Today I Am Thankful, Week 3

Sunday, July 20th, 2008

How quickly a week passes. This makes me realise how we often dismiss the fact that time is indeed fleeting. You can only feel it during the moment when you’re thinking about it. You can only look back and try to remember what we have done and think of what we will be doing. Personally, [...]

Today I Am Thankful

Sunday, July 6th, 2008

To exercise thankfulness in one’s life is something that I will always strive to do. Not only will it allow you to count your hatched chicks (or so they say) but also to exercise hope for things to come soon after.
We all know that time will wait for no man. Every second, minute, hour, day, [...]

Purged and Picker Uppers

Saturday, July 5th, 2008

Though I had said I’ll be around here more often, I went and disappeared for more than a month. Fantastic, yea? I didn’t mean to, really.
With life happening all around, sometimes, it’s good to take yourself out of the things that cause you to remain where you are. It’s good to know that there’s [...]

Serendipity & Reflections

Friday, August 10th, 2007

“We don’t see things as they are, we see things as we are.”
— Anais Nin
This is not the first time I’ve encountered this thought. The central message has been at the back of my mind, silently guiding the way I deal with people and situations, sometimes consciously and, most of the times, not.
We find ourselves [...]

Pride & Prejudice, Jane Austen and a Nut in the Making

Thursday, August 9th, 2007

If there’s one book I can name as a favourite then it would be Jane Austen’s Pride & Prejudice. I’ve already read the book and seen the film (which stars Keira Knightly) over five times and that can still be an understatement.
It’s quite funny, actually, cuz I remember when I went to Australia without my [...]

Ripples, Great Feats and a Single Peso

Sunday, June 24th, 2007

“Everything we do affects other people.”
— Luke Ford
I reckon it’s true. It may be to immediate people surrounding us (circle of influence) or some random person you encounter on a normal day.
The effect may not be grand or catastrophic but it’s still an effect all the same.
This is not a call to legalisation of actions [...]

Thoughts on Loss & Heartbreak

Friday, June 22nd, 2007

We all know that in life, nothing is ever permanent. One thing that’s ever constant is change. On good days, there will be opportunities wherein you can add something to enrich your life. And on bad days, there is that chance to experience heartbreak over certain losses.
For every individual, there are different levels of intensity [...]

CAPTCHA a Thought

Saturday, May 26th, 2007

Didja get it?! Oh, I’m so witty.
Kidding aside, though, I just wanted to talk about certain simple things that we sometimes overlook since it seems too trivial to be noticed. Who would’ve thought that you’d get inspiration from a CAPTCHA? I sure didn’t.
If you’re wondering which or what blog’s CAPTCHA I took [...]

Consider the People behind the Stories

Thursday, May 17th, 2007

In every story, we should not forget that there are people behind each and every one of them. They may be delivered in a comical and entertaining way but the manner cannot diminish the fact that stories involve people. And these people have feelings.
You might ask me, “What of the story about the tortoise and [...]

Do you know what is in you?

Tuesday, April 24th, 2007

“Be faithful to that which exists within yourself.”
— Andre Gide
You’ve probably heard the words, “you got what it takes” said before but I wonder how many of us have truly seen and fathomed what it is that is in us. I suppose that having read a lot of self-help, empowering or inspirational books to [...]
