I Know e.How

Having been an internet enthusiast for more than just a couple of months is like touring the world and seeing so many things that most of the time I get overwhelmed. So many good websites have come my way but I would say that the one i feel i am so lucky to have met is the eHow (How to do just about everything) site .

I remember my husband advised me that if i have some questions regarding the Internet, I will just have to type that question and Google it. Well , when I upgraded my browser to Internet Explorer 7 I have experienced a handful of problems with my computer. So I did what my husband told me to do and that's when I get to see and meet this great website.

eHow.com have just all the answers to everything. You can ask anything , from how to eliminate mosquitoes to how to clean up the cookies in your computer. I swear, I do not have any single visit to the Internet without going to this site. They are very helpful and they even offer to pay somebody for an article about how to do just anything. I am not lucky though. I can't qualify because I do not live in the United States.

So if you have any questions, may it be about computers, health, career, family etc. Spare your self from having to ask someone, be resourceful. Check it out and have a look at this wonderful site. You might just feel grateful like me afterwards. I feel like a "fan" of them already... more power to the people behind eHow.

GOD Listens

I believe that praying is really talking to God. And just like when we are talking in an ordinary way, God listens and talk back to us through the many events and circumstances in our daily life.

Just this morning inside the church I was praying hard to God for something bothering me these past days. My husband have not communicated for almost a week now and it's starting to worry me. We are miles away from each other since he work overseas. We used to communicate everyday through the Internet because this is the cheapest way to go. But just last week he told me he will have his laptop repaired and so he will not be online for a few days. Well, it really made me sad but i understand , anyway there are really other ways to communicate for a time being, like the mobile phone. I am not used to not having heard any news from him everyday and so that few days being out of touch with him was really something to me. Call it weird or ridiculous but I was really beginning to panic and worry .It's almost a week now since our last chat and got no news from him yet. I tried calling his mobile but it seems there is also a problem too because I really cannot get through as well. Call it paranoia, but I am contemplating of calling his office to check if he is okay. My mind is fighting over the idea of calling his office or not. Why can't I just wait for a few days more, maybe he is ok and that the laptop was still unavailable, maybe I'm just missing him a lot. But then again I can't help myself not to worry. And so , in the Holy Mass I really lifted my anxieties and worries to Jesus. When I received him in the Holy Eucharist, I told him that I believe He can touch my husband and make him communicate with me today . I went home after the mass holding my faith in God, that He did listened and heard my prayers to Him in the church.

When I reached home, I went straight to my computer and open my Yahoo Messenger which I always do everyday. It's kind of a routine for me. When the Offline Message Box popped up I got really excited. And lo and behold !!!! I am looking at my husbands' offline messages for me. God indeed listened and heard well my prayers . He did answered it right away. I can only feel joy and happiness. Nothing can beat God's faithfulness to those who seek Him first. Truly there are little miracles that happens in our life everyday , we only have to be more aware of God's presence in us.

God is the Giver of everything we have, all that is precious to us are His gifts to us. He is the source of all things that is good. And so it is just right that He should be The One we go to if we need to do something or have problem with anything. Life is not always what we want it to be but knowing that there is God to call upon for help and guidance...everything will follow.

"Seek yeh first the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness. And all this things shall be added unto you....Allelu Alleluia!!!" I remember singing this song when I was still in school. And I can hear myself singing it once again...now... but this time more meaningfully.

My Seven Year Old Classmate

I never imagine I am going back to grade 2 all over again. Ever since I quit my job to be a full time mother to my seven year old son, I never really expected how challenging this would be to me. I decided to transfer my son to a school nearer to our house for it's many advantages. No need to pay for the school service, my son will be more relaxed as he will not wake up that early to be picked up first by his school service, and lastly his school now is the same school i used to go to in my elementary and high school days. It was twenty three years ago and it's amazing i have met again some of my teachers who are still working there. Some still teach there but others are holding high positions now. I was not that popular during my school years there but I would say I have established a good reputation and relationship with my teachers. So it's like going back home for me, but it's not the same for my son. Since he is a transferee, he is experiencing major adjustments like having new teachers, new classmates, no friends, new rules, new everything.
And so , I have to help him by guiding him in this process. Everyday I play the role of his "old" classmate just to help him overcome the anxiety he feels in school. One time, he just told me he doesn't want to go to school anymore, he said he have just one friend there and nobody really like him even his teachers. He said he can't see any support from the teachers and they let him write and write the whole time and even though he hasn't finished copying what was written on the board, the teacher care no less and erase everything on the board. I really feel for my son when he was saying it all. And so I tried my best to psyche him and encourage him some more. I made him feel that he is not really alone, that I will always be there for him to help him and listen to him. Everyday, we do the home works, projects and review lessons at home. I would say that children now adays don't have time to enjoy because of the pressures in school. I hope that I can be a reliable classmate of my son until he finally become adjusted as the new kid in his class and I hope that one day he will tell me he found his second home ...in his new school.

Manny "pacman" Pacquiao a Filipino fighter and hero

Some heroes do not come in the form of a warriors of sort. In the Philippines , and in the field of sports, there is an extra ordinary man named Manny Paquiao whom i would consider a modern day hero and inspiration to many Filipinos. He is the greatest boxer of the Philippines for me. I am not a boxing enthusiast but Manny Paquiao has that God given charisma and qualities that makes him somebody to watch whenever he fights, especially for a World Title. I used to work in the Hotel where he stays after his fight and admire his humility and candidness. He is a gentleman, strong spirited and humble person. He has developed into a world class boxer and at the same time a more God centered person who cares not only for his family but for his fellow Flipinos as well. He has arrived today in the country being the 1st Asian to win 4 World Titles in a row. We are just happy to see him in his recent victory. We are proud of him. Would you believe that our crime rate is zero whenever he has a fight? Believe it! It is really true....the Filipino Nation glued on TVs and radios are always united and praying for his victory... Truly heroes come in many forms. I am proud that I have seen one in the person of Manny "PACMAN" Paquiao !

Manny, I have not met you in person yet but I want you to know that we are happy we have you in the Philippines...always keep your humility and God will continue to bless you. More power!
