John 20: 1 - 2, 11 - 18


1 Now on the first day of the week Mary Mag'dalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb. 

2 So she ran, and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, "They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him." 

11 But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb, and as she wept she stooped to look into the tomb; 

12 and she saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had lain, one at the head and one at the feet.

all demons and to cure diseases

and he sent them out to preach the kingdom of God and to heal.

	1 That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat beside the sea.

10 Ways To Happiness (Part 2)

Good day to everyone, I will now be posting the other five ways on how I make myself happy. This is a continuation to the post i made yesterday. By the way, I was really surprised with the number of views I had on that post, thank you very much for everyone who have viewed my post. I guess there are a lot of us who wanted to be happy everyday. Maybe we are really made to look for things that can make use happy. I do  hope you find a reason to smile and be happy at this moment. Just leave your comments, it would really be appreciated.

Here are the top 5 ways for someone to be happy base on my own idea.

5. Live a simple life – Those who live a simple life are the ones who are very happy and have less encounters with stress. Living a simple life doesn’t mean that you will not anymore work, or you are free to loiter around during class hours. What I mean is be simple with what you want to have. There are people who are really expecting so many material things in life and just end up being disappointed. When something is given to you by God, keep it no matter how small it is. A simple life means a healthier and happier life.





4. Do some cooking with friends or your special someone – In my own experience; cooking is one of the happiest times with my best friend. We do share a lot of ideas on how to cook something. We always enjoy the things that we do when we cook. I really could not explain why but when we cook, our friendship get stronger. Try also doing it with your special someone, it a good way to have quality time without spending that much. In our case, we do always look for things that we can enjoy together without spending that much since I will be studying my degree course and we are saving our money for it.

Chin Up, Bright Days Ahead

When we had our walk in the streets of Davao last week, one of the things that caught my attention is the vandalized statement I saw I one wall which say “Chin up, Bright days ahead”. Honestly, I was shocked when I have read this message since it really lightened up my feeling. Being able to read such phrase is really comforting. I suddenly ask myself why this statement is in this wall, as far as I know, when we say vandalism, most of the works of marks that we see would be nonsense. But, this one is really different.

When will we get satisfied?

Last night I was trying to fill a pail for cleaning the dishes I have at home, since the water flow is slow I decided to leave it and be back in a couple of minutes, when I get back,  I was surprised that the pail is not yet full to the brim. I checked the container and found out that there is a crack on the upper part of the pail where water is also flowing out. When I was about to sleep, I came across the experience that I had and realized some thoughts.
