Very nice blog my friend, but sad this day, i was not able to go to church for my class starts at 7 and ends 12, then in the afternoon at 1 to 6 in the evening. I felt so very tired, plus so heavy traffic here due to mass goers of Ash Wednesday. I pray to father our dear Lord to forgive me for my body cannot anymore handle extra hours and go home very late.
I am so happy for you.At least we are the same RC and let us not be affected with negative feedback against priests and priests against the people and government.Let us just do our job for it is God we glorify not priests.
-
Thank you @Cely. 🙂
I think if the mall we manage has no chapel, I will not have the patience too, to go to a church teeming with people. I experience vertigo that’s why when I am in the midst of so many people.
Luckily, for 10 years now, I always get to attend the Ash Wednesday mass, because our company would always have a mass said on the chapel and before when we are not in this mall yet for our office, we hire a priest to do the mass in our office.
As for you, don’t worry. You can just pray in the confines of your room with a contrite heart. 🙂

Filipinos have a deep sense of religiosity which they show by attending Sunday Masses or observing religious activities like the Lenten Season.
God has been the center of their lives as expressed in the way they express their religiosity. The God-fearing attitude prevents them from committing negative acts towards other people. Though there are so many religions in our country (Philippines), majority of them are Roman Catholics.

Nice article!
Lately, I have not been as religious as I should have been. Coincidentally, I just submitted a similar topic but more of my not being active than the celebration itself.
It is so nice to know that there are still many Catholics who stick with their beliefs. There maybe flaws in our religion but it will all boil down to one: that we will all return to our Creator, no matter what religion you believe in. Even sinners, like San Dimas, was forgiven by Jesus for he repented and he believed that Jesus is his savior.

That is indeed a very proud moment, very well done. Congratulations to you and your daughter. Even I wanted to be a doctor but I changed my mind lol, and now I am just an accountant.
-
Thank you. We really are indeed proud parents. Especially that she we have raised her to be a God fearing woman.
Oh, please don’t say JUST an accountant. Each of our profession has a different way of contributing to society. Each one is important, to complete the cycle of things in our lives.

Congrats!Very proud of you, for sure. So glad to hear this, a joyful moment. @harpreet singh good to be an accountant too, a good career provided we love our jobs, all jobs are a good job, for sure!
-
Thank you. And we are so happy that after 9 years, we are through with providing for her. She will be soon on her own. 🙂
Yes, I told @HARPREET SINGH , not to say JUST an accountant. Each of our jobs are important to make the society a better place to live in. We all have our own contributions to the world having our different jobs. There is dignity in labor as they say.

God bless your daughter. I’d like to add that it is truly a blessing to everyone when men and women are given the opportunity to study and to become “the best that they can be” at whatever occupation they choose as a life profession.

@Treathyl FOX
Thank you. Indeed, the best wealth that we can give our children is giving them the freedom to choose the best course for themselves and enjoy doing the job for the rest of their lives and show their best on it.

@Michelle
Thank you. Indeed she is a talented one. Maybe she took it from me. Joke , joke , joke
We never expected her to pursue Medicine actually. We though that when he graduated on BS Biology, she will already be contented with it.
But she really has the ambition of being a lawyer actually. But my father a lawyer who eventually became a judge discouraged her because there was a scholarship waiting for her for the science related course so she took BS Biology then pursued Medicine.
At least she also likes so much to be a doctor.

For those who can afford never care about how much to spend. What’s on their mind is happiness and fulfillment of their dream , yet there are practical people that better like to weed simpler and have the most money save to start for a family.
Thanks for sharing this factual happenings in our society this time.Write more , blog more and earn more,lol.
-
Well for the rich, money doesn’t matter indeed, as long as they will be happy with it.
But for those that are on budgets, they really choose to be more practical.
And that’s what me and hubby did when we got married. It was just a simple wedding with just the family, closest relatives, friends and officemates present.
At least we already have appliances in our rented apartment when we went there to start our married lives.
We didn’t regret having the simple wedding. But simple thought it may be , the guests really appreciated the foods that were served. We just added lechon and chicken macaroni salad.

I have gained some weight. And I want to reduce it. Otherwise I think I am doing okay so far.
-
Just be determined in losing them through exercise and some diet and you will also get your former body.
Sometimes, we should just be so determined and forget about being lazy in doing the exercise.
-
-
i love my body so much that i will not want to do anything to change it to please any one. Naturaly every one came with their body size. i dont know why people will want to change their body size to please others. Untill you appreciate yourself, no one will appreciate you.
-
I agree. We have to appreciate what we have and improve them if there is some parts that we don’t like.
I am happy that you love your body. We should indeed love our bodies because they are what God gave us.
Although, if you have the money, if you like a fast way of eliminating fats in your body, you can go for those smart lip, which celebrities do to have a nice body.
I would love to have that too, if I have the money. he he he

I also love my body because it’s what I am. Although I am trying to lose more weight to satisfy my desired body shape.
Loving our own body will enforce us to go with healthy diets and do some workout. It makes us realize how good it is to take care of our body from diseases.
Every now and then, I find time to do exercise because it is one way of loving myself. To be fit.-
That is good to know that you love your body.
Indeed, our bodies may not be perfect though. We just have to learn how to wear clothes that suits our own body type.
And yes, if we love our bodies, we should see to it that it gets the exercise that it needs. Exercise is an anti-aging factor and it helps in strengthening our bodies thus we have a strong immune system.
When we love our bodies, we also love ourselves. 🙂

yes. One should love one’s body as long as we live. There may be some changes that may take place but we should not develop hatred for them as they are all temporary changes. They come and go. They develop and again disappear. But, as true lover of our body how can we allow it in bad shape. This is the point of concern. If we really love our body we should take proper care of it. We should allow only as minimum changes as possible but not the total change in the structure itself.
I love my body that is why I eat what it requires that too in limited quantity. I do exercise properly and keep my stomach always half full. I never give trouble to my digestive system dumping always something or the other. This is what we should generally do. Take care of your skin Apply oil to it and give it a good expose to the sun and the moon. Take your body out and give it a good air.
Take care of your muscles. Give them proper exercise Keep them strong and free from water. Feed them with the adequate amount of fat.
Take care of your bones. Give them sufficient supply of Vitamin D, Calcium and other minerals. Never overburden your digestive system This is always a golden principle.-
Very well said and I absolutely agree with you.
If we truly love our bodies, at any change of the body that is detrimental to our health, we should already do things to make them normal again.
We should take care of our body because doing so would mean we will be having a healthy lifestyle thus live longer.
You amaze me because you really are doing all these things to assure you that you have a healthy body. 🙂

Are you not here in the Philippines? Indeed, the cold weather can make us gain weight because it whets our appetite thus makes us eat more. ha ha ha
Just like you, I am trying to lose some fats and for me, those are in the tummy area.
I just cut down my rice portion and eat apple instead for dinner.
It is nice to hear that you love your body. We should really because it’s the temple of the holy spirit. So we really have to take care of it, so we can live on it longer.
-
I was so happy too, to know that I am still within the normal BMI. I thought I am way above the normal.
I am trying to lose my tummy fat and I do that by just eating an apple for dinner. Although, when I eat the apple I see to it that I am still a bit full from my snacks in the afternoon.
So far, my pants have loosened a bit in the waist.
-
I love my body, i am acutally lucky that i have a fast metabolism because i eat like crazy and some people even think i should be fat. I am actually skinny but with some meat.
I never hated my body, i just adapted to how i looked and love my body no matter what. I don’t do anything to change my form either. I am too lazy for that.
Sometimes i gain more weight and lose weight depending on the seasons but it varies between 5-7 kilos either way, so it doesn’t make a big diference on my appearance.
-
I can’t say I hate my body or that I love it. I have a little bit of weight I want to lose before summertime so I can feel confident in a bikini. I try to maintain a steady weight. But it’s important to appreciate your body and feel content with yourself physically.

I joined yesterday and same with your concerns, I found it hard to navigate the site and edit published posts.Maybe the admin can modify the site to make it user-friendly and be popular.
Yes, it would be nice to have those that I have wished here, especially the notifications bar.
And I forgot, how I wish they have the emoticon board too.
It would be nice if they would take this as a constructive one and maybe think about implementing them too so this site will have more members. Some are deterred by the complex ways here and maybe by the minimum number of words.
Actually the 300 word minimum is not hard for me because even at the other site, I write long post also and I always have to edit it to make short because I know the members there don’t like reading long posts, just like me. ha ha ha
I think the site in it’s current state is navigable. But recent posts and the blogs, and forum updates are not easy to access. I mean if it were all in front page, that would be lot better. Instead of widget such as active members, we could see more recent topics link posted. Then again they have tweaked the website that way. I am sure they have their own reasons.
Yes, of course they have their own reason and style . Though, perhaps they should also try to hear what our suggestions are to make this site user friendly.
That way, even those other people who would come here for the first time, would find it easy to post and be here, and be an active one here.
If there are more active members here always, this site will thrive.
I’m a newbie and just joined today. I have to say that I agree with you. It’s kind of confusing because I don’t even know how to navigate around the site. There seems to be a lot of wishes that you are asking for but would LB be able to fulfill them? I sure hope so because those are interesting points that you raised. And yes, a notification button would definitely be useful.
Actually, what I did is to click all those icons I see and discovered my way around.
Well, I don’t expect them all to be fulfilled, but at least I tried to voice out what I wish for this site to become- popular!
If this site will be so user-friendly, a lot will come here and be a member too. If there will be more active members, interaction will increase thus it will be a joy to be always here.
I don’t actually expect my wished to come true. I just want my wishes heard. Who knows the fairy godmother here will grant some, if not all.
Besides, my wishes are also for the good of the site. 🙂
