These are the things I have learned in my 39 years of existence on earth:
1. My mantra now is "ayaw mo, wag mo". You can't please everybody. People are entitled to their opinion, just need to respect it.
2. If you love someone, don't expect the same amount of love in return.
3. Love, respect and trust are the most important ingredients in any relationship.
4. If you're given a task, do it well.
5. If you're given any responsibility, be accountable for it.
6. Don't force someone to like/love you, if they really care for you, it will come naturally.
7. Be mature to face all types of challenges that come your way.
8. You learn things from your mistakes or from your past experience, treasure it.
9. Enjoy life the way you want to live it as long as you know your limitations.
10. Have a sense of responsibility.
11. Have high respect for your parents and you will never go wrong.
12. Have more faith in Him and trust Him for all the happenings in your life whether it's bad or not. Everything happens according to His will.
13. Help those in need even strangers.
14. Show respect to all the people you deal with.
15. If you feel like giving up, kneel down and pray. Only Him who can give you assurance that "everything will be ok".
16. I love it when I make my loved ones happy. Make it a habit to make others happy.
17. Don't forget yourself. Learn to love yourself.
18. Never doubt yourself that you can do anything with the help of Almighty Father.
19. Reconnect to your long lost friends. Treasure the friendship.
20. Share your blessings.
21. Have someone in your life who can be trusted of all the things you are going through. It relieves when you get to release the burden in your heart.
22. Have "me" time. Know yourself deeper.
23. Write the things you want in life. Your goals. Your dreams. Before you know it, you have achieved it already.
24. Be grounded. Be humble.
25. Have a grateful heart.
26. Focus on things you like to achieve.
27. Be kind always.
28. Try things out of your comfort zone.
29. Be a good listener.
30. Be vocal about your feelings.
31. If you are sad, let it be. Anyway, it will pass.
32. Look back to where you came from and be grateful to those people who have helped you become the person you are now.
33. Be patient to your kids. Let them play and enjoy their childhood.
34. Fulfill your long-time dream.
35. Always make yourself happy.
36. Be patient to all other people you deal with.

I thank God for giving me the kind of life I have right now, for the gift of family, for being the person I am now. I pray for good health, more happiness, peace of mind, lots of love for me, my family, my friends and those who are in need.
