Shout Out to LOVE!

True love is real. But it's never a promise of living in peace as in a paradise nor happy ending. It's a constant battle. You don't get what you expect to get. That would be ridiculous. One minute you look into each other's eyes like nobody can steal him or her from you. Or you stay in his/her arms all day like there's no tomorrow. In another time you find yourself curled up in bed crying. In deep pain...out from deceits, concealed facts, repetitive lies, unending arguments, pride. 

It's up to you to get your sh#t together. It's up to you to stay in a miserable situation. It's up to you to change your reaction. Would you rather be reacting or accepting? 

This is what makes love the most splendid thing.

 I shout out at this eiffin Love. 

Tough Times Wont Last. Tough People Do (Day 10)

In my long term memory it shall remain,

How you were and how we’ve been,

Locked, sealed, and buried,

Into the depths of being that bled.

Only the spiral habit of time can tell,

Or if there’s any truth in a wishing well,

Let it not be all covered in vanity,

For there shall prevail a veracity.

This soul of mine is finally free,

Back to its banter nature as idiosyncrasy,

Hushing, wining, humming and whistling in music,

As I stare at you from afar like a mosaic. 

Tough Times Wont Last. Tough People Do (Day 9)

Today was my first time to park 'big boy Arsenio' inside the campus. I just felt extremely ecstatic. Haha! (Hashtag goals). Though I almost hit that big crawling truck in the highway, I still thank God for sparing us from it. I should be more careful next time with overtaking. Wohoo!

Whole morning is packed with tasks to be completed. A lot of people are on the waiting list and some other works to do thats left unfinish. Indeed, gravitating in this office is a mortal sin. Wink.

Just when I thought I'd have a vacant afternoon but then God worked His mysterious ways again. It became an unending flow of entertaining the thought of what-to-do next and I landed in the Clinic. Let's just say, the Nurse assigned found a confidante in me. It's something I never even exerted an effort on. Another proof how plausable it is to just be "YOU". 

That being said, looking back...I was never wrong with my decision. I often stand for what I know is right. It's 'often' now. Not 'always'. I've learned lessons in the past. Wink.

P.S. This series of journal might only be until 10 or 15...there is nothing to squeeze anymore. Now that's really fast. lels!

Tough Times Wont Last. Tough People Do (Day 8)

It's another manic Monday and I couldn't help tap my own back for driving flawlessly. Traffic, annoying drivers, sidewalkers no longer intimidates me. Whew!

And I brought my mini speakers. Installed it in the office PC and darn them music is overly soothing. I can work better with music playing eversince. It's never been this peaceful in the office today. No eye sore. No noise pollution. Haha! But their absence is not an indication of peaceful living of course. Keeping them close and even "sleep" with them is by far the most crucial yet most rewarding when passed through.

As I laid down envoking my right for a rest, I thought of the future. I imagined facing the "oldie" one day. I'd smile and will remember what my 3rd year high Adviser has shared to me. She was once betrayed yet she never gave up. She went on with her life as a teacher, forgave the person and never stopped praying. And she never quit her job because she thought of her children and their future. Years passed and she's enormously blessed. She will be retiring next year with a priceless memories.

Someday, I will be like her. I'd meet a newbie of my age now and will share the same story. How this first challenge in this Godly community will test our faith. Our perseverance in fulfilling our commitment to serve and most especially, my commitment to take care of my family. Bow.

Tough Times Wont Last. Tough People Do ( Day 7)

My week ended with a bang...my feet is taking me to a place where unwinding is free. Can't wait to smell the sea breeze. I'm gonna walk barefoot on the sand while enjoying the sight of this starry night. And perhaps I'll take a dip into the water.

It's a beautiful life after all. The answers to my questions are slowly revealing. Indeed, God is never a
sleep. One doesn't have to be religious or churchgoer for Him to see through. You just have to knock.

Now I can't wait for next week's happenings and the next after that. xoxo
