How I Want My Valentine To Be Special

How I Want My Valentine To Be Special

With every single person I come into contact, I can either giving love or not.   Based on what I  give, that is what I receive.

Not only on Valentine’s day, give love to others through kindness, encouragement, support, gratitude, or any good feeling.  Definitely, this will come back in multiples.

Look for the things you love in a relationship more than you notice negative things,  Constantly, it will appear as if something incredible has happened to the other person. You have to be happy to receive the happy versions of other people!

The force of love presents you with a whole array by choosing to love.

Life is presenting every person and circumstance to you so you can choose what you love and what you don’t love. When you react to anything you are reacting with your feelings, and as you do, you are choosing it!

Changing the way you feel is easy compared to running around trying to change the circumstances of the outside world. Change your feelings and the outside circumstances will change!  This is how I perceive my love to be special.

Spread the love of life!

My Daily Personal Reminder

My Daily Personal Reminder

My Daily Personal Reminder

Photos courtesy of: http://flickrcc.bluemountains.net

It’s your life, so be willing to be fully responsible for it. Take charge of your own destiny.

Don’t sit around hoping somebody will give you a break. Get busy and do the work that will enable you to live life fully on your own terms.

Avoid falling into the trap of blaming others for your situation. For when you assign blame to others, you are putting yourself under their control.

Instead, put yourself and your life under your own control. You know what’s best for you, so do what is necessary to make that happen.

If you could use some encouragement, give it to yourself. When there’s something you don’t know how to do, take it upon yourself to learn.

The fulfillment you seek is something you must create as a result of your own responsibility, commitment, discipline and efforts. Get focused, get busy and experience the outstanding joy of living life on your own terms.

I Choose

I Choose

I Choose…
to live by choice, not by chance;
to make changes, not excuses;
to be motivated, not manipulated;
to be useful, not used;
to excel, not compete;
I choose self-esteem, not self pity;
I choose to listen to my inner voice,
not the random opinion of others.

Remembering my Loved Ones

Remembering my Loved Ones

“Take every chance you get in life because some things only happen once. Do now that makes you happy.”

Secret of Happiness of 100-Year-Old Man

The first time I saw this commercial that talked about the 100-year old man who made a visit to his newborn great grand daughter, the values and authenticity are so real. I will not lost a chance on commercials that astonished me which gave substance and meaning to the viewer. I did several posts about commercials or videos which is not only viral but give the meaning of life. I am not paid with this but basically I am endorsing it to convey the real meaning of the message within.

This gave me a goose bump nostalgic moments. We were a family that grandparents were very, very close to our heart that reminded my lolo (grandfather) who were died 10 years ago. I am still lucky I have with me my grandmother, my Mommy Lola which we fondly called. Her wisdom and being healthy gave the manifestation of zest for life. Her joys were still very heart warming to us.

For me, it is not more about the Coke commercial. It gave a move to a goal in life, finding what makes you happy, its secret. Time passes very quickly and before we knew it, another day has passed by. Take every chance you get in life because some things only happen once. Do now that makes you happy.

I also love to share this full of quotes about what Life can offer:

Life can seem ungrateful and not always kind
Life can pull at your heartstrings and play with your mind

Life can be blissful and happy and free
Life can put beauty in the things that you see

Life can place challenges right at your feet
Life can make good of the hardships that we meet

Life can overwhelm you and make your head spin
Life can reward those determined to win

Life can be hurtful and not always fair
Life can surround you with people who care

Life clearly does offer its ups and its downs
Life’s days can bring you both smiles and frowns

Life teaches us to take the good with the bad
Life is a mixture of happy and sad

So…..

Take the life that you have and give it your best
Think positive, be happy let God do the rest

Take the challenges that life has laid at your feet
Take pride and be thankful for each one you meet

To yourself give forgiveness if you stumble and fall
Take each day that is dealt you and give it your all

Take the love that you’re given and return it with care
Have faith that when needed it will always be there

Take time to find the beauty in the things that you see
Take life’s simple pleasures let them set your heart free

The idea here is simply to even the score
As you are met and faced with Life’s Tug Of War

~ Author Unknown

My name is Lolo Mario and in my 100 years of life,
I have been lucky, lucky to have been born like you
To have friends and family
To live a happy life to this day
You have been born in challenging times
The world is a big place
It’s so easy to get lost
To guide you, my advice is simple
Go find what makes you happy
Time flies by so fast
Don’t waste it on non-sense
And no matter where you end up
Don’t forget where you came from
Looking back on all my years
I am grateful for every moment spent
With my friends and family
Now I can see that 100 years
is not nearly enough time
To spend with them
Happiness is your birthright
Your friends and family will help you find it
For 100 years of happiness, thank you very much!

New Chapter with my Belle de Jour Plannner and Figaro Notebook

New Chapter with my Belle de Jour Plannner and Figaro Notebook

Year 2011 is a chapter that I was so thankful.  Basically, it is not yet an end.   It maybe rich with turnarounds of ups and downs. Definitely, my story is just starting as I continuously playing the beat of it.

Got to woke up early and getting ready myself for work tomorrow.  Yes, I am excited and preparing things to bring.  Well,  for this another year, 12 months of anticipated brand new experiences.  There were many resolutions, stuffs that I love to do more.  From here, I cannot decide what would be the first.  Do I have to list, gather or collect?

As I sit down,  I am considering to start all over with a clear and open mind, no baggage at all.  I don’t need grudges, fears and even guilty feeling.  I just let it go.  I am viewing myself to more commitments and fulfillment, how I will spend my time and what I can give more.

Preparing my two companions – Belle De Jour Planner 2012 and Figaro Coffee Notebook. These are my push and I am listing down everything  – my constant reminders that will put into writing.

I have to decide now spending more time to life that my heart is unceasingly love to do.  No room from the past that holds me but more on the lessons learned.

It is up to me, to us to take the initial steps.  No holding back.  Focus to make it happen the best year of our lives. All are always filled with endless possibilities.

Happy 1st Birthday Live Life Fullest!

Happy 1st Birthday Live Life Fullest!

“Don’t feel bad if you already broke your New Year’s Resolutions. Make a New Week’s Resolution and start today.  You can do anything you put your mind and heart to.”

happybday

Happy First Blog Anniversary to my dear, dear Live Life Fullest – www.livelifefullest.com.

Remember my ever first post with Live Life Fullest (LLF) – http://livelifefullest.com/2011/01/01/opening-new-book-of-my-life-for-2011/?  LOL  How time flies!  I never expect that I will reach this far.

Yes, setting up a blog or website for me is very, very easy.  But maintaining to keep my content  journal up-to-date is the challenging part.  I was in my comfort zone and every time flied a day, I was a bit guilty for not pursuing regularly my passion to share.  Overall, it is exciting.  I survive for one year!

A new beginning indeed and given I am taking the initial steps to go for another year, I am definitely “IN”!  As long that we are starting and putting our hearts annd mind, it is just ok.

I would like to share with you a quote that I just read about “Beginnings”.

The single most important decision you can make is to begin.

Begin even if you are afraid. Begin even if you don’t know how things will turn out.

Begin ESPECIALLY if you are terrified of beginning.

The only real difference between someone who “made it” and

someone who will always wonder “what’s making it like?” is that

someone who “made it” BEGAN and then NEVER LOOKED BACK.

For the dedicated journeyer – there is no plan B, there is no attachment to outcome, there is no end point.

People who end up living the life of their dreams follow their intuition,

they know that death is coming and act as if today is the day they will meet death.

When you die to your fear’s daily then you can be free.

Free to go on the journey your heart is dying for you to take.

Begin your journey today. No more fear.

No more “what if’s”. No more wondering what its like to be someone who made it.

Don’t worry about making it. Worry about never starting. Start NOW!

~ Written by Mastin Kipp

Yes, I am ready again for new dreams, goals to pursue, hopes and challenges….Absolutely, this will be another great year ahead!

Hopefully, this is the year I will become stronger, braver, kinder and unstoppable. This year I will be fierce. Cheers guys as my one year for blissful year in living life to the fullest will become always a reality.

Tiny Moments of Taste at Sinfully

Tiny Moments of Taste at Sinfully

“Life is so great that we only get a tiny moment to enjoy everything we see. And that moment is right now.” ~ Neil Pasricha

TinyMoment

 

The whole first week of December were lot of planning and brainstorming at client sites. Considering other consultancy work that I have like three to five website make-overs and other stuff to consider. Haay, I just breathe within…Wow, whattta happy problem afterall!   Maybe because the year will be entering another milestone for the business and everything has to prepare..

To tell you honestly, quite beaten by stress…Human inside, even I love to organize things out…It crops up to my mind and still prioritize.

What I did was to go around the mall after a mind-boggling meeting and amazed to see these little cute chocolates and assorted pralines at Sinfully by Makati Shangri-la…With my cam, I took pictures of it and grab a piece of taste to indulge my cravings for P 50.00 each.

To tell you honestly, I was heading off again for another meeting and quite late already. I really took a few minute break to watch how intricately  they made this tasty bite with their loving hands.    Freshness and handmade homemade treats indeed that made me urge to buy.

What a tingling excitement as I found their chocolate heaven taste.   Not too sweet but the taste is just right to my taste palette! I just ate two and it is enough.  Maybe to enjoy more the taste, one has to savor it slowly.

Exaggerating on my remarks maybe but that was how I felt because way back then I also personally do chocolates for my family and friends.  When I checked a simple website that I have done for chocolates named Chocolate Heaven (http://virtualbizph.com/chocoheaven/index.html) – it is still there.   A reminiscence, another passionate hobby that I can only do this again given me a lot of time.

This petite shop got also macaroons, pastries mini cakes and holiday hamper goodies…

All of them are not only a feast to the eye but also love to taste.

I guess I just forget my too much over thinking to stuff related profession.   I  have to treat myself as my simple gift for hard days work.  One deserve it.

Now, life is really great getting this tiny moment and simply enjoy everything.  Especially that Christmas 2011 is fast approaching.  Just give a warm hug, a sweet smile to persons you met or laughter to your colleagues.  Do not pass that moment and do it right now.

I am definitely A-ok now and ready for another battle.  So bring it on!

Peee…..Essss….I even bought a box of 6 pieces for my kids for them to yearn and share this craving.  Like me, they love it!
