While I was struggling tonight and not able to sleep for some reason, I started thinking about my conversation with one of our new agents today in regards to how it all started for me in Real Estate...I could see it in her eyes how she was really excited while listening to what I have to say about my own experiences and how I could also still remember myself being in her position before.

Those days were great moments and I do remember the time when I couldn't stop thinking and imagining on getting my first listing and my first yard sign. At the same time, I had all the ideas and expectations on how this business can work for me and for the people that I will be providing services to...but somehow along the way, while going thru the process and started helping people as I see how it should be done, I was taken so much by how it really affected people's lives.

I realized that being in Real Estate and experiencing the process of helping people in this industry had made me do things that I never thought of doing for people's sake. This industry had opened my eyes on how great it can be for others, for my family and for myself. It really changed my whole prospective about life in general. It is truly about how much you care, how much you want to change for others, it is about relationship, collaboration, and most of all is how much it makes you a better person in every aspect of life.

As beautiful as it can be, it is and will be hard for people to expect these things to know and to believe without truly experiencing the beauty of this business. It takes a lot of risk and a lot of heart for most people to even start in this business. Some people come into this business and ended up getting out early. And because of this, they already lost a chance to experience and see how great it can be for them. They will need people on their side dedicatedly guiding them, inspiring and educating them at the same time so they can go thru the struggles and frustrations so that they can finally experience the beautiful side of this business.

This industry has given me so much to be happy about. I can also say that I am in-love with this industry and I am very proud to say it out loud.... REAL ESTATE CAN MAKE YOU A BETTER PERSON...

Agents having a tough time showing homes during this rainy weather while buyers are unstoppable of wanting to see homes and eager to make an offer. I am all covered up with my winter coat trying to not get sick but it is very difficult to say No to buyers that are so motivated to see homes. They feel that the asking price is so good to just sit at home and not take advantage of this great opportunity.

I have a client that they are now specifically targeting Riverside for a lot of good deals. They deal with large investment on residential market. They work with statistics and historical trends. I do believe that they are in the right direction for they have done a lot of research. This is really good for the community and for business people.

For you out there, I am available for you rain or shine and if you have the urge of wanting to see homes, we can definitely accomodate your needs.

Take care and have a great home shopping.

TO ALL MY FRIENDS...MY FAMILY AND I WILL BE GOING TO PALM SPRING TO STAY IN A REALLY NICE LUXURIOUS HOTEL AND WATCH MY DAUGHTER COMPETE ON HER TENNIS TOURNAMENT. I WOULD LIKE TO SEND MY GREETINGS TO ALL OF YOU...AND HOPE THAT YOU DO SPEND YOUR TIME WITH YOUR LOVED ONES...IN A VERY MEMORABLE WAY... HAVE A GREAT VALENTINE'S DAY!

I know that we have all these great wineries in Temecula but if you don't want to drive and just want to relax, DUDLEY'S WINE & GIFTS is a great place for it. Located at 40675 Murrieta Hot Springs Rd. #B5 next to Richie's Diner. The owners, Eric and his wife Christina are great people to know. They know so much about the history of wine in all different countries.

So if you are up for learning about wine. This is the place to learn. Their store is so adorable that you'll find a lot of great wines and accessories for gifts. Every Friday they have happy hour and I had the experience of meeting people that regularly go there and met some professional chefs who bring food for people to taste.

Don't miss this great place. Check it out and hopefully you get to see me there too.

Last night, we attended a Wine Tasting gathering at Wine & Gifts with about 20 people. I ordered this 100 Lumpia (Egg rolls with meat) at TIPANAN ASIAN BISTRO located at 28326 Front St. in Temecula California. Everyone was so happy with this food and was asking where it came from. They all asked me if I made it and I said I wish I can claim it because it is really that good.

So if you were in town, check this small Filipino restaurant owned by 2 sisters who serves great homemade food. The restaurant is very small but the quality of food is amazing. You can even ask for FRESH fried TILAPIA (fish) when you go there to eat. They cook it well and they are huge in size for such a great price.

Looking for the best Lumpia in town...Check them out and maybe you'd see me there eating too.
