I really do not know what particular topic to write this time. My mind is wandering and well, I am totally out of myself. I started the day bad and seems like it will remain that way for the rest of the day. I am supposed to attend a lunch gathering earlier but I decided to stay. Honestly, a lot of things are playing on my mind but I am completely disturb.

This is the negative effect when you are overly sensitive. You tend to take things too seriously that it will really affect your mind set as well as your daily goals. Instead of doing the things that you have planned ahead, tendencies are, you could procrastinate. Workbooks are piling on my table this time yet I do not have enough energy to check all of those. I am not only disturbed, I am also totally disoriented.

 

If there's one thing that my life have taught me, that is to to be tough in facing any challenges. Yet, this time I don't even know how to differentiate toughness from hostility. Yes, I am becoming hostile with life nowadays.

There are a lot of different tools you can use to get you where you need to go. You can choose private transportation using your own personal vehicle or, if that isn't an option, you can choose from one of the many different public transportation options. Public transportation includes things like buses, subways, shuttles, and taxis. When choosing between all these different forms of transportation, there are some important benefits to choosing Knoxville taxi cab services to get you around.

Taxis Over Other Public Transportation Options

While there are many benefits to using buses, subways, or shuttles for public transportation, these methods also come with some disadvantages that taxi cabs do not have. For example, taxi cabs offer a level of privacy that is not possible in these other forms of public transportation. On a bus or subway, you have to travel with huge groups of people, but in a taxi you can have a cab all to yourself. This offers you space and privacy that makes it possible for you to make phone calls, check your emails, or handle other personal and private things. In addition, taxis are a much more convenient option than other public transportation methods. With most kinds of public transportation, you have to work around a specific travel schedule, going to designated stops at specific times in order to catch a bus, subway, or shuttle that is heading toward your destination. On the other hand, if you ride in a taxi cab, you can get picked up whenever you need to be picked up; you don’t have to follow a schedule or run to specified pick up points. Also, a taxi will drop you off exactly where you need to go so you don’t have to worry about transporting yourself from a drop-off point to your actual destination. All of these features make taxi transportation much more convenient.

Taxis Over Private Transportation

Taxis also have their own benefits over private transportation. When you use your own vehicle, there are many costs associated with that form of transportation, like maintenance costs, gas, insurance payments, etc. If you use a Knoxvilletaxi cab service, you can save yourself a lot of money by eliminating these kinds of costs.

My Mom asked me if I do have some Christmas decor at home and I said NO. She was surprised and quite dismayed. Well, I just told her the truth. I know I was acting like unmindful at all but really, I am not into decoration and besides, I have no sense of art for that area LOL! When I was still with my Mom, I used to assist her with the decoration but ever since I have my own family, I just can't find ways doing such thing which will surely take much of my time. Honestly, I love the sight of every home that is adorned with Christmas lights and other decors. I remember how my Mom skillfully arranged the Christmas balls on her makeshift Christmas tree. My Mom got an exceptional talent of turning an ordinary thing into an extra-ordinary one.

But Christmas isn't all about decors. Not even Christmas presents. However, we cannot deny the fact that in every Christmas, we always anticipate somebody to give us something during Christmas eve. We cannot also hide the truth that when that somebody failed to give us the anticipated gift, we felt bad. Funny, but it's true. We almost forget the humble beginning of Jesus Christ in the manger. In fact, we totally miss to remember that Christmas season isn't all about us, it's about Him supposedly. Well, one may contradict me by claiming that Jesus Christ was born for all of us, thus Christmas is all about us! Well, that's absolutely true. We are the reason why Jesus Christ was born. But it doesn't mean that we need to get the things that we want nor we need to receive the gifts that we love etc etc. Because His birth is enough gift for all of us. Jesus Christ is enough gift for us to receive. We want the best gift in life? Let's receive Him with all our heart, soul and mind!

As for me, I already received such beautiful gift couple of years ago yet I failed to keep that gift in my heart that is why it is best to keep on reminding ourselves over and over again that Jesus Christ is the best gift we could ever have no more no less. Other gifts are just material things that will be destroyed and soon will be forgotten when the season is over.

Reality check: 2013 is almost over! If I have to assess my life for this year it's going to be quite awesome! Why awesome? It was awesome because God gave me the strength that I need to go on, move on, press on with my life. I am thankful for all those hardships that comes with a great realization. I am thankful as well that I've got such a wonderful Baby Girl! She is five months now, turning six on the 30th. I am thankful to God for her good health and everything about her. I also thanked God for my very energetic baby boy!

What to expect on 2014?

Obviously, everybody wants a good life and I am not an exemption. I really want good life for me and for my family. I am hoping and praying for a better future. I am waiting as well for God's answer to my prayers even though I am not deserving to get heard and be heard, but I know that in 2014, God will fulfill all His promises to me. Amen to that! 

I am also looking forward of reuniting with my dear brother who was gone for 2 years to earn a living in overseas. I am also hoping that Mama will eventually get her visa for US. Hmm lot of things to hope for. Nevertheless, it is God's final say that shall prevail. Amen.

Happy Holiday!

Catching up for BPC 2013 hosted by Just Between You and Us

As I watch Maria Mercedes Filipino series every weeknight in ABS-CBN, I wonder what happened to Thalia complete name: Ariadna Thalia Sodi Miranda,  the Maria Mercedes of the original version. I find her so beautiful and gorgeous and she is a good singer too. I learned that Thalia is not only an actor, she's a music producer, a recording artist, author and philanthropist too! For a beauty, a talent and a brain like her, she's like a complete package to every man. She's now an endorser of Macy's, an international fashion collection.

Well, hopefully she will have another TV series again in the future.

Nelson Mandela

If India had a Mother Theresa, then South Africa had Nelson Mandela too! I know not all of us have known him. Honestly, if not because of the news I've heard, I will never knew that he existed. If US have Abraham Lincoln to fight for the Black American, I am pretty sure that All African are happy to know their hero, Nelson Mandela who made a greater impact to the lives of almost every Africans.

Nelson Mandela are among those individuals who advocates PEACE and not war. No wonder he won the Presidency in Africa during his prime years. The life of this African icon teaches us to seek unity and fight racial discrimination peacefully. Indeed may your soul lead to rest too dear President.
