TEMPUS FUGIT

So I stood there for a while
I was staring blankly at the clouds
It felt like I was in a frigid zone
I stooped to hug the misery 
below my shaking knees
Ran my fingers through the grains 
of foreboding bliss
The pieces of my broken dreams

I was just here yesterday
Full of promising youthfulness
Laid bare with vulnerability
How time flies
Lot of things have changed
Many have altered and faltered fate
I closed my eyes 
as I went back to memory...

Love is...

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not 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 have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.

 

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, 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 perfection comes, the imperfect 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 childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor 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.

 

1 Corinthians 13:1-13

All For You

my random thoughts while

alone in a dark cold room

thinking about the good ol' memries

blewn by the wind

like a flower in the wilds

here's to you and you alone!



In (HIS) Love

God is Love! And Love is Powerful! It makes life! Life then becomes beautiful!

Missing You

Missing someone is more than just saying I love you. It's the feeling when you get to realize that someone has totally affected you, just because his absence makes you more fond of him. Why do you miss a person? Is it because of his smile, his personality, the way he cares for you or is it because he completes you when he is around? Either way, it is simply because you care more. It may mean a thing for him, it doesn't matter, what it signifies the most is when it totally changes your emotional and psychological aspect. When you miss someone you may cry, or you may smile, either for pleasure or for anguish and sadness, that simply means that missing someone is being described by the magnitude of your feeling and the way it changes your state. (Sigh) I miss a lot of special people in my life, and I know I couldn't do a thing to bring them back to life. All I have is memories and most of all my love for them. (Miss my mama, my nanay, tatay, popoy, and my friends.) And I do miss my old self, my childhood! What a nostalgic part of life! But life must go on. No matter what, we pay tribute to someone when we miss them. And we give ourselves freedom to live more exciting and lovely memories that we would surely miss in the future. Everything in this universe is living in its own cycle, just like life, the memories are either forgotten or relived! However, we must not forget that they are ought to happen, for us to learn. We couldn't look forward to something in the future if we don't have something in the past. Memories are mean to last or to diminish. It depends on how you want to deal with it and how it affects your life.

Loveliness of the Heart

Here I am again, writing about love. Does this simply mean I am in love? Or perhaps, just a little rekindling of the spirit..that some time in my life I feel this never ending jolt of joy! The thing is, I am in love and I want the world to know this love isn't just for that ruggedly handsome guy! This love is extending out of the boundaries and limits! This love is all about feeling the joys and pains of loving. This is truly because I had certainly fathom my world of understanding what love is. And now I would like to my this statement: I love my family, for who they are and what they have become, as they've been tested in times of trials; I love my friends, some of them are true and some are fake; I love my workmates, some are nice and some are not; I love my community in the service of God, for it brings me closer to HIM and to salvation, or if not, a heavenly taste it; I love my boyfriend for making me feel important; I love myself more now for I have come to realize my worth in sharing my love for others and the entire universe!

Some Day!

♥ Someday when I miss the world, in my thoughts and in my heart I shall miss you too..so long as I breath I want to recall every lovely memories of you and me..♥ I shall call upon the legion of heavens to protect me from this longing...for I am scared I might not be able to have it all in the end.. Φt is truly my desire to fall to my knees and beg Him to forgive me from this brokenness and woundedness, to make me whole again so I can let go of this feeling - the one that bothers me deep down in my solace state. Φ would love to love freely - I aim for perfection to love, no flaws as to express, no hustle as to begin and no pain as to gain! So let it be...forever!   T_T

Even When...

Even when the star shines out,
Even when glory dies,
Even when darkness took over..
Love will light a frail heart;
When the cold wind blows
Warm your heart with love
Hold on to good memories
Live your journey in the
      spirit of pure love
Redemption is here!

Where is that Love coming From?

It's Tuesday today. February 14, 2012. It is the so-called Valentine's day and there's nothing more that I want to feel and savor the feeling more than thanking God for having me here, giving me life and making me feel loved. And that love is enough for me to endure pains through the test of times. I am just thankful how God heard my prayer - and this is for wanting me to be an instrument of love for others.

Last night, I visited a friend in a hospital. He was lying and there was a music playing on a radio in a nearby patient's bed. I heard him sing, and I asked "Are you singing?". Obviously, he was. He seemed hurt and catching his breath as he sang. I don't remember the song, but I'm certain twas a love song.  We had some chat with his mother. And so before I left I comforted him and he started sobbing, I walked to his side to wipe his tears. And his mother went emotional too. It was such an emotional moment but I stopped myself before I would break into sobs.

As I went out of the room deep inside of me wants to cry for pity, but something holds back and it's the feeling of being thankful to God! I was so light-hearted at that moment. I feel so grateful(despite the rainy weather) to the Lord. I could not recognize much on which particular thing that I am thankful for...but my heart sings for joy! Thank you God. I feel love. I feel it is God working thru me!

Happy Valentines day to my one and only God! I love you Lord!

Stay Awake! Dream!

Here comes the new year of our life. This is another challenge ahead of us. Another period of finding and hopefully, achieving the selves that we want to become.

So, how do we start our year right?

The beat of life starts when you dream. Thus, when you stop dreaming, you stop breathing. While we don't know when our life will end, let's go dreamin! The new generation is wide awake. And we belong. We belong to yuppies finding even a temporary satisfaction and sheer joy in that new found window being opened and provided for looking at greater views of different perspectives in life. And so, as we go on with life looking in that window, we must not just be contented with our status quo. We must dream to reach out since life is short, so we dare to stay awake for it!

Last night, I attended an inspiring seminar at Lifebeat Cafe with two of my co-officemates. I was seated comfortably in that dark blue couch, served with tea, coffee and pastries. The room was cozy and the atmosphere is pleasant. I felt relaxed and I just opened my mind - ever ready to receive new learnings, new inspirations. The speaker whom the team called as Life Coach Gerry or Coach Gerry was enthusiastic and he had a good rapport with the audience.

And so I learn that life is short, we should stay awake for it! We must dream and dreaming should start now, while we are young and very able. We must do things where we are good at, reflect on what is our purpose, where do we excel, to put into realization our dream of becoming excellent in our fields, so as to fully manifest our talents and skills purposefully. And that's the time we can say that we are fulfilled - thus, that becomes our foundation to succeed and achieve our dreams.

Aside from that, we must also focus on starting to shift the paradigms of our dream. Sometimes, people would imitate others. Looking others' achievement as basis of theirs. So it's like saying, "He's rich. I wanna get rich too." "So he's a lawyer. I can be a lawyer too." This is definitely an unhealthy perspective. When we dream, it basically starts from ourselves and what, who we want to become thus it is based predominantly on what we have discerned - a by product of our creative plans, not to mention knowing what we are possible of doing. Because we already know what are our abilities, that is, only if we trust and believe in ourselves. Self-esteem, that is, the main agenda there.

One of the presentation that is very inspiring is the video ad by Honda. As we all know it, the tagline that goes "The Power of Your Dreams", is not just a simple tagline. It relatively translates to the compelling power of positively achieving our dreams, that dreams are within reach as we are willing to work it!
