26

What makes your "day" special when everybody has it?

I'm thankful for this day as this is the day that the Lord has made! How can I not rejoice then?

Today, my girlfriend went to my home with her gifts and ice cream cake. We will go to Taguig to buy a new pair of shoes and eat at Frankie's and practice some cinematography shots. So, I have a new pair of shoes, something that I can brag while walking around. I just like it that much. 

We had stories to tell and experiences that we can laugh about. I miss this girl, man, it's been awhile when we really have this kind of "dates". 

Then, we went back home to take home our 'buys' for today and went straight to Festival mall for some of her shopping, we went to her home afterwards. 

It's quite a fast and tiring day. It's a simple day that's full of shopping but what makes it special is the 5 love languages.

She spent time with me for the whole day, she gave me gifts, she hugs me and lay her arms around me, she assists me and sent me a letter. 

And there's one gift that she gave that sealed everything about her being the "one" and it's amazing.

25 and it's fading

Less than 24 hours before I can bid goodbye to the number 25 and tomorrow will be another day of confusion trying to remember my age. 

25. 

When I was 18, It was my dream to be married at 25. Does dream do come true? Well, in this case, not. I'm not married, but I have a beautiful-hot-girlfriend, so I'm on the right track. 

I dreamed of having a family, a nice house and a tons of money. It's just a dream but, I still have a long way to go. I'll still pursue this. I need more time.

I'm 25, turning 26 and I'm still studying, learning about the things that I'm passionate about. It's kinda sad sometimes. It makes me wanna rush. But yeah. Tomorrow's another day for someone. It's a big day for me. 

Hold on to hope if you got it

Don't let it go for nobody

They say that dreaming is free

But I wouldn’t care what it cost me

Ayokong Tumanda

About a week ago, TaskUs sent an email to BGC employees inviting us about the upcoming Happy Hour and this is big because they've invited a big name band and they want us to guess.

So this day came to pass. It was itchyworms. This is one of the iconic band in OPM because of their creativity and their unique music.

So, it happened. Though I was somehow disappointed of how some people act. Because you know, this is a mini-concert and almost everyone is raising up their phone to take pictures and/or videos, well I understand that you know, you rarely see big names like this and you don't want to miss a chance to have a photo and video with them. 

But at the start, almost nobody is singing. I was on the back and I wanted to jump and rock on for their first song but the crowd has no energy. Hahahah. Anyway, that's just me. I just want to live in the moment. (I also took some pictures but, yeah. Some)

That's not the point of this blog though. When they started playing, I think their first song was "Gusto Ko Lamang Sa Buhay",  it's a good song, upbeat, simple lyrics but full of meaning. But then, their second song is dedicated to those who will celebrate their birthday soon (Ahem) and it's called, "Ayokong Tumanda".

It goes like this:

"Ayokong tumanda
Ayokong tumanda
Ayokong tumanda
Kund hindi ka kasama"

It makes me think that that's what I want now. That's what my wishlist contains. Not the gadgets, not the gifts or the money but I want to grow and spend my life with you, Jasmin.

Writing in behalf of someone else

Several times in this blog I wrote something in behalf of someone else
I just like the idea of "What if he's a writer" or "How will she tell this story."
So, with that in mind, I'm trying to create a narrative that is based on what they say or what they did.
And add another emotion or some words that pushed action on the art.

It's amazing and somehow painful, because as much as possible, I want to feel that emotion
I long to have the emotion or at least a pinch of it so it can fuel the passion on my writing. 
I believe that If you write with emotion it brings colors and wonders to the art.

Well, that's just my thing. 

Goodnight!

I'm not sure what happened but it did.

I was holding my heart in me
Not sure of what's going to happen
But with what I can give, 
I believe that it can change her mind

I took a step forward

With the time that I can give 
And sweetness that I can offer
I somehow believe 
That everything will work out

So I took another step forward

I was hopeful 
I built my courage up 
With the script that I've made
This pain won't last long

I took another step.

Everything will be fine
I took another one
It will be great
I took another step
Her mind will change
And another one

There I was, wasting what I can offer..
Trying to build myself up
Trying to write a script for my family and friends about what happened
Because I realized that 

It was not her mind that needed to be changed.
It was her heart.

When Will I Stop?

Apparently, there are things that needed to be changed in my life. 

When will be my turning point? That special event that we often see on success stories of different people in different fields.

When will I stop? That moment that we pause and think about the decisions that we're making.

When will I learn? That moment that we realize that everything has to change and it is for the better.


When will I stop being ashamed of what I believe in?
When will I stop listening to those voices that bring shame?
When will I stop being worried about what people think of me?
When will I stop being offended if their opinion is different from mine?

It bothers me that I'm bothered by all of these. What's my limitation? When will I explode? But in all honesty, we have to and need to be better. Success is continuous self-improvement. It's sharpening our mind, soul and body. But..

When will I start sharing my craft?
When will I start standing on what I believe in?
When will I start being careless of their thoughts on me?
When will I start accepting diversity?

When? And how?

Giving Your All

Have you tried giving your all to someone?
When I say "all", I mean "everything" like when you love somebody and you gave your all. The attention, the time and there's nothing left for other people like your family and friends?

Or when you're creating something. You're producing, taking pictures or writing a song. Have you tried to give your all that there's nothing left? You put the effort, the time and your focus just to build something out of nothing. 

You're inspired and started creating a masterpiece, decided to give your everything and it's beautiful. Well, that's how they do it.

Not forced and uninspired. Maybe that's really how it works. You do the work, give your all and expect great results. 

Now, I know. But how do I start?

How do we start?
