Think about SUCCESS!?

Oftentimes when I see mountains, I always look at the peak. This is often the primary state of man to always look at what is on the top. But what does it mean figuratively?

Looking the top of the mountain always tone us that we love SUCCESS. This further views how a person would like to reach the top, reaching his dreams and ambitions in life. But have we realize that we need to take the lower part of it so that we can go forward to the cliff? That is what it means. As Celine Dion's song said, "When you want it the most, there is no easy way out" and that is true. Reaching the top takes a lot of sacrifices and pains. There is no one in this world who instantly or directly experience the stable living of a wealthy life without taking the narrow road of pain and sacrifices. That signifies that if we want something for our life, the things we really want to have and aspire, we need to SACRIFICE and patient is a must. How does one drive his life will also depend on the various aspects of his priorities and setting that one big priority will somehow lead him to success or will turn his way around. But there is no room for regret if life leads him to the dim and unexpected side because if one learns and put that learning into mind, then I am sure he is not the root of the biggest mistake. Oftentimes we can say that "My best wasn't good enough!". That is life and we are the ones who will take the consequence of what lies ahead and what will be for us. I hope this help you in most ways to reflect on the mystery of life.

Happy Father's Day Tatay!

Father. Tatay. Papa. Itay. Whatever you call them. They are special in our lives. It is "He" who showed the world that we exist. Today is the day set especially to all the FATHERS in the whole wide world. A day of recognition for their existence and the presence that bring us all to life.

The History of Father's Day

The first known celebration of Father's Day was on July 5, 1908 in Fairmont, West Virginia, where it was commemorated at William Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church South – now known as Central United Methodist Church. Grace Golden Clayton is believed to have suggested it to her pastor after a deadly explosion in nearby Monongah in December, killing 361 men.
It was also during a sermon in 1909 that Sonora Smart Dodd became inspired by Mother's Day. After the death of her mother, Sonora and her siblings were raised by their father William Jackson Smart, a Civil War veteran. Sonora wanted to show how thankful she was to her father and, because William was born in June, she worked to have the first Father's Day celebrated on June 19, 1910.

In 1924, President Coolidge recommended that Father's Day become a national holiday. President Johnson designated the third Sunday of June to be Father's Day in 1966. It was not until 1972 that President Nixon instituted Father's Day as a national observance.

Roses are the official flower on Father's Day, red for fathers who were still living and white for those who have passed on.

To all the Fathers in the world, HAPPY FATHER's DAY and to my father as well who raise me with good values and proper conduct. A father who has been there through good and bad times. I love you Tatay!

Furthermore, I want to thank the One, Jesus Christ who bring my father in this world for us. Happy Father's Day too, Jesus!

Best things in life are free!

Whenever I think of the beauty of nature, it reminds me of LIFE. The warm breeze that gradually sails in the sea, the cool air that touches my skin, the sunset that captured my sight, the fresh water that queches my thirst...these are all the things that I enjoy out from life. Oftentimes, I encouter a lot of heavy burdens that sometimes drives me to be weak but positively I realize that there is the Giver of life who will help and never leave me. There are more to life that He laid and will laid for me and I owe a lot to Him. In spite how heavy my life is, I know that one thing for sure, He will never leave me.

All things in life are for free and He has given us the freewill on how to use and enjoy the gift of life that He bestowed to us and for us everyday. But what is the wise and brilliant way to enjoy life...? It is through Him and in Him. The way to life is Jesus!

Writing is my life!

Eversince I was a child, writing is in my root. I love writing. I love expressing my own opinion, views and perspective in various issues. Writing for me is an expression of the inner self. It is a way of reaching out to others about the feelings of my soul. It is a masterpiece. It is a skill. It can be learned and mastered by many individual. Writing is the freedom of speech, the right of expression and an art.

When I was about 8 years old, I have my Diary. I put into writings all that has happened into my life as I encounter my day-to-day activities in those times. When I reached at the age of 12, I start to write poems and essays. Now, I never cease to mark my paper with the stored knowledge I have. This is a gift and I want to share my writings with you.
