Cebu: (just my personal observation/opinion and I have nothing
against with "Cebu folks" or any of its geographical and cultural
diversity in general).. hehehe... hmmmm, Di ko napuntahan ung mga
famous tourist spots talaga nila (medyo malalayo at goodluck sa mga
taxi fares nila, mauubos pera sa kata-taxi... hahaha), kahit man lang
madaanan wala talaga akong nakitang kilala at magagandang spots...
hehehe... nakapunta ako sa Ayala Center (Cafe Laguna) pero gabi na un
kasi Fellowship Night namin doon ang venue, pero generally di ko
masasabing mababalikan ko ang Cebu in the future... hehehe... typical
city lang pala ang Cebu, traffic na parang Manila din, ang hirap din
kausapin mga ibang tao, hirap i-approach, tinatagalog na nga, ayaw pang
sumagot, napipilipit ata dila nila na mag tagalog, ayaw naman daw
magsalita ng English (Ano ba yun!... hahaha)... hehehehe...
Well, nag enjoy naman ako talaga sa kakakain ng Lechon Cebu, sa
Zubu Chon (sa One Mango Avenue), mga Big Ribs menu sa Casa Verde and the
Chicharon Cebu (yummm) at mga pagkain sa mga Restos sa Waterfront
Hotel, the best din! I enjoyed my stay in Cebu and I guess, in the
near future, kung makakabalik, sakto lang, pag hindi, ok lang din!
Thankful pa rin I get to visit Cebu and be able to organize a big event
there! Thank you Lord for the opportunity. Cheers!!!

Daily Hope: You Don't Have to Please Everybody
You Don't Have to Please Everybody
by Rick Warren
“It is dangerous to be concerned with what others think of you.” (Proverbs 29:25a TEV)
If you constantly worry about what other people think, then you’re caught in an emotional trap. You don't have to please everybody any more than you can please everybody. It's a myth to think that in order to be happy, you must be liked and approved of by everyone you meet. It's just not true.
Even God can't please everybody, and only a fool would try to do what even God can't do. Jesus said he only focused on pleasing God (John 8:29).
So how do you handle hard-to-please people? One thing you don't do is cave in. Just because you're a Christian doesn't mean you're supposed to submit and let others manipulate you. Romans 12:2 says, "Don't let the world around you squeeze you into its own mold" (Phillips).
The truth is, no one can pressure you without your permission. If you feel pressured by someone, you're allowing yourself to feel pressured by that person. If you feel controlled or manipulated, you're allowing yourself to be controlled or manipulated.
You don't have to do that! It's OK to stand up for what's right. It's OK to be assertive. Many Christians are afraid to speak up. Many think it's more spiritual to just be quiet and put up with it all. But God doesn't expect you to be a doormat — and he didn't make you to be a wimp.

This is so sweet...
Just An excerpt from online file ...
NARANASAN NIYO NA BA♥?
Yung magising sa umaga na katabi ang taong mahal mo? Habang siya mahimbing pang natutulog? Tapos ikaw nakatitig lang sa kanya at pinagmamasdan ang mukha niya, na nakanganga, humihilik, at gulo-gulo ang buhok?
Alam mo yung pakiramdam na mapapangiti ka nalang dahil nakikita mo siyang ganun ang itchura, pero ni-minsan hindi yun naging hadlang sayo para magbago yung pagmamahal mo sa kanya. Dahil yung pagiging natural niya sa sarili niya eh isa sa mga dahilan kung bakit mas lumalalim lalo yung pagtingin mo dun sa taong mahal mo.
Kaya imbis na ngiting-nakakaloko ang mangyayari dahil nakikita mo siyang tulo laway, ang lakas humilik, buhaghag na ang buhok. Mas umaangat pa din talaga yung ngiting-nakakainlove, kasi alam mo sa sarili mo na talagang mahal mo kung sino talaga SIYA...
