Ooops, my IP address got blocked!

What are the things that consummate your patience today? Have you been telling yourself lately, “is this the price I have to pay after all the hard work?” How much are you willing to still give in?

I guess, I am a couple of times.

Having a bad day is not a valid reason why not to write. I tried to believe so. I really tried to put up a clear picture of everything into perspective.

It is something within my nature to keep on trying even though I cringed at uncertainties at times. At least, you are not giving up.

Breathe.
Until everything clears.

I finally found the perfect match!

Sounds quite intriguing, I haven’t found the perfect match yet in life. No pun intended. But it could be this one. I’m talking about my new blog header. I just thought it was time to freshen up things a little bit. Yesterday, I was tired of playing around online so I started to create a few tryouts on any saved photo and putting on a customize text since my knowledge when it comes to graphic art is limited. So far, the feedback is not bad.


Sometimes, good things in life come unplanned.

What do you think?

The awakenings

Buzzzzz! Yes, I'm here. I've never been anywhere else. Since the time I woke up it seems that my mind is bound to do something else here and there. The tension of opposite where am I like how do I get everything started. The moment the morning sun awaken me, it sends me off an automatic radiating ball of energy even though at times it does give me a hard time to get on my shoes. Pronto, I'm ready!



In a typical days like this, I love working on my little writing sessions. My cozy little corner on the side were always composed of a wooden sofa, two pillows on the side so that I can rest my back on, a mini black painted glassy center table where I placed a bamboo centerpiece and a bottle of water to quench my thirst from time to time.

Basically, my space is pretty much open to anything. The everyday laughter, musings, noisy chattering of people where I mostly get my inspiration when I badly needed it. Who would have thought I am easily distracted at times but I never show it. I think as we got a little year older, we learn to take things as it is, we learn to embrace the shortcomings of others and even keeping it to our self and more forgiving as well.

You must give me a little credit for that.


Breathe.
It takes time to have a little patience.
Just breathe when all else fails.

The new arrivals!

There's something about the new arrival of the newlyborn kittens in the house, it never failed to bring joy and excitement. Here it is some of the photos from last night:




I am totally missing (my) broke camera well it used it to be own by everyone in the house. Since I have no choice. This is all taken out from my eagerness to preserve the precious moments.

Laugh out loud.
Breathe.
Live life to the fullest.

Wake up everyone with a purpose.

Finally, I manage to get out of my cave - of course with a little help from my friends.

The night before today feels just almost what I am doing right now. I've spent long hours opening and closing my eyes and yet I still couldn't SLEEP! I think this is what you get when your mind is pretty much preoccupied with the occurrences of the day so the tendency your system doesn't sink in the notion that you are ready to be fully asleep. Have you ever felt that before?

(Past forward...)

WTS focus: On the Youth (Spiritual Growth, Maturity & other factors)

I've never been moved like this for so long. You would just know those study articles that would just hit you on the right spot at the right place and at the right time.

I must have all the right to say that maybe because I was born in this generation of kids who knew more than their parents when they are at their age. It is said that in this generation, we have the technology, the luxury and the best of both worlds everything in our hands. And it is that we can almost grasp it until we become slaves of our own thirst and hunger for whatever we can think of.

We go for it and we tend to fight for it. But for whatever reason you may conquer the world it is still nonsense. It doesn't have any difference in a man continually living without understanding and knowing its purpose. As it is said in 1 John 2:17:

:"The world is passing away - so is its desire of the flesh and the desire of the eyes and the showy display of one’s means of life — does not originate with the Father, but originates with the world.

Does the picture say it all? What do you think?

Wake up everyone with a purpose!

Examine me and know my disquieting thoughts...

Once again, it's Saturdays. I always love the weekends like this. Who wouldn't love it, anyway? But not the weather.

Feels like it's one of those days when it seems that you haven't got the nerve to get up and you just want to stay in bed the whole day. Just blame it on the weatherman!

Search through me, O God, and know my heart.
Examine me, and know my disquieting thoughts,

And see whether there is in me any painful way,
And lead me in the way of time indefinite.
-Psalm 139:23-24


Someone just randomly tweet asking, "where in the world are YOU today?" In case you might be wondering... News Flash: I've haven't got new stories to tell. Nothing pretty much at all. I've got nothing much to say except I'm not satisfied tweaking this header blog theme every now and then. It looks as though everything doesn't fit in. I was thinking of a classy font that goes my theme sadly I'm still unsuccessful.

Other than that, I'm stuck somewhere no better and no worse. I think that's best way to describe it. So far life is great. Would you believe that?

Probably, it's a good thing not to sweat for the little things. There are moments we just have to learn how to take things as it is. Easier said than done, I know. I've been through it and you are too. Most of the time I'm having a a hard time to reminding myself all over again...

Truthful Words

I didn't wrote this one.. How I wish I did.

Be grateful for the freedom to see other dreams. Bless your loneliness as much as you drank of your former companionships. All that you are experiencing now, will become moods of future joys. So bless it all. Do not think your way superior to another's. Do not venture to judge, but see things with fresh and open eyes. Do not condemn, but praise when you can, and when you can't, be silent.

Time now is a gift for you. A gift of freedom to think and remember and understand the ever perplexing past and to recreate yourself anew in order to transform time.

Live while you are alive. Learn the ways of silence and wisdom. Learn to act, learn a new speech. Learn to be what you are in the seed of your spirit. Learn to free yourself from all the things that have moulded you and which limit your secret and undiscovered road.

Remember that all things which happen to you are raw materials. Endlessly fertile. Endlessly yielding of thoughts that could change your life and go on doing so forever.

Never forget to pray and be thankful for all things good or bad on the rich road; for everything is changeable so long as you live while you are alive.

Fear not, but be full of light and love. Fear not, but be alert and receptive. Fear not, but act decisively when you should. Fear not, but know when to stop. Fear not, for you are loved by me. Fear not, for death is not the real terror, but life magically is.

Be joyful in your silence, be strong in your patience. Do not try to wrestle with the universe, but be sometimes like water or air, sometimes like fire, and constant like the earth.

Live slowly, think slowly, for time is a mystery. Never forget that love requires always that you be the greatest person you are capable of being, self-regenerating and strong and gentle--your own hero and star.

Love demands the best in us. To always and in time overcome the worst and lowest in our souls. Love the world wisely.

It is love alone that is the greatest weapon and the deepest and hardest secret.

So fear not, my friend. The darkness is gentler than you think. Be grateful for the manifold, dreams of creation, and the many ways of the unnumbered peoples.

Be grateful for life as you live it. And may a wonderful light always guide you on the unfolding road.

Breathe.
Enjoy.
Live life to the fullest.

On Joy and Sorrow


Photo Courtesy of ms4jah



by Kahlil Gibran

Your joy is your sorrow unmasked.
And the selfsame well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears.
And how else can it be?
The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.
Is not the cup that holds your wine the very cup that was burned in the potter's oven?
And is not the lute that soothes your spirit, the very wood that was hollowed with knives?
When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy.
When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.

Some of you say, "Joy is greater thar sorrow," and others say, "Nay, sorrow is the greater."
But I say unto you, they are inseparable.
Together they come, and when one sits, alone with you at your board, remember that the other is asleep upon your bed.

Verily you are suspended like scales between your sorrow and your joy.
Only when you are empty are you at standstill and balanced.
When the treasure-keeper lifts you to weigh his gold and his silver, needs must your joy or your sorrow rise or fall.

RIP Kuya Charlie

See you soon in paradise,

Just something to talk about...

I've always been a believer of hopeful things to come whenever the day turns out to be not exactly the way I wanted it to be. Pretty much just like today. I guess, that's the way I learned how to console myself and somehow the same way my mom always told me to do so. Most of the time, I've tried questioning things which in the end I end up regretful for being misunderstood at times. Maybe I'm just being myself. The same way I'm trying to cope up with the feeling of uncertainty which usually comes at the unexpected time. And it lingers and never goes away...

Talk soon,

One confession:

I haven't sleep yet since last night..

the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak

Darn for all the days of absence in blogging and for doubting myself at times. But on the lighter side, absence is not all bad. I'm doing a series of naps or sleeps whatever you call it, in the afternoon curling up with a good book and it really increases my appetite for anything nonsense that goes through the day. How about that? I don't know if it really matters for doing me any good.

It's just that there are days when I felt like I'm stuck somewhere that I can't nearly start my day right off to where I wanted it to be. As they say, the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak so I'm trying to convince myself that everyday is worth a try no matter what holds you of doing the last time.

I notice that since this month has started I haven't done any new pages yet on Squidoo or more often than not I'm not nearly done on updating those previous 80+ pages. It's not that I'm in a hurry myself or anything I just hope I wasn't neglecting in anything not just in Squidoo rather most especially in the so-called 'real-life outside'.

I'm sure I do all have the time. No, I'm not that bored. I'm actually enjoying the loads of stuff I'm learning on the way and the more I work on learning new things I learned that it is meant to be earned that way and that there is no such thing as tough things in life that you cannot do when you have eagerness and determination.

At the end of the day, you only got yourself not to compare with others but to trust that voice within yourself that you can do even the hardest things you thought you cannot do...
