How do we travel light?

Traveling light can be very difficult. How do we travel light?

When it comes to buying a promo airplane tickets the only allowance for "carry on" is 7-kgs for PAL and Cebu Pacific and with specification sizes of bags to use. For PAL if your bag goes beyond 7-kgs. (as of the moment) they allow up to 15kgs. baggage weight without extra charge, the "carry on" bag will be checked in as baggage.

Now, for 7-kgs. How do we travel light?

For example we can avoid bringing shampoo in plastic containers and bring sachets.

Pack a light weight clothings. Usually thick cotton blouses are heavy than silk or satin which doesn't absorb too much water.

And, this can be compare how we travel light in our everyday living. If we carry too much "thick cotton clothing" meaning we can easily absorb all the negative comments and energies, you'll end up being burden with so much unnecessary weight and gets you stressed and in return suffer from health problems. Being a cotton is not good because all the unimportant emotions like hatred, anger, jealousy, and talking negatively about your acquaintances or gossiping - can not be easily "dried", it stays there on and on until the sun shine through and your eyes will be opened to the truth in what you're doing are all wrong. Now what if there's no sun shining? The cotton will end up with the fungus rotten with foul smell.

Bad memories are hard to forget it's our natural defense mechanism to teach us not to do it again. But if we let Jesus - heal our awful memories - all the hatred and rotten fungus will be gone - though the memories are still there the pain are all gone.

I pray to all those whom I didn't know that I have hurt, let the sun shine through their hearts to dried up all the negative emotions I have caused and though the scars may still be there, let all the pain be completely gone.

Think about it, do you still want to travel like a cotton or foam?

DropBox the Magic Backup

A recent client of mine required me to use DropBox, at first I was excited to know what dropbox software is...and I found it is like comparing to a magic wallet or purse where you can find everything you needed in one place.

So for example in my case I have a laptop, desktop computer and Office computer, if I transfer files I need Flash Drive USB or emailing my own email attaching documents and important files.

Now, for the DropBox - the only thing you need is to download the DropBox software and make a dropbox folder in every computer you have then save the files in there, automatically it will reflect at the 2gig disk-space allocated online (dropbox online) and if you login to your other computer it will automatically synchronize or reflect all the files you have modified and saved in DropBox folder to all your PC's.

In shrt, if you have more than one computer, keeping tract of all your files can be problem, just by saving files in your DropBox folder it will show the same files on your laptop/desktop computers and even in your phone. And not only that, anything you put in the DropBox it will also be available in the online storage website automatically. So, whatever happens in your laptop/desktop computer you will still have a backup online at the DropBox website.

And to make it more exciting, you also have an online photo album automatically, whatever photos you save on that album (photo folder) you can let that folder create a link and can be given to your friends whomever you want it to see and download your photos.

DropBox is 100% Free for 2gig of space. What are you waiting for?
Just register and

Literary and Musical Contest of Eversun Software Phils. Corp. at Jack Ridge

I'm happy to witness the our outing in Eversun Software Phils. Corp. at Jack Ridge, there were 5 teams namely White, Yellow, Green, Red and Blue. Well since I was in charge of the attendance I have to know who really attended to those who said "YES". And so, the complete attendance team were the Green Team. Congratulations! Green one of my favorite color if you notice in most of my blogs green and yellow are never missing. Anyway they have their uniform shirt and props with the big letters "GREEN TEAM" (who can even think they are not prepared?)

For the yellow team I must say the duet between James and Gladys was perfect voice blending and the word "YELLOW" was very well emphasize (^_^) I told you I had fun being an audience.

And, I was amaze by the White team solo it was Ma'am Ju who sang the impromptu song "Torn from Natalie Imbruglia". (wala talaga practice)

And, also the Red team solo Ma. Theresa (wiwit) sang a capella all by herself (now that's the spirit yeah!)

Everything went well but I wasn't able to finish the program as I thought it was only 1:30pm up to 6:00pm and I was scheduled to go home early. We didn't know it was moved to 2:30pm to 8:00pm.

Any here are the pictures for the ESPC Literary and Musical Contest and for the videos of ESPC Literary and Musical Contest

I visited this site PoliticalArena.com and was amaze from the that fact all the presidential and political candidates are here being exposed and their representatives answers queries in political forum. Which is very enlightening for people like me who lives in Mindanao and has no idea "who to vote" in the incoming 2010 presidential elections.

Now, for the site screenshot:




As you notice in the site - almost have it all - different tabs from candidates profiles, political issues, forum, news, videos, photos, calendar, announcement and election 101.

I have posted in their forum under Labor and employment asking a question regarding Less Tax for Differently abled persons so far nobody responded.

I do hope at least one of the candidates will answer my query.

By the way, do check out political arena news tab which has the most updated political news. And, there are some funny videos under the video tab (^_^) well, political arena.com allows you to submit your videos and uploads photos.

So what are you waiting for?

Digital Filipino Club 2009 Event in Davao City

Janet Toral has done it again! ...another successful Digital Filipino bloggers club conference and enlightening night for us bloggers to know the updates in the most influential bloggers... Blogie had a speech about his DavaoDeli.com site, well I thought that he was fond of cooking but he explained that he doesn't know how to cook but loves to eat.. Geeesh! my presumption was wrong. See? never assume anything to a person just by reading their blogs...




Here is the picture of me and Janet Toral (^_^)



And of course a little bit of video...

And now, for the list of the influential bloggers by Janet Toral.

There were insights shared by Janet Toral about the important points in blogging and how we catch attention using blogs... like the famous blog of Brian Gorrell (did I spelled the name right? forgive me if not) controversial... when he used influential person's true name to expose ...hmmm some issues? geeesh I really can't say much about it as I'm not 100% sure what was the issue all about (^_^) I can remember commenting on that blog too, and I'm thankful that my blogmates warn me not to get myself involve.

By the way, I won a PAGCOR T-shirt and other give aways by playing on the trial slot machine. Here are the pictures:







And of course my I met my good friend schoolmate Dara Abanilla ü she work at PAGCOR at least we get to meet on event such as this but we didn't get a chance to talk much.

Finally I met one of my org. mate, schoolmate and good friend Jaydee. After four years... we saw each other again Geeesh! I was really preoccupied by him... we had so much to talk about. And, was waiting for him to show up as we already agree to meet on Digital Filipino conference, I kept on looking at people around where on Earth he is, but I just couldn't see him. After awhile Elvie and I went to the ladies room and there we saw each other. We ended up (keep on) taking. (^_^)

Watch out for more updates about Digital Filipino and look forward for the incoming events!

There will always be another mountain

One song in my mind now... A Christian song, that touches my heart, after hearing it - I got tears in my eyes...

I'm thankful for all these text messages I received from my friends they stood beside me through prayers and let me read this verses in the Bible:

Zech 13:9 I will bring one third through the fire, will refine them as silver is refined, And test them as gold is tested. And I will answer them. I will say, "This is My people" And each one will say "The Lord is my God"

and from

John 16:33 "These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world"

I can only say "God knows what is inside my heart". Even though how much you malign my name character and personality, I know and God knows who I am, and no man can destroy a true believer in God. The world may think I'm a fool but I don't care as I can never control all your presumptions.

The Climb

(written by: Jessi Alexander, Jon Mabe)

I can almost see it,
That dream I'm dreamin'
But theres a voice inside my head sayin'
You'll never reach it

Every step I'm taking
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking

But I gotta keep tryin'
Gotta keep my head held high
Theres always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a up-hill battle
Sometimes i'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about whats waiting on the other side
Its the climb

The struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down
But, No, I'm not breaking
I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm gonna remember Most, yeah
Just gotta keep goin'

And, I, I got to be Strong
Just Keep pushing, on
'Cause theres always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a up-hill battle
Sometimes i'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about whats waiting on the other side
Its The Climb

The Album

"The Climb" is a single released from the "Hannah Montana: The Movie Soundtrack." The movie opened last weekend and garnered a hefty $34 million dollars -- the most for a G-rated live-action movie ever. The soundtrack features a bunch of light, teen-friendly songs. The spotlight is on Hannah Montana, of course, but Rascal Flatts, Taylor Swift and Billy Ray Cyrus all make appearances, as well.



The Song

Miley Cyrus has a winner with “The Climb”. The sound is country-influenced pop, featuring a soft piano intro and Miley's voice, which is incredible for a 16-year-old. Neither the music nor the lyrics are really original, but the song is powerful nonetheless.



“The Climb” is a song about the difficulties of life. It's about how, contrary to what some believe, life is never going to be easy.


Lyric:


There's always gonna be another mountain

I'm always gonna wanna make it move

Always gonna be a uphill battle

Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose



That is the heart song of every Christian as we journey through this life. There is always going to be another mountain. Another friend who doesn't believe in Christ, another person who ridicules you because of your faith, another “good time” missed because you are standing by your convictions.



There will always be a struggle for righteousness, and sometimes you are going to lose. Miley Cyrus is a self-professed Christian, and you can see in this song that she has feeling for what it has meant to take that stand.



If one lyric of this song were different, “The Climb” could even be considered a Christian song, worthy of being sung in church.



Lyric:


Ain't about how fast I get there Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
