Today, I am grateful for the chance to practice focusing in the present moment.

I have just recently finished the 21-Day Meditation Experience with Deepak Chopra and Oprah Winfrey. It was an eye-opening and a wonderful experienced. A few weeks after the daily meditation practice, I keep on stumbling on bits and pieces about being present in the now and in the present moment. In that, I am ever grateful to the Universe for constantly reminding me of this.

According to Oprah and Deepak “realizing our true nature as ever-present awareness is how we attain our full human potential and in reclaiming our timeless essence, we release ourselves from the bonds to our past and future. These bonds are what keep us in separation, fear, and suffering. As we step into the here and now, we heal our past and come to the end of suffering.”

If we take eternity to mean timelessness, then eternal life belongs to those who live in the present. ~ Ludwig Wittgenstein

It entails constant practice to be present in the here and now and may we all find the time in our busy lives to silence the drone of day-to-day living, the pressing demands of work, and be present in the now when our children stop us in our tracks to ask the most random or seemingly silly question. It was in this little moments that we learn invaluable things about ourselves and those we love.

What are you thankful for today?

Filipino Bloggers Network Get Together 2017

December 11, 2017 No Comments

We definitely had a blast at last year’s Filipino Bloggers Network Get Together that is why I am highly-anticipating this year’s night of get together and catching up with friends in our group.

Now on its fifth year, the annual Get-Together & Christmas party of the Filipino Bloggers Network (FBN) has become bigger and brighter with more sponsors and partners giving their support to one of the most active blogger group in the country today.

Salu, a popular Filipino restaurant in Quezon City, will be hosting this year’s gathering of bloggers and online influencers on December 12. Another co-main sponsor is SvelT’i, a skin clinic that provides advanced health and beauty services using state of the art technology.

FBN members anticipate the yearly gathering as an opportunity to make new friends and catch up with old pals they have not seen for a while. Representatives of different PR groups and brands will also grace the event to personally thank members of the online community who have supported them in the past years.

FBN currently has almost 2,000 members and continue to expand as it provides a venue for Pinoy bloggers from around the Philippines to interact with other members from different part of the country. Moderating the discussions and posting opportunities from different brands for the group are co-admins Divine RC and Richard Mamuyac. With the support of MetroBuzz led by its admin Lariza Garcia, expect the annual event to be even more fun-filled and exciting in the years to come.

This year’s celebration was supported by the following generous sponsors:

Mornings are suddenly colder as the merriest season of all approaches. If you are a coffee-lover like this mum, then coffee is probably one of your go-to drinks for that perfect Pinoy perk-me-up treat in the morning or to relax and cap off after a busy or stressful day. I guess drinking an extra cup in the afternoon when you are feeling rather sleepy to finish off online tasks or chores is also a regular and familiar scenario in your home. Coffee has, indeed, become a part of our lifestyle and we find it a treat to explore new rich flavors to satisfy our thirst for coffee.

If you are looking for a new and exciting coffee flavor, then you are in for a treat as Great Taste launches its new flavor. With Great Taste Muscovado, we have more reasons to savor another hot cup of coffee as it brings another variant that is sure to capture the Filipino’s penchant for coffee.

Great Taste Muscovado gives a richer and creamier coffee experience as it offers a perfect union of richer coffee and cream flavor, with a sweet hint of Muscovado sugar.

Made from natural sugar cane, the Muscovado sugar has a unique and flavorful taste which makes it a perfect beverage sweetener. And now, Filipinos can savor a delicious cup of bold coffee flavour and smooth creamer, with the right amount of sweetness with Great Taste Muscovado. I personally love its flavor and it has instantly became my coffee of choice.

Taste the new Great with the tapang at tamis combination of Great Taste Muscovado for only P7.00 per sachet. It is now available in leading groceries and supermarkets nationwide.
