spare time

I remember what I have heard from one of Jacky Chan's movie, "Being still and doing nothing are two different things".....

I guess it is true...

I may not be doing a lot of things lately (physically) but I am thinking a lot! How ironic! And things keep on running on my mind. I can't make them stop..They keep on coming and overflowing...

I am still...but my mind keep on working. Thinking, over thinking. I have these tendencies to over analyze things which made me feel troubled.

I am worrying too much, which I think I should be not.

I need to start moving..stop thinking and keep on going..

I can do this. this feeling will pass... you can too. If you are feeling the same, surely it will pass..

Just keep on going. Act now.. You can do it! l(^_^)

~No happy ending~

There's no happy ever after but there's a forever.
Lately, I am hearing different love stories from different people. 
I learned that there is a forever. But there is no happy ending.
I don't believe in happy ever after but I believe in 'forever'.

(Below are words that rather be unsaid...)
I know we cannot be together. 
We cannot be in the same place and in the same time.
Things may get complicated if we will be together.
Friendship maybe broken and ties can be cut.
I'd rather be like this so that I can still hold on to this. 

A feeling that still continues but I know I'll get there. 
My feeling will fade away, I know it will happen.
I am here, will be waiting for you but not forever.
I will be here thinking of you but not for so long. 
All I can do is to remember. 
Remember the memories that are 'forever'. 
Memories that will be our ground to meet, our time to be together.

There really people who loves each other but 
cannot be together and there are people who are 
together but they don't love each other. 
There might no 'happy ending' but I know there will be a 'forever' for us. 

Sino nga ba ang mga taong aking iboboto sa darating na eleksyon?

Sa aking paglalakbay pauwi sa aming tahanan ako'y  may napagnilay-nilayan. Sino nga ba ang mga taong aking iboboto sa darating na eleksyon?

1. taong mag-iisabatas ng Konkretong sahod (fix salary) ng mga karpintero. Taong tutulong sa mga empleyadong kontraktwal (ang kontrata)

2. taong mag-iisabatas na bawal magtapon ng  basura kung saan-saan. (may kasamang matinding implementasyon)

3. Taong kailangan ng mga Pilipino at Pilipinas ay hindi pala taong tutulong sa mga kapwa nya Pilipino at mahal ang Pilipinas (tutulong sa kapwa upang maiangat ang pamumuhay hindi pamimigay lang ng pera)

4. Isang taong puro aksyon hindi puro salita

5. Taong may konsensya at may paninindigan

6. Isang maglilingkod at hindi naghihintay paglingkuran

7. Taon kasing sipag nga mga Pilipinong kumakayod araw-araw.

8. Taong naiintindihan kung paano ang mag-commute, sumakay ng jeep, mag mrt/lrt/PNRC, taksi, tricycle/pedicab, bisekleta, habal-habal, ro-ro, barko, at iba pa.. Pero ang higit sa lahat isang tao na naiintindihan ang mga taong naglalakad sa mga kalsada ng Maynila, sa gilid ng EDSA, sa mga bangketa at tumatawid ng mga ilang bundok upang makarating sa pinaroroonan.

9. Taong may respeto sa kapwa Pilipino at sa sariling bayan.

10. Isang taong may pagpapahalaga sa mga kabataang pinoy ngayon at iisipan ang kanilang kinabukasan at ng bansa.

Wala akong pakialam kung ikaw ay artista, sikat o hindi, mayaman o simpleng mamamayan, may itsura o wala, nasa ilalim ng isang dinastiya ng pulitika, o isang taong nais tumulong sa pagbabago upang umunlad tayong lahat, ang sa akin lang basta ikaw ay tunay na magsisilbi sa kapwa mo at sa bayan- marahil ikaw ang boboto ko! At kung tatakbo ka lang at hindi mo alam ang ang iyong silbi at gagawin, aba ngayon pa lang mag-isip isip ka na o hindi kaya 'wag ka na lang tumuloy pa?

♥ Midnight Love ♥

It's been a quite period of time

When I couldn't feel you're alive.

Your existence became a question

Like I've been out of your life.

I couldn't let this time to pass

When I can talk to you about our past.

So many things to say

Yet my mouth cannot convey.

It feels like a mystery 

Because it is still - YOU

That I can't dismiss

Maybe it is still you

Who I cannot neglect.

Tonight I feel loved

I feel sheltered by you.

And I hope it will continue

That you and I still intertwined.

I always look forward to this night

For your appearance before my eyes

Please hear my wishful heart

To be with you this time.

I have this feeling when the sun arrives

You will disappear in my sight.

Like the daylight is my foe

Because you will leave without a goodbye.

The moonlight is my way to you

The night is our chance to escape

If I could just talk to the moon

And tell him not to depart.

I guess this is the only thing we have

Midnight is our precious time

I will wait and wait

For this once in a blue moon love.

Bend, but don't break

REFLECTION:

There are times that we will fall

We can break into pieces

And no one will know

There are times that we will cry

To stop is hard to try

Sometimes when we’re trouble

We feel lost and we tremble

Sometimes we just want to hide

And escape all the lies

All the pain, the hurt and anger we have

We do things just to cover what’s inside.

We sometimes turn around

Choose a wrong turn

That will make us different

And feel like there’s no turning back

Yes we will fall, and we will be lost

But all you need is to be strong

Stand up, and fight

‘Cause everything will be alright

Life is unfair, yes my dear

Everyone knows, which I think

It makes it fair to all

That is the wonder of what we call – Life.

Fall but after, stand tall

Get lost but find your way

Be mad but don’t be bad

Struggle but still mingle

Leave but still live

Cry but always try

Yes, bend but don’t break

Someone will help you up

He’ll catch you and take

All the weary that you carry

He is there and he’ll tell you

That dear, this is the WAY.

I just can't get enough ♥

I'm still on high because of the homily last Sunday. I feel so different and so good. That Sunday really made me felt that, "Hey, it's February and it's the LOVE month". It made me welcome this month with a big smile and a big heart. I want to share beautiful passages that touched my heart. Warning: you will see a lotttttttttttttt of loooovveee in this entry. ^-^

LOVE IS MYSTERIOUS

Jeremiah 1:4-5

     The word of the Lord came to me, saying: "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you. A prophet to the nations I appointed you."

- I learned that you can love anybody. You can a love a stranger that you can meet anywhere at anytime. And if ever you will feel so empty and unloved, there is someone up there who really loved you even before you were born. 

LOVE IS IMPERATIVE

1 Corinthians 12:31-13:13

Now eagerly desire the greater gifts.

And yet I will show you the most excellent way.

If I speak in the tongues[a] of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,[b] but do not have love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

- Everything will be useless without LOVE. I learned that even we do good acts to others but if we don't have an open and giving heart, everything will be worthless. They will not matter to HIM if we don't do it with LOVE. 

LOVE IS ACCEPTANCE

Luke 4;21, 24-27

He began by saying to them, “Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”

“Truly I tell you,” he continued, “no prophet is accepted in his hometown. 25 I assure you that there were many widows in Israel in Elijah’s time, when the sky was shut for three and a half years and there was a severe famine throughout the land. 26 Yet Elijah was not sent to any of them, but to a widow in Zarephath in the region of Sidon. 27 And there were many in Israel with leprosy[a] in the time of Elisha the prophet, yet not one of them was cleansed—only Naaman the Syrian.”

- In this passage, I learned that when you love someone, you learn how to be selfless. You can sacrifice anything for someone you cherish the most. I learned that the solution for anger is LOVE. There will be no doubt and fear when you LOVE. ACCEPTANCE comes along with this four letter word; when we love someone, we accept who that person is...no matter what and who he/she is. 

“One word

Frees us of all the weight and pain of life:

That word is love.” 

― Sophocles
