A Simple Guide to Happiness

...for Pets and Humans

As I was browsing the net for some ideas on a project I am working on, I stumbled upon Purina's video. The title of the video is A Simple Guide to Happiness for Pets and Humans. I liked the video a lot not just for its explicit message but for its underlying message.

The video gives us the following.


1. Greet every day with enthusiasm.
2. Let your silly side show.
3. Learn new tricks.
4. Always take naps.
5. Live curiously.
6. Give love and be loved.
7. Find joy in little things.
8. Life becomes fuller when we savour every moment.
9. Life becomes sweeter when we love the finest way we can.
10. Life becomes happier when we make new discoveries.
11. Life becomes better when we learn the greatest lesson of all ... love simply.


The video also touches on the following:

1. Highlighting rescuing.
2. Defying conventions. The lady owns a dog and the man owns a cat.
3. Promoting love beyond breed. There were native cats and dogs shown.

I won't say more.

TRAVEL TALK: Local Money

Traveling outside the country?

Know the exchange rate & carry local money.

Do your research before the flight. Know their local currency and the exchange rate. Nine times out of ten, you will want to do some shopping and dining and will have to pay for it. Not all countries use credit or debit cards for payments. Knowing this will give you an idea of how much money you can carry.

When you get to your destination’s airport, shop for the best exchange rate. Ensure you are doing business with a legitimate money exchange stall. You don’t want to get caught using fake money and you don't want to be shortchanged. Make sure you already have the local currency before leaving the airport.

Know the most accepted mode of payment and currency. For example, in Nicaragua, they accept both Cordoba (local) and US dollar.

Travel smart.

On Father's Day

Today, we celebrate Father’s Day. Although we should honor our fathers all the time, as the Bible says, this would be the best time to speak of it.
I would like to take this space on my account to greet my old man a Happy Father's Day. He is the man whose fatherhood is shown in three ways: fear and humility before God, unconditional love for our mother, and living by example. All we ever needed!

Every good thing others have learned to love about me and my family is a result of one man's relentless prayers.

Honoring my Tatay today!

Greetings to yours, too.
