Today I was called by the newly appointed President of the Rotary of Cebu - Lahug Division. I wasn't aware yet that she was newly appointed. Initially she explained to me that our friends at the Rotary International had been interested in recruiting us into the Rotary Club of Cebu - Lahug Division. Then she told me about all the wonderful possibilities that the group had to offer and the wonderful things we can contribute if we were members. I had nodded a "yes" on the phone. I agreed to everything she said, until she said that the Rotary wanted to Appoint me as the new Secretary of the Rotary of Lahug. I was taken a back. I had dreamed for a long time to be part of the Rotary Club, but to be appointed as the new secretary was beyond my expectation. It was both wonderful new and scary. I was afraid of the opportunities responsibilities. Secretary isn't an easy job. After I put down the phone and was given time to think, I was beside my self with both happiness and fear. My emotions were so mixed. I know I've been in professional management for quite some time and have been taking a lot of leadership duties in the past in all of my employments, but this was a very big responsibility, it's almost like being part of a political party so to speak. I'll have to dine and associate with the most influential people here in Lahug Area and Cebu in General. It was exciting and the same time heart-rendering. I thought it through and decided that this was an opportunity I could not pass. It was a very good opportunity for me to be trained even more in the field os socio-anthropological affairs. This will be another international society I'll be joining.
I wonder what will happen.
Later this morning will be the training for the new members and officers of the rotary. It's a two day affair and will last for 8 - 10 hours a day. Then we will be put into office by June.
The many opportunities in life are limitless and by the good grace of the Lord we find ourselves in the midst of grace. May the Lord be happy as I take up this new challenge in life. May my actions prove fruitful in the brotherhood of "service above all". May I be an instrument to create works that will inspire people to make more deeds of service to his fellow man! To God be the Glory!

The Money Trail
Life presents us the challenge of one of the greatest inventions of man: "MONEY"
Everyday we live with it, by it and in it. Nothing in this world which is material that money can't buy. Only the intangible things in life are excluded to the rule of money.
And yet even then, sometimes money can get in the way of these intangible things in life. LIfe itself which should be intangible in nature, is greatly affected by money.
Everyday I see people roaming about the streets, taking the elevator, traveling from one part of the country to the other, or across oceans. And the major thing on their mind, is "How do I get to have enough money?"
So how do we get rich? Since I was a kid I've always had what I needed thanks to my parents who took good care of me and were in position in the International Society I grew up in.
But as you age and you start carrying responsibilities, your find it harder in harder in life to keep up with your expenses and financial losses. Your independence hangs on the balance.
Today, I live life understanding that everything you do must be your betterment. And nothing more important is one's financial stability. For without it, we will live by life in much resentment and difficulty.
Who does not eat? Who does not cloth? Who does not need an education? Who does not need shelter? Who does not need to be cared for when sick? And most importantly, when we are older or when we can no longer fend for our selves, how do we live to support our selves? An even more ironic question would be, "What will happen to the people I love and leave when I die?"
All these questions are so subliminal that sometimes we forget that the reason we work so hard are to make sure we don't keep on asking those questions.
The traditional way to get rich is to get an education (no matter how high or low), get a license perhaps, work for the money and try to get rich by ending in a big paying job. Getting your dream career could also be the end part.
And yet some of us or we've known many who have gone the road of a successful career yet after some time, they lose everything.
Many film stats and celebrities, athletes, businessmen and even professionals at some point were earning such a fortune, but after a few months or years it's all gone. They do know where the money trail is. Where did all their money go? Where's the trail? Most of the time we are unaware that the trail is so subtle that we have not been aware that we leave none due carelessness. We dont record, we don't count, we don't plan our money.
But most of these successful never planned to fail when they were there. But what they did was they failed to plan. This is one of the greatest ironies in life. We never plan to fail, we just fail to plan.
Then looking all around my life I realized that everyone else is looking for much more efficient ways to strip me off my acquired wealth. Everyone is planning to get my money from me. Even more so the richer people are the one's after my wealth.
Take the soda companies as an example, they spend millions of dollars in R&D and advertising, carefully planing how to convince you to give them your money. That's where advertising became the greatest tool to corrupt man from being prosperous in life. Everyday you go out of you room or house or car, every where there will be a banner or ad asking you to buy their products. Its so much widespread it becomes so normal. And yet I realized we are hypnotized by the idiot box that we follow everything they say. That's how they plan to take your money.
So in short I realized that we need to have the discipline to save and prevent money from slipping from your hands. We need money, it is precious. So living without it in our modern age will make us scarce from our dream.
After making sure I am convinced that I have a financial responsibility to myself and the people around me, I ask my self how do I get rich? I am not alone and I need to share or provide. This point is so essential and simple that people take the phrase for granted.
soon I'll be releasing the 2 major secrets to getting wealthy the right way. Not through some illegal or fancy way on the net.

When the Past Comes to Haunt
Just when I was about to make my first step ahead, a glimmer from the past pops in my head. The road I'm about to take seems familiar. I'm standing on a pedestal which looks exactly like the one I was standing on when I began my journey many years back. But this time around the feeling was different. Before, I was exhilarated and numbness was due to being overwhelmed with happiness. Today, I stand on the same stepping stone, however the feeling of numbness that fills me is not due to overwhelming happiness, instead, it almost feels as if my stomach is being shoved by a clinched fist. My nerves send chills to my spine. I know what this feeling is. It is very much familiar. Despite the arrogance of the pain, I am forced to stop, feel and accept it. This time though there is big difference, and no matter how familiar the feeling is, this time around I was prepared for it. A gleaming sigh of hope enwraps the chills, giving comfort through the pain. It's sustainable now.
I am about to take my first step. The Chills don't subside, instead they grow even more. Then out of nowhere, my frame starts to fall. Undoubtedly I have fallen down on my knees and sweat begins to flow rigorously from my temples and back. Flashes of familiar pictures fill my head even though I know I stand on a field. What visions have consumed me? I am not to blame, it has taken over and I see not, but its verdict, all pouring without halt like a gushing wound punctured deeply. The flashes continue penetrating into my mind images I dare not look into for fear of indulging my self with feeling I wrought not to feel. My knees feel weak and I tremble inside. My flesh shivers and my hairs stand on end.
Regret has come back to haunt me, as if telling me that I have been ridden the right to take the journey ahead. Black as night and fearful as death, I endure through its miseries one more time and feel its daunting pains. The pictures are gruesome and I try to erase them from my head. I plow through the air, shaking my head as if it could be shaken off. And yet to no avail it has come to accompany me through the arduous journey ahead. It is not to be taken, it is not to leave. Like a shadow it has decided to follow me. And like the shadow, when it gets dark, it haunts me, it taunts me, forever making me see the perils I've made.
I try to stand in the upheaval. And little strength do I have battling it out. I am weak and it has taken the spirit out of me. The wounds it has left has scarred my heart and being as I take my first step on my journey on foot.

Taking a Glance Ahead
Glancing ahead is the start of every journey. One stops and looks at the horizon and tries to fathom at least in a simple manner the track ahead. But where to? The path you are about to take is split into so many smaller isles. The road ahead doesn't seem so clear anymore. The decision must be made though. Time is ticking and the sun is rising above you giving you hint that the day is passing you by without consent. Which path must I take?
The initial move is daunted with uncertainty. Should I take a step back and consult a map? What lies ahead I know not. The uncertainty has created a nostalgic feeling in my guts. Should I think or should just go ahead and pick a lane?
