When I Was 24 (A Throwback and It's Not a Thursday)

-
10 years ago.

My 20s were the craziest and the most exciting years of my life.


The years when I'd throw all caution to the wind and dive in to the challenge.



...when I was reckless and made lots of stupid and crazy mistakes...



...when I found my one true love. Through thick and thin (literally)

There was a certain kind of exhilaration in my 20s. That kind of rush that I somewhat miss. 

I miss the adventure, the drama, the excitement... 

Yet I am happy with the respite...

Ah, I have grown up.

It is time to make new adventures.

Securing an NBI Clearance have always been met with anxiety especially when you hear stories of long lines, irate government service providers, delays, heat, and all the other accounts that would just make wish you don't have to go through it. I applied for my NBI clearance recently and it took me about a whole day. Not because the system was inefficient but because I didn't do my research ahead of time and didn't do things that I should've. Read on for tips to help secure your NBI Clearance easily. 1. Go online and fill up the application form. ( http://clearance.nbi.gov.ph/ ) Provide the information required from you. Make sure that you check that the data you are giving is correct (spellings, date of birth, address, names etc). While it is supposedly mandatory to provide proof of identification such as passport, birth certificate and the like, these are not checked upon application.  In my experience, the officer didn't even make me check if the info

I Have Found Her

-
What I like about life is that you are able to reboot again and again and again. It's all about second chances and rediscovering yourself. It has been a cool Sunday afternoon. A contrast to the usual Sundays that I have been having in the past. The wind was whistling through the trees. The cool breeze rushing through the windows. There was a power interruption so watching TV was not an option. I also received new developments in my work so I decided to spend the time to do some realignments and introspection. I told myself, "Why don't you start writing about rediscovering yourself." It was not meant to be a blog entry. Rather an exercise of looking within and evaluating my journey. My freewriting was entitled "Finding Myself." For those who are curious as to what this entry is all about, don't worry there was nothing much there except an enumeration of my achievements and experiences in the last 20 years from the day I enrolled in college to the

What To do When You are Stressed

I believe David wrote the Psalms at the most stressful moments of his life as a king. He had a daily rendezvous with death. He hid in caves. He saw carnage. His own flesh and blood betrayed him. His wives were captured. He committed adultery and murder at a moment of weakness and we can only assume that it was due to stress. Yet through all this he was called the man after God's own heart. Here are my insights that I'd like to share about stress management: Wisdom #1 When stressed Sleep. Allow God's healing to flow. When we are asleep it gives him time to work because we're not getting in the way. Psalm 3:5-6 I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the Lord sustains me. I will not fear though tens of thousands assail me from every side.  Wisdom #2 When stressed Lie Down. Stress makes us angry, frustrated, impatient. Go to bed lie down on your back. It relieves pressure from your head and rest of the body. Lying down allows you to look up to
