Envisioning a better Christmas at The LOOP

I

t's the most wonderful time of the year in Cagayan de Oro! The Loop at the Limketkai Center has lighted its giant outdoor Candyland Christmas usher in the yuletide season.

It is a welcoming sight that invokes all the excitement that comes with Christmas: shopping for the best gifts, having parties and getting together, and sharing good food and laughter that strengthen bonds with friends and loved ones.

All these and everything else associated with Christmas are easy and convenient to do when living at The Loop, the landmark condominium development of Vista Residences, the vertical marketing arm of the country's largest homebuilder, Vista Land.

That's because The Loop will be built at the heart of CDO's central business and commercial district. To rise along Rosario Crescent at the Limketkai Center, The Loop will make the observation of the Christmas season not only festive and meaningful for its homeowners, but also more convenient and a lot less stressful.

Hassle-free shopping. With The Loop just a stone's throw away from malls, boutiques, and retail shops, shopping will be a breeze no matter how long the gift list is. It's easy to go through potential gift items from one mall to another, or browse the merchandise from one shop to the next. There is no need to drive to get to the next store because they are all within THE LOOP | Page C2

PAIN PAIN GO AWAY PART 3 FINALE http://www.chinkeetan.com/

TAN

by CHINKEE

If you are having a h a rd t i m e m ov i n g on or you know of someone who is going through pain, you got to read this and share this with them.

I just like to thank the people who are following this series and are ministered to the content of this blog.

Now we have come to the final article on how to manage and move on from emotional pain.

There is shame to acknowledge the pain you feel. When you cry to express your feelings and frustrations, some may say that it only shows you are vulnerable and weak.

But some people do not understand that being real to yourself about what you are feeling is a good sign.

Your road to recovery and healing is through…

HONESTY

You got to be truthful and honest with what you are feeling.

You cannot deny or hide it. The more you conceal the pain, the more it will not get healed.

Pain is like a wound, tightly bandage without cleaning it. The wound would not have enough room to breathe. Thus, leading to more complications and infection.

Admission is not a sign of weakness, but rather a sign of strength.

It takes more guts to admit and tell the truth. Live up with whatever the consequence, than running away and hiding like a coward and deny that it is happening.

Facing the tr uth may be the hardest part, but it can sure set you FREE. Acknowledging that you are in an emotional pain is the first step in your healing process.

Now let us go to the second thing you need to do…

KNOW THE SOURCE OF YOUR PAIN In order for you to kill the feeling of pain, you got to identify the source.

If you are experiencing a rec urring

headache, even if you take lots of pain killers, it will eventually come back. In order to cure the disease, you got to find out the cause of the disease.

Likewise, in order to solve the feeling of pain, you got to also find the source of your pain.

What are the things that happened in the past or present in your life that reminds you of the pain?

When does it remind you of the pain?

FORGIVE & MOVE ON We cannot move away from our pain if we are tied up to it.

It is like trying to row your boat, but with the rope still tied on the dock.

No matter how hard you tr y, it will not move and it will not budge.

Every time you are reminded of the past incident; the hurting words that was spoken; the betrayal of trust; the feeling of rejection.

Do not torture yourself for the mistakes and cruelty of others.

This opens up old wounds again.

Reminding of your past will just make you a prisoner of your past.

My question to you right now is, do you want to be healed?

Ask God to give you the grace to forgive, so that you can move on and start a new life.

We need to let go and let God heal our pain.

walking distance from The Loop.

Once their hands are full of merchandise, The Loop homeowners only need to walk home to deposit their goods, maybe put their feet up for a quick break, and go out again to finish shopping. They can even extend their shopping spree to several days to fully savor the enjoyable experience of buying Christmas gifts.

More shopping options. With The Loop's strategic location right within the CBD, its homeowners will have easy access to all the wonderful places to shop at Christmas time, from high-end retail stores offering signature brand items, to shops and stores offering other products such as food items, electronics, fashion wear, accessories, among others.

Limketkai Center alone has hundreds of tenants offering all kinds of products and merchandise, so that whatever kind of gift item the shopper is looking for, it will surely be found here. The cheerful Christmas decorations will also make the shopping experience more fun and exciting.

As Limketkai Mall continues to expand, recently opening a new area with more commercial spaces, it will be able to offer more shopping options to The Loop homeowners in a few years.

More party venues. Christmas

time is filled with parties, reunions, and get-together of colleagues, classmates, relatives, and friends. But with everyone else planning their own event, finding a venue might prove to be difficult.

Not so for homeowners of The Loop, with the numerous venues available within the vicinity of the condo community.

Within walking distance from The Loop are hotels with their banquet halls, big restaurants with their function rooms, and convention centers that can accommodate hundreds of guests at a time. Smaller get-togethers can be held at nearby coffee shops, restaurants, bistros, and bars.

The Loop homeowners can also hold their own intimate Christmas soirees at the Canopy where a multi-function hall will be housed. The Loop’s central location and easy access to public transportation will make it easy for guests to get there, ensuring a big turnout and a successfully merry party.

Better Christmas celebrations are waiting for you at The Loop. Secure your condo unit now at The Loop by visiting The Loop Business Hub at Rosario Crescent, Limketkai Center, or call 0917-810-2445, email theloopatlimketkaicenter@ gmail.com, and check out the website theloopcdo.com. #

SECURITY is defined as the degree of resistance to or protection from harm.

It applies to any vulnerable such a person, dwelling, community, nation or organization. Security is categorized in various ways. There is personal security, there is occupational security, there is industrial security. In our day-to-day job as media workers, we are usually recipients of seminars on personal security, perceiving situational awareness in your environment at all times, etc. I had a breach of security exactly a week ago last Friday, December 5 when I allowed a pickpocket to dig in my bag while we were passengers in an R1

Security breaches, et al

In short, the guy took my crappy four-year-old phone and all my contacts and calendar schedule along with it.

But why am I talking about security? It’s because breaches of security are an issue in Cagayan de Oro and its outskirts nowadays.

First, there was that massacre in Iligan right after typhoon Ruby. Then there was that CMU bombing.

Then there was that jewelry shop robbery outside Ketkai. To add to the list are two more – the intentioned massacre of four friends in Mambuaya which resulted to the death of three persons who belong to well-off

families, and the ambush wounding of Congressman Varf Belmonte which also resulted to the death of four of his bodyguards. All of these are a headache to the PNP regional office, which despite everything, will proceed with its yearend fellowship with media later tonight. And it must proceed because we must not allow bad people to get in our way of our day-today lives in this City by the Bay. Whatever intelligence and preventive measures the PNP and institutional private guards are doing, bad people are constantly looking for loopholes. That is why whatever we learn in

our safety seminars must constantly be updated because the whole stuff looks like a game of basketball.

The PNP has its own strategies, the bad people also have theirs.

Personally I practice personal security procedures even though I am just a Lifestyle editor and therefore not an “endangered journalist.” For instance, there are several routes leading to our house and I get to choose which route to take at a particular date.

I also vary the time each day of emerging from our house and going back. It’s the nature of my job after all. Sometimes, there are dawn coverages. Some-

times, there are luncheons.

And sometimes, I get to return home at 2 in the morning. Sometimes, I get home as early as 3 p.m. It’s definitely unpredictable.

Then there’s countersurveillance which is kinda exciting. Because I’m wearing glasses, I have some advantage of seeing whatever’s behind me. Detecting a trail is not just about looking back. Sometimes you use periphery. Or a glass door. Or a mirror. Or the panicky look of someone across you which means there is danger behind. If there are trees ahead of you, sometimes you look up to see if there’s a falling mango fruit or worse

Special Gospel of the day: Luke12:1321 (December7, 2014-Sunday) Luke 12:13-21-Someone in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the family inheritance with me.” But He said to him, “Man, who appointed Me a judge or arbitrator over you?” Then He said to them, “Beware, and be on your guard against every form of greed; for not even when one has an abundance does his life consist of his possessions.” And He told them a parable, saying, “The land of a rich man was very productive.

“And he began reasoning to himself, saying, `What shall I do, since I have no place to store my crops?’ “Then he said, This is what I will do: I will tear down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. `And I will say to my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years to come; take your ease, eat, drink and be merry.”’ “But God said to him, `You fool!

This very night your soul is required of you; and now who will own what you have prepared?’

stores up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God: The person came to Jesus was a victim of injustice from his brother. The image of the gospel is realistic since there are unequal distribution of wealth and injustices around us. The good point of this person is, he came to Jesus for helps.
