The Power of Gratitude and why thanksgiving truly matters

Image
Today I would like to identify the inner values I possess and I realize that the value of Gratitude is not fully practiced. When I say Gratitude, it is an appreciation for people, places, and things. as well as, for ideas, qualities and feelings. The simple act of being thankful for all the blessings from God. If I am going to practice Gratitude then I must value thankfulness, and use it like a key. A key to inspire strangers, my friends A key to life that sets me free A key to heal insult and injury A key to awareness when I refuse to dream A key to finding forgiveness and feeling peace A key to manifest my desires, what I want and who I want to be A key to light the dark times, when I can't see A key to expressing my preferences,what I love, the real me A key to feeling the present moment, gently A key to reconnect me to humility A key to boundless opportunity, When I get caught in my limited certainty A key to transcendence, imagination, and epiphany. A key to tu...

REVIEW : Skin Food's Rose Essence Soft Cream Blusher #2

Image
Have you been looking for a cream based blusher that's in a cute packaging with smelling rose scent? Skin Food's Rose Essence Soft Cream Blusher #2 I'm not really a big fan of makeup and cosmetics because I'm afraid my skin will get harsh chemicals from heavy makeup. So I'm careful in choosing products for my face.  I notice this Skinfood shop at the ground floor of Abreeza every time I passes by going to the Robinsons Supermarket or Human Shop. I went inside and the accommodating staff eagerly offered me products to try. The staff explained their products all natural goodness and made in Korea. [I'm a Korean telenovela addict :-)]                                             ABREEZA BRANCH I ask for assistance in choosing the best product for my skin that is not in powder type (I'm actually used to apply liquid cheek tint) and recommended me this #2...

Image
I had the opportunity to be invited to a "food tasting" at the American Independence Menu set of Vikings Luxury Buffet at SM Lanang Premier Davao and eat like a Viking! It was a pleasant surprise to find all the new feature dishes on the menu were superb, both with taste and presentation. The staff and management of Vikings were enthusiastic about the new menu that would also be offered on weekends lunch and dinner for the whole month of July. Here are the featured dishes on the menu: Pier 39 Clam Chowder We were serve with Pier 39 Clam Chowder which is rich and just delicious. It's a comfort food- warm, creamy, and filling. Chicken Barbeque Salad I personally love this healthy, flavorful salad. Shrimp Popcorn This mouth-popping deep fried prawn morsels are addictive,  especially when dressed with ranch.  Cheese Sticks This cheese sticks is lightly crunchy. Great for snacks and best paired with marinara dressing. I like the Buffalo chicken win...
