It's Gonna Make Sense

Random thoughts

Life comes in many shapes
You think you know what you got
Until it changes

Life, for me, is unpredictable. Hindi mo alam kung ano ang mangyayari ngayon, bukas, at sa hinaharap. Minsan, magugulat ka na lang sa mga bagay na nangyayari sa iyong paligid na nagdudulot sa iyo ng kaligayahan o kalungkutan. Minsan naman ay magugulat ka na lang din sa mga nangyayari sa iyong buhay…. ‘yon nga yata ang sabi nila na, EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED. Lahat ay pwedeng mangyari na hindi mo inaasahan. Live life to the fullest na nga lang daw! Savor the moments… and value the people na dumating sa iyong buhay.

And life will take you high and low
You gotta learn how to walk
And then which way to go
Every choice you make
When you're lost
Every step you takeHas it's cause

In our life, maraming ups and downs… ‘yong tipong pakiramdam mo ay nag-iisa ka na lang walang kasama, walang umaalalay at pakiramdam mo ay babagsak ka na lang sa isang tabi. In short, you want to give up life. Dahil pakiramdam mo ay ikaw na ang pinaka-sawing tao sa balat ng lupa. Hmp! Pero, hindi natin alam na ito ay isa lamang sa mga trials sa buhay para maging matapang at maging matatag sa kung anumang unos na darating.

Maaaring masasabi mo na pinaglalaruan ka nang tadhana. Pero naisip mo ba na ito lamang ang way ni God para ikaw ay lumapit sa kanya at kausapin? Minsan kasi sa buhay ‘pag andyan na lahat lahat sa buhay mo ay nakakalimutan na SIYA na siyang nagbigay sa iyo ng mga biyaya!

Minsan naman nagiging mapagmataas na sa iyong kapwa. Hindi mo ba naisip kung ano ang nararamdaman Niya sa t’wing naging sakim ka sa ibang tao?

May mga problema kang pakiramdam mo ay napapagod ka na at nagtatanong kung hanggang kailan matatapos ang lahat ng iyong mga problema? Subalit, lingid sa ating kaalaman ay ang problema ang siyang tumutulong sayo upang maging better person. It’s your choice kung magpakalulong ka na lang sa mga problema mo at hindi mo ito hanapan ng solusyon! It’s really your choice, ok?

Lahat naman ng problema ay may solusyon. H’wag lamang ito madaliin kumbaga, step by step ang proseso!

After you clear your eyes
You'll see the light
Somewhere in the darkness
After the rain has gone
You'll feel the sun comes
And though it seems your sorrow never ends
Someday it's gonna make sense
Tears you she'd are all the same
When you laughed 'till you cried
Or broken down in pain

All the pains, the tears, and the heartaches will be vanished because after all, you will see the light and you will see the beauty of life. Do not afraid… because every sunset may sunrise na darating… ok?

Kung gusto mong umiyak, umiyak ka lang… hindi masama yan dahil pagkatapos mong mailabas ang sama ng loob na nasa kaibuturan ng iyong puso, you will feel relieved!

Just smile!
Ok?
Smile! :D

Mag-syota

Mag-syota na sila simula noong tumuntong sila ng high school. Napaka-sweet nilang dalawa at karamihan sa kanilang mga kaklase ay naiinggit. Maganda at gwapo ang mag-syotang ito. Pareho silang may part time job after their class. Si lalaki, sa boutique ng pamilya niya nagpa-part time. Si babae naman, sa isang coffee shop. Graduating sila pareho at candidate for valedictorian, si lalaki at candidate for salutatorian naman, si babae.

Napaka-swerte nilang dalawa sa isa’t isa at mahal na mahal nila ang isa’t isa. Ang pamilya ng dalawang ito ay hindi naman tutol sa kanilang relasyon. Ipinanganak sila na parehong may respeto sa isa’t isa at pagmamahal sa bawat isa. Para na ngang mag-asawa ang dalawang ito e.

Isang gabi pagkatapos ng party na dinaluhan nila, ay ‘yon na pala ang katapusan ng pagkikita at pagsasama nilang dalawa. Bakit? Ito ang nangyari…

Habang pauwi sila mula sa party na kanilang dinaluhan… si lalaki ay nagmamaneho ng sasakyan. At sila’y binangga ng isang ten wheeler truck… himalang nakaligtas si babae at ang kawawang lalaki ay naipit sa ilalim ng kotseng kanilang sinasakyan. At ito’y binawian ng buhay sa loob mismo ng sasakyan.

Napakasakit at sobrang lungkot ang nararamdaman ni babae dahil sa nangyari, halos hindi na siya lumalabas nang bahay dahil sa sobrang lungkot niya. Maraming tanong ang pumapasok sa isipan niya.

At hindi lang si babae ang nagluksa kundi pati na rin ang pamilya ng lalaki lalo na sa kanyang Nanay na kung saan ay malapit siya.

Ito ang kwento ng pag-iibigan nina Lawrence at Vicky.

Paano mo haharapin ang ganitong trahedya ng iyong buhay? Kung ikaw ang nasa kalagayan ni Vicky? Ano kaya ang gagawin mo?

Hindi natin hawak ang oras at ang buhay natin at lalong hindi natin alam kung hanggang kailan tayo sa mundong ito. Maraming pwedeng mangyari sa bawat segundo na ating buhay. Kaya naman, pahalagahan natin ang bawat segundo o minuto o oras na binibigay Niya sa atin…

SIYA na ang bahala

Ang paglubog ng araw ay napakagandang tanawin,
Minsan malungkot ito at minsan naman ay masaya,
Parang buhay ng tao,
May masayang tagpo at may malungkot.

Bawat unos ng buhay,
Bawat suliranin na kinakaharap,
Bawat pagsubok,
At bawat sakit na nararamdaman.

Ang paglubog ng araw ay nagsasabing,
Ang lahat ng dinaranas mo ay mapapawi
At lilipas lamang dahil,
Ito’y kasama sa bawat paglalakbay ng buhay.

Sinasabing h’wag kang mapagod sa iyong paglalakbay
H’wag kang sumuko sa bawat karanasan
H’wag kang panghinaan ng loob sa lahat
ng pangyayari sa iyong buhay.

Manalig ka sa Kanya
Dahil Siya ang nakakaalam ng bawat takbo ng iyong buhay
Siya ang may hawak ng lahat
Ipagpaubaya mo sa kanya ang lahat
Humingi ka ng gabay sa bawat paglalakbay.

Manalangin at gabayan ka Niya….

Enjoy your journey

To everything there is a season,
A time for every purpose under heaven.

A time to be born, and a time to die;
A time to plant, and a time to pluck what is planted.

A time to kill, and a time to heal;
A time to break down, and a time to build up.

A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, and a time to dance.

A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones;
A time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

A time to gain, and a time to lose;
A time to keep, and a time to throw away;

A time to tear, and a time to sew;
A time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

A time to love, and a time to hate;
A time of war, and a time of peace.

What profit has the worker from that in which he labor?
I have seen the God-given task with which sons of men are to be occupied.
He has made everything beautiful in its time.
Also He has put eternity in their hearts,
Except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.

I know that there is nothing better for them that to rejoice, and to do good in their lives, and also that every man should eat and enjoy the good of all his labor – it is the gift of God.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-13 (NKJV)

As You Go Through Life

In life, we never know our fate... we don't know exactly what will happen for our future. Some are very lucky. And some are still waiting for their luck. There are lots of trials we encountered in our journey of life. Trials that sometimes we want to give up or even we ought to end our life because of unreasonable situation. We don't know on how if we can overcome these trials because all in our minds are NEGATIVE - it doesn't help us to face the reality.

Life is like a game. If you know the game and you know how to use your strategy surely you will be the winner! If not, sad to say but you are the loser.

Life is like a fruit tree. It is seasonal. Sometimes it is full of leaves and fruits and sometimes, not.

Life is full of challenges. It is up to you on how to handle the situation and how to face the consequences. Be brave in facing any challenges in life. God will give us challenges because HE knows we can make it.

Don't get tired in facing challenges in life because it will help us to be a better person and stronger individual. Just don't forget to call Him if you really needed Him. He is just in our side guiding us. Maybe we forgot Him that is why He gives us these challenges because He wants us to be near by Him.

Always bear in mind that there is always tomorrow… Just have FAITH!

-Marco Paolo-

As You Go Through Life ...

1. Set your own pace........When someone is pushing you, it's ok to tell them they're pushing.
2. Take nothing for granted........Watch water flow, the corn grow, the leaves blow, your neighbors mow.
3. Allow yourself time to be lazy and unproductive........Rest isn't a luxury, it's a necessity.
4. Listen to the wind blow........It carries a message of yesterday and tomorrow........And now.........Now counts.
5. Rest on your laurels........They bring comfort whatever their size, age or condition.
6. Talk slower. Talk less. Don't talk. Communication isn't measured by words.
7. Give yourself permission to be late sometimes........Life is for living, not scheduling.
8. Listen to the song of a bird........The complete song. Music and nature are gifts, but only if you are willing to receive them.
9. Slow down. God is still in heaven........You are not responsible for doing it all...yourself... right now.
10. Remember a happy, peaceful time in your past........Rest there. Each moment has a richness that takes a lifetime to savor.
11. Quit planning how you're going to use what you know, learn or possess........God's gifts just are. Be grateful and their purpose will be clear.
12. When you walk with someone, don't think about what you'll say next........Thoughts will spring up naturally if you let them.
13. Talk and play with children........It will bring out the unhurried little person inside you.
14. Create a place in your home...At your work....in your heart...where you can go for quiet and recollection. You deserve it.
15. Take time to think........Action is good and necessary, but it's fruitful only if we muse, ponder and mull.
16. Make time for play........The things you like to do. Whatever your age, your inner child needs re-creation.
17. Watch and listen to the night sky........It speaks.
18. Listen to the words you speak........Especially in prayer.
19. Learn to stand back and let others take their turn as leaders........ There will always be new opportunities for you to step out in front again.
20. Divide big jobs into little jobs........If God took six days to create the universe, can you do any better?
21. Direct your life with purposeful choices, not with speed and efficiency........The best musician is one who plays with expression and meaning, not the one who finishes first.
22. Take a day off alone........Make a retreat. You can learn from monks and hermits without becoming one.
23. Pet a furry friend........You will give and get the gift of now.
24. Work with your hands........It frees the mind.
25. Take time to wonder........Without wonder, life is merely an existence.

27. Once in awhile........Turn down the lights, The throttle, The invitations. Less really can be more.
28. Let go......Nothing is usually the hardest thing to do...but often it is the best.
29. Taste your food........God gave it to delight as well as nourish.
30. Notice the sun and the moon as they rise and set........They are remarkable for their steady pattern of movement, not their speed.
31. And as you ramble on thru life my dearest friend........Keep your eye upon the doughnut, and not upon the hole.
32. "AND SLOWLY COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS ONE AT A TIME"

Feeling Down?

I just want to share this to you guys I received this thru my company email and I hope it gives us tips on how to avoid feeling down or sad.

Please read the article below:

Everyone has disappointments, setbacks, bad breaks and frustrations. Sometimes it seems that they all come at once, and we find ourselves in a funk. Suddenly we start to see the negative side of everything, and that is certainly no way to live. Let's look at some ways to quickly bounce back.

Take action. Do something positive. Even if it's just mowing the yard, or cleaning the old files from your hard disk. Taking action puts you in control of your life, and helps you to get positively focused. Small accomplishments can do wonders for your attitude.

Help someone else. Cheerfully do something for another person. Read a book to a child. Make a donation of time or money. Help your neighbor with a project. Give of yourself and you'll feel great.

Count your blessings. There are so many good things about life, and too often we take them for granted. Appreciate and be thankful for your home, your health, your family, your life's experiences, your friends, your skills, your knowledge, and the beautiful world around you. Think of all the people who love you and care about you.

Find a challenge. Re-direct your negative energy and frustrations toward something that will challenge you to be your best.

Things are as negative or as positive as you make them. Adjust your attitude and keep your life on the upward trail.

-- Ralph Marston

The Story of the Bible and the Diamond Ring

My officemate sent me this message early this morning and i would like to share it with you.

A married lady was expecting a birthday gift from her husband.

For many months she had admired a beautiful diamond ring in a showroom, and knowing her husband could affort it, she told him that was she wanted.

As her birthday approached, this lady waited signed that her husband had purchased the diamond ring.

Finally, on the morning of her birthday, her husband called her into his study room. Her husband told her how proud he was to have such a good wife, and told her how much he loved her.
He handed her a beautiful wrapped gift box. Curious, the wife opened the box and found alovely leather-bound Bible, with the wife's name embossed in gold.

Angrily, she raised her voice to her husband and said, 'With all your money you give me a Bible?' And stormed out of the house, leaving her husband.


Many years passed and the lady was very successful in business. She managed to settle for a more beautiful house and a wonderful family, but realized her ex-husband was very old, and thought perhaps she should go to visit him. She had not seen him for many years.

But before she could make arrangements, she received a telegram telling her that her ex-husband had passed away, and willed all of his possessions to her. She needed to come back immediately and take care of things.



When she arrived at her ex-husband's house, sudden sadness and regret filled her heart. She began to search through her ex-husband's important papers and saw the still new Bible, just as she had left it years before.

With tears, she opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. Her ex-husband had carefully underlined a verse, Matt 7:11, 'And if you, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your Heavenly Father, who is in heaven, give what is good to those who ask Him?'

As she read those words, a tiny package dropped from the back of the Bible. It had a diamond ring, with her name engraved on it -- the same diamond ring which she saw at the showroom.

On the tag was the date of her birth, and the words. 'LUV U ALWAYS'.

---> Always appreciate little things; they usually lead you to bigger and better things. Do appreciate also simple gift whether it is expensive or not. The important is that it is coming from the bottom of someone's heart.

So Blessed...

We have to enjoy the gift of life and learn to be contented with what we have while working towards what we want. A problem is part of life and is a test. We should be strong and learn how we can answer it or solve it.

“Life is a series of pulls back and forth. You want to do one thing, but you are bound to do something else. Something hurts you, yet you know it shouldn’t. You take certain things for granted, even when you know you should never take anything for granted”. – Morrie Schwartz
