I haven’t gone camping since I was in girl scouts some 20 years ago. Now my hubby-to-be wants to go camping after we get married. I used to joke that I’d go camping or mountain climbing if there was a spa at the top of the mountain. I’ll get fit first and increase my endurance so I can enjoy the great outdoors with my baby.See more progress on: go camping

This is SO worth doing. Reading the Bible is essential in living the life God wants us to lead. I’m on my 4th round and the Word still feels fresh and new.It helps to pick up a different version/translation after each turn. I’m on the CEV – Contemporary English Version – given to me by a friend at the Philippine Bible Society. I’ve read the New International Version (NIV) and the New Living

I want to create a life I can't wait to live.Gotta get this on my wish list.On the subject of living a life of purpose, passion and peak performance, nobody tells it better than Zig Ziglar.

There are just some songs that stick to you. When you hear those songs, their lyrics tug at your heartstrings and your brain wants to scream out "Yes, I know what you mean!" Lately, these are the lines that get to me. In my inability to articulate my recent sentiments, borrowing the words of others seems to be the next best thing. Below is my personal soundtrack of late.

A really beautifully made TV commercial for the Shangri-la Hotels and Resorts presents this wonderful question: "Where do you find your shangri-la"? The word "shangri-la" conjures up images of paradise, a utopia, an idyllic happy land. This was the question I brought along with me during the recently concluded Easter holiday.It started on April 14, on a very Good Friday that God gave me a chance

I'll be starting work in Makati next week. Whoo hoo hoo!Am looking for a condo/appartment in Makati. 1br/2br. With parking is ideal. Rent to own or to buy (ammortized). Budget ko sana is P10k/mo. My folks and I are toying with the idea of buying a 2br unit also and having our house here in BF rented out.Well, shopping around pa naman. ;)

The Lord gave me a Word last month when I was praying for wisdom how to go about my resignation. He said, "August 15."At that time I didn't know what He meant. Did He mean that I file on that day? Did He mean I'd be out by that day? When I asked for clarity, with a wink and a smile the Lord repeated, "August 15."I believed God and trusted Him that by faith I would see His goodness and

Working out without a trainer is tough. It takes personal commitment, discipline and self control to push myself to finish sets with the appropriate weight, pacing and breathing.I thank God for Kaye, my personal trainer. She checks my form, tells me I can do more and reminds me that my goal is to increase endurance, lower my body fat from 31.6% to somewhere in the 20's, increase muscle tone and

It takes me only 10 minutes by car or 30 minutes on foot to get to my workplace. Out of my village, I take a right to Concha Cruz Drive, left on Alabang Zapote Road, left to Market Street in front of Ford Alabang and look for parking. I pulled up on a nice spot behind our building and started on the routine vehicle disembarking procedure: turn off wiper, turn off radio, turn off car, unlatch

After a long day today in Ortigas and Makati I decided to top it off with a workout at Fitness First Alabang. It was the first time that I went through my routine on my own - no personal trainer.20 minutes on the treadmill without a heart monitor and I kept on wondering if I was going over my dangerous 160 beats per minute mark. Incline 4, speed 6, finished with 94 calories burned. Hmmm... not

In Formula1, this phrase means the driver is giving his total committment, flying through the kerbs, straight-lining chicanes, flooring the accelerator, late-breaking, exiting fast out of the curve, pushing his engine, settting his sights on the top step of the podium.For me, this phrase just means I've got a lot to do today on just one project and I want to get them done before the weekend

Who is Braidwhip and why "Braidwhip"? My handle is a description of how my hair was before the day of my college graduation. On a whim back in my freshman year in high school, I decided to grow my hair and see if it would reach the hem of my toga come college 8 years from then. Well it did.To manage my straight black hair, I'd tie it to a ponytail and braid the length. Unbound it fell mid-calf;

I'd rather see a sermon than hear it any day, I'd rather that you go with me than merely point the way. The pupil is the better student than ever was the ear, Preaching is often confusing but example is always clear. (Overheard. If anyone know who the author is, I'd appreciate it.)

"When was the last time you did something for the first time?" The tag-line of the latest Emirates commercial has struck me. I see two dark-skinned (sorry, run out of politically correct adjectives), middle-aged men run out of a hotel to play in their life's first sight of snow.

Words Unsaid Hurtful words were said to me by my dad at the dinner table tonight. I don’t recall exactly what his words were but it was something to the effect that I was wasting my time. The course of the conversation was not directly about me. Dad made a generalizing comment that insinuated my inclusion in its sentiment. Right there I asked what he meant by it and if he was pertaining tome

MBA Is that for me? Nope. Not now at least. I have a vision for my life and at this point in time, an MBA is not yet needed. To those of you who feel pressured to enroll, ask yourself this question: "What is my vision in life?" You don't know? Ask God. Seriously. Without vision people cast off restraint. It's easy to say "no" or "yes" to things when you have a vision. "No" to things that
