My #100thankfuldays ~ Day 64


Host: One of your proudest achievements is standing up to your professor back in college, 
now what have you stood up for recently?

MQ: When I fell on the stage last Friday, I believe that I have stood up for all the women 
who have fallen whether on or off stage. I believe that through this example of mine, 
I have shown courage and strength of being a woman, of being who I am.
And I hope to be an example to the rest of the women in the world. 
~ Miriam Quiambao (Miss Universe 1999, 1st Runner Up)

Whenever I fall, and have chosen to stand up once again, 
I always remind myself to pick up something 
that would make getting up worthier than falling down in the first place.

Missives from my heart ~ May 2011

Silence is holy and pure. It draws people together because only those who are comfortable with each other can sit without speaking. We sit next to each other in silence and as we go on our separate ways, we felt that it was the best conversation that we've ever had... The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning. rain or shine, i don't mind--as long as there are good deeds, heartwarming conversations, unmasked laughters, sweet embraces and comfortable silences to share, to thank for and to keep our hearts happy... i'm glad to have that living mantra of putting my faith in gratitude, happiness and positivity--no matter what the circumstances may be...the smiles in my heart only increased and never ceased... In running, good to keep in mind to divide my race into thirds. Run the first part with my head, the middl...
