Manage your Emotions

 Manage Your Emotions


We've all been there before. You're having a bad day, or maybe you got into an argument with a loved one. Whatever the reason, you're feeling angry. And when you're feeling angry, it's easy to lash out. To say or do things you don't mean.


But what does the Bible say about anger? In Proverbs 16:32, it says "Do not be quick to anger, for anger lodges in the heart of a fool." So what does that mean for us?


Basically, the Bible is telling us to be careful with our anger. That it's easy to let anger take control of us, and when that happens, we can make foolish decisions.


So how do we avoid that? How do we keep our anger in check?


Here are a few tips:


  • - Take a step back and take a deep breath. This will help you to calm down and to think more clearly. 

  • - Remember that everyone makes mistakes. We're all human, and we all have our moments. Don't be too hard on yourself or on others. 

  • - Focus on the positive. It's easy to get caught up in negative thinking, but if you focus on the good things in your life, it will help to balance out the bad. 

  • - Talk to someone. If you're feeling angry, talk to a friend or family member. They can help you to see things from a different perspective.


The bottom line is, we all get angry sometimes. But it's important to learn how to control our anger. Because when we don't, it can lead to problems in our relationships and in our lives.

The Love I Know

The love I know is unconditional
The love I know cares resoundingly
Everyone eats keeping the others in mind
A portion is always left for those who haven't eaten yet.

The love I know is encompassing
You would know that you are not just welcome,
But that you are part of it
That you have been embraced in the circle

The love I know thrives in growth
No one should settle for mediocrity
It gives tough love if it has to
Just so you push yourself to become better

The love I know has abundance
Not of material things but of emotional support
You are heard even before you ask
You are listened to even in your silence

The love I know is unreserved
It goes out of its way to tell you that you are loved
It goes out of its way to take action
It goes out of its way despite the distance, despite the circumstance

The love I know is overflowing
You can't question it because you know it's never less
The love I know is forgiving
It takes genuine care of you despite your mistakes

The love I know is not shy
Because it fears no rejection
No room for embarrassment
For it knows it is true

Others have their own version of love that for them is enough
But when you've felt the love I know
You'll understand why it can't be unseen
Can you ever settle for something that's less?

I believe people are capable of the love I know
There might even be other love that's greater
If there is, show me and I'll embrace it
For we shouldn't settle for less just because it is what we've come to know. 
The love I know is what I will uphold with closed eyes and tears.

Birthday Blog!



Today, I turn 35. I remember 5 years ago, I said to myself that I will be at my fittest body (complete with abs) when I turn 35. Here I am, at my healthiest state of mind and heart with no abs! Who am I to complain? God blesses us with what we need and what we deserve. With all the sweets and salts, I have no heavy heart but just a stronger determination to make the lifestyle change today.

Looking back at the past 34 years, I have come to appreciate more of the experiences I got and the people I have met.

My students and co-teachers gave me one of the wacky memories of my early working years. I wish I could still spend a lot more time with them but life is full of roads that each of us have to be in. I just hope that someday, those roads would meet again so we can laugh about the craziness of their youth and my youth as well (I was young then too!).

My Cebu Comeback for the year

My 2018 started with so much blessings. I got to go back to Cebu last January twice! It was both for work and pleasure. I thought I wouldn't be able to spend my hubby's birthday but he flew to Cebu and we had a memorable trip!


Here's the summary of my 2 week trip to Cebu!

The Sunday Currently #02

Cookies
This week has been so busy that I wasn't able to accomplish a lot of house chores. The week was spent writing the course I have to finish, dance and singing practices for a friend's 60th surprise birthday, and all about our broken and new refrigerator.

 The weekend was a terrible cheat day for me!
