WHAT IF

"What If"

What if today's your last..
Will you read a heartfelt love letter to your crush?

What if today's your last..
Will you tell your parents how much you love them that despite breaking their superimposed rules.. you respect them?

What if today's your last..
Will you just smile the whole day and think of sorrow is very very v e r y far away?

What if today's your last..
Will you make most of the day happy and be a blessing to everybody? Don't start with "but you can't please everyone thingy". You can. Everyone WILL love a kind person. Be Kind. Please be kind. Irritable is not existing in your dictionary.

What if today's your last..
Will you not be genuinely give compliment to the ones you meet?

What if today's your last...
Wouldn't you want to plant a kiss at your love one's cheek?

What if today's your last..
What if..

What if tomorrow you won't wake up.
Will you not say thanks to the Gods in the Heaven up above?

What if?

39 Seconds

A poem reaction after reading Og Mandino's The Greatest Success in the World:

"39 seconds"

fail trying
fail trying
fail trying
fail trying
fail trying
fail trying
fail trying
fail trying
fail trying
keep on trying
until FAIL failed to fail you from trying

keep on loving
keep on believing
keep dreaming
keep smiling
keep writing
keep running
keep rowing
keep on climbing until you reach the top
and when done slowly inch your way back

I'm
all on in
embracing the up and down
that depression will strike once in a while
but its fine
guided with patience
happiness will come

Alone and Happy

It's 5:30pm already and I'm hungry. Went straight to the office's pantry area. Found myself eating my merienda bymyself. No one to talk to. No one to share my food.

Nonetheless I didn't feel lonely.

And armed with banana bread and coffee words started to pound so here it goes:

(Last Friday when I woke up the first thing I saw was this play of shadow and light )

I want to be alone

I want to be alone when I’m reading a book

Better if the rain pours outside sipping my hot chocolate by the nook

I want to be alone when I sing

At the top of my lungs where freely I can scream like swimming in words and drowning in emotions



I want to be alone

Savoring the quietness

Savoring the stillness

Savoring the inner dialogues

Conversing with the mind

Debating with my heart

Over a tiny little cup of cappuccino



Figuring the whys of the past

During the solemnity of my presence inside the quite white washed room



I want to be alone but for not too long

I’m afraid

That I might miss the feeling

Of spending the weekends surfing and laughing



I’m afraid staying too long alone

Might make me forget

The happiness and comfort

Of rejoicing with my friends and closeness of a family



We all need time to be alone

But not for too long...

God's Not Dead Film

Nagaantay pa rin ako kung kelan showing dito sa pinas ang film na to. So while i wait i took time to write this one:



Bukod sa selfie sa umaga
Ng mukhang nagbabaga

Bukod sa pagcheck sa phone
Kung may notification mula sa kanya
Na paulit ulit namang wala

Bukod sa agad na mahabang buntong hininga ng panghihinayang kahit Di pa nagsisimula ang a raw

Bukod sa kalituhan sa mundong mapanlinlang..

Ano nga bang morning ritual ngayon ng isang tao?

Ano nga bang unang dapat ginagawa pagka gising
Pagmulat ng mata nang matanggal na ang muta

Ano nga ba?

Try natin kaya.

Ang pasalamatan Siya.

Stay humble. Stay happy.

Just this morning a customer went inside a 22year old store selling products made from aloe vera.

And this how the story went.

Customer: Do you have a coffee here?

Customer Service Rep: Yes we have Sir. (Pointing to the vendo machine)

Customer: Can you get one please.

Customer Service Rep: Oh. I'm sorry but It's actually for sale..

Customer: What? Your company doesn't offer coffee?

Customer Service Rep: Oh. I'm really very sorry for that..but the cold and hot water's on us. You may just get a cup here..

Customer: pahinging limang pi so.

Customer Service Rep: for coffee?

Customer: I keep on buying your products why not give me coffee?!


Customer Service Rep: (Can't take the rudeness and sense of entitlement of the jerk) Sir. (In a very polite manner) Lot's of people buy multi-million pesos worth of products here in our office but never did they demand having a free coffee.

The end.

This scene shows how :
A. We get rude to the front liners.
B. Sometimes we really have that kind of feeling tipong less work but fishing for compliments.
C. Demanding even if you don't deserve it.
D. Feeling obnoxiously handsome /gorgeous when in fact it's the total opposite.
E. Lack of humility. Why enter the room and ask for a free coffee and then suffer from poker face front liners silently shouting "Oh yeah? Coffee huh? Who are you anyway?" .
F. How by being smart and witty you can overcome adversities in life.

Stay humble. Stay happy.
