  "Inasal is owned by Jollibee" - Awudya Nung nakaraan nagdiscuss siya sa'kin ng business plan niya. Nung kumain naman kami sa Mang Inasal ang sabi naman niya ang Jollibee daw ay owned ng Mang Inasal. Although iba daw yung food like chickenjoy and spaghetti, still si Mang Inasal ay part daw ng Jollibee katulad ng Greenwich. I asked her today kung bakit niya nasabi yun, nabasa niya daw yung sign nakalagay yung Jollibee. And there are other members of Jollibee daw. And to validate that, yes Mang Inasal is owned by Jollibee just like Greenwich, Chowking, Mang Inasal, Red Ribbon and many more within PH and outside PH. Meron ding Chinese Resto ang Jollibee na nasa China. That is why JFC or Jollibee Food Corporation is a strong company. Kapag nag-invest ka sa kanila, hindi ka lang basta nag-invest sa Chickenjoy. Anyway, going back sa anak ko. Nakakatuwa na alam niya yun simply by observing. Mana ka kay Mommy, tahimik lang but observing. I know one day, you will do great things....

 Learn the difference between Attachment and Love. Because clearly, those two things are different from each other, but humans are unconsciously considering them as one. Emotions are simply the fulfillment of one's desire - attachments. Self-fulfilling. Self-aggrandizement. Love is an intense feeling of deep affection and does not necessarily have to be reciprocated. This is why people with the same wounds can connect with each other. They simply misunderstood the spark as "Love". In reality, this is just an attachment. The person whom you can connect with has the same wound as yours so you basically know how to fill each other's bucket. On the other hand, to Love is to see yourself from the other person without the opposite. Without the need to satisfy the desire of your ego. When you no longer seek for that person to satisfy your desire and you now see the person as you, that is love. Thus, it is very important to learn how to love yourself, so...

Photo by omar alnahi: This past few months, I've been very distant and observant of people, and their emotions. I'm trying to understand where the suffering of humans is coming from. I received various answers and most of them are because of outside forces. So instead, I ask within. What is it that makes humans suffer? Is it because of fear? Is it because life is indeed unfair? Or is it because of something deeper yet obvious? Today, I woke up with a heavy feeling in my chest. Something from my childhood keeps on flashing on the screen of my memories and of course, I don't like it. I'm practicing unattachment in everything that comes into my life now, but at this moment, the pain in my chest keeps on getting heavier. So I'm aware that I'm doing something wrong with it. Then, I came across one of Aaron Abke's podcasts, entitled "The Pain and Pleasure Paradox". In this podcast, I suddenly realized that what ...

 I felt called to write this article about "Triggers" as this is something society needs to understand better. Have you ever felt sad, mad, frustrated, or any other emotions about a specific post on social media? Do you somehow feel that someone's feeling grateful about their blessings, seems too much for you? Or, do you somehow judge the belief of other people because it is somewhat "scary" for you? Listen. You are triggered. It means that their actions/words/beliefs triggered something within them. This is actually why some post has a note like "Trigger Warning" – it means that a post can make you feel something that is against your perception or will shake something within you (regardless of the topic). When you feel triggered, the person who posted, said, or shared something doesn't mean to make you feel that way. It was YOU who has the right to choose what to feel in a certain situation. This is actually why you wo...

One of my greatest gifts is manifestation. It is not actually a special skill, but it is a “knowing” as to how things work in a physical reality. In Quantum Physics term, it can also be called “Manipulation/Control of Energy”. What is Manifestation ? According to its definition in relation to Law of Attraction, it is the principle that your thoughts, beliefs, feelings, and actions can transform into physical reality through focus and supportive action. Is this an esoteric or demonic belief? No . In fact, this is also what Jesus is trying to teach us from what he said in Mark 9:23 (and is my favorite), “If you can?” said Jesus . “Everything is possible for one who believes.” It is also the same as what is written in the Egyptian Book of the Dead , “All things are possible.. Who you are is limited only by who you think you are.” Going back to my story, before, I am not sure how I even received the things I dreamed of having. Good or bad, I r...

  The purpose of this article is to bring awareness to all parents to be mindful of how they treat their children. I'm writing this not as a parent but as a child who was once not allowed to be herself. Some information from this article may not be in favor of your own beliefs as a parent. I respect that, and I have no intention to change any belief here but to just share mine. You may take whatever resonates with you or you may just leave everything here. Before I start this article, I would like to thank you for your interest in reading this. They always say that being a parent will change your entire perspective in life. That's absolutely true and I can attest to that. Ever wonder why? That's not because you are required to be a better person for your little one. It is because our little one is actually teaching us to be connected with our own authentic selves more than ever. It comes naturally to us because, in reality, our children are actually teachin...
