Why are Filipinos Happy?





Ms. Rei is a Japanese Colleague in the ever growing Online English Teaching. 

She had worked in Cebu, Philippines for the past 4 years and is going back to Japan for her wedding. 

I felt awkward and shy to ask to grace my blogs but I did it anyway. So, blessed to have her for my blogs.


Here is a short excerpt of my interview with Ms. Rei

Chris: How was living in Cebu to you? & What are the things you learn?

Ms. Rei: I realized that Filipino live happily compare to Japanese.
Once I go to Japan, I feel some stress somehow.
but here none stress!
I need to live happily every day!!!!
I don't feel any stress here in the Philippines, that is why I keep always smile!
And also I learned how to enjoy the festival. hahaha
like Sinulog festival, I was amazed.


It was super ultra wonderful!!!! for me, Cebu is my second home hahaha
I really love people here!
Chris: haha, I see, wow, you really had a good experience.

You are booked for greatness!

Am I Already Rich?

Yes, I am rich in essence. I am a child of God and God is rich so I am rich.
I am not here to write about God. But maybe my experience would help others come to encounter God not only in Church but in daily living.

I thought of writing a blog about finances. Talk about how money works and all that involves money.
But I realize I started with God? This is the question that even I ask, "why?"
It is because I am not rich. I am journeying towards becoming rich.

As Bo Sanchez would say, becoming rich starts in the mind.
I am thankful it starts with the mind than with a "money capital".
In that case, it would take time for me to get started.

I don't know if someone would be appreciating this writing but I will write anyway. Like Bo Sanchez who started somewhere. I imagine what people would comment after reading my writing and stories.

I believe in the law of reciprocity. What you do an to others, it will also be done to me. It is wonderful. If I like to receive, I just have to give. Because later someone will do what I had done to someone then I would be on the receiving end. This can be fearful too. Imagine if I go extreme. If I kill, someone dies and somewhere there is that someone who will kill so that I would later be on the receiving end of death. Indeed, Life throws at me what I make out of it.

Sharing my life for almost every day in video had created at impact in my life. I am felt powerful. Powerful in a sense that I can create. But I need to earn and so I often think of what are the services and products that I can offer to my viewers that would both benefit to and my audience.

Since, I don't felt like I don,t have capital to put on a money investment. I thought of using what I have. I have my mind and writing skill. Also, grateful, we have or internet for posting. My writing is not to the perfect as I hope to be. It is far from winning a competition. But, I forget about it. (Forgive me, I beg to disagree about writing perfectly) Also, because my propose is not to share a perfect written story. But simply to share my thoughts and journey.

I believe ever one is on a journey. And in my journey, I get confuse and commit a lot mistakes. I get emotionally sad thinking about myself even self pity. (Oops, why do I have to share this, too emotional) But I guess that is what it is to be a human -- An emotional being apart from being spiritual and physical and all the attribute a human has.

But non the less. I know my destination. The road may be foggy. But at least, the headlight gives me some clear distance to travel. I know step by step I would reach my destination. For as long as I keep on moving.
