Upon entrance, I was surprised having met a few sales personnel handing out coupons and freebies. It was then that I found out, they were on a BIG sale.   After my purpose in going there was served, I decided to try what was in the coupon. It was actually a Free Brewed Coffee coupon on a cozy cafe on the 2nd flr. Impressive. I really found it more impressive as I was in the venue - seated comfortably with a few magazines on designated tables. I even found very good fashion magazines. The kind I would like to spend most of my leisure time on a lazy afternoon.   "This is a great treat for myself !" was all I could think of that moment. But then, what could be the catch? I was taking little sips as I was engrossed in a very entertaining fashion article when I felt someone coming near me. As I started to look at the approaching smiling guy, then I realized the free brewed coffee in the cool, cozy cafe was set for the Sales Personnel for their Mobile Sales Presentation. Sometimes stiff competition in businesses paves a better way for them to reach out for better marketability.   The afternoon was fun-filled for me. I did not just have my coffee treat nor has anyone persuaded me into impulse buying but I gained a new friend that day.   Nice marketing strategy!

During the funeral rite, his younger sister spoke on the podium to express how special he was to her. Although the last seven years of his life was spent mostly in bed due to his health condition, she was grateful that God gave him few more years to be with the family. It was a short talk but so moving.   When it was my son's turn to speak, I became anxious for I never had the slightest idea of what he had to say. Speaking as his childhood bestfriend, he spoke fondly of his cousin-bestfriend whom he loved so dearly. Of how sad he was upon learning about his passing away but his faith in God made him see things in a better perspective.   I was touched deeply with the realization that my son has grown and though saddened of the situation, he stands firm on his convictions with his strong faith in God, who has a better plan and reason for everything.   Finally, my brother thanked everyone especially the relatives who came a long way just to condole and sympathize; the friends & neighbours who were with us during  Paul Franz last few days.   Parting with a love one brings so much sorrow. Now that he is no longer confined to this world full of trials & tribulations, we all put our hopes and trust on God's unending love.     Personal http://hk.zorpia.com/corrinelanozo/journal/1920154 Thu, 30 Jul 2009 01:45 EST Farewell Yahoo! 360 http://hk.zorpia.com/corrinelanozo/journal/1910998 I had been posting with Yahoo! 360 for quite some time. The current notice about it closing on July 13, 2009 somehow made me sad. The friends I have had in the site had been wonderful and I had been accustomed of logging-in more often to see who came and posted updates.... But then, everything has its end and one of the wonderful things that has to end would be it... I had said my farewell to some favorites and hoping to see them soon in the "new" Yahoo! Profile. Personal http://hk.zorpia.com/corrinelanozo/journal/1910998 Sun, 14 Jun 2009 03:00 EST THE INFLUENZA IMMUNIZATION http://hk.zorpia.com/corrinelanozo/journal/1906285 Time does fly quickly. It wasn't long since I've been enjoying the summer holidays in my country. But now, I am experiencing occasional running and being drenched in the rain. It would be the rainy season again and better time to prepare the family from any sickness. Just this afternoon, we had all taken the influenza immunization. It is said that it would take 2 weeks for its efficacy against the flu. As the saying goes, "Better be safe than sorry."   Personal http://hk.zorpia.com/corrinelanozo/journal/1906285 Sat, 23 May 2009 03:42 EST Pacquiao-Hatton Fight http://hk.zorpia.com/corrinelanozo/journal/1901565 I was never a boxing fan when I was a lot younger. In fact, I often wondered why my dad would rather sit in front of the television than join us in the dining table just because of his favorite sport show. But then,  Manny Pacquiao's fame rose to a certain height when he faced Morales in the boxing ring. Everyone seemed to enjoy and was jubilant. I couldn't simply refuse to want to discover what it was that got almost everyone's interest and time. Mind you, whenever Pacquiao's fight is aired on cable tv, the streets become so silent. There is even a zero crime rate in my country. Poeple of different walks in life is glued on the set until the last blow is given or until a victory is announced. As Pacquiao contends with Hatton tomorrow, which is also tagged as "the battle of east and west," it is most certain that fans of both contenders are equally excited with much anticipation.

I randomly go through chapters and verses, read and reflect on it. As I got to Matthew 15:4, flashes on instances in my life came to mind - On how my personal relationship with my own parents had been all through these years. I had no qualms about it, though. My father isnâ€™t with me now yet, I could say when it comes to the amount of respect, I had given him so much. Respect not just because he had to be obeyed for his role in the family but due to the love he had showed to each one in the family. And Ma, my sole living parent has been getting more than the love and respect she so deserved. There were instances in the past when our points donâ€™t meet and I had been persistent that she would see my point. But luckily, she lends an ear and tries her best to get into the picture I had been trying to illustrate. Ma has certain qualities that are so great and has made her invincible. She doesnâ€™t talk much but when she does, she seems to touch hearts with her words of wisdom. It must be the unconditional love that parents have for their children that makes a whole lot of difference. The holy week is meant for reflections on how each one of us have been doing as we live different roles in life. Whether as sister, brother, mother, father, friend, etc.. But then, the good that we do isn't suppose to be confined in one certain occasion. Everything that we were, everything that we should be, ought to be given a special moment each day. HAPPY EASTER TO EVERYONE!

Although very short I found it moving & inspiring. There was this lady who had a newly built house. Her architect suggested to her that it would be nice to have a butterfly tree in her garden. He described to her how it would look â€“ lots of beautiful, brightly colored butterflies flying around her garden adding beauty to her home. Now, just in case you didnâ€™t know this, a butterfly tree doesnâ€™t naturally produce butterflies as fruits. Instead, man puts a hole in the tree where eggs are placed. The eggs become caterpillars, then cocoons, then finally, butterflies. So a few weeks after the ladyâ€™s butterfly tree was planted, caterpillars started crawling around her house. She couldnâ€™t stand the sight of these creatures so she had them killed. The butterflies never came. In our journeys in life, we often fail to know and realize that we have to undergo failures and sacrifices before we get to our desired goal. Little sacrifices & inconveniences add more weight as we carry each load on our shoulders. We need to face reality & the challenges of our daily lives. May we see beyond caterpillars & instead see them as potential butterflies. Remember, butterflies begin as caterpillars. We canâ€™t take a short cut.
