Excuses on Starting Stock Market Trading

This is going to be my first entry about stock market trading. I started active trading August of 2015. I am but a newbie.

Kahit na marami na kong alam about Stocks, Mutual Fund, Variable Life Insurance,  UTIF, etc. It still took me some time before I was able to actively trade my COL account. Knowledge without application is nonsense, right? Parang yung friend mo na makapag advice about love, pero NBSB naman..hehe! You need actual exposure to actually know what is out there.

Below were my reasons behind my contemplation, may be you can also relate to these:


1. Akala ko para lang to sa mga matatalino at technical. Nakaka-overwhelm yung numbers and charts, saw the picture? paano basahin yang mga waveform and bars? Numbers! ang daming numbers!haha!


2. Para lang sa may mga pera at sobrang yaman. But I was wrong, having 5,000 na usually eh kaya mo ipang-lakwatsa, you can already have COL account and start from there. Here is the link on how to open an account https://www.colfinancial.com/ape/Final2/home/open_an_account.asp


3. Wala akong pera. Wala akong pang capital because I made wrong financial decisions in the prior year. I traveled a lot that compromised my finances. But, hey, kung gaano mo kagusto ang isang bagay, ganun mo din sya ka hard ka-career-rin. Bangon kaibigan! Cut other expenses to start investing.

A Wounded Disciple

A contradictory feelings, ranging from liberty to shame. That’s how you’ll feel realizing that your past wounds still have its impact in your today’s actions and choices.


To begin this article....

Once, there was this man who tried to love as Christ wants us to love. He made me understand these things by heart.




Your Experience Is Not Your Identity


If you experienced attraction to this and to that, or the other thing, you did this and did that, maybe you have been abused, hurt, or ignored, or maybe committed this sin and that sin, all of that experiences that left you wounded, keep in mind, that's your experience, not your identity.

You are not the sum of your weakness, your wounds, your failures or your sins. You are the sum of the Father's love for you and your capacity to be image of Jesus Christ to the world. - Pope John Paul II.

28 lessons learned at 28

I will say that as we get older, we get wiser. We experience new things both good and bad. We make mistakes, we learn, we grow. Through all my experiences, I’ve changed. I evolved like a pokemon as my friends used to say. Nyahaha!

Here’s the 28 things I’ve learned in my 28 years so far:

1. Stop too much selfies and emo post.
Yeah right. I’m guilty of it. Been there, done that. Not everyone has to know what you are going through.


2. Attitude has to change.
Diversify, do not stay with the same group forever, meeting new people means new perspective; means wider horizon; means better attitude.


3. Handling finances.
I have learned not to incur credit card debt, religiously save, and have personal insurance policies and stock positions. I will not be able to do it if I am not able to learn the next point which is..

"Princess of God" : Not Simple As It Is

"We are God's princesses; men should treat us with love and respect. We should not lower our standard for them. The right man will come for us."

A statement I heard from a woman.

I think some ladies are getting it wrong. I once was and am still learning from it.

Here are my initial reaction whenever I hear those:
1. Are we actually behaving like a princess?
2. Are we the right person for the right person that we are praying for?





Those phrases were true. I have nothing against it, but we have to put it in the right perspective.

Being a princess of God comes with so much more. Princess like thinking without backing it up with character is an issue that we have to deal with.

Yes, we are the Father's princess but we must think, behave and develop a character like one.

Physically.

It must be seen on how you dress. Ladies should always dress well and decent. You can be sexy without being revealing. To be seen as someone simple yet beautiful is far better than sexy. Respect is something we gain not something we impose. That is equally true if we want men to respect us. Learn to dress properly!


Mind and Soul.

It must be our goal to be a beautiful woman with beautiful heart.

We need to have an open mind and a teachable heart for this matter. We should learn and value the wisdom that our parents and elders are providing us. We will learn a lot from them.

Read your bible, God's wisdom is superb!
You can also read books, listen to podcast and other stuff to widen your horizon. Never stop learning! Be a woman of substance!

Why is It Important to Get Out of Our Comfort Zone?

Getting out of our comfort zone is very Important. Simply because we have to. We need to adopt to the constant changes that are happening around us.

Our mindset has to evolve and mature. Our brain can hold so much thoughts that must be put to focus.

Imagine the universe, imagine how big our galaxy is. That's how big our brain I think.

Human brain is not proportional to human body size. Our brain is a huge thing. We do sometimes feel like we know nothing, while other feels that they know a lot.

There is so much space for us to belittle ourselves and feel like we are nothing. The truth is, we knew a lot and have learn a lot as we spend this lifetime, it's just that, our thoughts were scattered. We do not know what we really want, we got confused and somehow lost as if there are these dark big spaces that's still unoccupied.

Can we fill-in those spaces? The answer is, IT DEPENDS.

Simply because once we learn something, we get used to it, then, boom! that's it! It becomes a routine and somehow boring.

What we have to understand here is that, we, as human being, are wired to change and to grow.

We just can't stay in one zone forever. We must continue learning.

There is so much to life, so much to experience. Don't focused on what was lost and what's not there. Create new boxes to fill in. Focused on those boxes so you won't notice the vast in your thoughts and get lost.

Give yourself a favor. Learn new skills, new knowledge, new environment.

Get out of your comfort zone. Travel. Read books. Study the bible. Know your creator. Meet new people, Cherish the old. Live life to the fullest! :)

Waves and Silence of Talisayen Cove Zambales

Talisayen cove is one of the coves in San Antonio Zambales. It is after Anawangin, Nagsasa and Silanganen. As of this writing, this place is not yet that known to tourist unlike Anawangin.

Mind you, its beauty and silence is so captivating that you will want to stay longer. We were happy that there were only few campers during our visit. It feels like we rented the whole place. :)

What I personally enjoyed here are:

The Waves – it is big yet safe. "Ayan na! Ayan na ang wavvveeeee!!!" Kasabay ng masarap na tawanan. :)

The Disciples that I am with –Who can forget the life experiences that we shared while we were playing with the waves. I am so blessed to travel with this kind of people. They make every second worthwhile.  #NakakagalingAngDagat #Buto #Mangga #Friendzone #LateLayingDownOfIntention #Nanghihinayang

WHEN HE CHOSE RELIGION OVER YOU.

What will you do if someone you love can't love you fully because of your religion?

You are reading this most likely because you have this agony of whether to fight or to just let it go.

Let me say these words to you. This is just an opinion but it might help.  :)

Let us put ourselves in this scenario.

You are in a relationship with someone whose religion is different from you. Let us say, He is a catholic while you are a christian born-again.

He valued his religion more than you-- him being a Catholic. He broke up with you or probably treated you badly because he is in doubt.

Your faith being a born-again Christian is what at stake. It is your source of strength. You are at peace with it.

You even did not ask him to give up his faith for you, as it is also his source of strength, he is at peace with it. You respect it.

But still, he gave you this reason to end the relationship.

You are wondering why it has to be a reason. Why you can't be together because of it?

Let me tell you this...
