One Minute

This I see:

No matter how fast, advance and complicated our lives may be... time will always come by that we will need to go back to the basics. To the foundations of the pillars we have set in our lives, to the simple s.o.p. of how things are in our lives.

For 21 years, I have lived an almost "dream-like" life, with nothing to ask for more. The next 10 years became the reverse of it. I woke up one morning asking what am I doing here? When I tried to fix things up, the next 10 years became the most complicated and hardest of the years that passed by... in trying to make things better, I took the one minute chances every day, going back to basic....

One minute of each time walking under the rain....praying.

One minute of each moment walking by the shore.... energizing my spirit to remain positive,
to keep my eyes on my goal.

One minute of every hour walking in the streets... thinking how things will going to be
excellent.

One minute of every time spent happily with the people around... crying to keep depression
away.

One minute of every 4 hours sleeping.... awake, understanding the blue print of my life, our
lives designed by GOd Almighty, so I will not complain and ask "why?".

One minute of every opportunity with ordinary, not-so-ordinary people and the somebodies...
observing their walks in life.... so I'll have inspirations and pattern in planning for the hows
in my life.

And the rest of the remaining minutes...... : )

And the 3 years after, were times of changes.

Nothing More Beautiful

There is nothing more beautiful than
a flower blooming,
a sunrise,
and
a sunset.

A bird flying in the horizon,
a rainbow,
and you..

looking at me,

just looking at me.

There is nothing sadder
than a death
of a loved one,

and you,
walking away
from me.

But there is nothing more
rewarding
than an effort compensated,

and me...
overcoming your memories.

There is nothing more refreshing
than a cold drink after a hot weather,
and thinking
of our past,
how it made me
change,
and grow into
a person
more
beautiful
than
there
was
you.

and I am glad!

My Love Is Like The Rain

It's been two months, away from this blog. Because there are no words to describe what's in my mind, I chose to be silent about what I see, feel and find. I hope the words that I coined here fit...

I wish I could forget and live again,

but no.
It's still here.

here though I'm walking forward without looking back.

here despite the discouragements
and insults.

here seeing no wrong doings
but good things.

needing no explanations nor reasons.

yes, it's still here.

but between us is a river
whose bridge no one dares to cross
to reach the other.

because of fear.

and us became like mist over the waters,
waiting for the sun's heat to rise,
and we will disappear.

but mists we are,
vapors we will become, in the sky
we will be RAIN
that will water the earth beneath.

and my love is like the rain.

Climbing Mt. Moriah the 2nd Time

Mt. Moriah was the mountain where Abraham offered Isaac to God, as requested by God to test Abraham. The offering of Isaac did not materialized because God sent a ram in place of Isaac.

Bible teachers use this story to tell about letting go of things when the Lord request it to for reasons we sometimes do not know. Only He knows.

I moved to that "mountain" when I went to China. As the Lord commanded me to. My letting go of the school, and the people who made my life sad, my fears, my pains, and sadness, took place when the airplane took off the ground! There was an amazing peace within! And the Almighty went ahead of me to China!

I was ready then to change my career, my financial and my social status. I took the "silent mode" that made a lot of friends wondered! That silent mode is still on today.

I didn't regret my decision, though a tough one. I can't explain the serenity inside.

When I returned to the Philippines this month, after 2 weeks of going back and forth to the tribe, the heavens shocked me with surprises!

Those that I lost was restored to me by the Lord!

And I can feel that many more will come where I will say to God " Indeed, it is well with my soul!"


There was no substitute offering in Moriah. Only a simple trust and letting go.


"It is well with my soul."

Silence Overtook Me

A lot of books offers advises on lots of life's issues. Many coaching groups give mindsetting truths to many business and life matters. None of them will say that meeting and succeeding on your issues are easy. All of them will say that..."it all depends on you!"

Yes, a lot of people that surrounds you seem like experts on a lot of issues and things and you get confused!

Above all things, above all words and advises.. the truth that matters is you!






And the truth that matters now is me!

Me, because I chose to listen to only One- the One who designed my life.
Me, because I chose to take a break and breath for a while.
Me, because I decide to love myself again.

I have worked hard for many, many years without a vacation. I have given my time, energy and everything to my family and other people. I have gone tired and lost what's inside... so I took the time out to be silent for a long time.


Silence doesn't always mean anger and sadness.

This time, silence means growth and change.
