Tragedy in Mindanao

The flash flood brought on by Typhoon Sendong and the subsequent tragedy that befell Mindanao has left me reeling. How could it have happened in just a short time?!? It’s Ondoy all over again! I couldn’t believe the photos I’ve seen. It’s just too much considering Christmas is just 7 days away! I don’t know [...]

Life is…

I don’t think there’s someone out there who can truly say that their life is grand. No problems and only good things happening… now that would be a lie! But you know, no matter what life may bring us, we can always choose to accept it with gratitude. We can always choose to think of [...]

Personality

The quote above about personality reminded me of a TV show I watched where a couple was talking about love. The man said that in the twilight of their lives, where sex is no longer part of the equation in a relationship and physical beauty is no longer what men look for, it’s the personality [...]

Just a bend

I saw the poster above in my aunt’s Facebook wall. I thought it’s a good reminder for me who loses hope a lot these days. I must say that my faith is taking a battering the past couple of weeks. I am in a weak state right now. I am not proud of it and [...]

Worried, negative things

When you are worried, you tend to attract more negative things into your life. Have you noticed that? I do worry most of the time. I try to stop myself from worrying too much but I guess being unstable when it comes to my finances tends to lead to insecurities like I use to feel [...]

Truly loving another person…

Truly loving another means letting go of all expectations. It means full acceptance, even celebration of another’s personhood. -Karen Casey Many people, unknowingly, want their partners to change. Most claiming for the better. And yes, some are really right on the dot. But there are “quirks” in each and every one of us that are [...]

Balance in life

Life is best enjoyed when time periods are evenly divided between labor, sleep, and recreation…all people should spend one-third of their time in recreation which is rebuilding, voluntary activity, never idleness. Happy Friday everyone! Balance your life. Enjoy your day today and this weekend with your love ones. No work this weekend if possible.

At the park

Whenever I see pictures of people walking in the park, I keep wishing that there is a park here that looks the same. I mean look at the photo above. You can’t find the same park here. Or maybe there’s one but it’s in the province. I wish there’s one nearby that my family and [...]

Oh, life!

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take… but by the moments that take our breath away. Happy Wednesday to all!

A cheerful heart

I would like to think that I have a cheerful heart. Literally and figuratively. I see things through a positive eye most of the time. I try to ignore the bad things around to keep my heart as good as it can be. For Him. It’s not easy but it’s doable. I always remind myself [...]

Say it!

There was this time that I wanted to tell this person that I really care. But I was too proud. And too scare of rejection. Years later, I found out he felt the same way. Then. When we saw each other again, it was already different. For him. For me. If you love someone, you [...]

Bitter old man

I am still in touch with my old high school teacher. He was my History teacher in second year high. I am friends with him in Facebook and in every post he makes, I can see the bitterness in him. He is bitter in his personal life and career. He is so bitter that he [...]

THINK POSITIVE THOUGHTS ONLY!!!

That’s my motto for life. I want to be a positive person. I hate being angry or feeling any negative emotion. Life is too short to waste precious time feeling angry at someone not even worth a single minute of my life. Think positive thoughts only. And nothing else but that.
