Of Friends and Food

Food and friends really go together.

In Celebrating Christmas Day

Happy Birthday Jesus!
The warmth of Christmas and the spirit of the season is most heartfelt when it is celebrated with family.

Of Time With Family

I believe the best thing about Christmas is spending it with family. Anything that you do together is just filled with laughter, fun times and wonderful memories.

Of Giving and Generosity

In the spirit of Christmas, Nu Skin Philippines organized it's yearly Force For Good Benefit Lunch for the benefit of The CHILD Foundation held at the Museo Pambata at Roxas Blvd, Manila.

In Being Santa Claus

Santa Claus is real through each and every one of us. I remember when I was growing up, my parents never fail to put a gift on our socks. Every year, they never fail to surprise us (although we always expect it anyway) with gifts from Santa Claus. One year, I can still recall, our local church had a project that the parents can have their gifts delivered to us by a Santa Claus riding on top of a Jeepney. I was in grade school, and even if I kind of understand that he was not the real Santa Claus, I was happy that he came to our house. In fact, I was very very happy.

Now, why am I telling you about this? Because we all need to believe in something. There is something magical in Christmas. This is a season of miracles and love and generosity. This is a holiday filled with belief. Children should always have something to believe in, because if we don't believe in something at a young age, how can we believe that something is possible when we get older. 

As young children, we all believe that everything in life is possible. We can be astronauts and scientist and even presidents. We can be superheroes, and kings and princesses. If we believe in something when we were young, it is easy for us adults to believe that our dreams are still possible. 

Santa Claus lived through my parents, our parents, when we were young, and now it is our turn to be Santa Claus for the next generation. We need to help them build their belief in miracles. Because it is true, life is filled with miracles, big and small. Life is an amazing journey that everything is possible. 

I thank my parents for teaching me to believe in an ideal world where magic happens and miracles are parts of our daily life. Now that I am grown up, I am enlisting myself as part of the Santa Claus team bringing good cheer to children (an adults, too) everywhere. Someday, my children will be part of this team too for their own children. 

This is an early Christmas greeting, but may your life be filled with the magic of the holiday season all year through. Buenas dias.

Of Thanksgiving and Celebration

2012 has been an amazing year. There are so much to be thankful about - the growth, the learning, the realization, the success, the new business partners, new friends and the person that I have become. I think it should be an everyday habit to be thankful for every blessing that comes our way.

To celebrate the year end, my community - Lead Global had a Thanksgiving Party. It was a night of gratefulness, vision casting, games, laughter, appreciation, talents, tears of joy and fun. It is amazing when you are with your friends that you respect and admire. 

To set our 2013, the event was Turkey inspired with all of us attending in our Turkey-ish costumes. It was to set our minds for our next goal in the coming year. It was an exciting night indeed. 

I believe the highlight of the evening was the "thanksgiving goodies". We were asked to bring goodies - aka chocolates, candies and sweets to share and offer to everyone in the party that we are thankful for. I laughed and cried during that time because I felt the warmth of everyone and I appreciate all that they did for my success this 2012.

Personally, I would like to thank my mentors Pax and Gina Paculaba, my coaches Raphael Mercado and Patricia Robles, my buddy Kris Ramirez, my wonderful team Velocity, the core team, my new found friends and my amazing community. My 2012 has been the best because of you guys.

May your life be filled with amazing people to support you in your dreams. Buenas dias!
