2 Corinthians 4:17

VERSE:
   For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.



THOUGHT:

   Life can be very tough. Eventually, our bodies are going to die. In the process of living, we're going to face some very difficult circumstances and going to experience some awful pain. But, as bad as life's hard realities can be, we are headed for eternal glory beyond our imagining. Life's difficulties simply can't compare to this glory that awaits us.

Our pain is temporary. The things that cause our pain are temporary. The treatments, the prescriptions, the therapies, the surgeries, the setbacks are all temporary. All these things that we have seen and experienced are passing. 

But our eternal glory, our indescribable bliss, that wonderful future that we cannot yet see, is eternal ... forever ... incorruptible ... and reserved for us, God's precious children!

PRAYER:

   Dear God, my Abba Father, please be with me during the painful and difficult passages of my life. Help me keep my heart fixed on what is unseen.

In addition, dear Father, I want to pray that you please be present in the lives of the following people I love ... 

Please grant them healing. If not healing, dear Father, please pour your love into their hearts through the Holy Spirit and give them rugged perseverance and indestructible hope. 

Help them see your glory. In Jesus' name. Amen.

Missing Seizure Salad's Comments

Something popped up today in my FB Timeline, oh, it was my kiddo's selfie together for the 1st time that I posted in my profile 2 years ago. And when it comes to my kiddo's pictures and all my brother is my number 1 commentator.




Just like this one, he liked it and gave out his funny comments inline. I missed him doing that, seeing these throwback pictures again made me felt sad, and read back those comments that he posted. It made me smile and think about him today as I scrolled down those messages and the pictures he posted as a reply.

Thank you, dear LORD, for this day. Thank you so much for such a wonderful brother and his family that you have given me/given us. We can't thank you enough for all of these and thank you for the love, graces, blessings, and forgiveness that YOU have given us. 

No words can compensate for all that YOU have given us. Even our life is not enough as payment for all of these things. YOU are none other can ever be compared of. You deserve the highest praise and glory in our lives. The author and giver of life...

Online Penpals

I am currently visiting my old blog and tried some links that have been my blog ingredients way back then. There is this one special site where I met my online spiritual brother way back in 2002 or 2003.

We were able to communicate, exchanging emails, do chat over yahoo messenger, and met him here in my country Philippines where he married another Pinay. We became best of friends and lost contact for about 10 or 11 years and just only last year we were able to communicate once again via Facebook.

I might be visiting this site once again and post my own profile :) with caption...

"I am currently looking for an online friend whom I could exchange emails, pray and have fellowship with" :)

Mind you, having online friends gave me comfort back then. Hearing them out, venting to them, and knowing how are they doing indeed made me smile.

Let me share this site with anyone who would like to have online friends.

Gavino's Donuts

A new name in the doughnut industry- Gavino Japanese Donuts

Recently, there have been a lot of doughnuts, and donut invasions happening and this is the 1st time I will try these little cutie Japanese Donuts from Gavino. Love the color of their donuts and I must say what makes it apart from the rest is that it is chewy and gooey in texture. And of course very Asian in their flavors. One of those little munchkins reminds me of the butchi because of the filling it has.

I grew up knowing Dunkin as the only name in the field of doughnut industry however as time passed by a lot of competitors arose far exceeding what the name could give. 

Let me share the website so that you can take a glimpse of how this industry came to be.

Best Gift Ever | Happy Mother's Day!

I got home yesterday and my youngest opened the gate for me greeting me "Happy Mother's Day Mami! I have a gift for you- she handed me a little pink paper bag and then gave me a kiss.

She was actually standing in front of me waiting to open her gift. I told her I would open it later because I was pretty sure that it was very special. Then she smiled and ran away with her cousins to play.


This is actually the very moment that I always keep on telling my kids that gifts are always, always come from the heart. Because not all things can be bought with money. Thank you dear LORD that my daughters bear this in mind.

It's priceless that I got a handmade Mother's Day card from Sweet Heart. I really appreciate it. At a young age, she developed how to care and remember that expensive things and gifts are not always the things that make a person happy. 

Simple hugs and kisses and concern and care can cover it up all.

Cbox

For the longest time, I opened the blog year 2004, I started using this online message box named CBOX.

Yesterday, I visited my very 1st blog and saw this little tiny chat box still there waiting for somebody to have their presence felt. The last message left posted was 01/09/13 11:52 AM and the message goes...

01/09/13 11:52
Aaron: Wow! Full of information that thousand of my readers need it! Already LIKE and join your Google Friends Connect! Hope we can exchange now!

01/06/13 14:47
Myra: Hi! Blog walking back from me! Already share and LIKE your info on my Facebook & Twitter! Keep it updated!


Live Chat for your site · Cbox

https://www.cbox.ws/

It was during those times that blog walking or hopping is very rampant and exchanging links was indeed fun as you were able to find friends and link their blogs to your own site. I miss those days and really hope it'll do the same as today. People nowadays seldom read personal blogs anymore as online gaming and social media took their place and often occupy one's mobile. Kinda sad yet I am still hopeful with crossed fingers that there is still somebody out there still does blog hoppin' and walking.

I am not promoting CBOX however this online bloggie tool really deserved to be featured here in my blog. For almost 8 years now this site still serves its purpose to provide a live chatting tool, fast reliable, convenient real-time conversation on the web. And the best part of it is for FREE!!!

They do offer premium service yet I can say that the free subscription was indeed great. You could customize it in accordance with your blog theme template and design which I really, really love. As how many times my blog changes its appearance so with my CBOX. It is very easy to maintain and very user-friendly. I actually put this chat box in my blog and will be glad to have somebody leave a mark.

Happy Mother's Day!

Got a lot of greetings since yesterday in my FB timeline and of course one of the most celebrated occasions around the globe today is Mother's Day.


Hate to say that this one too is also been commercialized over time or perhaps the real essence of this day has been put into a more commercial gesture. Like pampering your mom on this day, give her gifts, and so on. Well, can't agree to disagree but still thankful that a special day like this has been given to honor and remembered all the mom out there. 

Should we not do this every day and be thankful to our lovely mothers each and every day? Because I normally do this every day, I am thankful to my mom that she is there for my kids and of course to me and my sibs. Those daily tasks she keeps doing for us without anything in return were indeed a blessing. Thank you is not enough to cause your dedication and love to us is far greater than any man could give us.

We are forever thankful to the Lord Almighty for giving you as our mom. No one can ever be compared to the sacrifices and love you have given us. Happy Mother's Day Mamita!

Good Morning

Dear Lord,

Good Morning!

I don't know who or what will cross my path today. But I do know that You are my Rock and my Fortress. You are my Shield and my Strong Tower.

Help me to anchor myself to You today. Teach me how to stand strong in You and choose only Your way today. Help me walk by Your truth and not my feelings. Help me to embrace anything that comes my way as an opportunity to see You at work and as an opportunity to point others to You.

Thank You that You love me and nothing can ever take that away from me! Even if I fail today and fall short, You whisper Your unconditional love deep into my soul and remind me that Your mercies are new every morning. That truly amazes me, Lord.

Thank You for meeting with me today.
Would You wake me again tomorrow with the same sweet whisper of Your love?
I can't wait to meet with You again.
In Jesus' Name, Amen."
As the sun peeks above the horizon, it's a gentle reminder that no matter how dark the night, light will always prevail."
"Morning's embrace is like a warm hug from the universe, comforting us and giving us the strength to face whatever lies ahead."
"Rising with the sun, we become witnesses to the world's awakening, a beautiful display of nature's resilience and tenacity."
"The dawn of a new day brings with it a sense of renewal, a chance to leave behind yesterday's mistakes and step into a brighter future."
"Morning showers us with gentle rays of hope, rekindling our sense of wonder and reminding us that miracles are possible."
"In the soft light of morning, we find a sacred stillness that allows us to reconnect with our inner selves and bask in gratitude for the gift of being alive."

Skin Mate Beauty Products

I am actually in the process of trying new skin products and would love to share with you guys the result once I am done with the peeling process and the maintenance part.


I started using this last month 1st week of April 2017 and since I promised to look for a substitute in my expensive Beauche beauty regimen I'll be writing my experience and review for this Skin Mate Beauty Products very very soon. 

Well, these beauty products come in cheap and with very few steps to achieve the result. I took a picture while inside the mall. Before trying this, of course, I read articles about reviews, experiences, and complaints to educate myself on the effect of this new product that I will be trying. Another thing is that the availability of this product was kinda scarce. I tried to check the following stores here on the south side of the metro and this is only available in one place. Unlike Beauche, you could find it everywhere. Skin Mate is not available in Mercury Drugstores, Watsons in/out of SM, and Pure Gold here in the south. 

My review will be out very very soon, and please be advised that I am not being paid to do this review.

Jedi's Athletes Foot

Just the other day, I saw my daughter Jedi scratching her feet and upon closer look, I found out some little tiny scaly wounds growing and with no doubt, this is an athlete's foot. I just can't believe it, it is so plentiful. She started to ask me questions about what is it, so I get hold of her iPad and typed in the words, and presto I am now reading to her what kind of skin disease she does have.


It is actually nice to have a moment like this with your daughters and to educate them where such skin diseases came from, their effects, and preventions. I showed them pictures of how such a disease varies each appearance from a different level and all they can say is "oh, how yucky!" "It's not nice Mami!" and my little one says "and it stinks too!".


I tried to search local medicines that are available in the Philippine market right now and thank YOU, LORD, there are creams such as bioderm, Nizoral, katialis to name a few, and soaps to heal and get rid of it. You could check on this page the prices just typed in the name of the medicine and it will give you the information and the prices http://www.thefilipinodoctor.com/index.php



Soaps that are available in our market right now were Dr. Kaufmann and Dr. S WongYou could check on this page the prices just typed in the name of the medicine and it will give you the information and the prices http://www.thefilipinodoctor.com/index.php 


Our 1st step is to give her soap only for her foot not to be shared with anybody parts or to anybody to stop the spread of fungal infection. After drying her feet the creams will be applied to have those little fungi dried up. My youngest has been advised and educated about this and is very active in sharing her questions participated in reminding her sissy of the step-by-step procedure.  

2nd step is that I asked her not to use her fabric doll shoes that she dearly love. We did replace these shoes with open-toe sandals and rubber-made sandals to eliminate odor and to keep her feet fresh and dry or just in case her foot became sweaty she could easily wipe it with a cloth or tissue paper. 

We are currently in the process of healing and will give an update about the outcome.

Beauche Skin Products

Sa dami nang lumalabas na skin whitening products ngayon malilito ka na kung anu talaga yung totoo, yung talagang maibibigay yung promised result sa iyo and yung wala lang pan-sayang pera lang.


I have tried several and would like to share to you yung talagang effective na nag work sa akin at the same time delivered the expected result. I started using Beauche way back 2015 and indeed I can say that the result is indeed good and made my skin flawless. It made people noticed and asked me what I am using. Very visible kasi yung result naman nya talaga, however very pricey sya and di sya praktikal for a plain housewife though I am not a plain housewife pero I value hard earned money. At the same time yung Beauche and tinatawag na Tiis-Ganda-Product. Why Tiis-Ganda? Kasi masakit sya sa mukha yet titiisin mo para lang gumanda. Beauche products will make your skin flawless-white and gives it pinkish glow lalo na if you are standing under the heat of the sun( this is after the peeling process). Beauche is my beauty regimen and I am actually on the process of trying a new product from the start of April 2017. I will also share it with you guys once I have proven the result.  

Let me share my experience and review about this product. To get the effect that this beauty product promised, you have to follow directions below; By the way in every starter pack that you will purchase they provided step by step procedure written in a small paper.  

Night Applications
soap-toner-clarifying solutions-exfoliating cream-rejuvenating cream

Day Applications
soap-clarifying solutions-age eraser cream

Sa mga unang araw the application were okay and smooth, wala ka pang ma raramdaman na itchiness or sakit since yung pag-babalat will take place after 3 days. If you wanted a speedy skin peeling you have to increase the amout of exfoliating cream na i-aapply mo sa area ng face mo like sa forehead, jaw line, temple kasi ito yung mga areas na matagal mag-balat or kung minsan di sya talaga nag-babalat. When the peeling started dyan ka na makaka-ramdam ng sakit lalo na pag pinahidan mo na ng clarifying solution yung newly peeled skin. 

Grabeh! ang hapdi at ang sakit nya lalo na pag nilagyan mo na sya ng exfoliating cream. Mapapamura ka talaga sa sakit mga bessie! Di lang yon, pag nasa process ka na ng pag babalat at gumamit ka na ng sabon sa face at neck mo ganuon din. Mahapdi sya at masakit. Kaya makaka ilang banlaw ka para lang mawala yung paghapdi nya. If you wanted to use this product, I highly reccommend wag summer season mo sya gamitin dahil you won't last to stand under the heat of the sun- masakit sya or even kahit sa hangin ng summer kasi nga manipis yung skin mo sa face newly peeled sya kaya ang laki ng chance na mag-karon ka ng skin irritations. Maganda itong gamitin during rainy season or yung pa-December kung saan malamig ang panahon.

For me, yung isang starter pack ay di sumasapat sa unang gamit kasi di lahat ng skin mo nag peeled off na so sa akin I normally have 2 of those para lang ma-totally complete yung pag babalat ng skin ko sa mukha at leeg. Then after nung peeling process all you have to do is to maintain the effect. For maintenance naman eto na lang yung ginagamit ko;

Night Applications
soap-clarifying solutions-rejuvenating cream

Day Applications
soap-clarifying solutions-age eraser cream
       
So far the effect in me were indeed good, however using this product depends on your skin type. May product kasi na pupuedeng effective sa isa pero hindi sa iba. I have read different views, reactions, commendations and even complains on this product. And ugaliin po natin na mag-basa-basa ng mga reactions ng iba para we will be eduated sa mga produkto na gagamitin po natin. In using and trying Beauche' it is of your own risk, if you see that there are manifestations na wala sa mga nabasa mo na skin reactions then it is a call for common sense to stop using it. 

My Take on this product were as follow;

LIKES: it made my skin flawless white and has a pinkish glow 

DISLIKES: expensive (I provided a price list below for your reference), too many solutions/creams to put on your face to achieve the best result, ouchy/painful experience during the peeling process (this could be traumatizing to some) 



Paalala: I am not being paid by the product company for this review.

Let me show you pictures of mine when I started using Beauche up to this time. Wala po itong filter dahil di pa uso yung beautify sa samsung cellphone way back then, even on my latest pictures di po ako gumagamit ng filter.
