Work On You

Start working on you to get what you want, instead of working on getting what you want to become you.

The Arrogant & The Prideful

How do you see an arrogant and prideful man?

Ignorant and exuberant for their naiveté. They do not see the whole picture. But He said not to be indignant nor crush their eagerness but we should find ways to empower them and channel their energy into something useful and good. For we are His vessels, His soldiers.

Soulfood for my struggling spirit.

Thanks to the Good News Reflection for today…The Treasure Within.

What's Your Problem?

I’ve just realized that when you put your heart into something, you become more effective. Hence, you get to accomplish things that will help you get closer to that something.

Stop looking for loopholes and just concentrate on what needs to be done. The solution lies in the problem. Instead of blaming others, own the problem and you will find the solution within yourself. Period.

More Than Meets The Eye

We live in the same world living our own lives. To identify things, sometimes it is easier for us to brand things. This is also extended to people. To know our identity we join a group to better express who we are. Then we are classified, branded, stereotyped. Sometimes other people outside that faction see us as a representation of a certain class. Just like in highschool. There are the geeks, the jocks, the pop kids, the cheerleaders, the artists, the gothic, the writers, the bookworm, the conservatives, the indifferent, the nature lover and many more character types. Sometimes we are overpowered by the group’s character and the downside is we lose our individuality to the group.

I don’t want to be typecast to any particular group because I’m one and each of them in some ways or another.

Frustrated.

Frustrations are dreadful…for making you feel powerless. To avoid external conflict, we mum and we end up annoyed at ourselves. We concede to the status quo and sometimes to the sub-standard decisions as cover-up. Doomed…from the beginning ‘til the end.

No Other You

I did not give you my sweet ‘yes’ because you gave me the ‘moon and the stars’ where every step I took you trailed and that everything I said you made happen like a blind follower. And I never knew that you are what I wanted all along until you revealed to me who you really are as a person...no masks, no pretenses...simply you. I have grown fond of you and everytime the fire just keeps on burning. I opened my heart to you because I saw you underneath your skin…underneath it all. And I know that there is no other you...never will be. You are God-given...my God-sent.

Lifetime Memories & Feelings of the Inevitable Change

I know we don’t have forever…we don’t have all day…we don’t even have a minute. Every second counts. And I will hold on to that moment…remembering…always. Our memories will last a lifetime while feelings won’t…that is for certain. So thank me or forgive me for holding you tightly…for being overly protective…for loving you the way I do. Crashing cars, burning houses, breaking windows, aching hearts…anything can happen. Nothing is constant but change itself…inevitable. Now is our chance. Today is an opportunity. One step will make a difference. Live today…live this moment. Take one move…or forever hold your peace.

Oven Toaster

Mel Ongsue said something like this...

...men are like toasters. they easily heat up then easily cool down. while women are like the oven. it takes time to heat up and takes long to cool down...

Transalation?

Women, beware of toasters...make sure they stay heated up in the relationship in the long run.

Enough said

The Downpour Becomes a Blissful Drive

I love the sudden downpour

as I cruise watchfully along the highway.

Huge drops of acid rain

hitting violently

against my car’s windshield.

Blurry vision of the road

temporarily cleared by the incessant wiper

washing off the dirt on my car.

Then it stops…silence…

As you look up

you see clear skies

and the sun peeking

behind the few clouds

with colors that had formed.

Then it hits me…

the sun’s warmth rays.

I smile

put on my shades

turn up the radio

and step on the gas.

Blissful drive once again.

Love Paradox

I will keep quiet when you raise your voice.

I will be still when you react violently.

I will crack a joke when you’re irritated.

I will be your rock when you falter or cry

I will hold you in my arms when you reject me.

I will love you during your darkest hours.

For men are boys posing to be men.

For a woman is their weakness whom he draws strength and inspiration.

This is the great paradox of love.

Men, do not be afraid to unmask your weaknesses

Because she has the instinctive care of a mother

...a woman who will show you unconditional love.

Call it martyrdom…

I say it’s selfless love.
