July to Remember!

Wow, what a wonderful month July has been! I am so thankful to God for all the amazing blessings He has showered upon me this month. I had so many memorable experiences that I want to share with you all. First of all, I was able to visit my parents in Cebu from July 14 to 16 and spend some quality time with them and my adorable nieces and nephew. We had so much fun together, playing games, eating delicious food, and catching up on each other’s lives. It was such a joy to see them happy and healthy. Second, I was also able to reunite with my OSD Angels family and have a lovely get-together dinner that was filled with fun, laughter, and a lot of talks till midnight. It was so nice to see my old friends again and reminisce about our good old days. We also shared our current challenges and achievements and supported each other with love and encouragement. Third, I was beyond grateful for the opportunity to visit the grave of my grandparents and loved ones after 12 long years. It was a very emotional moment for me to pay my respects and express my gratitude to them for their influence and legacy in my life. I felt their presence and guidance as I prayed for them and offered them flowers. And last but not least, I was so grateful to Our Lady of Mount Carmel, after 12 long years, I was able to attend her feast day on July 16 and that was the highlight of my short yet memorable visit to Cebu. I felt so blessed and honored to be part of the celebration and witness the beauty and grace of Our Lady. She has always been my protector and intercessor and I thank her for all the miracles she has done for me.

There you have it, my friends. These are some of the reasons why July has been such a special month for me. I hope you enjoyed reading about my adventures and blessings. I also hope that you had a great month as well and that you are looking forward to August with excitement and optimism. God bless you all!

‘Poorest’ president in the world donates 90% of salary to charity

Uruguayan President José Mujica, has earned the nickname of the “poorest,” or the “most generous,” president in the world By  LARA FERNANDEZ Usually presidents are not associated with poverty. Some, like Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, are even linked to big spending and generous welfare programs. But the President of Uruguay, José Mujica, has earned the nickname of the “poorest,” or the “most generous,” president in the world — depending on how you see things— after revealing that he donates 90 percent of his earnings, to charitable causes. In a recent interview, Mujica told Spain’s  El Mundo  that he earns a salary of $12,500 a month, but only keeps $1,250 for himself, donating the rest to charity. The president said that the only big item he owns is his  VW  car, valued at $1,945 dollars. The farmhouse in which he lives in Montevideo is under his wife’s name, Lucía Topolansky, a Senator, who also donates part of her salary. “I ...
