I don't like making future plans. Lol. Well, maybe, just maybe, I fear that if I make plans, it won't come true. Now, there goes the problem. FEAR. I know that very same fear, will actually create the very thing that I do not want, which is for my plans not happening! Erase, erase, erase. I honestly like making goals. Planning for the future. Envisioning things, places, events, people, dreams coming true. I like that. I just don't want to talk about it to a lot of people or even to a few, because those goals are actually sacred to me, I want it just between me and God. So I don't talk about it. BUT, I'm changing my mind, because, I just want to share it this time!!! Like I always said, my posts in this blog are only for those who are called to read it, Lol! Anyway, what's the BIG plan? Mmmm, I changed my mind again. Lol! .. Do you really want to know? Lol #justmessingwithyou  NAMASTE. -day 232

Funny.  My son, Mimoi, came home from school one day with a sticker on his shirt. I asked him, "What is this?" He told me, "Oh, the policemen came to our class.. but they didn't arrest us!" Lol! Talk about perception at an early age. It may have come from the movies he's watching and maybe, when he hears us say "the policeman is coming" when he is being naughty. He continued sharing his story about dialing 911 during emergencies and the need to buckle their seat belts when riding a school bus. It is nice to hear how excited he is to be in school again and gain new friends in the process. It has been 4 years now since they left Philippines and I know, though not intentional, I have deprived them of being with their grandparents and relatives and what "playing outside" experience really means... But, I know it's all for good.... For as long he lives a life of integrity, respect, courage and responsibility, for sure he...

I would like to believe that my experiences are simply because of pure luck or coincidences but are they really? I was wanting to eat Goldilocks polvoron, really simple story, lol! I asked my husband about, maybe, asking a friend to buy it for me, since she left to visit her family in the Philippines. Great timing, right? But, decided not to. The next day, guess, what happened? I visited one of the schools, I was assigned to, and was greeted by one of the Filipino teachers working there, out of the blue, she pulled out a plastic bag full of goodies and gave me Goldilocks polvoron!  Did I attract it? Mmm... Here's more: I was so sleepy and decided to sleep but I was afraid somebody might call me, so I turned my cellphone to a silent mode. Just minutes after I went to bed, somebody knocked on the door looking for me! How lucky could I get? If there are no coincidences... then, I guess, with just my THOUGHTS I was able to attract the simple Goldilocks polvoron ...

  "The only way that I will ever be great to myself is not what I do to my body but what I do to my mind." - Ramtha from the documentary "What the bleep do we know". Hey, it's all about infinite possibilities, how powerful our mind is and how our thoughts can become our reality. I remember being scared of just the thought of "infinite possibilities" - since it also equates to anything can happen...AS IN, anything! Just like an ocean full of possibilities, vast, large, powerful.. scary! I know I can just focus on the positive extremes but knowing there is the negative extreme too can be "goosebumps-maker" indeed! Nonetheless, I think cleansing our thoughts of negativity and addiction matter a lot too! Our bodies are basically the manifestation of our very own thoughts. Our bodies may already be telling us something, and we are still not aware of it, until the last-minute... we may already be feeling its effects but have for...

So, what if after following "..whatever-your-mind-can-conceive-and-believe, it-will-achieve" mindset and just tried to focus on what we want, STILL the result isn't what we want?  What will we do next.. and how come it didn't work? Well, I've just read THE SECRET by Rhonda Byrne book again, and interestingly, my question, just got answered: Quoting from the book, page 146:  Don't become mesmerized by the pictures that have appeared if they are not what you want. Take responsibility for them, make light of them if you can and let them go. Then think new thoughts of what you want, feel them and be grateful that it is done. Now, here's my point of view: Maybe, just maybe, it didn't happen because for a thing to manifest, it actually needs our emotions in it. The feeling of being happy about it.. the feeling of ecstasy.. because we really want it! .. and another rule of the thumb is never to ever let any negative thoughts come into play. No neg...

 Remember the 88 years old? http://gemsdaily.blogspot.com/2011/12/not-too-late.html and her reminders? http://gemsdaily.blogspot.com/2012/01/meet-88-year-old.html Not too late... My stories: She's 89 years old - Part 1 She's 89 years old - Part 2 She's 89 years old - Part 3 NAMASTE. -day 223 to 225

First thing this morning, I decided to drop by her school, to hopefully sit down with her again, to, maybe, if we could, finish her very first IEP preparation for this year. She wasn't there. Not too late... I was thinking, maybe she was sick or maybe caught up with family issues, but no. She has finally decided to retire, yesterday. Her co-teachers shared how she has been crying the whole time yesterday. I just felt sad for her. I was not sure what she really wants, or maybe, she's just left with no choice. She's old. I  was not sure what to feel. I felt numb. I did feel relieved about the news, about her freed from doing all the computer work at 89, and yet I just suddenly missed her. Deep inside, she actually reminded me of my late grandmother. During my elementary and high school years, I would just visit Mama, I'd watch whatever old Tagalog movie she'd be watching in the television and at 3 o'clock, we'd pray the 3 o'clock habit. We ...
