The Point

What is the point of what I have been posting here for over a month already?

Well, first this blog is a diary. This is intended to keep track of my journey. Basically, this is for me. I want to see how I’ve been thinking, acting and learning.

Second, for those who will bother to read or just look at the pictures, I want to show how beautiful our journey can be by enjoying the things in front of us. To dream big and become big is great. To become the best we can possibly be is amazing. Focusing on our life’s purpose is worthwhile. I actually believe in all of these. I, myself, is spending great deal of time, money and effort to become I want to be. However, the end is not all that matters.

Each of my posts is a daily dose of finding the balance between enjoying the journey and achieving our goals. I hope that this will be a constant reminder of the importance of keeping our sanity when the going gets tough.

As you may notice, my life, no matter how lifeylicious my daily experiences are, is far from perfect. Just like others I have many wants. Yes, they are far more numerous than my needs, but I try not to magnify the things that are lacking. I avoid a sad or tragic ending of complaining. I have troubles too. Believe me, they are overwhelming if I will start counting. I can use my creativity to enumerate as many as you can, but I will not waste my precious time. I am smart enough to know that doing so is unhealthy. F.Y.I., I am preventing the acceleration of my aging process in a natural way. Problems or challenges are just around. They are here to make us better persons. However, talking about problems, especially when we have no control of them, is futile, a waste of energy. To save ourselves from devastation/depression, we must remember that we cannot control others, but the good thing is we can control ourselves. Thanks be to God!

It’s morning now… I have to go. As I always say, happiness is a choice. By the way, how about trying the following mantra: Life is beautiful. Life is sweet. Life is what we make out of it. 

Being able to express myself is lifeylicious…

Our life can be just like this... Can you see the heart?

Life Defined

Before the end of this month, I think it's just proper for me to give you an idea of how my life is these days. I've been saying lifeylicious in almost (if not all, I am not sure) all of my entries and that perhaps make you think that I am livin la vida loca. ( Di naman po araw-araw! hehe)

Now that the world is in the brink of another war, people go gaga over multi-million 6/55 lotto jackpot, environmentalists left and right scream "wake up before it's to late, the Pope made a controversial statement about condom, ABS has filed a suit against Willie, more and more blood donors are found to be infected by HIV, earthquake has been taking place in different parts of the world, sink hole news seems no longer strange, Twitter declines Google offer, Ampatuan incident is a year old, plagiarism has reached even the supposed-epitome of integrity in the land, Filipinos express mixed feelings about Christmas holiday and more, I still keep on saying 'lifeylicious'!

Actually, lifeylicious has become my mantra. It helps me ignore the things which I cannot control. With all that is happening, sanity is a reliable weapon, an armor. I trust HIM. He will take care of the things I can't. I just have to do my part. He has shown me my purpose and it is where I should focus.

Because of this attitude, I have become conscious of many lifeylicious things around. I will not enumerate them here because I plan to share them to you one at a time. It's like eating your favorite food (like ice cream and cake), it won't be healthy if it is beyond your limit. It will just make you sick.

Right now, just like before I am learning. Learning is fun. Learning about life and living life can be both fun. Life is fun. It may be challenging at times, but it is still FUN! It's lifeylicious.
