Life. We choose.

Story of our lives. I believe the hardships, losses & beatings would make me tough and wise. Cheers to a happy, simple & glorious God-above-all life! Long live! ☺

Thanks again Madam Marlene Lacayanga-Venissat for sharing…just when I needed a reminder. Such a very inspiring story. My path to go ☺

Start of story
A long time ago, there was an Emperor who told his horseman that if he could ride on his horse and cover as much land area as he likes, then the Emperor would give him the area of land he has covered. Sure enough, the horseman quickly jumped onto his horse and rode as fast as possible to cover as much land area as he could. He kept on riding and riding, whipping the horse to go as fast as possible. When he was hungry or tired, he did not stop because he wanted to cover as much area as possible. It came to a point when he had covered a substantial area and he was exhausted and was dying. Then he asked himself, “Why did I pushed myself so hard to cover so much land area? Now I am dying and I only need a very small area to bury myself.”

The above story is similar with the journey of our Life. We push very hard everyday to make more money, to gain more power and more recognition. We neglect our health, time with our family and to appreciate the surrounding beauty and the hobbies we enjoy. One day when we look back, we will realize that we don’t really need that much, but then we cannot turn back time for what we have missed. Life is not just about making money, acquiring power or recognition. Life is definitely not about work! Work is only necessary to earn a living so that we can enjoy the convenience and pleasures of life. Life is a balance of Work and Play, Family and Personal time. You have to decide how you want to balance your Life. Define your priorities, realize what you are able to compromise but always let some of your decisions be based on your instincts. Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of Life, the whole aim of human existence. So, take it easy. Life is fragile, Life is short. Do not take Life for granted. Live a balance lifestyle. Enjoy Life!

Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

Teardrops ☹ on my guitar is a waterfall ☺ ♪

Fake it with a smile so they won’t see ♪. We are great pretenders behind all these good thoughts and positivity we used to show the world. Arrogance! Don’t be a fool..we are no gods. As humans, we don’t know everything.

A year has passed by (no wonder why longer as it should be)…

Our hearts to my dearest ✝ Tita Julie . We know you have found genuine peace with the Lord. Forever missed…“Ole” “Ole”! “Ole”! “Ole”! ♪ (one of her nicknames)

Like a bad tattoo, inked forever. As also during this time of last year when my sunny life started to gloom into gray. DISRESPECTED. First time. Insensitive. So the hurt lingers. Bittersweet. Add me to your long-list of liars and traitors. No regrets. Forgiveness. I can’t bring back that life before and I don’t want to go there anymore. For that I’m sorry. I won’t ‘cause I can’t bury them alive. But thank you and I’m in this situation. A good lesson and realization. Hope we all do.

This year, grief has been aggravated. Insensitive. Mean. THE END. (Why don’t you just take away the pain?)

Time to move on…I’m grateful. The weather seems lamenting with me this week as I celebrate the greatest sorrow in my life. As the story continues and looms, thank you for some who truly know and understand where I’m coming from… Again thank you sincerely for sticking with me. ☺

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life”
John 3:16

We all cry when we were born. At that very moment we already know that life in this world is full of miseries. (Homily last Sunday 08.28.2011) I’m not afraid. Just like Jesus (no question as He chose to carry and die on the cross), I have to face,endure and beat all the sufferings this harsh world has to offer. In the end, eternal rest will be granted. I’m truly blessed!

“The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it. ”
~ W.M. Lewis

…let those tears be a waterfall…

From a blog somewhere in cyberspace:

…A person’s tired from work or daily activities at a dusk; he returns to his house, turns up his favorite music, lays in a couch, immerses himself in the music and keeps the world outside. He just needs a rest. He may run into some troubles but still loves this world, loves the new generation and his life. He has his own “heaven”, “cathedrals” and “flag” in his heart, which makes him face his life and stick to it.

“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.”
-Matthew 7:7 / Luke 11:9

Pit Señor! There’s so much of an endearing story about me and my dearest relationship with the Child Jesus (statue on the background)… Always missing the good old childhood days (is it only me?).

…Miracles do happen. Prayers really work. I strongly believe. (but more importantly give the best in everything and live His Word)

P.S. My mamee thought me this prayer when I was still a kid in school:
“O dear God, so loving and kind. Help me to be good and help me to be kind. I promise dear God that I will be good. Help little Renato, a good child of thine.” Amen.

Cooling Down

Untouchable…

burning brighter the sun…it’s like a million little stars…

“Hindi hawak ng mga bituin ang ating kapalaran. Gabay lamang sila. Meron tayong free will, gamitin natin ito.”

They say that horoscopes are too general in nature that’s why it’s easy for us to relate. I’m now too sleepy to search for a youtube clip of today’s UKG’s Zodiac by Zen, funny thing is, coincidentally, it matched my outlook that have somehow led to B.S.-ness in my life (recently). Exact phrase I can remember is “Protect yourself from yourself”…meaning I should learned to say NO. Huwag maging uto-uto at madaling umo-O sa kung anuman ang sabihin sa yo. Huwag maging masyadong maging mabait at baka mapahamak ka. This is noted…I promise to bring back my old self…but still ..stay humble…

Speaking of humility, Happy Birthdays again to Inay (who’s now in Heaven) & Madam Gwen! Peace be with you!…

40 days. So fast.

…we pray that you are in Paradise with Our Father, the Son & the Holy Ghost

Someday, somewhere here, I’ll be buried where the grass is green…

Thank you ‘Ta Julie, continue to watch over us…

…pause

…to forget worries for a while…

…nanganganib na computer box ang sira ni Leona-H…oh mah gulay… :(

…stop the curse…stop cursing…

mag-do-DOTA ng ina na muna… ;)

On giving up…

What’s with September?…

…at the end of mine, hoping to see my Tita Julie thru Heaven’s door. It would be a feast serving your specialty dishes! Sangria ala Julieta!
- a friendly reminder to those who care to read: ♥ your liver. let yourselves be screened & vaccinated against killer Hepa B or C. Google it. It’s merciless.

…photo booth quit for now. yeah quicker than I thought it would. but I hope I can start anew…

…work, little light shining…thank you to my truly dearly beloveds…you know who you are…thank you for the support.

…3 years after Leona-H’s heart transplant, main relay of computer box broke down just last Wednesday. My ninong’s son, who’s now a mechanic of a car company, diagnosed that it is not an EFI malfunction. I should believe him saying it would only cost me 2x a thousand for a surplus…or else…honestly I almost give her up…boosts to dream of a family car Innova or even a muscular car-truck Navarra

these are just a few of my negative sentiments, and let me release them [ I know there are multitude who’s suffering big time ]…Blessed are they [Matthew 5. 1-12]…

…in the end, it’s your family you can depend on…i owe them a lot…pls grant me a long break [& some money too] to spend some time…

Great feeling to sneak a moment…

…tragedy…pls. don’t let us down….
