Good Life
I’ve been listening to this song on repeat like I wanna sing it in a gig and spread the positivity embed upon it. From the lyrics to the chilling melody, nothing could go wrong. As I wait for the train to the office on this umid thursday morning accompanied by the blazing heat of the sun, the phones are feeding my ears with this one. Looking up and seeing the pure blue sky without any clouds to make it a bit shady, a church at my left side reminding that however bad we could be, tomorrow would really be far different from yesterday.
A friend one time told me that misery is infectious. Yes we need friends during those bad times, but mature ones can solve and stand at their own. It is better to have a friend sharing nothing but the success in life. Just be that friend who doesn’t envy. Be inspired!
9:02 am and still no train available. 8 more minutes and I will be late for the 4th time in the week. But who cares? Haha. I did my part on waking up early. Its just not meant to be on time.. Again!
Some good things are left unsaid and let the others feel the effect of it in time. You could take one for the team at the present in order to prepare them for the future. By this year I am going to be a 26 year old asshole walking day by day with a blurry vision. Then I’ll stop at 25. Its a good feeling to finally feel youre becoming more logical and knowing you have a direction. Call it quarter life crisis or whatever it is. But I have a life story to start writing the climax. The part where the best stories were told. The crossroad. The wheel. The decision as per LeBron. Fate.
I usually would post problems. Problems that to me would seem to have no solutions at all but to others is just a piece of cake waiting to be consumed and celebrate afterwards. If there would be that taste of sweet to every problem we encounter day by day tell me what is there to complain about.
Good Times. Good vibes. Good life. Good God.
Today, it turns 14
A friend and I had this good conversation and somewhat story telling of what happened back then. It suddenly struck our mind to realize that its been 14 years exactly today from the tragedy. Somehow those mistakes became the ABC’s of life to me. Something I’ve been wondering why it all happened until I saw the effect of it in our lives. We are stronger now. We have accepted the fact that life, doesn’t have a pause or stop button. No fast forward nor rewind. It just plays and goes on no matter what.
Remember when you watch a film and the writer always does leave a pointblank ending. Or a character who is suddenly taken out of the picture. The talk I had with that friend was some kind of a revealing scene. It is when I get to find out what happened that caused it to happen. It was also the part where the aftermath was told. What happened to him or her. Its the part where the story seems complete. Where I could turn off the TV and be contented with the epic film I just witnessed. The ups and downs. The climax. The tragic ending. The aftermath. And the sequel we’re shooting as of the moment to correct the plot holes of the first one and give it a happily ever after.
Now, all we can do is STILL miss you Dad!

Do you know how it feels when you are in between two lions? Even if you know you can handle the situation, the pressure still controls the scenario.
Have you ever wondered about things that you know could happen that could change the perspective of how all things look? It sucks right.
Like how the heart becames the symbol of love. It could be our feet. Our mouth. Our eyes. What’s with the heart if We feel by our touch and still the brain translates on how it is. Does that make the heart non-sense when it comes to love?
Second to air, facebook on the charts when it comes to people’s basic needs. The only place where writing on the wall is legal. As good as how it creates bonds to people is also how bad it is to ruin some. Like one slogan that I have read, “Facebook: wasting peoples lives since 2004” Does having a Facebook account makes you gain your pool of friends while draining your friendships built on ups and downs with just about 140 characters worth of status?
I enjoy sipping a cup of joe every now and then. And I usually do it fast for the past 25 years. Even if it is extremely hot. I guess I’d better start learning to pause and enjoy each sip as I empty the cup.
Its hard to be guilty to be one of those prodigal sons. But it helps. It really does. The guilt somehow reminds me that in case there’s no more hope in you, He will still provide tons of it. Just ask and the guilt will remind you that you need him. And there’s no way that He will turn his back on you.
Happy valentines day to the world!
A traditional love letter would start with “Dear Mr/Ms” so I’m starting this one with Dear You, yes you, the one ready this post. As you can see this is a write up for you to feel something different or even look back. Also this is to share some of my thoughts about love on valentines day to everyone who finds time to read this one. I just thought an open letter to the public how I felt upon reading would be something new. Well I just fell in love again.
High school was a couple of years ago, almost a decade to give emphasis. The petty quarrels. The low budget dates. The detentions. The cutting classes. The prom. The love letters. The days where we first knew love and doesn’t care but to only express it.
Valentine’s day doesn’t require someone to show love for someone. You still have to give time for yourself. Explore. Remember that nobody wants to love someone who from the first place doesn’t know how love starts. Think again, I love my wife from the day I saw her cry over love in high school. It sucks and I just can’t help but to fall in love with this girl who is crying over a failed relationship. Why? It’s maybe because I saw in her eyes what I was looking in the dictionary for so long. The answer to the question everyone of us crossed path with in our lives. “Define love?”
In my 25 years of existence, I’ve seen how love can be so powerful over one persons future. A parent caring so much for his/her child giving away everything. Even who she is. So willing to accept the supporting role in a new comers debut film entitled life. A husband trying to save a marriage. Not for the family but for himself. To keep him whole. A grandparent, trying so much not to be left out. Even if it means pushing his self to the limits of his physical abilities to become productive to send out a last call to everyone who needs to be awaken. A young lady who sacrifices her great future and career to wear an apron, gain weight and serve her family. A boy, who deserves recognition for the tremendous job he’s doing filling in the gap some people left wide open. Waking up everyday knowing the curves right ahead but never giving up knowing that he got God by his side and everything will be history. They say finding true love will take a lifetime, or maybe a half of it to find. But I say it really depends on how long will it take for someone to realize it. It could only take a month, a year or even just a blink of an eye or a wave of your hair to spark that connection between two lovers who are meant to be in each others arms when each sun set.
Some people would joke around claiming they are happy with how their life has turned around. But seriously their not. The old-fashioned-hopeless-romantic like in the movies who wait and see how destiny will lead them to the right one. There are those who thinks their contented with the temporary love they receive with their current partners who also fakes how they feel because they are afraid to be alone. The pain lovers who enjoys their pizzas topped with tears and heartaches delivered by seeing the one they love happy with somebody else. The couch potatoes who basically don’t do anything but hope and dream that one day they will be appreciated. Who will appreciate a potato anyway? And there are those, who are wise enough to use their heart to feel and their mind to interpret the language of love. Who says the heart and mind wont work together? That’s how my mind feels what my heart think it is.
Let’s all cut the stress, show some love to others. Give those smiles today to everyone and become high school students once again and say those words. “I love you”
Happy Valentines day everyone!
But of course I have mine, I love you Yhelen!
P.S. Meet me at SMSL later? 7:30 PM @ KK I’ll be waiting with some donuts.
Sunday Morning
Headphones on, Jinky singing on the background and a pool in front of me askin me to dip. But the water is cold. Now Mr. Sunshine showed up and gave some warm to the weather.
Its good to have a break like this. Free from all. As if going back to kiddo years where everything is fun. I must admit I’m a man full of stress nowadays and all I can do is accept it all. Don’t have a choice after all.
After 1pm today, break is over. But at least I had it. So I’m not wasting more time, I’m gonna go dive.
A note from Dad (at least I know he would say the same things)
To my brothers, just let the less fortunate people who never comes near to being someone called mature drown in their own doings. At the end, we’ll all laugh about it and feel so thankful that we didn’t go down that level of stupidity in our lives. Lets make our parents grateful that they raised us as individuals with lot of respect for what we believe in and to the people who deserves it. We might not be rich, but we have our values and morals that makes us more of a person.
