Rain, work, birthdays, intrigues, orgs, silence and dedication

It is raining again after typhoon Ondoy and typhoon Pepeng. Quedan is still at sea. Work is always challenging. As IT professional, it never ends. One needs to be updated with what is going on, and one should never be left behind. I see two key elements to persevere and be motivated, sharing a vision and empowering. A good vision do not need money to have the resources you need. A good vision encourages good spirit, brings friends, and strengthens network. It must be a vision that is shared to others and others to be empowered at the same time. Empowering brings motivation and persistence. We should not waste a single grain that makes up the sand, that makes up the mountain, that makes up infinity. =) Though my thoughts are cluttered, I am inspired with the company of others, my friends, my family and most specially the Lord. Thank you for energizing me last night, for reminding me You’re there even when I am at sleep. It has been a good day with my sister’s birthday, meetings,  emails, and knowing new faces. Being true to yourself and to God’s will is always an adventure. Today, it’s another day to be inspired. Cool winds, cool day, hard rain but still delightful with good chances and opportunities. I hope no one destroys this mood. Anyway, I cannot waver on my commitments and obligations, in or out (organizations). They are the keys to a good future, and sustainable development. Silently, slowly but surely, we work hard, we maintain focus, and we will reach the goal. Happy Birthday to dear Joseph as well. I thank your parents for bringing you into this world.

one day at a time

To Space and Time, 

You are the only silent friends that I have left. Today, I start my day with sadness in my heart. I tried taking a good picture but my eyes  reflect a wounded soul. It never occured to me that love and hurt can affect you in the same way. More dangerous than a physical wound like an angel that lost its will. Distance makes the heart grow fonder but it also makes your soul weak. Misunderstandings take its toll no matter how good your intentions. As far as my strength can carry me and the inspiration from family, I will see the day with the same earness to be of service. It would have been better if you get more inspired but you cannot will another force especially of another dimension. The years have taught me lessons but moreso it taught me to trust no one. I wish Space to give me the peace of solitude and Time to ease my pain. Love is a gift, a companion and a mystery I cannot comprehend. I pray to my divine savior. God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference. 

inspiring thoughts from the past

I Love Thee
by Eliza Acton, 1799-1859.

I love thee, as I love the calm
    Of sweet, star-lighted hours!
I love thee, as I love the balm
    Of early jes’mine flow’rs.
I love thee, as I love the last
    Rich smile of fading day,
Which lingereth, like the look we cast,
    On rapture pass’d away.
I love thee as I love the tone
    Of some soft-breathing flute
Whose soul is wak’d for me alone,
    When all beside is mute.

I love thee as I love the first
    Young violet of the spring;
Or the pale lily, April-nurs’d,
    To scented blossoming.
I love thee, as I love the full,
    Clear gushings of the song,
Which lonely–sad–and beautiful–
    At night-fall floats along,
Pour’d by the bul-bul forth to greet
    The hours of rest and dew;
When melody and moonlight meet
    To blend their charm, and hue.
I love thee, as the glad bird loves
    The freedom of its wing,
On which delightedly it moves
    In wildest wandering.

I love thee as I love the swell,
    And hush, of some low strain,
Which bringeth, by its gentle spell,
    The past to life again.
Such is the feeling which from thee
    Nought earthly can allure:
‘Tis ever link’d to all I see
    Of gifted–high–and pure!

the future is a decision of the past

The future is a glimpse of the desicions we take. It is a dream you envision. It is the strength you build upon. It is the courage you wish to have in the present.

The future tells the truth of your being. It is the home you can build. It is the testimony of a life started. It is the celebration you wish to have with your loved ones.

The future is your love. It can make you happy, it can make you sad. It is a roller coaster journey that makes you want to jump out when it plunges from the highest peak. It is the consoling hand that will not let you go. 

The future is a trust you have to take. Soon, the journey will end and peace will prevail.

wondering time

 Time flies so fast. It was three years while walking the same path with friends in Maastricht. Now, new friends have gained and new challenges to face. All this for a purpose unclear to a small being. Still, we walk the path. Still, we ask questions, and find meaning to answers. At this point in my life, I have earned many of the pieces. I believe I am equipped with the graces of life and love.

Facing life with head held high is easier said than done, it is really up to you if you are willing to be swayed with opportunities or stand still for the next steps to happen.

To quote, Life is full of mystery.., Life is short.., Smile even if the world stops smiling like MJ.., what the heart cherishes, there its home will be…
