March 8, 2013 was International Women's Day. I have been receiving newsletters from World Food Programme. If you advocate for or support fighting hunger worldwide, please do take time to visit the site. They work doubly hard when countries are affected by calamities or even war, when food security is compromised. WFP Philippines calls for donations when parts of the country were hit by typhoons. For International Women's Day, WFP shared these 10 facts about women and hunger. It's sad to … [Read more...]
Empowered Princesses, Cymplified!
This video brought tears to my eyes. I don't know why! Post by Everyone Matters. It may be because I love Disney princesses, that's why Elle likes them, too. I don't think princesses are girls who are spoiled and bossy. I think they are girls with substance; especially love, kindness and gentleness. There's a reason or two they are loved by their people, and I don't think it's because of their pretty faces. For me, girls with good hearts and good manners are considered … [Read more...]

God’s Character, Cymplified!
What traits of God assure you the most? What promises of His attributes do you hold on to the tightest? Do you find comfort in God's character? According to Joyce Meyer, 1. Justice: God is a God of justice. That word justice is so awesome because it means that He will always make anything that's wrong right. This helps me to not worry when I am mistreated because I know God will bring justice. It's who He is. 2. Goodness: God is good, this fact never changes. And He's good all the time, … [Read more...]
Animal Rescue, Cymplified!
I like animals; especially pet animals like dogs, cats and rabbits, and I also like lions and panda bears. I wish I could hug them. I really hate it when some people are cruel to animals. Stopping animal cruelty, feeding and giving shelter to animals are two of the causes I support. Before I got married and had children, my dream was to build a mansion for stray dogs and cats. I know that dream is not yet possible, and I have to find out if my hubby agrees with it, too. It might … [Read more...]
Uncovering God’s Word, Cymplified!
My word for this year is shine. One way I want to shine is to read the Bible each day to fuel me to be a better follower of Jesus Christ. How could I shine and reflect Jesus if I don't read and apply God's Word, my guidance, to my life? I am thankful to Pastor @RickWarren for sharing this application I could use to subscribe to devotionals that would encourage me to read the Bible every day. This app is called the YouVersion. It has a myriad of Bible translations and languages. It allows me to … [Read more...]
Dealing With Frustration, Cymplified!
I am no stranger to frustration. I am learning to deal with frustration every day. Looking at my supposedly working desk and seeing the clutter frustrates me. Not being able to bring my children to run and play in parks frustrates me. Dreams unfulfilled frustrate me. How do you deal with frustration? “Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion. I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning do to do afterward.” ― Kurt Vonnegut “Am I ever angry or frustrated? I … [Read more...]
