Rediscovering Self

In life, we chose some path that we thought it's the best to follow. Criteria vary from person to person. And path maybe chosen based on the person's perspective at the moment in time.

There are things that we ought to know, but opted not to know. For simplicity?! Or really just opted not to know at all?!!! I suppose it's the latter.

Well, simplicity is the best and could be a bliss. Not everyone will agree though. In this world that we live in, at times we would like to have the best. Who doesn't want the best?

But when we factor in people around us, things become complex, and simplicity diminishes if not really extinguished. This would be the time to think that we should have opted to know things that we ought to know.

Recognizing such reality often we need an angel to show us the way when we get lost. I guess I'm lucky to meet such angel. :D

Rediscovering self feels very refreshing. It's hard to describe a different feeling when you rediscover yourself.

Just remember that an angel will always come to guide and show us the way...

Inspiration

Each one of us, at least once, seek something to inspire us in our daily life. We try to make the most out of anything to enjoy. We do things that we thought may make us happy. We pursue things and dreams, and hoping and trying to achieve such things.

But sometimes when we pause, look back and think at times we ask "So what have I achieved?". Then we start thinking of a lot of things and different things. A lot of questions come into our mind, and sometimes everything seems confusing.

Adding to confusion maybe the environment and people surrounding us. Expectation from others may add weight to it. It's easier not to give in to these pressure of expectations. But when people start to emulate or make us a role model, pressure is heavier from within. We may not want to be somebody's model, but we can't prevent others to make us to be their model.

We become lost when we have a lot things in mind. So many things that may have happened that we wish it never happened at all. It's overwhelming!!!

Lost!!!

Inspiration! We need it to make everything back to what we wanna be, and where we gonna be!

Thanks to people that bring us inspiration. Someone may inspire us to help and see things clearly and show us the path that we've been seeking for.

Beauty, brain, honesty & frankness make everything perfect and irresistible and so beautiful.

Well, love is the best inspiration!!!

Stop Crying Your Heart Out (Oasis)


Hold up
Hold on
Don't be scared
You'll never change what's been and gone

May your smile (may your smile)
Shine on (shine on)
Don't be scared (don't be scared)
Your destiny may keep you warm

Cos all of the stars
Are fading away
Just try not to worry
You'll see them some day
Take what you need
And be on your way
And stop crying your heart out

Get up (get up)
Come on (come on)
Why're you scared? (I'm not scared)
You'll never change
What's been and gone

Cos all of the stars
Are fading away
Just try not to worry
You'll see them some day
Take what you need
And be on your way
And stop crying your heart out

Cos all of the stars
Are fading away
Just try not to worry
You'll see them some day
Take what you need
And be on your way
And stop crying your heart out

We're all of us stars
We're fading away
Just try not to worry
You'll see us some day
Just take what you need
And be on your way
And stop crying your heart out
Stop crying your heart out
Stop crying your heart out

Earth and the Human Race

"It was the only color we could see in the universe. ... "We're living on a tiny little dust mote in left field on a rather insignificant galaxy. And basically this is it for humans. It strikes me that it's a shame that we're squabbling over oil and borders." (Taken from www.washingtonpost.com)

Recently we can read and hear discussions about global warming. There are suggestions on how to tackle this dilemma, however, there's not an exact solution. Even solution like tree planting (complement solution) has some setback due to some warnings that it may not be effective.

No matter what the suggested solutions are, most likely global warming will just be slowed down, but won't be resolved. The rate of global warming will be proportionate that of peoples' eagerness to advance our technologies and raise the comfort of living.

This issue of global warming can be viewed as unfair to third world countries in which people even have difficulty earning a living. Industrial nations are the major contributors to carbon dioxide, and they may need to take actions.

Carbon taxation is the suggested way of reducing carbon emission. But will itl help?! Most likely not coz rich nations can afford to buy and pay such hefty price just to maintain their positions in the industry.

Human race has made destruction to earth that seems impossible to reverse its effect.

We just hope that it's not too late to resolve this problem. And we'll keep our fingers crossed... Earth as far as we know is the only place that human beings can live... for now...

Tuldok (Asin)

Ang tuldok ay may salaysay at may kahulugan
The dot has a story and meaning
Na dapat mapansin at maintindihan
That needs to be noticed and understood
Kahit sino ka man ay dapat malaman
Whoever you are, it must be known
Na dito sa mundo ikaw ay tuldok lang
That in this world you're just a dot

Kahit na ang araw sa kalangitan
Even the sun in the heavens
Siya ay tuldok lamang sa kalawakan
It's just a dot in the universe
Lahat ng bagay ay tuldok ang pinanggalingan
All things started from the dot
At kung masdang mabuti, tuldok ang uuwian
And if looked closely, to dot it returns.

AD LIB


Tingnan mong mabuti ang 'sang katauhan
Look closely at the peoples
Maraming nag-aaway, tuldok lang ang dahilan
Many quarreled just due to a dot
Sa aking nakita, ako'y natawa lang
Of what I've seen, I laughed
'Pagkat ang nangyayari'y malaking kahibangan
Because what happened was a craziness

Kaya wala kang dapat na ipagmayabang
Therefore, you got nothing to be proud of
Na ikaw ay mautak at maraming alam
That you're brainy and knowledgeable
Dahil kung susuriin at ating iisipin
Because if we scrutinize and think about it
Katulad ng lahat, ikaw ay tuldok rin
Just like the rest, you're just a dot
