MOMI SHARES| I am grateful

· 26 Comments

“Some people grumble that roses have thorns; I am grateful that thorns have roses.”

― Alphonse Karr, A Tour Round My Garden

I read this novel by Alphonse Karr a very long time ago.  I remember I was a shy girl in high school.  After lunch, I would go to the library and read books or anything that interest me.  Or should I say, anything to kill time?

My mom tended a sari-sari store.  And that store helped finance my studies all throughout high school.  We weren’t wealthy, so I did not have the same expensive notebooks and shoes my classmates had.  I feared family day or school activities the most.  That meant we would wear civilian clothes and I did not have many dresses to flaunt.

Despite that, I was still grateful especially to my mom.  She wanted me to finish high school in a prestigious school as she always believes that good education is critical to building a solid learning foundation.

The Ungrateful me

Fast forward to 20 years, and I have my family.  I used to question myself, “Am I still grateful of the things I have?”  Often, I look for more.  It seems I am never contented.  What happened to the shy poor girl 20 years ago who always feel grateful?

MOMI INVITES| Be a hero with a purchase of Life Saver Watches

· 6 Comments

We’ve got a dear friend who died of breast cancer many years ago.  We all thought she was completely healed of this genetic disease as she was declared cancer free after years of chemotherapy.  I remember she would frequent the Pink Sisters in Baguio who helped her pray for her recovery.  Not until a few months then when her family told us she was gone.

Visiting her house was never the same.  Attending parties and gatherings became seldom.  She used to organize these things.  And now she was gone.  And breast cancer claimed her life.

It is perhaps this reason that I support groups providing care and assistance to cancer patients. These cancer patients need all the support and attention they require. And an all-Filipino social enterprise named LoveHopeFaith Group (LHF) is one of those circles that give such help.

Life Saver Watches for a cause

In its commitment to provide affordable and quality products while giving back to the community, LHF offers Life Saver Watches, Shirts, and Bags. 50 percent of the net proceeds from the purchase of any LHF product are donated to its causes. As the business grows, LHF adds non-profit institutions to its list of beneficiaries.

MOMI LEARNS/ Unmasking Your Thyroid

· Leave a Comment

I do not pay much attention to the tiny endocrine powerhouse in my neck. Or I guess most of us do not, do we?   Until I attended a talk about Unmasking Your Thyroid.  It made me realize I should take notice of its importance. Our thyroid greatly influences almost every cell in our body.  It acts as our body’s control center.

According to a study by the Philippine Society of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism, one in 11 Filipino adults has goiter.  And around one in 12 Filipino adults suffers from some form of thyroid disorders.  This study was done in 2012 and still holds true up to this date.
