SLOW DOWN THERAPY

1. Slow down; God is still in heaven. You are not responsible for doing it all yourself, right now.

2. Remember a happy, peaceful time in your past. Rest there. Each moment has richness that takes a lifetime to savor.

3. Set your own pace. When someone is pushing you, it’s OK to tell them they’re pushing.

4. Take nothing for granted: watch water flow, the corn grow, the leaves blow, your neighbor mow.

I usually hear the Sunday mass (or watch is the appropriate word?) only through the TV mass aired over at Channel 23 at 9:00am. I watch this TV mass religiously eversince me and the kids went back from Australia last January 2006. I tried bringing the kids to the mass once during our second week here, but with 3 kids in tow I heard more of their whining (aren’t we going home yet?, etc.) rather than the priest’s sermon. Not to mention walking around the aisle and doing some cheeky stuff, and kept on bragging me to leave already so that we could go to Jollibee.

So that following Sunday, I searched the local tv for mass and thank God, I tuned on Channel 23 and got hooked since. My eldest Kaye already knows the time of mass so she would automatically switch the channel. The kids would normally sit there with me on the TV front, hold our hands while singing Our Father and give each other a kiss for peace. The TV mass is held every Sundays, 9:00 am, at the SM Megamall and the celebrating priest is Father Mario Sobrejuanite of the Society of St. Paul (SSP). I encourage you to watch this mass celebration, if for some reasons you can’t attend the regular Sunday mass at the church, and for sure, you will thank me for that. (more…)

Hey, guys! It seems lead content issues are becoming a bigger dilemma. First, children’s toys including those from mattel and thomas the tank engine series (my sons’ favorite, ). Now, I just found this news article from Reuters about lead content in lipsticks. I know most of us would be very much concerned, especially all the pretty ladies out there, since lipstick is one of the things we can’t go without. (more…)
