to come at El Nido and Puerto Princesa Palawan very successful. We are all having happy vacation experienced.

What to Become in Life

 How to get out of unproductive life?

Let’s face it, you want to grow and be successful. Yet, a lot of us feel that after so many years have gone by, you will have a feeling of being stagnant in your life.  
So what is wrong?


Four Reasons why you feel being stagnant in your life;

1.) You do not set yearly goals in your life.

Importance: Setting yearly goals helps to achieve something after a year. These are very important for success, moving ahead and help you to become focused in your daily activities.

Now that year 2010 is about to end, why not tried to set goals to achieve in 2011. These goals must be very interesting and cover the following important aspects:

a.) Financial goal – how much do you plan to save in 2011? Any cost cutting initiatives? Anything you would like to invest?

b.) Career goals – if you are employed maybe you work hard to get an “excellent” work rating and possibly a promotion. Or if you are a student, be an honor student or if you are writer/blogger why not accomplished writing 300+ quality articles?

c.) Family and personal goals- if you are married, maybe both of you can go to somewhere else you like for a vacation. Or if you are still single, you may set a goal of knowing someone you can trust as a close friend.

You can read these tips in formulating realistic goals and objectives

2) You do not appreciate simple things in life

Other reasons why you feel being stagnant is that you will not appreciate simple things. You love to get more than life. The only problem is that no matter how hard you will try, there are chances you cannot get entirely what you need.

The key is to work hard, get results and be satisfied. As long as you give your best to anything you do, if something goes back as a reward, appreciate it, love it and thanks God for it. No matter how small.

3.) You compare yourself to others

The problem with comparing yourself to others is that you fail to appreciate your mission in this life. If you believe in God, He created you for a reason. This means that you do not need to compare yourself to them because you have your own mission in this world. Accept for what you really are, the key is to work hard, work smart, give your best and try to be the as best as you can be.

Remember that “success” is relative. What you think are successful may not be accepted as really “successful” to others. There is no definite standard so you do not need to compare yourself for success or whatsoever. Define your own success and get it!

4.) You are NOT working smart and hard

It is why it’s so important to set goals. Goals help you to work hard, focused and get results in life. If you are setting goals and not getting results, then you are not working hard.

Sometimes in life, you need to push harder in order to get results. Think and be like a rat. It is because a rat moves fast and when he finds a place that has no food, he will not get stuck at that place, instead the rat moves to another place until it finds food. 

This means that problems in life are normal, the key is to work hard to get past that barrier and move on to the next step. Do not let life problems control you, you control and finds way to solve that problem by working smart and hard.

Tips in formulating realistic Goals and Objectives

Correctly setting realistic goals and objectives are your FIRST step to success. If this is not correctly done, it seriously affects how you are defining or measuring the level of success you might attained; in the implementation phase of the goal or objective.

One of the best guides in formulating a goal is to implement the SMART technique. It is an acronym that stands for:

S – Specific
M – Measurable
A – Attainable
R – Realistic
T – Time Bounded

So lets examine the real world goals and objectives set by common persons and examine possible flaws in the formulation of these:

1.) My goal is to become a millionaire before age of 30.

Potential Flaw: Although the goal is specific and measurable; one problem could be that it is not either: attainable or realistic. You should be very careful of setting goals like this, so the best way to know if a goal is attainable to make some rough calculations based on real data available (not estimates).

Say for example, you are on the age of 23 at the time you formulated the goal. Then you have yearly salary of $300,000. You actually spend 80% of those, so what is left is 20%. So the savings will be:

Savings each year = 20% x $300,000 = $60,000
Total savings at the age of 30 (7 years from age of 23) = $60,000 x 7 = $420,000

So it means that having a goal of achieving a one million at the age of 30 is not realistic because according to facts, you can only save up to $400,000 at the age of 30; however if you set your goal to $400,000 that would now be considered as realistic and attainable.

Revised goal formulation: My goal to reach $400,000 at the age of 30.

2.) My objective is to finish the entire job completely by the end of the day.

Potential Flaw: The objective is not specific. It is because the amount of task that you need to do is not being included in the objective. Thus because it is not specific; it is not measurable.

Since there are no specific details in the objective, you cannot tell whether the objective is both realistic and attainable.

Say for example, you are planning to accomplish 4 sets of important tasks in a day and the 1st task and 2nd tasks needs 2 hours each to complete and the 3rd/4th tasks need 1 hour each. So the total amount of hours you need to work in a day:

2 hours x 2 + 1 hour x 2 = 6 hours

So if you have 8 hours to work in a day, this objective is somewhat attainable and realistic.

Revised objective formulation: My objective is to complete my job consisting of four tasks at the end of the day.

How to recover from failure all the way to real success?

I once felt that everything is over and there is no way to recover back and attain success. But something wakes me up to become a stronger person; not the person I used to be before. This “strength” in me helps to attain success for the rest of this life. Here is how I do it:

1.) Reflect what you have done wrong – an honest evaluation about the mistakes you have made is very important. It is because a problem well defined is a problem half solved.

You need to verify that the problem is the exactly causing your failures, below are some ways you can verify it:

a.) Feedbacks from your parents, brother/sisters as well as other relatives.
b.) Feedbacks from your friends, teachers and mentors.

If only one person is always complaining the mistake you have done; this is not verifiable cause. But if two or more persons are suggesting to change your attitude, then you have is a problem. Take note of their comments very carefully.

2.) Plan what you are going to do with your mistakes – for example if you failed your studies miserably then it is a sign that something is causing it such as:

a. No or poor study habits.
b. Lack of determination.
c. Lack of discipline in implementing strict study habits.

If you have verified the causes above as the one causing you to fail as a student, then, just reverse the problem and it will become a solution:

a.) Implement daily study habits.
b.) Be determined to succeed in your studies. It is best you set a goal which you can achieve, in order to create some challenges in your life. These challenges can keep you busy and lets you have a fulfilling life.
c. Be rigid in disciplining yourself to follow through your study habits. This is the hardest part as self-discipline is almost everybody weakness.

3.) Challenge yourself to be the WINNER – if you see yourself positively as a “WINNER” then you will. Aspect #1 and #2 above will not work if you do not have positive attitude when it comes to winning. The truth is that if you:

a.) Know what is your mistake.
b.) Know what to with your mistake
c.) Believe that you can win in your way to success.

Then you have 80% chances of becoming successful. The rest of the 20% will be:

4.) To closely monitor your performance and apply real time tweaks for improvement.

This is another important aspect, the “monitoring” aspect helps you aware if you are making any progress in your life at solving your problems. As simple as a “task to do” list can be a very powerful monitoring tool.

Final tip: The above comprises 100% of the tips to recover from failures and turn it to a success. If you need to achieve 200% of your success level, then the best way you can do this is to further “pray” and “believe in God”.

Rare Tips for Happiness: Congratulate yourself

Happiness is everybody's goal. There is no sense for success in career, business, love and everything without a feeling of happiness.

Let me share you some rare secret to be happy: “Congratulating Yourself”.

Human is always in need to be recognized for his or her achievements and what is good is that you won't even need someone you can celebrate your success with. You can do it yourself.

How?

First, you need to create challenge in your life. For example, say you are an internet blogger and you are aiming for at least $2 a day passive income from your blogs.

Or if you are student, you can create challenge by having all your exams with ratings above 90% as well as no late submissions on assignments and projects.

If you are an employee, you can make sure that all deadlines and projects are meet on time. Also you can even make it as a challenge that you will never received a single customer complaint for the entire month.

As long you have job to do, you can create challenge in your life.

Second, manage your way to success on a daily basis, checked your schedules and daily tasks to make sure you attended and remembered it well. You need to make sure that you are a person of action , not just good in planning and doing nothing.

Third, once you reach the end of the month, assess your challenge if you have achieved it. If yes, then spend one whole day celebrating by the following suggestions:

1.) Do things that you really love. For example, if you are movie geek and Toy Story 3 just came out, watch the movie alone. Or if you have someone you can bring with, it is fine, but make sure that this celebration is for you not for someone else. If you are afraid that someone might destroy your day, do not bring them or else it will just waste your celebration.

2.) Do not ever open your computer for work on that day. This is supposed to be a day of celebration as you are congratulating yourself for the job well done.

3.) Eat well. Go to your most favorite restaurant and spend your money on good foods. This will remove your stresses for the entire month and helps you recharged.

4.) Buy something very important to your job. Now you are on shopping, it is your time you can think of something that will be very useful to you. For example, if you are a musician, maybe you can buy new sets of guitar strings for your old guitar.

5.) Go home early for the day, buy some beers for you and sleep a lot.

Positive Mindset Quotes that can change your life

Here are my own positive quotes that I would like to share with you. Maybe this might change how you look at your own life:

1.) There is no such thing as “difficult” when you THINK and re-THINK and then write all possible actions.

Example: If you are working on a very difficult project that is limited with your own sets of skills. You then say it was difficult. But have you really think, how you can accomplish it by writing all possible solutions?

If you hired me to construct a building and I am not an civil engineer, then I will just say NO and it solves the problem. Sometimes NO is a possible solution. Watch the movie “Yes Man” and you will learn why.

2.) Happy face always starts with a happy mind.

How many times someone needs to pretend they are happy when their mind is NOT. How many times someone needs to buy lots of luxurious to stay happy? I think if you can be able to control your mind and control what you will need to “picture” out in there; then you can be happy by just thinking you will be happy.

3.) Intelligence may distinguish a person from each other BUT all of them can work HARD

You might feel de-motivated if you feel you are not intelligent enough to do the tasks and you will never succeed. WRONG - in reality; everyone can work HARD. And by working hard everything can be accomplished with patience.

An average minded person that will dedicate his life to a certain work SHOULD appear successful in the long run than an intelligent person with no dedication in life.

4.) A failure is the best opportunity for improvement

Be happy with failures and upsets in life, you are just very LUCKY to know how you will be able to do something else better next time soon without even receiving bias feedbacks from friends, co-employees or even your boss!

5.) To accomplish a lot of work is to think that time is LIMITED

How many persons might say, “Yeah I will just postpone this work tomorrow”? Then after the end of the month, just accomplished a few sets of tasks.

What if someone thinks time is limited? Then you can do many. It is why a common boss technique in employment is to “pressure” their employees to work fast and hard because they KNOW that they can accomplish a lot of tasks in a limited amount of time.

If you are a working in your own, then you can do this without getting harmed (as opposed to boss yelling at you in the office asking for urgent work outputs).

Productivity and Motivation Improvement Techniques: Working at Home

It is becoming more popular to work at home than to work at the office. This trend is common for those that are making a living out of the internet, example for the following careers below:

a.) independent musician promoting websites
b.) e-commerce website owner
c.) writers/authors
d.) bloggers
e.) web developers
f.) internet marketers

This list will grow in the future, but currently these are the most common professions that make a living out of the online business world. But the main issues of working at home are pertaining to low productivity and lack of motivation.

If you are working at home, you will be easily distracted by any means (example, tempting to check for Facebook updates, talk with other persons at home, playing games or even watch YouTube) because there is NO boss looking at you. You might take this advantage and a privilege but too much of this habit can seriously affect your productivity.

So how you might be able to deal with this issue other than implementing “strict discipline” in behalf of yourself?

The following are my most effective techniques and habits that can substantially improve home office productivity and working motivation in the long run:

1.) Spend at least one day in each month to draft the entire monthly working schedule.

If you are a blogger, you might list down all your blogs and write how many posts you need to write each day. Then put it in MS Excel to list it down from Day 1 to Day 30 (at the end of the month). The same thing you will do, if you are a web developer, internet marketer, etc.

Plan this in advance (for example if you are drafting the June 2010 schedule, do that in the last days of May 2010). Be realistic with your schedules and goals. Remember the S.M.A.R.T goal setting techniques when it comes to effective planning.

Note: In the planning of schedules, do not include Facebook profile updates and Youtube schedules.

Why should you do this? It is because “failing to plan is planning to fail”.

2.) Monitor those goals in a daily basis.

Before you will start to work in each of the day, make sure to review what work has been done on those previous days and marked them “completed”! This will motivate you to work harder in case something has been lagged behind.

You can add new set of tasks provided these are the ones that will make you money and relevant to your work.

Why should you do this? It is because “failing to monitor your work is planning to fail your plan”

3.) Work straight and stop for breaks around 15 minutes depending on your endurance.

So if I have this long list of tasks for the day, what I will do is eat first, drink coffee and then start WORKING! Do not look at those lists of tasks, just start working. Work straight! You will notice how many sets of tasks you will accomplish in just a period of 5 to 8 hours working straight.

I usually work at the earliest hours of the day (early morning). This will provide me longer hours to work on difficult while enjoying the rest day.

Why you need to this? A journey of million miles must begin with a single step.

4.) If your work has been completed, “CONGRATULATE” yourself by taking long breaks for the rest of the day. You can now do anything you want (watch Youtube, update Facebook), go out and take your bike, etc.

The lesson is: DO ANYTHING IMPORTANT FIRST, and enjoy the rest.

Study methods for college students: Using assignment notebooks

Studying in college is a very difficult tasks. It is because you need to develop a lot of patience, sacrifices, careful planning (like what A-team does) and hard work in order to get things done. Not only getting things done, but getting it right also.

There are only two objectives in studying college and that is getting good grades and completing your courses.

This short guide will elaborate the methods on the use of assignment notebooks in order to develop a good study habit especially useful for college students.

I suggest you to have one notebook with around 100 or more leaves (the more leaves the better), divide it into parts. The 1st section is the “task input” list and the 2nd half for “daily organized tasks”.

To generate the “task input” , list down all tasks:

a. Instructed by your college professor (example the assignments, projects, appointments or pages/books to be studied).

b. Have in mind studying. For example, you need to study that specific subject a lot because you find it difficult. Write that subject here and as the topic details.

c. Other extra-curricular activities (such as practising schedules pertaining to your activity in university glee club for example)

d. Your daily class schedule, so you will never forget attending important classes (common in college because of irregular scheduling).

This also includes the other list such as time to meet your girl friend or boyfriend, or do some shopping.

This task input should be updated in hourly or daily basis. Marked “complete” for those tasks that are not any more relevant or important to you. For this to be very effective, you need to list down ALL possible tasks that you might think you need to do, again including all possible inputs from your teacher (such as clue where he/she might get the exam).

I have found this page to provide good tips in studying college.

Now you have a complete list of “task input”, it is now the time to organize it. You need to answer to following questions:

1.) What should I do for today? Again you will need to see it from your task input. List down relevant tasks that are needed to be done today, including any assignments, quizes, long exams, important studies, etc.
2.) What time should I need to get this done? Time management, get those difficult things done first before you get tired for the day.

So you will need to put this input in your “daily organized tasks”. An example output will be:

June 14, 2010

1.) Attend the following classes:
a. 8:30 to 10am- algebra
b. 10:00am to 11am – effective communication
c. 1-3pm – trigonometry
d. meet with husband- 3pm-4pm
e. read 3rd chapter on algebra – 4pm to 7pm
f. dine out- 7pm – 8pm
g. doing algebra exercises – 8:30pm to 10pm
h. prepare for effective comm exam -10pm to 12am

How do you Define True Success in Life

To be contented with what you have is the end measurement of success in life. Even if you are poor you must be happy, life must go on and dream.

You must count on your blessings and never count all the insecurities. To feel insecure is a weakness and if you use it, life will become miserable.

To prevent this bad feeling, you must not compare yourself to others, not get jealous and don’t fight. Some others say that, to have a lot of money and power is what you will become successful; well it is 50% true and 50% lie it means that there must a balance.

If you want to have the 100% true success with your money, you must share your blessings to those who are in need.

If you’re just hiding your wealth in the bank, this is not at all good instead giving it to your family and buys some important things for your own that makes you happy. And remember, Contentment, Sharing and Happiness is how you define true success in life.




However keep in mind that success is relative. Success for a specific person does not translate to success to another.

It is why to be contented with what you have is essential if you want attaining success to be as easy as breathing.

Some persons are defining success as different from happiness. While this is true, the ultimate goal is to associate your happiness with success.

Success is nothing if you are not happy, or happiness is nothing without success. These two should go together. How to do this is very simple:

Plan your life

Make you want to accomplish things that will make you happy. Do not include in your goals those things that won't make you happy.

Start working for these plans

You noticed that once you have accomplished something in your goal, you have an intense feeling of success and happiness.

Once all your objectives are accomplished, repeat the planning phase

And then you have unlimited supply of happiness and success, accomplishing these things will give you a strong sense of purpose in your life.

Lastly sharing is the most important element in success and happiness. If you have seen the movie "Into the Wild" which is true story of a loner man that lives in the deep jungle away from all distractions and people.

Before he died due to accidental food poisoning from eating a wild vegetable, he wrote something in his notes: "Happiness is not real unless it is shared.." It is why you need to share your blessings, then you have real success and happiness.

Be a Full Time House Wife is a Great Honor

I am a wife but not yet a mother and planning to have children someday; for now we focus on stabilizing our financial asset to give our children a bright future and for it’s also the good of the nation.


In today’s modern generation; the responsibility of a wife is not really as important as before. Husband and wife can easily work either in private or in public company because they’re both capable to work. We have all freedom.

But if when you are married, husband and wife have different roles in the family.  

Wife as a “house wife”, takes care of husband and children while the husband is the bread winner, head of the family and role model for their children.

It’s good for a wife to help husband’s livelihood but not making a full time job...

Make your Husband proud of you:

1. Take proper good cares for your husband and children.

2. Always give your 100% full support to your husband.

3. Appreciate him of all his doings and projects either small or big.

4. Show all the respect to your husband rights how he leads as a head of the family.

5. Always tell him I love you, hug and give your sweetest smile.

9. Always give thanks for all the blessing you have received.

10. Always reminds that God is the center of the family.

I hope I can touch one’s heart of every woman and become a proud wife in the world. I gathered all of these from my experiences to my families, relatives, friends and reading a book. See to be a housewife is a great honor. And it’s time for a challenge…

God Bless Every one!

How to Find True Happiness in Many Ways

There is no such thing poor or rich in this world if we care and think of other’s need. God commands us to love one another and share blessings. 

It is he who makes and provides every thing for our daily needs and there are no excuses for us to reason out, that each one of us has no responsibility to help others.

It is quite difficult to give other’s food even to feed with your dogs; it is conflict to your decisions to give. Yet, the more you give the more happiness will come into your life. 

It is the bad side of your mind and feelings to affirm not to give, those negative wants to fight the positive attitude. And so, to achieve true happiness you must do the right thing.

Here are do’s and don’ts tips and ways on how to find true happiness;

Donts;

Self-Centered

Always think of your own needs. If you experience financial problems you blame others for your own advantages. 

Example; You work in a company crisis comes then the company need to implement costs cutting and need to terminate some of the employees. And the cause of the costs cutting is because of your scam. You stole money from the company. Do you think it is equal?

Pessimistic mind
Always expect worst and hopeless in every thing he/she do. Example; you are looking for a job hunting. Unfortunately many times you tried but you still didn’t find a job, in your situation you feel disappointed and failure and in that negative affirmation in your mind can cause stress and therefore you surrender. Do you think this choice of yours is the best answer?

Jealousy| Envy

Comparing the way of living to your neighbors, friends and family is the worst decision ever made. Discontented can cause all the troubles. It is because no matter what happen you do every thing to level up yourself from others. 

Example; One of your sister bought a motorcycle, and because of envy you want to buy also even though you can not afford. And so, you do your best as you can to have like what your sister has. You are going to lend money, but the problem is how can you pay the money back? Your income is still not enough for your children’s basic needs. Is it fair to run away your debt?

Bully

Doing something that can hurt a person’s feelings especially when can him/her cry. You are laughing when you bully, but the truth is your heart is full of anger and hatred. If somebody tells you that you are so fat and black? Are you hurt?

Worry

Losing of trust in one’s self and to others is a sign of worry.

Do’s 

Share

Allow your neighbors and the rest of your family members to borrow and use your things.

Give

Offer your extra blessings to someone’s in need especially the basic needs the food, clothing and shelter.

Thoughtful

Express concerns of other’s need. Understand the needs of others and help to solve their problems.

Give smile
Always do things that can make people happy just to give your smile.

Give love and respect to your parents

Spend your time with them. Cook for them and eat your meals with your parents.

Love your husband and wife

Marriage is divine and it needs to give value. For better or worse till death do they part and though there are times couple fights each others decisions and rights but that doesn’t mean they have no love at all.

Fear God

He is the only over all master. Every event that will happen in our lives is God’s purpose. And so, you must spend time to report what is going to do and ask for forgiveness for the job you missed.
