The Scars

Sometimes you have to fall from the mountain to realize what you are climbing for.  Obstacles are placed in our way to see if what we want is really worth fighting for.  From every wound there's a scar, and every scar tells a story.  A story that says, "I've been through it all, and I made it."

Have you ever wondered why there are people who are so afraid to sing, play and perform in front?  Or they seemed to be not interested at all with what people are achieving? 

I hope this blog would make sense… coming from someone who had actually been there.  The biggest mistake I made in my life is throwing every dream I have in the air until someone or something will bring me back the passion and the drive to fulfill it.  I have developed an attitude that has gotten tired of sharing what I love doing and proving to my parents what I can do.  I am disoriented that I had the power to entertain other people with my known gifts and yet, the world didn't allow me then to pursue it. 

That's why it's a big waste to still try it out knowing that nothing's gonna happen after fighting for it. 

I rest that case already.  I'm out to do what I want.  I'll soon be popping out in these two fields… Trying my luck again in the coming PYP songwriting contest and in two sports that I'll be engaging myself with… Muay Thai and Flag Football hehehe.  This is the start… Mmmbop!  Whatta nice life!  Race for your dreams!!!

World Alienation

Have you noticed there are a lot of world signs of "alienation"?

Visit the bookstore, you'll find a wide range of books on "Finding purpose", "In Pursuit of Happiness", "Achieving Inner Victory", etc.  In Music stores, a wide range of "Meditative Songs" from local and foreign artists.  In personal development seminars, they are now branching into a more soulful talks.

In theatrical plays, topics range from Knowing Thy Self, Appreciating Life, People and Events, Near-death experiences, etc.

Life is fast-changing and fast-paced that it tend to ignore what our life really needs… appreciation of simple things and simple blessings and simple being.

Everytime I see signs of world alienation, I can't help but be sad.  That I belong to this generation that "simple appreciation and inner purpose identification" are being relied on books, wisdom of others, alternative meditative music and yoga.

I may be physically fit but I know this world makes my inner soul deteriorates.

Just when I have time to do whatever it is that fulfills the needs and longings of my soul, I grab it.  You may find it "weird" but for me, it's everything.

I see every single detail with purpose. This generation is a continued battle.  You win not by getting material gains but more importantly, by surviving in this era that you remain complete, morals are still intact and faith in God has never been shaken.

In the end, the true measure of how worth it you have lived your life, is that unshakeable faith and immeasurable love. 

Ang takdang panahon

Kilala ako ng mga kaibigan at kapamilya ko na kung magdesisyon ay parang buhawi na bigla-bigla na lang.  Pero kilala din naman ako na pag nagdesisyon… dire-diretso.

Hmm.. ano nga kaya kung bigla akong magpakasal?  Nasa tamang edad na naman.. nasa tamang huwisyo … at nararamdaman kong tama naman yung taong pwedeng pakasalan.

Hindi para maiba naman… kundi para makapagsimula na ng bagong buhay may-asawa sa panahong nararamdaman mong…. "siya na nga" at "this is it!".  Di ba nga sabi ni Popoy sa One More Chance, baka dumating na yung taong, magtatama nang maraming mali mo sa buhay.

Tiingggg!!!

Bakit ba ako lalayo pa ng tingin, ang matagal ko nang hinahanap ay pwede palang napakalapit lang sa akin at saksakan ng layo akong tumingin…

Hmmm.. maaaring pwede na nga… ganda ng wedding ring
