2.0.1.0

Looking back is always fun as there is a lot to be thankful for this last year.

I had a brand new addition to my family, baby KenKen, the cute little boy who is full of optimism.  In the same month my dad finally "came back" from his long vacation adding another shade to the spectrum of my life. (March).  Meeting my siblings added a new purpose to my life (April).

My team at Avanade GHD moved from Cybergate to Mckinley Hill.  I'm not really so thankful for that, but I'm thankful for my team who remained intact despite the difficulty, albeit, expensive and tiring commute to and fro.  I'm looking forward to break the good news this January when it reaches me.  In this same month, our church, Pilgrim BBC moves to the wilderness, going from a rented place to a non-rented interim place until we occupy the "Promised Land". God blessed us with a property at Brookside Hills. Hopefully, God will give us a building soon.   (August)

This year is also the year where Sister Yams left for the US.  I do hope you finally get your drivers license.

Tito Al and Tita Offie came home from the US. (April) Tito Danny and Tita Mila sent us some presents (Jan)
Witnessed the wedding of my friend Pastor Jun and Che (Feb) and the passing away Lola Remy.

I also went to Dayspring Reunion (May) and FCS Grand Alumni Reunion (Feb).

Many other things happened in between, but the most important thing is that God remains to be faithful to us and his grace and mercy is has not failed us. 

To those who've been an active part of my 2010, my wife, my mom and dad, my uncles, my grandma, my co-workers, my baddicts, my ABC family, my church family, my Accenture and Avanade friends - let's leave this year along with all the challenges and let us forge ahead with the good things we learned.

A happy 2011 to you and yours!

God Wants You to Be Abundant!

“The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have [it] more abundantly.” John 10:10 King James Version

Christ came to give us abundant life.

I’m not referring to spiritual abundance only but in all aspects.  Christ’s life was characterized by balance.

“And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.” Luke 2:52

The question is: Why are many people not living the abundant life?

Is it because they don’t know how to?

Is it because they don’t want to?

No! It is because they don’t do what they know!

Living the abundant life entails several steps.

Step 1 is to know man’s composition.

Man is tri-partite being.

Body, Soul and Spirit.

In order for you to be able to be truly abundant, each part should be abundant.

Body – material abundance

Soul – personal growth

Spirit – spiritual growth

Let’s take it backwards.

“For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?” Mark 8:36 KJV

That simply means it is useless to be wealthy materially but spiritually dead.

Are you spiritually alive? (link to follow) 

Now that you are spiritually alive we can proceed with the next one – Personal Growth.

How are you as a person?  Do you know yourself?  Do you have friends you trust? Are you respected by people?

Thirdly  - Material abundance.

Do you have the freedom to do what you really want to do in life?

I will answer these questions in my succeeding blogs.

Random Rumblings

What if I could have everything I wanted? An Audi R8, a Ducati Streetfighter, the Iron Man suit :), Warren Buffet's wits, Bill Gates opportunistic innovation, Barack Obama's charisma, and perhaps retain the good looks of Raphael Linsangan... would it make a difference?

It's good that God knows I can't handle it, so he only gave me the last one, which is you know isn't true either. So what's left? I guess, I should be thankful that I'm me and that I have received the most precious gift a man could have - his relationship with his God and the wisdom to obey God to the best of one's ability. (Mark 8:36)

Let's be content with what we have but let's continually seek to improve ourselves, in this world but most of all for the next.

I'm installing WindowsXP Mode on Windows 7.
It's like being able to install and run your legacy XP programs on Windows 7. Ingenious ah!

Office 2010

I've been using Office 2010 since beta.

Here's something to get you started: http://ping.fm/uhJig

The thing I love the most about Office 2010 is Outlook's capability to support multiple Exchange servers. Thus I can check my Avanade, Accenture, mails, etc, under one Outlook window. Cool huh!

And that's just for starters :)
