What "Rachelle" means...
Day of Birth
I thank the Lord my God for blessing me another year. A year that surely will be filled with love and laughter. I'm thankful that I'm still alive, and that He blesses me with wonderful things in my existence. I'm thankful that many people surrounds me and loves me for who I am... that includes my parents, my very own mama & papa; Michael, my life-partner; friends and of course my God, my Jesus, my Lord, my Saviour, my Everything.
The past year has been great. With all the things I experienced. I'm blessed, more than blessed! Last year, I celebrated my day alone. But this time, I'm celebrating it with my love ones... with Michael, later at 10 am and with My parents in the evening. I'll enjoy this day and I'll have a blast for this means greater blessings shall follow me and family.
I pray for good health- for me, my parents and for michael. I pray for wisdom and knowledge for my schooling and in terms of decision making. I pray for strength for our everyday work. I pray for peace of mind which rests my individuality. I pray for love that it may exists in every day of my life. I pray for joy that it may fill my heart. I pray for success and answered prayers that it may boost us to do more. I pray that I may be able to little by little fulfill my mission in life and bless God with all my work, as I offer everything to HIM.
Lord, use me now, I miss serving you. Let this year be mine. Let this year rain with greater blessings upon my family.
I love you, Lord. This is a wonderful day and you're going to do something which will make me happy.

36 CHRISTIAN WAYS TO REDUCE STRESS
An Angel says, "Never borrow from the future. If you worry about what may happen tomorrow and it doesn't happen, you have worried in vain. Even if it does happen, you have to worry twice."
1. Pray
2. Go to bed on time.
3. Get up on time so you can start the day unrushed.
4. Say No to projects that won't fit into your time schedule, or that will compromise your mental health.
5. Delegate tasks to capable others.
6. Simplify and unclutter your life.
7. Less is more. (Although one is often not enough, two are often too many.)
8. Allow extra time to do things and to get to places.
9. Pace yourself. Spread out big changes and difficult projects over time; don't lump the hard things all together.
10. Take one day at a time.
11. Separate worries from concerns. If a situation is a concern, find out what God would have you do and let go of the anxiety. If you can't do anything about a situation, forget it.
12. Live within your budget; don't use credit cards for ordinary purchases.
13. Have backups; an extra car key in your wallet, an extra house key buried in the garden, extra stamps, etc.
14. K.M.S. (Keep Mouth Shut). This single piece of advice can prevent an enormous amount of trouble.
15. Do something for the Kid in You everyday.
16. Carry a Bible with you to read while waiting in line.
17. Get enough rest.
18. Eat right.
19. Get organized so everything has its place.
20. Listen to a tape while driving that can help improve your quality of life.
21. Write down thoughts and inspirations.
22. Every day, find time to be alone.
23. Having problems? Talk to God on the spot. Try to nip small problems in the bud. Don't wait until it's time to go to bed to try and pray.
24. Make friends with Godly people.
25. Keep a folder of favorite scriptures on hand.
26. Remember that the shortest bridge between despair and hope is often a good "Thank you Jesus."
27. Laugh.
28. Laugh some more!
29. Take your work seriously, but not yourself at all.
30. Develop a forgiving attitude (most people are doing the best they can).
31. Be kind to unkind people (they probably need it the most).
32. Sit on your ego.
33. Talk less; listen more.
34. Slow down.
35. Remind yourself that you are not the general manager of the universe.
36 . Every night before bed, think of one thing you're grateful for that you've never been grateful for before.
GOD HAS A WAY OF TURNING THINGS AROUND FOR YOU. "If God is for us, who can be against us?" (Romans 8:31) My instructions were to send this to four people that I wanted God to bless and I picked you. I decided to send it to more than four, because I didn't want to limit my blessings. HOPE YOU DO IT TOO!

Why do men fall out of love?
Taken from an email.
Q: Why do men fall out of love?
"The reasons for falling out of love are layered and overlapping, but nevertheless there are four relationship busters....
*The loss of intimacy,
*The quest for validation,
*The perfection impulse, and
*The fading of attraction." (p.xxv)

Christmas 2007
I had a wonderful Christmas Eve. Prior to that, I just only realized why people would always want it to be Christmas... I just got the drift of why they say, "Sana laging Pasko". why would they wish for that? Here...
Sana laging Pasko... para laging mababait ang mga tao.
Sana laging Pasko... para nag-uumapaw ang mga regalo.
Sana laging Pako... para laging maraming pagkain.
Sana laging Pako... para maraming perang matanggap.
Sana laging Pasko... para hindi traffic.
Sana laging Pasko... para magkakita-kita nag mga magkakaibigan.
Sana laging Pasko... para magkasama-sama ang bawat pamilya.
Sana laging Pasko... para nagkakabati ang magkaka-away.
Sana laging Pasko... para naaalala ng tao si Hesus.
Sana laging Pasko...
My Hone picked me up in the office at around 3pm. We dropped first in SM North to buy the few gifts that he havent bought for her inaanak and lola. Then, we went home. When we got home, I just prepared the things I needed to do and bring as we are supposed to give grocery items to my subject for Case Study last term.
When we arrived in Junior's house. I felt their heart's sadness. I noticed the dining table didn't had any food or drink. There was no one preparing food in the kitchen area for the Christmas Eve... the children were just stunned that we were there. I shook the hands of Junior's father and handed the groceries to Junior as well as my gift to him. Sadly, but it was a dry Christmas for them. My heart wanted to cry that moment, but tears won't fall.. as I needed to show strength for them... and hope... that God is still good in their lives.
I asked my Papa for some coins to be given to the children, I gave Junior's siblings coins and gave all that was left in my Papa's wallet... a fifty peso bill. They were all thankful for that small amount. That moment, I felt the joy in their hearts, I still wnated to burst into tears, but I can't. I still needed to show strength. On my peripheral vision, I saw my Mama, wiping her eyes, touched at the scene she saw. Then, we finally bid goodbye to the whole family and greeted them a very Merry Christmas.
We then left and stopped by a nearby water station. My Hone and I were singing "Days of Christmas" by Disney. Unfortunately, we don't know the entire song, we were only singing up to the 4th day of christmas. Arni and I were laughing so hard on the part when Donald Duck is being imitated by Hone. Sure I'll get a copy of the song's lyrics by tomorrow!
When we finally got home, Hone decided to go to his lola's house first and said he'll just pick us up when their party begins. So I just arranged the things that I needed to do, ate dinner and took my shower. In my mind, I was thinking of wearing my maong skirt.
When Myke picked us up. I wasn't that prepared then, so I wasn't able to bring the gelatin as well that I was supposed to bring and share. Well, it's okay... bawi nalnag ako next time. For sure, I'll be spending Christmases with Myke's family na rin naman for years and years and years...:)
It was fun to be with my Hone's relatives. I really liked the crunchy tofu and its sauce,,, hmmm... yummy! Oh well, I felt accepted by their family and it was great to be with them! Arni was able to collect several twenty-peso bills and gained friends like Mica, Given & Regina.
At aroud 11:10 pm, we went back home. Hone, borrowed Ahia Bhonn's motorcycle. sonner, Hone left. I prepared the foods for our Noche Buena.
The clock striked twelve, It's Christmas, Jesus was born at this very moment thousand of years ago. The Son of God is born... whose called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Ftaher & Prince of Peace.
Our family prayed together. It was lead by my father. We greeted Jesus a very Happy Birthday! Then, we sang a birthday song:) Funny thing was when Maryel woke up that eve and celebrated with us. There were many foods served on the table, it was a great feast. Then, we also had an exchanging ang opening of gifts. After that, I immediately went to my room and slept.
Merry Christmas, everyone!
