THE 2009..

Dear 2009:

BAD TRIP ka!

You put the world's finances to the drain,

You kicked our ass out and put a lot of my brothers and sisters out of work...

You give us flood and a lot were left homeless... lifeless..

You made a lot of people hungry.

You forced a lot of our youth to quit school

You robbed us of hope...you stripped us with our dignity.

You've put our backs on the wall..

You made a lot of people cry...

BAD TRIP ka!

Mabuti na lang...

We have been in this world long enough to

.. establish LOVE i n each other's hearts..

..gain TRUE friends who help us get through to the toughest of times..

..we have a strongly knit family and our love for each other is strong enough to keep our faith with each other..

.. our compassion for our each other have made each day bearable.

BUT despite your meanness you have brought up the worst and the BEST in us..

You have made us realize that we can be stronger than we thought could ever be..

We have learned to surpass our human limitations..

There had been an abundant supply of love, care and humanity

and best of all, we were still able to step forward with our FAITH..

and we will continue to do so... for as long as we live..

GOODBYE 2009!

P.S.... wag ka nang BABALIK leche ka!!

and to 2010....HELLO! WE ARE READY FOR YOU.. =)

the Rain....

i woke up today with an unusual feeling of coldness... yeah..

its not the usual coldness brought by the AIR-CONDITION but something else..

as it was... it was raining outside.. for a moment i thought i was "HOME"..


i let my self dream for some more time.. snuggling further in a blanket, imagining the aroma of hot BATANGAS COFFEE boiling in a pot just like what we always have in "NANAY PELING's house...

the freshly bake "PAN DE SAL.. my mother's cooking, my Tatay's warm smile, my grandma's stories.. even my siblings bantering..

i miss them all...

i wish i could be anywhere but HERE...

HERE in the country where people like me..
...work their ass off..
... give-up the comforts of home..
... leave the family and friends behind,
... endure the pain of being alone..
... miss the family reunion..
... miss the weddings in the family..
... miss birthdays of love ones..
...miss anniversaries..
... miss CHRISTMAS... miss NEW YEAR.. =(

... i miss being PINOY... i miss being THERE... i miss the feeling of HOME..

because THERE is where i really BELONG.

HERE, i am nothing but a part of the minorities and you,r e going to be treated as one.

yeah.. people like will be paid far more better than what we get at home
but at the end of the day... you would ask yourself.. WAS IT Fu***ng WORTH IT???? Considering what we need to GIVE UP.. in exchange for a few more bucks...was it worth it????

Hell NO!!.... not at all..... =(

the COOKIE

I had recently received a Not-So-Very-Good-News. And in life if it is a BAD news, no matter what level it is, it is still bad news all the same. Well, I had to admit that it doesn't necessarily makes me the most "kawawa" in the whole universe but it still "crippled" me in a way.

I would need to make certain adjustments on plans...

i need to change tactics..

i need to re-divert my focus..

i need to accept that things may not be the same as before... (for now)
and i need to still live my life as if everything is just alright when, i know very well that it is otherwise.

in all these.. the latter is the hardest thing to do.

We don't have much options these days, do we? Not when the famous "recession"is on going and all the people suffers from it. Life is foolish sometimes, it gives you THREATS, but the most foolish are the people who takes these THREATS seriously. We people were born warriors, maybe not on a same level as the others but we are equally equipped to fight any battles thrown on our way. On a lighter note, think of ourselves as a SMILEY COOKIES.. they still smile though they know they were made to be eaten... alive... heheh

As Paulo Coelho once twitted : (huh close kami!!! as in)

"Dificuldade" é o nome de uma ferramenta criada para mostrar à pessoa quem ela é.

"Difficulty" is the name of an ancient tool created to define who we are !

So guys, lets greet each day with a great smile on our faces and let's show the world what a TOUGH COOKIE WE ARE ALL MADE OF!!

=) Mars
