Hello Lent Season

As ashwednesday was fast approaching, a week ago I was contemplating what I can sacrifice for 40 days, for the lent season. I knew McDonalds was part of it, since I started fasting it already two times and I suceeded. Nevertheless I still am really "addicted" to McDonalds. So I need to come up with something new. I was really "scared" to let it come out of my mouth what I will fast, since I don't know if I can handle it, if I can face this "challenge". So yesterday, February 17, I had to decide - so I promised to myself and said this time it will be McDonalds, Coca Cola and RICE.

McDonalds and Coca Cola is not that hard to fast because my mom doesn't buy Coke for us and I don't get to eat in McDonalds when I am at home (Thanks for NOT having a delivery service) But rice - the 24/7 food for the filipinos, for me has been THE sacrifice I have ever made. It's hard, I know the beginning will be hard since my parents are not fasting rice, so I need to eat everything without the company of rice. It's my second day and I feel like it's been a week. But I have to keep up with this. It shouldn't be a penalty for me, it's something to appreciate food even more. I chose not to eat rice but what about the people who have no other choice and eat nothing. Do I put myself into their shoes? It's close - but I still need to sacrife more than only rice. I still can eat something else instead, other people don't. I still can go to KFC and eat hot wings, or to chinese restaurant and have noodles. Nevertheless it's always hard when you are used to eat something eversince and now it stopped - but I chose this way. I'll do everything not to fail on this one!

Have a blessed Lent season people!

PS. YES, I love food! That's why I sacrifice, I fast food this time :) .. and Coké

Hello world I am back

Hello Blogspot World, I am back. I don't know exactly if anyone follows my blog. But I missed writing in here. So I thought why not come back and let your mind talk. Here I am, sitting in my room listening to Justin Bieber and typing. As I've checked my last post was January 2012. That's a loooooong time. In this one year and almost a half SO MANY things happened. Yet everytime when friends ask me what I have been up to, I tell them "nothing special". Maybe because it is not that interesting to update them. Wait let me think: Last year I started with Basketball, then joined the Vienna Avengers, a group of ladies who didn't know each other AT ALL but managed to win the Filipino Basketball in Wien Championship. A S E V E N - zero. I am not bragging, but I also received individual trophies. Three officials and one inofficial. MVP 2013! :-) Dreams do come true. I never - in my wildest imaginations - thought of becoming the MOST VALUABLE PLAYER. Actually Bask...

Your Actions define you.

Senti hits Have you ever thought about doing anything you want, because it's your life and you don't care what other people will think about you? I certainly did and still do. My parents raised me with an important note that people will judge you with your actions and it will reflect on how my parents raised me. Me, being the good (which I am not, but people think I am) girl and trying to avoid problems, understood the advice wrong - when I was younger.  Human beings are not perfect. Noone is and will be. Friends think I am so perfect, nice and all. But I also have my bad side, once in a while. Which is not bad at one point. It depends on how you act and react. You can get mad. You can drop everything and quit. But you can also stay calm and let the storm pass. I remember my boss telling me that I should inhale and exhale and that I am doing a good job in keeping calm.  In my point of view everyone can live an almost perfect life, even if they have annoying, contr...
