Sending Relief to Typhoon Sendong Victims


The recent devastation of Typhoon Sendong to Cagayan de Oro and Iligan sent thousands of families homeless and people, adult and children alike dead and hundreds feared to be still missing.  In the face of ravages of Typhoon Sendong, Filipinos both local and abroad have again proven our true spirit of Bayanihan (coming together) especially during times of adversities such as this.  
As tons of relief items and millions of monetary donations continue to pour, whatever contributions we have afforded, small or big are all counted and well appreciated.  Sometimes, a small thing we can do can mean everything in another person’s life. 

The heart of God is close to the poor  and  needy.  When we give with a cheerful heart, we reap the joy of sharing.  He promise to bless those who bless  others with a faith-filled giving. 

I am humbled and grateful to my fellow Filipinos  at the City of Calgary, church mates and friends who have given their good as new clothes donation and monetary contribution to cover the freight expenses in sending four (4) balikbayan boxes to the victims of Typhoon Sendong.  Thank you very much for your kind heart and generosity.  May God continue to prosper you by blessing the works of your hands and crowning all your efforts with success.


Proverbs 19:17




Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will repay him for his deed.

I am back..

It's been a while ago. I don't even remember when was the last time I blogged. All I can recall I started blogging 15 years ago. It was that time when I dauntlessly made a major shift from being an assiduous corporate executive, to an aspiring entrepreneur, to grappling the summons of married life, to dealing with so many life issues and embracing the raucous reality of starting life all over again. It was that time when I decided to fracture myself from the so-called "captivity in Egypt," to "crossing the red sea," to my "wilderness experience" up to my on-going "journey to the promise land".


In October 2007, entering the "promise land, aptly called the land flowing with milk and honey," which is Canada for me at the moment was another adventure in my life, family, career and my continued quest for what God had envisioned me to be. It's been more than four fantastic years of living in Canada, seeing the beauty of God's wonderful creation, experiencing the abundance of this country, learning new things in life that I had never thought I could accomplish and facing new challenges I had never imagined I could overcome. Truly, God will never allow anything to cross our paths that we and Him could not handle.


Once again, please adventure with me as I go to places and meet new faces in 2012. It is my deepest desire to be able to share what God had entrusted and allowed me to experience by inspiring and encouraging people. To be able to make a difference in someone's life by sharing a part of my journey into the heavenly place that God had prepared for me.  I am excited to once again squeeze my creative juices, conquer my deepest thoughts and explore what is beyond.  I am happy to be back.  Please welcome me!
