News Flash!
Everybody's moving on
and I am stuck!
Future is too far to reach
I want to move on
But something's holding me back
Sometimes...
I get jealous of their status
I just wanna have what they experienced
But some people won't let me
It's vague
I don't know or how
One thing's certain
I am Standing Still...

I’ve Got Dreams to Remember
Sometimes people write the things that they can't say.
PROLOGUE
When I was a kid, my life was just simple and uncomplicated - woke up each morning without thinking of work and/or how to earn a living. Back then I only worried about homework and always looking forward for the weekend - I was always the outdoor type of child. Never a time that I stayed at home for the whole day.
Just like some kids, I never was the ethereal and excellent child myself and I made mistakes. But somehow, I found ways to get out from it. I hurt my parents every time I didn’t play by the rules and I’m pretty sure my teachers and friends weren’t proud of my juvenile acts. But kids are kids.
Growing up in a town with a less sense of fashion and entertainment, I kind of settled with what was to be had. I didn’t mind my chubbiness then nor the way I dressed. I lived freely. During my last year in elementary, I began to be conscious of many things – including my fashion statement and approach towards young adult. And then when I started high school, a part of me wanted to take away the child-like image without rushing to be fully developed. It was something new and exciting. But I never thought that it was that difficult to deal with – though I had the slight idea already.
I grew up with the world.
As the years went by, the world became busy with new things and problems piled up and so did mine. From my simple and uncomplicated life, it became complex.
And then I started to worry about the future.
I wanted to be more than what my parents imagined me to be. I yearned for excellence not in all things but only those that I knew I can be good at can manage to. I was always a dreamer – big dreamer.
So I started making my future.
There went my college life. I was the new kid in the city with high hopes that I can deal with the strange world. The time I put my country-life aside was the moment I set my eyes on the future. Seeing my future was hard. It only came in bits and pieces and sometimes what you expect wasn’t the outcome. So I tried to widen my horizon, I observed, learned, tried, failed and tried again and with most certainty - I dealt with the unusual.
I was reluctant but encouraged by the people around me.
After spending most of my years in school, I took the road to where only the best in life can get… a Job, money and more future.
… and more future.
My journey ain’t no flawless as I dreamt of. I may have failed and then later, figured some things out in the past but I knew there’s still a LIFE ahead of me - another chronicle to inscribe to. As long as I’m breathing, this won’t end. It’s just the circle of life – a way of life – a LIFESTYLE.

Sneak Preview of TOMORROW
Have you ever wonder what will your TOMORROW be?
I do!
Will I get married on my 20’s?
How many kids do I have on my 30's
am I still doing the same job on my 40’s?
Do I need Botox or surgery when I reach 50?
Can I still dance like there's no tomorrow when I’m on my 60's?
Or will I be dead before my age climbs to 70?
With it’s large promises and burdens, tomorrow is way beyond our control.
No matter how much we saved yesterday and work hard today, only then will know what’s in stake for us.
If there’s just a sneak preview of my future...
Unfortunately, I don’t!
Let us, therefore,
Live! But one day at a time and let Tomorrow worry itself.
Something for the Soul:
BUT AS IT IS WRITTEN: EYE HAS NOT SEEN, NOR EAR HEARD, NOR HAVE ENTERED INTO THE HEART OF MAN THE THINGS WHICH GOD HAS PREPARED FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HIM. ( 1 CORINTHIANS 2:9 *NKJV )
No one knows what the future holds for them, but as a Child of God you may have peace of mind! Our Heavenly Father has great plans for your future, not only on Earth, but in Heaven as well!
Therefore we have no reason to fear the future, for with God in charge there is no need to worry about anything!
Now even though in this life we may suffer heartache and woe, He is always there to comfort and guide us, and in our next life, we will live with Him in Paradise forever! T
herefore let us: PRAISE THE LORD! OH, GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD, FOR HE IS GOOD! FOR HIS MERCY ENDURES FOREVER. ( PSALM 106:1 )
After all, we cannot imagine all of the wonderful things that God has planned for our future, but one thing that we may count on is that the "Best Is Yet To Come!"
Now have a Wonderful day, and may: God's Great Love, Hope and Faith, fill your heart and mind, AND MAY THE PEACE OF GOD, WHICH SURPASSES ALL UNDERSTANDING be with you now and always!
Amen! ( PHILIPPIANS 4:7 )

New Friends...
FRIENDS. What does Friendship means to you? Are you for real or just fair-weathered friend? How can “Friends” be of help, when you’re in a foreign country, in coping the hardships and difficulties in life?
To get away from the feeling of nostalgia, you tend to create FRIENDS within the circle. In fact, there are those who ended up being lovers while some remain friends despite the intimacy both had created. There are some who support others only when it is easy and convenient to do so while others stick by through thick and thin. On the other hand, there were those who found friendship on new acquaintances but remain casual with their old friends.
Having friends may well keep you healthier and help you deal with stress better. Various studies illustrate that people with “friends” have a greater ability to fight disease than people who are solitary.
Make friends with your colleagues and don’t be afraid to express your inner fears and disappointments. Put this in mind that problems kept inside are most likely to create illness. On the other hand, when they have problems listen to them, but offer advice only when it's wanted. Another point is help reaffirm friends' self-esteem when they are shaken by break ups, family problems, or other such event.
Not only that, you can also explore the city and/or enjoy life even staying at your room only; you can watch movies together, prepare some pinoy foods that you’re craving to eat and/or have some endless chikas. If you’re bored, start the drinking session (joke!) LOL!.
Though we have our own sets of friends (wherever they maybe), it is not wrong or unfair to our old pals to make new friends. It's just the way life is...
Life is not all that bad my Friend, so go out from your shelter and be friendly (but not too much hehehe)
