Tips on keeping yourself from worrying too much and learning to embrace the goodness of life.

How about loosening up and just enjoy every moment of being alive? How about not giving in to worries but instead embrace the beauty of every challenge and every circumstances? Afterall, nothing stays the same forever right? So quit worrying and just live.

Stop worrying about what people think of you, keep this in mind: your business is not theirs as their business is not yours. So how people see you or think about you is none of your business, but it’s your business not to care about what they have to say. .. duh, you know yourself better than anyone else.

Here are some simple tips you can do, to keep you from worrying too much:

Have some Green Tea

noreply@blogger.com (redhead) — Sun, 04 Dec 2011 11:27:00 +0000

Feeling a bit down? Have some Green Tea. Instead of coffee its good to drink green tea at least twice a week to rejuvenate and feel relaxed. Compared to Coffee? Green Tea is much better as it is rich in flavonoids.

According to Douglas Balentine, Director of Nutrition Sciences in North America, in his presentation during the annual American Dietetic Association's Food and Nurtition Conference and Expo in 2005, while he discuss the benefits of flavonoids to our health, he said that "Several studies have found that drinking tea may be good for the heart due to power of flavonoid antioxidants which is found in tea" he also added that "drinking a cup of tea a day - hot or cold, black or green will nearly double their current intake of flavoinoid."

Moving Forward, It's Everyday Happy

noreply@blogger.com (redhead) — Sat, 24 Sep 2011 08:08:00 +0000

It's Everyday Happy... let's juice up! :)

Welcome to Everyday Happy!

Sometimes, I am really crazy; I do things in an impulse. One moment I am okay with things and the next thing you know I just turned the entire house around. But it doesn’t really happen much often. It only happens when I seem to want to change things.

And so today, that spontaneous moment hit me once again, and I basically changed everything about my old blog and reinvent it into something new. I got tired of “red” the color, the notion, etc. I suddenly wanted to try a whole new environment.

Inspiring Bits and Pieces from Francis Kong

noreply@blogger.com (redhead) — Tue, 05 Jul 2011 22:00:00 +0000

I finally finished reading the last pages of Francis Kong's Three Little Words. Great book to keep you going, here are the Random Inspiring things you might want to go through some are indeed hilarious:

(1) the most important thing in this world is not things, but relationships... people. --Tenessee William's "Something by Tolstoy" (how one's ambition can make us lose touch of who we are and our heart's desire - it’s a sad but one great story to learn from);

(2) It’s not about how strong you start, but how well you finished;

(3)The race for quality has no finish line;

(4)Nice guys may appear to finish last, but they’re usually running a different race;

Book Club: Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

noreply@blogger.com (redhead) — Tue, 05 Jul 2011 02:41:00 +0000

Thinking of a book club? I am. Currently organizing a book club, and Inviting close friends and colleagues for a start, it’s pretty cool way to keep the adrenaline rush I guess, keeping that juice flowing. I was looking for books to create interesting thoughts among ourselves. And since I always admire Jane Austen’s style in writing, I decided to start with her book: Pride and Prejudice. Perhaps, it was transformed into a television drama and eventually a movie, because of its very interesting story in which I look forward to be discussing with my friends.

The Psychic Connection

noreply@blogger.com (redhead) — Thu, 31 Mar 2011 12:50:00 +0000

Why is it that “Psychic Connection” is strong when you feel for someone? Is there really such a thing or it is just an assumption because we thought we know someone too much? Does your thoughts really meet together? If one misses the other, does the other feel it too?

Psychic Connection. (n.) deep understanding; understanding each other without speaking. (source: Englishbaby.com)

Friendship Beyond Years and Distance

noreply@blogger.com (redhead) — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 04:43:00 +0000

Today, I am feeling grateful to people have put up with me through the years. I just woke up today and decided that I want to write my heart out. LOL. Well I can’t believe how friends have actually stayed with me through all these years, despite the distance, and time constraints true friends are always who they are even after some time. People may change but your relationship with them stays, at least for some people who have seen the best and worst of me and yet still there for me. Thank you for being that friend I have always remembered you to be, despite the changes in our paths and environment, you chose to stay the same for me.

Real Diet Tips to Get Fit

noreply@blogger.com (redhead) — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 06:55:00 +0000

Since I am so serious about losing weight, i read about possible writeups that could help me lose weight and I háve discerned an information that I SHOULD NOT SKIP MEALS. yes it's okay to eat but just a litle portion of everything. I guess that's the technique there don't deprive yourself of eating food you love but never eat more than you are required if you really want to lose weight.

And what's more? Eating 5-6 meals a day is encouraged than the regular 3-big-meals! This really surprised me but it's actually true. It was said that eating 6-small-meals actually helps increase your metabolism as it burn 30% of your calorie intake everytime we eat. However, keep away from sugar most often as it is more likely to increase weight

Furthermore, when eating, take time to chew your food so that it's easy for your body to burn fats.

And lastly, go for water and fresh fruit juices instead of juices with artificial flavoring and soft drinks, as artificial sweets can make you gain weight. Additonally eating freash fruits and vegetables Is a good alternative for snacks.

And of course if you are really serious like me to really lose weight and really get slim, this could be a good start. But of course never forget to accompany this diet tips with exercise to get a slim and firm body. Breeze walking can be a great start :)

A Fresh Start

noreply@blogger.com (redhead) — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 18:20:00 +0000

All set for the New Year?

Talking about starting over, definitely this is the best time to create a new path and continue the journey of life.

For the year it was… it was a year of building up a great faith in people despite the difficulties, a great year of sharing what life has to offer. A year of growth and realizations about the importance of people around us who have made us strong despite all the odds in our lives.

For this year, it is meant to give thanks for another year of being alive, for another chance to be better, for another opportunity to experience another challenges that lies ahead of us, and another chance to embrace what life is to offer and get on with it as long as we can.

And to all of us… May we be able to find our purpose, peace, joy and love as we journey on to a new chapter of our lives… Best wishes for 2010 friends :)

Overwhelmingly Good

noreply@blogger.com (redhead) — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 06:14:00 +0000

Things happen when you least expect it. Another cliché, but what the heck, experience tells us that it is absolutely true. Sometimes, the good things that happen to us are sometimes beyond what we have expected or even hoped for, and we wonder how amazing God is, for showering us such a wonderful grace.

Remembering that feeling so overwhelming when something good pass our way, when we are blessed with so much abundance that you sometimes wonder how amazing can life get, and in such amazing blessing, we are more inspired to work hard to retain that feeling of enthusiasm… that excitement. But there are moments when we finally found ourselves working our ass off, we tend to lose that feeling when everything seemed to be so brand new turns to be just the ordinary things we live day by day, we lose the momentum. And we become tired and bored with the situation, well perhaps it was because we are already used to the situation, that everything seemed ordinary, which only meant we are now at our comfort zone, and once we do, it’s about time we change pace, or perhaps take a step higher, find something that will bring back that feeling of wanting to be better, take on another challenge.

I love my life

noreply@blogger.com (redhead) — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 06:07:00 +0000

I’m back to my own shelter, after a day and a half of adventure, I am back to the comfort of my bed. I know I should be sleeping by now but seems that I just feel the need to write about anything. And I guess it’s better not to sleep just yet, because when I die? I have a lot of sleeping to do, and not worry about waking up. I am alive, and I have to make something out of life before heading on to that never ending moment of sleep.

How does it feel to be alive? I say it’s this moment, this moment when I am doing something. This moment when I am building myself, this moment when I am creating something good, this is what it takes to be alive… finding and creating something good… something great.

I’ve been passive for a while, and I think that moment of mediocrity is way down in my trash bin, I’m back to the game of life. I have what it takes to become better, some may think I’m not cut out for anything, but the hell with those people, I’m gonna make good and I’m gonna do good.

Okay, seems like I’m ranting now. But I don’t care, I have this moment now, and I’m making use of it… and perhaps the best time to say something to people who seem to think they actually know you, when what? They weren’t there to see you work your ass off to be a good person, they weren’t there to see you grow up. I’m sorry but screw these people. I won’t let you get into me and ruin what I have built, i’m gonna do this, I’m gonna live my life.

And thank you. Thank you for what was said; it makes me want to continue to be better. It makes me want to go on and be better. THANK YOU.

Now, I feel better. Good.

Cleaning Out My Closet

noreply@blogger.com (redhead) — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 14:19:00 +0000

I just cleaned my closet today... taking away things that are no longer needed.... so I put away all the old clothes that are no longer in use and place it in the basket. I planned to give it away... Nothing really special, I just feel that its about time I let go of the things I have outworn.

I decided to put it all in the basket along with other stuff... I wish to give it away. And just as I am cleaning my room and my closet... I am also throwing old bad memories... something that is just so hard to let go... but this time, I am taking things seriously. Hmmm... its a whole new way to start life again I guess... :)

All these old stuff... I'm thinking of giving it to people who needs it most... As I was packing... my heart is filled with so much hope... that things would eventually fall to its place after this. I wanna feel better... I wanna be the better me, if not the best. And I intend to correct my life this time :)

The Ultimate Davao Getaway Guide Commercial Launching

noreply@blogger.com (redhead) — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 11:11:00 +0000

After a series of commercial shoot for different establishments, we finally launched the commercial last April 16, 2008 at Eagle’s Bar at Marco Polo Hotel, and Media People, advertisers and entrepreneurs were present to witness the event.

I was really so proud because it was my first time to direct a commercial, and I finally made it happen. Would you believe it? Can’t believe it either (lol)

The Ultimate Davao Getaway Guide Commercial were shown in all airports in Mindanao such as Davao, Cagayan, General Santos, Zamboanga, and more. It will also be shown on local cable networks in Davao, Channel 63 and Channle 28. Watch out for it. (All smiles).

Do Not Lose Heart

noreply@blogger.com (redhead) — Sat, 14 Mar 2009 12:36:00 +0000

When I experience trouble in my life... and I feel like losing my grip on situation... I would read this verse from the bible... and reflect on it.. from there, I am reminded that I am well taken cared of by the heavenly Father... :)

So if you feel downcasted because of the unfavorable scenario in your life... read the Bible... you would definitely find God talking to you... you want best advice? you can find it there... Encouraging words? still, you can find it there... even good stories... :)

Do Not Lose Heart

Therefore we do not lose heart.Though outwardly we are wasting away,
yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.For our light and momentary troublesare achieving for us an eternal glorythat far outweighs them all.
So we fix our eyes not on what is seen,but on what is unseen.For what is seen is temporary,but what is unseen is eternal.

2 Corinthians 4:16-18

No Vendors Allowed

A Night filled with Unexpectedly Wonderful Things

noreply@blogger.com (redhead) — Sat, 07 Mar 2009 09:06:00 +0000

Even until today, I cant seem to get used to the fact that things really happen when you least expect it to... So much had happen last night that Its not everyday that I feel so proud and special at the same time.. hahaha... amazing that people you hardly know can turn out to be people you end up admiring for their kind and very appreciative hearts. I am just so elated with their way of showing their appreciation of what I did. And its like in an instant I just found myself having a connection with these people that I look up to in terms of dealing with others. People with a very wonderful soul.

Aside from these people who showed their gratitude to me, I am also blessed that people I had conflict with sometime in the past, became friends that I could smile with. I never really thought that I could even exchange smiles with these people because of the circumstance we come across with, but hell just that simple "Hello" and a genuine smile made the difference, and things are patched up again.

I am aware that people, especially those that we value can't be there for us sometimes... there will be times that they have to stray far from us, but I do know that friendship are kept... friendship that is just beyond compare... I had the chance to hear the voice of a friend, a very special one... over the phone last night... it was the first that I heard the person's voice after so many months... and that's when I figured that things have really changed but, what is so remarkable is that... real friendship lasts... and its beyond distance and beyond time.

These are just one of the great things that is just so memorable.. it really touched my heart. :)

Commercial: The Hof Gorei Resort Commercial Experience

noreply@blogger.com (redhead) — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 10:27:00 +0000

My experience during the Hof Gorei Commercial Shoot was indeed a great deal of experience… I don’t know, but I don’t find video production work as a work so to speak but instead, a way of having fun? Find it weird? (laughs)

This is actually my first time to direct a commercial and man, though pressure gets into me sometimes? It also gives me an adrenaline rush… wanting to conquer the moment.

My day started at 6am where I was getting ready for an eight am call time at the Wharf going to Samal Island where the boat of the resort is set to pick us up at the exact time. And me directing went on the entire day… it was so fun… its really a great experience that one shouldn’t miss.

The resort is great place to relax and the rooms and cottages are really nice and a place for comfort… it has rustic native design that gives you a relaxing ambiance. And the view from the top of the guesthouse overlooks the entire resort and the sea.

Failure as an Opportunity

noreply@blogger.com (redhead) — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 13:59:00 +0000

Every once in a while, we find ourselves in great adversity… and too many times we stumble. But hey, having to fall short once in a while is part of life… it makes life not so easy but it is exciting at the same time.

Even the most successful people in history experience different kinds of defeat before they reach success… and mind you they are the likes of Albert Einstein… Thomas Edison… they went through temporary detours before they made a name in history.

For people such as them, they see failure as their teacher, it was their backbone for success… they used it as a tool to manage the future, before they even made a name in history, people think that they don’t amount to something, but they proved everyone wrong. They did not allow painful events to derail them from becoming who they are now.

So if you are experiencing temporary defeat in you life, remember you are not the only who experience defeat… and hey, Failure is an opportunity turned upside down. Think about it.

love ventures

noreply@blogger.com (redhead) — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 09:25:00 +0000

So ironic that circumstance can excite us and make us sad at the same time. Its like, you are happy with what’s taking place, but you know, it could mean having to let go of something that also matters to you.

Right now, it’s really a mixed emotion for me. My boyfriend just got a new job… and I am really so happy for him… In fact, I am even proud of him. But along with my being happy is an upcoming loneliness. His job requires him to be thousands of miles away from each other… and boy, I don’t know if it would work out, I really hope it does…

I can’t be selfish and tell him not to go because I believe he deserves to prove something for himself… I mean this is something that would define his being, why would I hold him back? The only thing I know now is to believe that he is making something out of himself… and whatever his decisions will be… I will be happy for him.

* Boss, wish you all the best in your new path… things may change along the way, still I’m happy and proud that you finally made a step higher… you have my support.

Remembering Someone's Lost

noreply@blogger.com (redhead) — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 11:44:00 +0000

Hi friends... I know I have been really out of touch for a time... I have been through so many things these past months that, I don't have a choice but to take some time off in the blogger world.

Today, I remember a tragic event that took place some years ago that really crippled some of the people I know that have been part of my life. Last 2003 of the same day, the day, that I saw one of the people close to me suffered because of a lost of a loved one... and she was the reason why I somehow got inspired to write a film about that incident that took place in the same day.

If you happen to be a regular reader of my blog... you would be familiar with our film entitled: "Marsokwatro", where i made a post about it last year, it is a film inspired by that tragic incident in the Davao International Airport, that robbed the lives of many. The day where, a supposed to be happy reunion turned out to be a day for mourning... a day where a bomb explosion erupted.

I'm blogging about it... because, I happen to recall how it feels like to be in that situation where you don't have any choice but to keep up with the way life just turned out... it was a downright painful experience to go through, but there is no way to run but to accept the reality, that we just can't be with those people we shared our entire life with... and though it was a very tragic event... I believe there is always a room for healing... my friend have moved on, though sometimes we think of him... we talk about him... and she even cry sometimes... but I saw in those eyes, a strong soul, who take things with faith that everything happens for the right reason... sometimes, it may be hard to grasp the real reason behind the situation... but eventually, things just end up the way they should.

To my friend Miah, I know, this is one of the painful moments, a moment of remembrance for our beloved "lolo". I wish you to be the strong soul that I have always believed you to be... I wish I can be there for you in this moment of painful remembering... and share in your moment of pain... but I guess the only thing I can do now, is to let you know that I'm here... and I'll be praying along with your family.

Five Reasons Why I LOVE BOHOL :)

noreply@blogger.com (redhead) — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 23:24:00 +0000

Hmmm... I love Bohol... and there could be hundreds of reason why I love the place... but I think its better to simplify it to only 5 reasons.. :)

BOHOL is one of the nominees in the SEVEN WONDERS OF THE WORLD. Hmmm... isn't it a reason enough to have a taste of BOHOL? tsk tsk :) -- a lot of tourist abroad comes to bohol and get to see its beauty... so why not have a taste of bohol?

I get to visit the very inviting FLOATING RESTAURANT of the LOBOC RIVER. (The Place where John Lloyd Cruz and Bea Alonzo with Sam Milby had a shoot on ) a very nice place... and THE FOOD? "deliciouso" (delicious) -- Prawns, chicken, Barbecues and the list goes on!

a remarkable performer with its instant fansloboc river at night

THE CHOCOLATE HILLS -- a very nice view of the chocolate hills. It was a very nice experience... Finally, I've seen it up close and really, its so amazing that it doesnt have that chocolatey color when you get to have a closer view. :) AMAZING isn't it?

up close in Bohol... Chocolate Hills

THE TARSIER -- yes the ENDANGERED TARSIER... Guys, these creatures may be weird looking? but hey, they are so cutie and so gentle... only, when you get to have that moment with TARSIERS? DO NOT TOUCH them and PUT OFF THE FLASHES FROM YOUR CAMERA. -- it is said that once you touch them they DIE. (and we don't want that. right??)

an endangered specie... Tarsier

THE PEOPLE -- yes, the people here are so hospitable and very accommodating. They would even let you in to their humble home... even if you are a complete stranger. No kidding guys. ITS TRUE. I even gained a friend after I visited BOHOL... her name is ROSE.

Now you know why I LOVE BOHOL? ITS the complete package... the experience... the adventure... the fun.... the friends... the place... the people... EVERYTHING! :)
