BABY'S JOURNEY

"Thanks to the sea who welcomed us without a visa... Thanks to the fish who will eat on my body without asking me what's my religion, or political status..."

- A good-bye letter found in the pocket of one of the thousands of Syrians who drowned in the Mediterranean while fleeing to Europe from the war in Syria, after all the other countries rejected them and denied them the visa. He wrote:

"Dear mom, I am sorry that the boat has drowned and I wasn't able to make it to Europe. I am sorry that I won't be able to send you back the money you had to borrow for my boat trip. Don't be sad if they never find my corpse in this wild sea; it won't bring me back to you, it will only bring you more debt and more funeral, burial, and transportation expenses.

I am sorry that the war has happened, and I'm sorry that I had to leave just like all the other kids who had dreams. Although my dreams weren't too big; I only dreamt of affording a bottle of medicine for your illness, and some money to fix your teeth.

By the way, the color of my teeth right now is green because of all the algae stuck on it. I still believe they're better looking than the teeth of our dictator though...

I am sorry that I built you an imaginary house in my dreams; a cozy wooden hut like the one in movies. A hut that is very far from barrel bombs, airplanes, and all the sectarianism we were surrounded with.

Dear brother, I am sorry that I wasn't able to send you the $50 I promised I will send every month to buy yourself something nice before you graduate.

Dear sister, I am sorry that I wasn't able to send you a nice smartphone with all the wi-fi and the technology that your friends at school are buying.

Dear home, I am sorry that I will never ever hang my jacket behind your door again.

Dear divers and rescue teams, I am sorry for all the trouble you have to go through to find our bodies, as I don't know the name of the sea I'm drowning in.

Dear United Nations and government agencies, please stay comfortable and please rest assured that I will never be a burden on you anymore.

Thanks to the sea who welcomed us without a visa... Thanks to the fish who will eat on my body without asking me for my religion, or political status...

Thanks to all the TV channels and news outlets who will share our news for a few minutes everyday to make some money off our story while it's still hot and interesting.

Thank you all for feeling sorry for us...

I am sorry that I drowned..."


The result of unfinished lives in nation.

CONNECTED

After the pain of disaster, we will find the one who can connect to us despite of everything's happen to us. Just like this two kitty...connect each other to make thing possible and make love by each other.

Freedom to Journey

“Freedom to Fail (Freedom to Succeed)”

Along the way I’ve found that one of the greatest joys of the journey is giving myself permission to fail—and to succeed. I’ve discovered that my worth is not wrapped up in my successes or failures, how many people like me, how influential my friends are, what kind of shoes I wear, or the kind of car I drive. None of these define me; none change my worth. Nothing I do can change God’s view of me. Nothing can change my value in His eyes. 

This is true freedom. 

This is an awakening that frees me from the fear of failure, fear of rejection, fear of what others might think. This freedom allows me to step outside of my comfort zone and realize that even if I fail, it will not affect who I am (or who I become). My failures no longer define me.

So join me on my joyful journey by giving yourself the permission to fail—and to succeed.

Final Thought: Success or failure cannot change my value or my ability to be loved—these are unchangeable. My actions cannot change who God is. My actions cannot change how He loves me. These realizations give me freedom to succeed. ~Trena Reed

LETS THE COUNT DOWN BEGINS

HAPPY BER MONTHS EVERYONE... THIS IS ACTUALLY IM WAITING FOR ALL OF MY LIFE...

How You Learn To Love Again and Why Your First Love Is Never The Greatest

How You Learn To Love Again and Why Your First Love Is Never The Greatest

Everybody is always making a big fuss over the “first love” concept, and how it’s this life-changing thing that never really fades away. But I feel like while your first love is great, and probably shows you things about yourself that you didn’t know, and inevitably breaks your heart, what we should really be talking about is the second and third and fourth great loves that show us that we can feel that way for someone again.

After that “first great love” breaks your heart you get to thinking they’re one in a billion, the only fish in this sea that could possibly jive with you, that could possibly make you want to touch them all night and then just sit next to them while watching Netflix and go grocery shopping and talk about the annoying things that happened today and all the little, ridiculous nuances of everyday life that nobody else could possibly understand but them.

But one day, usually when we’re least expecting it, someone else comes along. Usually, we’re hesitant to love them. We think we’re broken and “we need time” when really it’s just an excuse to not be with someone because we’re too afraid of our own feelings. But what we realize, slowly, but then all at once, is that the person we have in our lives right now makes us happier than that other person did. They ended for a reason, and you don’t have to end what you have because of what happened in the past. It’s over, your thoughts are the only thing that keeps it alive.

And maybe we want to keep these things alive, because we can’t get over the fact that sometimes in life, we can love greatly and deeply but not forever. This is not what we were taught. We were raised on the notion that once we find someone we care about enough, we have to bind them together with us by law and conform to every convention set up for us to breed the next generation and live a blase live.

You don’t have to choose this. There will always be more love to find. It’s only ever a matter of getting over the fear of feeling again.

TIPS PARA MAPANSIN KA NG CRUSH MO

IMPRESSION - Mas mahirap kang mapansin kung ikaw ay pangit, kaya dapat lagi kang mag-paimpres sa crush mo, tulad ng pagsusuot ng matino, dapat laging maliligo at magto-toothbrush, ayaw ng mga babae na madilaw ang ngipin at mabaho ang hininga. Hindi ka din dapat naghuhubad sa labas o sa harap ng maraming tao kasi ‘yun ang pinakaayaw ng babae.

CHARMING - Dapat din maging mabait ka, kahit pa pangit ka basta’t mabait at matulungin sa ibang tao, siguradong mapapansin ka ng crush mo. Dapat ka ding maging mahinahon o hindi madaling magalit kasi ‘yun ang pinakaayaw ng babae pati ang pagiging mayabang. Hindi mo kailangan maging mayaman para magawa mo ‘yan. Ang dapat mo lang gawin ay tumulong hanggang sa makakaya mo. Hindi ka rin dapat naninigarilyo. Ayaw ng mga babae sa lalaking nagsisigarilyo o nagda-drugs at laging lasing at pala-away. Talagang matuturn-off ang mga babae dun.

CONVERSATION - Kung galit ang crush mo sa’yo, gawin mo muna ang STEP # 1 & 2. Kung siya naman ay hindi galit sa’yo, mas maganda, sa tuwing mag-uusap kayo dapat titigan mo siya sa kanyang mga mata na para bang nag-uusap ang mga mata niyo o hini-hypnotize mo siya. Dapat lagi mo din siyang kakausapin pati rin ang mga kaibigan niya. Magpa-impres ka din sa mga kaibigan niya para mahikayat ang crush mo na lalo ka niyang kausapin.

SACRIFICE - Kung ang crush niyo naman ay masyadong makulit o pasaway o hindi ka pinapansin at laging kang pinapahiya, konting pasensya lang. Lagi mo lang gawin ang mga step na ito ng paulit-ulit hanggang sa ma-realize niya na pwede ka rin sa kanya.

Breaking Up

The days goes by that we didn't talked too much..we just looking at each other without words in mouth...if this means goodbye I can't do anything but to accept the fact that maybe we are not meant for this time...I felt that we both torture from our unperfect relationship...I think we need a break for the meantime, we need space and time to think about..I am so sorry if I gave you a damn for this but please still believe that I am loving you so much..hope I can make it this last...

I Never Dreamed Someone Like You Could Love Someone Like Me

~ Ikaw Lang Naman Talaga ~

~ Ikaw Lang Naman Talaga ~

Kahit ilang beses tayo mag-away, ikaw pa din mahal ko. Kahit ilang beses pa tayo magkaroon ng tampuha, ikaw pa din ang mahal ko. Kahit ilang araw na tayong hindi nagkikita, ikaw pa din ang mahal ko. Kahit ang daming lumalandi sa akin, ikaw pa din ang mahal ko. Kahit naiinis ako sayo minsan, ikaw pa din ang mahal ko. Kahit ang daming nagpapapansin sa akin, ikaw pa din ang mahal ko. Kahit isang beses lang tayo magkita sa isang buwan, ikaw pa din ang mahal ko. Kahit lumipat ka pa ng ibang bansa, ikaw pa din ang mahal ko. Kasi ikaw lang naman talaga eh. 

Ikaw lang yung nagpapakilig sa akin ng ganito, yung may kasamang hampas sa katabi, ikaw lang ang may kayang papulahin ang mukha ko ng dahil sa mga sinasabi mo. Ikaw lang ang nakakapagpatawa sa akin habang ako ay may tampo sayo. Ikaw lang yung taong pinapatawa ako kahit ikaw ang dahilan kung bakit ako umiiyak. Isa ka sa mga taong nagpapasaya sa akin.

SOULMATE

There is no mathematical formula to calculate a soul mate relationship. Soul mates just happen. It is a kind of divine realization where you start seeing your partner as your soul mate. There comes a point in our life when we start realizing that the person with whom we have shared our heart and soul is actually our soul mate. You start accepting the fact that your partner is the only person on earth who can give you a peace of mind and compliments you in every way. When you finally realize that you are incomplete without your partner and really can’t live without each other you have found your soul mate. Soul mates are mentally, spiritually and telepathically connected because they are tied in a unique and exclusive lifelong bond.

HANG OVER OF LOVE

Ilang gabi lang yun pero halos ang tagal na sa pakiramdam. Biruin mo sa halos limang buwan kang walang nararamdamang ganun, tiyaka ka lang ule kinilig ng ganun. Imagine na kahit nakatali kana sa isang tao at sinsabi mong mahal mo, eto ka't kinikilig sa bawat eksena ng taong masasabi mong nagbigay ng konting kulay sayo. Yun nga lang, saglit lang at parang walang nangyari. Nakakatawa lang dahil sana sa pagpasok mo sa isang bagay na akala mo'y pwedeng magtagal ay tiyaka naman pala may mabubuo at magbabalik na isang relasyon. Syempre hindi ka pwedeng umarte ng parang ikaw ang nauna dahil sa simula palang alam mong may tao na sa loob ng puso ng taong akala mo'y magbibigay sayo ng bagong kulay. Gusto kong tumawa ng malakas at paulit-ulit pero aaminin ko natatamaan din ako. Haha... ang lakas nya kasing mang "hang " at"over" syang mang deadma, pero sa totoo lang affected din ako. Tapos susundan ka ng mga eksenang pang tele serye or paocketbook. Yung tipong gusto mo ng umiwas din para matulungan mo syang iwasan ka ng tuluyan at sabihing "trip" lang pala yun. Malalaman mong nagkaintindihan na sila't nagkamabutihan ule. Yung tipong magkakasalubong-salubong kayo or makakasalubong mo yung taong nauna sa puso nya. At ikaw naman na halos ayaw mo nang makita dahil alam mong hindi kana nya papansinin ule. Pero okey ka parin kasi alam mo naman na mangyayari yun at mangyayari. Yun nga lang naunahan ka ng konting kilig sa maeksing pagkakataon. Tapos eto ka hahanapin mo si laptop or si ballpen at notebook para magsumbong ng mga pangyayaring ginawa sayo or mga bagay na nagbigay sayo ng konting isipin. Buti nalang at kahit papaano masasabi mong ayaw mong maging "home-breaker"    or  umatend ng party yun nga lang third ka sa attendance. Anyway, sa susunod ule kung may susunod pa nga ba...salamat sa pagbabasa hanggang sa muli...

I DREAM A BUTTERFLIES

I think everybody has dreamt of butterflies at least one time in their lives, and if not, maybe you will. Our dreams can mean so many different things, and yes it can get really confusing at times and frustrating. What does it really mean? Here are some scenarios that might explain why you are dreaming of butterflies.

1. Maybe you have done something to transform yourself such as a new haircut or you might have lost some weight recently. Whatever it is, it's making you feel fabulous. Your dream of butterflies might be telling you that it is working. If you haven't transformed yourself, maybe your dream is telling you that you are considering a major life change in the near future.

2. If you are dreaming of butterflies, this might indicate that you seek some sort of transformation or you wish to be something different than what you already are. You might want to try something new or different.

3. If you are dreaming of butterflies, this may signify that you want more freedom in your life, to break free from the bond of your existing life. You want to break out of your cocoon, to explore more of what life has to offer.

4. If you are dreaming of butterflies, you may be experiencing that you are just coming into the fullness or your own beauty and you are at the peak of your potential. You want to spread your wings and to make the most of what you have, to experience as much as possible with what you have. You may have feelings of being satisfied with what you have and who you are.

5. If you are dreaming of butterflies, this may signify that you feel that something is going to happen in your waking life soon and you feel nervous and excited about it at the same time. Even though you may not feel very confident right at the moment about it, you feel that you will just flutter right through it; you feel you will finish the task with ease and confidence.

6. If you are dreaming of butterflies, you may be feeling satisfied with your waking life and that you can feel the beauty around you and your life. You can feel pleasure with your existing life. You feel that you know who you are and you are happy just to be you.

No matter what scenario you believe is to be true when you dream of butterflies, dreaming is one of the most natural things that we humans experience. It's a way for us to understand ourselves a little better. I hope this helps, Happy Dreaming!
