#RelationshipGoals
Social media has highlighted many #RelationshipGoals photos and videos. In a recent blogpost from one of the bloggers I follow – Kryz on ThirstyThoughts , she wrote an open letter to the millennials… inside that blogpost are beautiful photos of her, but then what happens behind the scene is something not many know. . . which makes a superficial/shallow #hashtags of #WhateverGoals! In this blog post, I have asked some friends of what are their #RelationshipGoals (in all aspects) many have seen it but only 2 brave souls were keen enough to give me a respond. So here are 3 #relationshipgoals + explainations (I have added mine too.) Read on! #1.…

Another 8! – My Blogging Journey so far . . .
My Blogging Journey so far . . . If not because of LinkedIn, I won’t remember that during this month (November) in 2008 right before I arrived in Abu Dhabi – I have started my little steps to the world of blogging. . . . It has been 8 years! . . . To date, I still enjoy doing so. Five (5) years ago I dreamt of having my own website during our SFL DISCOVERY WEEKEND – 2011 activity. I wished to use www.beinspired.com – but it has been taken already. This year I come to realize that it culminates that five (5) year plan we had in one of…

SFL Love Forum 2016 – My Take Home
SFL Love Forum 2016 Backdrop and the 111 SFL attendees It’s my 4th SFL Love Forum in my 7 years of community life. To many – they might say “ay tapos na ako so di na ako aattend”. But what I realized, attending the sessions/talks over and over again allows you to gain more ideas, teachings, lessons etc. · At first, I was a participant, · second I was a service team, · third I was a guest, · And on my 4th time, just this Friday – I became a speaker. What’s common among all 4 is that I keep myself interested…

Book Review : Tuesdays with Morrie
Photo taken from the shelves of Abu Dhabi Mall’s book store :) Among many writers, Mitch Albom is one of my favorite! My first ever book review published in Zee – Cebu’s Lifestyle Magazine was another book of him entitled For One More Day. This one is the second book I get to read from this brilliant author! “TUESDAYS with MORRIE“. From the title alone, it gives you an impression of a regular meeting (on Tuesdays) with a person named Morrie. What is the compelling story behind these Tuesdays will make you re-think about how to approach life. Many would say that “Tuesdays with Morrie” (TWM) is a dying…

8 Years in Abu Dhabi
This is a quick post on how time passes by. My Facebook newsfeed today, 12th October 2016 showed a 7 year photo of me being home in the Philippines. That was my first “OFW Balik-bayan moment” after a year of being in the world’s richest city! Those years seemed to pass in just a click. A lot have changed, few remained the same and one thing has been constant. Changes – Aspects in life such as physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, psychological and more. Remained – Family (also constant), Friends (true one stays), the same JM or BJ that left Cebu in Sept 2008 etc. Constant –…
