It was May 6, 2018 when my first Feast' testimony was published at The Feast Mall Of Asia's bulletin.
The Feast is a weekly prayer gathering of the Light of Jesus Family, a Catholic - Charismatic community.
A Wandering Sheep. That was me. Did I find my way or I was found?
I'm an introvert. So mysterious, boring to be with, always alone, and aloof - these were the common first impression about me. The truth was, I was just afraid to be judged, criticized, and be rejected.
Then I realized that I was afraid of my own shadow. The dark side of me was I easily judge and criticize others. I argues on anything that against my belief. I’m proud and full of pride. Close minded. Have a tough personality. I had trust issues and prefer keeping problems by myself. And because of this, I always been on my own.
I've been attending the Feast since July 2016 - I was always alone. Not until I decided to join the Love Life Retreat (LLR) Batch 22 on March of 2017. That retreat changed a lot of things in me. Particularly my personal, social, and spiritual beliefs.
After the retreat, my facilitator from the LLR, Bro Mark Tejares, invited me to join his Light Group (LG) at Bonifacio Global City (BGC). That time, I had no idea what a LG was.
I was kind of cynical. I thought it was just another venue where I would be offered business opportunities with typical punch line, "open-minded ka ba"? I thought it's another network marketing. So I turned down Bro Mark's invitation twice.
He didn't give up though. On his third invitation, I decided to give it a try.

Get a Push!
Have you been in a situation where you felt like you fell into a river of raging problems?
Your relationship with your family aren't good.
There are setbacks at your work, career or business.
You are financially struggling.
Big companies are after you - electricity, water, mortgage, telephone, tuition fees and more bills due!
The troubles are dragging you down and you are pulling yourself up. You've tried to grasp on anything. And did everything with your all-being to push yourself from the river, but you still can't!
Because there's not enough to hold on to. You lack the ability and resources. You felt alone and helpless but then you still go on with your will. You never gave up until someone came to help!
The help this elephant got from a peer, in the following video, is greater than what some humans would give to another human. This is something we can all learn from.

Is Your Cup Full?
GOD GAVE YOU A LOVE CUP WHEN YOU SERVE.
How is your service and love cup? Puno pa ba o malapit ng maubos?
Here's a fact:
Bilang isang religious servant and fellowship facilitator, expressing our love and service is inevitable. We are called to pour perfume on others, to fill their cup with the gift of ourselves.
Yet many times, we overlook where our drive to serve comes from. Our relationship with ourselves and with our Creator is the basis from which all our relationships are anchored.
How is your service and love cup? Puno pa ba o malapit ng maubos?
Here's a fact:
The state of your love cup determines the state of your service or work.Ika nga ni Ralph Waldo Emerson, "Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops yourself."

10 Tips Na Maaari Mong Gawin To Increase Your Income
Ang kumita ng mas malaki ay ninanais nating lahat. Ngunit ibang usapan na ang maisakatuparan ito. Dahil ang naisin ito ay hindi sapat.
May mga pagkakataon nga sa ating buhay na kinailangan nating mangutang dahil sa kakulangan sa pinansyal o income. At hindi natin ito basta basta mamamalayan na sa panghihiram natin ay makita nalang natin ang ating sarili na lubog na sa utang at hirap ng makaahon upang matustosan pa ang ating buhay pinansyal.
Kung lubog at nasa malalang kalagayan ang iyong buhay pinansyal, wala ka namang ibang pupuntahan kundi ang kasaganahan. May kasabihan ngang: "When you hit rock bottom, you have nowhere to go but up." Ngunit kung patuloy mong daramdamin at kakaawaan ang iyong sarili, aasa sa iba para tustosan ka o maghintay nalang sa kung anong mangyari, you're going to be waiting a long time for positive changes; yon ay kung mangyayari.
Katulad ito ng sa sitwasyong gusto mong magbawas ng timbang o magpapayat. Walang gagawa non para sa'yo. Nasa sa'yo yong pagkain ng tama, pageehersisyo, makatulog ng sapat - it's all up to you!
Isipin mo ito; ano kaya kung tambak na yong mga bills na kailangan mong bayaran at kapos na kapos ang iyong kita o income? Diba nakakastress and you'll feel hopeless kapag ganto ang sitwasyon mo? Ang ganitong financial challenges ay dahil lamang sa kakulangan ng goal at malinaw na pagpaplano sa yong buhay pinansyal.
Ang pinakang sanhi nito ay dahil sa sarili rin nating paniniwala at takot na makontrol tayo ng salapi. Marami sa ating kababayan ay itinuturin na masama o mali ang magnais ng pera at kayamanan; dahil tingin nila dito ay isa itong kasakiman o pagka-ganid. Sa kanila, demonyo ang pera. Ngunit ang paniniwalang ito ay isa rin sa nagiging balakid upang makamit natin ang nais natin na kumita ng mas malaki at makamit ang financial freedom.
Financial freedom is more than having plenty of money. It is rather the freedom of being in control of your fears over the power of money and using that control to get what you really want in your life.
Ngayon, ano nga ba kailangan mo upang mapalaki o madagdagan ang iyong income?

Bakit Natin Kailangang Yumaman?
May kakilala ka bang ayaw yumaman?
Yong nais magtrabaho habang buhay?
At yong kuntento na sa buhay na makakain lang ng tatlong beses sa isang araw?
Marahil, halos lahat naman ay nais yumaman, makapag retiro ng maaga, maraming oras sa pamilya, makarating sa iba't ibang lugar at makatikim ng mga masasarap na putahe.
Ganun pa man, may mga iilang tao ring ayaw yumaman. Sila yung mga taong ang tingin sa mga mayayaman ay mapanlamang, ganid, at mapang-alipusta. O marahil, tulad ko dati na may paniniwalang mas mapalad at mas malapit ka sa Panginoon kung dukha o mahirap ka.
Sa kabila nito, bakit nga ba natin kailangang yumaman?
"Ito ay medyo mahirap na sagutin, kaya sagutin muna natin ang mga mas madadaling tanong:

Bakit Lagi Kang Walang Pera?
Lagi mo bang naririnig ang salitang ito, "Wala akong pera."
Maraming lohika kung bakit tila naging ekspresyon na ito ng maraming tao. Maaring wala talaga silang pera o nagpapalusot lang.
Pero ang pinagtataka ko, bakit ba tila karamihan ng tao ay lagi nalang walang pera kahit na malaki naman ang kinikita nila?
Narito ang ilang malimit na dahilan ng mga kagaya kong manggagawa, above minimum wager, pero tila sapat o kulang ang kinikita...
"Seryoso ka? Wala kang pera? Yang lifestyle mong yan wala kang pera? Pero 'pag-gimik at inuman may pera ka. Tapos pag may bagong labas na gadget bigla kang nakakabili. May paista-starbucks ka pa wala ka naman palang pera!!!"LOL! Kapag hindi ka dinagukan ng kausap mo kapag sinabi mo yan.
