Tagumpay

By -
Ang tagumpay ay hindi ang kawalan ng kabiguan. Bagkus, ito ay ang ating pagharap at pagkatuto sa mga kapalpakang dumarating sa ating buhay. Hindi masama ang mabigo. Ngunit ang palagpasin ang isang hindi magandang karanasan ng wala kang natututunan - yan ang kasalanan.

There are moments in a person's life when he will pause, take a deep breath, look back on his life, and just let himself drown on the deluge of emotions brought by waves and waves of memories -- all while listening to nostalgic music and/or sipping his favorite drink in the middle of the night. I used to have these moments frequently when I was younger. Or maybe, I was more aware of my inner self back then, intently listening and taking advantage of these moments to ground myself, have the time to really feel my emotions, cherish events close to my heart, and let go of things that burden me. Of course I can do all of these in my mind, but I think writing and reading them gives a more profound and lasting benefit on myself, so please do bear with me. As I grow older, I still have these tiny moments when my brain will tell me to stop and have these introspections. These moments, unfortunately, are quickly hushed by the business of life, feeling drained and exhausted from all the day...

Thirty One Years Ago

Good morning my dear kambal! Happy 31st birthday! Sulitin mo itong year na to, this is the last year na nasa kalendaryo ka pa. ;)  Thirty one years ago, God decided to create a family that He will forever bless and guide and nourish. He started with the mother. She is a gentle soul with a very sharp mind. She will be in charge of keeping her husband (aka eldest child) in line specially with his constant desire to play games. To make things fair, God also designed her to have a constant desire to shop, first for herself, but eventually for their children. She will strive to keep everything in order, with her uncanny prowess in planning and foresight. She will be the perfect partner for her husband, and the perfect mother for their children. And so, thirty one years ago, God created you. And I will be forever grateful to Him for that special day.  This is your special day. We may have limited budget, we may have many constraints, but always remember that YOU are spec...

My Final Fantasy III

 "Some day, you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again." - C.S. Lewis When I was young, fairy tales (and cartoons, in general) provided me with a world of vast opportunities and possibilities, allowing me to be transported to different realities with no limitations and no fears. I would routinely battle bad guys with King Arthur and the Knights of Justice, with my powerful dragon coming out of my shield and burning my enemies. My fear of heights would not hinder me from showering with pixie dust and flying together with Peter Pan and the lost boys, playing tricks on Captain Hook and his band of pirates.  One of the first books that I bought for myself was "When the clock struck thirteen". As a young child with very few life experiences, I could only imagine the fear, excitement, disappointments, and hope that the iron boy felt when the clock struck thirteen, allowing him to move and embark on an adventure to become a real boy. I remember feeling so sc...
