My Expectations for the Year 2012

Year 2012 brings forth events that will contribute to the betterment of what is to become the perfection of me.

Every past desires fulfilled, failed attempts, prayers answered, goals achieved and everything that my mind considered as success or failure, good or bad, have, in one way or another, contributed in peeling off layers upon layers of confusion, indecision, doubt, fear, hopelessness and anxiety that have covered my clear vision of my goals in this life.

This year I expect continued great physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health. 

I.  Great Physical Health

I am an omnivorous person and during my growing up years in the province my diet consisted of 80% fruits,vegetables and whole grains  and only 20% meat and processed foods. When I went to college in the city my diet was changed to about 50% fruits, vegetables and whole grains and 50% meat and processed or junk foods. I had the 50-50 diet from my mid-twenties until my mid-thirties.

Though my body was exposed to different kinds of chemically laden foods and polluted environment, my immune system proved to be heavily fortified and was able to withstand onslaught of bacterial, viral and chemical attacks. I have never really been inflicted with any serious physical ailment. As healthy as I am, however, I am not about to be lax in taking care of my physical health specially now that I have been given the knowledge of healthy eating habits. I have already started drinking a glass of water an hour before and after every meal and as much as I can in between. I am also practicing semi-vegetarian diet and minimizing intake of meat and processed or junk food partaking of them only at times when no healthy food alternatives are available.

I am practicing healthy living because there is a big possibility that I will live up to more than a hundred years and I want to still be physically active and able even at that age with all my faculties perfectly intact.

II.  Great emotional health

I am blessed with a very loving and understanding wife. Add to that are my 5 beautiful kids equals happy and wonderful family. My happy and blessed marriage and family life did not happen by accident.My wife and I chose, wanted, intended and decided to have wonderful marriage and happy family. We understand that we are not perfect so we accepted each others limitations and we give extra margin for errors. We are open to each other's opinions and always maintain an open mindset to new principles that come within our consciousness.

We are sometimes confronted with challenging situations but we always maintain a positive outlook and attitude. We have 7 unique individuals in our family with unique wants and preferences specially now that our kids are starting to form their own opinions on many things that cause some misunderstanding, bickering and disagreement among themselves. But at the end of the day, we all come together during bedtime to say our family prayer and do our traditional family hugs and kisses. Despite all our differences, we made sure that we are continuously bound by love and made Jesus Christ the center of our family.

I made it a habit to say "I love you" to my wife and kids at least once a day. It really feels good.

III. Great mental health

I understand and firmly believe that the mind is powerful and and its capabilities are limitless. As Napoleon Hill emphatically said, "Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve." But powerful and sharp as it is, it will become dull and unproductive when not properly and regularly used. This is the reason why I read books, listen to talks, write journals and blogs. I want to keep my mind active and alert. I imagine things, I plan for events and give it as much information and ideas to digest. I want to master and take control of my thoughts. I want to have control on how and what things my ideas will become in the world and materialize into my experience.

I want my mind to keep on creating the things I intended to create.

IV. Great spiritual health

I know that I am a creature of the Divine mind brought into this world for the purpose of experiencing His love and grace and to become a channel of blessings to others as well. Through prayers, meditations and stillness I desire to always be connected to my Creator. This year I want to raise the level of my desire a notch higher and be more consistent with my prayer time and meditation. Attending the Holy Eucharist at least every Sunday is a must. That way, I will always maintain my great connection with my Creator. In addition, I resolve to be more generous, more patient, more understanding, more loving, and to listen more.  I will be a better husband, better father, better person to every one.

Why do I want to be healthy? Because I want to serve longer.

Thank you God for your presence in me.


I expect my ability to manifest financial abundance to be greater this year. 

But even as I write this blog, I'm still in doubt as to when and how my desire of financial abundance will start materializing into my experience. My mind see the material lack and it automatically concludes that sources of financial abundance are really difficult either to create or to come by. But I realized that my past failures were due to my lack of definite plan and purpose. Events, however, that transpired in my life have proven that things happen for a good reason specially those that were not within the my control.

This year my wife and I already have a plan on what financial sources to open. We will reconstruct our present house and build a three-level building with the ground floor consisting of 3 separate units for rent. In addition to our rentals, we will continue to do gigs in oDesk and find businesses that our talents, skills and abilities are well suited for.

We will increase our stock purchases at the same time increase our knowledge on investments by attending conferences and by reading books and materials concerning investments.

Indeed, this year is full of wonderful events. We are ready, eager, able and joyful to welcome them all into our experience.

Why do I want to become financially abundant? Because I want to give more.

"Something good is going to happen to me, this very day, this very week, this very month, this very year. Jesus is blessing my way."

For everything, Lord, we praise, thank and glorify you.

Thank you 2011

We welcomed the year 2011 in Eastwood, Libis where we attended the New Year celebration and bade it farewell in Antipolo, Rizal. 

Many wonderful things happened in my life during the year 2011 that made my heart overflow with gratitude. God's blessings were in abundance filling up and nurturing every aspect of my life to the fullest. It is a fact that I am wallowing in the sea of God's blessings at every moment that my consciousness just take them for granted. For instance, I always have great sleep at night and wake up refreshed every morning for as long as I can remember that my consciousness considers it as given and expected. Or the fact that I always have a healthy mind and body. While it is good to always expect positive things to happen in life, continued occurrence of an event on a daily basis will eventually become inconspicuous to the mind resulting to one's inability to recognize its value and importance, hence, the lack of feeling of gratitude for its occurrence.

In addition to my continued existence which I have always been thankful for, I have also received blessings that were unique and remarkable. Memorable blessings of 2011 started on a high note when I got hired by Bro. Bo Sanchez as one of his contractors. It has opened a source of great financial support for my family at the time when we needed it the most. But the most exciting part of my job are the opportunities to learn lessons of great value from the spiritual and financial mentors, advisers and gurus who give talks during meetings, webinars and conferences of The Truly Rich Club and the Wealth Circle Martermind group of Bro. Bo. The experience gave me the inspiration, desire and expectation that one of these coming days, I, too, will be able to manifest financial abundance and eventually become one of the mentors imparting wisdom, inspiration and solutions to other people who share the desire of expansion. I also had the chance of going to Cebu City on business trip for the purpose of documenting the Natural Healing Method used by Dr. Romy Paredes in effectively curing the illnesses of his patients who were afflicted with life-threatening diseases. The Cebu trip was a wonderful learning experience that inspired me to change some of my eating habits and that of the members of my family in order to obtain and maintain optimum healthy living.

The year 2011 also presented some challenging situations like the hospitalization of our eldest child JJ due to asthma attack. There were also times when we missed due dates for payment of our bills because financial sources seemed limited and constricted. I entertained some doubt as to whether we are teaching our kids enough information commensurate with their capacity to learn in our present set up of unschooling them. But these challenging situation came with it the blessings of far greater magnitude that has transformed the heartbreaking situation to that of feeling of awe, gratitude and appreciation.

All the events that transpired during the past years proved that our lives are moving toward the right direction pursuant to our desires and aspirations. Some difficulties arose from time to time but along with them came the solutions with positive effect far greater than the hurt and anxiety they have caused us. I believe that the situations we considered as problems were actually blessings-in-disguise meant to reorient us to the right path every time we somehow get sidetracked. We are still alive and well, a testament that we are covered by His Grace and insured by His love as He continues to complete the work He began in us. God's love never failed us an It never will.

We received the greatest gift of year 2011 with the birth of our 5th child, Jyl Marjana Jaime. We are now finally complete as a family as we continue to grow, advance and expand in all areas of our lives. 

Thank you very much God the Father, Lord Jesus Christ and The Holy Spirit for all your blessings and everything You are making of us. May your works be done in us, for us and through us.
