As I have written on an earlier post.

So this was my weekend getaway. It's not as fancy as watching a movie, swimming on the beach or going out for a vacation. But It's as happy and fullfilling as it could be. Spent my weekend doing outreach and sharing love for both the kids and the elderly alike.

Saturday at the He cares foundation. Sunday at Anawim. What else could you ask for. A weekend full of loving, caring and sharing. I'm just glad I could be of help to those who are in need.

As the week ended, some thoughts strucked me. I don't where it came from, must have been brought up from a conversation with a friend. Or was it something I've read. I can't really remember but the thing is it made an impression. It's not as disturbing but somehow it was of something of a concern for me. So I gave myself some time to ponder about such things.

The question was, Why do I serve, care, help others, esp. the poor/needy?  There were plenty of ideas, answers running inside my head. Is it because it's your calling, making the most out of your time doing good deeds, helping them and expressing the love of God. Am I just practicing what I've learned in church and doing my moral obligations to them. Or was I subconsciously seeking approval or I just felt that my sense for usefullness is tingling. Am I missing something? Did I feel like I needed loving the way they are needing it too? So many questions, I just had to slow down and take a look inside me. What is it that makes me do such things?

It's a process. I am constantly seeking answers to those questions, but with His guidance I know I should be able to find what I am looking for. And because of this I've realized some things. One thing is that you love someone, not because you want them to love you too but rather you love them simply because you found no reason not to. And another is I learned to give not because I have many, but I give because I know the feeling of having nothing.

I hope more good realizations comes as I go deeper and get to know myself better. =)

And it was awesome! Yeah. Planetshakers rocks.

Rewarded myself with the concert.

Definite a night of worship. A great way to end the day.

Could have been better.. If only she was there with me..

I want to share more but I guess I'm out of words.

Thank God for all the blessings.

Got any idea what the numbers are for? Well, if you are a mathematician, or good with statistics, then probably you know that these number stands for one's chance of winning the lottery.

I haven't got the slightest idea what came up to me today. Just remembered a conversation with a friend regarding these chances or probabilities and being able to compare with them certain situations. Winning the lottery is pretty much impossible I say,  that is if you haven't even tried to bet even once. So the thing is if you bought a lottery ticket once you still have a hope of winning, even if the chances are 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000001
(never mind the numbers I was just exagerating)

Lucky are the winners for their lives have been changed drastically. And if they were able to manage the large sum of blessing in a good way. Regret for those who went happy go lucky and didn't made the most out of their blessings, easy come easy go.

Come to think of it, given the chance that you would win the lottery? What are you going to do? 100+ million can do so much these days, yet I was thinking a little less than 30M would suffice. Some wouldn't agree as they say "mangangarap ka nalang e di lubus lubusin mo na."

So, here's my list.

-donate half of the winnings to a foundation/church/community/help others.
-give some for my family, parents and silblings.
-invest on real state,stock markets and stuffs.
-give some for the relatives, more to the important ones who are close to me, who cared and loved me =).
-buy me a home here in the city. Just a home, no need for cars and fancy stuffs.
-set aside a good amount for the education of my children.
-set aside a fair amount for emergency purposes.
-open up a business, probably food catering one or anything that is related with food XD

I guess that's about it. I may have missed some other things but I guess that's all that I could think of for the moment. How I wish I am that lucky to win the lottery, but I know for a fact that it's better to have earned that money through hard work and dedication.

Something slipped to mind, I know this two things are different, but i just have to ask, what is the chance that you'll find the one, that one? will it be greater than winning the lottery,  well i guess it depends on you..

Thought it was a scam. I was going to have my dose of sleep from a tiring night shift yesterday when my phone rang and someone introduced herself as an employee of astoria hotel. She says I'm getting a free lunch buffet for two and a complimentary gift certificate because I one of the lucky chosen ones from a raffle I signed up at the eco park where we had out team building activity for the kids ministry.

Well, I just couldn't believe it. I know I signed that piece of paper but It was too good to be true. I thought to myself, was it just a coincidence or luck that I was drawn or they chose me because of my work. (They probably think that my job is a high paying one. haha. Indeed it is, if I were abroad. XD)

I was hesitating if I should go or not but I decided to go. I extended my leave saying to my boss that my body clock have not normalized yet from the recent night shift. I invited a friend out for that lunch saying that i got this call for a free lunch buffet and that if it wasn't true then I'd still treat her out for lunch. So we went to astoria hotel, ortigas and this is what I got..

So there you have it, a free accomodation from either one from the 5 destinations. The offers last for 6 months and is good for two. Yeah! This is such a wonderful blessing. Though I asked why now? I just don't know the answer. Well I did want to have a vacation, and now that I have the place to stay. I moving on the next things to do. Get myself a passport, plane tickets and someone who'd join me for the trip.
