Introducing Anthony...

We have four (4) kids, and yes all of them will celebrate their birthdays yearly ;) plus me and my wife for a grand total of 6 birthdays a year. So, we want to celebrate these occasions (of course) but we also do not want to spend too much on these so as to allocate "expenses" in priorities. Celebrating in a "cheaper" way does not have to look cheap.

I have my share of sufferings, and I could say that more recently, I have suffered a lot. I have seen suffering among my family members, friends and people whom I do not even know. I happened to revisit the Book of Job and how he suffered.

I think I've lost it!

Still no cigarettes today Original Blog Date October 10, 2011 I stumbled on a booklet today (that probably my uncle intentionally left here at home from Canada) that says: "for smokers who want to quit, one step at a time", that caught my attention. As a smoker, I've tried countless times in the past on quitting. May it be a week, three days, or just for 24 hours... to no avail. I started to flip the pages of the booklet and saw that it is divided into chapters depending on your readiness to quit. It also includes "things to do" as an alternative or a permanent replacement. The booklet is so detailed and structured that will really make you stop / or help you along your journey in quitting.  Ironically, as I am writing this now, I am (yes) smoking while gulping on my almost-ice-cold-supposed-to-be hot coffee : ) Analyzing the suggestions on the booklet, it reminded m
