At times when I travel just by myself, a blow of many dreams like omen gets through my mind.

When I walk inside the airport and see people rushing to the gates of the plane, I see faces of excitement or…. anxiety. ? I don’t know how each people feel, all I know is that many of us inside the airport have dreams unfinished, anxieties to address, dreams to fulfill.

I get inspired, really inspired to write when I look at the window of the plane and look several feet below; discover the forms clouds which cover the houses and bodies of water. Why inspired? I relate it to our dreams. The distance of the plane and the ground separated by the clouds are like dreams we always wanted to finish, yet, there are limitations. There are plenty of ways to uncover our dreams, the thing is, we need to learn not to ever ever quit. There are dreams unfulfilled but are meant to be finished.

It is the desire of every human being to become rich, to become famous, to become the boss they always dreamed of, maybe a businessman, or the next Henry Sy or Lucio Tan…. But for these things to happen, we have to learn to become passionate with the things we do. Based on statistics, the characteristic common to all successful people is PASSION. Without it, our actions will never produce very good results.

Passion is an art, and we can only learn the art if we are whole heartedly devoted to our dreams. Dreams will always be there, will always be a part of our everyday lives, some fulfilled, some yet to be fulfilled and some yet to be discovered… the thing here is, whatever dreams we have, just be passionate about it and you are making a prophecy of the person you will yet discover… yourself.

Update: I’m still in the airport, my flight is 45minutes delayed. I have a choice now, to be frustrated or not to become frustrated. … hmm.. and so I choose to be not to… life is about waiting after all

Today I learned that what keeps relationships intact is communication. Without it, love is not authentic. Communication brings faith, and these two are the products of love, and love alone.

At times, people will just keep their mouth shut than conveying what they feel for the person they love. More so, keep it for the rest of their lives. In my case, I don’t intend to keep it, it’s just that, I just want to say things out loud when I am ready, but at the end of the day, I still commune. Some people would just bluntly express what they feel, but some would wait for the perfect time. While others forever. Whichever way, it is always important to have courage to tell people what you feel, for it always worth it. And I do believe in that.

As I keep on exchanging stories with friends, I learned that broken relationships root, of course, from different situations. Broken relationships happen because of different circumstances. But the very thing common to it all, is the failure of any of the couple involved tokeep each other and failure to fight for the love they feel. Hence, making the love called forever “not so” forever

. On one note, when love is replaced by hatred, that is the time, love becomes irrelevant. Relationships are always complicated, sometimes, even more complicated that we thought. But what is important is that you let the other party know where you are coming from, how you feel and what both of you can do about it… you love each other after all… it’s love that matters to each..

At the end of the day, while I’m sipping coffee at the nearby street, I realized that the gift of love hypes the feelings or emotions and make us float. Love? I thank God for it….

I just want to share these tips. After a long long day I realized that it’s always best to take things lightly.. a smile is worth 365 happy days…  and nothing beats the love of God…

TIPS FOR BETTER LIFE

1. Take a 10-30 minutes walk every day. And while you walk, smile.
2. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day.
3. Sleep for 7 hours.
4. Live with the 3 E’s — Energy, Enthusiasm, and Empathy.
5. Play more games.
6. Read more books than you did in 2008.
7. Make time to practice meditation, yoga, and prayer. They provide us
with daily fuel for our busy lives.
8. Spend time with people over the age of 70 & under the age of 6.
9. Dream more while you are awake.
10. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that
is manufactured in plants.
11. Drink plenty of water.
12. Try to make at least three people smile each day.
13. Don’t waste your precious energy on gossip.
14. Forget issues of the past. Don’t remind your partner with his/her
mistakes of the past. That will ruin your present happiness.
15. Don’t have negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead
invest your energy in the positive present moment.
16. Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems
are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra
class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.
17. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a
beggar.

19. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. Don’t hate others.
20. Don’t take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
21. You don’t have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
22. Make peace with your past so it won’t spoil the present.
23. Don’t compare your life to others’. You have no idea what their
journey is all about. Don’t compare your partner with others.
24. No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
25. Forgive everyone for everything.
26.. What other people think of you is none of your business.
27.Do your daily prayers.
28. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
29. Your job won’t take care of you when you are sick. Your friends
will. Stay in touch.
30. Get rid of anything that isn’t useful, beautiful or joyful.
31. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
32. The best is yet to come.
33. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
34. Do the right thing!

36. Your inner most is always happy. So be happy.
37. Each day give something good to others.
38. Don’t over do. Keep your limits.
39. When you awake alive in the morning, thank GOD for it.

40. Please Forward this to everyone you care about.

it is the fear of the unknown which makes us feel so apprehensive. It is the fear of the things you don’t know that makes your heart pumps so fast….

it makes you shiver when you feel so restless thinking about tomorrow. Thinking how you are going to face tomorrow while your heart is trembling and shaken. Never in our lifetime will you be able to face these things 101% with courage, but then, I realize, God is always bigger than our circumstances. Anyhow, we are just human beings encouraged to make mistakes, encouraged to feel such fears…so that these unknowns maybe be explored, right there and then we will learn.

Its just that, i fear that one day i die without the world hearing what I want to be listened for… without the love of my life hear what I have always wanted to live for … that is to live for him til the rest of my life.. and that i do things for him.. not for me…

dang love, makes you so weak…it makes our life turn upside down.. exciting, hurting, but sweeter…:p

just thinkin’ about it is an emotional torture ?

For quite some time I believed that giving chances will never worth it. I have thought about it several times and promised myself to not to give 2nd chances to people who have hurt me or people who never deserve some chance at all.

Chances are mysteries that you wouldn’t know unless you try it. Chances are opportunities that when you miss you cannot make up in time. Chances are bits and pieces of the whole life we have.. its life that we make, relationships, friends, time, money, not failures, not mistakes.. it is the chance of love that only the inevitable can fathom.

Chances that only the two of you can comprehend because you have a life together apart from the world…

Chances, so complex but simple. So scary but sweeter than thorns.

Chances.. i so love saying that word! Chance is all it takes to prove to the world that people change for good. *i hope

I have never felt sooo relaxed but now.

I just feel the breeze of being someone else’s possession.. the feeling of being loved makes me feel so so special… gosh.. am i going back on 4th grade? na ah… i just feel that love has hit me again… there are times that we feel that we are in love but we are not.. there are times that we force ourselves to love but we can’t….

But now, mind you, the jitters, the smiles, the sound of the morning, makes me feel so alive again.. ?? oh well i dont know what else to say…

my breath falls, my heart stops beating, i can see you from here…

I won’t hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I’m sure
There’s no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I’m yours - Jason Mraz

*i have been thinkin about something to write for months, i never thought that this is the piece i have been waiting for… YOU.

I can still see the smiles we had this evening, I can still hear laughters echoing the walls of Don henricos, I can still smell the pizza and pasta.. gosh! i missed my friends…

If we want to have a happy life then we should give time to people who makes us happy..

I love it when we talk .. we’re like mature people walking with our Grade 1 brains laughing about little things … it may be no sense at all but it matters to each one of us… the feeling of being together has always make me feel so loved and special.

I realized that giving time to people we value a lot strengthens that LOVE which makes every person feel the "BELONGINGNESS" . It ’s like they serve as your support group in matters concerning every aspect of your life…  Every opinion counts, every tear matters, every smile is important and every penny is worth nothing compared to being together …. just together.. sitting at the corner of Starbucks laughing out loud…

gosh… i am super blessed with these friends, so blessed that I want to be with them again … soon.. If I’d be given one wish, Id ask God to give me this SAME life again… oh yes! I can picture it, my family and friends who made me who I am now.. Same old life, toxic but sweet…..

life is about relationships…. yes it is…

25 long years of being lost.

Today is my birthday. I used to think that I don’t know what I want to do with my life. I used to tell myself
that I don’t know who I want to become in the next few years to come. I
remember vividly, how my English professor asked me and left me in awe,- yes
until now -  about this question which
you might have heard a lot of times. She asked - in a mock interview – in preparation for our
first job application, “How do you see yourself 10 years from now?”, of course
I answered confidently, ( I was 18 years old back then) “I see my self as one
of the executives of one the biggest companies in the Philippines. I’d probably
have my own family, married to a loving husband blah blah.” Gosh, I can’t
believe I said that haha.

 We picture life as something
ideal and perfect.” Life” could never ever be one perfect world with people
like us who are imperfect. We will keep on missing the shot and made a
slip.  It is just a matter of what we do with that slip and how
we move forward

 I am not one
of the executives of one of the biggest companies in the

Philippines

but one day, our company will be, and one day, I will be one of the biggest
names in the country. Too big for a dream eh? No, I believe that dreaming big does
not define our confidence or courage. Dreaming big defines a pure heart who
wants his life a lot better than the life before. A heart that is full of
substance. A heart full of hope…..

 I will never
say I am lost again. I maybe once, lost., but not anymore. In my heart I know
what I want to do, that is, to fulfill God’s mission through me. I want to make
every person’s life I meet to be different. I want to bring a difference in
everything that I do. I want to leave a notch in every person’s heart. I want to be remembered as someone who
brought God once in their lives.

 My existence,
in these 25 years is not enough to fulfill my dreams, at the time of my death,
these dreams might not reach a hundred and one percent fulfilled, but at least, I
am confident that I have started to become a victor.

 
As Andrew
Carnegie puts it - The position a person occupies in the world depends on the
quantity and quality of the service he render plus the mental attitude which
he relates to others.

  When everyone would falter, I will conquer.

Happy Birthday to me!… I am super
blessed with family and friends who remember my day. God be with you all.. I
will never find another imperfect life with imperfect ones but loving and
caring as you..

 
I have found myself.. at last…
