Celebrating Green and Gold’s 83rd of Existence


With the theme "A Green FEU for a Golden Tomorrow” Far Eastern University celebrates its 83rd Founding Anniversary. To celebrate this special day, the student is invited to attend the different activities that focus on saving the environment and the impact of technology. Being part of this big event, I and my friends contribute our time to donate blood as help to the needy. Aside from this, the students are also amazing, clever, and devoted on participating in the different contest and seminars held inside the campus. I also discovered an amazing group of talented, dedicated, and passionate teachers.
Far Eastern Universities foundation day leaves a remarkable experience to both students, staff and professors.

Finding The fun in Saving Money



Are you a reformed shopaholic? You don't have enough money?  But you cant stop shopping and you often rack up huge bills buying things that you can’t afford or you frequently buy things that you don’t need or use. Here's how to put your bad spending habits on the clearance rack. Always remember that sometimes the pleasure is only for a moment then there’s regret and guilt afterward, soon  you will lose interest in your purchases and sometimes you even forgetting what you’ve bought. I advice you to pause before purchasing, ask yourself a few key questions before plunking down the plastic: Do I need this? What if I wait? How will I pay for it? Where will I put it?. Keep a log of what you bought, how much it cost and how you felt before, during and afterward. 


Another one, if your a kind of shopaholic who find shopping as your solution to a lousy day at work or you often often look at shopping as an escape from being depressed, angry, lonely, upset or even bored. One of the solution i can give you is to  find healthier (and cheaper!) ways to cheer up. Talk to someone who makes you laugh, take a walk or relax in a bubble bath.  And if you used credit cards in paying your bills always remember how to limit yourself in using it. We see huge amounts of credit card debt and a lot of this can lead to bankruptcy and, for some people, destroyed lives. Don't forget that debt is one of the most serious consequences of compulsive shopping.


Shopping can be fun and we all have to shop for one thing or another from time to time.
Learning to shop and spend smart is key to your recovery of overcoming addiction to shopping and  you can even save a money.

A TREASURE OF MINE

One of the most things that I valued so much is my Bible. Because whenever I’m lonely I will just open it and the Lord will give me a verse that is suitable to my needs. I always bring my Bible with me wherever I go for i know anytime I seek Him the message of His word will be a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.


 I love hearing a message coming from God because it inspires me to live in life. I value this thing so much because it is the word of truth, it gives me advice on how to live in a meaningful life, it reveals Christ on me, it is also the key to true freedom and liberty and last it is the true food for man’s soul.




Aside from Bible,I also love my antique necklace that was given to me by my father. I used this once during the day of my debut only. This item was passed down from generation to generation and I valued it so much. It is a cross surrounded by little diamonds. It’s my grandmother’s necklace and she gave it to my father. When I reached eighteen my father turn over to me this very nice and fancy necklace, one of his statement when he place it in my hands  was to handle it with care and when I already have my own family and children then it's the time for me to hand it over to my first daughter when she reach the age of eighteen. I value this thing so much because it has the memory of my ancestor who had it first. Having this item is a great favor for me because it is I who was given the privilege and the trust to keep it until I forward it to the next generation of our family.

I want to pass to my children these two things that I treasured most because I believe that the even though I’m far from them the Bible will be their guide and path. And the necklace that was passed to me by my father is our families treasure, it contains the everlasting love of our grandmother and grandfather to us. This cross symbolize that even though they already passed away the Lord will always be with us and we know that the time they reached the heaven they whisper to God to continue to guide us and direct us in life.

My 2011 Countdown

I will really miss the year 2010, because during this year lots of trials comes in my life.
And it really test the faith I have about how strong i am to handle the different kind of situation in life.
As i always mention "at the end of the storm there is always a sunshine waiting" and I am really excited for the year 2011 i don't know why? but i believe that this will be a new beginning for me.


My 2011 countdown start with this::
at 10 am i woke up and i saw my mom preparing for the Mega Noche. As usual i toke my breakfast then help  her in everything. I fixed my room, i cleaned it up, i remove all the mess that i found and i changed my curtains. I took a bath for almost an hour, i told myself "this would be the last bath that i will have for the year 2010 so i will take my time in taking a bath". Around 5pm my Auntie came and she helped my mom in the kitchen, I went up to my room and get my notebook and i started to wrote everything that had happen to me for the year 2010 after this, i take my time thinking what will be my Faith Goal for the year 2011. I wrote everything i want to accomplish by faith for the year 2011 the clock keeps on moving at 9pm i'm almost excited because in just 3 hours i will say goodbye for the year 2010. I can't explain what i feel when my mom said "lets start to countdown because 2011 is coming in just 10 seconds..." 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 and there it is HAPPY NEW YEAR we all screamed. We went outside our gate and watch over our neighbors fireworks i can see that they spend lots of money with those things, noise are getting louder and louder and louder. Watching over the beautiful fireworks makes me realize that it is already the start of the new beginning and everything that had happened in the past will just remain as a great testimony of mine. By 1 am of 1-1-11 we start to ate the foods prepared by my mom and aunt. :) Right now i'm looking forward for the new beginning of my journey toward the year 2011.
