Life is good and we have to count our blessings each and every day!!! Not everyone is given a chance to live a lifetime of abundance. So look around you and count your blessings.

This is nowhere close to being narcissistic, however, we have to prioritize the first person in our lives. YOU.<br />
<br />
Read something from the OPRAH magazine the other day and that really motivated me to started looking inside myself and appreciate myself better. "Life is too short for drama and wasted energy for those people who are not even considered an issue in your life."<br />
<br />
Let's enjoy the NOW. That's what we have. <br />
<br />
I am a great person.<br />
<br />
I am a positive being and I attract positivity around me.<br />
<br />
I love myself and take care of myself.<br />
<br />
I am a good daughter.<br />
<br />
I am good wife.<br />
<br />
I am a good mother to my kids.<br />
<br />
I am healthy.<br />
<br />
I am loving.<br />
<br />
I am grateful for all my blessings.<br />
<br />
I attract happiness.<br />
<br />
I attract prosperity.<br />
<br />
I attract good and quality friendships.<br />
<br />
I am valuable.<br />
<br />
I accept and love myself wholly.<br />
<br />
I forgive myself for whatever mistakes I've done in the past, now, and in the future.<br />
<br />
Mind you, you can also create your own personal affirmations and remind yourself of how good you are and change the events of your life. Try it for 30 days straight and see the positive results.<br />
<br />
<br />
Take care. Let go and let God.... <br />

What is it that you really want and why?<br />
<br />
If there's nothing that I worry about then, I still want to become a nurse, have a family of my own, travel the world, have my own business, become a writer and continue to keep pushing and making things happen. For now, I have to count my own blessings and pursue things that I have control with and still be at peace with all the choices that I end up with.<br />

I do have days where I don't know what to do and how to stay positive when it comes to what should I do next especially that I am in my early thirties. I have so many things that I need to achieve that's not being crossed on my list. I just have to focus my energy on making things happen and stay committed to whatever I needed to accomplish.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>It dawned on me that I really have to stay positive for myself and my family and friends. I know that it's easier said than done. However, I have to do it. And I remind myself all the time that no matter how we stay positive in all that we do, there will always be annoying people and naysayers surrounding us. One thing, I learned from all of these experience is that no matter how irritating those pesky people could get into our nerves, I believe that they happen for us. They teach us how to behave as adults and excel in whatever we do and let our light shine. I am just thankful that I have a few treasured people whom I can count on all throughout.<br />

I just recently finished reading the book, Eat, Pray, Love. I must admit, I loved the book compared to the movie. Elizabeth Gilbert, is so spot on, vulnerable, very funny in telling her sad and happy story in her quest for love. I have been thinking of starting to give my energy into writing, again. I just have to renew my passion and commitment to be there and be raw and speak and write from the bottom of my heart and tell my story to the world. So, yes, it is never too late to pursue your dream. We age, yes, but I believe that if you align yourself to being positive and put your energy into something that would somehow know your purpose in this thing called, life. Reading that book really excites me to jumpstart my love for writing. Yes, it is never too late to start something that you really love and want. According to the famous NIKE logo. "Just Do It." You, alone can make that dream come true, whatever it is that you want in your life. Life is sometimes tough. Yes, we all have our ups and downs but it's not how many things we fall but it's how we stand up each time we fall and start again. Shake off the pity parties and pursue what you want. We will never get out of this live alive. Let us might as well do whatever we need to do and learn from our past mistakes.<br />
<br />
I love the fact that I have someone who believes in what I do and what I can achieve. I am grateful. "This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine." "Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine."<br />

Yay! =) Look, how you could see the future of these two little cookies...I salute this kid, he's smart and knew what to do by destroying the evidence about all his escape from his crib. I also love his twin brother who is so nonchalant about his lil bro's agenda. Just watch and have yourself a good laugh! Happy Monday everyone!<br />

I know that it's kinda hard to understand the ever changing evolution of humanity. However, at the end of the day, what's important is we have a lot of massive choices before us. We just have to be sure on what's the right one for us. We can't certainly not please everybody. Screw, the bullies and embrace the beautiful YOU! She is a budding new singer and a youtube sensation. She is the youngest in the world to undergo a sex change.<br />

So, here's my little review about our visit to Calypso Waterpark yesterday. First of all, on a Friday night, I prepared my chocolate cupcakes because I was assigned to bring the desserts. I was multi-tasking that night. Of course, I slept late and had to wake up early the next day. Since Calypso Waterpark is in Ottawa, 75 minutes away from Montreal, I had to set my alarm at 5:30am. Whew!<br />
<br />
Good friends picked me up from my place and we then, headed to our little weekend getaway.<br />
<br />
<b>About the Park</b><br />
Calypso is Canada's biggest theme park. It's located in a 100-acre land and it's just massive and the rides are so gigantic that my head is spinning thinking of just going down from those massive rides and slides. I could even feel my knees shaking and my heart pounding of fear. Definitely, this is one place where you either have to face your fear of heights or chickened out from it. This is a place for young and old and visitors alike. "Humungous state-of-the-art slides, a river run, Canada's largest wave pool, thrilling rides—even a whitewater experience! You won't have time to be bored." It's really BIG!!<br />
<br />
I definitely was in touch with the kid in me. My friends waited a little bit for the park to open and got our space to put our stuff away and food as well and get ready to enjoy the day. It opened at around 10am.<br />
<br />
After lunch, off we go. The first thing we took was this,<br />
<br />
<div class="ride_logo_wrapper"><img alt="" border="0" class="ccm-image-block" height="294" src="http://www.calypsopark.com/files/cache/3df7c9ee5530e35c78c20aabf546a834.jpg" width="400" /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRbFV0JvczhW6ln8slFy2SmwDJhFzS-a5V9kn0J6-Y04aWXESW_L5_TUPb0C6kxSJMirN_DKaHxSbDorcDF363oFdAeyeOwfjuTzllq2v78Dec5Jxm6nNg3xLwrvqBnwrwnCgN9911mZTn/s1600/calypso0027.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRbFV0JvczhW6ln8slFy2SmwDJhFzS-a5V9kn0J6-Y04aWXESW_L5_TUPb0C6kxSJMirN_DKaHxSbDorcDF363oFdAeyeOwfjuTzllq2v78Dec5Jxm6nNg3xLwrvqBnwrwnCgN9911mZTn/s400/calypso0027.jpg" width="400" /></a>We rode the perfect storm with my friends. On a six-person raft, plunge into a dark tunnel before Boomerango shoots you across to the opposite wall, way up to the sky...It was really sick! I screamed like I never screamed before...It was mad. I was sick in my stomach literally. I was so afraid to take the other rides after...Obviously, there was peer pressure, too. But I was glad I did it but I don't think I will do it again. I thought I was brave enough to face my fear of heights, apparently not! I was this close to turn around and go down and just watch them go down but the pressure was on! And then, we went on with Canyon Rafting. We're all in a group and the water was just crazy and splashing on your face and really just twisted!<br />

As a small child I already believed in dreaming big and pursuing it and making things happen. I remembered growing up and really keeping that vision alive in my soul and spirit. For all those who don't know me, I used to write my thoughts in notebooks, diaries and really having that internal conversation with myself and God. I can always picture myself doing things and going places...Sure, I am a country girl and I am super proud of that. However, there's something in my spirit that tells me that I can do more and be more...I am just happy to be surrounded with loving family and friends who supported me all the way. They're there for me when the going gets tough and when I am almost about to give up of a dream. Yes, I am a big rambler! I am proud of that as well. Laughs.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPR-TMLeD-Wh_wTlsxDrOxB2nWHjMU1_hrjxRd0NlvdDvyTl1_CjMTaWxh2WQbYARlfLxmxBMZ1WJ1ZEsWKdQbiqVgoX-erefZWaU5qFqPntcSaZGhR0BNHuJgffK4y7SUG8Yl55a7csB2/s1600/Winter_at_The_Falls.%252C_Niagara_Falls%252C_Canada.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPR-TMLeD-Wh_wTlsxDrOxB2nWHjMU1_hrjxRd0NlvdDvyTl1_CjMTaWxh2WQbYARlfLxmxBMZ1WJ1ZEsWKdQbiqVgoX-erefZWaU5qFqPntcSaZGhR0BNHuJgffK4y7SUG8Yl55a7csB2/s320/Winter_at_The_Falls.%252C_Niagara_Falls%252C_Canada.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
I can ramble all I want but that's not my goal here. Anyways, I have this dream as a child to travel and work abroad. When my parents heard about it while I was growing up, they're opposed to it and would not even support the idea of me being away from them. So, I said, well, since I am not of age yet to decide on what to do with my life, then, I will listen and heed their advice. However, it doesn't mean that I will let go of my dream. People dream but not all are given a chance to live their dream and make it come true. I am just amazed that I was given the rare opportunity to dream and live my dream, literally. Thank God!<br />

I moved to Canada in May 2007 and did the caregiving program with an open heart and a little scared about what lies ahead with this major move. I completely started a life from ground zero. It was very humbling and I've learned so much out of life-being away from my loved ones and friends. The best thing I got out of it was tons of experience and learned the art of becoming a mother without giving birth, cook, bake and experiment on food and I fell in love doing it and skills on how to really take care of an elderly/child with a loving heart. I also learned how to fight for my own rights in a strange land. I find that there are mean people everywhere. If you let them take advantage of you, then, they will chew you and spit you out. Well, I chose my battle now that I am a mature person and still learning everyday.I must say I struggle everyday to fight against loneliness and being homesick. I thank God for my socializing skills and being a people person that I am it wasn't really a problem to blend in to a new environment. <br />

So, technically today, I became a Permanent Resident of Canada! When, the agent from the Federal government said, "Welcome to Canada and congratulations!" I cried some happy tears! I made it! Dreams do come true. Thank God that I didn't gave up on this dream and quit. I don't stop dreaming and still keeping in touch with that child in me. I am so happy and I hope that one day I would be reunited with my family and friends back home and or they could come and visit me here as well. <br />
<br />
Migrating to a foreign country is not that easy but it's my positive attitude that keeps me going. I am also thankful to my supportive friends who became an anchor and family to me whilst I am here--Berge, thank you!!! xoxo<br />
I am also grateful to my aunt who was an instrument of making my dream come true. Bless you. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />
So, to all who can relate to my story, keep on dreaming and follow the desires of your heart. <br />
<br />

Apparently, Lady Gaga saw her video posted on youtube and asked her to have a duet with her in Toronto. She also sang for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. <br />
<br />
Can you imagine, she's just 11 years old and is very mature for her age. In her interview with KC Concepcion on The Buzz, a local showbiz talk show in the Philippines, she said, "I cried when I saw that there are kids in my country who has no food and homeless on the streets and said to herself that she felt blessed and one of the privilege." She's born and raised in Winnepeg, Canada. I was so touched and actually cried watching her on tv. <br />
<br />
Watching her on youtube makes me proud of myself growing up, that yes, I can say that I was also one of the few who can say that, "Dreams do come true." Sometimes people belittle you and underestimate your capacity and talent. However, you can't hide and stop the fire of passion that's burning from within you make a good influence to others along the way. She can be a good example to young kids growing up. Way to go, Maria Aragon! We'll cheer you on! <br />

I have been so busy lately and I felt like I need to go ahead and focus on updating my blog since it's my passion and my way of releasing my tensions of my daily grind of life. Baking is such an amazing thing that I've ever learned ever since I decided to move to Canada for good.<br />

Some of the closest people I know can't believe their eyes that I can actually cook and bake now. Anyways, I was able to check this bakery out when I went to New York last summer. People are waiting in line just to get a taste of these infamous cupcakes featured in the movie, "Sex and the City". When my boyfriend tasted it for the first time, being the critic that he is. He said, "This is the best cupcake I've ever tasted." Nice! It was all I wanted to hear! Music to my ears. So, enjoy and have fun in your kitchen. <br />

Lately, I've been having this interest into maybe going back to school. I am torn between nursing school or culinary. Gosh, I wish I am a little younger so I could go ahead and have a lot of time to really embark on so many different things in my life. If I have enough time in my hands, I do try new things. I recently watch cooking shows on tv and tape them and apply them in my kitchen.<br />
