First Win!

We finally got our first basketball win for this summer's basketball league.  Close ball game.  We won by only 1 point.  Great game!  I hope this continues till the finals! :0)

Who Is The Greatest Of All The Jungle Animals?

There was this tiger that woke up one morning and just felt great. He felt so good, he went out and cornered a small monkey and roared at him, "WHO IS THE MIGHTIEST OF ALL THE JUNGLE ANIMALS?"

And the poor quaking little monkey replied, "You are of course, no one is mightier than you."

A little while later the tiger confronted a deer, and bellowed out, "WHO IS THE GREATEST AND STRONGEST OF ALL THE JUNGLE ANIMALS?"

The deer shook so hard it could barely speak, but managed to stammer, "Oh great tiger, you are by far the mightiest animal in the jungle."

The tiger, being on a roll, swaggered up to an elephant who was quietly munching on some weeds, and roared at the top of his voice: "WHO IS THE MIGHTIEST OF ALL THE ANIMALS IN THE JUNGLE?"

Well, the elephant grabbed the tiger with his trunk, picked him up, slammed him down; picked him up again, and shook him until the tiger was just a blur of orange and black and finally threw him violently into a nearby tree.

The tiger staggered to his feet and looked at the elephant and said, "Man, just because you don't know the answer, you don't have to get so mad.”

I'm Back!

I finally decided to keep this blog up and running!  :0)  I diverted to updating artchee.info but figured I guess it's worth keeping this one.  My first post for 2012 here is all about my goals.  I'll probably add more but here are some:

1.  Clean and paint my room
2.  Get to 170 lbs (I'm currently at 210 lbs)

I'll add more in the coming days.  Have a great weekend everyone!  ;0)

Changing Big Caps to Small Caps

Good morning!  I want to share this to all of you.  I just found out about this today.  Heh.  Have you ever thought of how to change the Upper case letters to lower case?  Usually this happens when you copy paste something but are in upper case form.  You can do this using Microsoft Word.  Just highlight the words, then press Shift + F3.  :0)  Press it one more time and it capitalizes just the first letter of the beginning of the sentences.  That's it.  Just sharing.  :0)

A New Stage in Life

Hello everyone!  Here I am with a new chapter of my life.  I'm now venturing on working at home.  I'm thinking of setting up my own Garage Office or Home Office, however you may want to call it.  :)

With God's help, I hope everything will do well so I can provide better for my family.  Wish me luck! :)

Beautiful Advice from my E-mail

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)
