We're too busy looking from the lense and taking pictures of the most important events in our lives that we missed the real thing. Pictures are nothing, compared to the actual view.

Someone

If I am to wish what I really want
I would perhaps wish but I know I can't
For I would wish for someone to come in my life
Someone who will always be by my side.

Is it really possible to have someone to share
Someone who would stay and always care
Maybe someday he would eventually appear
To claim my heart and take away my fear.

My Hope

I had given a lot of thought what I liked about you
I did it today and yesterday too
I hope in the future whether good or bad
I promise I'll try not to make you sad.

I really do love you for everything that you are
I hope if we have a relationship it would really go far
One day you'll know how much I really care
I want to spend my life with you so would you let me share.

Teamwork

If you are going to start helping people, you're going to have to start doing the following things. First, you've got to stop imposing yourself on others, and your value systems upon them, you've got to be real and you've got to learn to listen. There are all kinds of symbols. Verbal language is only one. Sometimes by opening our mouths, we make dreadful errors. It's often so much nicer just to look at somebody and vibrate. I'm determined that one of these days I'm going to free myself of all responsibility and study human vibrations because I'm sure they exist even as much as the vibrations that are sending this sound to you. When we find that secret, we may find some means of communication that is a little more adequate than words. I think that listening is tremendously important, and yet we abhor and are frightened of silence. The most beautiful things could go on if we were silent.  You've got to be real. Don't be a phony. Come on as yourself. The hardest thing in the world is to be someone you're not. As you get closer and closer and closer to what you are, be that and come on all the time that way. You'll find it's an easy way to live. The easiest thing to be in the world is you. The most difficult thing to be is what other people want you to be. Don't let them put you in that position. Find who you are and come on as you are. Then you can live simply. You won't be playing games any more. Just clear them all away and say, "Here's me and take me for what I am with all my frailties, all my stupidity and if you can't, leave me alone". Another thing, don't order anyone to do anything. You're not God. You don't know what is in someone else's head. You can guide but you can't order. And try to communicate, try to understand. Finally remember that you are a team. You're dealings with people are only going to be as successful as you are together. You're going to want to plan together what you're going to do because there are greater resources and strength in many than there are in one.

Love

Saying I love you to someone is probably the greatest thing a person can say and do in his life provided we remain true to the meaning of the word love. When it comes to romantic love there is always a risk of saying it, when the two person already in love with each other finally say those three words the answer can be very fulfilling. To be loved back by the object of your affection is rapture. But there are those who like most of us do love someone who's not yet in love with us. So we wait and wonder when will the time come. And most often than not we remain silent about how we feel because we're afraid of getting hurt, afraid of not hearing what we want to hear. So we drown on our own sorrow of not being able to experience a loving relationship. And there are those who choose to remain true to what the real meaning of loving someone, unafraid of getting hurt, unafraid of falling first. Because true love waits and understand. The person who truly loves is never selfish, he thinks of his love before himself, he can take pain in silence and persevere in the distance just so he can hold the person he love lightly. I myself experienced these kinds of love. I experienced being loved back, and love someone back. And loving without being love in return. But I also experienced not loving someone at all, yes I may have avoided pain temporarily but I can't survive not loving... The key is to love someone who is worthy of that love.

"Gates of hell"

Perhaps it could be a title of a new book. Dan Brown's description of Manila as the "gates of hell" received different reactions from overly sensitive Filipinos. Apparently they got offended, but why be too sensitive about it? Is it a fact that in whole Metro Manila traffic is a way of life already, we have begars on the streets, garbage is almost everywhere, flood, sidewalk vendors, criminals, underage prostitutes are rampant. Now if that is not hell on earth then i don't know what hell is. But regardless of how we view our country it doesn't mean we love it less. It is our home and we should strive to improve it. It is not as if we're not guilty of the same sin. Overly reacting to such a small thing seems to be our way of living already.

Giving up

When someone give up or broke a promise we must never condemn them. It doesn't make them a bad person, for each one of us experience life differently. When someone acknowledge his limitation it is important to act on it. Having limitations makes us human and in the end acting on it is what makes us wise.

Wondering

We often wonder how a person can survive with all this problems going on the world right now. You look at your own life and how vulnerable you must feel considering how powerless you are and yet you wonder how can someone make a difference or is it even possible to save the world without being a superhero. I am probably the most ordinary person you will see on this planet. A regular guy roaming around the city, unknown and perfectly hidden from the eyes of everyone. I do ask myself if being me would make a difference or would my existence do matter. Maybe in my small way I could. Perhaps if every individual would contribute to society no matter how small it may be it would eventually save someone. Collectively as a nation or even as a race perhaps we might save each other and how magnificent would that be.

Never Waste A Moment

Each day is a new beginning and every beginning is a new chance to make your life better. Never waste a moment, laugh and cry, love and reach out to someone, talk to strangers, hug a friend, say I love you. Don't wait for another time because there may never be a time other than today. Life is beautiful.

Equal Rights

Gay marriage is not about a man getting married to a man or a woman getting married to a woman. It is not about religion or culture nor being a conservative or liberal. It is about equal rights, quaranteed by the constitution, profess by men and given by God. We do not aspire to be special we just want to be treated equal. If I am wrong then let the Lord be my judge.
