May not be Colorful but Meaningful

Everyday is a brand new new life.

There are times we don’t appreciate life the way it goes… but beyond it is something that we should be thankful of, something that we should feel the care within our families, something that we should cherish the most from our friends, something that we should be enjoying at least from our nature and something that we consider from all the aspects in life that we think do not exist at all.

Life in this world should never be taken granted but a time that we should enjoy no matter what stage you are at, stage you are disappointed at, stage where you feel you are no boundaries at and stage where you think that someday somehow all will perish but in the end you will still be able say “All is well.”

There were people that were deprived because of their colors, deprived because of their living status, deprived because of their parents who never wanted their children to suffer the consequences they might have done before a beautiful child was born into life, deprived because of the past experiences they had and deprived because of the feelings and hurts people throw at them. We may never understand them because we may never have been on the same shoes, but that is why the word compassion existed… a word that should change the way we feel, a word that should change the way we see things, a word that should unite the broken families, a word that should unite not just small pieces of fragmented mirrors but a word that should be injecting the instinct in our minds that will regenerate the floating hopes to a united world.

If only hatred, anxiety, loss, failures, depravity, persecution and whatever that causes hurts, brokenness and separation never existed, our world should have been perfect… but you know what? If these words never existed, we could have been enjoying the perfect world but not the perfect word from all the lessons we can comb from the precious experiences from our tyrants, persecutors, competitors and others that makes our world not colorful but so meaningful.

Mountain Blues (via joebeckerphoto)

Mountains are so calming especially when you hear nothing but the wind breeze. Get inspired with this pictures and come with me on hiking. Ha ha!

Mountain Blues Mountain blues? Well, lots blue sky maybe. In fact, the only thing to be blue about was the lack of clouds (ever notice how photographers are never happy with the weather – believe me, Tanya has noticed [and has told me so]). So I saw lots of blue. But how about purples, yellows and reds? I saw them too during the three days I spent on Blue Mountain in Olympic National Park over last weekend. The trip was an official Mountaineers photography outi … Read More

7th of 9 (II)


Thank you guys!

Last Sunday, it was warm;
Last Monday, it rained.
Yesterday, it was so cold;
And today, I was flooded by many things:
flooded by emails, messages, Facebook greetings, tweets, Tagged greetings and many more! It was overwhelming and so nice to feel this way anyhow.

I feel like crap when I woke up this morning because I lack sleep earlier nights but when I see the text messages, missed calls, and social networking sites greetings, I remembered that indeed it is a wonderful day.

I don’t really consider my birthday something very special day. I’m not that person. But when my birthday comes, people always make me feel it’s a great special, somehow, day. Also, thanks to Sv who made me free today.

As a conclusion, I just want to say thank you guys for making another wonderful day of my life.

The 7th of 9 is about to end…

I would just like to say thank you for the greetings, for the gifts, treats and for all the blessings!

You all made my day!

Bipolar – a lesson, not a disease

After work today I wanted to chill and ended up watching a film, A Summer in the Cage. The film was a documentary done by a man named Ben.

The story started from Ben trying to film about the street basketball in New York. He met a guy named Sam whom he wanted to work with for the documentary he is trying to film. According to Ben, Sam had a vast idea with regard to the project and got going with him in months.

After some time later, Sam turned into a traitor and decided to work with himself with the project rejecting Ben as his partner… he left Ben without notice, do not accept phone calls from him, do not give back any emails and messages sent by Ben and continued the project that Ben have started by himself.

After couple of weeks, Ben received a phone call from Sam’s friend saying that in the hospital he has been confined because he became bipolar.

Ben started to shift from filming the street basketball to Sam’s life. His mania started to inspire Ben to know more of his past life and started doing some interviews with Sam’s family particularly his mother.

He discovered that Sam’s father committed suicide because he had the same situation as what Sam had – being bipolar. Her mother does not blame anyone for that but she was always hoping that Sam never had mania that will take away the hope in his future as a normal citizen.

While watching the film, I realized that after all what Sam had done to Ben, he was still there for Sam helping him through what he’s been with the mania and in being bipolar. He also shared Ben some of his feelings about the depression he’s going through. He said he used to have  great life in New York, had masters and degrees but now it all turned to rejection, jobless life and loveless living.

Sam did not have his own family although he wanted to. He was afraid that his child might acquire the same bipolarity and decided for himself to stay single. He just had Ben as his faithful friend no matter what. He has been there always for Sam. He is always there for him in just a single phone call, helping him sort things out, flying with him, driving him around and helping him through tough times Sam have had.

However, Sam started to deteriorate and became worse than ever. After six years of being friends with Ben, he started being rude to him asking for more money, threatening him and yelling at him on the top of his lungs over the phone.

Sam was again confined in the hospital because I say he’s not taking his medications, although I’m not sure about it but I suppose it’s that.

Ben always remembered the times he spent with Sam, the road trips, the conversations and reminiscing the past experiences and travels with him. Although everything ended about their project, for Ben still the friendship remains and still the memories can never be covered by anger and regret that he’s suppose to feel about Sam.

Sam’s mother said that she’s fear was always about losing him. She does not blame anyone else but she still can’t accept the thing happened to his son Sam.

LESSON I HAVE LEARNED:

To be a friend means to accept people’s weaknesses… always being there for them no matter how hard they are to us, no matter how hard it is to accept their personality and no matter what circumstance might cross along.

In Sam’s situation, what I’ve learned was always be honest with myself and to other people. Accept that life is not always the way we wanted it to but God is always there to direct us to the path we should take no matter how hard it is for us to go through… and in times that we seem to give up, there is always a God (Yahuwa) who will lift us up and embrace saying, “Son, do you know I still love you?”

Bipolar seems like a big lesson to me not a disease something that we should be afraid of. I’m not saying that I can have it but what I’m saying is that with this movie, it brought me a lesson that I will forever learn.

I want to hike on my birthday!

Countdown… my birthday is coming up!

Last week, I was browsing my diary and noticed that my birthday is coming up. Basically, as what I hate even before, I don’t like having my party at home. I don’t know why but I hate cleaning the house after the party’s done. Revelries are fine with me as long as the cleaning is not down to me… I totally hate cleaning up other’s mess.

I planned to celebrate with my family and few friends at home on the 10th, Saturday, because I know my family’s going to suggest me to. However things changed. My boss sent me an email this morning saying that she’s got treats and surprises on my birthday, 7th. She gave me a leave too for next week on my birthday. Great! I can spend time for myself… watch movies, read some blogs, articles, listen to music, read my Bible, write on my journal, and take some pictures. These are the things I usually do and what I love to do.

Since the 7th is on Wednesday, no one among my friends are available… that means, I can spend my birthday with my family alone and myself. How about that? Well, everything is fine with me. If there would be a party, it’s fine. But if I’m going to decide for myself, I would like it celebrated in the forest. Ha ha! Seriously, yes I would like that. I love nature and I love hiking except getting bitten by snakes of course. I already asked my family and few friends if they can go with me with my plan on adventure and yes, affirmative! We’re chilling by the shore, take pictures, get dirty (what?), hike, what not. Ha ha!

Above all, I want to thank Yahuwa, God, for extending another year of my life, for surrounding me important caring people and my family too… they are incredibly unique (only people who live with us know about what I’m saying). I like living with the battalion… millions of people inside the house. Ha ha! I love my family!

All in all, I can say I’m enjoying my life with the blessings I receive daily, for the love, care, sermon, tantrums from PG and the sharing of laughter from the girl whom I cherish the most, Ellen. Thanks! I love you!

I want to say thank you also to all the people who make me feel I’m grown up. Ha ha! – Paula Garcia, Chris Crabtree, Joe Noedreit and to all my High school friends and College friends, thanks!

The Sept 7 birthday man,

Jas

Rapture

Rapture

I was listening to the live interview at Art Bell Radio and they had a
discussion about the rapture that is going to happen. They have included the US
President in their conversation saying that he does not believe in it. However,
some of his officers still hold on to it and believe it is going to happen.
That’s a compliment to the Christians in the country. It is a halt to make money
out of the emissions done to Christians. They might not believe in it but
the extinction event is not beneficial to people who sticks to their beliefs.
The bottom line is, if they are not Christians, the idea of giving respect to
Christian’s belief or other’s belief should hit/enter their minds.

If you want to know more about the rapture, read the Bible. If you don’t believe it, you might be left.

Earthquake monitoring gadget

According to the Bible, there are some signs that you will experience and see before the end of the world comes or sometimes ascribed to the “RAPTURE.” Earthquakes are one of the signs. If you can see/notice today, earthquakes are occurring every time. I have snipped a picture from my gadget. The recorded earthquakes was about 3pm-6pm. See how the occurrence of earthquake was.

You can download this gadget (on the left part) of your computer online so you could check the Earth’s earthquake occurrence.

The Law of 4, WHO is the 67th?

The Law of Four, Who is the 67th?
You need to watch the film to understand what this law is all about

One night I was surfing the internet looking for a film to
watch online. Unfortunately, I found a site where there is a free download
option only. I watched the movie, The Shutter Island, I have downloaded and found myself so much into it that I can’t get over it. It’s been couple of weeks but still been thinking of it. It really is a shuttering movie.

The next day, I was just thinking of the film alone, nothing else. I tried to watch it the second time till the fourth and still a lot of question left on my mind that remains unanswered about the movie.

There are some scenes from the movie that you will not have a hunch of what really is happening. Everything will remain vague unless you try to understand and catch important points from everyone.

Note: if you are to watch it, make sure your brain is working well. LOL!

I had many assumptions while watching. I thought that everything I was thinking was right… at the end, the thrill ends… but the aftermath notions never end. This is a great film! Watch it yourself and you’ll see what I say.
