2019 Pampaswerte, mga dapat gawin para maging maswerte ang Bagong Taon mo. Here are some tried and tested New Year’s Celebration For Luck:

Celebrate Media Noche at your home. You have to celebrate the New Year’s eve countdown to your own place. Para itataboy mo ang malas at ikaw mismo ang tatanggap ng swerte na darating sa bahay mo/nyo.

13 round fruits. Maghanda sa lamesa ng iba’t ibang klaseng prutas. Bakit dapat ay 13 rounds fruits? Dahil ang bawat prutas ay nag re represent ng buwan sa loob ng isang taon. May pasobrang isa para sa sobrang biyaya na matatanggap mo. This symbolizes your gratefulness for the coming year. Naghahanda ka ng prutas bilang pasasalamat sa pagiging swerte mo sa darating na taon.

Maghanda ng mga swerteng pagkain sa Media Noche. Ang mga maswerteng pagkain o handa sa New Year’s eve ay baboy, baka, o isdang malaki (huwag yung matinik na isda). Maganda din na samahan ng pagkain na gawa sa malagkit gaya ng Arroz o Biko. Huwag ka daw maghahain ng manok kase magiging isang kahig, isang tuka ka. Huwag ka din daw maghahain ng crab kase gagapang ka sa hirap.

Magsuot ng lucky colors sa New Year’s Celebration. The lucky color for 2019 is red, orange, and pink. Coincidentally, the Pantone Color of the Year is Living Color which is in the spectrum of red-orange.

Magsaboy ng maraming barya pagpatak ng alas dose sa New Year’s Eve. Mas maraming barya, mas matunog. Magkalat din ng mga barya barya sa loob ng bahay bago sumapit ang alas dose para pagpasok ng Bagong Taon maraming pera ang nakakalat sa bahay.

Buksan ang lahat ng ilaw sa bahay bago sumapit ang baong taon. Dapat maliwanag at bukas lahat ng ilaw sa bahay bago sumapit ang pumatak ang alas dose ng gabi.

Punuin ang lagayan ng bigas, asukal, at asin bago pumasok ang bagong taon. Maganda itong pampaswerte dahil ibig sabihin buong taon na puno ang lagayan mo pagkain.

Siguraduhin nakasarado ang mga bowl sa banyo sa pagpasok ng bagong taon. Kung walang takip ang bowl, kahit ang pinto ng banyo. Pwede mo din buksan ang tubig sa gripo sa pagsapit ng Bagong Taon para tuloy tuloy ang pasok ng grasya.

Mag ingay para itaboy ang malas sa pagpasok ng Bagong Taon. Loud music, loud sounds, i on ang alarm ng kotse, mag torotot kayo. Mag ingay kayo sa lahat ng sulok ng bahay ninyo. Ikutin nyo ang buong bahay ninyo na nag iingay.

Pray and wear a smile. Mag alay ng pasasalamat para sa taong nagdaan at mag baon ng magandang ugali para sa bagong taon. Maging masaya sa pagsapit ng bagong taon para mas lalo pa pumasok ang swerte sa buhay mo.

3 Reasons Why Building Self-Confidence Is Critical To Your Success

Self-confidence is a deep sense of self-awareness within you that makes you confident and is a critical factor in your everyday life. Many people have goals to achieve, ranging from business-related goals to individual goals and they all require a certain level of self-confidence to achieve them.

It is therefore essential for you to build up some self-confidence. By this, you need to know your abilities and qualities well and in case you don’t, figure them out. Here are 3 reasons why building self-confidence is critical to your success.

It enables you to progress

What matters the most for you to progress fast is your belief in winning and your ability to succeed in what you do. Self-confidence is more like a booster that encourages you to start off things on our own. It gives you the ability to easily stretch your limits as well as test them. Whether you want to become an influential person or thrive in whatever you do, you have to be self-confident.

The moment you are not shy or afraid of standing out, give an opinion about something or speak out a new idea then you are on the road to progress. By doing this you gradually realize your capabilities and potential.

The same applies in business. If you want to strike a deal or get a job, you need to know how to be self-confident to show your prospective clients and interviewers how strong you are so as to sell yourself, products or services.

Self-confidence also enables you to attract the right kind of people into your life. Once you can engage an audience with your confidence, then they will be engaged and are more likely to listen to you. The more people you can attract, the more you progress.

It enables you to stand up for yourself

Self-confidence gives you the ability to either refuse something that you don’t want or don’t like or agree where appropriate. When you can stand up for yourself as well as your opinions in a fair and consistent manner, then you will get the proper treatment that you deserve. You will not be forced to do anything inappropriate. You make the final choice which determines what you want. Once you can make the right decisions, then you will be able to achieve your goals.

It helps to overcome the fear of both the known and the unknown

Most people who are not self-confident are afraid. While fear might be seen to be normal it can have negative impacts on your life since it can lead to failure. Be confident in your abilities and capabilities and do not fear what others think. For you to succeed you need to have the confidence to face and overcome your fears. Have the guts to ask a question when you don’t understand, even when others are silent or ask for a job rather than be afraid.

With self-confidence, there is so much that you can achieve. Most successful people are self-confident and believe in themselves, so you need to know how to love yourself, believe in yourself, your skills and capabilities to for you to succeed.

Our Years Of Shopwise Magical Christmas

A mom from our Facebook support group asked where’s the best place to shop for Noche Buena and Media Noche and most moms answered SHOPWISE. Kahit naman ako, sagot ko din Shopwise. We have been doing our Noche Buena and Media Noche shopping sa Shopwise ever since the world begun. Even though the nearest Shopwise is in Quezon City pa, it has to be Shopwise. Why? All I need for Christmas (and New Year) celebration nasa Shopwise. From my handa to Christmas decors and some last minute Christmas gift shopping. And I am speaking from years of expereince of shopping at Shopwise a few days before the celebrations.

First Christmas sa sarili naming bahay. Syempre I want it to be as grand or as memorable as possible. We need some new Christmas decors, some new plates and the likes pero short naman sa budget kase kalilipat nga lang. Shopwise was the answer to my dilemma.

Mura kase ang Christmas decors sa Shopwise and aside from the usual decors, I was also able to buy plates, glass and table runner for Christmas.

For New Year, to complete our Media Noche fruit baskets, we always check first the fruit section in Shopwise.

I can’t remember a year that we were not able to complete the 13 fruits needed for Media Noche fruit basket since Shopwise have all the fruits, round fruits, we need.

There was a time that we decided to have wine and cheese platter for Christmas because we noticed how big the wine and cheese selection at Shopwise.

We have no wine brand preference for now so wala akong ma i sa suggest sa inyo. Pero what I can tell you is sa Shopwise, you can find the cheap wines and expensive ones. Marami kang choices. Same goes when it comes to cheese, you can buy per 100 grams.

Las Christmas naman, we invited my brother in law’s family to spend Noche Buena with us. We already have a gift for their baby girl which we brought at their house already.. but since they will be spending Christmas with us, we decided to buy her another one.

Shopwise never failed me when it comes to this area of adulting. They always have something na pwedeng ipang regalo. From toys to small house appliances, clothes and even gadgets like charger and ear phones.

And of course their wide assortment of Christmas basket that caters to our budget. They have affordable assortments and there are expensive ones din.

The best part for me is the wide range of meat that is available sa Shopwise. We can always have the steak that my kids look forward to, or the BBQ that my ate wants. Or the chicken for our macaroni salad. And speaking of, I love how Shopwise highlights ang mga pambansang panghanda like Macaroni salad and fruit salad.

Holiday Ham never runs out of supply sa Shopwise. That’s our favorite Christmas ham, sarap kase and very real ang lasa.

Shopwise has been a part of our Christmas tradition talaga. And this year will be no different. As I was checking Shopwise Facebook Page for their schedule, I saw this video:

Wide variety, wide assortment, wide selection, tingnan nyo, parehas kame ng description ni Mariel ng Shopwise.

We’re planning to do our shopping this weekend for our Noche Buena, how about you momshie? are you done with your Noche Buena shopping? Kailan kayo mamimili sa Shopwise?
